State Street Reappointed by Aberdeen Standard Investments to Provide Full Range of Investment Servicing Solutions

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--State Street Corporation (NYSE:STT) today announced that it has been reappointed by Aberdeen Standard Investments (ASI) to continue to provide a variety of back office servicing solutions. ASI is a global asset manager dedicated to creating long-term value for its clients.

As part of the renewal, State Street will provide global custody, accounting, and fund administration for ASI’s fund ranges in the United States and Canada.

In June, State Street released a research study that noted that institutional investors were retaining high levels of confidence in their asset managers amid the COVID-19 crisis. However, the survey also revealed that the pandemic has also created major challenges for managers and their back office functions; as 37% of institutional investors found securities valuations ‘challenging’ or ‘extremely challenging’ during the crisis. This was followed by liquidity (34%), timely reporting (34%) and cash forecasting (30%).ⁱ

“The COVID-19 crisis has presented unparalleled challenges, and we remain committed to partnering with our clients to help them generate and sustain growth,” said Donna Milrod, head of the global clients division for State Street. “We are very pleased to extend our very important relationship with Aberdeen Standard Investments.”
