At the same time, we raised our long-term counterparty credit rating on subsidiary Northern Trust Co., Chicago, IL, to 'AA' from 'AA-'. The outlook on both ratings is stable. We raised the rating on the subsidiary after applying our ratings criteria for holding companies and their subsidiaries regarding structural subordination between the holding company and the operating company. The rating affirmation on the holding company followed a full review of the company, including its liquidity, capital, and competitive positions.
