Yie-hsin Hung, president and CEO of State Street Investment Management, discussed market conditions and investment strategy in recent media appearances. In September 2026, she said investors have entered a new era where resilient portfolios are rewarded, citing increased capital costs, geopolitical tensions, and technological change as pervasive factors. Hung stated that State Street remains at benchmark for equities and fixed income, while emphasizing opportunities in companies with durable earnings and strong balance sheets. She also discussed the firm's target date fund series, which includes a 10% persistent allocation to private markets alongside liquid, index-oriented investments, and noted the launch of a low-cost S&P 500 product as a default option for new accounts. In an August 2026 interview, Hung said the US economy is in good shape and called for the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates steady for the remainder of the year, citing a weaker labor report and an inflation picture that does not support rate increases. She described money market funds as becoming a durable asset class, with investors keeping cash there despite market regime changes. Hung said State Street is overweight equities, primarily in the US and secondarily in emerging markets, and characterized investor sentiment as "more optimistic" on balance, with strong fundamentals offsetting concerns about valuations and debt financing.

Notable quotes

“I think with the Friday report, it showed the labor economy being a little bit weaker. It's not a really strong source of inflation. And it's really that inflation picture that guides us to say, this is not a time to be raising rates.”

“We are overweight, equities today. US first primarily, emerging market market secondarily, and I think it's really on the backs back of tremendous corporate earnings strength. We think that the economy is in pretty good shape. Although from our perspective, we believe the Fed really should hold steady on rates, and that's what we're calling for for the balance of this year.”

“Today, a lot of the activity and focus is around tokenizing money market funds. We're doing the exact same thing because in large part, whether it's an institution that wants to post collateral and do that in a frictionless way, otherwise they're having to redeem from a money market fund, post cash, not very efficient. But increasingly you have investors basically investing on chain right in their digital wallets.”

“In the US, for example, 85% of all companies with more than 100 million of revenues are privately held. And we all know that the regulatory environment for banks has had them really not be in a position to extend credit. And that's led to the growth in private credit because in some cases, you just can't get the access in the public markets.”

“The 60/40 traditional model worked for a very very long time, but it was also a period of time when we saw declining interest rates for multiple decades. And so under that scenario, bonds actually delivered pretty compelling total returns. We're now in an environment where we're sort of flat to increasing interest rates. And so the likelihood of bonds delivering that kind of total return is much reduced.”

“ETFs continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in the asset management industry. Obviously it was led by the US, but the adoption around the world has been actually kind of surprising. What we've seen in markets like Japan or Germany where there are tax advantage savings plans being introduced by those governments is that that is accelerating individuals use of those kinds of products.”
