Invesco IVZ has announced preliminary assets under management (AUM) for February 2024. The company’s month-end AUM of $1.63 trillion represented a 3% rise from the previous month.

IVZ delivered net long-term inflows of $1.8 billion in February. Non-management fee-earning net inflows were $1.9 billion and money market net inflows were $3.5 billion.

Additionally, Invesco’s AUM was positively impacted by favorable market returns, which raised AUM by $42 billion. However, FX affected the AUM balance by $2.6 billion.

Invesco’s preliminary average total AUM in the quarter through Feb 29 was $1.59 trillion, and the preliminary average active AUM came in at $975.8 billion.

At the end of February, IVZ’s Equity AUM was $871.9 billion, rising 4.9% from the previous month. Also, fixed Income AUM of $325.1 billion increased 0.3% sequentially.

Further, Invesco’s Balanced AUM for February was $61.4 billion, up 3.2% from January 2024-end. Money Market AUM grew 1.8% from the prior-month end to $194.7 billion. However, Alternatives AUM fell 0.3% to $177.8 billion.

Several macroeconomic headwinds have been leading to a volatile trend in net flows, which, along with a tough operating environment, might hurt Invesco’s top line in the near term. Yet, synergies from buyouts, diverse product offerings and alternative investment strategies, the company's global presence and solid AUM balance will likely keep aiding it.

Over the past six months, shares of Invesco have rallied 3.2%, underperforming the industry’s growth of 22.5%.
