Invesco will continue to operate as an independent consultancy firm under its existing brand even after the Irish Life’s investment. The deal will also not lead to any changes in the company’s senior leadership team.
Great-West Lifeco president and CEO Paul Mahon said: “Irish Life is the leading provider of life insurance, pensions and investments in Ireland and we are pleased to extend our position further with this strategic investment in Invesco.”
Irish Life Group chief executive David Harney added: “Invesco is a company with a strong track record of providing expert advisory and consultancy services to the Irish pensions and investment market and we are delighted to enter into this strategic partnership.
