Beyond the interest rate environment, asset owners increasingly view liquidity through a broader risk\u2011management lens, tied to portfolio resilience, geopolitical uncertainty and counterparty considerations.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAs portfolios become more complex, asset owners are placing greater emphasis on operating models and data infrastructure that support disciplined decision\u2011making around risk and liquidity,\u201d said <b>Jessica Donohue, head of Asset Servicing, Americas at Northern Trust<\/b>. \u201cThe focus is less on reacting to short\u2011term market conditions and more on ensuring portfolios can be managed confidently across market cycles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Digital assets: growing exposure, cautious execution<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Nearly half (47%) of respondents reported current digital asset exposure, either directly or indirectly. Cryptocurrencies remain the most common entry point, but asset owners are increasingly accessing the asset class through ETFs, funds and other digitally native structures. Adoption remains deliberate, shaped by regulatory clarity, governance requirements, and servicing capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><b>Data and AI: momentum constrained by foundations<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Interest in AI has risen sharply, with nearly 70% of respondents identifying \u2018harnessing the power of AI\u2019 as a top operational challenge, a significant increase year-on-year. However, foundational data issues persist: 57% cite data integration and accuracy as key obstacles, limiting the ability to fully leverage analytics, automation and AI across investment and operating functions.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cAs technology becomes more embedded in both front\u2011 and back\u2011office functions, asset owners are placing greater emphasis on practical execution,\u201d said <b>Ian Hamilton, head of Asset Owners, Europe at Northern Trust Asset Servicing<\/b>. \u201cThe priority is not transformation for its own sake, but using data, analytics and digital capabilities to improve efficiency, oversight and resilience, particularly as private markets and liquidity demands continue to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Operating models: targeted hybrid approaches<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>Across regions, asset owners are increasingly adopting hybrid operating models that balance internal control with external expertise. Decisions around insourcing and outsourcing are becoming more targeted, reflecting a desire to scale efficiently while maintaining oversight as portfolios grow more complex.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cLooking ahead, the shift toward more targeted hybrid models reflects a broader recognition that scale must be deliberate and well governed,\u201d said <b>Leon Stavrou, head of Australia and New Zealand at Northern Trust Asset Servicing<\/b>. \u201cSophisticated asset owners are increasingly seeking scale through operating models and partnerships that support oversight, execution and long\u2011term strategy, rather than simply adding complexity as portfolios evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditional findings and commentary are available on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.northerntrust.com%2Funited-states%2Finsights-research%2Fasset-servicing%2Fa-suite&amp;esheet=54538144&amp;newsitemid=20260519685424&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=A-Suite+by+Northern+Trust&amp;index=1&amp;md5=58a79a7736c69846ab7e4af3bf79963f\">A-Suite by Northern Trust<\/a>, a community in which asset allocators can learn, collaborate, and move the needle on issues that matter most to them.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor many decades, Northern Trust has been dedicated to serving the needs of global asset owners.
