He will take up the new responsibility in August 2017, and will report to the firm’s head of Europe and Americas distribution Justin Eede.

Barry most recently served at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, where he had tenure of around two decades in several sales roles. He previously also had a stint in the sales team at Fidelity International.

“Alex’s excellent reputation and extensive experience in growing and servicing key client relationships will be invaluable to Legg Mason as we look to expand the investment choices we deliver to our intermediary clients across the UK,” Eede stated.
