Invesco Ltd. -- Moody's: Investor shift to alternative investments is credit positive for asset managers
London, 29 January 2014 -- The structural shift among investors toward greater asset allocation to alternative investments will benefit asset managers with expertise in alternative asset classes. Well-established alternative asset managers with proven track records such as Blackstone, KKR, Oaktree and Carlyle will clearly benefit from this marked trend. However, traditional asset managers that have begun building their capabilities in alternative assets, such as BlackRock, Inc. (A1), Invesco Ltd. (A3), Clipper Acquisitions Corp (Ba1), Neuberger Berman Group LLC (Ba1), Franklin Resources, Inc. (A1) and Legg Mason, Inc. (Baa1), will also benefit, says Moody's Investors Service in a new report published today.
