Invesco Collaborates With LGT Capital to Expand Private Markets Access

Invesco Ltd. IVZ has partnered with LGT Capital Partners, a leading privately held global specialist in alternative investing, to boost private markets access for U.S. wealth and retirement investors.LGT Capital has over 25 years of experience, investing on behalf of more than 700 institutional clients across 50 countries. The firm has built strong capabilities in managing multi-alternative and evergreen portfolios throughout various market environments, supported by relationships with more than 800 general partners.Together, Invesco and LGT Capital intend to create a multi-alternative private markets offering, starting with a focus on the U.S. wealth and retirement segments. By leveraging their combined strengths, the partnership aims to make private markets more accessible through robust portfolio solutions and better investor education.Andrew Schlossberg, CEO of Invesco, stated, “We believe private markets exposure can provide differentiated sources of income and growth. Together with LGT Capital Partners, we plan to bring more innovative solutions in asset classes traditionally reserved for institutional allocators to a broader set of U.S. wealth and retirement investors.”This move aligns with Invesco’s efforts to grow its assets under management (AUM), which, in turn, would boost its revenues. In April 2025, the company collaborated with MassMutual’s subsidiary, Barings, to boost private credit offerings. Additionally, efforts to convert Invesco QQQ Trust from a unit investment trust to an open-end exchange-traded fund enable it to earn revenues and profits rather than just recouping marketing costs.Invesco’s Price Performance and Zacks RankShares of IVZ have soared 74.2% in the past six months against the industry’s decline of 4.2%.Image Source: Zacks Investment ResearchAt present, Invesco carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
