STATE STREET BOSTON ACQUIRES
INVESTORS FIDUCIARY TRUST COMPANY
Boston, MA...January 31, 1995
State Street Boston Corporation announced today that it
completed its previously announced acquisition of Investors
Fiduciary Trust Company ("IFTC"), a servicer of mutual funds with
approximately $130 billion of assets under custody based in
Kansas City, Missouri. IFTC was purchased from DST Systems, Inc.
and Kemper Financial Services, Inc.
The acquisition strengthens State Street's market leadership
and increases total assets under custody to $1.8 trillion. IFTC
brings additional customers and different systems alternatives to
service the mutual funds market. State Street will bring its
broad range of global products to these customers.
"We plan to operate IFTC as a separate entity providing the
high quality of service for which it is recognized, in the same
manner in which it has in the past. In this way we will provide
the marketplace with service alternatives suited to a customer's
particular needs. We are particularly pleased that Thomas J.
McCrossan will be appointed President of IFTC," said Ronald E.
Logue, Executive Vice President responsible for Mutual Fund
Services at State Street. He continued, "Tom brings a wealth of
global custody experience to the marketplace at a time when the
globalization of mutual fund portfolios continues at a rapid
pace." Mr. McCrossan's prior experience included operations
management at Citibank and most recently, management of Chase
Manhattan Bank's Global Securities Services Unit at Bournemouth,
England. He will report to Mr. Logue.
IFTC was acquired for 5,972,222 shares of State Street's
common stock. State Street is accounting for the transaction as
a pooling of interests. One time transaction costs are estimated
to be $.03 per share and will be recorded in the first quarter.
No earnings dilution is expected for the full-year 1995.
