Administrative Proceeding
Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 203(e) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order
On September 24, 2024, the SEC instituted settled administrative and cease-and-desist proceedings against Invesco Distributors, Inc. and Invesco Advisers, Inc., stating: "These proceedings arise out of the widespread and longstanding failure of
Respondents' personnel, including at senior levels, to adhere to certain of these essential
requirements and Respondents' own policies and procedures. Using their personal devices, these
employees communicated both internally and externally by text messages and/or other
unapproved written communications platforms, such as WhatsApp ("off-channel
communications")."

Commission Order and Opinion
Order Denying Motions to Modify or Amend and Stay Settled Orders
The Commission says Respondents "signed offers of settlement, in which Respondents admitted to certain violations related to their employees' communications on personal devices." "Respondents now seek to (1) modify their Settled Orders . . . and (2) stay the effectiveness of their undertakings" in order to "'equalize' certain undertakings . . . with those contained in more recent Commission settlements." However, the Commission "den[ied] Respondents' motions."
