State Street’s assets under management totalled $2.8 trillion as at 31 March 2019, a 3% rise from $2.73 trillion last year.
Assets under custody and administration dipped 2% to $32.64 trillion from $33.28 trillion.
State Street president and CEO Ronald O’Hanley said: “Given the secular trends impacting our industry, we continue to prioritise strong service quality and innovation and are working to reignite servicing fee revenue growth through initiatives targeted at specific client segments and markets.
“Reflecting our priorities, we also resumed share repurchases during the quarter, returning approximately $480 million of capital to shareholders in share repurchases and dividends, and believe we are well-positioned for the 2019 CCAR process.”
