Alliance Bernstein has selected State Street to service its Asian and Australian operations, valued at over $300 billion. [1] Building on the companies’ longstanding relationship, State Street will offer services ranging from trade settlement, portfolio administration and reconciliation to client reporting, and performance management. Meanwhile, the strong performance record of Global Equity Spotlight Strategy got State Street Global Advisors, the company’s investment management arm, a €111 million equity mandate from Sweden’s Lansforsakringar Fondforvaltning [2] while PIMCO decided to retain State Street’s operations outsourcing services for $1.3 trillion in assets. [3] We believe that these developments demonstrate that the company is well-positioned to face the current market uncertainty by staying focused on its client base.
In its attempt to expand and benefit from the chaos in the European financial sector, the company is looking for favorable acquisition opportunities on the other side of the Atlantic. [4] The company also plans to request a share repurchase plan next year, aiming at a 20% to 25% payout ratio.
