Invesco Global Equity Fund Strategy update

An equity fund investment strategy includes staying abreast of AI and data demands, analyzing markets for potential long-term performance, and navigating the current macro environment.

Big and small AI opportunities

AI is an important trend, and while the portfolio includes Microsoft and Amazon, it also provides exposure to lesser-known businesses that are benefiting from growing AI demand, like Broadcom. This firm offers a cheaper and more efficient version of proprietary customized chips to companies such as Meta and Google. Another company, Amphenol, provides connectors and interconnects, and about 20% of its business sells to the data center industry.

The US is an attractive market

There are several reasons why the US has been and, we think, will remain a relatively good place to invest. It’s a big market, meaning businesses’ growth potential is greater, and investors aren’t paying a scarcity premium since there are many good companies. There’s a lot of liquidity in the market, and it’s a great culture of innovation. Also, there’s one language — one homogenous market — and standardized reporting, so companies don't have to translate the packaging into many languages and abide by a lot of regulations.

Portfolio management during downturns

We manage portfolios from a top-down perspective. We try to avoid taking macro views or predicting anything, but we aim to be aware of different scenarios and risks and how they might impact us. Economic downturns, which are part and parcel of the investment cycle, can create opportunities. Therefore, should the market give us an opportunity as we observe companies, we'll be ready to capitalize on it.
