Global investment giant AXA IM Alts has appointed Victoria Hall to the newly created role of head of funds, infrastructure.
Based in London, Hall will report directly to Mark Gilligan, AXA IM Alts’ head of infrastructure.
She will be responsible for supporting the growth of AXA IM Alts’ infrastructure platform, overseeing investment execution, portfolio management and the implementation of ESG and sustainable finance disclosure obligations.
She will also work closely with new and existing clients seeking to invest in stable alternative assets.
Gilligan commented: 'Infrastructure was one of AXA IM Alts’ fastest growing segments in 2022 and remains a strategic priority for 2023, reflecting both the critical role that infrastructure will play in accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral economy and increasing investor demand for exposure to markets generating yield with diversification and reduced volatility.
'Victoria has a deep track record of sourcing and executing high-profile deals.
'Her appointment to head of funds marks a critical point in our growth as we offer evergreen investment solutions to our clients, requiring sophisticated fund management oversight, reporting, ESG performance tracking and valuation, and the team looks forward to working closely with her.'
Hall was most recently European head of transactions - special situations at AXA IM Alts, where she has spent the past 15 years in a variety of roles. She brings considerable expertise in sourcing and executing high profile and complex real asset investments, including across the life science and data centre sectors.
With around €3.5 bn of net new money raised across its Infrastructure strategies in 2022 and €15 bn of assets under management, AXA IM Alts’ infrastructure platform remains a high conviction segment for 2023, with the business continuing to focus on launching and developing agile and attractive products that suit dynamic investment environments.
