Michael Ganske, who joined the €679 billion French manager AXA Investment Managers from Rogge Global Partners in May, tells FN why emerging markets are now back in favour after a tough few years and how he plans to capitalise on that.

Ganske, previously a partner and emerging markets head at Rogge, now oversees a team of 18 spread across London, Paris, Mexico and Hong Kong, and around $9 billion in fixed income funds across three flagship mutual funds - a global emerging markets fund, a short-duration fund and an Asian short-duration fund - as well as several segregated mandates.
