AXA IM Alts, the alternative investment arm of AXA Investment Managers, announced that it successfully raised over EUR 4 billion for its global commercial real estate (CRE) debt platform in 2024. This record-breaking capital raise underscores the firm’s position as the largest European CRE debt platform, with more than EUR 26 billion invested in the asset class. 
The substantial capital influx reflects heightened investor interest in real estate debt strategies, particularly amid a landscape of rising interest rates and the retreat of traditional banking institutions from certain lending markets. Investors are increasingly attracted to the attractive risk-adjusted returns that CRE debt investments can offer, especially in a higher-for-longer interest rate environment. 
In addition to the impressive fundraising, AXA IM Alts deployed approximately EUR 3 billion across 60 transactions within the same period. These investments spanned various geographies and sectors, highlighting the firm’s diversified approach and deep market expertise. 
AXA IM Alts’ CRE debt platform has been a pioneer in the European market since its inception over two decades ago. The firm’s extensive experience and established track record have been pivotal in attracting a broad base of global investors seeking exposure to real estate debt opportunities. 
The success of the 2024 capital raise aligns with AXA IM Alts’ strategic objective to expand its global footprint in the CRE debt sector. The firm continues to leverage its scale, experience, and market access to identify and capitalize on compelling investment opportunities, aiming to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns for its investors. 
As the CRE debt market evolves, AXA IM Alts remains committed to maintaining its leadership position by adapting to market dynamics and meeting the diverse needs of its investor base. The firm’s proactive approach and robust platform position it well to navigate the complexities of the global real estate debt landscape.
