Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) announced today that it has hired Bo Thulin to lead its Nordic business.

Based in Stockholm, Thulin is responsible for managing the growth and development of Northern Trust's asset servicing and asset management business activities across Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. He will report to Penelope Biggs, head of the Institutional Investor Group for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), at Northern Trust.

Thulin joins Northern Trust from JP Morgan where he was most recently head of the bank's investor services business in Sweden and Norway. During his career spanning more than 30 years, he has held several management positions in sales, relationship management and product development. He holds an MBA from Uppsala University.

'We are delighted to appoint Bo to lead our Nordic office,' said Biggs. 'His experience and in-depth knowledge of the Nordic market will be crucial to ensuring we remain well-positioned to deliver first-class asset servicing and asset management solutions to meet the unique needs of our Nordic clients,' said Biggs. 'Since opening our Stockholm office in 2009, we have seen a 60 percent rise in assets under custody and a 400 percent rise in assets under management, and under Bo's leadership will continue this momentum, working with our clients to deliver tailored solutions that meet their needs.'

Northern Trust has offered innovative and sophisticated asset servicing solutions to institutional investors across the region for close to 20 years. In 2010 it announced it would also offer asset management solutions directly from its Stockholm office to clients across the region. It currently services 30 percent of the top 30 Nordic pension funds and pension insurers.

'Northern Trust works with some of the most sophisticated institutional funds and investment managers in the Nordic region and we understand their unique requirements - such as for tools that support their ability to have oversight and governance over their investments, and help in meeting new regulatory requirements,' said Thulin. 'I'm pleased to join Northern Trust at this time, and look forward to combining our global expertise and local market experience to support our clients across the Nordic region.'
