Schroder Investment Management has suffered a blow with the loss of three of its senior fixed income team to Insight Investment, the asset arm of UK bank HBOS.

Robert Gall, head of European fixed income, Andrew Wickham, head of sterling fixed income and Richard Dryer, fixed income fund manager, will all join Insight in the next few months. At Insight they will be co-heads of UK fixed income, while Dryer joins as a credit fund manager.
