A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE | ||
Chair of Our Board | ||
G. Richard Wagoner, Jr. has served as Chair of our Board since 2019 and as a non-executive director of our company since 2013 |
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
The Invesco Ltd. Board of Directors recognizes the trust you place in us as stewards of your investment in the company.
Over the course of 2024, your board has worked closely with Invesco’s talented leadership team and is pleased with the meaningful steps taken to further refine and focus the firm’s strategy, deliver sustained organic growth, drive significant organizational simplification, and provide a positive work environment for its employees. The company continued to improve and strengthen its operating results, capital management, client outcomes, and employee experience.
Looking to 2025, we remain confident in the company’s direction and leadership team and look forward to continued progress as Invesco continues to execute our strategy, against a backdrop of significant industry change and evolution.
On behalf of the Invesco Board of Directors, thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
| |
G. Richard Wagoner, Jr. Chair | ||
ii Invesco Ltd.
A LETTER TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE | ||
President and CEO | ||
Andrew Schlossberg has been President and Chief Executive Officer of our company and a director since 2023 |
| |
Dear Fellow Shareholder, | ||
Against the backdrop of volatile markets, mixed economic signals, and geopolitical risks in 2024, I am proud of the progress we made executing against our strategy to drive profitable organic growth and deliver value for our shareholders, clients, and employees. | ||
We refocused our efforts to better align to our strategy and address areas of opportunity including growing in Private Markets, delivering active equity performance, and continuing to strengthen our financial flexibility. Over the course of the year we began to see momentum in our operating results. | ||
Our competitive strengths are clear. We have a robust range of public and private active investment strategies and an at-scale ETF platform that enable us to continuously innovate while meeting diverse client needs. We have a global footprint with significant presence in key growth markets, like our unique Asia Pacific profile. Finally, we have leading distribution capabilities with a particular strength in US wealth management, the world’s largest asset channel, where we are known to provide advisor support and education. | ||
Capitalizing on our strengths and making progress in areas of strategic focus | ||
Global footprint | ||
Geographically, our net long-term flows remained positive across all three of our regions, with a notable pick-up through the second half of the year in both Asia Pacific and EMEA. Specifically, in the Asia Pacific region we generated 12.3% organic net long-term flow growth, marking our best year since 2021. One of the unique advantages of our global scale is our ability to bring in-demand investment strategies and deliver them to multiple markets around the world. For example, our Global Equity & Income strategy, managed out of the UK, had $5.1 billion in net long-term inflows in 2024 and continues to be one of the top selling active retail funds in the growing Japanese market.
|
2025 Proxy Statement iii |
In 2024, our continued strategic focus and disciplined financial management increased our adjusted operating income to $1.4 billion.
1. Represents or includes non-GAAP financial measures. See the information in Appendix A regarding non-GAAP financial measures. |
Public active strategies Fixed Income and Individual Investor Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs). We continued to grow high demand strategic capabilities including Fundamental Fixed Income and our highly scalable SMA product ranges.
Our Fundamental Fixed Income platform has strong investment performance and is well positioned to meet clients’ needs across the credit and duration spectrum, geographic preferences, active and passive exposures, and public and private markets. We have plenty of reasons to be optimistic about our ability to capture flows as money increasingly rotates into these asset classes.
The market for SMAs is being fueled by strong client demand for a more customizable, tax-efficient investment vehicle. With continued high expectations for growth in the SMA market in the US, we are focused on increasing market share in this segment. We have the scalable capabilities to do so and grew the platform to more than $28 billion in 2024.
Active Fundamental Equities. Throughout 2024, we remained highly focused on retaining and selectively growing our fundamental equity investment strategies, against a backdrop of outflows in the industry and for Invesco. In fact, we are seeing net inflows in select areas such as US small-cap, global small-cap and certain global equities. Our teams continue to focus on driving high quality alpha, adding to our talent bench, and strengthening our risk management tools. Regardless of client demand, our focus remains on improving investment performance and gaining market share in these key categories.
Private Markets Our established expertise in Real Estate and Private Credit have driven net long-term inflows to our Private Markets platform. Within the category, our private credit capabilities recorded net long-term inflows of $6.8 billion, a 15.6% organic growth rate, largely driven by Bank Loans and CLOs across several fund structures, including our industry leading senior loan ETF. In Real Estate, we continued to see flows into our real estate debt strategy targeting the wealth management channel. Launched in 2023, the strategy doubled in size in 2024 to $2.4 billion in AUM. Our Real Estate team is also well positioned with ample dry powder to capitalize on emerging opportunities.
Record year for Invesco’s Global ETFs and Index Platform Our ETFs and Index capabilities continued to thrive in 2024, punching above our weight with $71.3 billion of long-term net inflows. We continued our focus on innovation, global reach, and expanding our long-established active ETF offerings. Both strong organic growth and our differentiated products showcased the benefits of our scale and experience within this growing delivery vehicle.
Expense discipline Our continued expense discipline, including achieving committed expense reductions, allowed us to deliver a 31% adjusted operating margin,1 and helped deliver operating leverage in 2024.
Improved operating results and performance drivers In 2024, our continued strategic focus and disciplined financial management increased our adjusted operating income1 to $1.4 billion. We sustained organic growth in high-demand areas, achieving a 5% net long-term flow growth rate overall. The diversity of our assets and flows across geography, channel, and investment style provide a balance to market conditions and an ability to meet a range of client needs, which is an important part of our ongoing growth.
Additionally, after commencing a more consistent share buyback program in the second half of the year, we increased the return of earnings to common shareholders through buybacks and dividends to 54% for the year. We also reduced our total debt to its lowest level in ten years.
|
iv Invesco Ltd.
Our people are the driving force that helps our clients achieve their investment goals |
Our successes in 2024 give us conviction in our focused strategic priorities, execution mindset, and our ability to continue to deliver enhanced and consistent operating performance and returns for our shareholders.
Our people will take us forward
Investment management is an industry built on talent, and I’m keenly aware it’s our people who drive our results. My travels in 2024 to spend time with colleagues and clients solidified my conviction in the strength of our platform. From Tokyo to Hyderabad, Hong Kong to Houston, I was impressed with the work being done to strengthen our ability to anticipate, understand, and meet evolving client needs.
I believe we are well positioned for greater demand and improved profitability, which will be enhanced as market sentiment improves and client confidence strengthens.
I want to thank my colleagues around the world for their focus and teamwork throughout the year. I’m proud of the people of Invesco, and I’m excited to build on the success of this past year to further execute our strategy and deliver value for our clients, shareholders and employees.
Sincerely,
Andrew Schlossberg President and CEO, Invesco

Proxy Statement Summary |
Industry update and company performance
Global capital markets experienced uneven growth in 2024, with an outsized emphasis on a small number of US-listed mega cap technology stocks and tempered by geopolitical events, all of which continued to drive volatility. As anticipated, the long-term secular trend of investor preference for passive capabilities, largely at the expense of higher fee actively managed strategies continued in 2024. Significant amounts of cash remained on the sidelines throughout the year, as investors reacted to the impact of persistently high interest rates and inflation in most major economies during the first part of the year. In the final months of 2024, cash remained on the sidelines given continued uncertainty on the future direction of interest rates and inflation. Despite these industry headwinds, Invesco’s broad diversification across investment capabilities, distribution channels and geographies enabled the company to take advantage of growth opportunities, and our diversified product lineup drove net long-term inflows, differentiating Invesco from many industry peers. We remain focused on our capital priorities, which include investing in our key growth capabilities, maintaining balance sheet strength and a strong liquidity profile, and returning capital to shareholders. As always, we are engaging with our clients to meet their most pressing needs in this dynamic economic and industry climate, and we are confident that our diversified platform of investment capabilities is positioned to capitalize on future industry growth.

2024 Firm highlights1
| |||
![]() |
Business
• ETFs and Index Strategies brought in $71.3 billion of net long-term inflows, a 17% organic growth rate, as we continue to increase scale in this area of high client demand. Our differentiated ETF line-up includes a focus on higher-value, higher fee market segments like smart beta.
• Fundamental Fixed Income delivered $7.8 billion of net long-term inflows in 2024, as 3% organic growth overcame headwinds associated with uncertainty on interest rates. We continue to see steady ongoing growth in this area, reporting positive inflows for the sixth consecutive year.
• Private Markets drove $4.1 billion of net long-term inflows in 2024, as record inflows in our bank loan ETF coupled with strong demand for CLOs offset a slower real estate market. We are gaining traction across our global private markets business, with continued adoption of INCREF on US Wealth platforms, successful fund raising for priority closed-ended strategies in EMEA and corporate debt and bank loan funds in APAC.
• Organic growth was strong across distribution channels, with the retail and institutional channels contributing $60.0 billion and $5.1 billion in net long-term inflows, respectively, both higher versus prior year.
• Growth was also well diversified by geography, with the Asia Pacific, Americas, and EMEA regions all delivering net long-term inflows of $26.1 billion, $21.8 billion, and $17.2 billion respectively for the year.
• Invesco’s well-established position in China enabled the firm to overcome continued weak sentiment and market volatility in the country, with our China joint venture, Invesco Great Wall, delivering $10.4 billion of the firm’s net long-term inflows for the Asia Pacific Region. Japan drove $10.7 billion in net-long term inflows, supported by continued success distributing our global equity and income fund in the country, maintaining the fund as one of the top selling active retail mutual funds in Japan for 2024. India booked $2.8 billion in net long-term inflows, setting a strong foundation for continued growth as the company moves towards transitioning the firm’s India business to the joint venture structure announced in 2024.
• Lower client demand for active equities industry-wide pressured net flows in Fundamental Equities, particularly in the global equities and emerging market segments where client demand remains weak, contributing to $24.2 billion in net long-term outflows. Investment Performance strengthened, with 71% of AUM ranking in the 1st or 2nd quartile versus peers on a 1-Yr basis and 64% on a 3-Yr basis.
• Leadership continued to drive organizational simplification to better position the company for greater scale, stronger performance, and improved profitability. In 2024, these efforts included the establishment of a Global Product organization, a more focused Global Technology and Operations organization, and a re-aligned go-to-market model for Private Markets. We also streamlined global execution across our integrated fixed income

