Northern Trust Asset Management, a division of Northern Trust, has recently announced the appointment of Gary Paulin as chief investment strategist, International, and Joseph Tanious as chief investment strategist, North America. These two seasoned professionals will be working closely with the firm’s investment teams across various asset classes to shape economic and market perspectives.
In their new roles, Paulin and Tanious will collaborate with investment leaders to conduct research on new instruments and market developments, such as thematics, public/private assets, digital assets, active ETFs, and model portfolios. Their insights will play a crucial role in supporting Northern Trust’s global institutional, family office, and wealth client groups.
Earlier this month, Northern Trust Asset Management also named Michael Hunstad and Christian Roth as global co-chief investment officers (co-CIOs), effective 1 June 2025. Both Paulin and Tanious will work closely with Hunstad and Roth to communicate the firm’s investment outlook across asset classes and provide analysis and thought leadership for the broader market.
According to Chris Roth, one of the global co-chief investment officers, “Gary and Joseph have deep capital markets expertise and a keen understanding of the trends shaping global markets.” Paulin, who has been with Northern Trust for nine years, previously served as the head of international enterprise client solutions. On the other hand, Tanious joins from Bessemer Trust, where he held the position of managing director and head of portfolio strategy and construction, overseeing $200 billion in assets.
Hunstad emphasized the importance of Paulin and Tanious in delivering meaningful investment insights and innovative solutions to clients worldwide as Northern Trust continues to expand its global business. Paulin will focus on driving growth across Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and Asia-Pacific (APAC), while Tanious will strengthen the firm’s presence in North America.
