Current report
Net gain from consolidated variable interest entities
Current report
Net gain from consolidated variable interest entities in 2025 reflects the total net gains of the LSV Global Market Neutral Fund LP consolidated into our financial statements. The portion of this gain associated with our investment in the fund was $5.3 million during 2025.

On July 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed new tax legislation known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law which makes permanent many of the provisions enacted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were scheduled to expire at the end of 2025. The enactment of the OBBBA primarily impacted the deferred tax liability and income tax payable related to the provisions for the elimination of the capitalization of onshore research and development costs (Section 174) and the reintroduction of 100% bonus depreciation (Section 168) and did not have a significant impact to the effective tax rate.

Removed paragraphs (89)
Previous report
•Operating expenses increased from higher personnel costs due to business growth, primarily in the Investment Managers segment, and the impact of inflation on wages and services. Cost containment measures related to consulting and other vendor costs partially offset the increase in operating expenses in 2024.
Previous report
•During the fourth quarter of 2024, we recognized additional personnel costs from a one-time increase in our incentive compensation awards to employees as a result of better than expected financial results.
Previous report
•Stock-based compensation costs related to stock options increased during 2024 primarily from the acceleration of $11.2 million in expense from a change in estimate of the attainment of vesting targets for these awards due to strong earnings growth (See the caption "Stock-Based Compensation" later in this discussion for more information).
Previous report
•In July 2024, SEI sold a condominium located in New York, New York and recognized a net pre-tax gain of $8.2 million after associated costs and expenses.

