Note 1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
SEI Investments Company (the Company), a Pennsylvania corporation, provides investment processing, investment management, and investment operations solutions to financial institutions, financial advisors, institutional investors, investment managers and ultra-high-net-worth families in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, continental Europe and various other locations throughout the world. Investment processing solutions consist of application and business process outsourcing services, professional services and transaction-based services. Revenues from investment processing solutions are recognized in Information processing and software servicing fees on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, except for fees earned associated with trade execution services which are recognized in Transaction-based and trade execution fees.
Investment management programs consist of mutual funds, alternative investments and separate accounts. These include a series of money market, equity, fixed-income and alternative investment portfolios, primarily in the form of registered investment companies. The Company serves as the administrator and investment advisor for many of these products. Revenues from investment management programs are recognized in Asset management, administration and distribution fees on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Investment operations solutions offer investment managers support for traditional investment products such as mutual funds, collective investment trusts, exchange-traded funds, and institutional and separate accounts, by providing outsourcing services including fund and investment accounting, administration, reconciliation, investor servicing and client reporting. These solutions also provide support to managers focused on alternative investments who manage hedge funds, funds of hedge funds, private equity funds and real estate funds, across registered, partnership and separate account structures domiciled in the United States and overseas. Revenues from investment operations solutions are recognized in Asset management, administration and distribution fees on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain financial information and accompanying note disclosure normally included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 20152016, and cash flows for the sixthree-month periods ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 20152016. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016.
There have been no significant changes in significant accounting policies during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 with the exception of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09). As required by ASU 2016-09, excess tax benefits recognized on stock-based compensation expense are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of the provision for income taxes on a prospective basis (See Note 11). Additionally, excess tax benefits or deficiencies recognized on stock-based compensation expense are classified as an operating activity in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company has applied this provision retrospectively for the periods prior to the Consolidation Analysis (See Note 3)date of adoption. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $624 with a corresponding offset to net cash used for financing activities.
ASU 2016-09 also allows for the option to account for forfeitures as they occur when determining the amount of compensation cost to be recognized, rather than estimating expected forfeitures over the course of a vesting period. The Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. In addition, ASU 2016-09 eliminates anticipated windfalls and shortfalls that were included in the calculation of assumed proceeds for computing the dilutive effect of share-based payment awards in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. No adjustments to the Company's prior period reported diluted earnings per share amounts were permitted by ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (See Note 5).2016-09.
The net cumulative effect to the Company from the adoption of ASU 2016-09 was an increase to paid-in capital of $2,582, a reduction to retained earnings of $1,669 and an increase to deferred tax assets of $913 as of January 1, 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The updated standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The FASB has recently issued several amendments to the standard, including principal versus agent guidance and identifying performance obligations. ASU 2014-09 currently becomes effective for the Company during the first quarter 2018.
The Company is currently evaluatingcontinues to assess the transition method that will be elected and the effect that the updated standardimpact ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02) requiring lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with the exception of short-term leases. For lessees, leases will continue to be classified as either operating or finance leases in the income statement. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model. Lessors will continue to classify leases as operating, direct financing or sales-type leases. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The updated standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09) requiring an entity to record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as an income tax benefit or expense in the income statement. ASU 2016-09 will also require an entity to elect an accounting policy to either estimate the number of forfeitures or account for forfeitures when they occur. ASU 2016-09 becomes effective for the Company during the first quarter 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

