Short Takes: State Street Lands Oregon Pension Job

State Street Bank and Trust Co. has snared a contract to serve as master record keeper and third-party administrator for Oregon's employee deferred-compensation plan.

The state's Public Employees Retirement Board choose State Street's bid last week to handle accounting and customer service for its plan, which has $300 million under management for 12,000 participants.

More than 40,000 Oregon employees are eligible for the plan and the board expects State Street to help it attract more participants.

State Street is building a clientele of public deferred-compensation plans. Last month the subsidiary of State Street Boston Corp. signed on the Maine State Retirement System for two new plans covering 9,000 employees. Other clients include the California Public Employees' Retirement System and California State Teachers plans.
