Northern Trust does a great job with my folk’s money, but they do have a vested interest in high taxes, since high taxes mean that people need help structuring their assets to minimize taxes.

Correct. One of the few trust companies that has good returns. Bessemer Trust is another.

Incorrect. Northern Trust generates its revenues primarily on fees generated by managing the total asset values of clients accounts. That is, the higher the value of the account the greater the fees generated.
