BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced an extension of its exchange traded fund (ETF) and mutual fund servicing relationship with VanEck, a leading global asset management firm. The new, extended agreement includes comprehensive support for VanEck’s expanding range of ETF funds, and reflects State Street’s commitment to providing innovative solutions and enhanced services to meet the dynamic demands of the global ETF marketplace.

“We’re thrilled to further deepen our longstanding partnership with VanEck, a respected leader in the ETF space,” said Joerg Ambrosius, president of Investment Services for State Street. “The renewal underscores our firm’s commitment to delivering industry leading ETF servicing solutions, and we look forward to continuing to demonstrate our flexibility and commitment to assist them in achieving their product and asset class expansion goals.”
