Note 2.	Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

The Company has an investment in the general partnership LSV Asset Management (LSV). LSV is a registered investment advisor that provides investment advisory services to institutions, including pension plans and investment companies. LSV is currently an investment sub-advisor for a small number of SEI-sponsored mutual funds. The Company accounts for its interest in LSV using the equity method because of its less than 50 percent ownership. The Company’s interest in the net assets of LSV is reflected in Investment in unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and its interest in the earnings of LSV is reflected in Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2011 , the Company's total partnership interest in LSV was approximately 41.2 percent. In March 2009, certain partners (the Contributing partners) of LSV, including the Company, designated a portion of their partnership interest for the purpose of providing an interest in the partnership to a select group of key employees. Until such time an interest in the partnership is issued to a key employee, all profits, losses, distributions and other rights and obligations relating to such unissued interests remains with the Contributing partners. Each issuance must be authorized by unanimous vote of all Contributing partners. In April 2012, the Contributing partners agreed to provide certain key employees an interest in LSV, thereby reducing the Company’s interest in LSV to approximately 39.8 percent.

At June 30, 2012 , the Company’s total investment in LSV was $63,553 . The investment in LSV exceeded the underlying equity in the net assets of LSV by $3,499 , of which $3,062 is considered goodwill embedded in the investment. The Company

receives partnership distributions from LSV on a quarterly basis. The Company received partnership distribution payments from LSV for $47,443 and $50,760 in the six months ended June 30 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively.

The Company’s proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $22,712 and $29,530 during the three months ended June 30 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30 , 2012 and 2011 , the Company's proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $50,042 and $58,479 , respectively.

The following table contains the condensed statements of operations of LSV for the three months ended June 30 , 2012 and 2011 :

Guaranty Agreement

In April 2011, LSV Employee Group II, LLC agreed to purchase a partnership interest of an existing LSV employee for $4,300 , of which $3,655 was financed through a term loan with Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America). The Company provided an unsecured guaranty to the lenders of all the obligations of LSV Employee Group II, LLC. The lenders have the right to seek payment from the Company in the event of a default by LSV Employee Group II, LLC. The term loan has a four year term and will be repaid from the quarterly distributions of LSV. LSV Employee Group II made principal payments of $468 during the six months ended June 30 , 2012 . As of June 30, 2012 , the remaining unpaid principal balance of the term loan was $2,729 . This amount is not reflected, nor is it required to be reflected, in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2012 .

The Company’s direct interest in LSV is unchanged as a result of this transaction. The Company has determined that LSV Employee Group II is a variable interest entity (VIE); however, the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of LSV Employee Group II either directly or through any financial responsibility from the guaranty.

In July 2012 , LSV Employee Group II made a principal payment of $272 . As of July 31, 2012 , the remaining unpaid principal balance of the term loan was $2,457 . The Company, in its capacity as guarantor, currently has no obligation of payment relating to the term loan of LSV Employee Group II and, furthermore, fully expects that LSV Employee Group II will meet all of their future obligations regarding the term loan.

Note 3. Variable Interest Entities – Investment Products

The Company has created numerous investment products for its clients in various types of legal entity structures. The Company serves as the Manager, Administrator and Distributor for these investment products and may also serve as the Trustee for some of the investment products. Clients are the equity investors and participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the net income and net capital gains of the products, and, on liquidation, will participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the remaining net assets of the products after satisfaction of outstanding liabilities. Some of the Company’s investment products have been determined to be VIEs at inception.

The Company does not have a significant equity investment in any of the VIEs and does not have an obligation to enter into any guarantee agreements with the VIEs. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because the expected fees and the expected return on any investment into the VIE by the Company relative to the expected returns of the VIE to the equity investor holders does not approach 50 percent of the expected losses or gains of the VIEs. Therefore, the Company is not required to consolidate any investment products that are VIEs into its financial statements. The Company’s variable interest in

10 of 40

Table of Contents

the VIEs, which consists of management fees and in some situations, seed capital, is not considered a significant variable interest.

The risks to the Company associated with its involvement with any of the investment products that are VIEs are limited to the cash flows received from the revenue generated for asset management, administration and distribution services and any equity investments in the VIEs. Both of these items are not significant. The Company has no other financial obligation to the VIEs.

Amounts relating to fees received from the VIEs included in Receivables and amounts relating to equity investments in the VIEs included in Investments Available for Sale on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are not significant to the total assets of the Company.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial assets consist mainly of investments in equity and fixed-income mutual funds that are quoted daily. Level 2 financial assets consist of Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and other U.S. government agency securities that are single issuer pools that are valued based on current market data for the specific issue owned or pools of similar securities. Level 3 financial assets primarily consist of senior note obligations issued by SIVs. The Company had no Level 3 financial liabilities at June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011 . There were no transfers of financial assets between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30 , 2012 .

