Invesco Mutual Fund Halts Fresh Investments in 3 International Schemes

Invesco Mutual Fund has announced a temporary suspension on fresh investments in 3 of its international schemes. This decision aims to prevent surpassing the regulatory limits on overseas investments. 

Details of the Suspension 

The suspension affects fresh lump sum purchases, switch-ins, and registration of new Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), Systematic Transfer Plans (STPs), and IDCW Transfer Plans in the following schemes: Invesco India - Invesco Global Equity Income Fund of Fund, Invesco India - Invesco Pan European Equity Fund of Fund, and Invesco India - Invesco Global Consumer Trends Fund of Fund. This measure is effective from the close of business hours on January 2, 2026. 

The fund house has clarified that this is a temporary measure and will remain in place until further notice. The decision aligns with SEBI's guidelines, which allow Asset Management Companies (AMCs) to invest in overseas funds up to the headroom available without breaching the limits as of February 1, 2022. 

What Remains Unaffected 

Despite the suspension, investors can still carry out switch-outs, redemptions, and switch between plans or options within the affected schemes. Additionally, the registration of new Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWPs) and the processing of instalments for existing SWPs will continue as usual.  

Similarly, instalments for existing SIPs, STPs, and IDCW Transfer Plans registered before January 2, 2026, will be processed without interruption. 

Reason Behind the Suspension 

The primary reason for this suspension is to avoid breaching the regulatory limit set for overseas investments.  

By temporarily halting fresh investments, Invesco Mutual Fund aims to manage its international exposure effectively and remain compliant with SEBI regulations.
