Invesco Gets The Green Light to Re-org Two Funds

by: Erin Kello

Invesco [profile] has received shareholder approval to reorganize two of its funds. Each new fund will bear both the Invesco and Van Kampen names.

The Invesco High Income Municipal Fund will be rolled into the Invesco Van Kampen High Yield Municipal Fund, and the Invesco U.S. Mid Cap Value Fund will be rolled into the Invesco Van Kampen American Value Fund.

Invesco purchased Morgan Stanley's retail asset management business in 2009 in a $1.5 billion deal that included Van Kampen Investments [see "Invesco Pulls the Trigger on Van Kampen Deal", MFWire, Oct. 2009].
