Key Terms

4 terms
Chairman Emeritus financial
"Following his retirement, Lo will serve as Chairman Emeritus, Asia Pacific"
An honorary title given to a former board chair who has stepped down from daily duties but keeps a formal link to the company; think of it as a respected coach who now mentors the team instead of running practices. For investors, the title signals continuity of experience and potential informal influence on strategy or governance, but it usually does not carry the same legal authority or day-to-day control as an active chair.
assets under management financial
"With US$2.5 trillion in assets under management as of June 30, 2026"
Assets under management (AUM) is the total value of all the investments that a financial company or fund is responsible for overseeing on behalf of its clients. It’s like a big bucket that shows how much money the firm is managing for people or organizations. A higher AUM often indicates a larger, more trusted company, and it can influence how much money they earn and the services they can offer.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This release includes forward-looking statements that are based on information"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
joint ventures financial
"represent Invesco on the Boards of Invesco’s China and India joint ventures"
A joint venture is a business arrangement where two or more companies come together to work on a specific project or goal, sharing both the risks and the rewards. It’s like partners teaming up for a common goal, which can help them access new markets, share expertise, or reduce costs. For investors, joint ventures can create new opportunities but also involve shared responsibilities and potential risks.

Marty Franc will succeed Lo as Senior Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific and will transition into the role during the first quarter of 2027.
Following his retirement, Lo will serve as Chairman Emeritus, Asia Pacific, where he will continue to represent Invesco on the Boards of Invesco’s China and India joint ventures. In this role, he will also help maintain the strong partnerships that have been instrumental to Invesco's success in the region while providing strategic counsel to our Asia Pacific and global leadership.

Through his vision, leadership and unwavering commitment, he helped build the Asia Pacific regional presence into a significant contributor to Invesco's global franchise while developing enduring relationships with clients, partners and employees across the region.
"Andrew's legacy is measured not only by the business he helped build, but by the people he developed, the relationships he nurtured, and the trust he earned throughout the region and across our firm," said Andrew Schlossberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Invesco. "He has left an enduring mark on Invesco, and we are fortunate that his wisdom and counsel will continue to benefit us."
Franc, who will succeed Lo and continue to be based in Hong Kong, is an industry veteran leader with more than 30 years of asset management experience, including 13 years with Invesco. Franc brings extensive global leadership experience across the region, having overseen several key businesses in Asia for Invesco, including responsibility for Australia, Greater China, Southeast Asian markets, and our Institutional client strategy. Prior to Invesco, he held a range of leadership roles in the asset management industry.
"Marty is an exceptional leader who embodies Invesco's culture and has earned the trust and respect of colleagues across our organization," Schlossberg said. "Marty brings a powerful combination of regional expertise, client focus, strategic leadership, and deep knowledge of Invesco's culture and business. Marty is the right leader to build on the strong foundation Andrew
