AXA Wealth has increased the range of available investment funds

All sterling share classes are hedged against the Euro, meaning that investors are not exposed to changes in the Sterling/Euro exchange rate.

David Thompson, managing director, Elevate, said:

 "The open architecture nature of the Elevate platform and an agnostic approach to where advisers and their clients choose to invest is at the heart of the AXA Wealth proposition.

By extending the range of funds on the Elevate platform, we are able to ensure that advisers and clients have access to a wide variety of investment choices giving them greater flexibility and choice.

The addition of the Carmignac Gestion range increases the breadth of investment options in equities, bonds, diversified and multi-asset investment solutions."

Eric Helderlé, managing director, Carmignac Gestion, commented:

 "Today's announcement is an important step in Carmignac's expansion in the UK market. Following the opening of our London office last year, we have seen important demand for our high conviction investment approach from UK investors. Distributing funds via AXA Wealth's Elevate platform will help us meet that demand by making our global and diversified investment solutions more widely available."