LSV is currently an investment sub-advisor for a limited 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 affiliatesaffiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and its interest in the earnings of LSV is reflected in Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliatesaffiliate on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In April 2016, LSV provided an interest in the partnership to select key employees which reduced the ownership percentage of each existing partner on a pro-rata basis. As a result, the Company's total partnership interest in LSV was reduced from approximately 39.2 percent to approximately 38.9 percent.
Guaranty Agreement with LSV Employee Group III
In October 2012, LSV Employee Group III purchased a portion of the partnership interest of three existing LSV employees for $77,700, of which $69,930 was financed through two syndicated term loan facilities contained in a credit agreement with The PrivateBank and Trust Company. The Company provided an unsecured guaranty for $45,000 of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to the lenders through a guaranty agreement. The lenders have the right to seek payment from the Company in the event of a default by LSV Employee Group III. LSV agreed to provide an unsecured guaranty for $24,930 of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to the lenders through a separate guaranty agreement.
The Company’s direct interest in LSV was unchanged as a result of this transaction. The Company has determined that LSV Employee Group III is a VIE;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 III either directly or through any financial responsibility from the guaranty.
In September 2014, LSV Employee Group III made the final principal payment related to the term loan guaranteed by LSV. As of July 21, 2016April 13, 2017, the remaining unpaid principal balance of the term loan guaranteed by the Company was $12,700.$1,065. LSV Employee Group III has met all financial obligations to date regarding the scheduled repayment of the term loans since origination. The Company, in its capacity as guarantor, currently has no obligation of payment relating to the term loan of LSV Employee Group III and, furthermore, fully expects that LSV Employee Group III will meet all of their future obligations regarding the term loan.

Note 3.    Variable Interest Entities – Investment Products
The Company or its affiliates have 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. The Company receives asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees for these services. Clients are the equity investors and participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the net income or loss and net capital gains or losses 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.
The Company has adopted the amendments contained in ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02) during the first quarter 2016. ASU 2015-02 amends the current guidance for both the VIE and the voting interest entity (VOE) consolidation models. This guidance rescinds the indefinite deferral of the VIE guidance for investment companies that permitted application of the risks and rewards based approach.
The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the entities and; therefore, is not required to consolidate any of the pooled investment vehicles for which it receives asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees under the VIE model. The entities either do not meet the definition of a VIE or the Company does not hold a variable interest in the entities. The entities either qualify for the money market scope exception, or are entities in which the Company’s asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees are commensurate with the services provided and include fair terms and conditions, or are entities that are limited partnerships which have substantive kick-out rights. The Company acts as a fiduciary and does not hold any other interests other than insignificant seed money investments in the pooled investment vehicles. For this reason, the Company also concluded that it is not required to consolidate the pooled investment vehicles under the VOE model.
The Company is a party to expense limitation agreements with certain SEI-sponsored money market funds subject to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 which establish a maximum level of ordinary operating expenses incurred by the fund in any fiscal year including, but not limited to, fees of the administrator or its affiliates. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company waived $9,891$7,072 and $12,467$12,477 in fees during the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company waived $22,368 and $23,186, respectively, in fees.

Note 5.    Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, except for the Company's investment funds sponsored by LSV, 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 open-ended mutual funds that are quoted daily. Level 2 financial assets consist of Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) mortgage-backed securities held by the Company's wholly-owned limited purpose federal thrift subsidiary, SEI Private Trust Company (SPTC), Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other U.S. government agency short-term notes and investment grade commercial paper held by SIDCO. The financial assets held by SIDCO were purchased as part of a cash management program requiring only short term, top-tier investment grade government and corporate securities. The financial assets held by SPTC are debt securities issued by GNMA and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities were purchased for the sole purpose of satisfying applicable regulatory requirements and have maturity dates which range from 2020 to 2041.
The Company has retrospectively adopted ASU No. 2015-07, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (ASU 2015-07) during the first quarter 2016 for all periods presented. The fair value of the Company's investment funds sponsored by LSV is measured using the net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. The NAVs of the funds are calculated by the funds' independent custodian and are derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the reporting date. The funds allow for investor redemptions at the end of each calendar month. In accordance with ASU 2015-07, thisThis investment has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.hierarchy but is presented in the tables below to permit reconciliation to the amounts presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The valuation of the Company's Level 2 financial assets held by SIDCO and SPTC are based upon securities pricing policies and procedures utilized by third-party pricing vendors.
The pricing policies and procedures applied during the sixthree months ended June 30March 31, 20162017 were consistent with those as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K at December 31, 20152016. The Company had no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 or December 31, 20152016. There were no transfers of financial assets between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the sixthree months ended June 30March 31, 20162017.
The fair value of certain financial assets and liabilities of the Company was determined using the following inputs:

