This is a big year for the Invesco Funds board, as Invesco's acquisition of OppenheimerFunds is due to close this quarter and then the post-deal work will begin in earnest—including merging the two OppenheimerFunds boards into the two Invesco Funds boards. In the midst of all the deal-related work the Invesco Funds board is surely doing, the directors also have had to handle succession planning as independent Chairman Bruce Crockett hits mandatory retirement age this year. Crockett will stay on an extra year to see the board through the acquisition, but he'll work closely with newly named vice chairman and heir apparent Christopher Wilson, who spoke with us recently about some of what's been going on inside the Invesco Funds boardroom.
