Northern Trust has launched Integrated Trading Solutions (ITS) to help asset owners and asset managers achieve better trading and performance outcomes.
The new solution combines Northern Trust’s trading experience in equities and fixed income with access to global markets, trading venues and liquidity.
ITS enables seamless integration using advanced technology across trade execution, middle office, matching and settlement.
Guy Gibson, head of Institutional Brokerage for Europe, the Middle East and Africa and the Asia Pacific at Northern Trust, said: “Institutional investors are at a tipping point, faced with unprecedented pressure from multiple sources: the need to invest in technology, support regulation and compliance requirements alongside competitive fee pressures.”
“All these factors combine to drive down profitability. Through our newly-launched end-to-end integrated trading capability, we are positioned to deliver an immediate solution to help our clients address these challenges.”
Gibson added: “As a custody bank based agency dealer, with access to excellent liquidity, and leading end-to-end operational and technology capabilities, Northern Trust acts as a trusted partner to clients by providing ITS.”