Operating results
• Invesco’s net long-term flows performance continued to outperform most asset manager peers in 2024. The firm delivered a long-term organic growth rate of 5%, representing $65.1 billion in net long-term inflows, while many industry peers experienced net long-term outflows. Sustained organic growth in key capability areas such as ETFs and Index, APAC Managed, Fundamental Fixed Income, and Private Markets enabled this result. We ended the year with more than $1.8 trillion in assets under management, driven by market gains augmented by net long-term inflows.
• Net revenues1 of $4,400 million were 2% higher than 2023, driven by strong organic growth and market performance. This increase was tempered by the continuation of an industry-wide client-driven mix shift toward products that have lower net revenue yields, the more temporary preference of many investors for risk-off strategies given the uncertain interest rate and inflation outlook, and tepid demand for global and emerging markets equities. Our ability to capture flows in our passive capabilities mitigated the decrease in revenue relative to that experienced by many peers with less diversified capabilities.
• These revenue dynamics and continued management focus on disciplined expense management drove improvements in adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted diluted EPS, while we continue to invest in areas of future growth and foundational technology projects that will benefit future scale. See page 49 for details on these metrics. | |||
![]() |
Balance sheet
• We maintained a strong balance sheet following the redemption of $600 million in senior notes in January 2024, which brought total debt to the lowest level in ten years.
• Liquidity remains strong with Cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion at the end of the year. After considering debt, net cash2 was $96 million at the end of the year. | |||

Vote required
This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at the Annual General Meeting
|
• Each nominee has indicated to the company that he or she would serve if elected. We do not anticipate that any director nominee will be unable to stand for election, but if that were to happen, the Board may reduce the size of the Board, designate a substitute or leave a vacancy unfilled. If a substitute is designated, proxies voting on the original director nominee will be cast for the substituted candidate.

• If a nominee for director who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has been elected at the meeting, the director is required under our Bye-Laws to submit his or her resignation as a director. Our nomination and corporate governance committee would then make a recommendation to the full Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation. | ||
• If the resignation is not accepted by the Board, the director will continue to serve until the next annual general meeting and until his or her successor is duly elected, or his or her earlier resignation or removal. | ||

Director compensation
The compensation committee annually reviews and determines the compensation paid to non-executive directors. No executive officer of the company is involved in recommending or determining levels of non-executive director compensation. Mr. Schlossberg does not receive compensation for his service as a director. The committee considers, among other things, the following policies and principles in determining non-executive director compensation:
• | that compensation should fairly pay the non-executive directors for the work, time commitment and efforts required by directors of an organization of the company’s size and scope of business activities, including service on Board committees; |
• | that a component of the compensation should be designed to align the non-executive directors’ interests with the long-term interests of the company’s shareholders; and |
• | that non-executive directors’ independence may be compromised or impaired if director compensation exceeds customary levels. |
As a part of its annual review, the committee engaged Johnson Associates, Inc. (“Johnson Associates”), the committee’s independent compensation consultant, to report on comparable non-executive director compensation practices and levels. Their report included a review of director compensation at the same peer companies the committee considers for executive compensation practices. See page 66 for a list of our 2024 peers.
For 2024, the compensation committee approved the below-described levels of non-executive director compensation. Each component other than the equity award is paid in quarterly installments in arrears:
Basic cash fee |
Non-executive directors received an annual basic fee paid in cash in the amount of $120,000 | |||
Chair fee |
The Chair of the Board received an additional annual cash fee of $230,000 | |||
Audit Committee Chair fee |

Compensation Committee and Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee Chair fee | The Chair of the compensation committee and the Chair of the nomination and corporate governance committee each received an additional annual cash fee of $20,000 | |||

Non-executive directors also received an annual award of shares in the aggregate amount of $195,000. Equity awards are paid for service in advance and subject to a one-year vesting requirement |

Stock ownership policy for non-executive directors — Our non-executive directors are subject to the Non-Executive Director Stock Ownership Policy. Commencing in 2022, the policy requires each non-executive director to (i) achieve and thereafter maintain an ownership level that is equal to four times the value of the basic cash fee and (ii) meet the policy requirement within five years of the later of the effective date of the policy or first appointment as a non-executive director. Until such ownership level is achieved, each non-executive director is required to (i) continue to hold 100% of the shares received as compensation prior to the effective date, and (ii) retain at least fifty percent (50%) of shares granted as compensation after the effective date. The following table shows the status of each of our non-executive directors meeting the requirements of the policy as of December 31, 2024 based on the closing price of our common shares on the NYSE on that date, which was $17.48.

Corporate governance guidelines
Our Board is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance and is guided by our Corporate Governance Guidelines (“Guidelines”), which provide a framework for the governance of our company and the responsibilities of our Board. The Guidelines are available in the corporate governance section of the Company Website. The Guidelines set forth the practices the Board follows with respect to, among other matters, the composition of the Board, director responsibilities, Board committees, director access to officers, employees and independent advisors, director compensation and performance evaluation of the Board.
Code of conduct and directors’ code of conduct
As part of our ethics and compliance program, our Board has approved a code of ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and persons performing similar functions, as well as to our other officers and employees. The Code of Conduct is posted on the Company Website. In addition, we have adopted a separate Directors’ Code of Conduct that applies to all members of the Board. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement regarding any amendment to, or a waiver of, a provision of the Code of Conduct for our directors and executive officers by posting such information on the Company Website. The company maintains a compliance reporting line, where employees and individuals outside the company can anonymously submit a complaint or concern regarding compliance with applicable laws, rules or regulations, the Code of Conduct, as well as accounting, auditing, ethical or other concerns.
Board leadership structure
As described in the Guidelines, the company’s business is conducted day-to-day by its officers, managers and employees, under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer and the oversight of the Board, to serve the interest of our clients and enhance the long-term value of the company for its shareholders. The Board is elected by the shareholders to oversee our management team and to seek to assure that the long-term interests of the shareholders are being served. In light of these differences in the fundamental roles of the Board and management, the company has chosen to separate the Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair positions. The Board believes separation of these roles: (i) allows the Board to more effectively monitor and evaluate objectively the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, such that the Chief Executive Officer is more likely to be held accountable for his performance; (ii) allows the non-executive Chair to control the Board’s agenda and information flow; and (iii) creates an atmosphere in which other directors are more likely to challenge the Chief Executive Officer and other members of our senior management team. For these reasons, the company believes that this Board leadership structure is currently the most appropriate structure for the company. Nevertheless, the Board may reassess the appropriateness of the existing structure at any time, including following changes in Board composition, in management or in the character of the company’s business and operations.
Director recruitment
The nomination and corporate governance committee continues to focus on Board refreshment to align the Board’s composition with our long-term strategy and effect meaningful Board succession planning. New directors are identified using the following process:
![]() |
The committee reviews and updates its criteria for prospective directors based on succession planning for directors, to add experience in certain areas and to address new or evolving needs of the company. The committee then utilizes recommendations from directors and independent search firms to determine the candidates for consideration. |
22 Invesco Ltd.
![]() |
Candidates meet with the committee members, the Board Chair, the other directors and the CEO who assess candidates based on several factors, including whether the candidate has experience that will assist the company in seeking to meet its long-term strategic objectives and will bring diversity of thought and the desired qualifications to our Board. The Board has adopted a Board-level diversity policy that recognizes that it benefits from the contribution of different perspectives, experiences and characteristics which promote strong corporate governance and contribute to a more effective decision-making process.
Due diligence is conducted, including soliciting feedback on potential candidates from persons outside the company. Qualified candidates are presented to the Board of Directors. | |||
Two new independent directors were added in 2023 that contribute the following experience and traits to our Board:
| ||||
• Public company executive |
• Accounting and financial reporting | |||
• Executive strategy and execution |
• Technology | |||
• Industry experience |
• Marketing and client focus | |||
• International experience |
• Regulatory - government and legal | |||
|
The nomination and corporate governance committee believes there are certain minimum qualifications that each director nominee must satisfy in order to be suitable for a position on the Board, including that such nominee:
• | be an individual of the highest integrity and have an inquiring mind, a willingness to ask hard questions and the ability to work well with others; |
• | be free of any conflict of interest that would violate any applicable law or regulation or interfere with the proper performance of the responsibilities of a director; |
• | be willing and able to devote sufficient time to the affairs of the company and be diligent in fulfilling the responsibilities of a director; and |
• | have the capacity and desire to represent the best interests of the shareholders as a whole. |
The committee will consider candidates recommended for nomination to the Board by shareholders of the company. Shareholders may nominate candidates for election to the Board under Bermuda law and our Bye-Laws. The manner in which the committee evaluates candidates recommended by shareholders would be generally the same as any other candidate. However, the committee would also seek and consider information concerning any relationship between a shareholder recommending a candidate and the candidate to determine if the candidate can represent the interests of all of our shareholders. For further information regarding deadlines for shareholder proposals, see Important additional information — Shareholder proposals for the 2026 annual general meeting on page 91.
Director orientation and continuing education and development
When a new independent director joins the Board, we provide an orientation program for the purpose of providing the new director with an understanding of the strategy and operations of the company. To assist the directors in understanding the company and its industry and maintaining the level of expertise required for our directors, the company‘s management team makes presentations during Board meetings relating to the competitive and industry environment and the company’s goals and strategies. In addition, at most meetings the Board receives presentations on various topics related to key industry trends, topical business issues and governance.
Each director is encouraged to participate in continuing education programs for public company directors sponsored by nationally recognized educational organizations not affiliated with the company. We provide our directors with suggested educational courses on topics such as emerging governance issues, compliance and ethics matters and financial risk oversight. To facilitate the ongoing education of our directors, the cost of all such continuing education is paid for by the company.
2025 Proxy Statement 23 |
Board evaluation process
The effectiveness of the Board and its committees is critical to the company’s success and to the protection of our shareholders’ long-term interests. To maintain their effectiveness, the Board and each standing committee annually conduct comprehensive assessments to identify areas for improvements.
![]() |
The Board engages an independent external advisor to coordinate the Board’s self-assessment by its members. The advisor has each director review a questionnaire and then performs one-on-one confidential interviews with directors. In addition to the questionnaires and interviews of each director, interviews are also conducted with those members of executive management who attend Board meetings on a regular basis.
The advisor prepares and presents an in-person report to the Board, which discusses the findings of the advisor based upon its reviews.
The Board then discusses the evaluation to determine what action, if any, could further enhance the operations of the Board and its committees. |
Shareholder engagement
Why we engage
One of our key priorities is ensuring robust outreach and engagement with our shareholders in order to:
• | Provide transparency into our business, governance practices and compensation programs |
• | Determine which issues are important to our shareholders and share our views on those issues |
• | Identify emerging trends or issues that may impact our business and influence our practices |
How we engage
![]() |
Investor relations and senior management We provide institutional investors with many opportunities to provide feedback to senior management by participating in conferences, one-on-one and group meetings throughout the year. We also routinely interact and communicate with shareholders through quarterly earnings presentations, SEC filings (including our annual report on Form 10-K), the Proxy Statement and the annual meeting of shareholders. | |
![]() |
Shareholders | |
As investment professionals, we understand the value of engaging with companies and seek to maintain an active and open dialogue with our shareholders. We integrate aspects of the feedback we receive from our shareholders and share this feedback with our directors as we seek to enhance our corporate governance and executive compensation practices.
In addition to our year-round shareholder engagement, for many years we have also conducted a targeted shareholder and proxy advisory outreach in the Fall of each year. In 2024, we reached out to or engaged with our top shareholders, representing approximately 71%1 of our outstanding common stock. That percentage includes our significant shareholder, MassMutual, which holds approximately 18% of our common stock and engaged directly with management in 2024 with a representative on the company’s Board of Directors. Three of our shareholders, representing approximately 16%1 of our outstanding common stock, requested and held meetings with our investor relations, corporate governance, executive compensation and ESG teams. Our directors have also engaged directly with shareholders in prior years. See Shareholder and proxy advisory outreach and feedback for more information on this outreach and related findings. | ||

