Asset Servicing Solutions to be Provided for Specialist Infrastructure, Real Estate and Private Credit Investor

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) has been appointed to provide asset servicing solutions to Gravis Advisory Limited (Gravis) for its open-ended investment company (OEIC) fund range in the United Kingdom (UK).

Gravis is an independently managed UK-based asset manager specializing in infrastructure, real estate, and private credit investments. It has £2.3 billion (approximately US$3.1 billion) in assets under management (as of 31 March 2025), with an approach focused on opening-up sectors that many investors may find hard to access, while generating dependable cash flows and long-term predictable income for clients.

Building on its investments in hospitals, schools and student accommodation, Gravis has expanded into increasingly important areas, such as renewable energy generation, logistics and data centers, to name but a few.

Morag Law, head of Legal and Operations at Gravis, said: “Northern Trust’s significant footprint in the UK funds industry, comprehensive solution set and cultural fit with Gravis were among the reasons for this appointment. We create efficiencies by streamlining service provision for our OEIC funds, increase access to funds industry expertise, and support our mission of aiming to provide investors with steady returns.”

Northern Trust will provide fund administration, global custody, depositary, transfer agency and outsourced trading via Integrated Trading Solutions for Gravis' five OEICs.

Laurence Everitt, head of Global Fund Services, UK, at Northern Trust, said. “We are excited that Gravis has appointed us to support their approach of helping investors access infrastructure and related asset classes. Northern Trust’s range of solutions – from optimizing clients’ trading through to delivering post-trade reporting, valuation, and investor servicing – helps them enhance efficiency, resilience, oversight, and control across their operating models. We support their focus on managing investments and achieving further scalable growth.”
