The company services financial clients by creating and managing investment strategies for non-profit foundations, businesses, corporations, associations, governments, educational institutions, and religious organizations. In addition to institutional services, SSgA produces investment vehicles for the retail market in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia. SSgA employs 2,400 people in 25 locations (11 of which handle assets) around the world. ==History== The asset management division of State Street Bank was founded in 1978 in Boston, Massachusetts. Its first three products were a domestic index fund, an international index fund (based on the MSCI EAFE index), and a short-term investment fund. By 1989 the division had $53 billion (USD) in assets under management. In 1990 State Street Global Advisors was formed as a separate entity from State Street Bank with the mission of expanding globally. SSgA opened its first global office in London. By 1994 SSgA had offices in Brussels, Hong Kong, Toronto, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, Dubai, San Francisco, Montreal, and Atlanta. Between 1995 and 1999 five more offices opened in Munich, Zürich, Santiago, Singapore, and Chicago. From 2000 to 2007 SSgA set up operations in Milan, Bangalore and Melbourne. SSgA invented the investment vehicle known as the exchange-traded fund (ETF) in 1993 with the introduction of the S&P 500 SPDR product (Ticker: ),〔(Article on SPDR Funds ) from (The Street )〕 which is traded on the American Stock Exchange. SSgA is the number two ETF manager in the world second only to BlackRock.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indexuniverse.com/sections/etf-league-tables/20976-etf-league-table-as-of-jan-21-2014.html )〕 Assets under management climbed to $161 billion (USD) in 1994 and more than quadrupled to $667 billion by 1999. Since 2000, SSgA has focused on increasing its client based outside of the United States and developing actively managed investment products. As of 2006, one-third of assets under management were from non-US investors. In 2003, SSgA's Boston office moved to the newly completed State Street Financial Center building at One Lincoln Street. SSgA launched the first foreign real estate ETF in 2006 (Ticker: ),〔("New real-estate ETF is a globe-trotter" ) from (Dow Jones Market Watch )〕 which provides investors in the US an easy way to access the international housing and commercial development markets. In January 2011, SSgA completed its acquisition of Bank of Ireland Asset Management (BIAM). The acquisition was first announced in October 2010 for approximately €57 million. The acquisition enhances SSgA’s range of investment management solutions and expands State Street’s overall presence in Ireland where it has been serving institutional clients for 15 years.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「State Street Global Advisors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