Board’s role in risk oversight
The Board has oversight responsibility for the company’s enterprise risk management program and processes. This includes oversight over the management of material risks with respect to the company’s business, including, without limitation, business strategy, governance, financial, investment, operational, technology, cyber risk, regulatory compliance, human capital management, environmental and social risks. Though Board committees address specific risks and risk processes within their purview, the Board maintains overall responsibility for oversight of all material risks as full Board engagement supports appropriate consideration of risk in strategy setting and a more holistic understanding of risk across the enterprise.
Invesco is committed to continually strengthening and evolving our risk management activities to ensure they keep pace with business change and client expectations. We believe a key factor in our ability to manage through challenging market conditions and significant business change is our integrated and global approach to risk management. Risk management is embedded in our day-to-day decision-making as well as our strategic planning process while our global risk management framework enables consistent and meaningful risk dialogue up, down and across the company. Our framework leverages two governance structures: (i) our Global Investment Risk and Performance Committee oversees the management of core investment risks and (ii) our Enterprise Risk Management Committee oversees the management of all other business and strategy related risks. A network of regional, business unit and specific risk management committees, with oversight of the Enterprise Risk Management Committee, provides ongoing identification, assessment, management and monitoring of risk that ensures both broad as well as in-depth, multi-layered coverage of the risks existing and emerging in the various domains of our business.
The Board reviews and discusses with executive and senior management risk management information and reporting provided, at least quarterly, by the Global Performance and Risk Committee and the Enterprise Risk Management Committee. The Board also reviews the company’s risk appetite. By receiving these reports, the Board maintains a practical understanding of the company’s risk management processes, overall risk profile and risk culture. In addition, Board and committee agenda business-related topics include discussion of the risks in our ongoing business as well as those introduced by new business developments. Through this regular and consistent risk communication and dialogue, the Board seeks to maintain reasonable assurance that all material risks of the company are being addressed and that the company is fostering a risk-aware culture in which effective risk management is embedded in the business.
Oversight of financial reporting and compliance related risk: The audit committee routinely receives reports from the control functions of finance, legal, compliance and internal audit. The Chief Risk and Audit Officer reports to the Chair of the audit committee. The audit committee oversees the internal audit function’s planning and resource allocation in a manner designed to ensure testing of controls and other internal audit activities are appropriately prioritized in a risk-based manner. The audit committee also seeks to assure that appropriate risk-based inputs from management and internal audit are communicated to the company’s independent public auditors.

Oversight of cybersecurity risk: Our Board of Directors oversees cybersecurity risk and receives updates, at a minimum, twice a year regarding cybersecurity, including risks and protections. The Global Operational Risk Management Committee, one of the company’s risk management committees, provides executive-level oversight and monitoring of the end-to-end programs dedicated to managing information security and cyber related risk. The members of the committee include the Chief Information and Operations Officer, Chief Risk and Audit Officer, General Counsel, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer, Global Head of Compliance, and Global Operational Risk Owners which includes the Global Chief Security Officer (GCSO). The Committee reports to the Enterprise Risk Management Committee which provides updates to the Board to facilitate their oversight. One company subsidiary operates on a distinct network as described in more detail below in Cybersecurity. For that subsidiary, an Enterprise Risk Management Steering Committee provides executive-level oversight and monitoring of its programs that manage information security and cyber related risk. The members of this Enterprise Risk Management Steering Committee include the subsidiary’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Head of Risk, Head of Legal, Head of Privacy and the subsidiary’s CISO, as well as Invesco’s GCSO and CISO. The subsidiary’s CISO provides updates to the Board to facilitate its oversight at least annually.
Cybersecurity
Cyber threats are considered one of the most significant risks facing financial institutions. To mitigate that risk, we have a designated Global Chief Security Officer (GCSO) who leads our Global Security Department that is responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing cybersecurity threats. Our GCSO has experience in the public and private sectors, specializing in security, investigations, and incident response. The Global Security Department oversees, among others, the following groups across Invesco: Information Security, Strategic Intelligence, Corporate Security, Business Continuity, Crisis Management, Global Privacy Office, Business Security, Projects and Strategy. This structure has supported a more comprehensive, holistic approach to keeping Invesco clients, employees, and critical assets safe, upholding their privacy rights, while enabling a secure and resilient business.
Our information security program for the company, excluding the subsidiary described below, is led by our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) who reports directly to the GCSO and has extensive experience in information security and risk management. Our information security program comprehensively manages all aspects of information security risk. It ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information assets by implementing controls aligned with industry standards and applicable laws. This program is designed to identify threats, detect attacks, and protect our information assets effectively.
As noted above, one company subsidiary operates on a distinct network and, therefore, manages its own information security program in close coordination with our Global Security Department. This subsidiary’s program aligns with all aspects of the company’s information security program and is led by a dedicated CISO who reports to the Chief Operating Officer of the subsidiary and has comprehensive experience managing cybersecurity programs. The GCSO has indirect oversight of the subsidiary’s CISO and its information security program.
Our cybersecurity programs include the following:
• | Proactive assessments of technical infrastructure and security resilience are performed on a regular basis which include penetration testing, offensive testing and maturity assessments. |
• | Conducting due diligence on third-party service providers regarding cybersecurity risks prior to on-boarding, periodic assessment of cybersecurity risks for third-party service providers and continuous monitoring for new third-party cybersecurity incidents. |
• | An incident response program that includes periodic testing and is designed to restore business operations as quickly and as orderly as possible in the event of a cybersecurity incident at Invesco or a third-party. |
• | Mandatory annual employee security awareness training, which focuses on cyber threats and security in general. |
• | Regular cyber phishing tests throughout the year to measure and raise employee awareness against cyber phishing threats. |
Important to these programs is our investment in threat-intelligence, our active engagement in industry and government security-related forums, and our utilization of external experts to challenge our program maturity, assess our controls and routinely test our capabilities.
As of December 31, 2024, we have not experienced any cyber incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect Invesco’s business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
Political engagement and oversight
As a global investment firm dedicated to creating greater possibilities for our clients, we believe it is important to be an active participant in the political process with the objective of promoting and protecting the economic future of the company, our clients and shareholders.

Interests in or alongside certain Invesco-sponsored or managed investment products
Some of our employees, including our executive officers (or persons or entities affiliated with them), are provided the opportunity to invest in or alongside certain Invesco-sponsored private funds and/or public non-traded products that we offer to our clients. Employees who make such investments usually do not pay management or performance fees charged to our clients. Messrs. Schlossberg, Kupor, Sharp, Wong and Ms. Dukes have made investments in or alongside such Invesco-sponsored private funds and/or public non-traded products. There were no distributions exceeding $120,000 from such Invesco sponsored private funds and/or public non-traded products during the year ended December 31, 2024 made to our executive officers (or persons or entities affiliated with them) consisting of profits and other income.

Likewise, in the ordinary course of our business, we may conduct transactions or make investments on behalf of funds or client accounts we manage in securities of and/or financial assets or products offered or managed by MassMutual. The amount of compensation or other value received (or in some cases not charged) by MassMutual or Invesco in connection with those transactions may exceed $120,000 individually or in the aggregate per year. Mr. Glavin is a member of our Board of Directors pursuant to the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement.

