Invesco Unifies Global Solutions Under New Custom Strategies Platform
The $2.5 trillion asset manager is bringing model portfolios, separately managed accounts and bespoke institutional mandates under one global structure, reflecting client demand for fewer managers and deeper customisation.
Invesco Ltd. (NYSE: IVZ) has announced an advancement of Invesco Solutions & Custom Strategies, a unified global platform intended to deliver bespoke investment solutions to clients across wealth and institutional channels. The open-architecture platform combines Invesco's public and private markets, and active and passive, capabilities to deliver a tailored client experience. It builds on the firm's existing customisation work across multi-asset strategies, model portfolios, separately managed accounts, tax-advantaged solutions and bespoke institutional mandates. Invesco reports US$2.5 trillion in assets under management as of 30 June 2026 and serves clients in more than 120 countries.
New leadership appointments
Clint Harris has been appointed to a newly created role as Global Head of Solutions & Custom Strategies, reporting to Stephanie Butcher, Co-Head of Investments at Invesco. Harris will be responsible for uniting Invesco's investment capabilities and strengthening the connection between portfolio construction expertise and client engagement across regions and channels. Darby Nielson has also joined the firm and the team as CIO of Multi-Asset Solutions, reporting to Harris, bringing more than 20 years of experience in investment strategy and research.
Butcher said the platform "strengthens the connection between our global investment platform and the specific outcomes our clients are seeking" and that uniting existing customisation capabilities into a single, globally coordinated offering would help the firm "partner with clients on increasingly sophisticated portfolio needs while maintaining our focus on investment excellence and disciplined risk management." Harris said the aim was to accelerate the firm's ability "to deliver tailored solutions, deepen client relationships, and help drive strong outcomes."
Why it matters for private wealth
Invesco's repositioning reflects a wider trend among large asset managers of consolidating bespoke portfolio construction into a single client-facing structure, as asset owners and intermediaries seek deeper relationships with fewer managers and greater customisation aligned to specific objectives. For wealth managers and family offices, a technology-forward, integrated delivery model across model portfolios, separately managed accounts and tax-advantaged solutions can simplify manager selection and due diligence, though the practical value will depend on execution once the newly appointed leadership team is in place.