Valuation of GNMA and Other U.S. Government Agency Securities

All of the Company's GNMA and other U.S. government agency securities are held in accounts at well-established financial institutions that utilize the services of independent pricing vendors. These vendors utilize evaluated and industry accepted pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information to determine the fair value of the securities. The market inputs normally used for evaluations of securities, listed in approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trade, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. The Company records the securities at the prices provided by the independent pricing vendor without adjustment.

Valuation of SIV Securities

The underlying collateral of the SIV securities is mainly comprised of asset-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. The Company utilizes the services of an independent firm that specializes in securities valuations to assist in determining the fair value of the SIV security owned. Given the lack of any reliable market data on the SIV security, the firm utilized a valuation model that employs a net asset approach which considers the value of the underlying collateral of the SIV security to determine its fair value. Management evaluated the value received from the firm and considered other information, such as the existence of any current market activity, to determine the fair value of the SIV securities. As a result of this evaluation, the Company utilized the fair value of the SIV security without adjustment as provided by the independent valuation firm.

The model used by the independent valuation firm to determine the fair value of the SIV security attempts to value the underlying collateral of the SIV security through the use of industry accepted and proprietary valuation techniques and models. This approach combines advanced analytics with real-time market information that incorporate structural and fundamental analysis, collateral characteristics and recent market developments. Each security that makes up the underlying collateral is specifically identified by its CUSIP or ISIN number and is analyzed by using observable collateral characteristics and credit statistics in order to project future performance and expected cash flows for each individual security. The projected cash flows incorporate assumptions and expectations based upon the foregoing analysis of the collateral characteristics such as, but not limited to, default probabilities, recovery rates, prepayment speeds and loss severities. Expected future cash flows are discounted at an appropriate yield derived from the individual security, structural and collateral characteristics, trading levels and other available market data. Different modeling techniques and associated inputs and assumptions may be used to project future cash flows for each security depending upon the asset classification of that individual security (i.e. residential mortgage-backed security, commercial mortgage-backed security, collateralized debt obligations, etc.). The aggregate value of the discounted cash flows of the underlying collateral is compared to the total remaining par value of the collateral to determine the expected recovery price, or fair value, of the remaining note obligations. Other factors may be considered that are specific to the SIV security that may affect the fair value of the SIV security.

12 of 40

Table of Contents

Management may also consider, when available, price quotes from brokers and dealers. If a price quote is available, management will compare this number to the fair value derived from the valuation model of the independent firm giving consideration to other market factors and risk premiums. Given the lack of any significant trading activity for the SIV security owned by the Company, management believes that market prices may not represent the implied fair value of the SIV security owned by the Company.

In the event a market transaction does exist for a SIV security, management evaluates the publicly available information surrounding the transaction in order to assess if the price used represents the fair value for the SIV security. In management’s opinion, the current market for the SIV security does not represent any orderly and efficient market.

The fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities of the Company was determined using the following inputs:

Note 8. Shareholders’ Equity

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company currently has one active equity compensation plan, the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the 2007 Plan), which provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights with respect to up to 20 million shares of common stock of the Company, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, mergers and other events. Permitted grantees under the 2007 Plan include employees, non-employee directors and consultants who perform services for the Company. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company has only granted non-qualified stock options under the plan. All outstanding stock options have performance-based vesting provisions specific to each option grant that tie the vesting of the applicable stock options to the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s stock options vest at a rate of 50 percent when specified diluted earnings per share targets are achieved, and the remaining 50 percent when secondary, higher specified diluted earnings per share targets are achieved. The amount of stock-based compensation expense is based upon management’s estimate of when the earnings per share targets may be achieved.

The Company discontinued any further grants under the Company’s 1998 Equity Compensation Plan (the 1998 Plan) as a result of the approval of the 2007 Plan. No options are available for grant from this plan. Grants made from the 1998 Plan continue in effect under the terms of the grant.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $11,547 and $9,410 , respectively, exclusive of interest and penalties, of which $9,974 and $8,320 would affect the effective tax rate if the Company were to recognize the tax benefit.

The Company classifies interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 , the combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on tax returns was $853 and $634 , respectively.