MassMutual Shareholder Agreement
In connection with Invesco’s acquisition of OppenheimerFunds, an investment management subsidiary of MassMutual and Invesco entered into a shareholder agreement, dated May 24, 2019 (the “MassMutual Shareholder Agreement”), which governs the ongoing relationship between MassMutual and Invesco.
See below for a summary of key provisions of the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement. It does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 24, 2019.
Share ownership: Subject to certain exceptions, MassMutual and its controlled affiliates are prohibited from acquiring any additional Invesco capital stock such that if after giving effect to such acquisition, MassMutual together with its controlled affiliates would beneficially own more than 22.5% of the total voting power of Invesco capital stock (which we refer to as the “ownership cap”).
MassMutual is subject to the ownership cap until the date (which we refer to as the “governance termination date”) on which MassMutual and its controlled affiliates cease to beneficially own at least (i) 10% of the issued and outstanding Invesco common shares or (ii) 5% of the issued and outstanding Invesco common shares and $2.0 billion in aggregate liquidation preference of Invesco Series A preferred shares.
Prohibited actions: Until the governance termination date, MassMutual and its controlled affiliates are generally prohibited from soliciting, knowingly encouraging, acting in concert or assisting third parties, negotiating or making any public announcement with respect to:

2025 Proxy Statement 31 |
Additional purchase of voting securities: Until the governance termination date, except in certain cases, if at any time Invesco issues voting securities (or securities convertible into voting securities), MassMutual will have the right to purchase directly from Invesco additional securities of the same class or series being issued up to an amount that would result in MassMutual and its controlled affiliates beneficially owning the lesser of (i) the ownership cap and (ii) the same ownership percentage as they owned immediately prior to such stock issuance.
Share repurchases: If Invesco engages in any share repurchase program or self tender that (i) will, or would reasonably be expected to, cause Invesco capital stock beneficially owned by MassMutual and its controlled affiliates to exceed 24.5% or (ii) would otherwise reasonably be likely to result in a deemed “assignment” of any investment advisory agreement of Invesco or its affiliates under the Investment Advisers Act or Investment Company Act, then Invesco may require, subject to certain exceptions, MassMutual and its controlled affiliates to promptly sell or self-tender such number of shares of Invesco capital stock to Invesco as would be necessary to prevent the occurrence of either of the foregoing events.
Right of first offer: If MassMutual and/or any of its controlled affiliates intend to transfer any Series A preferred shares to a non-affiliate, MassMutual must provide written notice to Invesco. Upon receipt of such notice, Invesco will have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the shares proposed to be transferred, at the price and terms described in the notice.
Registration rights: MassMutual has certain customary shelf, demand and “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the Invesco common shares and the Invesco Series A preferred shares.
Board designation: The MassMutual Shareholder Agreement requires Invesco to elect an individual designated by MassMutual to the Invesco Board (whom we refer to as the “MassMutual designee”). The current MassMutual designee serving on the Invesco Board is William F. Glavin Jr. Until the governance termination date, Invesco is required to use reasonable best efforts to cause the election of the MassMutual designee at each meeting of Invesco shareholders. Except in connection with succession planning, until the governance termination date, the size of the Invesco Board of Directors cannot exceed 12 members without the prior approval of the MassMutual designee. The MassMutual designee is entitled to be a member of each standing committee of the Invesco Board or, if not permitted by applicable law, to be an observer on such committee.
Approval rights of MassMutual: Until the governance termination date, Invesco may not generally enter into or effect the following transactions without the prior written approval of MassMutual:
• | change its capital structure in a manner that would be reasonably likely to result in certain corporate credit rating downgrades; |
• | amend its Memorandum of Association or Bye-Laws such that the rights of MassMutual would be adversely affected compared to those of the holders of Invesco capital stock generally; |
• | adopt a shareholder rights plan; |
• | make (or permit any of its material subsidiaries to make) any voluntary bankruptcy or similar filing or declaration; |
• | subject to certain exceptions, engage in any acquisition, exchange or purchase of equity interests or other similar transaction that involves the issuance of more than 10% of the total voting power of Invesco capital stock; |
• | make any changes in accounting principles that are disproportionately adverse to MassMutual and its affiliates compared to other holders of Invesco capital stock, except to the extent required by changes in GAAP or applicable law; |
• | materially alter Invesco’s principal line of business; or |
• | adopt any director qualifications to be imposed upon the MassMutual designee, other than those required by the Bye-Laws as of October 17, 2018 or those generally applicable to all directors. |
Voting agreements: Until the governance termination date, MassMutual and its controlled affiliates are generally required to vote (i) in favor of each matter required to effectuate any provision of the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement and against any matter the approval of which would be inconsistent with any provision of the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement, and (ii) to the extent consistent with the preceding clause (i), in accordance with the recommendation of the Invesco Board on all matters approved by the Invesco Board relating to (a) the elections of directors, (b) matters that have been approved or recommended by the compensation committee of the Invesco Board, (c) any change of control transaction of Invesco that the Invesco Board has unanimously recommended in favor of or against, and (d) any transaction that arises out of a breach by MassMutual of its obligations under the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement to not engage in certain prohibited actions. Additionally, if MassMutual and its controlled affiliates beneficially own at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Invesco common shares as of the record date for a vote on any matter, they must, subject to some exceptions, vote on such matter as recommended by the Invesco Board to the extent that such matter does not conflict with any provision of the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement.
32 Invesco Ltd.
Termination of the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement: The MassMutual Shareholder Agreement will terminate upon the later to occur of the governance termination date and the transfer restriction termination date, although certain provisions of the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement may survive for a certain period of time beyond the termination of the MassMutual Shareholder Agreement.

Executive summary
Financial performance highlights |
Industry performance update and company
When setting the 2024 company scorecard, the compensation committee and management set challenging targets grounded in the expectation that the industry would continue to face downward organic revenue and earnings pressures driven by secular trends. At the same time, it was imperative that management ensure that Invesco is positioned to meet clients’ evolving needs while driving long-term profitable growth. Global capital markets experienced uneven growth in 2024, with an outsized emphasis on a small number of US-listed mega cap technology stocks and tempered by geopolitical events, all of which continued to drive volatility. Long-term secular trends of investor preference for passive capabilities, largely at the expense of higher fee actively managed strategies continued in 2024.
Significant amounts of cash remained on the sidelines throughout the year, as investors reacted to the impact of persistently high interest rates and inflation in most major economies during the first part of the year. In the final months of 2024, cash remained on the sidelines given continued uncertainty on the future direction of interest rates and inflation. Despite these industry headwinds, Invesco’s broad diversification across investment capabilities, distribution channels and geographies enabled the company to take advantage of growth opportunities, and our diversified product lineup drove net long-term inflows, differentiating Invesco from many industry peers. Executive pay for 2024 is aligned with firm and market outcomes given this industry backdrop.
2024 Financial performance
• Invesco’s net long-term flows performance continued to outperform most asset manager peers in 2024. The firm delivered a long-term organic growth rate of 5%, representing $65.1 billion in net long-term inflows, while many industry peers experienced net long-term outflows. Sustained organic growth in key capability areas such as ETFs and Index, APAC Managed, Fundamental Fixed Income, and Private Markets enabled this result. We ended the year with more than $1.8 trillion in assets under management, driven by market gains augmented by net long-term inflows. • Net revenues1 of $4,400 million were 2% higher than 2023, driven by strong organic growth and market performance. This increase was tempered by the continuation of an industry-wide client-driven mix shift toward products that have lower net revenue yields, the more temporary preference of many investors for risk-off strategies given the uncertain interest rate and inflation outlook, and tepid demand for global and emerging markets equities. Our ability to capture flows in our passive capabilities mitigated the decrease in revenue relative to that experienced by many peers with less diversified capabilities. • These revenue dynamics and continued leadership focus on disciplined expense management drove improvements in adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted diluted EPS, while we continue to invest in areas of future growth and foundational technology projects that will benefit future scale. See page 49 for details on these metrics.
Progress on corporate strategy
• Invesco delivered sustained organic growth across high demand capability areas such as ETFs and Index, Separately Managed Accounts, Fundamental Fixed Income, and Private Markets. These results were diversified across distribution channels and across geographies. | |||||

CEO compensation highlights
|
• We maintained a strong balance sheet following the redemption of $600 million in senior notes in January 2024, which brought total debt to the lowest level in ten years. Liquidity remains strong with Cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion at the end of the year. After considering debt, net cash2 was $96 million at the end of the year. • Continued organizational simplification included the establishment of a Global Product organization, a more focused Global Technology and Operations organization, and a re-aligned go-to-market model for Private Markets. • The executive team continued to ensure that Invesco has the talent necessary to successfully execute its strategy, both investing in the development of internal talent and augmenting our platform with external expertise where appropriate. Key areas of emphasis in 2024 were Product, Technology & Operations, and Investment Risk Management. • Invesco continued to foster an inclusive environment in which talented people thrive, including the establishment of a new Leadership Framework outlining clear expectations and behaviors for our colleagues.
Our CEO’s compensation
Mr. Schlossberg is President and CEO. He develops, guides and oversees execution of Invesco’s long-term strategic priorities to deliver value for clients and shareholders over the long-term.
Mr. Schlossberg is responsible for senior leadership development and succession planning, defining and reinforcing Invesco’s strategy and engaging with key clients, industry leaders, regulators and policy makers. As part of this transformation and based on input from the committee’s compensation consultant, • Mr. Schlossberg’s incentive target for 2024 was $12.75 million, to reflect his first full year as President and CEO • Mr. Schlossberg’s total annual incentive compensation for 2024 was $13.6 million | |||

