The research center is an internal think tank that develops proprietary models aimed at improving investment processes, a news release said.
A State Street spokesman said the expansion and hiring of additional quantitative research analysts underscores the bank’s commitment to investment research.

These analysts will work to enhance existing models and incorporate newly-developed
quantitative forecasting techniques into the investment process at SSgA.
