8 Nov 2024 Invesco Advisers, Inc.Invesco Advisers: 17.5 million USD for inflated ESG integration percentages USAMisleading environmental and sustainability claims €16.2m

From 2020 to 2022, Invesco told clients that 70 to 94 per cent of the parent company's assets under management were ‘ESG integrated’, but counted passive ETFs that did not take ESG into account and had no written definition of ESG integration. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) imposed 17.5 million USD, a censure and a cease-and-desist order.
