Du Laurens is the latest in a string of senior figures to leave AXA IM – Real Assets, including Pierre Vaquier, global CEO; Anne Kavanagh, head of asset management and transactions; and Dennis Lopez, global CIO.

Du Laurens is rumoured to be joining a venture capital/private equity firm and his decision comes just weeks after he was promoted to the global position.

In May, AXA IM announced he would lead the division’s new client capital group, comprising investor relations professionals in Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He took responsibility for client relationship management and capital raising across AXA IMRA’s product range including equity and debt
investment vehicles.

News of his departure has not been made public by AXA due to sensitivities around the number of senior professionals who have left the organisation in the past 12 months.
