State Street Research has formed State Street Research Adviser Retirement Services to develop additional defined contribution services and marketing materials, and has assembled a team of individuals who were promoted internally. Currently, State Street Research provides services to more than 10 defined contribution plans including 401(k) and money purchase plans. The new group also will offer enhanced Internet access for brokers, plan sponsors and participants. Working for the new group are Jeff Kayajanian, vice president of retirement sales, who was retirement sales outside wholesaler for the western territory; Chris Frank, vice president of retirement operations, hired in April from State Street Global Advisors; Stephanie Goodman, vice president of the defined contribution group; and Elizabeth Devin, assistant vice president.
