Is the 60/40 Portfolio Still Fit for Purpose? Yie-Hsin Hung, CEO, State Street Investment Management

Description

We were surprised, when researching for this interview, to learn that State Street Investment Management are the fourth largest asset manager globally, with circa $6 Trillion of assets. Size confers both opportunity and challenges, however, and in this conversation Yie-Hsin talks about the global savings gap and the evolution of Asset Management. She addresses the place of the historic 60/40 allocations in a world where bonds may not deliver, and inflation is stubborn. She reflects on the turbulence in private markets, the emerging market debt and equity opportunities and why tokenisation is becoming an increasingly potent force. ‍ In January 2026, State Street launched its own Digital Asset Platform, which includes wallet management, custodial, and cash capabilities to support tokenized asset development.
