Financial Summary

The Financial Summary displays balances and market values for your Northern Trust, Northern Trust Securities, Inc., Northern Funds accounts and Passportfolio® accounts.

For banking deposit accounts, balances are updated throughout each business day. For all other accounts, including Passportfolio®, account balances are current as of the close of the previous business day. Your Northern Trust accounts are indicated with a gold dot.

The Financial Summary can serve as a central place to track your finances, including accounts you hold outside of Northern Trust. Any accounts that you can access online at other institutions can be added to Private Passport using My Passportfolio®. In addition, you can manually add any other assets and liabilities, such as art, jewelry or real estate using Passportfolio Asset and Other Liabilities feature. With Passportfolio Portfolio WIth Holdings feature you can track securities. If you can enter ticker symbols and number of shares, Passportfolio® will automatically update the market prices of your holdings each night.

The Non-Financial Accounts section displays accounts from non-financial categories supported by the Passportfolio service, but not included in total net amount calculation. This category includes Rewards and other future non-financial account types we add to the service.

On this page, you can:

You can customize the Financial Summary by changing account titles to your own nicknames and by organizing accounts into your own groups. For more information, see How can I customize Private Passport?

Notes:
  • Irrevocable Trust accounts are not included in the assets total at the top of the Financial Summary.
  • Non-Financial Accounts like Rewards do not have a total and are not calculated in the total asset, total liabilities or total Net Amounts located at the top of the financial summary.

To sort your list of accounts:

Initially, accounts on the Financial Summary are sorted alphabetically by account name within each group. Groups are also alphabetical, although your custom groups appear before Northern's default groups. You can use the sort iconsnext to a column title to sort by that column. Each time you go back to the Financial Summary, it uses the last sort order you selected.

The page refreshes using the sort order you selected. All groups on the page use the same sort order. The top or bottom sort icon for a column is darkened to indicate the current sort order.

Notes: The Financial Summary page always displays the assets section at the top and liabilities at the bottom. Groups within the Assets or Liabilities sections are always organized alphabetically; they are not rearranged when you sort. If you want your account groups in a certain order, edit your group names so that their alphabetical order matches the order in which you want the groups displayed from top to bottom on Financial Summary and other summary pages. Non- Financial Passportfolio Accounts, like Rewards are not included in Assets or Liabilities.
