Northern Trust Corporation announced a new middle‑office agreement with Osmosis Investment Management Netherlands, a sustainable fixed‑income asset manager based in the Netherlands. The deal will see Northern Trust provide investment operations outsourcing, collateral management and currency management services to Osmosis, expanding the firm’s European client base and adding a new source of fee‑based revenue in a growing market segment.
Northern Trust, which reported assets under custody and administration of $18.2 trillion and assets under management of $1.8 trillion as of September 30 2025, is a leading provider of middle‑office solutions for institutional investors. Osmosis, an affiliate of Osmosis Investment Management UK Limited, focuses on sustainable fixed‑income strategies and manages approximately $18 billion in assets, positioning the partnership at the intersection of sustainability and sophisticated middle‑office support.
The contract aligns with Northern Trust’s strategy to grow its asset‑servicing business and deepen its presence in Europe. By onboarding a high‑profile sustainable asset manager, the firm strengthens its foothold in the Netherlands and reinforces its reputation as a preferred partner for asset managers seeking to outsource complex operational functions. The deal also reflects a broader industry trend in which asset managers increasingly outsource middle‑office services to specialized providers in order to focus on core investment activities.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but the partnership is expected to contribute to Northern Trust’s fee‑based revenue stream and support the firm’s ongoing expansion into sustainable investing markets. The deal underscores Northern Trust’s commitment to delivering scalable, technology‑enabled solutions to a diverse set of institutional clients across Europe.
