Description
State Street, a global financial services firm, announced the integration of the Mizuho Trust & Banking Luxembourg and the IFDS staff, resulting in 460 new positions being created in Luxembourg. The newly created jobs involve the staff of the Mizuho and IFDS units.
The restructuring is set to commence with the IFDS staff integration on 1 October 2025 and will continue with the Mizuho staff transition on 1 November 2025, with the consolidated workforce expected to operate from the new Cloche d’Or building by July 2026.
The move is driven by State Street’s strategic expansion of its services for Japanese clients and the consolidation of its asset‑management capabilities. By acquiring Mizuho’s non-Japanese asset‑management operations and terminating the joint venture with SS&C, State Street seeks to strengthen its global footprint and enhance its offerings to a key market.
State Street employs approximately 52,000 people worldwide and manages about 49 trillion USD (42 trillion EUR) of assets as of 30 June 2025. The new Cloche d’Or headquarters will accommodate between 850 and 900 employees, and the company plans to use flexible workspaces and remote‑work policies to adapt to future growth.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
