Northern Trust Asset Management Brings Its FlexShares ETFs Under the Northern Trust Brand
Rebrand unifies the firm’s ETF lineup while maintaining investor continuity
CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Northern Trust Asset Management, a leading global investment management firm with US$1.6 trillion in assets under management and US$27 billion in exchange traded fund assets as of June 30, 2026, announced that its full ETF lineup now operates as Northern Trust ETFs.
The move brings 27 FlexShares ETFs together with the 12 Northern Trust ETFs introduced over the past year under a single Northern Trust ETFs platform. The unified brand more clearly connects the firm’s ETF lineup to Northern Trust Asset Management’s investment capabilities and legacy Northern Trust brand, and creates a more consistent experience for investors and advisors across the firm’s investment solutions.
The transition to the Northern Trust ETFs name does not affect the investment objectives, portfolio management teams, ticker symbols or investment processes of the funds. Investors continue to have access to the same ETF strategies and investment expertise.
“ETFs are an important part of how we deliver Northern Trust Asset Management’s investment expertise to a broad range of investors,” Northern Trust Asset Management President Michael Hunstad, Ph.D. said. “Bringing our full ETF lineup together under the Northern Trust brand marks a significant milestone in the development of our platform, as we grow our ETF offerings through new product innovation and investment solutions centered on evolving client needs.”
“We are focused on developing ETF solutions that meet the needs of investors and advisors today while anticipating the ways they will build portfolios in the future,” Northern Trust Asset Management Global Head of ETFs and Funds Dave Abner said. “Our ETFs are grounded in Northern Trust’s legacy of creating customized solutions for sophisticated investors and our commitment to addressing the portfolio challenges that matter most to them.”
With more than 15 years of experience managing ETFs and $27 billion in ETF assets as of June 30, 2026, Northern Trust Asset Management offers a diversified range of active and passive ETFs across equities, fixed income and real assets.
