Mr. Hodges is head of unconstrained fixed income, and Mr. Bugg is a portfolio manager, unconstrained fixed income, the spokesman said. Both positions are new.
Messrs. Hodges and Bugg are responsible for a new Global Dynamic Bond Fund, investing across a range of fixed-income securities.

A spokesman for LGIM said the firm added resources to the team and reorganized. While there are no direct replacements, he said, LGIM is building up its resources in fixed income.
