State Street Corporation

State Street Corporation is a financial services company serving institutional investors, among them pension funds and asset managers. Its business rests on three pillars: custody of client assets, investment management, and market data and analytics. It also provides investment platforms and decision-support tools - practical instruments rather than theoretical ones - intended for sophisticated investors. The firm has been in operation for more than 230 years and works with clients globally across financial services, asset management, pension funds, institutional investing and capital markets.

The company's work sits within heavily regulated markets. Clients entrust it with asset custody on a large scale, and its services touch pension savings and institutional portfolios, placing legal, regulatory and fiduciary questions close to the centre of the business. Its stated mission is to make the financial system work better for the people who depend on it for their future.

State Street describes a pragmatic culture, explicitly uninterested in reinventing the wheel and focused instead on tools and insights clients can apply. Its teams draw on varied backgrounds - deep financial expertise, technology and data science - and work collaboratively across those disciplines. Technical domains include data analytics, data science, investment platforms and financial data.
