Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Participants and Administrator of
SEI Capital Accumulation Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the SEI Capital Accumulation Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, Schedule H, Line 4(i) - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2014, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's 2014 financial statements. The supplemental information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but includes supplemental information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, Schedule H, Line 4(i) - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2014, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 2014 financial statements as a whole.

SEI Capital Accumulation Plan
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013



 
1.    Plan Description
The following description of the SEI Capital Accumulation Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. Any conflict between the description of the Plan contained herein and the actual Plan document shall be resolved in favor of the Plan document.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan that was established effective January 1983 by the Board of Directors of SEI Investments Company (the “Company”). The Plan’s sponsor is the Company. The Company amended and restated the Plan effective January 1, 2012.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Plan provides retirement benefits, including provisions for early retirement and disability benefits, as well as a tax-deferred savings feature.
Contributions
An employee will become eligible to join the Plan after the completion of his or her first hour of employment. Certain employees are not eligible to become participants in the Plan. These employees include: union employees, unless the collective bargaining agreement provides for participation, non-resident aliens with no U.S. source income from the Company, leased employees, and employees classified as interns. Individuals designated by their employer as independent contractors are also excluded from participation in the Plan.
Eligible employees with a hire date on or after April 2, 2007 are automatically enrolled in the Plan. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan, which consist of registered investment companies, collective investment trusts and the common stock of the Company. Participants invest in the common stock of the Company through a unitized account consisting of common stock and shares of the SEI Daily Income Trust Prime Obligation Fund in order to maintain a level of liquidity. This unitized account is made available to participants as the SEI Company Stock Fund. A participant-directed brokerage account option is available to allow for investments in Company-sponsored and non-Company-sponsored registered investment companies.
All Company contributions are discretionary and are made out of available profits of the Company. The Company’s matching contributions are credited to the participant’s matching contribution account. Contributions are subject to certain IRS limitations.
As of January 1, 1995, participants may no longer make post-tax contributions into the Plan; however, they may withdraw previously contributed post-tax amounts at any time.
Participant Accounts
Each participant account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching contribution, and an allocation of the Plan’s earnings (losses) thereon. The Company may also make a profit-sharing contribution that will be allocated among eligible participants in the same proportion that each participant’s compensation bears to the aggregate compensation of all participants. These contributions will be credited to the participant’s profit-sharing account.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions to the Plan and all employer contributions credited to their accounts, plus any earnings (losses) thereon.
Payment of Benefits
Amounts in participants’ accounts are distributed in the form of installments, a lump-sum amount, or a combination thereof to participants or their beneficiaries upon termination of employment, retirement, death or total disability.
Notes Receivable from Participants
A participant is eligible for a loan amount not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of the participant’s account balance (excluding the voluntary post-tax contribution account balance) reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance from the Plan during the preceding 12 months. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear a reasonable rate of interest as determined by the Plan administrator (the "Plan Administrator").

Terms of the loans range from one to five years, except for loans for the purchase of a primary residence, which can have terms of up to 30 years. Principal and interest are paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions. Participant loans outstanding at December 31, 2014 bear interest ranging from 4.25 percent to 9.00 percent. As of December 31, 2014, participant loan maturity dates ranged from 2015 to 2044.

2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. As described in the accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invests in investment contracts through a collective investment trust. As required by the accounting guidance, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investment in the collective investment trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the collective investment trust from fair value to contract value relating to the investment contracts at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Plan’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value (see Note 4). Shares of registered investment companies are reported at their stated net asset value ("NAV") per share. Shares of collective investment trusts are valued based upon the NAV of units owned. Common stock of the Company is valued at market value. The Plan holds shares of a collective investment trust that has investments in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. For purposes of the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits, this collective investment trust is stated at fair value. As provided in the applicable accounting guidance, an investment contract is generally required to be reported at fair value, rather than contract value, to the extent it is fully benefit-responsive.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends earned are reinvested into additional shares of the respective fund. Interest income is accrued as earned.
The Plan presents, in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, the net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its investments, which consists of realized gains and losses, and the change in the unrealized appreciation or depreciation of those investments during the Plan year. 
Expenses of the Plan
All administrative costs of the Plan, with the exception of loan fees and fees related to investments in the participant-directed brokerage account, are paid by the Company. The Plan’s investments have investment fees and expenses that are indirectly borne by the Plan and its participants which are charged against the related funds' net asset values.
Notes Receivable from Participants
The Plan classifies participant loans as Notes receivable from participants in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and measures them at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that eliminates the current requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments with fair values measured at NAV using the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"). The new guidance will require entities to disclose the fair values of such investments as a reconciling item between the amounts reported on the statements of net assets available for benefits and the amounts reported in the fair value hierarchy table. Entities will be required to continue to disclose information describing the nature and risks of the investments measured using the NAV practical expedient. The new disclosures are required for the Plan beginning on January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance only impacts footnote disclosures and will not impact the financial statements.

