What Happened

• Invesco Ltd. filed a Form 8-K on August 31, 2026 announcing that Andrew Lo has decided to retire effective March 31, 2027. Mr. Lo will step down as Senior Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific on a date during the first quarter of 2027 to be determined.
• Martin Franc, currently CEO Australia, Greater China and Southeast Asia, will succeed Mr. Lo after a transition period and be appointed Senior Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific on that date.
• The company and Mr. Lo expect to enter an agreement under which, following his retirement, Mr. Lo will serve as Chairman Emeritus for Asia Pacific, perform certain services related to Invesco’s joint ventures in China and India, and provide strategic counsel. Invesco also issued a press release about the changes on August 31, 2026.

Key Details

• Filing date: August 31, 2026 (Form 8-K; press release issued same day).
• Retirement effective date: March 31, 2027 (Andrew Lo).
• Successor: Martin Franc (current CEO Australia, Greater China & Southeast Asia).
