Dividends
The AXA Group seeks to share the results of improved operational performance with its investors.
In addition, the management of AXA's investment portfolios make realized capital gains or losses on invested assets an important contributor to AXA's overall performance.
For these reasons, AXA's dividend policy is based on adjusted earnings (according to French GAAP) resulting in a dividend pay out between 40-50% of its adjusted earnings.
The dividend payment is ultimatly determined by the Supervisory Board, which reserves the right to adjust the dividend at each closing date.
