Northern Trust has secured a mandate to deliver asset servicing solutions for Gravis Advisory Limited’s (Gravis) open-ended investment company (OEIC) fund range in the United Kingdom.
The UK-based asset manager, Gravis, specializes in infrastructure, real estate, and private credit investments. As of 31 March 2025, it manages £2.3 billion (around US$3.1 billion) in assets. The firm focuses on unlocking sectors that are often difficult for investors to access while generating steady cash flows and long-term income.
Expanding Investments Across Key Sectors
Gravis has built on its investments in hospitals, schools, and student housing by expanding into renewable energy, logistics, and data centers. These areas continue to gain importance in the global investment landscape.
Morag Law, Head of Legal and Operations at Gravis, stated that Northern Trust’s strong UK presence, comprehensive services, and cultural alignment influenced the decision. She highlighted that the partnership streamlines OEIC fund services, improves industry expertise access, and supports their goal of delivering consistent returns.
Under the agreement, Northern Trust will provide fund administration, global custody, depositary, transfer agency, and outsourced trading via its Integrated Trading Solutions platform for Gravis’ five OEICs.
Laurence Everitt, Head of Global Fund Services, UK, at Northern Trust, said the firm is eager to support Gravis’ mission of helping investors access infrastructure and related asset classes. He added that Northern Trust’s services, ranging from trading optimization to post-trade reporting and investor servicing, enhance efficiency, oversight, and scalability.
Northern Trust delivers a full spectrum of solutions, including fund administration, global custody, investment operations outsourcing, and data management for global investment managers. These capabilities support complex strategies across diverse asset classes.
