SOMERSET, Bermuda, July 13, 2010 - SEI (NASDAQ:SEIC), one of the leading global
providers of outsourced asset management, investment processing and
investment operations solutions, has selected financial software specialist
Comada to enhance the risk management services that will be delivered to the
company's investment manager clients via SEI's Total Liquidity Management(TM)
tool.

The strategic partnership, announced this week by Comada co-founders
Rupert Vaughan Williams and Dave Shastri, will see the implementation of
Comada's M.A.T.ware risk management capabilities into SEI's operations
platform to further enhance SEI's outsourcing services for hedge funds and
funds of hedge funds.

Said Rupert Vaughan Williams, "SEI was particularly interested in working
with us to address increasingly important liquidity issues that continue to
challenge the alternative investments industry in the wake of the credit
crunch, and to provide their hedge fund managers with further insight and
analytics into their portfolio construction process. We very much look
forward to working with SEI to continue to deliver client integration tools
in this area."

Comada is an established fund of hedge fund technology solutions group
and is responsible for the development of the award winning web based M.A.T.
Share
portfolio and liquidity management product. The core infrastructure for
M.A.T.ware serves as a basis for both Comada's own products and
custom-designed industry solutions.

By seamlessly integrating the M.A.T.ware risk management application
features to SEI's existing platform, SEI will be able to deliver a web based
liquidity management solution that addresses time to cash analysis plus 'what
if' liquidity analysis over both the portfolio and investor sides of the
balance sheet.

Comada's Dave Shastri added: "We are delighted that the level of
granularity and presentation in our risk and liquidity analyses represented
the quality of information that SEI was seeking to provide its clients with."

Phil McCabe, Senior Vice President and Solution Head, SEI's Investment
Manager Services division, commented: "Liquidity management, particularly for
funds of hedge fund managers, has been of critical importance over the past
few years as managers and investors alike seek broader transparency and
holistic views of their investments. Integrating Comada's M.A.T.ware
application into our best-in-class solution enhances our front-office
offering and helps us deliver a way for managers to more accurately monitor
their cash availability in both an efficient and automated manner."
