State Street's MENA HQ and Alternatives Push Reaffirms Investment Story

State Street Corporation has launched its Middle East and North Africa Regional Headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and made a minority investment in Coller Capital, a specialist in alternative investments. This move signals the company's intent to boost its regional influence and strengthen its position in the fast-growing alternatives sector, but does not change the biggest catalyst for its investment story, which remains rising global wealth and ETF inflows.
