By GlobalDataIn the U.S., SEI’s significant institutional sales growth can be attributed to ongoing interest from retirement plans (both defined benefit and defined contribution) as well as increased interest in delegated investment management services among healthcare and non-profit organizations.
Paul Klauder, vice president and managing director, SEI’s Institutional Group, said: "The trend towards a discretionary model is a direct result of institutional investors looking for ways to strengthen their current investment management process despite limited internal resources. The industry is wrought with newcomers offering this approach and investors want an experienced partner. SEI’s 20-plus-year track record and extensive client base is clearly setting us apart."
