Invesco IVZ announced preliminary assets under management (AUM) for April 2023. The company’s month-end AUM of $1,484.3 billion represented a marginal increase from the previous month.

Invesco’s strong global presence, solid AUM balance and initiatives to capitalize on investors’ demand for different investment strategies poise it well for growth.
