State Street Corporation is a financial services company serving institutional investors, with technical work concentrated in data analytics, data science, investment platforms and financial technology. The firm applies these disciplines to a business built around asset custody, investment management, and market data and analytics, all intended to support better investment decisions. Its data and analytics products are designed to help clients understand what is happening in the markets and to inform decision-making; its investment platforms are built to help institutional investors navigate global markets.
The company has been in operation for more than 230 years and works with institutional clients globally, across financial services, institutional investing, pension funds and asset management. Alongside its technology and data offerings, State Street provides day-to-day custody of client assets and investment management services to institutional clients.
Teams bring together backgrounds in finance, technology and data science, with an emphasis on collaboration across those disciplines. The stated approach is pragmatic rather than speculative: not trying to reinvent the wheel, but delivering practical tools and insights. The company describes its mission in terms of making the financial system work better for people who depend on it for their future, and positions itself as a long-term partner to sophisticated institutional investors.
