Strategy
Northern Trust's investment business strategy has focused on expansion through a “build, buy, and partner” approach. Major acquisitions, new product launches, strategic business alliances, and an increased commitment to sales and servicing have contributed to Northern Trust's outstanding growth and increased market share and a greater breadth, depth, and expertise in the Northern Institutional Funds’ product and servicing offering.

Investment Belief
Our investment management approach is founded on a core set of beliefs, beginning with the premise that inefficiencies exist in the financial markets, but vary over time, by asset class and across market sectors. When those inefficiencies are absent, passive strategies offer the best risk/reward profile.

We believe that risk is a controllable and necessary component of active management. And we believe there is an intrinsic relationship between investment risk and return, which can be estimated, analyzed, and managed.

Client Commitment
Client service is a hallmark of Northern Trust. Whether your needs involve pensions, portfolio management, or financial consulting, you will receive impeccable service from experts who understand your unique challenges. Our focus is clear – to offer you compelling investment and risk management choices, with an in-depth understanding of your unique needs and goals.
