State Street Honors Top Institutional Financial Journalists at 2025 Press Awards Asia Pacific

HONG KONG, April 21, 2026 - State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT) today announced the winners of the State Street Institutional Press Awards Asia Pacific 2025, recognizing outstanding news reporting covering institutional finance across the Asia Pacific region.

The Awards debuted in Asia Pacific in 2012, building on the long-standing success of the State Street Institutional Press Awards, which have been held in London since 2002. This year's winning articles were selected for their style, content, accuracy, and timeliness by an independent panel of seven industry professionals. The judging was chaired by William Mellor, an independent writer and producer who previously served as senior writer and Asia correspondent for Bloomberg News. Other members of the judging panel included:

• Raymond Li, professor of Practice and Head of Department of Journalism at Hong Kong Baptist University
• King Au, executive director at the Financial Services Development Council (FSDC)
• Lawrence Au, founder and CEO of The LaunchPad.Biz
• Allen Cheng, founder and Chief Adviser of Hong Kong-based Advise Insight Ltd
• Jame DiBiasio, author, journalist and media entrepreneur
• Alison Tudor, former journalist and multimedia editor

The marquee Outstanding Contribution to Institutional Journalism Award, nominated and voted on by the judges, was awarded to Enoch Yiu of South China Morning Post. The panel praised Enoch's nearly thirty-year dedication to institutional journalism and her strong sourcing. She has been recognized six times at the State Street Institutional Press Awards, highlighting her articles that address complex, less visible topics like regulation and investment services. Yiu's 2025 submissions showcased particularly balanced, high-quality journalism, reflecting ongoing professional growth.

"We are thrilled to celebrate this year's honorees and highly commended journalists for their commitment and excellence in covering pivotal financial issues shaping today's markets," said Stefan Gmuer, head of Asia Pacific at State Street. "The response was incredible, with around 250 submissions received this year. It is a privilege to acknowledge the essential work journalists do in advancing knowledge and sparking important dialogue throughout the global investment community and beyond."

"This year's entries raised the bar once again and demonstrated outstanding ability," said William Mellor, the lead judge. "The diversity and caliber of the journalism submitted made our task as judges both deeply rewarding and considerably challenging. We reviewed work that tackled complex topics and provided clear, valuable insights. These awards emphasize the vital role of high-quality journalism plays in keeping the financial community well informed and engaged."
