Northern Trust has strengthened its investment operations outsourcing, fund administration and accounting capabilities in Australasia with two senior appointments. Nadia Ivanova has assumed the newly-created role of Head of Global Fund Services for Australasia and Vicki Martyn joins Northern Trust as a senior relationship manager.
The additions to the Melbourne-based team are part of a building process for Northern Trust as it wins new clients in the region, including its recently announced appointment to provide investment operations outsourcing services to QIC, one of Australia’s largest institutional fund managers.
“Northern Trust is growing in Australasia as the region’s premier asset managers and investment funds look for efficient, flexible and scalable operating platforms to support their investment activities,” said Paul Cutts, Northern Trust’s Managing Director for Australasia. “A key to Northern Trust’s success is that our truly global operations and technology architecture is backed by a commitment to local expertise and client service, as exemplified by the appointments of professionals like Nadia Ivanova and Vicki Martyn.”
Ivanova is a 17-year veteran of fund services at Northern Trust, with a record of building strong operations and client service teams in Europe and the United States. Prior to Australia, she was based in London and led the Northern Trust Global Fund Administration operation for EMEA and Asia-Pacific. In Australia, she leads a growing group of professionals supporting investment operations outsourcing, fund administration, accounting and tax services for both local and global investment managers.
Vicki Martyn joins Northern Trust with more than 20 years of industry experience. She brings extensive fund administration, custody and relationship management expertise having previously served in a variety of senior management positions in the local market place.
“The Australian fund industry is one of the fastest growing in the world, and we are bringing our innovative products and leading technology to this market place,” Ivanova said. “We look forward to working with investment managers and superannuation funds in Australasia as well as global managers distributing products locally to provide a platform for growth.”
