The median plan in the Northern Trust Universe returned 6.0% for the quarter, ranking the period as the fifth-best quarterly result over the last 10 years.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Northern Trust Universe tracks the performance of 377 large U.S. institutional investment plans, with a combined asset value of more than $1.4 trillion, which subscribe to performance measurement services as part of Northern Trust&#8217;s asset servicing offerings.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nCorporate ERISA pension plans returned 6.2% at the median, Foundations and Endowments produced a 6.0% median return and Public Funds had a median return of 5.6% in the three-month period ending June 30, 2021.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cU.S. equity market returns were driven by climbing U.S. Covid-19 vaccination rates, proposals for massive federal infrastructure spending, and strong returns across the technology sector,\u201d said Amy Garrigues, global head of <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.northerntrust.com%2Funited-states%2Fwhat-we-do%2Fasset-servicing%2Fdata-solutions%2Finvestment-risk-and-analytical-services&amp;esheet=52473818&amp;newsitemid=20210809005474&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Investment+Risk+and+Analytical+Services&amp;index=1&amp;md5=8cc471e5385e1d6fa41cfcf6af869ac2\">Investment Risk and Analytical Services<\/a> at Northern Trust. \u201cInternational market data was also encouraging. The Markit eurozone PMI rose to its highest level since 2006, and the European Commission approved an $800 billion Covid-19 recovery package which was well received by European markets. With these combined factors, the Northern Trust Universe saw one of its most impressive quarters within the last decade.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nU.S. equity is a core holding for most plans in the Northern Trust Universe, and the Northern Trust U.S. equity program universe reported a 7.8% median gain in the second quarter. Another top holding for most plans, U.S. fixed income, had a median return of 2.2% for the quarter.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe U.S. fixed income allocation was 42.9% of the median Corporate ERISA plan assets. ERISA plans\u2019 allocation to U.S. equity was 24.1% and international equity median exposure was 6.1% in the second quarter.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPublic Fund plans have the highest allocations to equity, with the median U.S. equity allocation at 34.0% at the end of the second quarter. International equity median exposure came to 15.2%. The median exposure to U.S. fixed income for Public Funds was 20.8%.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nFoundation and Endowment plans had a median U.S. equity allocation of 22.9% in the second quarter, down by 4.4% from five years earlier. International equity median exposure was 9.2% and the median exposure to U.S. fixed income was 8.4%. In the F&amp;E universe, private equity and hedge fund median allocations come in at 20.0% and 9.4% respectively as of quarter end.\n<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"9\" rowspan=\"1\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"9\" rowspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nResults of U.S. plan level universes as of June 30, 2021:\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" colspan=\"9\" rowspan=\"1\" \/><\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n2nd Qtr\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n1 Yr\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n3 Yr\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n5 Yr\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nERISA\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n6.2%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n18.0%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n11.8%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n10.4%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nPublic Funds\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n5.6%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n26.4%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n10.9%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n10.9%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nFoundations &amp; Endowments\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n6.0%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n30.5%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n12.0%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n11.7%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\" \/>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>About Northern Trust<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nNorthern Trust Corporation (Nasdaq: NTRS) is a leading provider of wealth management, asset servicing, asset management and banking to corporations, institutions, affluent families and individuals.
