At the conference, AMVESCAP will be announcing its intent to realign several businesses into two new divisions under its AIM and INVESCO brands. Mark H. Williamson will become chief executive officer of the AIM division, and John D. Rogers will become chief executive officer of the INVESCO division. The realignment will become effective on January 1, 2003. The AIM division will include the AIM Funds businesses in the United States and the AIM-Trimark business in Canada. Bob Graham, vice-chairman of AMVESCAP, will also become chairman of the AIM division. The INVESCO division will include INVESCO Funds Group, INVESCO Institutional, and INVESCO Global. Michael Benson, vice-chairman of AMVESCAP, will also become chairman of the INVESCO division. "This realignment is a natural evolution for our business," says Charles W. Brady, Executive Chairman. "By pulling together our like-branded businesses, we can simplify our company for clients and intermediaries, and gain additional marketing leverage and synergies for AIM and INVESCO." "Mark Williamson and John Rogers both have outstanding records of leadership in our business," added Mr. Brady. "I look forward to working closely with them as they grow the strength of our AIM and INVESCO brands." (more) As part of this process, the Managed Products, Institutional, and Global divisions will be dissolved. Additionally, the INVESCO Retirement division will be renamed AMVESCAP Retirement to reflect its mission of providing state-of-the-art recordkeeping and administrative services to the defined contribution marketplace, offering both AIM and INVESCO products as part of its investment choices.
