State Street Announces Indicators Measuring Institutional Investor Flow, Holdings and Carbon Exposure

State Street Corporation announced the launch of three publicly available data-driven indicators that will provide insight into the aggregate portfolio allocation trends of some of the world’s largest institutional investors. The Institutional Investor Holdings Indicator, Institutional Investor Risk Appetite Indicator and the State Street S&P Global Institutional Investor Carbon Indicator, powered by S&P Global Sustainble, will draw on the aggregated and anonymized dataset underlying the assets State Street services to offer investors, as well as other stakeholders, a fact-based alternative to unscientific polls and surveys as a means to gauge institutional investor sentiment. These three new tools will harness the power of State Street’s more than $37 trillion of assets under custody and administration to provide a top-down look into the historically opaque perspective of institutional investors. The indicators are highly aggregated and anonymized to protect the confidentiality of investors. The indicators will be made available on Insights, the research platform of State Street’s markets business.
