OAKS, Pa., Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SEI (NASDAQ:SEIC) today announced continued global growth in its institutional business, adding 11 clients and nearly $3.8 billion in new outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) and fiduciary management assets during the first half of 2021. Among SEI's institutional clients added in 2021 are Greater Philadelphia YMCA and Real Estate Council of Ontario.

SEI is a leading provider of outsourced investment management services and custom platforms to support insourced investment staffs. The company's growth as a provider of outsourced investment management this year comes from new client conversions in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, as the company continues to invest in developing its overall capabilities for institutional investors around the globe.

Since January 2020, SEI's institutional business has added over $9.1 billion in new assets globally. Clients selected SEI for its overall scale and infrastructure, data aggregation and reporting capabilities, strong sponsor support, ability to provide custom investment and sustainability screens, and breadth of experience.