3.    Investments
The fair values of individual assets that represent five percent or more of the Plan’s net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

4.    Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Plan’s investments are determined in accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or

6



SEI Capital Accumulation Plan
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013



indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The fair value measurement level of the investment within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:
Registered investment companies
The registered investment companies are valued at NAV in an exchange and active market, which represents the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. All of the Plan’s investments in registered investment companies are classified as Level 1 investments.
Collective investment trusts
Collective investment trusts are composed of non-benefit-responsive investment funds that invest in open-end mutual funds and collective investment trusts that have investments in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. The Plan’s investments in the non-benefit-responsive investment funds are valued based upon the NAV of units owned by the Plan at year-end. The fair value of the Plan’s investments is based on the NAVs of the underlying open-end mutual funds. The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the collective investment trusts that have investments in fully benefit-responsive investment contracts is determined using the market price of the underlying securities and the value of the investment contracts. The Plan’s interest in these collective investment trusts is valued based on information reported by the investment advisor using the audited financial statements of the common collective trust at year-end. The Plan’s investments in collective investment trusts are classified as Level 2 investments. 
Common stock
The Plan’s investment in common stock of the Company is held in a unitized account made available to participants as the SEI Company Stock Fund and is stated at fair value as quoted on a recognized securities exchange. The Company’s common stock is valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the Plan year. The Plan’s investment in common stock is classified as a Level 1 investment.
The Plan had no investments classified as Level 3 investments at December 31, 2014 or 2013. There were no transfers of investments between levels within the fair value hierarchy during 2014.
The measurement methods as described above may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of December 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2014, the Plan’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

6.    Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service issued a determination letter, dated July 19, 2012, stating that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) requirements as of that date. The Plan has subsequently been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan Administrator and the Company’s management believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

SEI Capital Accumulation Plan
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013



Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the Plan’s management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for plan years prior to 2011.

7.    Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of whole or partial termination of the Plan, each participant shall receive a total distribution of his or her account.

8.    Related Party Transactions
SEI Private Trust Company (“SPTC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, served as the Trustee and Custodian to the Plan through a formal agreement with the the Plan Administrator during 2013 and through March 31, 2014. SPTC earned an annual fee based upon a percentage of the average net assets in the Plan. The calculated fees earned by SPTC related to the Plan were not significant in 2014 and 2013. On April 1, 2014, SPTC resigned as Trustee and Custodian to the Plan and the Plan Administrator appointed Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as successor Trustee and Custodian through a formal agreement with the Plan Administrator.
SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SGSI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, served as the Recordkeeper to the Plan through a formal agreement with the Company during 2013 and through March 31, 2014. SGSI earned an annual fee based upon a contractual fee schedule for the provision of recordkeeping services. During 2014 and 2013, SGSI earned $6,775 and $29,579, respectively, in fees related to this agreement. On April 1, 2014, the Company amended the agreement with SGSI and assigned SGSI's rights, duties and obligations under the agreement to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
All investments of the Plan, except for non-Company-sponsored investments in the participant-directed brokerage account and the PIMCO Stable Income Fund, are in registered investment companies and collective investment trusts sponsored by affiliates of the Company and common stock of the Company; therefore, these investments and transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The registered investment companies and collective investment trusts investment options pay aggregate advisory, administration and trustee fees to the Company at rates between 0.08 percent and 1.36 percent of the average net assets of the funds. Purchases and sales of SEI Investments Company common stock during 2014 totaled $2,388,768 and $1,530,864, respectively. The market values of SEI Investments Company common stock were $30,088,338 and $25,141,568 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Plan held 751,457 and 723,915 shares of SEI Investments Company common stock at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These party-in-interest transactions meet one or more prohibited transaction exemptions applicable to the transaction.
SEI Trust Company (“STC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, provides trustee services to the SEI Core Strategies Collective Trust, the SEI Target Date Collective Trust and the PIMCO Stable Income Fund. SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”), SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”) and SEI Institutional Transfer Agent, Inc. (“SITA”), also wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, in their capacity as distributor, manager and transfer agent of the Company-sponsored registered investment companies available in the Plan, provide distribution, investment advisory, administration and transfer agency services, either directly or through their subsidiaries, to the funds. SIMC also provides non-discretionary, fiduciary investment advisory services to the Plan and the applicable Plan fiduciaries.

9.    Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options including the Company’s common stock, registered investment companies and collective investment trusts that invest in stocks, bonds, fixed-income securities and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and

that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

10.    Subsequent Events
Effective January 1, 2015, the Plan was amended to adopt a method under the IRC for satisfying nondiscrimination requirements through certain plan provisions and notice requirements referred to as the safe harbor. As a result, the Company will make safe harbor matching contributions equal to 100 percent of the participant's contributions up to three percent of the participant's annual eligible compensation plus 50 percent of the participant's contributions between three and five percent of the participant's annual eligible compensation. The Company retains the right to reduce or suspend the safe harbor contribution under the Plan.
