Van Kampen Becomes a June Bride
As expected, Invesco today completed its acquisition
of Van Kampen Investments and the rest of Morgan Stanley's
retail asset management business. Invesco gave Morgan Stanley $800 million in cash and 30.9 million Invesco shares.
In August of last year, chatter erupted that Van Kampen was on the block. The deal with Invesco was announced in October.