	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties	$	11,547	$	9,410
Interest and penalties on unrecognized benefits	853		634
Total gross uncertain tax positions	$	12,400	$	10,044
Amount included in Current liabilities	$	1,768	$	1,768
Amount included in Other long-term liabilities	10,632		8,276
	$	12,400	$	10,044

The Company’s effective tax rates were 36.6 percent and 34.7 percent for the three months ended June 30 , 2012 and 2011 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30 , 2012 and 2011 , the Company's tax rates were 36.9 percent and 36.0 percent, respectively. The 2011 tax rate reflects a benefit for research and development tax credit whereas the 2012 tax rate did not reflect any benefit. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, management determined the Company was eligible for the Domestic Production Activities Deduction. The effective rate in the three months ended June 30, 2011 reflects the benefit of this deduction for both 2011 and 2010, whereas the 2012 tax rate only reflects the 2012 benefit.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a consolidated basis and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to examination of income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years before

21 of 40

Table of Contents

2007 and is no longer subject to state, local or foreign income tax examinations by authorities for years before 2006.

The Company estimates it will recognize $1,768 of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months due to the expiration of the statute of limitations and resolution of income tax audits. These unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax positions taken on certain federal, state, and foreign tax returns. However, the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year. While it is reasonably possible that some issues under examination could be resolved in the next twelve months, based upon the current facts and circumstances, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such resolution or total range of potential changes as it relates to the current unrecognized tax benefits that are recorded as part of the Company’s financial statements.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various claims and legal proceedings.

One of SEI’s principal subsidiaries, SIDCO, has been named as a defendant in certain putative class action complaints (the Complaints) related to leveraged exchange traded funds (ETFs) advised by ProShares Advisors, LLC. The first complaint was filed on August 5, 2009. To date, the Complaints have been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. The three complaints filed in the District of Maryland have been voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs. Two of them were subsequently re-filed in the Southern District of New York. Two of the complaints filed in the Southern District of New York have also been voluntarily dismissed by plaintiffs. The Complaints are purportedly made on behalf of all persons that purchased or otherwise acquired shares in various ProShares leveraged ETFs pursuant or traceable to allegedly false and misleading registration statements, prospectuses and statements of additional information. The Complaints name as defendants ProShares Advisors, LLC; ProShares Trust; ProShares Trust II, SIDCO, and various officers and trustees to ProShares Advisors, LLC; ProShares Trust and ProShares Trust II. The Complaints allege that SIDCO was the distributor and principal underwriter for the various ProShares leveraged ETFs that were distributed to authorized participants and ultimately shareholders. The complaints allege that the registration statements for the ProShares ETFs were materially false and misleading because they failed adequately to describe the nature and risks of the investments. The Complaints allege that SIDCO is liable for these purportedly material misstatements and omissions under Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933. The Complaints seek unspecified compensatory and other damages, reasonable costs and other relief. Defendants have moved to consolidate the complaints, which motion has been granted. The Court appointed lead plaintiff on July 13, 2010, and an amended consolidated class action complaint was filed on September 25, 2010 asserting substantially the same claims. Defendants moved to dismiss on November 15, 2010. On December 16, 2010, lead plaintiff informed the Court and Defendants that lead plaintiff elected to file a second amended consolidated complaint, which was filed on January 31, 2011. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second complaint on March 17, 2011. Oral argument on this motion was held on February 2, 2012. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain given its early phase, SEI believes that it has valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

SEI has been named in six lawsuits filed in Louisiana. Five lawsuits were filed in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, State of Louisiana. One of the five actions purports to set forth claims on behalf of a class and also names SPTC as a defendant. Two of the other actions also name SPTC as a defendant. All five actions name various defendants in addition to SEI, and, in all five actions, the plaintiffs purport to bring a cause of action under the Louisiana Securities Act. The putative class action originally included a claim against SEI and SPTC for an alleged violation of the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act. Two of the other five actions include claims for violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act and possibly conspiracy. In addition, another group of plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit in the 23rd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Ascension, State of Louisiana, against SEI and SPTC and other defendants asserting claims of negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the uniform fiduciaries law, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, violations of the Louisiana Securities Act and Louisiana Racketeering Act and conspiracy. The underlying allegations in all the actions are purportedly related to the role of SPTC in providing back-office services to Stanford Trust Company. The petitions allege that SEI and SPTC aided and abetted or otherwise participated in the sale of “certificates of deposit” issued by Stanford International Bank. Two of the five actions filed in East Baton Rouge have been removed to federal court, and plaintiffs’ motions to remand are pending. These two cases have been transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. On August 31, 2011, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued an order and judgment that the causes of action alleged against SEI and SPTC in the two remanded actions were preempted by federal law and the Court dismissed these cases with prejudice. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted an expedited appeal of the United States District Court’s order and judgment. The appeal was briefed, and oral argument was held on February 7, 2012. On March 19, 2012, a panel of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the decision of the United States District Court and remanded the actions for further proceedings. On April 2, 2012, SEI filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit a petition for rehearing en banc of the panel’s opinion. On April 19, 2012, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the petition for rehearing.

