Third-Quarter Business Commentary:

 

  The Private Banking & Trust segment reported revenues that were less than both year ago and 2nd quarter levels. This is due primarily to the previously reported mutual fund client losses and secondarily to reduced one-time transaction-based revenues.

 

  The Investment Advisors segment reported modest gains in revenues and profits vs. a year ago due to growth in assets under management. 3rd Quarter 2003 results included $2.8 million of one-time revenue and profits.

 

  The Enterprises segment revenues and profits were essentially flat vs. a year ago due primarily to $2.8 million of one time revenue and profits reported in 3rd Quarter 2003.

 

2


  Revenues in the Money Managers and Investments in New Businesses segments continue to show growth. As previously reported, these units continue to reinvest to take advantage of their expanding market opportunities.

 

  Assets under management grew by over $9 billion to $109.8 billion. This growth came from continued growth in both LSV and SEI balances.

 

  The company’s results reflect a $3.7 million one-time gain associated with the sale of a small portion of equity interest in LSV Asset Management.

 

  In the third-quarter 2004, SEI purchased 719,000 shares of its common stock for $22.9 million.
