State Street Investment Management recently launched five actively managed MyIncome target-maturity high-yield corporate bond ETFs, coinciding with State Street Corporation declaring cash dividends. This move aims to expand fee-based products while maintaining shareholder returns. While the new ETFs modestly reinforce State Street’s fee-growth narrative, the primary risk remains pricing pressure across passive and ETF products, potentially impacting margins.
