SEI today announced it received the “Best Group Over Three Years” award in the “Equity Small Company” category at the 2017 Thomson Reuters Lipper Fund Awards in the United Kingdom.  The award recognizes the excellent risk-adjusted performance across SEI’s range of equity funds, which are included in Lipper’s universe of over 3,500 funds provided by over 400 asset managers.
Commenting on the award, Jason Collins, Global Head of Equities at SEI, said:
“This award is a reflection of the strength of both SEI’s investment process and philosophy, as well as the depth of talent at SEI. The ability to add value for investors through our active portfolio management and manager-of-managers approach is the foundation of our investment programs.”

“Our portfolio strategies are designed to help investors achieve their goals at every stage of life, and our equity asset class funds are a cornerstone of our Strategic Portfolios which exemplify our goals-based approach. The UK is an important market for SEI, and we are delighted to win this prestigious award as we seek to expand the business and add to our growing number of strategic partners.”
To qualify for an asset class group award, small groups must have at least three distinct portfolios in one of the asset classes – equity, bond, or mixed-asset.

These funds are actively managed and are core components of SEI’s Goals-Based Strategic Portfolios.
