Invesco achieved a record high in assets under management (AUM) at \(2.0 trillion, marking an 8.5% increase from the prior quarter and a substantial 16.6% rise year-over-year. The firm generated \)15.6 billion in net long-term inflows during Q2 2025, driven primarily by ETFs and Index funds (\(12.6 billion), China JV & India (\)5.6 billion), Fundamental Fixed Income (\(2.8 billion), and Multi-Asset/Other (\)0.5 billion). These inflows were partially offset by outflows in Fundamental Equities (\(3.6 billion) and Private Markets (\)2.3 billion).
Geographically, the Asia Pacific and EMEA regions contributed net long-term inflows of \(9.8 billion and \)6.6 billion respectively, while the Americas region experienced a net outflow of \(0.8 billion. Market gains and favorable foreign exchange movements further boosted AUM by \)126.4 billion and $14.0 billion respectively.
Operating revenues for Q2 2025 stood at \(1.516 billion, a slight decrease of 0.9% from the previous quarter but a 2.2% increase compared to Q2 2024. Operating income was \)214.2 million, down 22.8% sequentially but up 3.6% year-over-year. The operating margin was 14.1%, with an adjusted operating margin of 31.2%, reflecting effective cost control and operational efficiency.
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was a loss of \(0.03, negatively impacted by \)159.3 million in costs related to the repurchase of \(1.0 billion of Series A Preferred Stock. Adjusted diluted EPS was \)0.36, down 18.2% from the previous quarter and 16.3% from the prior year.
Invesco continued its capital return strategy by repurchasing 1.7 million common shares for \(25 million and completing the repurchase of \)1.0 billion of Series A Preferred Stock held by MassMutual. The company also renegotiated its revolving credit agreement, increasing capacity from \(2.0 billion to \)2.5 billion and extending maturity to May 2030.
Employee compensation expenses increased by 9.9% sequentially, driven by mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities and severance costs related to the reorganization of fundamental equities investment teams. Marketing and technology expenses also saw increases, reflecting investments in growth and innovation.
Invesco’s President and CEO Andrew Schlossberg emphasized the firm’s global scale and diversified product offerings as key drivers of sustained organic growth, even amid market volatility. The strategic focus on ETFs, index funds, and emerging markets like China and India positions Invesco well for future expansion.
The repurchase of preferred stock and share buybacks have strengthened Invesco’s balance sheet, with total debt increasing to \(1.88 billion due to new bank term loans funding the preferred stock repurchase. Cash and cash equivalents rose to \)922.7 million, supporting liquidity and operational flexibility.
Invesco Ltd.’s Q2 2025 results reflect a resilient investment management firm leveraging its global footprint and diversified asset base to drive growth. While EPS was impacted by one-time repurchase costs, the underlying business fundamentals remain strong, with record AUM and positive net inflows signaling robust investor confidence.
