SEI Named Best Fund Administrator at Buy-Side Technology Awards 2009

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, November 30 - SEI (Nasdaq: SEIC) today announced that it has won the award for Best
Fund Administrator at the annual Buy-Side Technology Awards, held at the
Lanesborough Hotel, in Mayfair, London.

Commenting on the award, Steve Meyer, Executive Vice President, SEI, and
Head of SEI's Investment Manager Services division, said:

"We are proud to receive this award as it is a testament both to the
dedication of our employees and the high level of service we have
consistently provided to our clients, as well as the quality of the
technologically-advanced solutions we continue to develop to help our clients
succeed.

"As investment managers look for ways to form stronger, longer-lasting
client relationships, they have embraced providers who can help improve their
end-investor experience by way of increased transparency, risk mitigation,
and more meaningful reporting and communications. With investors,
particularly institutional, increasingly in the driver's seat, managers are
expected to provide increased levels of transparency across all aspects of
their business, and deliver more data and information more often. By their
relying on SEI as a strategic partner, we're able to provide managers with a
return on their operations, allowing them to focus on what's most critical to
them and their investors."

SEI has been at the forefront of providing back- and middle-office
solutions to investment managers worldwide. With a proven ability to deliver
leading-edge technologies and processes, SEI helps managers keep up with the
changing regulatory landscape, the growing demand for transparency, and the
changing needs of their businesses - all in a cost-effective and scalable
manner. Workflow technology underlies much of the functionality and
enhancements SEI delivers to investment managers, enabling them to adapt to
the changing demands of a growing institutional client base amid a heightened
regulatory and compliance-driven environment. Providing managers with the
tools to focus on their core competencies has served SEI well: over the past
18 months, SEI has grown assets under administration by over 30 percent.

Commenting on the recognition, Victor Anderson, Editor of Buy-Side
Technology, said:

"The fund administration industry has not been a happy place for many
participants over the past 18 months as funds under administration (AUA) have
shrunk alarmingly. Not only has SEI bucked this trend, but it's also leading
the way in terms of providing clients with end-of-day NAV and P&L reports.
These successes, combined with SEI's technology innovations, such as its
Manager Dashboard, is why SEI won Buy-Side Technology's inaugural Best Fund
Administrator award."