22 of 40

Table of Contents

The case filed in Ascension Parish was also removed to federal court and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the Northern District of Texas. The schedule for responding to that complaint has not yet been established. The plaintiffs in the remaining two cases in East Baton Rouge have granted SEI an extension to respond to the filings. SEI and SPTC filed exceptions in the putative class action pending in East Baton Rouge, which the Court granted in part and dismissed the claims under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act and denied in part as to the other exceptions. SEI and SPTC filed an answer to the East Baton Rouge putative class action; plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification; and SEI and SPTC also filed a motion for summary judgment against certain named plaintiffs which the Court stated will not be set for hearing until after the hearing on the class certification motion. Following the decision by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the Court in the East Baton Rouge action issued an order staying the proceedings in the East Baton Rouge class action pending the outcome of the appeal of the order and judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Following the panel opinion of the Court of Appeals on March 19, 2012, the Court in the East Baton Rouge action scheduled a hearing on class certification for September 20, 2012. On July 18, 2012, the Company filed a petition for certiorari in the United States Supreme Court, seeking review of the decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to permit the claims against SEI to proceed. The Company believes that the trial court correctly concluded that the claims against SEI were barred by the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act and is requesting that the Supreme Court reinstate that dismissal. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain given its early phase, SEI and SPTC believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously.

Because of the uncertainty of the make-up of the classes, the specific theories of liability that may survive a motion to dismiss, the lack of discovery regarding damages, causation, mitigation and other aspects that may ultimately bear upon loss, the Company is not reasonably able to provide an estimate of loss, if any, with respect to the foregoing lawsuits.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

On July 31, 2012, the Company, MetLife International Holdings, Inc. (MetLife) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) entered into a definitive agreement with Baring Asset Management Limited to sell all ownership interests in SEI Asset Korea Co., Ltd. (SEI AK). SEI AK is located in South Korea and provides domestic equity and fixed income investment management services to financial institutions and pension funds. Consummation of the acquisition of SEI AK under the definitive agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

The Company's ownership interest in SEI AK is 56.1 percent as of July 31, 2012. The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities and operations of SEI AK in its Consolidated Financial Statements. The ownership interests in SEI AK for MetLife and IFC is reflected in Noncontrolling interest in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon closing of the agreement, the then current cash balance of SEI AK will be distributed to the Company, Metlife and IFC in accordance with the ownership interests.

As of June 30, 2012, SEI AK has total corporate assets of $48,776 , of which $42,553 is included in Cash and Cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All other accounts of SEI AK are not material to any financial statement line item in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company did not provide U.S. deferred taxes on the undistributed earnings of SEI AK since its inception because those earnings were considered to be indefinitely reinvested. As a result of the potential sale of SEI AK, the Company no longer considers undistributed earnings to be indefinitely reinvested and, therefore, must accrue approximately $5,000 for U.S. deferred taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2012 on the cumulative undistributed earnings of SEI AK.

If the requisite regulatory approvals are obtained, the other conditions to closing are satisfied or waived and the transaction is consummated, then the Company expects to recognize a net after tax gain on the sale of its shares of SEI AK depending upon revenue during a pre-closing measurement period and specified revenues during three one-year periods after the closing.

Table of Contents

In our opinion, the following items had a significant impact on our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 :

•

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 in 2012 despite the market decline in the second quarter. Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $8.5 billion, or seven percent, to $125.4 billion in the first six months of 2012 as compared to $116.9 billion during the first six months of 2011.


•	New business in our Institutional Investors and Investment Managers segments contributed to our growth in revenues. Additionally, asset funding from existing clients for our hedge fund solutions and increased accounts for our separately managed accounts solutions in our Investment Managers segment also served to drive revenue growth.

•

Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV in the first six months of 2012 was $50.0 million, as compared to $58.5 million in the first six months of 2011, a decrease of 14 percent. Despite the favorable market conditions in late 2011 and first quarter 2012, LSV’s revenues decreased due to the market decline in second quarter 2012 which resulted in a net decline in the value of assets under management. LSV’s average assets under management were $57.6 billion during the first six months of 2012, as compared to $62.6 billion during the first six months of 2011, a decrease of eight percent. Our earnings from LSV were also negatively impacted by a decrease in our ownership percentage from approximately 41.2 percent to approximately 39.8 percent during the second quarter 2012. The reduction in our ownership percentage is described in greater detail under the caption "Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate" later in this discussion.

