With an objective of achieving a return similar to or greater than the Stoxx Europe 600 Banks Net Return, the Fund has delivered an annualised return of 48.18%¹ over the past three years, against the benchmark of 39.75%.
This impressive performance is driven by a high-conviction, research-led investment approach focused on European financial institutions.
The Fund, actively managed by Antonio Roman, is for investment over a minimum 5-year time horizon.
David Benamou, CIO and Managing Partner of Axiom Alternative Investments:
“We are delighted that the Axiom European Banks Equity fund is now available to UK investors. The fund represents a unique opportunity to gain targeted exposure to European financial institutions, critical pillars of the continent’s economic infrastructure.
“In a sector characterised by discounted valuations and attractive yields, our differentiated strategy identifies stocks with the potential to outperform analyst expectations. With Antonio’s leadership, we are confident of further strong returns over the coming years.”
