Award follows new business momentum across pensions business

LONDON, April 30, 2010 - Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) has been named Custodian of the Year by
Professional Pensions magazine in its 2010 UK Pensions Awards.

The UK Pensions Awards recognise providers that offer the highest level
of service to occupational pension schemes and their members and are judged
according to innovation, communication, client benefits and service
standards.

"The award is further recognition of Northern Trust's dedication to our
pension clients and our creative approach to this business," said Penelope
Biggs
, head of institutional business development for Northern Trust in
Europe, Middle East and Africa. "Following the launch of our dedicated
Retirement Solutions Practice last year, pension funds are increasingly
turning to Northern Trust for our specialist pensions capabilities,
creativity and service philosophy. It is gratifying to be recognised by
Professional Pensions magazine for those same qualities."

As of the end of March 2010, Northern Trust provided custody and related
services to approximately one-third of the top 200 pension funds in the UK
and one-third of all UK local government pension funds. In the past two
months, Northern Trust has announced new custody mandates from West Sussex
Pension Fund and Taylor Wimpey amongst others.

Professional Pensions, published by Incisive Media, delivers extensive
news and features coverage for the corporate pensions and investment
industry.
