Northern Trust AM Names New Investment Strategy Chiefs

One of the largest asset managers in the world, the firm has elevated two of its most senior figures in this side of its business.

Northern
Trust Asset Management, part of Chicago-headquartered
Northern
Trust, has appointed Gary Paulin as chief investment
strategist for its international business and Joseph Tanious as
chief investment strategist, North America. They are
replacing Wouter Sturkenboom and Chris Shipley, who have left the
company.

Paulin and Tanious will work with the firm’s investment team in
equities, fixed income, multi asset, and alternatives to build
its economic and markets views. 

Northern Trust said the men will implement insights across
Northern Trust’s global institutional, family office, and wealth
client groups.

NTAM oversees $1.3 trillion in AuM (as of March 31).

Paulin and Tanious report to global co-chief investment officers
Michael Hunstad and Chris Roth.

“As we continue to grow our global business, Gary and Joseph will
help deliver meaningful investment insights and innovative
solutions to clients around the world. In collaboration with our
global investment teams, Gary will contribute to our growth
across Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC)
and Joseph will bolster our strong North America presence,”
Hunstad said.

head of international enterprise client solutions. He joined the
firm in 2016 following the acquisition of Aviate Global LLP,
where he was co-founder. Paulin has a law degree from Victoria
University, New Zealand and a master’s degree in social and
political science from Cambridge University in the UK. He is a
registered representative with the FCA and FINRA and holds Series
