Second-Quarter Business Commentary:


•	Revenues increased in second-quarter 2013 as compared to both second-quarter 2012 and first-quarter 2013. Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher Asset management, administration, and distribution fees from improved cash flows from new and existing clients and market appreciation.

•

Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $14.2 billion, or 11 percent, to $140.9 billion in the second-quarter 2013, as compared to $126.6 billion during the second-quarter 2012, and decreased $4.1 billion, or three percent, as compared to $145.0 billion during the first-quarter 2013. Average asset balances for the second-quarter 2013 do not include assets related to SEI Asset Korea (see attached Ending and Average Asset Balances schedules for further details).


•	Net income attributable to SEI reflects income of $43.4 million, or approximately $.16 diluted earnings per share, from a settlement payment received pertaining to litigation related to the purchase of securities of Cheyne Finance LLC, a SIV security. SEI holds no SIV securities.


•	Sales events, net of client losses, during second-quarter 2013 totaled approximately $21.7 million and are expected to generate net annualized recurring revenues of approximately $19.8 million when contract values are fully realized.

•

During the second-quarter 2013 the Company recognized an incremental $5.3 million of stock-based compensation expense compared to the first-quarter 2013. This incremental expense reflects a change in the timing of vesting assumptions for previously issued equity options due to the earnings per share impact of the $43.4 million litigation settlement previously mentioned. The Private Banks segment recognized $1.6 million of this incremental expense. The Investment Advisors, Institutional Investors, and Investment Managers segments each recognized approximately $1.0 million.

•

Second-quarter 2013 results for Private Banks as compared to first-quarter 2013 and second-quarter 2012 reflect the sale of SEI Asset Korea at the end of first-quarter 2013. The Private Banks segment's results reflect a reduction in revenue, expense, and profit, as compared to first-quarter 2013 of $2.9 million, $2.5 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. The Private Banks segment's results reflect a reduction in revenue, expense, and profit, as compared to second-quarter 2012 of $2.7 million, $2.5 million, and $0.2 million, respectively.


•	Income from LSV increased in second-quarter 2013 to $27.8 million as compared to $22.7 million in second-quarter 2012 due to an increase in assets under management. Our ownership interest in LSV was approximately 39.3 percent in second-quarter 2013 and 39.8 percent in second-quarter 2012.


•	The effective tax rates were 35.5 percent in second-quarter 2013, 36.6 percent in second-quarter 2012, and 34.9 percent in first-quarter 2013. The second-quarter 2013 tax rate compared to the second-quarter 2012 tax rate was benefited by the reinstatement of the research and development tax credit in 2013 as well as the closure of prior year tax audits.


•	In second-quarter 2013, we repurchased 1.7 million shares of our common stock for $50.5 million.
