Axa's private equity unit acquired a package of private equity interests from Barclays Bank. This is the second time AXA Private Equity acquires fund stakes this month; in the beginning of June a fund stake worth USD 1.7bn was acquired from New York based Citigroup. Barclays mentioned that the purchase price exceeded the book value allowing them to make a small profit. This deal is a result of stricter regulations in the banking sector.
