Mr. Crockett was recognized for his leadership in the successful integration of four new directors from Van Kampen to the Invesco Funds Board and his role in shepherding the directors through a series of processes as a result of Invesco's acquisition of Morgan Stanley's retail asset management business, including Van Kampen Investments.

During this time, Mr. Crockett supervised the consolidation of funds, which led to economies of scale being recognized for fund shareholders.

"We congratulate Bruce on this significant industry recognition," said Phil Taylor, Senior Managing Director for Invesco Ltd. and Head of Invesco's North American retail business. "Under Bruce's leadership, the Invesco Funds Board has emphasized the value of fiduciary partnership in our ongoing efforts to put investors first and provide fund shareholders with enduring financial solutions and excellent service."

Mr. Crockett has served in his role as independent chair since 2004 and on the Invesco Funds Board and its predecessors since 1978. He also represents the Independent Directors Council on the Investment Company Institute's board of governors.
