MUTUAL FUND SERVICES
Mutual funds are a demanding business: with daily dealing and extensive regulatory requirements, you need a provider that gets it right. Every day. More importantly, you need a partner that gets your business and delivers results for you and your investors.
Northern Trust offers a two-decade track record of excellence in mutual fund administration and a client-centered approach focusing not only on your needs, but on your long-term goals. The result? You get the operational and consultative support you need to grow your business.
What makes Northern Trust different?
We are dedicated to making our clients successful.
We believe that you shouldn't have to choose between selecting a top-tier provider and receiving the attention you deserve.
The Chatham Client Satisfaction survey ranks Northern Trust #1 in client service because we take the time to understand each client, where they're headed, and how we can best facilitate their growth.
Fund Administration is central to our business, and we've invested accordingly.
We've developed new technologies and recruited top talent to deliver a more automated, more client-centered service model that puts your needs first.
We have the expertise and technology to support your entire product suite.
In addition to US registered mutual funds, our single, global operating platform supports other registered fund structures in various jurisdictions as well as the full spectrum of unregistered fund products. With one platform and experience with 20+ fund types, we can support your full product set seamlessly and consistently regardless of fund structure or jurisdiction.
