State Street chairman and CEO Joseph Hooley said: “Our third-quarter and year-to-date results reflect solid performance demonstrated by EPS growth of 13% and 24% compared to 3Q17 and the 2017 year-to-date period, respectively. Our new business remains strong as evidenced by $300 billion in new asset servicing commitments in the third quarter and $1.8 trillion year-to-date.
