Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) has launched an enhanced active collateral solution designed to help institutional investors manage their collateral more efficiently while meeting the demands of continual market change.

The capability, delivered in collaboration with CloudMargin, a leading global collateral management technology company, will provide enhanced service capabilities, increased transparency on a real-time basis and platform resiliency. This includes automated asset selection based on flexible hierarchies, support of complex eligibility rules, access to real-time data through client portals, report write capabilities, and full end-to-end automation.

Nadia Ivanova, Head of Business Services, Northern Trust Asset Servicing, said: “Our clients must be strategic and nimble in managing their investment portfolios, including collateral management, to optimize asset deployment and minimize performance drag. Our advanced, digitized solutions can help clients achieve this objective – minimizing the value of assets that need to be tied up as collateral and managing counterparty exposure effectively. This showcases our technology vision in action, delivering the agility, resilience, automation, and long-term value our clients require.”
