SEI to Support Fund of Private Equity Fund Offering With Operational Infrastructure and Sophisticated Reporting Technology 

 DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES--(Marketwire - May 23, 2012) - SEI (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced that it has extended its relationship with Key Capital Investment Management Limited to include an operational outsourcing solution for the firm's private equity business. Key Capital's private equity offering is designed to provide family offices and high-net-worth private clients with exposure to a pre-identified list of Europe's leading private equity firms including Apax, Cinven, CVC, Equistone, and Permira. The extension of SEI's services is in recognition of the company's cutting-edge technology, strong service model, and global reputation and presence.  

 Under the agreement, SEI will provide a full range of services for Key Capital's private equity business including accounting, administration services, treasury, LP/investor servicing, Irish trustee and custodial services, data management, and performance reporting. Key Capital will also utilise SEI's Manager Dashboard tool, which provides managers with flexible, transparent, and aggregated views of their data across all their investment products and asset classes. Other critical factors in Key Capital's decision were SEI's Investor Dashboard, a reporting website that facilitates greater communication and transparency with investors and partners, along with SEI's extensive private equity experience.
