The Wall Street Journal broke the news of a possible transaction, which would involve the State Street unit managing $4 trillion in assets, much of which is invested in its SPDR series of exchange-traded funds.
Last week, State Street said it is buying the investor services business of Brown Brothers Harriman for $3.5 billion.
In 2017, Invesco Ltd. agreed to purchase Guggenheim Partners’ ETF business in a $1.2 billion deal.

Blue Anchor Capital Management and Pickett also purchased “highly aggressive and volatile” securities, according to the order.
