State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), the asset management
business of State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), announced today
that James Ross, chairman of the Global SPDR business at SSGA, has
been honored by ETF.com with its Lifetime Achievement Award. The
award was announced at the ETF.com Awards Dinner presented by
Inside ETFs, which was held in New York on March 30, 2017.
ETF.com’s Lifetime Achievement Award honors individuals for
“outstanding long-term contributions to ETF investor outcomes.” In
recognizing Ross for this distinguished award, the organization
acknowledged his leadership, character, integrity and overall
contributions to the ETF industry since its inception.
Ross joined State Street’s fund administration group in July
1992, and a few months later he was tapped to assist with a new
project – the launch of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY). This was
the start of a decades-long commitment to helping all investors
better understand and access the benefits of ETFs. In his current
role as chairman of the Global SPDR business, Ross leads State
Street’s engagement with ETF stakeholders including regulators,
mutual fund and ETF boards of directors, industry associations, key
clients and partners. He is also responsible for advancing the
firm’s long-term ETF strategy, innovation and education. In
addition to these roles, Ross serves as chairman of the Investment
Company Institute’s (ICI) Exchange Traded Funds Committee and is
also on the ICI’s Board of Governors.
“For more than two decades, ETFs have helped transform the
investment landscape by dramatically improving access to a wide
range of asset classes and strategies for countless advisors,
institutions and retail investors,” said Ross. “I’m humbled to be
honored with this Lifetime Achievement Award from ETF.com.”
The ETF.com Awards recognize the people, companies and products
that are impacting the industry and investors. Winners are selected
following a nomination process that incorporates the insights and
opinions of leaders throughout the industry.
“We are all extremely proud to see Jim recognized for everything
he has done to promote responsible innovation in our industry,”
said Ronald P. O’Hanley, CEO of SSGA. "Whether it is his pioneering
work on the team that created the first ETF, his work to educate
investors or his continued efforts to make equity markets stronger,
safer and more resilient, few have done more to reimagine the
future of investing than Jim."
