exchange dealing system to clients of Northern Trust.

Co-branded as a joint offering from the two firms,
the service will operate on any TCP/IP network and
will use the latest trading technology from Reuters.

trading an intrinsic component of the investment management
process,” said Patrick McDougal, executive vice-president and director of foreign
exchange at Northern Trust
“Northern Trust, with more than $1.3 trillion of
custody assets and a leading foreign exchange presence
worldwide and Reuters, with its strong presence in the
