Overview
Invesco Global Equity Income (formerly Invesco Select Global Equity Income : IVPG) aims to provide a diversified portfolio of global companies aiming for capital growth and predictable income
The company says that the benefits of the approach are:
- A focus on finding quality companies at attractive prices that can grow cashflows, to provide income and growth for investors.
- A high-conviction, high active share, globally diversified portfolio of around 40-45 holdings spread across sectors, geographies and market capitalisation.
- An annual dividend target of at least 4% (paid quarterly and calculated on the unaudited year end NAV) set by IGET’s Board, ensuring a focus on delivering predictable income.
The word ‘Perpetual’ was dropped from the company’s name on 3 March 2021 and Select dropped in 2024 when the various asset classes within the Select portfolio were merged into this one.
