Rita Whig was named head of U.S. equities at INVESCO Perpetual. The group’s U.S. equity assets have been temporarily managed by other INVESCO units since the defection earlier this year of Perpetual’s U.S. equity team to Schroders, said Jane Bland, INVESCO Perpetual spokeswoman.
Ms. Whig was head of North American equities at Royal London Asset Management. It has not yet been decided if she will be directly replaced, said Philip Lawlor, acting head of U.S. equities at Royal London.
