Read MoreHide Full Article

Invesco (IVZ - Free Report) recently announced assets under management (AUM) for May 2020. The company’s preliminary month-end AUM of $1,142.5 billion represents a 2.1% increase from the previous month.

The rise was driven by favorable market returns, which in turn led to an increase in AUM by $33 billion. However, FX lowered AUM by $1.4 billion.

Overall net long-term outflows were $4.2 billion and money market net outflows were $5.0 billion. Conversely, non-management fee earning net inflows were $1.5 billion.

Invesco’s preliminary average total AUM for the quarter through May was $1,101.5 billion and preliminary average active AUM totaled $838.3 billion.

At the end of the reported month, the company’s Equity AUM increased 4.5% from the prior month to $532.9 billion. Balanced AUM for April was $59.9 billion, up 4% sequentially.

Also, Alternatives AUM grew 1.2% from the prior month to $169 billion. Fixed Income AUM of $261.9 billion also rose 0.8% from the previous month. However, Money Market AUM declined 4.3% from the prior month to $118.8 billion.

Improving AUM balance, strategic acquisitions and increasing global presence augur well for the company’s prospects. However, coronavirus-related concerns remain a major headwind.

Shares of Invesco have lost 38% so far this year compared with a 0.2% decline recorded by the industry.
