State Street's clients are among the world's most sophisticated investors, including collective investment providers, investment managers, pension plan sponsors and individuals. In serving these clients, we leverage powerful global capabilities — intellectual, operational and technological — to deliver the support they need to achieve their unique business objectives.

As a specialist provider of financial services, our unwavering focus on serving global investors has enabled us to anticipate market trends that will affect how our clients do business — and to develop the technologies, products and services that help investors benefit from the resulting opportunities.

We were the first to offer full multicurrency accounting capabilities, well in advance of our clients' expansion into emerging and cross-border economies. As investment vehicles grew in complexity, State Street led the industry in offering enhanced risk-management, performance measurement and compliance tools. And our commitment to technology development continues to yield innovative, leading-edge products and services in all phases of the investment process.

Through an integrated network of offices in over 20 countries, we deliver the financial strength of a global organization with the local market expertise of 20,000 professionals. Because we take a partnership approach to each client relationship, we excel in identifying the challenges our clients face — and in creating customized, scalable solutions that will help them succeed.
