What Invesco does

Invesco Ltd. is an independent, publicly traded global asset management firm (NYSE: IVZ), founded in 1935 and headquartered in Atlanta, with Bermuda incorporation as the parent holding company. The firm manages $2.2 trillion in assets under management as of March 2026 across institutional and retail channels in 120+ countries, distributed through financial advisors, broker-dealers, RIAs, wirehouses, bank trust departments, and dedicated institutional sales teams. Its core products span a broad suite of ETFs, mutual funds, closed-end funds, fixed income, factor and thematic strategies, and increasingly tokenized/digital asset products.

Invesco's flagship product is the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), a Nasdaq-100 tracking ETF with $481 billion in AUM that is the world's second-most traded ETF, complemented by the lower-cost QQQM ($99B+ market cap) — together representing over $570 billion in AUM. The firm operates an extensive library of sector ETFs (semiconductors, aerospace & defense, pharmaceuticals, banking, healthcare), factor ETFs (equal-weight S&P 500, quality, momentum, multi-factor), thematic ETFs (AI/next-gen software, technology momentum, robotics, solar), and fixed-income ETFs (BulletShares target-maturity series, municipal bonds, variable rate). Technology infrastructure includes proprietary synthetic (swap-based) index replication, with the European extension Invesco Markets V ICAV administered via Northern Trust, and a new tokenized government money market fund (Invesco Stablecoin Reserves Onchain Fund) issuing ERC-20 tokens on public blockchain infrastructure via Superstate's FundOS platform.

The business model is asset-management-fee based, with revenue generated primarily through expense ratios and advisory fees on AUM. Q1 2026 delivered 14% year-over-year net revenue growth and 19.1% operating margin, with 11 consecutive quarters of positive organic growth. Subsidiary structure spans North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East, including Invesco Management S.A. (Luxembourg), Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Advisers Inc., and Invesco Asset Management Limited DIFC Branch. The company has a track record of bolt-on M&A (OppenheimerFunds in 2018, Source ETF in 2017, Jemstep in 2016, Asia Dragon in 2025) and is now expanding into private markets under a dedicated Global Head.

• Northern TrustcoreTechnology or IntegrationNorthern Trust has been appointed to provide administration, custody, and depositary services for Invesco's new Irish-domiciled index tracking mutual fund range, Invesco Markets V ICAV. The mandate extends Northern Trust's existing relationship with Invesco, building on its support for Invesco's synthetic ETF platform and digital assets platform. The new fund range extends Invesco's swap-based synthetic index replication approach from ETFs to mutual fund investors in Europe through investment platforms and institutional channels.
• SpaceXminorOthersSpaceX was added to the Nasdaq-100 index on July 7, 2026, triggering mandatory rebalancing by ETFs tracking the index. Invesco's QQQ and QQQM funds must purchase SpaceX shares, estimated at approximately $4.3 billion in forced buying according to J.P. Morgan. SpaceX will carry approximately 1% weight in the index due to its small free float (3-5% publicly traded).
