"Northern Trust is delighted to add Merlin and its clients to our growing hedge fund custody and administration business - which now provides asset servicing for more than $90 billion in assets worldwide," said Peter Cherecwich, Chief Operating Officer for Corporate and Institutional Services at Northern Trust. Merlin's technology, risk analytics, and multi-custody reporting capabilities are a strong complement to Northern Trust's hedge fund services."
Northern Trust delivers comprehensive, customized custody services to global investors, including trade settlement in approximately 95 developed and emerging markets. Other global custody services include asset safekeeping, foreign exchange, cash management, income collection, tax reclamation, corporate actions, and proxy voting, as well as reporting and accounting.
