History

The company was founded by Martyn Arbib as Perpetual Limited in 1973. [1] [2] In 2001, Arbib sold the business to the American Amvescap Group, which was renamed Invesco in 2008. [3]

Queen Elizabeth II visited the company in 1998 to open its new headquarters, after opening the nearby River and Rowing Museum. [4] Invesco Perpetual and The Arbib Foundation are benefactors of the museum. [4]

The Invesco Perpetual name was retired in 2018, as Invesco moved to operate all of its brands under the name Invesco. [5]
