Invesco Mutual Fund Gets SEBI Nod for 60% Stake Transfer to IIHL – Kya Badlega Investors Ke Liye?
A big news has come out in the financial market which can directly impact the investors. Invesco Mutual Fund has finally got the green signal from SEBI to transfer its controlling stake. This stake transfer will be of 60 percent and this part will go to IndusInd International Holdings Ltd (IIHL). After this approval, doors of new opportunities are expected to open in the market, especially for those investors who want to invest with long-term growth and strong domestic partners.
Invesco Mutual Fund Stake Transfer: Meaning of Sebi Approval
According to sources, Sebi has approved the Invesco Mutual Fund stake transfer proposal, in which 60% controlling stake of the company will go to IIHL. This stake will be held through IIHL’s wholly-owned subsidiary IIHL AMC Holdings Limited. This subsidiary has been specifically created for this proposed combination.
Sebi has not only allowed the stake transfer, but has also approved the appointment of new directors on the board of Invesco Trustee Company. This step has been taken to further strengthen the governance and compliance standards.
Invesco Mutual Fund and IIHL Combination
In August 2024, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) had given approval to IIHL to acquire stake in Invesco’s AMC and Trustee company. This deal is being considered a landmark combination for the mutual fund industry, where a foreign AMC will get the backing of a strong Indian business group.
IIHL is a global business licensee company registered in Mauritius which primarily does investment holding activities. It invests in different sectors and now together with Invesco, it is going to make its footprint stronger in the Indian mutual fund market.
Invesco Mutual Fund’s Journey in India
If we talk about Invesco’s India story, then this journey started in 2008 when the company acquired Lotus India Asset Management Company. Since then, Invesco has been growing steadily and is currently connected with more than 1.6 million retail investor folios and more than 39,000 distributors. As per April 2024 data, more than 70% of the company’s assets are invested in equity and equity-oriented schemes.
As of March 31, 2024, Invesco has combined onshore and offshore advisory assets of ₹85,393 crore, and the company has presence in 40 cities of the country. This clearly shows that Invesco Mutual Fund is diversifying its investor base as well as expanding to tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India.
Impact of IIHL Ownership on Investor
IIHL has already shown its strong presence in the Indian financial sector. Earlier this year, the company acquired Reliance Capital Ltd and its subsidiaries, which included businesses like life insurance, health insurance, general insurance and asset reconstruction. This acquisition was finalized in May 2025 after NCLT approval.
Now the partnership with Invesco gives IIHL another strong foothold and brings the advantage of a trusted domestic partner for Invesco. Through this combination, Invesco Mutual Fund will have the opportunity to take its products and services to more cities and towns, making investment opportunities even more accessible to retail investors.
Future of Invesco in Indian Mutual Fund Market
Today, Invesco is the 5th largest foreign asset manager in India and has established itself as the 17th largest domestic asset manager. With the support of IIHL, Invesco Mutual Fund can grow its scale even faster.
This partnership creates a balance – on the one hand the global experience and expertise of Invesco, and on the other hand the deep understanding and reach of the Indian market that IIHL provides. For investors, this means better services, more innovation, and a strong and trusted setup in which their investments will feel secure.
