REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Plan Administrator of
SEI Investments
Capital Accumulation Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of SEI Investments Capital Accumulation Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements and
the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the 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, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the
accompanying index is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary 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 schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION:
-----------------
The following description of the SEI Investments Capital Accumulation Plan (the
"Plan") provides only general information. The Plan, a contributory defined
contribution plan, was established effective January 1983 by the Board of
Directors of the Company. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a
more complete description of the Plan's provisions. The Plan's sponsor is SEI
Investments Company ("SEI" or the "Company").
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. An employee may enroll in the Plan on the first
day of the payroll period in the month following their date of employment. A
participant may make tax-deferred contributions to the Plan up to the lesser of
15% of compensation or $10,000 for the calendar year 1999, which are deposited
into a "deferral account."
All Company contributions are discretionary and will be made out of available
profits. The Company's matching contribution may not exceed 4% of the
participant's annual compensation or $3,840, whichever is lower, and will be
credited to the participant's matching contribution account. In addition, the
Company may make a contribution to all participants which 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.
Participants are eligible to receive Company contributions at the point when the
participant is eligible to contribute to the Plan. The Company's matching
contributions to the Plan were $1,773,864 and $1,468,836 for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The Company made no other discretionary contributions during 1999
and 1998.
As of December 31, 1999, contributions may be invested in the following
investment options: a Stable Asset Fund, a Core Fixed Income Fund, a Large Cap
Value Fund, an International Equity Fund, a Small Cap Growth Fund, a Large Cap
Growth Fund, a Diversified Moderate Growth Fund, a Diversified Global Growth
Fund, a Diversified Global Stock Fund, a Diversified Conservative Fund, an
Emerging Markets Equity Fund and an SEI Investments Company Common Stock Fund.
All funds in the Plan are sponsored by the Company.
-4-
A description of each investment option is provided below:
Stable Asset Fund--This fund is designed to maintain the value of the
money contributed to the Plan and earn interest. The fund invests mostly
in Guaranteed Investment Contracts purchased from insurance companies and
other financial institutions which are either highly rated (AAA or AA) or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies. This fund's contract
value approximates fair value.
Core Fixed Income Fund--This fund invests in governmental and corporate
bonds and is structured to earn income without significant price
improvement.
Large Cap Value Fund--This fund is structured to invest in equity
securities of large companies. This fund invests in the stocks of
companies whose prices appear low relative to certain fundamental
characteristics such as earnings, book value, or return on equity. The
value of the fund will rise and fall based on these companies'
performance.
International Equity Fund--This fund purchases equity securities in
companies outside of the United States. A majority of these investments
are made in European and Asian companies that have a long-term potential
for growth.
Small Cap Growth Fund--This fund invests in equity securities of small
companies. The object of this fund is to allow the investment to grow as
the companies grow.
Large Cap Growth Fund--This fund invests in equity securities of large
companies. The object of this fund is to allow the investment to grow as
the companies grow.
Diversified Moderate Growth Fund--This fund seeks to provide long-term
capital appreciation with a limited level of current income through
investments in equity and fixed-income funds, including non-U.S. Equity
funds.
Diversified Global Growth Fund--This fund invests primarily in other
equity funds. The object of this fund is to provide long-term capital
appreciation through participation in both U.S. and international equity
markets.
Diversified Global Stock Fund--This fund's object is to provide long-term
capital appreciation through participation in the global equity markets.
The fund achieves this goal primarily through investment in both U.S. and
non-U.S. equities.
Diversified Conservative Fund--This fund invests primarily in money market
and fixed income funds to provide current income with the opportunity for
capital appreciation.
-5-
Emerging Markets Equity Fund--This fund seeks to provide capital
appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity
securities of emerging market issuers.
SEI Investments Company Common Stock Fund--This fund seeks long-term
growth by investing in shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions to the Plan
and all employer contributions credited to their accounts at the time of
contribution plus any earnings thereon.
Amounts in participants' accounts will be distributed in the form of an annuity,
lump sum amount, or a combination thereof to participants or their beneficiaries
upon termination of employment, retirement, death, or total disability.
Employee contributions in a participant's deferral account may be withdrawn
during employment after the employee reaches age 59 1/2 or upon showing
immediate and substantial financial hardship.
Under the tax-deferral feature, after two years of participation in the Plan, a
participant is eligible for a loan amount not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 or
50% of his salary deferred account balance; the minimum loan amount is $1,000.
The loans are made at a rate equivalent to those being charged on similar
commercial loans with terms from one year to five years, except for loans for
the purchase of a primary residence, which can have terms of up to 10 years.
Participants may only borrow against their accounts if they have been making
tax-deferred contributions for at least 24 months. Participants may no longer
make post-tax contributions into the Plan, however, they may withdrawal
previously contributed post-tax amounts at any time.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
-------------------------------------------
Basis of Accounting
- -------------------
The accompanying financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Plan is qualified pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
(the "Code") and accordingly the trust is exempt from income taxation under the
provisions of Section 501(a) of the Code. The Plan has a favorable
determination letter from the IRS. This signifies that the Plan meets the Code
requirements for design. Management believes the Plan is designed and operating
in compliance with the Code and accordingly, there is no provision for income
taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

Valuation of Investments
- ------------------------
The Plan's investments are stated at market value in the accompanying financial
statements.
Management's Use of Estimates
- -----------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Plan's management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the net assets available for
benefits and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in net assets available
for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Fund to participant investment.
