Founded in 1889, Northern Trust Corporation operates as a financial services firm based in Chicago, US. The company focuses on asset management and fiduciary services, catering to institutional clients. In December 2025, Jackson Thornton Wealth Management acquired Northern Trust Corporation in a PIPE transaction worth USD 287,000.

The acquisition is expected to enhance the company's business development. Northern Trust specializes in providing comprehensive financial services that include asset management, investment consulting, and fiduciary services tailored to meet the needs of institutional clients, corporations, and high-net-worth individuals. The company’s core offerings are designed to address various financial challenges, such as optimizing investment strategies, managing risk, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Northern Trust's services are utilized across multiple geographical markets, including North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, catering to a diverse client base that comprises pension funds, foundations, endowments, and family offices.

Their integrated approach combines advanced technology and expert insights, ensuring that clients receive customized solutions aimed at achieving their specific financial goals. Northern Trust operates on a revenue model primarily driven by fees associated with its asset management and consulting services. Clients engage with the firm through a variety of channels, including direct service agreements, which establish the framework for ongoing management of assets and investments. Revenue is generated through management fees, which are typically calculated as a percentage of assets under management, reflecting the scale and complexity of the services provided.

Additionally, Northern Trust may engage in partnership agreements that can enhance service offerings and expand their reach in key markets. Their fiduciary services also contribute to revenue, as they are structured around a fee-for-service model that aligns with the firm’s commitment to transparency and accountability in managing client investments. In December 2025, Northern Trust Corporation is slated to undergo business enhancements following its acquisition by Jackson Thornton Wealth Management, which will improve its business development strategies. The firm aims to leverage this acquisition to explore new market opportunities and enhance its product offerings.

This strategy includes the potential launch of new financial products targeted at high-net-worth individuals and institutions, although specific details and timelines have yet to be disclosed.
