Invesco Global Liquidity has evolved a very disciplined investment process over the years. This has been an essential part of ensuring the preservation of principal value of our clients' cash. At the centre of this is Invesco Global Liquidity's conservative philosophy and strong belief that credit should be managed separately from that of achieving performance.

Invesco Global Liquidity's in-house credit department researches, analyses, approves and continually monitors an Approved Credit list which feeds into the dedicated portfolio teams in both the UK and US which use it to maximise the yield and manage the liquidity of the funds.

Recognising that ease of access is essential; Invesco has established relationships with numerous banks, treasury systems, electronic trading platforms and money brokers to provide clients with an efficient and seamless interface with the funds. This can facilitate clients incorporating the funds into their treasury administration.

Risk Warnings:

The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. An investment in a money market fund (MMF) is not guaranteed. An investment in a MMF is different from an investment in deposits and is capable of fluctuation; as a result, investors may not get back the full amount invested. A MMF does not rely on external support for guaranteeing the liquidity of the fund or stabilising the net asset value (NAV) per unit or share. The risk of loss of the principal is to be borne by the investor.
