He joins from UBS where he was director, sales, discretionary and fund of funds, Midlands and South regions. Prior to UBS he worked at EMX and Scottish Amicable as a national sales manager.

Holland’s remit is to lead L&G's drive into the discretionary and Fof markets through activity across sales, marketing and product development.

He will report to Karen Blatchford, who said: “Martin will play a key role in positioning L&GI at the forefront of the growing demand for diverse investment strategies and engaging more with our key distributors.

“We want to raise our profile in the discretionary and fund of funds markets and become a core provider of both active and index strategies.

“Discretionary firms are looking to diversify their portfolios post RDR and we have a fantastic range of funds to offer.”

L&G Investments' Paul Measures will remain as head of intermediary sales, wealth management. The group would not disclose its split of proportionate sales between DFM and IFA channels.
