Axium reported $9.3 billion in regulatory assets across 23 accounts in a Form ADV filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026. Axium president Thierry Vandal said the investment adds housing capacity and strengthens the firm's US social infrastructure portfolio, and named the Edgemoor/Sunflower team as its partner. In October, Axium was part of the group that bought five Alberta care communities from the Brenda Strafford Foundation, as Private Wealth Daily previously reported.