Introduction |
Invesco shareholder value framework
Invesco is committed to helping our clients meet their investment objectives and delivering long-term shareholder value. Our executive officers are able to directly influence business drivers of our financial and operating performance and, ultimately, company and share price valuation. Invesco’s framework for long-term value creation is based primarily on:
![]() |
Our focus on delivering the outcomes our clients seek enables us to grow our business by attracting and retaining new AUM, resulting in positive long-term organic growth.
Our strong global operating platform allows us to operate effectively and efficiently and is an important driver of our operating leverage that benefits clients and shareholders. The creation of operating leverage allows us to meet current client demands, invest for future growth and create value for our shareholders.
We strive to maintain our financial strength through disciplined capital management and return capital to shareholders on a consistent and predictable basis.
Our focus on driving greater efficiency and effectiveness, combined with our work to build a global business with a comprehensive range of capabilities, puts Invesco in a strong position to meet client needs, run a disciplined business, continue to invest in and grow our business over the long term, and deliver long-term value to our clients, shareholders and other stakeholders. | |
Invesco’s commitment to delivering shareholder value is aligned with the purpose-driven way in which we manage our business for all stakeholders. We operate with a consistent focus on four strategic themes:
• | Deliver the excellence our clients expect |
• | Grow high demand investment offerings |
• | Create an environment where talented people thrive |
• | Act like owners for all stakeholders |
Investing for the long-term is an important element of our strategy. Our investment capabilities are diversified in terms of investment objectives, styles, client types, and geographies. This diversification positions us to meet client needs through differing market cycles across the globe. We strive to give clients greater value for their money, which means strong investment performance, investor education, thought leadership, and value-added services that create an enhanced client experience.
Shareholder and proxy advisory outreach and feedback
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders provides our shareholders with the opportunity to:
• | evaluate our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices; |
• | assess the alignment of executive compensation with Invesco’s results; and |
• | cast an advisory vote regarding the company’s executive compensation. |
At the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, the say-on-pay advisory vote received significant support, with approximately 85% of the votes in favor of our executive compensation policies, practices and determinations.
Invesco’s Board understands the importance of executive compensation decisions and encourages open and constructive dialogue with our shareholders. Each year, Invesco reaches out to key shareholders and major proxy advisory firms to solicit insights on executive compensation and governance matters.
2025 Proxy Statement 45 |
In 2024, we continued our shareholder outreach program, contacting or engaging with shareholders representing approximately 71% of our common stock. That number included our significant shareholder MassMutual, which holds approximately 18% of our common stock and engaged directly with management in 2024 with a representative on the company’s Board of Directors and Compensation Committee. Our shareholder outreach program included invitations to a majority of our top shareholders and courtesy invitations to certain other shareholders and the major proxy advisory firms to discuss our executive compensation program and governance matters.
We held meetings with all shareholders who accepted our invitation – three of our shareholders representing approximately 16% of our outstanding shares1, including certain shareholders who voted against our “say-on-pay” proposal in 2024. During each of the meetings, we asked specific questions about the design of our current executive compensation program, and gave our meeting attendees the opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions. Management provided feedback to the committee based on these meetings. No significant concerns regarding our executive compensation program were raised from our discussions.
The committee, in conjunction with its independent consultant and management, has integrated aspects of the feedback into our compensation program. For example, we added a negative TSR vesting cap on performance based equity awards, and we have enhanced our company scorecard over the years to reduce the number of metrics and increase the impact of financial factors. Based on these discussions and the results of our “say-on-pay” vote last year, the committee believes that our shareholders support our overall executive compensation program.

We achieve alignment of performance and pay by measuring company performance and individual achievements |
The committee uses structured judgment as we believe that a wholly formulaic program could have unintended consequences |
How we align performance and pay
Executive pay outcomes are aligned to both our company performance and individual achievements. At the beginning of the year, the committee approves the CEO objectives, the company scorecard and its weightings that measure the following key drivers of shareholder value creation: | ||||
![]() |
∎ financial performance |
66.7% | ||
∎ organizational health |
33.3% | |||
|
||||
Following completion of the year, the committee assesses company performance based on the company scorecard (both financial and organizational health) and individual achievements to determine each NEO’s annual and long-term incentives. | ||||
How the committee uses its structured judgment in making annual incentive compensation decisions
The committee uses financial performance and organizational health in the company scorecard to evaluate firm performance. Our business is dynamic and requires us to respond rapidly to changes in market conditions and other factors outside of our control that impact our financial performance.
The committee believes that applying structured judgment and thoughtful consideration of the company’s overall performance and each executive’s performance, are important in determining executive pay.
The committee believes that a rigid, formulaic program based strictly on quantitative metrics could have unintended consequences such as encouraging undue focus on achieving specific short-term results at the expense of long-term success. In addition, solely formulaic compensation would not permit adjustments based on factors beyond the control of our executive officers as well as relative performance in relation to shifting market conditions and less quantifiable factors such as recognition of strategic developments and individual achievements. Therefore, thoughtful consideration of these additional factors allows the committee to fully consider the overall performance of our executive officers over time and has been a key ingredient in ensuring a focus on long-term financial results. |
2025 Proxy Statement 47
For all NEOs, a significant portion of their total incentive award is delivered through deferred equity. All incentives are paid from a company-wide incentive pool |
The committee’s well-defined process for making annual pay decisions
The pay determination process reinforces our shareholder value framework. The committee’s 4-step process determines each NEO’s total incentive outcome, which includes all variable pay (annual cash award + time-based equity award + performance-based equity award). Based on a quantitative and qualitative performance assessment, total incentive awards can range from 0% to 130% of each NEO’s incentive target. Once the total incentive award is determined, the pay mix between cash and equity is more heavily weighted to equity awards. See page 52 for the overall pay mix for the NEOs.
See page 61 for a detailed description regarding these steps

Invesco 2024 performance1
Organic flow growth outperformed most industry peers in 2024 during a challenging environment for organic asset growth. We ended the year with more than $1.8 trillion in assets under management – a 16.4% increase from prior year-end. Net revenues1 of $4,400 million were 2% higher than 2023, driven by strong organic growth and market performance. This increase was tempered by the continuation of an industry-wide client-driven mix shift toward products that have lower net revenue yields, the more temporary preference of many investors for risk-off strategies given the uncertain interest rate and inflation outlook, and demand for global and emerging markets equities. These revenue dynamics and continued management focus on disciplined expense management drove improvements in adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted diluted EPS, while we continue to invest in areas of future growth and foundational technology projects that will benefit future scale. Furthermore, the firm maintained a strong balance sheet following the redemption of $600 million in senior notes in January 2024, which brought total debt to the lowest level in ten years. Liquidity remains strong with Cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion at the end of the year. After considering debt, net cash2 was $96 million at the end of the year. This provides the flexibility needed to navigate the uncertain environment and continue to invest in areas of future growth, while building scale in our global business.

Company scorecard results for 2024 – aligning annual pay with results
The committee continues to support a company scorecard with two main categories of measurement – Financial Performance (66.7% weight of overall outcome, with each financial metric weighted equally) and Organizational Health (33.3% weight of overall outcome). The committee has established a range (minimum to maximum) of outcomes for each metric resulting in the potential outcome of the scorecard being between 0% to 130%.
Executive pay for 2024 is aligned with firm and market outcomes. For Financial Performance, the outcome was 110%. Outcomes for the individual Financial Performance measures ranged from 104% to 130%, with each financial metric weighted equally. For Organizational Health, the outcome was 102%. This produced an overall company outcome of 107%.

CEO pay determination
Based on company performance, the table below shows how the committee calculated Mr. Schlossberg’s pay for 2024. The committee’s process for determining executive officer pay is applied to all incentive compensation (consisting of cash bonus + time-based equity + performance-based equity).
After evaluating compensation through the company scorecard, the committee assesses whether to apply further discretion to adjust the scorecard outcome. The committee determined the scorecard outcome reflects the holistic assessment of company performance and recognizes that the committee set challenging financial and organizational goals. As a result, the committee did not apply discretion to adjust the outcome of the company scorecard.

The committee’s process for determining annual executive pay |
We describe below a summary of the steps our committee takes in making its annual compensation decisions.
Step 1
Incentive awards range from 0% to 130% of target |
Step 1– approving company scorecard and setting individual annual incentive targets and goals
In early 2024, the committee approved the company scorecard and established annual incentive targets (consisting of cash bonus + equity awards) for our CEO and our other executive officers. Actual incentive awards range from 0% to 130% of the target amount based on company and individual performance. The Board also approved the company’s operating plan which is part of the annual goals for the company and the CEO.
In consultation with Johnson Associates, the committee’s independent compensation consultant, the incentive targets are based on the executive’s role. See page 48 for the 2024 incentive targets.
| |
Step 2
Ensuring that our incentive pool and incentive awards are commercially viable |
Step 2– setting our company-wide incentive pool
Based on 2024 financial results and the company’s performance toward achieving its strategic objectives, the committee approved the company-wide incentive pool for 2024 at 43% of revenue. Absolute incentive pools were up year-over-year from 2023. All incentive awards, including NEO awards, are paid out of this pool.
The company-wide incentive pool includes cash bonus, equity, as well as the amounts paid under sales commission plans. The company-wide incentive pool was determined based on historical data and practices of asset management and other similar financial services firms as analyzed by Johnson Associates.
| |
Step 3
The company scorecard is an assessment of company performance |
Step 3 – using the company scorecard to assess company performance in order to determine executive pay
During the fourth quarter of 2024 and early in 2025, the committee conducted its final quantitative assessment of company performance for 2024 using the company scorecard. The scorecard is based on results achieved and related weightings in the following categories: Financial Performance 66.7% and Organizational Health 33.3%. The outcomes for our 2024 company scorecard have an overall company score of 107%. See page 50 for more information about our company scorecard results. The committee believes that each of the company performance measures supports the key indicators of company success. |
2025 Proxy Statement 61 |
Step 4
The committee applies its qualitative assessment of executive achievements |
Step 4 – qualitative assessment of individual performance and determining individual compensation
During the fourth quarter of 2024 and early in 2025, the committee assessed each executive’s performance within the context of:
• company performance as detailed on the company scorecard; • each executive’s performance against the executive’s goals; and • each executive’s incentive target and market data.
After the assessment of company performance, the committee applied its qualitative assessment of each executive officer in setting final compensation in order to ensure that outcomes are aligned with company and individual performance and with shareholder interests.
Once the committee determined each executive’s total compensation, the committee determined the appropriate mix between cash and equity awards. For all NEOs, at least 60% of their total incentive is delivered in deferred equity of which at least 50% is a performance-based equity award. |

Our compensation components |
Compensation components
We utilize the following key compensation components in our executive compensation program to achieve our objectives. The key components demonstrate our focus on annual and long-term incentive compensation that is closely aligned with company performance.
As noted below, incentive compensation is comprised of an annual cash bonus + time-based equity award + performance-based equity award. All annual incentive compensation is paid out of a company-wide incentive pool. Individual executive awards are based on individual incentive targets, company scorecard results and individual performance.

