The SEI Wealth Platform provides a modernized solution that helps independent advisors adapt in our rapidly evolving industry, remain competitive in the face of mounting challenges – from fee compression to consolidation – and deliver an enhanced, holistic wealth management experience for advisors to help clients reach their financial goals.”
Built from the ground up to support portfolio management and construction – not products, the Platform features integrated and simple, intuitive tools to support a truly robust, goals-based, financial planning approach. SEI’s business enterprise platform and its dynamic dashboards are built around a customized advisor experience, highlighted by the following:
- One of the only unified managed account structures that provides an aggregated household view of the client and enables advisors to manage multiple models within a single account
- Straight-through processing that alleviates manual trade and settlement date reconciliation
- Web-based, real-time tax impact to support model management
- Real-time, model management and “what if” analysis
- Customizable views of a firm’s AUM, fee revenue and IRA services
- Flexible reporting and streamlined communication for enhanced oversight of and insight into clients’ investments
“At a time when custodians and fintech businesses are looking to integrate more technology into every advisory practice, it can be challenging to sort through all the options. The SEI Wealth Platform’s breadth of capabilities within a single enterprise platform truly makes it unique,” said Jereme Ransick, Chief Operating Officer of Principled Wealth Advisors of Covington, Kentucky. “We are excited to continue our 15-year relationship with SEI and have a strategic partner to support streamlining our operations, overcoming market challenges, and better serving our clients.”
Anticipating a major shift in the global wealth management industry, SEI launched the SEI Wealth Platform in the U.K. more than a decade ago. With the addition of SEI’s U.S.-based advisor clients and SEI Private Wealth Management’s ultra-high-net-worth clients, the Platform continues to gain significant market momentum. Of the 48 signed global private banking clients, 38 firms are installed and another 10 U.S. banking clients are in various stages of implementation.
