Northern Trust managing director in the Nordic region Madeleine Senior said they are able to offer optimal solutions to a range of institutional investors and asset managers that need to meet complex reporting requirements, as well as compliance and regulatory obligations, whilst also ensuring that their assets work hard through their global securities lending programme, transition management and foreign exchange services.
Northern Trust has opened its Nordic headquarters in Stockholm in September 2009 to offer asset servicing products and services to Nordic clients as close to their home market as possible.
