LONDON – Invesco Markets II plc and Legal and general (LON:) UCITS ETF plc recently made a number of share buybacks, according to a statement released by Bank of New York Mellon (NYSE:). The transactions, which involved the repurchase of shares in several funds managed by two investment companies, took place between January 8, 2025 and January 22, 2025.
Invesco Markets II plc has conducted redemptions of a number of its exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with nominal reduced amounts varying from as little as 1,298.00 shares to as high as 1,400,000.00 shares. Following these transactions, the remaining stock balances for these ETFs are adjusted accordingly.
Similarly, the legal and general UCITS ETF plc engaged in repurchases of its shares, with reduction amounts ranging from 5,600.00 shares to a significant 2,280,000.00 shares. The repurchase operations led to new remaining balances for the affected ETFs.
Vanguard Funds plc also engaged in share buybacks during the period, with adjustments to its fund share numbers following the transactions. Discount amounts for Vanguard’s share repurchases ranged from a minimal 1.00 a share to a substantial 400,000.00 shares.
