AXA IM Alts has made senior appointments to head two key regions.
Laurent Jacquemin, current head of Asia Pacific, has been appointed head of North America. He will succeed Steve McCarthy, who has decided to retire at the end of the year after almost 13 years with AXA IM Alts, following a distinguished career spanning more than 35 years in real estate investment management.
Jacquemin brings more than 25 years of real estate industry experience, having joined AXA IM Alts in 2001. Since 2018, he has been responsible for the significant growth and diversification of AXA IM Alts’ Asia Pacific real estate operations, including an increase in assets under management in the region to more than $8 billion. In his new role, Laurent will be based in New York and lead a 60-strong team managing $22 billion of real estate assets with responsibility for overseeing both equity and debt investment strategies and further expanding AXA IM Alts’ real estate footprint in the region.
