Bevan Green has become business development manager for AXA IM Core, where he will report to Michelle Lacy.
Previously, he was a business development manager for Colonial First State Investments. Prior to that, Mr Green held business development roles with Zurich Investments, NAB Asset Management and Nikko Asset Management.
“Bevan’s appointment demonstrates AXA IM’s commitment to Australian clients as we continue to provide more focus and proximity to our clients in response to their evolving needs,” Ms Lacey said.
She added the company is seeing growing demand for sustainable investments.
“In this challenging environment, responsible investing has become even more central to our business priorities, with climate change representing our largest area of engagement in 2020,” Ms Lacey said.
“We are seeing growing momentum for more sustainable investments globally. This is evident as AXA IM noted an increase in total FUM to AUD$500 million for the Sustainable Equity Strategy in Australia. Globally, 89 per cent of AXA IM Core’s assets under management are now fully ESG-integrated.”
