Northern Trust has launched A-Suite, an online community, destination and content hub offering global asset owners and allocators rich, tailored content and research, combined with unique peer networking that allows them to connect, benchmark and share best practices.

This first-of-its-kind hub, the company says, aims “to empowering asset owners with the latest insights, research, and networking opportunities” and allows them “to collaborate on the issues that matter most to them”.

The company, which has over 1,800 global asset owner clients, across corporations, not-for-profits, public funds, insurance companies, central banks, and superannuation and sovereign wealth funds, adds that the platform will also provide client access to custom content and proprietary research.

“Asset owners all over the world face many similar investment challenges,” notes Angelo Calvitto, the company’s head of Asia-Pacific. “Providing a destination platform and content hub for this community demonstrates our desire to stay one step ahead in supporting their evolving needs.”
