Aviva appoints new fund management chief Aviva's largest investors will hope the appointment of Mr Abberley brings some stability to the company, following Mr Moss's departure over the weekend. He left the company following shareholder discontent over the insurer's performance and executive pay. Mr Moss will leave Aviva at the end of May with a payout worth £1.75m, including 12 month's salary in lieu of a notice period and a final settlement of £300,000. The 54-year-old missed out on bonuses worth a further £2.4m after Aviva's remuneration committee chose not to pay out Mr Moss's share entitlements from 2010 and 2011 bonus schemes in full. The decision appears to have headed off an investor revolt over the terms of Mr Moss's departure. Scott Wheway, chairman of the committee, wrote to some of the group's leading shareholders detailing the decision.