•

Our operating expenses related to servicing new and existing clients of our Global Wealth Services solution implemented on the Global Wealth Platform increased during the first six months of 2012 as compared to the first six months of 2011 as we continue to build out the operational infrastructure. These increased operational costs, mainly related to personnel, primarily impacted the Private Banks and Investment Advisors segments. The increased operational costs are included in Compensation, benefits and other personnel on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

•

Our costs incurred for the development of the Global Wealth Platform, excluding amounts capitalized, have declined during the first six months of 2012 as compared to the first six months of 2011 as we transition our efforts from development to support and maintenance of the platform. These development costs, which are expensed as incurred, are included in Consulting, outsourcing and professional fees on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

•

Our operating expenses related to our hedge fund and separately managed accounts solutions of our Investment Managers segment increased during the first six months of 2012 as compared to the first six months of 2011. These increased operational costs, mainly related to personnel, resulted from servicing new and existing clients and are also included in Compensation, benefits and other personnel on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.


•	Sales events, net of client losses, were significantly higher during the first six months of 2012. These sales events resulted in an increase in sales compensation expense of $4.6 million when compared to the first six months of 2011.


•	We recognized gains of $1.1 million and $4.0 million from SIV securities in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, as compared to losses of $1.9 million and gains of $4.9 million in the prior year periods.


•	We continued our stock repurchase program during 2012 and purchased 4,098,000 shares at an average price of approximately $19.50 per share in the six month period.

Net gain (loss) from investments	$	664		$	(1,948	)	$	3,869		$	5,330

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 , we recognized gains of $4.0 million from SIV securities, of which $4.5 million resulted from cash payments received from the SIV securities offset by losses of $0.5 million which resulted from a decrease in fair value at June 30, 2012 .

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 , we recognized gains of $4.9 million from SIV securities, of which $6.2 million resulted from cash payments received from the SIV securities offset by losses of $1.3 million which resulted from a decrease in fair value at June 30, 2011 . In addition, we sold the senior note obligation originally issued by Stanfield Victoria. There was no gain or loss recognized from the sale of the note as the fair value of the Stanfield Victoria note at December 31, 2010 was not different than the sale price received.

Interest and dividend income

Interest and dividend income is earned based upon the amount of cash that is invested daily and the average yield earned on those balances.

Interest expense

Interest expense primarily includes fees related to our credit facility.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations includes our less than 50 percent ownership in LSV. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our partnership interest in LSV was approximately 41.2 percent. In March 2009, certain partners of LSV, including SEI, agreed to designate a portion of their partnership interest for the purpose of providing an interest in the partnership to a select group of key LSV employees. In April 2012, these contributing partners agreed to provide certain key LSV employees an interest in LSV thereby reducing our interest in LSV to approximately 39.8 percent.

Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $22.7 million in second quarter 2012 as compared to $29.5 million in second quarter 2011, a decrease of 23 percent . Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $50.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $58.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 , a decrease of 14 percent . The reductions in our earnings from LSV were due to lower assets under management from market depreciation in second quarter 2012 and the decline in our partnership interest. LSV’s average assets under management decreased $5.0 billion to $57.6 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $62.6 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2011 , a decrease of eight percent.

Noncontrolling interest

Noncontrolling interest includes the interest of other shareholders in a joint venture of the Company in an asset management firm located in South Korea.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rates were 36.6 percent and 34.7 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our effective tax rates were 36.9 percent and 36.0 percent , respectively. The 2011 tax rate reflects a benefit for research and development tax credit whereas the 2012 tax rate did not reflect any benefit. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, we determined SEI was eligible for the Domestic Production Activities Deduction. The effective rate in the three months ended June 30, 2011 reflects the benefit of this deduction for both 2011 and 2010, whereas the 2012 tax rate only reflects the 2012 benefit.

Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of most of our financial assets are determined using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs and consist mainly of investments in equity or fixed-income mutual funds that are quoted daily and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and other U.S. government agency securities that are single issuer pools that are valued based on current market data of similar assets. Our Level 3 financial assets consist mainly of SIV securities (See Note 5 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Liquidity and Capital Resources



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012			2011
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	75,113		$	92,840
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities	(28,198		)	1,341
Net cash used in financing activities	(120,407		)	(148,162		)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	(73,492		)	(53,981		)
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	420,986			496,292
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	347,494		$	442,311

Cash requirements and liquidity needs are primarily funded through our cash flow from operations and our capacity for additional borrowing. At June 30, 2012 , our unused sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and the amount available under our credit facility.

In February 2012, we replaced our credit facility with a new five-year credit facility agreement which provides for borrowings of up to $300.0 million (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The new credit facility is a senior unsecured revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and a syndicate of other lenders and is scheduled to expire in February 2017. The availability of the new credit facility is subject to the compliance with certain covenants set forth in the agreement. The credit facility contains covenants which restrict our ability to engage in mergers, consolidations, asset sales, investments, transactions with affiliates, or to incur liens, as defined in the agreement. In the event of a default under the credit facility, we would also be restricted from paying dividends on, or repurchasing, our common stock. Currently, our ability to borrow from the credit facility is not limited by any covenant of the agreement. We currently have no borrowings under the new credit facility.

