Absolute Return Fund, and is now the sole sub-investment manager of Aviva
Investors' two convertibles fund offerings.
The Westwood Global Convertibles portfolio management team is led by David Clott
and Shawn Mato. Prior to joining Westwood in 2014, Clott and Mato spent over 10
years at Aviva Investors, where they managed the Aviva Investors Global
