IVZ AB LAZ CNS

Invesco (IVZ - Free Report) has announced assets under management (AUM) for September 2020. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $1,218.2 billion represents a 2.2% decrease from the previous month.

This was mainly due to unfavorable market returns, which affected the bank’s AUM by $25 billion. Moreover, FX decreased the AUM by $3.1 billion.

Overall net long-term inflows were $1.4 billion. Further, non-management fee earning net inflows came in at $2.1 billion and money market net outflows were $4.2 billion.

Invesco’s preliminary average total AUM for the quarter through Sep 30 was $1,206.2 billion and preliminary average active AUM summed $898.4 billion.

At the end of the reported month, the company’s Equity AUM slid 3.3% from the prior month to $592.4 billion. Balanced AUM for September was $68.1 billion, down 1.4% sequentially.

Alternatives AUM declined 2.2% from the prior month to $172 billion. Moreover, Money Market AUM decreased 3.4% from the previous month to $109.3 billion. However, Fixed Income AUM of $276.4 billion rose marginally from August.

Invesco’s global presence and solid AUM balance augur well for its growth prospects. Nonetheless, lower interest rates and a tough operating backdrop are key concerns.

Shares of the company have declined 8.7% in the past year, as against the 19.7% growth registered by the industry.
