(“Invesco”) announced today that they have completed the formation of their asset management joint venture (“JV”) following IIHL’s acquisition of a 60% ownership stake in Invesco Asset Management India (“IAMI”) following all regulatory approvals and closing conditions. With Invesco retaining the balance 40% stake, both IIHL and Invesco will hold joint sponsor status under the regulatory framework.

IIHL will also deploy the reach of several associate entities of its global shareholders that offer synergistic business operations to widen the customer base by another 50 million.

There will be no change in IAMI’s focus on investment excellence and exceptional client service. The JV will continue to operate under the same management led by Saurabh Nanavati, with the same disciplined and research-driven investment philosophy and processes that have been central to its investment offerings since 2008, ensuring strong continuity for investors, distributors, and other stakeholders. 

Mr Ashok Hinduja, Chairman, IIHL, said, “At IIHL, we are very enthused with this JV with Invesco, to augment our para banking portfolio by including Asset Management, and be a global financial (BFSI) powerhouse by 2030. This is the most opportune time, when India, on the back of rising income levels, favourable demographics, offers enormous investment prospects to all Indians, the diaspora included. We will endeavour to reach the last home, last investor transparently and efficiently and live up to investors' expectation that mutual fund sahi hai”