The majority of our excess cash reserves are primarily placed in accounts located in the United States that invest entirely in SEI-sponsored money market mutual funds denominated in the U.S. dollar. We also utilize demand deposit accounts or money market accounts at several well-established financial institutions located in the United States. Accounts used to manage these excess cash reserves do not impose any restrictions or limitations that would prevent us from being able to access such cash amounts immediately. As of July 31, 2012 , the amount of cash and cash equivalents considered free and immediately accessible for other general corporate purposes was $227.0 million .

Our cash and cash equivalents include accounts managed by our subsidiaries and minority-owned subsidiaries that are used in their operations or to cover specific business and regulatory requirements. The availability of this cash for other purposes beyond the operations of these subsidiaries may be limited. Also, some of our foreign subsidiaries may have excess cash reserves which are considered to be undistributed earnings and indefinitely reinvested. Upon distribution of these earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be immediately subject to both U.S. and foreign withholding taxes which would reduce the amount we would ultimately realize. We do not include accounts of our foreign subsidiaries in our calculation of free and immediately accessible cash for other general corporate purposes.

Cash flows from operations decreased $17.7 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011 due to the decline in net income and the net change in our working capital accounts, primarily from the change in the balances of receivables.

Cash flows from investing activities decreased $29.5 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. Net cash used in investing activities includes:

•

Purchases, sales and maturities of marketable securities. We had cash outflows of $13.8 million for the purchase of marketable securities in the first six months of 2012 as compared to $36.6 million in the first six months of 2011. Marketable securities purchased in 2012 and 2011 consisted of investments for the start-up of new investment products and investments in short-term U.S. government agency and commercial paper securities by SIDCO.

Table of Contents

Purchases of marketable securities in the first six months of 2011 include $20.0 million of short-term U.S. government agency and commercial paper securities to initiate SIDCO’s investment program. We had cash inflows of $22.9 million from sales and maturities of marketable securities in the first six months of 2012 as compared to $60.5 million in the first six months of 2011. Marketable securities sold in 2011 primarily includes the proceeds from the sales of SIV securities. Cash inflows from maturities and prepayments of marketable securities were $22.2 million in the first six months of 2012 as compared to $23.1 million in the first six months of 2011.

•

The capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software. We will continue the development of the Global Wealth Platform through a series of releases to expand the functionality of the platform. We capitalized $18.2 million of software development costs in the first six months of 2012 as compared to $20.5 million in the first six months of 2011. Amounts capitalized in 2012 and 2011 include costs for significant enhancements and upgrades to the platform.


•	Capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures in the first six months of 2012 primarily include purchased software. Our capital expenditures in the first six months of 2011 primarily include equipment for our data center operations.

Cash flows from financing activities increased $27.8 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2011. Net cash used in financing activities includes:


•	The repurchase of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of our common stock through multiple authorizations. Currently, there is no expiration date for our common stock repurchase program. We spent approximately $80.9 million during the first six months of 2012 and $94.1 million during the first six months of 2011 for the repurchase of our common stock.

•

Dividend payments. Cash dividends paid were $52.6 million or $.30 per share in the first six months of 2012 and $22.0 million or $.12 per share in the first six months of 2011. The increase in dividends paid in 2012 was due to the payment date of the December 2010 dividend occurring in the calendar year as compared to the payment date of the dividend declared in December 2011 which occurred in January 2012.


•	Principal payments of our debt. Principal payments in the first six months of 2011 include payments of $55.0 million to reduce the outstanding debt associated with our credit facility. We fully repaid the outstanding balance of our credit facility in 2011 and had no debt during the first six months of 2012.

We believe our operating cash flow, available borrowing capacity, and existing cash and cash equivalents should provide adequate funds for ongoing operations; continued investment in new products and equipment; our common stock repurchase program and future dividend payments.

Subsequent Event

On July 31, 2012, SEI, MetLife International Holdings, Inc. (MetLife) and International Finance Corporation (IFC) entered into a definitive agreement with Baring Asset Management Limited to sell all ownership interests in SEI Asset Korea Co., Ltd. (SEI AK). SEI AK is located in South Korea and provides domestic equity and fixed income investment management services to financial institutions and pension funds. SEI AK manages approximately KRW 7.3 trillion ($6.4 billion) as of June 30, 2012. Consummation of the acquisition of SEI AK under the definitive agreement is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Our ownership interest in SEI AK is currently 56.1 percent. We consolidate the assets, liabilities and operations of SEI AK in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The ownership interests in SEI AK for MetLife and IFC is reflected in Noncontrolling interest in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon closing of the agreement, the then current cash balance of SEI AK will be distributed to SEI, Metlife and IFC in accordance with the ownership interests.