Previous report
•Revenue from Information processing and software servicing fees decreased primarily from one-time early termination fees of $88.0 million from a significant client of the Private Banks segment recorded during the first quarter 2022. A one-time early contractual buyout fee of $10.5 million recorded during the second quarter 2023 from an investment processing client of the Private Banks segment acquired by an existing client partially offset the decline in revenues. Revenue from Information processing and software servicing fees was positively impacted by new client conversions and growth from existing SWP clients during 2023.
Previous report
•Revenue from Assets under management, administration, and distribution fees was favorably impacted by higher assets under administration due to new products and additional services provided to existing alternative investment clients of the Investment Managers segment. Average assets under administration increased $38.4 billion, or 5%, to $880.3 billion during 2023 as compared to $841.9 billion during 2022.
Previous report
•Revenue from Asset management, administration and distribution fees was unfavorably impacted by lower assets under management in equity and fixed income programs from negative cash flows from SEI fund programs and declining average basis points earned on assets in the Investment Advisors segment and client losses in the Institutional Investors segment. The unfavorable impact was partially offset by market appreciation and positive cash flows into separately managed account programs of the Investment Advisors segment. Average assets under management in equity and fixed income programs, excluding LSV, decreased $6.5 billion, or 4%, to $168.6 billion during 2023 as compared to $175.1 billion during 2022.
Previous report
•Earnings from LSV increased by $6.3 million, or 5%, in 2023 due to market appreciation and higher performance fees. Negative cash flows from existing clients and client losses partially offset the increase in earnings from LSV.
Previous report
•The decline in operating expenses was primarily due to total costs of $54.8 million related to the Voluntary Separation Program (VSP) recognized during the third quarter 2022. These one-time costs are primarily included in Compensation, benefits and other personnel costs on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and are reported in corporate overhead expenses. Decreased non-capitalized consulting costs also contributed to the decline in operating expenses during 2023.
Previous report
•Management decided to abandon certain functionality within the platform for the Investment Managers segment due to a change in development strategy and wrote off $5.3 million of previously capitalized software development costs during the fourth quarter 2023. The expense associated with the write off is included in Facilities, supplies and other costs on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Previous report
•Amortization expense related to SWP was $25.6 million in 2023 as compared to $35.6 million in 2022. The decline in amortization expense was due to the amortization period of the initial development costs related to SWP which ended in second-quarter 2022.
Previous report
•Interest and dividend income was $41.0 million in 2023 as compared to $13.3 million in 2022. The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to an increase in market interest rates.
Previous report
•The effective tax rate during 2023 was 22.3% as compared to 22.0% during 2022. The increase in the effective rate was primarily due to reduced tax benefits related to stock option exercises.
Previous report
•On November 20, 2023, our wholly-owned operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom closed the acquisition of XPS Pensions (Nexus) Limited, principal employer and scheme funder of the National Pensions Trust. We paid a cash consideration of $43.9 million, net for the acquisition and recorded a contingent consideration of $3.9 million that may be earned by the seller over the two years after the closing, subject to the achievement of certain post-closing performance measurements (See Note 16 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Previous report
•On December 20, 2023, we acquired Altigo, a cloud-based technology platform that provides inventory, e-subscription, and reporting capabilities for alternative investments, for a cash consideration of $12.5 million (See Note 16 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Previous report
Investment Processing and Software Servicing Fees
Previous report
Investment processing and software servicing fees in our Private Banks segment primarily include application and business-process-outsourcing services, professional fees and transaction-based services. Application and business-process-outsourcing services revenues are based upon the type and number of investor accounts serviced or as a percentage of the market value of the clients’ asset processed on our platforms. Professional services revenues are earned from contracted, project-oriented services. Transaction-based revenues are primarily earned from fees earned on securities trades executed on behalf of our clients. During the fourth quarter of 2024, approximately 47% of our investment processing and software servicing fees are earned as a percentage of the market value of clients’ asset processed, primarily from SWP and our solution clients.
Previous report
Investment Management Platforms
Previous report
Our investment management platforms include investment management programs and back-office investment processing outsourcing services and are generally offered on a bundled basis. Although we believe the breadth of our business solutions offer a competitive advantage, factors such as the underperformance of investment products that we manage relative to our competitors or to benchmarks and client preferences for lower cost investment products offered through an unbundled model have resulted in cash outflows and a loss of management fees primarily impacting the Investment Advisors segment.
Previous report
Sensitivity of our revenues and earnings to capital market fluctuations
Previous report
The majority of our revenues are based on the value of assets invested in investment products that we manage or administer which are affected by changes in the capital markets and the portfolio strategy of our clients or their customers. The continuation of favorable capital market returns during 2024 had a positive impact on our asset-based fees thereby contributing to growth in our base revenues. Macroeconomic factors such as the reacceleration of inflationary pressures, higher long term interest rates, continued monetary stimulus measures from central banks, and geopolitical tensions, among others, could have significant influence on capital markets in 2025 and beyond. Any prolonged future downturns in general capital market conditions could have adverse effects on our revenues and earnings derived from assets under management and administration.
Previous report
SEI Integrated Cash Program
Previous report
In December 2023, we launched the SEI Integrated Cash program, an enhanced cash sweep program offered through SPTC's custody services utilizing an SEI-sponsored money market mutual fund for investment-related cash allocations and FDIC-insured deposit accounts through a network of independent banks. Under the terms of the program, SPTC will earn interest income based on the portion of its client’s cash balances held in the FDIC-insured accounts. This program generated revenue of $51.5 million for the Investment Advisors segment in 2024. A decline in market interest rates or an increase in alternative cash management options selected by clients could significantly reduce the earnings derived from this program. The assets related to the SEI Integrated Cash program are included in Platform-only assets-deposit program of the Investment Advisors segment on the accompanying Ending Assets Balances and Average Assets Balances schedules.
Previous report
External factors affecting the fiduciary management market
Previous report
The utilization of defined benefit plans by employers in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom has been steadily declining. A number of our clients of the Institutional Investors segment have frozen or curtailed their defined benefit plans resulting in decreased revenues and earnings. The current growth strategies of our Institutional Investors segment include entering new global markets and placing greater emphasis on defined contribution and not-for-profit organizations fiduciary management sales opportunities. These strategies may not be successful in mitigating the impact of lower revenues resulting from defined benefit client losses.
Previous report
Business Growth
Previous report
Implementing new clients and making strategic investments that drive future revenue growth involves financial, managerial, and operational challenges. We may incur significant expenses to position our technology and operational infrastructure in connection with onboarding new clients and developing new products and services to enter new or adjacent markets. Our overall profitability would be negatively affected if strategic investments and expenses associated with such growth are not matched or exceeded on a timely basis by the revenues that are derived from such investment or growth.

Additionally, personnel costs increased from enhancements to further build our compliance infrastructure. The decrease in corporate overhead expenses during 2023 was primarily due to personnel costs associated with the VSP recorded in the third quarter of 2022 (See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Non-recurring consulting costs related to corporate strategic planning, target market review and other corporate analysis projects partially offset the decrease in corporate overhead expenses in 2023.
