A senior investing leader is saying goodbye to the folks at a publicly traded, $1.5853-trillion-AUM (as of December 31) fund firm.

Kevin Cronin has retired from Invesco [profile] "after 27 amazing years," he confirms in a LinkedIn post. He most recently served as head of equity investments at the Atlanta-based asset manager.

MFWire has learned that James Kennedy, COO for fundamental equities, now manages North America and EMEA in a global capacity.

"To all of my friends and valued colleagues at Invesco — thank you for your hard work, support, encouragement, friendship and resolute dedication to our clients over the years," Cronin writes in his post. "So much of what I have accomplished was enabled by you. You are the highlight of my time at Invesco, and it is because of my faith in you that I have a strong belief that the best days for Invesco are seen looking forward, not looking behind. I wish each of you the very best going forward."

While I am finished with this chapter, this book is far from over. There are so many new and exciting things to pursue — and I have too much energy, passion, and value left to give the working world, to simply fade into the background. I have had a number of inquiries — for now I plan to take some time off to think about exactly what I want to do going forward. Funny, I have gotten more career advice in the last few months than in the prior 20 years. If you have thoughts and ideas, I am happy to hear them — honestly it would be great to hear from you irrespective of that.

Cronin first joined Invesco in 1997, when AIM was acquired by the firm. He is an alumnus of Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management and of Indiana University Bloomington.
