I used to work as an investment consultant and helped endowments and families manage their portfolios. One family client used Northern Trust for its custodial services and invested in NT's bond funds and money market funds. I found that Northern Trust provided reliable customer service and offered high quality products. Northern Trust's financial planning arm doesn't just offer investment advice - they can help you prepare for a wedding, divorce, birth, death, move and transfer of wealth or business. I think Northern Trust is worth a look.
