Invesco posted organic growth of 6.5% year to date in its third quarter of 2026, with more than half of net long-term inflows coming from outside the US, mainly EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Operating margin rose to 40.7% as net revenue climbed 4% sequentially while adjusted operating expenses fell 1%. Its ETF and index business hit a record $775 billion in assets under management, growing 15% annualised, helped by demand for the QQQ suite. The China joint venture reached record assets of $166 billion. Invesco used a $1.5 billion five-year floating rate term loan to repurchase preferred stock from MassMutual, paying a 12.5% premium. It expects the deal to add to earnings by 2027, reaching a $0.20 earnings-per-share run rate once the loan is repaid. Management targets margins in the high 30s and a payout ratio of about 60% of net income.

Invesco is working with Anthropic to make its portfolio and practice management tools available through Claude for Financial Advisors. The asset manager announced the new connector on October 27, 2026. Advisors who use Invesco's Model Portfolios can access portfolio information directly in Claude.

Capchase, a vendor financing platform for enterprise technology, has launched Mila, an AI deal desk that works around the clock. Vendors can email Mila a quote, mention her in Slack, or chat at finance.new to get a priced proposal, a buyer credit decision, and ready-to-sign paperwork in seconds. The company says financing a deal still runs on bank hours, in a vendor and equipment financing market worth $1.3 trillion. Mila is free to all Capchase vendors, and has handled more than 75% of the deal desk's financing actions since beta began this summer. Capchase also announced $200M+ in incremental funding, a mix of debt warehouse facilities and equity, to scale its financing infrastructure and add AI features.
