OAKS, PA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/02/16 -- SEI (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced the appointment of Michael Cagnina as Vice President and Managing Director of North American Sales for SEI's Institutional Group. In his new role, Cagnina will oversee new business development for the institutional market segments in the U.S. and Canada, including corporate defined benefit and defined contribution plans, multiemployer plans, public pension plans, healthcare organizations and nonprofit foundations, and endowments.

Cagnina replaces Paul Klauder who was named Executive Vice President of SEI and Head of the Institutional Group in late January, upon Edward Loughlin's retirement. Cagnina has worked at SEI for 24 years and alongside Klauder for 22 years in SEI's Institutional Group.

"Having worked closely with Mike for more than two decades, I'm extremely confident in his leadership capabilities and investment expertise as we continue to grow our Institutional investor business," Klauder said. "As more institutional investors embrace the benefits of outsourcing asset management, it's resulting in a lot of exciting opportunities and new strategic partnerships for SEI."
