The company operates primarily within the asset servicing and asset management industries, serving institutional investors such as asset managers, pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, and official institutions. State Street is widely recognized as one of the world’s largest custodial banks by assets under custody and/or administration (AUC/A).

State Street’s strategic positioning is built around scale, deep integration into clients’ operational infrastructure, and long-standing relationships with large institutional investors. Founded in 1792 as Union Bank in Boston, State Street evolved over more than two centuries from a regional bank into a global provider of institutional financial services, with a strategic pivot toward custody, servicing, and asset management during the late 20th century.
