HL group comment: INVESCO PERPETUAL
Our view on this Fund Management Group as a whole
The company was formed by the merger of Invesco and Perpetual in December 2000 following the acquisition of the two companies by Amvescap. In the UK alone the group manages over 40 funds, and with £29.2 billion worth of funds under management this makes them one of the largest unit trust companies in the UK. The group trades as Amvescap outside the UK and has a web of world-wide offices in over 30 countries which few investment groups can match. This is a group that has excelled in managing UK equities and we expect the performance to continue.

Our view on this sector
The effects of the credit crunch have finally filtered into the real economy, despite this (and because of the high oil price for most of the year) BP recently posted record profits and a large dividend increase. Elsewhere the FTSE has been suffering huge volatility as banks and latterly mining companies have taken large tumbles. Recent Government intervention in the banking sector should hopefully unfreeze the plumbing in the financial world and provide the wider economy the chance to pull out of a recession.
