European equities fund manager John Surplice will take over the management of the team, stepping-up effective immediately, to co-manage through the transition. Surplice has been with Invesco for 24 years and currently co-manages five European equity funds for the group.

As well as heading up the European Equities team, Taylor currently co-manages the Invesco European Equity fund with Surplice, who will take over sole management of the fund from the end of the year.

Taylor also co-manages the Luxemburg-listed Invesco Euro Equity fund with Oliver Collin, who will take over sole management of the fund from the end of the year.

Invesco has also confirmed today that fund manager James Rutland has joined the European Equities team from Schroders. Rutland will join Surplice to co-manage the Invesco European Opportunities fund and the Luxemburg listed Invesco Pan European Focus fund from 30 June 2020.

Rutland brings additional expertise to the European Equities team at Invesco.
