State Street chairman and CEO Ron O’Hanley said: “These results reflect year-over-year growth in nearly all fee revenue lines and continued advancement of our strategy amid a difficult and complex operating environment.
“Despite the challenges, we achieved strong new business wins, maintained pricing discipline, and saw continued demand for Charles River Development and State Street Alpha, our front-to-back servicing platform, including the signing of a large new client.
“Though persistent low rates depressed net interest income during the quarter, deposit levels remain strong, allowing us to lend more to our clients and reinvest in our investment portfolio. Furthermore, our laser focus on enhancing productivity and reducing expenses continues.”