Our compensation philosophy and objectives |
Compensation philosophy
Invesco’s compensation program is designed to support our multi-year strategic objectives and the behaviors and discipline that generate strong performance for our clients and shareholders by:
• | aligning the interests of our senior-level employees and NEOs with clients and shareholders through long-term equity awards and accumulation of meaningful share ownership; |
• | balancing pay-for-performance with economic outcomes; |
• | reinforcing our commercial viability by closely linking rewards to Invesco, business unit and individual results and performance; |
• | attracting, recognizing and retaining talent by ensuring a meaningful mix of cash and deferred compensation; and |
• | discouraging excessive risk-taking that would have a material adverse impact on our clients, shareholders or the company. |
Emphasis on deferrals
The committee has designed our executive compensation program so that a significant portion of an executive’s compensation is in the form of deferred incentives. The committee believes this appropriately aligns the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders as it focuses on long-term shareholder value creation.
60% of annual incentive compensation of our other NEOs is deferred and 70% of our CEO’s annual incentive compensation is deferred. The committee has no pre-established policy or target on the compensation mix between pay elements.
Performance-based equity awards
Performance based equity awards vest based on the following two performance measures — AOM and relative TSR over a three-year period.
The committee believes tying vesting to both AOM and relative TSR over a multi-year period aligns with shareholder interests and the following goals with respect to performance-based awards:
Relative TSR
• | tracks value created for shareholders as a quantitative measure |
• | aligns with shareholder interests |
AOM
• | encourages revenue growth with disciplined expense management |
• | is consistent with the way the business is managed |
• | is an important measure of overall strength of an asset manager |
• | is a primary focus of shareholders |
Performance award vesting matrix
The number of shares that vest will equal the target award amount multiplied by the vesting percentage associated with the average AOM and relative TSR ranking on the chart below. Vesting may range from 0% to 150%. We believe that the linked vesting performance thresholds provides significant rigor to our incentive program, as payouts are not a range of outcomes but represent specific performance levels. We believe that the rigor of the performance goals tied to our performance-based equity awards is demonstrated by the vesting percentages for the past 3 years’ awards, including the 2022 PSUs that vested in February 2025. With respect to the 2022 PSUs, our three-year average AOM was 32.1% and our relative TSR ranking was at the 22nd percentile for the three-year period, resulting in these awards vesting at 17% of target.
64 Invesco Ltd.
If Invesco’s relative TSR is the lowest percentile and three-year average AOM is 24% or less, then our CEO and each of our other executives will not be entitled to a distribution of any shares or accrued dividends. In addition, if the company’s three-year absolute TSR is negative, vesting will be capped at 100%. |
In early 2025, the committee, in consultation with Johnson Associates, approved the vesting matrix for performance-based equity awards granted in February 2025 in connection with 2024 pay. The committee continues to review performance-based equity awards (including performance measures, vesting measures and methodologies) based on industry trends, peer practices and feedback from shareholders and major proxy advisory firms. As shown below, the vesting matrix continues to use three-year average AOM and relative TSR as measures for the performance-based equity awards. The committee believes that the vesting matrix aligns with our operating plan and ensures an appropriate level of vesting rigor.
The below vesting matrix is for performance-based equity awards granted in February 2025 in connection with 2024 pay.

Role of the compensation committee
The committee’s responsibilities include:
• | reviewing and making recommendations to the Board about the company’s overall compensation philosophy; |
• | approving the company-wide incentive pool; |
• | evaluating the performance of, and setting the compensation for, the CEO; and |
• | overseeing management’s annual process for evaluating the performance of, and approving the compensation for, each of the other executive officers. |
Role of the independent compensation consultant
The committee has engaged Johnson Associates, an independent consulting firm, to advise it on non-executive director and executive compensation matters. Johnson Associates assists the committee throughout the year by:
• | providing analysis and evaluation of our overall executive compensation program, including compensation paid to our non-executive directors and executive officers; |
• | attending certain meetings of the committee and periodically meeting with the committee without members of management present; |
• | providing the committee with market data and analysis that compares executive compensation paid by the company with that paid by other firms in the financial services industry, which we consider generally comparable to us; and |
• | providing commentary regarding market conditions, market impressions and compensation trends. |
2025 Proxy Statement 65 |
Under the terms of its engagement with the committee, Johnson Associates does not provide any other services to the company unless the committee has approved such services. No such other services were provided in 2024. The committee has considered various factors as required by NYSE rules as to whether the work of Johnson Associates with respect to director and executive compensation-related matters raised any conflict of interest. The committee has determined no conflict of interest was raised by the engagement of Johnson Associates.
Role of the executive officers
Our CEO meets with the non-executive directors throughout the year to discuss executive performance and compensation matters, including proposals on compensation for individual executive officers (other than himself). Our CEO and Chief Human Resources Officer work with the committee to implement our compensation philosophy. They also provide to the committee information regarding financial and investment performance of the company as well as our progress toward our long-term strategic objectives. Our CFO assists as needed in explaining specific aspects of the company’s financial performance and recommending financial and investment company goals.
Market data
The committee, with assistance from Johnson Associates, reviews the composition of our peer group to ensure that the group continues to serve as an appropriate market reference for executive compensation purposes. In considering the composition of our peer group, the committee considers a broad set of comparators firms from several perspectives. The committee evaluates business model and scope, historical pay ranges, and competitors with whom we compete for talent.
The peer group emphasizes pure asset management firms supplemented by firms with significant business overlap and similar scale.
The company’s peer group does not solely determine executive pay outcomes but is a reasonable reference point and one of multiple perspectives considered when determining executive (including NEO) pay.
Below is the compensation peer group that has been used since 2021 as well as the peer group for performance-based awards granted since 2022. The peer group for performance-based equity awards is comprised of firms with publicly reported financial results.

1. | Each of NEOs is a party to an agreement that provides for an employment notice period of either six or twelve months. Following a notice of termination, the employee would continue to receive salary and benefits compensation, and the vesting periods with respect to any outstanding incentive awards would continue to run, in the normal course until the date of termination. In accordance with SEC rules, the information presented in this table assumes a termination date of December 31, 2024, and that the applicable notice had been given prior to such date. |
2. | Assumes termination by the company other than for cause or unsatisfactory performance. Amounts are payable as of termination and are subject to the NEO’s (i) release of claims against the company and (ii) continued compliance with covenants restricting the named executive officer’s solicitation of clients or employees and nondisclosure of confidential information following termination.

When mandated by local regulatory requirements, incentive award agreement provides for continued vesting. We do not provide excise tax “gross up.” |
4. | With respect to outstanding performance-based equity awards, value reflects target level of performance. When mandated by local regulatory requirements, the number of shares received following the end of the performance period is based on the company’s actual performance over the duration of the performance period. |

CEO pay ratio
As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our CEO, and our employees (other than our CEO):
For 2024, our last completed year:
• | the annual total compensation of our median employee (other than our CEO), was $117,537, and |
• | the annual total compensation of our CEO for purposes of calculating the CEO pay ratio was $11,232,341. |
As a result for 2024, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee (other than our CEO) was 96 to 1.
Methodology
Our CEO to median employee pay ratio is calculated in accordance with SEC requirements. As of June 30, 2023, we appointed a new CEO who was promoted into the role. As a result, as of October 1, 2023, we identified a new median employee by examining 2022 total compensation for all individuals, excluding our new CEO and our former CEO. We included all employees who were employed by us during all of 2022 (our prior fiscal year) and included base salary, cash bonus, commissions, overtime, performance fees and deferred incentive compensation. We did not make any assumptions, adjustments or estimates with respect to compensation, and we did not annualize the compensation for any employees.
We calculated 2024 annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology we use for our named executive officers as set forth in the 2024 Summary Compensation table in this proxy statement.

