Northern Trust will be providing domestic and global custody, performance measurement, treasury management and banking services for the John A. Hartford Foundation, a leading philanthropy focused on issues of aging and health. The USD655 million fund is scheduled to transition in January 2007.

“We selected Northern Trust for its dedication to clients of all sizes and strong service offering, ranging from global custody to private banking,” says Samuel R. Gische, the Finance Director & Controller of the John A. Hartford Foundation. “We expect Northern Trust’s innovative performance measurement and risk analytics program will be a great advantage for us as we continue to diversify allocations into private equity, hedge funds and other alternative assets.”

“This mandate is a testament to Northern Trust’s superior combination of client service, banking expertise and securities operations for foundation and endowment clients,” adds Louisa Taylor, the Senior Vice President of Northern Trust. “We are pleased to support the John A. Hartford Foundation’s global investment portfolio and its grant disbursements, and we look forward to a strong relationship.”
