As part of its continuing strategy to serve client needs across the entire investment lifecycle, Northern Trust has established a relationship with Enfusion, Inc. to provide portfolio management, order and execution management system, and analytics capabilities to mutual clients. Through this collaboration, Enfusion and Northern Trust offer asset manager, hedge fund and internally managed asset owner clients a fully integrated, end-to-end solution that can streamline workflows while leveraging each company's strengths. Enfusion's innovative software-as-a-service platform, which has operated cloud-natively since inception in 2006, delivers portfolio management, trade execution, order management, and risk management functionality from a single platform, removing key operational and technical barriers that asset managers and hedge funds face.

The software components work from a single, unified dataset, keeping investment and accounting books of record in sync throughout the trading day, so the front, middle and back offices all have access to the same information. This alliance will enable mutually supported interfaces between the Enfusion platform and Northern Trust's core asset servicing platforms, thus expediting implementations, improving data access, and, ultimately, increasing operational efficiency. Clients will also benefit from the expertise of dedicated service teams from both companies.

Building on the alliance, Enfusion has co-developed a certified, mutually supported interface with Northern Trust partner Equity Data Science, Inc., which is in use by several joint clients. EDS offers a cloud-based platform that provides applications and decision-making tools to asset managers and hedge funds across the investment lifecycle, including idea generation, research management, portfolio construction, risk management and performance attribution. This collaboration demonstrates the power of the Northern Trust Whole Office strategy to look across the spectrum of client challenges and join forces with market-leading companies that can provide cutting-edge solutions.
