Following a recent Morningstar Analyst Ratings meeting, we have moved the Morningstar Analyst Rating™ of the Aviva Investors Global Convertibles fund to Neutral. The fund was previously Under Review following the departure of co-managers David Clott and Shawn Mato.  London-based co-manager, Justin Craib-Cox, who was running the fund alongside the duo has since been appointed lead manager. Mr Craib-Cox was previously responsible for European convertibles and we are concerned by the considerable increase in his workload, which is only partly alleviated by increased support from Aviva’s equity and credit teams. The company is looking to recruit additional convertibles specialists, however, our limited visibility on the ultimate structure of the team, combined with Mr Craib-Cox’s workload, lead us to a Neutral rating.