The Company’sCompany's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 differs from the federal income tax statutory rate due to the following:
 2017 2016
Statutory rate35.0 % 35.0 %
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit1.5
 1.4
Foreign tax expense and tax rate differential(0.8) (0.7)
Tax benefit from stock option exercises(4.2) 
Other, net(0.5) (0.5)
 31.0 % 35.2 %
The decrease in the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09. Under this standard, the tax effects of stock option exercises are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. Therefore, the tax effect of stock option exercises is not spread over the entire year through the use of the annual effective tax rate, was 35.2 percent and 35.6 percentbut instead is recorded entirely in the period in which the tax deduction arose. Accordingly, the Company recorded the income tax benefit as a discrete item in income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, theMarch 31, 2017. The Company's effective tax rate was 35.2 percent and 35.5 percent, respectively.could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to the tax effects of stock-based compensation.
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 20122013 and is no longer subject to state, local or foreign income tax examinations by authorities for years before 2008.2010.
The Company estimates it will recognize $4,503$3,849 of gross unrecognized tax benefits which is expected to be paid within one year due to the expiration of the statute of limitations and resolution of income tax audits and is netted against the current payable account. 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 the 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.

The petitions allege that SEI and SPTC aided and abetted or otherwise participatedLillie case, filed originally in the sale of “certificates of deposit” issued by Stanford International Bank.
The case filed in Ascension Parish was removed to federal court and transferred by the19th Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the United States District Court for the Northern DistrictParish of Texas. The schedule for responding to that petition has not yet been established.
The plaintiffs in two of the cases filed in East Baton Rouge, have granted SEI and SPTC an indefinite extension to respond to the petitions.
In a third East Baton Rouge action,was brought as a class action and is procedurally the most advanced of the cases. SEI and SPTC filed exceptions, which the Court granted in part, dismissing the claims under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act. Plaintiffs then filed a motion for class certification,Act and SEI and SPTC also filed a motion for summary judgment. The Court deferredpermitting the motion for summary judgment, stating thatclaims under the motion would not be set for hearing until after the hearing on class certification. After the Court held a hearing on class certification, it certified a class composed of persons who purchased or renewed any Stanford International Bank certificates of deposit (SIB CDs) in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009 or any person for whom the Stanford Trust Company purchased SIB CDs in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009. SEI and SPTC filed motions for appeal from the class certification judgments. On February 1, 2013, plaintiffs filed a motion for LeaveSecurities Law to File a First Amended and Restated Class Action Petition in which they asked the Court to allow them to amend the petition and add claims against certain of SEI's insurance carriers. On February 5, 2013, the Court granted two of the motions for appeal and the motion for leave to amend. On February 28, 2013, SEI responded to the First Amended and Restated Class Action Petition by seeking dismissal of the action.go forward. On March 11, 2013, the newly-added insurance carrier defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. SEI notifiedOn August 7, 2013, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) of this case as a potential tag-along action. Plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the action to state court. On March 25, 2013, SEI filed a motion requesting that the federal court decline to adopt the state court's order regarding class certification, which the court dismissed without prejudice to renew upon a determination of the jurisdictional issue. On August 7, 2013, the MDL Panel transferred the matter against SEI to the Northern District of Texas. On October 1, 2014, SEI filed a renewed motion to dismiss in Texas where MDL 2099, In re: Stanford Entities Securities Litigation (“the Northern District of Texas, and on October 6, 2014, the District Court denied plaintiffs’ motion to remand.

