NEWS and Notes


Northern Sponsors American Ballet Theater

For the second straight year, Northern Trust is the corporate sponsor of the American Ballet Theatre’s Spring Season at the Metropolitan Opera House.

ABT is recognized as one of the greatest dance companies in the world. Since its founding in 1940, ABT has toured the United States annually, performing for more than 600,000 people. Recognized as a living national treasure, few ballet companies equal ABT for its combination of size, scope and outreach.

Following ABT’s successful March engagement in Cleveland, Northern Trust is supporting the company’s programs in Orange County, California from May 2-7, and New York City from May 23 to July 15.


European Expansion

Northern Trust has expanded its European wealth management business with the appointment of Nick Ring to the newly created role of Head of Wealth Management, Europe. Ring will be focusing on bringing Northern’s expertise, product array and infrastructure to the European market.

In March, Northern Trust expanded further into Europe with the opening of its new office in Amsterdam. Located at World Trade Centre, H-Toren, Zuidplein 36, the office will provide institutional investors with global custody, administration services, information and risk management services, and asset management.


Rick Waddell Named President and COO

Frederick H. “Rick” Waddell has been named President and Chief Operating Officer of the Northern Trust Corporation. Waddell was also elected to the Corporation’s Board of Directors. In addition to retaining his current responsibilities as President, Corporate and Institutional Services, Waddell will oversee Northern Trust’s other principal operating businesses, Personal Financial Services, Northern Trust Global Investments, and World Wide Operations and Technology.

Waddell, who holds a B.A. degree from Dartmouth College and an M.B.A. from Northwestern University, joined Northern Trust in 1975. From 1994 until 2003, he led Northern Trust’s Wealth Management Group. Prior to that, he was Executive Vice President for Northern Trust Bank of California.


Set Sail at the Jimmy Fund Regatta

The second annual Jimmy Fund Regatta, presented by Northern Trust, will be held June 3 to June 4 in Newport, Rhode Island. Organizers of this world-class regatta expect more than 100 boats to race in several divisions — all to benefit cancer research and care at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. Last year, sailors raised more than $175,000. This year, regatta organizers hope to bring in more than $200,000.

A unique part of the Jimmy Fund Regatta is an event called the Sail for Jimmy, which will be held on Saturday, June 3. This leg of the regatta, in which participants navigate the course around Conanicut Island, also offers other sailboats and powerboats an opportunity to join the course and show their support for the Dana-Farber Institute.

A Family Approach to Collecting

If your vision involves passing your collection to your family, deciding early on how to do this is crucial. Creating the right plan can make the difference between creating a burden and realizing your dreams.

Art or Asset?

Even if you buy art because you love it and give no thought to its value, your collection can quickly become a significant asset. But determining how your collection fits into your overall financial portfolio isn't necessarily an easy task.

Rules That Govern Giving

Donating a collection to a museum can require extensive forethought and planning. Here’s a look at some of the key considerations if you’re planning to leave your collection to an institution.

From Dabbling to Distinction

While it may be tempting to go it alone, when it comes to art and collectibles, assembling a trusted and expert support team can go a long way toward helping you build a world-class collection.
