The appointment extends the reach of JOHCM’s trading across global markets and time zones, widens the liquidity and broker networks its fund managers can call on, and adds independently measured execution, with the aim of improving outcomes for its clients.

Northern Trust’s ITS team will support the trading of JOHCM’s portfolios. The appointment builds on JOHCM’s existing relationship with Northern Trust as a provider of a range of asset services since 2008, including middle office, transfer agency, fund accounting, custody, depositary and currency management. As part of the transition, members of JOHCM’s trading team have been invited to join Northern Trust, providing continuity of coverage for JOHCM’s investment teams.
Clare Forster, chief operating officer at JOHCM, said: “Northern Trust gives us a scalable global trading infrastructure, greater operational resilience and access to extensive liquidity and broker networks. Its ITS model, with round-the-clock coverage of global markets, lets us scale with confidence while our investment teams stay focused on generating long-term returns through active, high-conviction portfolios. Our shared cultural commitment to client service made Northern Trust the natural strategic partner.”
Amy Thorne, head of integrated trading solutions, EMEA, at Northern Trust, commented: “We are delighted to be partnering with JOHCM by tailoring our ITS operating model to support their specialist global trading requirements across the investment lifecycle. This appointment reflects growing momentum among investment managers to view outsourced trading as a strategic component of evolving operating models, enabling them to focus on core investment decisions and business growth amid changing market conditions.”
