Axa Strategic Ventures rebrands to Axa Venture Partners

The firm is backed by global asset manager Axa and specialises in seed, venture and growth-stage transactions.

A rebrand reflects its approach of establishing partnerships with its portfolio companies and other VC investors, the firm said. It also seeks to illustrate its strategy of a long-term investment timeline and investment range from seed investment to growth equity, covering ticket sizes from $300,000 to $20m.

Axa Venture Partners prefers to invest in companies operating in the insurance, asset management, financial technology and healthcare service sectors. The firm's assets under management total $450m.

Since its launch in 2016, the firm has completed 32 deals. It operates five offices, in San Francisco, New York, London, Paris and Hong Kong. A team of 12 investment professionals manages two strategies: direct investment ($275m) and fund-of-funds ($175m). Axa Venture Partners held a first and final close for its $175m ASV Diversified fund-of-funds in November 2017, according to Unquote Data.
