Great question.
No, State Street is not a short seller in this context. Based on the Form 603:
State Street and its related entities (like State Street Global Advisors and State Street Bank and Trust Company) have declared a substantial long position in Mesoblast (owning over 5% of shares).
This form shows they have a relevant interest in voting shares—typically held on behalf of clients in managed funds or ETFs.
The shares are held as an investment manager or trustee, not as a short seller.
Important Distinction:
If State Street were shorting MSB, we would not see a Form 603 showing ownership.
Short selling would typically show up through short position disclosures (not shareholding notices), and shorters borrow shares to sell them—they don’t own them.
So, this filing indicates they are holders, not shorters—though it’s still possible that some clients of State Street could be shorting via other means (but that’s not shown in this document).
Would you like me to check MSB’s current short interest levels as well?
