Major custodian, Northern Trust has retained a key mandate, being reappointed by QIC Limited for a further seven years to deliver investment operations outsourcing, global custody, fund accounting, taxation and associated services for its range of Australian fund products and discrete mandates.

Northern Trust head of global fund services for Asia Pacific, Peter Jordan, welcomed the renewed mandate, noting that Northern Trust had evolved its partnership with QIC as their requirements and product range had changed.
