In two newly-created roles, Doug Sharp has assumed leadership of the EMEA retail arm, which includes the firm’s UK and cross-border operations, while Colin Fitzgerald joins as head of Invesco’s institutional EMEA business.
In the fall-out from the changes, Trevers resigned from his position as head of UK retail after 20 years at the firm.
Explaining the decision, Invesco said it believes that the unified management structure will allow it to provide a better service for clients.
Sharp and Fitzgerald take up their new roles with immediate effect, both reporting to Invesco Perpetual CEO Mark Armour.
Sharp was formerly Invesco’s head of cross-border retail and EMEA strategy, having served in various roles at the firm since joining from McKinsey & Co in 2008.
Fitzgerald joins from a head of institutional berth at Fidelity Worldwide Investment, prior to which he held positions with Pyramis Global Advisors and Robeco.
