History
Invesco (then officially spelled with all-capital letters: INVESCO) was founded in Atlanta in 1978 when Citizens & Southern National Bank divested its money management operations.[4] In 1988, the company was purchased by the British firm Britannia Arrow, based in London, which later took the INVESCO name.[5] In 1997 INVESCO PLC merged with AIM Investments.[6]
