With a time-tested, robust model in existence, we offer a full suite of research-based advisory services and investment strategies tailored to meet the objectives of each of our clients.

Whether the focus is on risk management or alpha generation, we partner with our clients to identify the appropriate currency management program to improve overall portfolio performance. For investors concerned with mitigating currency risk, we offer passive hedging services as well as guidance in defining the optimal hedging parameters given the characteristics of the underlying portfolio.

In both cases, we are committed to providing our clients with full transparency into our investment process and performance attribution.

Furthermore, with a research team dedicated to testing the robustness of our strategy while searching for new sources of alpha and a product development team focused on incorporating such research into our investment process, State Street Associates continues to pioneer the industry in terms of research and implementation. Such innovation and has allowed us to consistently achieve above-industry average performance.
