Isabelle Scemama, CEO of AXA IM – Real Assets: “In a lower for longer interest rate environment, investment in real assets is undisputed in its ability to deliver an attractive solution to the global search for yield. This has inevitably resulted in increased competition for assets and, against a challenging backdrop, the calibre and scale of deals executed during 2019 is a clear demonstration of the strength of AXA IM – Real Assets’ origination platform. 2020 is, again, about sticking to our convictions. We benefit from a strong track record that demonstrates our capacity to both deploy and generate value through our fully integrated approach to asset management, which we expect to remain a compelling proposition as we move closer to our €100 billion milestone.”
