Investor Portal Powers Personalized, Connected Experience for Advisors and their Clients

OAKS, Pa., Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SEI^® (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced the launch of enhanced technology capabilities in its Investor Portal, a white-labeled solution within SEI Connect that enables advisors to provide clients a full picture of their financial lives.

According to Cerulli Associates' "State of Wealth Management Technology 2023" report, e-signature and client portal are most frequently cited as positively impacting the client experience.

These enhancements within SEI Connect, including the Investor Portal, allow us to equip advisors with the tools they need to meaningfully engage with their clients, and in turn, help power growth, make confident decisions, and protect futures—for their clients and their businesses."
