Sign InIn a move reflecting the drive by major financial institutions to strengthen their footprint in emerging markets, State Street has signed an initial agreement to acquire the Santander CACEIS Latam joint venture. This acquisition aims to expand the company's operations across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, enhancing its asset servicing capabilities for institutional investors. According to reports, the transaction is expected to close in 2027, establishing State Street as a leading asset servicing provider in the region.
The deal is anticipated to significantly boost the firm's portfolio, adding approximately $470 billion in assets under custody and $225 billion in assets under administration. This strategic step seeks to integrate State Street’s global platform with local expertise in Latin America's three largest investment markets. Following the close, the company intends to retain existing local teams and continue operating through current regulatory frameworks and licenses.
