Northern Trust Asset Management (NTAM), a division of Northern Trust, has appointed Tim Brown as the new head of UK sales. 

Brown, based in London, will spearhead the sales strategy and enhance NTAM’s UK presence.  

Leading a regional sales team, Brown will foster collaboration within Northern Trust, working closely with the asset servicing sales team to integrate the firm’s expertise and resources.  

In his new role, Brown will collaborate with Michelle Inskip, NTAM’s head of consultant relations for EMEA, who joined in August 2024 to strengthen ties with UK institutional clients.  

He reports to Rutger Maenen, NTAM’s head of sales for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. 

Brown previously worked at Dimensional Fund Advisors as the head of institutional and EMEA consultant relations group.  

He has over 25 years of industry experience, having held positions at Credit Suisse and UBP. 

NTAM head of global institutional client group Lyenda Delp said: “We are pleased to welcome Tim to NTAM’s sales team. His appointment complements recent hires across our broader international business in the fixed income, quant and stewardship teams, as we continue our commitment to growing our regional capabilities and services.” 

Northern Trust president for Europe, Middle East and Africa Clive Bellows said: “Tim’s experience and track record further increases and complements the depth of expertise and talent we deploy across our regional franchise.  

“Across our range of asset management, asset servicing and wealth management solutions, we continue to grow our collective capabilities to help our clients achieve their strategic objectives as their trusted adviser and partner.” 

This appointment follows NTAM’s recent expansion of its global quant strategies team, hiring 13 investment personnel in Amsterdam.  

As of 31 December 2024, NTAM had total assets under custody/administration of $16.79tn, a 9% increase year-on-year.  

Assets under management reached $1.61tn, marking a 12% rise from December 2023.
