State Street Corporation announced yesterday that the firm’s private equity assets under administration have surpassed the $100 billion mark.

“We have been encouraged by the overall growth in our private equity servicing business, despite a slowdown within certain sectors of the industry,” said Jack Klinck, executive vice president and global head of State Street’s Alternative Investment Solutions group.

“Our total assets under administration have grown by approximately 20% since establishing our dedicated service offering, and we look forward to building on this strong foundation,” he added.
