The Northern Trust All Funds Over $100 Million plan universe had a median return of -0.8% in the fourth quarter but was up 9.4% for the full year in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Northern Trust Universe tracks the performance of 385 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.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Northern Trust Corporate (ERISA) universe median plan return was down -3.9% for the quarter, and the Northern Trust Public Funds universe posted a median return of -1.1% while the Northern Trust Foundation and Endowment (F&amp;E) universe was up by .01% for the period ending December 31.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe fourth quarter was marked by peaks and valleys, as markets reacted to U.S. election results in November and the Federal Reserve signaling in December that future interest rate cuts would be limited,\u201d said John Turney, Global Head of Total Portfolio Solutions, Northern Trust Asset Servicing. \u201cDespite this turbulence, major U.S. equity indices closed out the quarter at all-time highs, fueled by strong gains from stocks tied to Artificial Intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe S&amp;P 500 Large Cap Index was up 2.4% for the three-month period. The Russell 1000 Large Cap Growth Index produced a return of 7.1%, outperforming the Russell 1000 Large Cap Value Index return of -2.0%. The Russell 1000 Large Cap Index was up 2.7%, compared to the Russell 2000 Small Cap Index of 0.3% for the period.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn line with market expectations, the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates by 50 basis points in the fourth quarter, bringing the Fed Funds rate to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%. The U.S. Ten-Year Government Bond yield rose from 3.81% to 4.58% during the quarter. The Northern Trust US Fixed Income program universe median return was down -2.3% for the quarter.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the full calendar year 2024, U.S. equity markets outperformed both international equity markets and global fixed income markets. Plans that had a higher allocation to public and private equity outperformed those with significant allocations to fixed income. For example, the median one-year return for the Northern Trust Foundation and Endowment universe, which maintains a median allocation to fixed income below 10%, was 10.2%. In comparison, the Northern Trust ERISA universe, with a median allocation to fixed income exceeding 50%, reported a one-year median return of 3.0%.<\/p>\n<p>\nResults as of December 31, 2024:<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"bwtablemarginb bwblockalignl bwwidth50\">\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwwidth49\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwalignc bwwidth9\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\"><span class=\"bwuline\">4th Qtr<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwalignc bwwidth9\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\"><span class=\"bwuline\">1Yr<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwalignc bwwidth9\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\"><span class=\"bwuline\">3Yr<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwalignc bwwidth9\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\"><span class=\"bwuline\">5Yr<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwwidth49\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nERISA<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadb3 bwwidth9 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n-3.9%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth9 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n\u00a03.0%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadb3 bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth9 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n\u00a0-2.5%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadb3 bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth9 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n\u00a02.9%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwwidth49\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nPublic Funds<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwwidth9 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n\u00a0-1.1%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadb3 bwwidth9 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n8.6%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadb3 bwwidth9 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n2.5%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwwidth5 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwalignc bwcellpmargin\">\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"bwpadl0 bwpadr0 bwvertalignb bwpadb3 bwwidth9 bwalignc\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin bwalignc\">\n6.7%<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"bwvertalignt bwpadl0 bwwidth49\" rowspan=\"1\" colspan=\"1\">\n<p class=\"bwcellpmargin\">\nFoundations &amp;
