Northern Trust expands collaboration with Alchemy to support €1bn special opportunities fund

Northern Trust strengthened its long-standing partnership with Alchemy Partners, providing expanded asset servicing solutions for the newly launched Alchemy Special Opportunities Fund V (ASOF V).

The fund, which exceeded its target, raised €1bn ($1.03bn) in total commitments.

Northern Trust will deliver fund administration, depositary, banking, custody, and credit services from its Guernsey office, continuing a relationship that dates back to 1997. Since 2006, Northern Trust has supported Alchemy’s Special Opportunities funds, reinforcing its role in Alchemy’s alternative investment strategies.

ASOF V, structured as a Guernsey partnership with a US feeder partnership, will invest in mid-market corporate special situations across Europe, focusing on loans, debt, and equity securities. Alchemy currently manages over €3bn in assets, with the fund also comprising Luxembourg entities supported by Northern Trust’s Global Fund Services team.
