Northern Trust Expands Fixed Income Outsourced Trading Capabilities to Asia-Pacific Market

SYDNEY – Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) announced today that it has launched its Integrated Trading Solutions (ITS) fixed income outsourced trading capability in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Provided through Northern Trust Securities in Australia, the expanded product offering targets fixed income trading in the APAC time zones and bond universe.

With this addition, Northern Trust now offers 24/6 fixed income trading coverage with desks based in Chicago, London and Sydney. Northern Trust’s ITS clients have access to a global, multi-source liquidity network of more than 160 fixed income counterparties, ranging from bulge bracket to local specialists.

“We are excited to bring our outsourced trading capabilities to the APAC fixed income market, to meet the strategic needs of asset owners and managers serving investors in the region,” said Rob Arnott, Head of Brokerage, Asia Pacific at Northern Trust. “Our advanced trading technology, local market knowledge and experienced traders help reduce inefficiencies in the inherently complex and time-intensive fixed income market, allowing our clients to benefit from more seamless fixed income trading.
