Martin Squires has moved from Schroder Investment Management to become head of credit research at Lombard Odier, only fifteen months after joining the UK investment house.

Squires joined Schroders' fixed income team last August, with responsibility for covering investment grade and high-yield European industrial issuers. Prior to his move, he was group vice president overseeing the development of the European corporate ratings business at Duff & Phelps, the rating agency.
