State Street hit by restructuring costs
STATE Street, one of the world’s largest institutional investors, said quarterly earnings dropped due to costs of repositioning its portfolio and cutting jobs.

Excluding special items, earnings rose to 87 cents a share from 71 cents, beating analysts’ expectations by one cent.
Revenue rose 9.6 per cent to $2.28bn. Fee revenue increased 10 per cent to $1.7bn, fuelled by a dramatic jump in processing fees and servicing fees.
Assets under custody and administration climbed 15 per cent to $21.5 trillion. Assets under management rose three per cent to $2.01trillion
