Harlin replaces Kutscher as board chairman immediately.

Buberl noted: “In his different roles, Andrea’s interpersonal skills as well as client-oriented mindset have been instrumental in significantly developing the Group’s business.

“More recently at AXA IM, he led a successful growth strategy and a major transformation to strengthen AXA IM’s position as an active, long term and responsible asset manager. I wish him many successes in his future endeavours.

“I would also like to thank Christof Kutscher for the wealth of insights and contributions he has brought to AXA IM as Chairman of the Board of Directors over the past years and I am happy AXA IM will continue to collaborate with Christof to benefit from his experience.”