SEI and SPTC filed their answer on July 1, 2015, and this caseStanford MDL”), is now pending in the Northern District of Texas. On July 15, 2015, SEI and SPTC also filed motions seeking reconsideration of the District Court’s June 17 denial of the motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, seeking leave to pursue an interlocutory appeal of certain elements of the denial, as well as a motion seeking partial judgment on the pleadings pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c) with respect to claims brought under Section 712(D) of the Louisiana Securities Law.pending. On September 22, 2015, the District Court grantedon the motion of SEI and SPTC’s motion for reconsideration of the June 17 denial of the motion to dismiss andSPTC dismissed plaintiffs’ claims for primary liability under Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law, but declined to dismiss or certifyplaintiffs’ claims for interlocutory appeal, plaintiffs’ claimssecondary liability under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law.Law based on the allegations pled by plaintiffs. On November 4, 2015, the District Court granted SEI and SPTC's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims under Section 712(D) of the Louisiana Securities Law. Consequently, the only claims of plaintiffs still pending before the District Court in Lillie are plaintiffs' claims for secondary liability against SEI and SPTC under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law. On May 2, 2016, the District Court certified the class as being "all persons for whom Stanford Trust Company purchased or renewed Stanford Investment Bank Limited certificates of deposit in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009". SEI has askedNotice of the Court to clarifypendency of the class definition becauseaction was mailed to potential class members on October 4, 2016.
On December 1, 2016, a group of plaintiffs who opted out of the one remaining claimLillie class filed a complaint against SEI and SPTC in the action - secondary liability underUnited States District Court in the Middle District of Louisiana, alleging claims essentially the same as those in Lillie. In January 2017, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the proceeding to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. During February 2017, SEI filed its response to the Complaint and in March 2017 the District Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the stipulated dismissal of all claims in this complaint predicated on Section 712(D) or Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law -requires proofLaw.
Another one of the cases, filed in the 23rd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Ascension, also was removed to federal court and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. The schedule for responding to that Stanford Trust Company sold or offeredComplaint has not yet been established.
The plaintiffs in two of the cases remaining in the Parish of East Baton Rouge have granted SEI and SPTC indefinite extensions to sell securities.respond to the petitions.
In the two otheradditional cases, filed in East Baton Rouge and brought by the same counsel who filed the classLillie action, virtually all of the litigation to date has involved motions practice and appellate litigation regarding the existence of federal subjection matter jurisdiction under the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (SLUSA). After the matter was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, that court dismissed the action under SLUSA. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that order, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment on February 26, 2014. The matter was remanded to state court and no material activity has taken place since that date.
While the outcome of this litigation isremains 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 ofin the make-up of the classes,Lillie class, the specific theories of liability that may survive a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion, the relative 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.

A lawsuit entitled Steven Curd and Rebel Curd v. SEI Investments Management Corporation was filed against SIMC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on December 11, 2013. On August 28, 2014, the Court granted SIMC’s motion to dismiss the initial complaint in the lawsuit, but also granted plaintiffs leave to amend the complaint.
On October 2, 2014, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In the amended complaint, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (SGFS) was added as a defendant. The plaintiffs bring the case as a shareholder derivative action against SIMC and SGFS on behalf of certain SEI funds. The claims are based on Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which allows shareholders of a mutual fund to sue the investment adviser of the fund or its affiliates for an alleged breach of fiduciary duty with respect to compensation received by the adviser or its affiliates. The plaintiffs have brought the suit against SIMC and SGFS with respect to five specific SEI Funds: the High Yield Bond, Tax-Managed Large Cap, and Tax-Managed Small/Mid Cap Funds, each of which is a series of the SEI Institutional Managed Trust, the Intermediate Term Municipal Fund, which is a series of the SEI Tax Exempt Trust, and the International Equity Fund, which is a series of the SEI Institutional International Trust (the SEI Funds). The plaintiffs seek: (1) damages for the SEI Funds in the amount of the alleged “excessive” fees earned by SIMC and SGFS beginning from the one year period prior to the filing of the lawsuit, plus interest, costs, and fees; (2) orders declaring that SIMC and SGFS allegedly violated Section 36(b) and enjoining SIMC and SGFS from further alleged violations; and (3) rescission of SIMC’s and SGFS’s contracts with the funds, and restitution of all allegedly excessive fees paid beginning from the one year period prior to the filing of the lawsuit, plus interest, costs, and fees. On November 24, 2014, SIMC and SGFS filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 13, 2015, the Court denied the motion to dismiss with respect to SIMC, and granted the motion to dismiss with respect to SGFS. On September 18, 2015, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint reinstating SGFS as a defendant in the case. The parties are currently engaged in discovery, which is expected to be completed in early 2017. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain given its early phase, SIMC and SGFS believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, and SIMC and SGFS are not reasonably able to provide an estimate of the ultimate loss, if any, with respect to this lawsuit.
On November 26, 2014, a Writ of Summons was issued to two of our subsidiaries, SEI Investments - Global Fund Services Limited (GFSL) and SEI Investments - TrusteeDepositary & Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (T(D&C), to appear before the Court of First Instance Antwerp, Belgium. The plaintiffs in this case allege that through their initial investments in collective investment funds domiciled in Netherlands and subsequent transfer of claim rights to a Belgium domiciled partnership, they are beneficial owners of a portfolio of life settlement policies (the Portfolio) which lapsed due to a failure to make premium payments. The plaintiffs seek to recover jointly and severally from nine defendants including GFSL and TD&C, damages of approximately $84 million. GFSL and TD&C’s involvement in the litigation appears to arise out of their historical provision of administration and custody services, respectively, to the Strategic Life Settlement Fund PLC, who, together with its managers, appear to be the principal defendants in this claim. On December 4, 2015, the Belgium Court dismissed plaintiff's claims for a lack of jurisdiction. On December 22, 2015, the plaintiffs appealed the dismissal. The appeal is still pending.
While the outcome of this action is uncertain given its early phase and the lack of specific theories of liability asserted against GFSL and TD&C, each of GFSL and TD&C believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend

