Axe Capital is a hedge fund owned by the billionaire Bobby Axelrod.
In Season 5, the company is now turned to Axe holding company, Axe asset management, Axe Bank and it owns Taylor Mason Capital.
By the end of Season 5, Michael Prince takes over the company, buying out Axe in a deal that would allow Bobby Axelrod to evade his legal woes. It becomes known as Michael Prince Capital or MPC.
By the end of Season 7, Bobby Axelrod regains ownership of Axe Capital (now going by the name, Michael Prince Capital) in light of Michael Prince's financial woes. It is turned into the new headquarters of Axe Global.
History[]
Axe Capital originally was branded under the name Wachtel, Rachlein and Rice with Bobby Axelrod as a partner. During the events of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, Axe was not in office because he was meeting with his attorneys to finalize the terms of him being laid off due to suspicious trading behaviour. Ultimately, the partners Warchtel, Rachlein and Rice were all killed when the South Tower collapsed.
While the events transpired, Axe called his broker outside of the World Trade Center area to have him short aviation, hotel and shipping stocks making hundreds of millions of dollars. With the money made and the deaths of his partners, Axe took over the firm and rebranded it as Axe Capital
Location[]
At one point Axe Capital was located in Westport, Connecticut, but was relocated later to Manhattan, New York.
