SEI Expands SEC-Registered Transfer Agency

Envision Provides Core Technology to Support Traditional and Alternative Asset Managers with Registered Fund Services

OAKS, Pa., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SEI^® (NASDAQ:SEIC) today announced the expansion of its transfer agency solutions with the introduction of SEI Transfer Agency and Registry Services, Inc. to support a broader range of fund structures. Registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the transfer agency supports U.S.-based traditional and alternative asset managers offering SEC-registered, retail-distributed funds. It will leverage core technology from Envision Financial Systems (Envision), a leading investor accounting platform provider.

For 18 years, SEI's institutional transfer agency has supported a range of products, including CITs, servicing more than 1,100 funds representing $395 billion in AUM.¹ SEI is expanding its current capabilities to include servicing for semi-liquid alternative investment funds, including '40 Act registered closed-end interval funds, closed-end tender offer funds, and business development companies, as well as '34 Act registered 3(c)(7) funds.

Powered by Envision's fully configurable technology platform, allowing for automated, real-time recordkeeping and flexibility to manage data across the enterprise, the transfer agency's comprehensive suite of capabilities includes:

• Investor recordkeeping and accounting
• Transaction processing
• Investor and representative digital interfaces
• Business process automation
• Dealer support services
• Investor statements, transaction confirmations, and tax form reporting
• Compliance with all SEC '34 Act requirements

Commenting on the expansion, Sean Lawlor, Head of Public Markets for SEI's Investment Managers business, said:

"The expansion of SEI's transfer agency capabilities strengthens our role as a trusted strategic partner in helping our clients navigate an ever-changing industry landscape. Leveraging Envision's technology provides us with the added flexibility and reliability to support fund managers at every turn—launching and scaling products, reducing administrative burden, increasing cost efficiency through a single provider, and growing assets. With a focus on delivering a first-class investor experience, underpinned by our advanced operational infrastructure and technology, we are investing in our offerings to enhance the client experience and drive growth."

Amid heightened market demand for expanded access to private markets, asset managers are prioritizing opportunities for alternative investments to appeal to qualified retail investors. Semi-liquid funds are an area of particularly fast growth, surpassing $530 billion in total net assets by the end of 2025.²

Phil McCabe, Head of SEI's Investment Managers business, added:

"Private and public markets continue to converge, bringing new opportunities and increased complexity. SEI sits at the intersection of technology and investments, and our position at the center of financial services enables us to connect the industry and ecosystem for our clients' benefit. Expanding upon our registered transfer agency allows us to further leverage the breadth of our technology and operations capabilities and expertise to capitalize on the rapid growth of private markets."

Brian Jones, Chief Operating Officer of Envision, added:

"Envision is excited about our partnership with SEI. Combining the Envision technology suite with SEI's innovative business model is a winning proposition. It's no secret that our industry is experiencing significant growth in the issuance of semi-liquid alternative funds. Servicing these alternative funds with flexible and open technology that is highly automated will make a huge difference."
