Adjusted net revenues declined 11.1% from the prior-year quarter to $1.09 billion. The fall was mainly due to significant market volatility.

Our View

Invesco remains well poised to benefit from its global footprint, product offerings and the OppenheimerFunds buyout. However, mounting expenses and economic slowdown are likely to hurt the company’s financials.
