AMC

AMC: Invesco PMS (click link for detailed AMC review)

Not a top recommendation due to being an MF-driven PMS: While Invesco AMC does benefit from a strong research process and differentiated portfolios, the core investment team has only been together for a few years. It also suffers from common ailments of large MF-driven PMS houses (PMS as an add-on instead of a clearly segregated business unit, churn in the investment team and a lack of skin in the game for the CIO). While it has the potential to become a strong AMC PMS player, it is still too early in terms of leadership change to recommend large investments in Invesco strategies.
