Invesco Ltd.

Invesco is a leading independent global investment management company, dedicated to helping people worldwide build their financial security. By delivering the combined power of our distinctive worldwide investment management capabilities, Invesco provides a comprehensive array of enduring investment products for retail, institutional and high-net-worth clients around the world. Operating in 20 countries, Invesco had $423.1 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of December 31, 2009.

The key drivers of success for Invesco are long-term investment performance and client service delivered across a diverse spectrum of investment management capabilities, distribution channels, geographic areas and market exposures. By achieving success in these areas, we seek to generate positive net flows, increased AUM and associated revenues. We are affected significantly by market movements, which are beyond our control; however, we endeavor to mitigate the impact of market movement by offering broad investment capability, client and geographical diversification. We measure relative investment performance by comparing our investment capabilities to competing products, industry benchmarks and client investment objectives. Generally, distributors, investment advisors and consultants take into consideration longer-term investment performance (e.g., three-year and five-year performance) in their selection of investment product and manager recommendations to their customers, although shorter-term performance may also be an important consideration. Third-party ratings may also have an influence on client investment decisions. Quality of client service is monitored in a variety of ways, including periodic client satisfaction surveys, analysis of response times and redemption rates, competitive benchmarking of services and feedback from investment consultants.

Strategy

The company focuses on four key strategic priorities that are designed to further strengthen our business and help ensure our long-term success:
•Achieve strong investment performance over the long term for our clients;
•Deliver the combined power of our distinctive investment management capabilities anywhere in the world to meet our clients’ needs;
•Unlock the power of our global operating platform by simplifying our processes and procedures and further integrating the support structures of our business globally; and
•Continue to build a high-performance organization by fostering greater transparency, accountability and execution at all levels.

Over the past four years, Invesco has taken a number of steps to leverage the individual strengths of our distinct investment centers and present the organization as a single firm to our clients around the world. We believe these changes have strengthened Invesco’s ability to operate more efficiently and effectively as an integrated, global organization.
Since we take a unified approach to our business, we are presenting our financial statements and other disclosures under the single operating segment “asset management.”
