About

Invesco Canada is a major investment bank and part of the global Invesco brand. Located in Toronto, its team of in-house lawyers is primarily responsible for delivering top quality advice to Invesco and its subsidiaries in Canada. In particular it is adept at advice regarding investment funds including mutual funds, exchange traded funds, hedge funds and venture capital funds. Highly experienced in securities law, IP and investment management, the team is recognised for its commercial focus when handling the company’s major deals in the last year. For example, in April 2018, the team consulted on Invesco’s acquisition of Guggenheim Investment’s exchange-traded funds (ETF) business in the US, increasing the firm’s own ETF assets to US$215.3bn and the overall assets of the company to US$984.2bn. This in turn brought about the launch of Invesco’s ETF launch, Canada’s first exchange traded fund to provide equal-weight exposure to the S&P 500 companies, a major development of the industry in Canada.
