Northern Trust has expanded its collateralised loan obligation (CLO) middle office services for institutional clients. The addition of compliance indenture monitoring and waterfall calculation capabilities to its Omnium platform builds on Northern Trust’s existing outsourced middle office functions for structured debt, which include loan closing, treasury and real-time data shares.
The new capabilities provide a unified operational and compliance framework that supports the full lifecycle of CLOs. The service introduces a rules-based framework for monitoring a wide array of CLO indenture tests, including concentration limits, credit rating thresholds, interest coverage, over-collateralization, and collateral quality requirements.