As of June 30, 2012, SEI AK has total corporate assets of $48.8 million, of which $42.6 million is included in Cash and Cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All other accounts of SEI AK are not material to any financial statement line item in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We did not provide U.S. deferred taxes on the undistributed earnings of SEI AK since its inception because we considered those earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. As a result of the potential sale of SEI AK, we no longer consider the undistributed earnings to be indefinitely reinvested and, therefore, will accrue approximately $5.0 million in U.S. deferred taxes on the cumulative undistributed earnings of SEI AK during the third quarter 2012. Due to this transaction, our third quarter 2012 tax rate is expected to be between 41.0 percent and 42.0 percent, reflecting the additional accrued taxes of approximately $5.0 million.

If the requisite regulatory approvals are obtained, the other conditions to closing are satisfied or waived and the transaction is consummated, we expect the net after tax gain on the sale of our shares of SEI AK to range from approximately $8.9 million to $20.6 million depending upon revenue during a pre-closing measurement period and specified revenues during three one-year periods after the closing.

Forward-Looking Information and Risk Factors

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Certain information contained in this discussion is or may be considered forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change. Although we believe our assumptions are reasonable, they could be inaccurate. Our actual future revenues and income could differ materially from our expected results. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Among the risks and uncertainties which may affect our future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments are those risks described in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K in Part I, Item 1A. These risks include the following:


•	changes in capital markets that may affect our revenues and earnings;


•	product development risk;


•	consolidation within our target markets, including consolidations between banks and other financial institutions;


•	risk of failure by a third-party service provider;


•	the performance of the funds we manage;


•	the affect of extensive governmental regulation;


•	systems and technology risks;


•	data security risks;


•	third party approval of our investment products with advisors affiliated with independent broker-dealers or other networks;


•	operational risks associated with the processing of investment transactions;


•	changes in, or interpretation of, accounting principles or tax rules and regulations;


•	fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; and


•	retention of senior management personnel.

SEI is a savings and loan holding company subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve. SEI is not subject to specific statutory capital requirements. However, SEI is required to maintain capital that is sufficient to support the holding company and its subsidiaries’ business activities, and the risks inherent in those activities. In June 2012, the Federal Reserve issued three notices of proposed rulemaking (NPR) which would establish an integrated regulatory capital framework that addresses shortcomings in regulatory capital requirements that became apparent during the recent financial crisis. We are currently evaluating the impact on SEI from these proposed rules; however, we do not anticipate the impact from the application of the proposed rules to have a significant impact on the operations or business of SEI.

Our principal, regulated wholly-owned subsidiaries are SEI Investments Distribution Co., or SIDCO, SEI Investments Management Corporation, or SIMC, SEI Private Trust Company, or SPTC, SEI Trust Company, or STC, and SEI Investments (Europe) Limited, or SIEL. SIDCO is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). SIMC is an investment advisor registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. SPTC is a limited purpose federal thrift chartered and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. STC is a Pennsylvania trust company, regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking. SIEL is an investment manager and financial institution subject to regulation by the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom. In addition, various SEI subsidiaries are subject to the jurisdiction of regulatory authorities in Canada, the Republic of Ireland and other foreign countries. The Company has a minority ownership interest in LSV, which is also an investment advisor registered with the SEC.

The Company, its regulated subsidiaries, their regulated services and solutions and their customers are all subject to extensive legislation, regulation and supervision that recently has been subject to, and continues to experience, significant change and increased regulatory activity. These changes and regulatory activities could have a material adverse affect on us and our clients.

The various governmental agencies and self-regulatory authorities that regulate or supervise the Company and various of its subsidiaries have broad administrative powers. In the event of a failure to comply with laws, regulations and requirements of these agencies and authorities, the possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on our ability to engage in business for specified periods of time, the revocation of applicable registration as a broker-dealer, investment advisor or other regulated entity, and, as the case may be, censures and fines. Additionally, certain securities and banking laws applicable to us and our subsidiaries provide for certain private rights of action that could give rise to civil litigation. Any litigation could have significant financial and non-financial consequences including monetary judgments and the requirement to take action or limit activities that could ultimately affect our business.

Governmental scrutiny from regulators, legislative bodies and law enforcement agencies with respect to matters relating to our regulated subsidiaries and their activities, services and solutions, our business practices, our past actions and other matters has increased dramatically in the past several years. Responding to these examinations, investigations, actions and lawsuits, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, is time consuming and expensive and can divert the time and effort of our senior management from our business. Penalties and fines sought by regulatory authorities have increased substantially over the last several years, and certain regulators have been more likely in recent years to commence enforcement actions or to advance or support legislation targeted at the financial services industry. Governmental scrutiny and legal and enforcement proceedings can also have a negative impact on our reputation and on the morale and performance of our employees, which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.

