State Street Global Advisors has been appointed as a portfolio strategist firm by Genworth Financial Wealth Management to manage a series of six tactical asset allocation portfolios using State Street’s SPDR exchange traded funds.

“We are delighted to bring SSgA’s sophisticated institutional investment management skill to the retail market through an offering that combines their strengths in asset allocation and ETFs,” says Michael Abelson, senior vice president product management at Genworth Financial Wealth Management (pictured). “The addition of State Street Global Advisors as a Genworth portfolio strategist will further enhance our investment management platform.”

SSgA’s Global Asset Allocation team manages more than USD170bn (as of 31 December 2008) in total assets. State Street is one of the largest ETF providers in the US with more than USD159bn ETF assets under management.
