As a global provider of investment management, asset servicing, fund administration, fiduciary, and banking services, we are uniquely positioned. Northern Trust clients represent a wide range of corporations, institutions, individuals, and families in nearly 40 countries and are served by more than 9,700 highly skilled Northern Trust people worldwide. A Client-Focused Business Strategy Northern Trust remains focused on administering and managing client assets for both affluent individuals and families, and institutional investors worldwide. Northern Trust’s technology, operations, and investment management platforms are used globally across both distribution channels. This distinguishes Northern Trust from other financial services firms and is a significant contributor to our ability to provide clients with innovative products and solutions. As a financial services firm focused on fee revenues, successfully gathering client assets is an important measure of success for Northern Trust. New business momentum in the U.S. and abroad, as well as improved stock market performance, fueled growth in our assets under custody and assets under management in 2006. At year end, assets under custody totaled a record $3.5 trillion, up 21 percent over 2005. Assets under management grew to a record $697 billion, an increase of 13 percent over the prior year. Northern Trust’s success in earning the confidence of clients, as evidenced by our growth in assets under custody and managed assets, demonstrates how our unique array of products and services is receiving increased market acceptance around the world. Backed by our comprehensive understanding of clients’ needs, we are dedicated to delivering solutions-based products in the most user-friendly and time-efficient ways possible. We distribute products and services through two client-centric business units: Personal Financial Services (PFS) and Corporate & Institutional Services (C&IS). Both business units are supported by Northern Trust Global Investments (NTGI), our multi-asset class investment management business, and Worldwide Operations and Technology (WWOT), the backbone of our information technology infrastructure and transactional processing efficiency. Putting clients first, we continue to grow custody and managed assets organically by winning new clients in the global marketplace and by doing more for existing clients. 1 8 N O R T H E R N T R U S T C O R P O R A T I O N S U M M A R Y A N N U A L R E P O R T 2006 Donnelley, R.R. “N.T.
