Third-Quarter Business Commentary:

 

Total revenue in the Enterprises and Investment Advisors segments was positively influenced by approximately $7.0 million in one-time events in the quarter. While this had a positive impact on overall corporate revenues, it had a lesser impact on corporate profits due to an increase in non-recurring expenses, sales compensation and increased investment spending on new products.

 

2


The Private Banking & Trust segment’s revenue decline in the quarter was due to a decrease in one-time revenues and previously reported losses in fund processing revenues.

 

The Money Managers and Investments in New Business segments continue to show growth.

 

Assets under management ended the quarter at a new record high of $87.4 billion, an increase of more than $15 billion over the third-quarter a year ago.

 

SEI purchased 262,000 shares of its common stock for $8.6 million in the third-quarter 2003.
