Northern Trust added $2.4 billion worth of US Treasury notes to its book during the first quarter, which it then swapped to floating-rate coupons, in an ostensible bid to both cap duration and retain the opportunity to reap fair-value gains should the Federal Reserve ease monetary policy.

The custodian bank’s available-for-sale (AFS) Treasuries jumped 68.7% to $6.1 billion during the period.
