What SEI Investments does

Provides outsourced investment processing, operations and asset management technology to financial institutions and advisors.

Banks and wealth managers pay it fees to run their investment operations and technology, usually as a share of the assets on its platform plus service charges, so a client's growth lifts its revenue. Its own funds and investment strategies add asset-based fees.

Products and services

  • Investment management (funds/strategies)

What could go right

  • Outsourcing/technology adoption by smaller institutions
  • Asset management fee growth

What could go wrong

  • Equity market sensitivity of AUM-based fees
  • Competition from larger fintech/outsourcing providers

Moat: narrow (switching costs, installed base, process know-how). Deeply embedded back-office/technology outsourcing relationships are costly and risky for clients to unwind.
