Reuters - AXA Talks to Sell PE Arm Continue

Following a 1.3 percent rise in nine-month revenues, AXA chief financial officer Gerald Harlin said the company remained "absolutely positive" on its ability to meet the goals of its strategic plan announced last year, writes Reuters. Asked about the company's plan to sell or spin off its private equity arm - announced roughly a year ago - Harlin said the process was "continuing normally" though he noted that French government plans to boost taxes on the industry would be "an additional factor" in the talks, writes Reuters.
