Background:
|
Empower Investments is the research and investment division of Empower, a retirement plan recordkeeper. (Empower, in turn, is a subsidiary of publicly traded Canadian insurer Great-West Lifeco, which is part of the Power Financial empire controlled by the Desmarais family.)
Empower Investments powers the Empower Funds, a subadvised mutual fund family. The fund family was previously known as the Great-West Funds (from what was then Great-West Investments) and before that as the Maxim Funds. After the Empower Retirement name shortened to Empower in 2022, the retirement plan provider launched the Empower Investments and Empower Funds brands, with Empower Capital Management (ECM, fka Great-West Capital Management) as the funds' investment advisor.
Before that, in 2016 Great-West Financial launched the Great-West Investments arm, encompassing Advised Assets Group (which later became Empower Advisory Group) and Great-West Capital Management. That rebranding was in the wake of the 2015 formation of Empower out of the combination of recordkeeping businesses from J.P. Morgan, Great-West, and Putnam (then a sister company to Great-West).
Empower Investments' product offerings include: annuities (both deferred income and variable), asset allocation solutions (including target date and target risk funds), retirement income solutions, retirement plan managed accounts, stable value funds, and traditional stock and bond mutual funds. And GWCM does use third-party subadvisors for some of the Great-West Funds. Sister company Empower Advisory Group powers the recordkeeper's managed account offerings, and Empower Financial Services, Inc. (fka GWFS Equities) serves as the funds' distributor.