We are subject to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, which contains anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires implementation of regulations applicable to financial services companies, including standards for verifying client identification and monitoring client transactions and detecting and reporting suspicious activities. Anti-money laundering laws outside the United States contain similar requirements.

We offer investment and banking solutions that also are subject to regulation by the federal and state securities and banking authorities, as well as foreign regulatory authorities, where applicable. Existing or future regulations that affect these solutions could lead to a reduction in sales of these solutions or require modifications of these solutions.

Compliance with existing and future regulations and responding to and complying with recent increased regulatory activity affecting broker-dealers, investment advisors, investment companies, financial institutions and their service providers could have a significant impact on us. We periodically undergo regulatory examinations and respond to regulatory inquiries and document requests. In addition, recent legislative activity in the United States (including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and attendant rule making activities) and in other jurisdictions (including the European Union and the United Kingdom) have made and continue to make, extensive changes to the laws regulating financial services firms. As a result of these examinations, inquiries and requests, as a result of increased civil litigation activity, and as a result of these new laws and regulations, we engage legal counsel, review our compliance procedures, solution and service offerings, and business operations, and make changes as we deem necessary. These additional activities and required changes may result in increased expense or may reduce revenues.

Our bank clients are subject to supervision by federal and state banking authorities concerning the manner in which such clients purchase and receive our products and services. Our plan sponsor clients and our subsidiaries providing services to those clients are subject to supervision by the Department of Labor and compliance with employee benefit regulations. Investment advisor and broker-dealer clients are regulated by the SEC, state securities authorities, or FINRA. Existing or future regulations applicable to our clients may affect our clients’ purchase of our products and services.

In addition, see the discussion of governmental regulations in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the risks that proposed regulatory changes may present for our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Information regarding our market risk exposures appears in Part II – Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 . There have been no material changes in our market risk exposures from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2011 .



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II.	OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.	Legal Proceedings.

Table of Contents

after the hearing on the class certification motion. Following the decision by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the Court in the East Baton Rouge action issued an order staying the proceedings in the East Baton Rouge class action pending the outcome of the appeal of the order and judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Following the panel opinion of the Court of Appeals on March 19, 2012, the Court in the East Baton Rouge action scheduled a hearing on class certification for September 20, 2012. On July 18, 2012, the Company filed a petition for certiorari in the United States Supreme Court, seeking review of the decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit to permit the claims against SEI to proceed. The Company believes that the trial court correctly concluded that the claims against SEI were barred by the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act and is requesting that the Supreme Court reinstate that dismissal. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain given its early phase, SEI and SPTC believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously.



Item 1A.	Risk Factors

Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I – Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The description of the risk factor regarding product development risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 has been modified to the following:

We are exposed to product development risk. We continually strive to increase revenues and meet our customers' needs by introducing new products and services. As a result, we are subject to product development risk, which may result in loss if we are unable to develop and deliver fully functional products to our target markets that address our clients' needs and that are developed on a timely basis and reflect an attractive value proposition. The majority of our product development risk pertains to our Global Wealth Platform (GWP). GWP is our newest technology that serves both European and U.S. clients. It is designed to drive our entry into the European private bank and wealth services markets and expand our U.S. market opportunity, improve client experience capabilities and strengthen operating efficiencies by providing straight through business processing solutions and transform the front, middle and back office operations that exist today. New product development is primarily for the purpose of enhancing our competitive position in the industry. In the event that we fail to develop products or services at an acceptable cost or on a timely basis or if we fail to deliver functional products and services which are of sound, economic value to our clients and our target markets, or an inability to support the product in a cost-effective manner, we could suffer significant financial loss.

In addition to the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we are also subject to the following risk factor:

We are subject to financial and non-financial covenants which may restrict our ability to manage liquidity needs. Our $300 million five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) contains financial and non-financial covenants. The non-financial covenants include restrictions on indebtedness, mergers and acquisitions, sale of assets and investments. In the event of default, we have restrictions on paying dividends and repurchasing our common stock. We have one financial covenant, the Leverage Ratio, which restricts the level of indebtedness we can incur to a maximum of 1.75 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). We believe our primary risk is with the financial covenant if we were to incur significant unexpected losses that would impact the EBITDA calculation. This would increase the Leverage Ratio and restrict the amount we could borrow under the Credit Facility. A restriction on our ability to fully utilize our Credit Facility may negatively affect our operating results, liquidity and financial condition.

There have been no other material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2011.
