About SEI Investments Company
About SEI Investments Company
SEI Investments Company generated $2.3 billion in total revenues in 2025, with the Investment Managers segment contributing 35%, Private Banks 26%, Investment Advisors 25%, and Institutional Investors 12% of consolidated revenues. Technology and operations outsourcing represented 57% of revenue; asset management fees, 38%. The company managed $455.4 billion in assets directly and had 4,997 full-time employees at December 31, 2025, with an additional $99.2 billion managed by unconsolidated affiliate LSV Asset Management.
SEI earns fees primarily as a percentage of assets under management or administration, with Investment Managers and Private Banks contracts typically running three to seven years. The Investment Managers segment held $1.5 trillion in assets under management or administration at December 31, 2025 — $1.0 trillion in alternative assets and $0.5 trillion in public assets — competing against SS&C Technologies, State Street, BNY Mellon, Northern Trust, and Citco. The Private Banks segment had $8.1 trillion in assets on SEI wealth management platforms, competing with FIS, SS&C Innovest, FNZ UK, and Avaloq; the Investment Advisors segment competes with Charles Schwab and Fidelity Investments for custody and advisor technology. In December 2025, SEI completed the first stage of an investment in Stratos Wealth Holdings — a network of over 350 financial advisors — for approximately $544 million, acquiring a 57.5% majority stake.
Show full overview
SEI operates through 15 or more regulated subsidiaries spanning the OCC (SPTC, a federal thrift), the SEC (SIDCO, SIMC, and five Stratos-affiliated RIAs), FINRA, and foreign regulators including the UK FCA (SIEL), the Central Bank of Ireland (three entities), the Luxembourg CSSF (SEI Lux), and the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority. The 10-K specifically notes that SIEL is working with the FCA to determine the nature and scope of remedial actions in which SIEL will engage in order to meet the FCA's expectations — an active supervisory dialogue that may constrain the UK subsidiary's ability to grow and offer new products.
