providing market-leading solutions to clients.

In her new role, Biggs will lead client servicing and sales, consulting
and marketing for the Institutional Investor Group, which provides asset
servicing solutions to institutional investors, such as pension funds,
sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies.

Biggs, who joined Northern Trust in 1996, was most recently head of

Chief Administration Officer for EMEA. In this newly created role, Holman
will oversee Northern Trust's EMEA product team as well as the Investment
Risk and Analytical Services group. He has over 25 years of industry
experience and joined Northern Trust in 1995.

"We have seen our clients' requirements become increasingly sophisticated
as they focus on solutions that can help them manage risk — from products
designed to help manage regulatory reporting requirements to those that
satisfy demands for transparency and integrated reporting data," said Bowman.

"By creating this new role, which aligns the product and risk teams
together under Peter, we are better positioned to continue providing our
clients with innovative and market-leading solutions that cater to their
evolving requirements."
