INVESCO ANNOUNCES ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGES

Harris Named CEO of INVESCO North America
Ridley to Head INVESCO Alternatives Group
Cox to Head North American Distribution

Atlanta, GA--August 21, 2003--John Rogers, chief executive officer of the
INVESCO division of AMVESCAP PLC, today announced several internal
organizational changes, effective today. Hubert L. (Herky) Harris, Jr. becomes
chief executive officer of INVESCO North America, which includes investment
product groups based in Atlanta, Denver, Louisville, and New York. He will
report to John Rogers who previously had that role as well as his current role.

Additionally, INVESCO Alternatives Group, a new business unit of INVESCO, will
be formed by joining two of INVESCO North America's current groups, INVESCO
Private Capital and INVESCO Realty Advisors. David Ridley, currently head of
INVESCO Realty Advisors, also becomes CEO of INVESCO Alternatives Group,
reporting to John Rogers.

"I'm pleased that Herky Harris is joining the senior management team at INVESCO.
We will all benefit from his managerial skills and the broad knowledge of
AMVESCAP he brings to INVESCO," said John Rogers. "Under the leadership of David
Ridley, the INVESCO Alternatives Group is poised to bring an enhanced focus on
these key global products that are important to the growth of INVESCO," Rogers
added.

Harris remains as chairman of AMVESCAP Retirement while Robert J. O'Connor,
currently president and chief operating officer, becomes chief executive
officer.

Other INVESCO divisions, INVESCO UK, INVESCO Continental Europe, and INVESCO
Asia/Pacific, remain unchanged.

Furthermore, Tony Cox becomes head of INVESCO's North American distribution
business. He will have responsibility for all sales, marketing and relationship

Group, replaces Frank Keeler who has announced his intent to retire from INVESCO
at the end of 2003.



"I want to personally thank Frank Keeler for his many years of service to
INVESCO and AMVESCAP," said Rogers. "Tony Cox has the right set of management
skills and industry knowledge to continue our strong distribution efforts."
