LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Trust announced today that it has been re-appointed by Generation Investment Management LLP (Generation) to provide full investment operations outsourcing for its asset management business.
“Outsourcing reduces the administrative burden of asset management, enables cost-efficiencies, and has the potential to reduce operational risk,” said Laurence Everitt, head of Global Fund Services, UK at Northern Trust. “More and more asset managers are seeing the benefits of outsourcing their investment operations and we are delighted that Generation continues to look to Northern Trust’s tailored and fully automated outsourcing platform to support its requirements.”
Generation first appointed Northern Trust in 2005 to provide custody, investment operations outsourcing, fund accounting, transfer agency, performance measurement and client reporting across its fund range domiciled in Dublin and Delaware.
“Since initially appointing Northern Trust, Generation has grown significantly,” said Peter Harris, chief operating officer at Generation. “Outsourcing the majority of our operations to Northern Trust enables us to focus on managing our clients’ assets and benefit from the company’s global expertise and technologies. We are pleased to continue our broad relationship.”
Northern Trust’s Global Fund Services business provides custody, fund administration, and investment operations outsourcing solutions to investment managers across the globe and across the spectrum of asset classes. Northern Trust has 20 full outsourcing clients and a further 20 component outsourcing relationships in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
