Capital Markets & Intermediation
Accessing the market, with method.
Accessing the market, with method.
The financial market is an instrument of economic power. But one still has to know how to enter it, how to hold one's position, and when to exit.
AXIS FINANCE was established to carry out, subject to the required licences, the full range of asset management and intermediation businesses: receipt, transmission and execution of orders, securities placement, custody and administration of securities, third-party portfolio management and investment advice.
Our approach rests on a simple principle that is rarely upheld: the client's interest comes before the interest of the transaction. We do not reward turnover. We reward relevance.
Target clients — financial institutions, insurance companies, retirement schemes and pension funds, corporate treasuries, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, public and semi-public institutions.

Four reasons to entrust us with your market mandate.
The client's interest comes before the interest of the transaction.
We are not paid on turnover. Advice that recommends not to trade is still paid advice — the guarantee that the recommendation is yours.
Access that does not stop at Conakry.
Our network of licensed correspondents and partners opens access to regional and international markets, without you having to multiply intermediaries.
Custody and management under a single compliance roof.
Securities account keeping, portfolio management and investment advice rely on the same KYC/AML-CFT framework — less friction for your control teams.
A team that models before it recommends.
Every allocation or portfolio construction is backed by clearly defined liability objectives, not by a product to be placed.
