Northern Trust has appointed Robert Frazer as head of global consultant relationships within its asset servicing business in London.
Frazer’s role complements similar strategic roles within Northern Trust’s asset management arm, Northern Trust Global Investments.
He comes to Northern Trust from Thomas Murray, where he spent two years as senior consultant responsible for leading client custodian searches across the pension, insurance and fund manager sectors in UK and European markets.
Previously Frazer spent 16 years with Standard Chartered Bank in its custody and corporate banking division.
“This is a strategic role in which Robert is responsible for ensuring we communicate consistently and clearly to the consultant community, and that Northern Trust listens and responds to feedback from the market,” says Penelope Biggs, global head of asset servicing business development at Northern Trust.
Frazer adds: “I’m excited to be joining Northern Trust as we continue to expand our global reach and as the complexity of our service offering increases. My job is to ensure that we remain focused on developing our relationships with consultants and keep them apprised of the enhancements we’re making in our business.”
