Our company

The "balance of partnership" is the foundation of successful cooperation for us.

Flexibility, client proximity, competence and independence aren't mere advertising clichés to us – they are the very core of our corporate thinking. They are the reason the Axxion founders chose to develop an investment company that was independent of banks.

As an owner-led company, we ensure that our decision-makers and representative are there for our clients for the long haul. The problems typical of large corporations are simply not an issue at Axxion: Axxion clients have no need to worry about mergers, restructuring or lengthy decision-making paths.

There is no client ranking at Axxion. When we agree on a partnership with a client, we focus our full attention on the fund project – irrespective of whether it is particularly innovative or a traditional project. Our business focus is solely on funds – private label funds!
