NTRS Company Overview

Northern Trust Corporation (NTRS) is a global financial services company specializing in asset servicing, asset management, and wealth management for institutional investors, corporations, financial intermediaries, and high-net-worth individuals.

The company is widely recognized for its strength in custody and fund administration, risk management, and institutional asset management, supported by a conservative balance sheet and strong capital position.
