Building a critical mass

We aim to acquire high-quality assets that generate attractive current cash flows and offer prospects for long-term capital appreciation. It’s a proven strategy that has made us Europe’s number one asset manager.

Monitoring long-term structural drivers and shifts in consumer behaviour enables us to identify the high-conviction sectors. This includes multi-family and defensive property types with strong prospects for rental growth.

Our US team draws on the network, knowledge and experience of the entire AXA Group. With over 30 years in the business, we’re one of the top asset managers in the world.

Through our US CRE debt presence we are able to access more opportunities in the global CRE debt space, especially in the fixed-rate, long-term loans sector which was Quadrant’s main focus. This means we can be more selective when sourcing deals.

In late 2020, we completed an $875 million (€770 million) acquisition from Cabot Properties. The portfolio comprises 27 assets across eight of the 10 largest logistics markets in the US.

The Dermody deal gives us a string of industrial assets located in primary logistics hubs across 11 US industrial markets, including Inland Empire (Southern California), Northern California, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas and Chicago.

We launched our first US CLO in 2012 and we have since managed 14 US CLO’s from our offices in Greenwich, Connecticut. The team invests across the risk spectrum, including large corporate transaction, middle market, and leveraged loans.

Our US CLO team is made up of dedicated sector specialists, and with an average tenure of well over a decade they have experience of managing CLO’s over two credit cycles.
