Ayres will oversee ClariVest’s daily management.
She will be supported in this role by CIO of non-US and global strategies David Vaughn and CIO of US and alternatives strategies Todd Wolter.
Meanwhile, ClariVest CEO and CIO Stacey Nutt will serve as senior adviser.
“Carillon Tower’s approach of providing scalable business support to autonomous investment teams puts ClariVest in a strong position to continue delivering the highest quality investment advice and results to our clients,” Ayres stated.
The transaction will be effective from this April.