General information regarding the annual general meeting
Questions and answers about voting your common shares
Why did I receive this Proxy Statement? |
You have received these proxy materials because Invesco’s Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual General Meeting on May 23, 2025. This Proxy Statement includes information that is designed to assist you in voting your shares and information that we are required to provide to you under SEC rules. | |
What is a proxy? |
A “proxy” is a written authorization from you to another person that allows such person (the “proxy holder”) to vote your shares on your behalf. The Board of Directors is asking you to allow any of the following persons to vote your shares at the Annual General Meeting: G. Richard Wagoner, Jr., Chair of the Board of Directors; Andrew R. Schlossberg, President and Chief Executive Officer; L. Allison Dukes, Senior Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer and Jeffrey H. Kupor, Senior Managing Director and General Counsel. | |
Why did I not receive my proxy materials in the mail? |
As permitted by rules of the SEC, Invesco is making this Proxy Statement and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“Annual Report”) available to its shareholders electronically via the Internet. The “e-proxy” process expedites shareholders’ receipt of proxy materials and lowers the costs and reduces the environmental impact of our Annual General Meeting.
Beginning on March 28, 2025, we mailed to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 14, 2025 (“Record Date”) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement, our Annual Report and other soliciting materials via the Internet. If you received a Notice by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail. Instead, the Notice instructs you on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the Proxy Statement and Annual Report. The Notice also instructs you on how you may submit your proxy. If you received a Notice by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions included in the Notice to request such materials. | |
Who is entitled to vote? |
Each holder of record of Invesco common shares on the Record Date for the Annual General Meeting is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting. | |
What is the difference between holding shares as a “shareholder of record” and as a “beneficial owner”? |
• Shareholders of record. You are a shareholder of record if at the close of business on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with Computershare, our transfer agent. • Beneficial owner. You are a beneficial owner if at the close of business on the Record Date your shares were held by a brokerage firm or other nominee and not in your name. Being a beneficial owner means that, like most of our shareholders, your shares are held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions your broker or nominee provides. If you do not provide your broker or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker or nominee will be able to vote your shares with respect to some of the proposals, but not all. Please see What if I return a signed proxy or voting instruction card, but do not specify how my shares are to be voted? for additional information. • Invesco has requested banks, brokerage firms and other nominees who hold Invesco common shares on behalf of beneficial owners of the common shares as of the close of business on the Record Date to forward the Notice to those beneficial owners. Invesco has agreed to pay the reasonable expenses of the banks, brokerage firms and other nominees for forwarding these materials. |
2025 Proxy Statement 87 |
How many votes do I have? |
Every holder of a common share on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote per share for each Director to be elected at the Annual General Meeting and to one vote per share on each other matter presented at the Annual General Meeting. On the Record Date there were 447,836,383 common shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting. | |
What proposals are being presented at the Annual General Meeting? |
Invesco intends to present proposals numbered one through three for shareholder consideration and voting at the Annual General Meeting. These proposals are for: 1. Election of eleven (11) members of the Board of Directors; 2. Advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers; and 3. Appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm. | |
Other than the matters set forth in this Proxy Statement and matters incident to the conduct of the Annual General Meeting, Invesco does not know of any business or proposals to be considered at the Annual General Meeting. If any other business is proposed and properly presented at the Annual General Meeting, the proxies received from our shareholders give the proxy holders the authority to vote on such matter in their discretion. | ||
How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote? |
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote:
• FOR the election of the eleven (11) directors nominated by our Board and named in this Proxy Statement; • FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers; and • FOR appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm. | |
How do I attend the Annual General Meeting? |
The Annual Meeting will be in a virtual meeting format only, with no in-person access. Shareholders attending the Annual Meeting remotely will have the same opportunities they have had at past annual meetings to participate, vote, ask questions, and provide feedback to the company’s management team and the Board of Directors. | |
• If you were a shareholder of record (i.e. you hold your shares at our transfer agent, Computershare) at the close of business on the Record Date, you are eligible to access, participate in and vote at the virtual meeting. • The meeting will be hosted at www.meetnow.global/MP4DWQ9. The meeting will begin promptly at 11:30 a.m., Eastern Time and online access will open 15 minutes prior to allow time to log-in. You will also need your voter control number, which, if you are a shareholder of record, you can find on your original proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. • If you hold your shares in “street name” or through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker (a “Beneficial Holder”), you have two options to attend the meeting: 1. Registration in Advance of the Annual General Meeting Submit proof of your proxy power (“Legal Proxy”) from your broker or bank reflecting your Invesco Ltd. holdings along with your name and email address to Computershare. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 20, 2025. You will receive a confirmation email from Computershare of your registration, which will include your voter control number. Requests for registration should include an email from your broker or an image of your legal proxy and be directed to Computershare via email at legalproxy@computershare.com or by mail at Computershare, Invesco Ltd. Legal Proxy, P.O. Box 43001, Providence, RI 02940-3001. |
88 Invesco Ltd.
2. Register at the Annual General Meeting We expect that the majority of Beneficial Holders will be able to fully participate in the Annual General Meeting using the control number received with their voting instruction form. Please note, however, that this option is intended to be provided as a convenience to Beneficial Holders only. There is no guarantee this option will be available for every type of Beneficial Holder voting control number. The inability to provide this option to any or all Beneficial Holders shall in no way impact the validity of the Annual General Meeting. Beneficial Holders should the register in advance of the Annual Meeting as described above, if they want to ensure full access to the Annual General Meeting. | ||
• You may submit your proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting via the Internet, by phone or by mail by following the instructions included on your proxy card or notice of Internet availability. Whether or not you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting using one of the methods described in the proxy materials. | ||
Do I need to register to attend the Annual Meeting virtually? |
Registration is only required if you are a Beneficial Holder, as set forth above. | |
What if I have trouble accessing the Annual Meeting virtually? |
The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Note: Internet Explorer is not a supported browser. Participants should ensure that they have a strong Wi-Fi connection wherever they intend to participate in the meeting. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. For further assistance should you need it you may call 1-888-724-2416. | |
How do I vote and what are the voting deadlines? |
You may vote your shares in person at the Annual General Meeting or by proxy. There are three ways to vote by proxy: • Via the internet: You can submit a proxy via the Internet until the adjournment of the virtual annual meeting, by accessing the web site at http://www.envisonreports. com/IVZ and following the instructions you will find on the web site. Internet proxy submission is available 24 hours a day. You will be given the opportunity to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. • By telephone: You can submit a proxy by telephone until 11:59 p.m. eastern time on May 22, 2025, by calling toll-free 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) (from the U.S. and Canada) and following the instructions. • By mail: If you have received your proxy materials by mail, you can vote by marking, dating and signing your proxy card and returning it by mail in the enclosed postage- paid envelope. If you hold your common shares in an account with a bank or broker (i.e., in “street name”), you can vote by following the instructions on the voting instruction card provided to you by your bank or broker. Proxy cards returned by mail must be received no later than the close of business on May 22, 2025. | |
Even if you plan to participate in the Annual General Meeting, we encourage you to vote your common shares by proxy using one of the methods described above. Invesco shareholders of record who attend the meeting virtually may vote their common shares, even though they have sent in proxies. | ||
What if I hold restricted shares? |
For participants in the 2016 Global Equity Incentive Plan who hold restricted share awards through the company’s stock plan administrator, your restricted shares will be voted as you instruct the custodian for such shares, Invesco Ltd. (the “Custodian”). There are three ways to vote: via the Internet, by telephone or by returning your voting instruction card. Please follow the instructions included on your voting instruction card on how to vote using one of the three methods. Your vote will serve as voting instructions to the Custodian for your restricted shares. If you do not provide instructions regarding your restricted shares, the Custodian will not vote them. You cannot vote your restricted shares at the meeting. To allow sufficient time for voting by the Custodian, the Custodian must receive your vote by no later than 11:59 p.m. eastern time on May 12, 2025. |
2025 Proxy Statement 89 |
May I change or revoke my vote? |
Yes. You may change your vote in one of several ways at any time before it is cast prior to the applicable deadline for voting: • Grant a subsequent proxy via the Internet or telephone; • Submit another proxy card (or voting instruction card) with a date later than your previously delivered proxy; • Notify our Company Secretary in writing before the Annual General Meeting that you are revoking your proxy or, if you hold your shares in “street name,” follow the instructions on the voting instruction card; or • If you are a shareholder of record, or a beneficial owner with a proxy from the shareholder of record, vote at the Annual General Meeting. | |
What will happen if I do not vote my shares? |
• Shareholders of record. If you are the shareholder of record and you do not vote at the Annual General Meeting, or by proxy via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail, your shares will not be voted at the Annual General Meeting. • Beneficial owners. If you are the beneficial owner of your shares, your broker or nominee may vote your shares only on those proposals on which it has discretion to vote. Under NYSE rules, your broker or nominee has discretion to vote your shares on routine matters, such as Proposal No. 3, but does not have discretion to vote your shares on non-routine matters, such as Proposals No. 1 and 2. Therefore, if you do not instruct your broker as to how to vote your shares on Proposals No. 1 and 2, this would be a “broker non-vote,” and your shares would not be counted as having been voted on the applicable proposal. We therefore strongly encourage you to instruct your broker or nominee on how you wish to vote your shares. | |
What is the effect of a broker non-vote or abstention? |
Under NYSE rules, brokers or other nominees who hold shares for a beneficial owner have the discretion to vote on a limited number of routine proposals when they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least ten days prior to the Annual General Meeting. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker or other nominee does not receive such voting instructions and does not have the discretion to vote the shares. Pursuant to Bermuda law, broker non-votes and abstentions are not included in the determination of the common shares voting on such matter but are counted for quorum purposes. | |
What if I return a signed proxy or voting instruction card, but do not specify how my shares are to be voted? |
• Shareholders of record. If you are a shareholder of record and you submit a proxy, but you do not provide voting instructions, all of your shares will be voted FOR Proposals No. 1 , 2 and 3. • Beneficial owners. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide the broker or other nominee that holds your shares with voting instructions, the broker or other nominee will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under NYSE rules, brokers and other nominees have the discretion to vote on routine matters, such as Proposal No. 3, but do not have discretion to vote on non- routine matters, such as Proposals No. 1 and 2. Therefore, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee, your broker or other nominee may only vote your shares on Proposal No. 3 and any other routine matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual General Meeting. | |
What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials? |
It means you own Invesco common shares in more than one account, such as individually and jointly with your spouse. Please vote all of your common shares. Please see Householding of Proxy Materials for information on how you may elect to receive only one Notice. | |
What is a quorum? |
A quorum is necessary to hold a valid meeting. The presence of two or more persons representing, in person or by proxy, more than 50% of the issued and outstanding common shares entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting as of the Record Date constitutes a quorum for the conduct of business. |
90 Invesco Ltd.
What vote is required in order to approve each proposal? |
All proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such proposal at the Annual General Meeting. Under our Bye-Laws, a majority of the votes cast means the number of shares voted “for” a proposal must exceed 50% of the votes cast with respect to such proposal. Votes “cast” include only votes cast with respect to shares present at the Annual General Meeting or represented by proxy and excludes abstentions. | |
How will voting on any other business be conducted? |
Other than the matters set forth in this Proxy Statement and matters incident to the conduct of the Annual General Meeting, we do not know of any business or proposals to be considered at the Annual General Meeting. If any other business is proposed and properly presented at the Annual General Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote on the matter in their discretion. | |
What happens if the Annual General Meeting is adjourned or postponed? |
Your proxy will still be effective and will be voted at the rescheduled Annual General Meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is voted. | |
Who will count the votes? |
A representative of Computershare, our transfer agent, will act as the inspector of election and will tabulate the votes. | |
How can I find the results of the Annual General Meeting? |
Preliminary results will be announced at the Annual General Meeting. Final results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual General Meeting. |
Important additional information
Costs of solicitation
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be paid by Invesco. We have retained Alliance Advisors LLC to solicit proxies for a fee of approximately $22,500 plus a reasonable amount to cover expenses. Proxies may also be solicited in person, by telephone or electronically by Invesco personnel who will not receive additional compensation for such solicitation. Copies of proxy materials and our Annual Report will be supplied to brokers and other nominees for the purpose of soliciting proxies from beneficial owners, and we will reimburse such brokers or other nominees for their reasonable expenses.
Presentation of financial statements
In accordance with Section 84 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, Invesco’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 will be presented at the Annual General Meeting. These statements have been approved by the Board. There is no requirement under Bermuda law that these statements be approved by shareholders, and no such approval will be sought at the Annual General Meeting.

