(STATE STREET 2007) State Street Appointed By NM Rothschild & Sons to Provide Investment Servicing for US$650 Million in Assets

COMMENT - In my continuous quest to find out who owns what, it is clear that State Street has a very close relationship with NM Rothschild & Sons, the Rothschild family flagship bank. State Street is the biggest shareholder in Goldman Sachs 19.74 million share, last time I checked, and the biggest shareholder by far in JP Morgan with 155.28 million shares, and "has $21.8 trillion in assets under custody and administration". State Street provides pension services to NM Rothschild.
