BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nState Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced that it has signed an initial agreement to acquire the Santander CACEIS Latam Securities Services joint venture in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. The joint venture is owned by the Santander Group and CACEIS, with assets under custody (AUC) of approximately $470 billion and assets under administration (AUA) of approximately $225 billion.1<\/sup><\/p>\n\nThe transaction will augment State Street\u2019s Latin American presence and establish State Street as a leading provider of custody, foreign exchange, and other middle- and back-office services in the region\u2019s three most important institutional investment markets: Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia. Combining State Street\u2019s global platform with established local market presence, regulatory expertise, end-to-end servicing capabilities, and talent across Latin America will significantly expand the firm\u2019s global asset servicing network and strengthen its ability to support institutional investors across some of the world\u2019s fastest growing investment markets.<\/p>\n
\n“Our success in serving the world’s largest and most sophisticated global investors is predicated on our deep local presence and expertise throughout the world. Effectively serving global and regional clients in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia requires this same deep local expertise and presence formula,” said Ron O’Hanley, chairman and chief executive officer of State Street. “This transaction will allow us to better serve our global clients with cross-border and local investment needs in Latin America and strengthen our ability to support investors as they access growth opportunities and manage global investment portfolios, to deliver better outcomes for investors.”<\/p>\n
\nUpon closing, State Street plans to retain the business’s experienced local teams and continue operating the entities through their existing market licenses and regulatory frameworks.<\/p>\n
\n“Our clients are looking for an essential partner that can deliver consistently across markets,\u201d said Joerg Ambrosius, president of Investment Services at State Street. \u201cBy combining State Street\u2019s global platform, which services clients in more than 100 markets, with established local capabilities in Latin America, we are creating a more powerful and connected service model. This expanded model will help clients navigate complexity, manage risk and pursue growth in the region with confidence.”<\/p>\n
\nState Street intends to enter into definitive acquisition documentation following completion of consultation processes with relevant employee representatives. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and, accordingly, is not expected to close until sometime in 2027.<\/p>\n
\nGoldman Sachs & Co. LLC is acting as State Street\u2019s financial advisor for the transaction and Freshfields is acting as legal advisor.<\/p>\n
