Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services Expands Capabilities to Meet Growing Demand for Energy Investing
Northern Trust unveils first of its kind feature on the Omnium platform, uniting portfolios across public, private, and commodity markets
As asset managers expand their portfolios to generate alpha in developing asset classes, they increasingly seek the resources that can help them track risks more effectively. With the addition of energy and physical commodities, NTHFS can support clients who trade these products across multiple markets and regions while also providing a unified investment book of record and accounting book of record across public markets, private markets, and commodities.
“Hedge fund managers are eager to invest in energy and physical commodities, but there’s a gap in the market when it comes to servicing these products, where settlements can include physical delivery obligations on multiple time horizons as well as financial implications,” said Jeff Boyd, Head of Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services,
“Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services has been an instrumental partner as our trading support needs have evolved as we continue to scale and enter new markets,” said Christopher Newman, Head of Operations at Squarepoint Capital.
The new energy and physical commodities offering will be available through Omnium, Northern Trust's integrated middle office and accounting platform that supports a wide array of asset classes and investment vehicles. This enhancement complements Omnium's web-based dashboards which can be customized to deliver the full scope of relevant, actionable information to each client, allowing them to optimize their investment strategies.
“The key to success for NTHFS has always been our ability to adapt and support clients as they explore alpha generating opportunities. Expanding our capabilities in the commodity space serves as a testament to that ethos – we’re dedicated to developing solutions that are fit for purpose and designed to allow our clients to focus on what matters,” said Nadia Cobalovic, co-Chief Operating Officer of Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services.
Northern Trust Hedge Fund Services (NTHFS) specializes in providing integrated middle and back-office administration to alternative fund managers and institutional investors with complex portfolios. Northern Trust continues to heavily invest in the Omnium platform to build out its capabilities to address future industry needs, working side by side with our clients to further enhance the user experience, maximize transparency and drive Operational Alpha.
