In plain English
Northern Trust is a Chicago trust bank founded in 1889 that quietly runs the back office of the investment world: it safekeeps and administers roughly $17 trillion of other people's assets for pension funds, sovereign funds and asset managers (Asset Servicing), and manages the money and trusts of wealthy families and individuals (Wealth Management). A 2025 BNY Mellon merger approach was rebuffed — it remains independent.
