Key Considerations

• 📊 The Invesco appointment highlights Northern Trust's role in complex index tracking structures for Irish domiciled funds, which may reinforce its franchise in asset servicing and custody.
• 📊 Watch for any disclosure on assets under administration related to these funds, fee impacts, and whether this structure is replicated with other clients.
• ⚠️ Recent significant insider selling is flagged as a risk, so compare that activity with the strong share price performance when assessing position size.
