Axioma expands Asia footprint

Axioma, a provider of risk management and portfolio construction solutions to financial institutions, has launched a Japan office with Kiichi Takai as senior consultant for its multi-asset class risk division.

Axioma says the launch meets increasing demand from clients across Asia for innovative risk management tools to construct and analyse their investment strategies. The new office will also support domestic institutional clients with equity portfolio construction solutions in the wake of recent market volatility and regulatory reform in the region.
