Axa Private Equity, a unit of French insurance company AXA SA (CS.FR), has raised $7.1 billion from outside investors, double the amount originally expected, for so-called "secondaries" deals whereby it would buy stakes in buyout funds from investors looking to cash out of positions, the Financial Times reported on its website Sunday.
