Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch has rounded off a recent recruitment drive by hiring Jonathan Staples as a quant analyst from Threadneedle Asset Management. A rash of other hires comprises four fixed income research analysts and two relative value analysts for the eurozone.

Lombard Odier in London is concentrating its attention on fixed income, following the recruitment of Christine Farquhar, head of fixed income, who recently reached an out-of-court settlement with her previous employer, Insight Investment, after accusing it of sexual discrimination.
