Problems at SSgA

State Street is parting ways with William Hunt, head of the company's investment management arm State Street Global Advisors. Although the company said Hunt resigned, he will receive a severance package worth $14.1 million.

State Street has reserved $618 million to contend with investor lawsuits related to its fixed income strategies (translation: the CDO subprime mess), which resulted in a $279 million charge to earnings.
