Invesco Expands Its Active Fixed Income Line-Up

Invesco Ltd. (NYSE: IVZ), one of the prominent asset management firms globally, has revealed an expansion of its active fixed income platform with the introduction of two new actively managed ETFs. The Invesco Core Fixed Income ETF (GTOC) and the Invesco Intermediate Municipal ETF (INTM) were officially launched on July 23, 2025. This expansion underscores Invesco's dedication to providing diverse choices for investors, enhancing its existing portfolio while managing over $491 billion globally across various instruments, including ETFs, mutual funds, and separately managed accounts (SMAs).

Aims and Objectives

Both ETFs represent significant additions to Invesco’s growing suite of fixed income products. Stephanie Larosiliere, the Head of Fixed Income Business Strategy at Invesco, articulated the firm's commitment to active fixed income management, emphasizing the knowledge and expertise of their in-house teams.

GTOC aims to serve as a foundational element in investors' portfolios, focusing on high-quality U.S. investment-grade fixed income instruments. Conversely, INTM is designed to provide federally tax-exempt income by primarily investing at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade municipal bonds rated BBB or higher, thereby ensuring high credit quality with an intermediate duration.

Managing with Expertise

These new ETFs are managed by Invesco's distinguished U.S. Investment Grade and Municipal Bond teams, consisting of a proficient workforce of 182 members, averaging 18 years of industry experience. The firm has long been recognized for its high-quality asset management strategies, dating back to its pioneering efforts in active ETFs, which began in 2008. Through these efforts, Invesco has continually expanded its lineup of innovative fixed income offerings, including notable products such as:

• - Invesco Core Plus Bond ETF (GTO)
• - Invesco Short Duration Total Return Bond ETF (GTOS)
• - Invesco Ultra Short Duration ETF (GSY)
• - Invesco AAA CLO Floating Rate Note ETF (ICLO)
• - Invesco Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF (VRIG)
• - Invesco Municipal Strategic Income ETF (IROC)

The broad array of fixed income strategies offered also extends to mutual funds, featuring products such as Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund (ACTHX) and Invesco Rochester Municipal Opportunities Fund (ORNYX), alongside tailored SMAs.

Responding to Market Trends

According to Jason Stoneberg, Head of Product for the Americas at Invesco, the company aims to meet the evolving preferences of clients, who are increasingly leaning towards both active and passive investment strategies. The introduction of these ETFs aligns with broader market trends where fixed income plays a pivotal role in portfolio construction.

Both GTOC and INTM provide unique solutions that offer flexibility and customization through the ETF framework, allowing investors to diversify their portfolios efficiently. As the market demands for active fixed income strategies are at an all-time high, Invesco aims to position itself as a key player in this sector.

Conclusion

With the launch of GTOC and INTM, Invesco significantly reinforces its commitment to offering innovative, actively managed fixed income solutions that cater to the dynamic needs of modern investors. As the financial landscape continues to evolve, Invesco's proactive approach highlights its dedication to client-centric investment strategies, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of the asset management industry.
