Northern Trust will provide specialist custody and asset administration services to help insurance clients prepare for Solvency II.
"Solvency II is the biggest regulatory challenge facing the insurance industry in Europe today," said Andrew Melville, head of insurance product for Europe, Middle East and Africa at Northern Trust.
"By delivering a single data source for accounting, valuation and asset characteristics, Northern Trust is uniquely positioned to provide insurers with consistent asset data, reducing the need for reconciling multiple data sources."