Shareholder proposals for the 2026 annual general meeting
In accordance with the rules established by the SEC, any shareholder proposal submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act intended for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for next year’s annual general meeting of shareholders must be received by Invesco no later than 120 days before the anniversary of the date of this Proxy Statement (e.g., not
2025 Proxy Statement 91 |
later than November 28, 2025). Such proposals should be sent to our Company Secretary in writing to Invesco Ltd., Attn: Office of the Company Secretary, Legal Department, 1331 Spring Street NW, Suite 2500, Atlanta, Georgia 30309, or by email to company.secretary@invesco.com. To be included in the Proxy Statement, the proposal must comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC and our Bye-Laws, and must be a proper subject for shareholder action under Bermuda law.
In addition, a shareholder (or a group of up to 20 shareholders) who has owned at least 3% of our shares continuously for at least three years and has complied with the other requirements in our bye-laws may nominate and include in the company’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to 20% of our Board of Directors. Notice of a proxy access nomination for consideration at our 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders must be received not less than 90 and not more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (e.g. from January 23, 2026 to February 22, 2026).
A shareholder may otherwise propose business for consideration or nominate persons for election to the Board in compliance with SEC proxy rules, Bermuda law, our Bye-Laws and other legal requirements, without seeking to have the proposal included in Invesco’s Proxy Statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Under our Bye-Laws, notice of such a proposal must generally be provided to our Company Secretary not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual general meeting. The period under our Bye-Laws for receipt of such proposals for next year’s meeting is thus from January 23, 2026 to February 22, 2026. (However, if the date of the annual general meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, any notice by a shareholder of business or the nomination of directors for election or reelection to be brought before the annual general meeting to be timely must be delivered (i) not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual general meeting; and (ii) not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the 90th day prior to such annual general meeting and (B) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.) SEC rules permit proxy holders to vote proxies in their discretion in certain cases if the shareholder does not comply with these deadlines, and in certain other cases notwithstanding compliance with these deadlines.
In addition to complying with the notice and information procedures of our Bye-Laws, and consistent with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who in connection with our 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our Company’s nominees must also provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act no later than March 24, 2026.
In addition, Sections 79-80 of the Bermuda Companies Act allows shareholders holding at least 5% of the total voting rights or totaling 100 record holders (provided that they advance to the company all expenses involved and comply with certain deadlines) to require Invesco (i) to give notice of any resolution that such shareholders can properly propose at the next annual general meeting; and/or (ii) to circulate a statement regarding any proposed resolution or business to be conducted at a general meeting.
United States Securities and Exchange Commission reports
A copy of the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”), including financial statements, for the year ended December 31, 2024, is being furnished concurrently herewith to all shareholders holding shares as of the Record Date. Please read it carefully.
Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Annual Report, without charge, by visiting the company’s web site at www.invesco.com/corporate or by submitting a request to our Company Secretary at: company.secretary@invesco. com or by writing Invesco Ltd., Attn: Office of the Company Secretary, Legal Department, 1331 Spring Street NW, Suite 2500, Atlanta, Georgia 30309.

Householding of proxy materials
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as banks and brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Proxy Statements and Annual Reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Proxy Statement and Annual Report to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies.
A number of banks and brokers with account holders who are beneficial holders of the company’s common shares will be householding the company’s proxy materials or the Notice. Accordingly, a single copy of the proxy materials or Notice will be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your bank or broker that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive separate proxy materials or copies of the Notice, please notify your bank or broker, or contact our Company Secretary at: company. secretary@invesco.com, or by mail to Invesco Ltd., Attn: Office of the Company Secretary, Legal Department, 1331 Spring Street NW, Suite 2500, Atlanta, Georgia 30309, or by telephone to 404-892-0896. The company undertakes, upon oral or written request to the address or telephone number above, to deliver promptly a separate copy of the company’s proxy materials or the Notice to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the applicable document was delivered. Shareholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy materials or the Notice at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their bank or broker or the Company Secretary at the contact address and telephone number provided above.
Forward-looking statements
This Proxy Statement may include “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements include information concerning future results of our operations, expenses, earnings, liquidity, cash flow and capital expenditures, industry or market conditions, assets under management, geopolitical events and pandemics and health crises and their respective potential impact on the company, acquisitions and divestitures, debt and our ability to obtain additional financing or make payments, regulatory developments, demand for and pricing of our products and other aspects of our business or general economic conditions. In addition, words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projections,” “forecasts,” and future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” and “would” as well as any other statement that necessarily depends on future events, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. None of this information should be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, historical financial statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, and they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from our expectations. We caution investors not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements and urge you to carefully consider the risks described in our most recent Form 10-K and subsequent Forms 10-Q, filed with the SEC. You may obtain these reports from the SEC’s website at www. sec.gov. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update the information in any public disclosure if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate.

U.S. GAAP rules on consolidation require the company to consolidate certain investment product assets and liabilities which significantly distort our balance sheet and associated financial metrics
Appendix A |
Schedule of non-GAAP information
We utilize the following non-GAAP performance measures: Net revenue (and by calculation, Net revenue yield on AUM), Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco and Adjusted diluted EPS. The company believes the adjusted measures provide valuable insight into the company’s ongoing operational performance and assist in comparisons to its competitors. These measures also assist the company’s management with the establishment of operational budgets and forecasts. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are Operating revenues (and by calculation, Gross revenue yield on AUM), Operating income, Operating margin, Net income/(loss) attributable to Invesco and Diluted EPS. Each of these measures is discussed more fully below. |
The following are reconciliations of the U.S. GAAP measures to the non-GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for any U.S. GAAP measures and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Additional reconciling items may be added in the future to the non-GAAP measures if deemed appropriate. The tax effects related to the reconciling items have been calculated based on the tax rate attributable to the jurisdiction to which the transaction relates. Notes to the reconciliations follow the tables. |

1. | Revenue adjustments: The company calculates Net revenues by reducing Operating revenues to exclude fees that are passed through to external parties who perform functions on behalf of, and distribute, the company’s managed funds. The Net revenue presentation assists in identifying the revenue contribution generated by the company, removing distortions caused by the differing distribution channel fees and allowing for a fair comparison with U.S. peer investment managers and within Invesco’s own investment units. Additionally, management evaluates Net revenue yield on AUM, which is equal to Net revenues divided by Average AUM during the reporting period, as an indicator of the Net revenues we receive for each dollar of AUM we manage. |
Investment management fees are adjusted by renewal commissions and certain administrative fees. Service and distributions fees are primarily adjusted by distribution fees passed through to broker dealers for certain share classes and pass through fund-related costs. Other revenues are primarily adjusted by transaction fees passed through to third parties. |
96 Invesco Ltd.
2. | Invesco Great Wall: The company reflects 100% of IGW in its Net revenues and Adjusted operating income (and by calculation, Adjusted operating margin). The company’s non-GAAP operating results reflect the economics of these holdings on a basis consistent with the underlying AUM and flows. Adjusted net income is reduced by the amount of earning attributable to the noncontrolling interests. |
3. | CIP: See 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, Note 18, “Consolidated Investment Products,” for a detailed analysis of the impact to the company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the consolidation of CIP. The company believes that the CIP may impact a reader’s analysis of our underlying results of operations and could result in investor confusion or the production of information about the company by analysts or external credit rating agencies that is not reflective of the underlying results of operations and financial condition of the company. Accordingly, the company believes that it is appropriate to adjust Operating revenues and Operating income for the impact of CIP in calculating the respective Net revenues and Adjusted operating income (and by calculation, Adjusted operating margin). |
4. | Transaction, integration and restructuring: The company believes it is useful to adjust for the Transaction, integration and restructuring charges in arriving at Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted diluted EPS, as this will aid comparability of our results period to period, and aid comparability with peer companies that may not have similar acquisition and restructuring related charges. Transaction, integration and restructuring charges were primarily restructuring costs relating to our strategic evaluation which we completed in the first quarter of 2023. |
5. | Amortization and impairment of intangible assets: The company removes amortization and non-cash impairment expense related to acquired assets in arriving at Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS, as this will aid comparability of our results period to period, and aid comparability with peer companies that may not have similar acquisition-related charges. |
6. | Market valuation changes related to deferred compensation plan liabilities: Certain deferred compensation plan awards provide a return to the employee linked to the appreciation (depreciation) of specified investments. The company economically hedges the exposure to market movements on these deferred compensation liabilities. Since these liabilities are economically hedged, the company believes it is useful to remove the market movements related to the deferred compensation plan liabilities from the calculation of Adjusted operating income (and by calculation, Adjusted operating margin) and to remove the net impact of the economic hedge from the calculation of Adjusted net income (and by calculation, Adjusted diluted EPS) to produce results that will be more comparable period to period. |
7. | One-time acceleration of compensation expense for currently outstanding long-term awards: In the third quarter of 2024, the company recorded a one-time non-cash acceleration of Compensation expense of $147.6 million resulting from changes to the retirement criteria for vesting of currently outstanding long-term awards. Due to the non-recurring nature of this item, the company removed this expense in arriving at Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted diluted EPS as this will aid comparability of our results period to period. |
8. | General and administrative: In 2024, the company removed the expense related to the settlement of regulatory matters. In 2023, the company removed insurance recoveries related to fund-related losses incurred in prior periods. Due to the non-recurring nature of these items, the company removed these expenses in arriving at Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS as this will aid comparability of our results period to period. |
9. | Scorecard adjustments in 2023 are for compensation costs related to executive retirements and reorganization decisions that occurred in 2023 as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. |
10. | Operating margin is equal to Operating income divided by Operating revenues. |
11. | Adjusted operating margin is equal to Adjusted operating income divided by Net revenues. |
12. | Scorecard adjusted operating margin is equal to Scorecard adjusted operating income divided by Net revenues. |
13. | Tax adjustment for amortization of intangible assets and goodwill: The company reflects the tax benefit realized on the tax amortization of goodwill and intangible assets in Adjusted net income. The company believes it is useful to include this tax benefit in arriving at the Adjusted diluted EPS measure. |
14. | Adjusted diluted EPS is equal to Adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. divided by the weighted average number of common and restricted common shares outstanding. |
15. | Scorecard adjusted diluted EPS is equal to Scorecard adjusted net income attributable to Invesco Ltd. divided by the weighted average number of common and restricted common shares outstanding. |
