Lombard Odier, which manages £2 billion in fixed-income assets from its London office, has added two analysts in response to growth. Gary Brecknell, who joins from Bear Stearns, will cover financials and Darren Stevens, who joins from Standard Chartered Bank, will cover industrials. Both report to Martin Squires, head of credit research, says Paul Osborne, head of U.K. institutional clients. "As the business grows, we need more credit analysts with specialities," says Osborne of the hires. Lombard Odier, with the addition of Brecknell and Stevens, now has eight analysts covering credit globally. There are no immediate plans for additional hires.
