Other developments at Northern Trust

In September this year, Northern Trust agreed to take an equity stake in behavioural analytics and consulting firm Essentia Analytics in a bid to accelerate its whole office strategy.

Northern Trust Whole Office strategy focuses on providing client with access to latest technologies, services and solutions across the investment lifecycle.

The same month, the firm rolled out an artificial intelligence-powered solution to extract unstructured investment data from alternative asset documents.

This solution, which builds on Northern Trust’s efforts to digitise alternative asset servicing, was developed in partnership with Microsoft Azure Applied AI Services and Neudesic.