the lawsuit vigorously, and GFSL and TD&C are not reasonably able to provide an estimate of the ultimate loss, if any, with respect to this lawsuit.

The following items had a significant impact on our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 20152016:
Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher Asset management, administration and distribution fees from improved cash flows from new and existing clients. Theclients and market volatility occurring during the course of the preceding 12 months negatively impacted our asset-based fee revenues and partially offset our revenue growth. Despite the volatile market conditions, ourappreciation. Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, increased $10.1$20.7 billion, or six11 percent, to $184.9$201.4 billion in the first sixthree months of 20162017 as compared to $174.8$180.7 billion during the first sixthree months of 20152016. Our average assets under administration increased $28.7$69.3 billion, or seven17 percent, to $419.2$474.0 billion in the first sixthree months of 2017 as compared to $404.7 billion during the first three months of 2016 as compared to $390.4 billion during the first six months of 2015.
Information processing and software servicing fees in our Private Banks segment increased $4.0 million in the first six months of 2016 compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased assets from new and existing clients processed on the SEI Wealth Platform.
Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV decreasedincreased to $59.5$33.6 million in the first sixthree months of 20162017 as compared to $72.7$29.2 million in the first sixthree months of 20152016 primarily due to the decrease inincreased assets under management from LSV's existing clients from volatiledue to market conditions and a reduction in performance fees.appreciation; however, our earnings were negatively impacted by increased personnel expenses of LSV.
We capitalized $16.1$15.2 million in the first sixthree months of 20162017 for the SEI Wealth Platform as compared to $13.6$7.6 million in the first sixthree months of 2015.2016. Amortization expense related to the Platform increased to $22.0$12.0 million during the first

six three months of 20162017 as compared to $20.9$11.0 million during the first sixthree months of 20152016 due to continued enhancements to the Platform.
As we continue the development of new elements of the Platform, our expenses related to maintenance, improvementsenhancements and support have increased. These costs are primarily recognized in personnel and consulting costs and are not eligible

for capitalization. These increased costs primarily impacted the Private Banks and Investment Advisors business segments. We expect these costs to continue to increase through the remainder of 2016 and into 2017.
We also capitalized $3.51.7 million in the first sixthree months of 2017 as compared to $1.8 million in the first three months of 2016 for a newan application being developed for the Investment Managers segment. This new offering includes components that leverage upon the current infrastructure and add significant enhancements designed to aggregate, transact and process data. The application has not yet been placed into service.
Our operating expenses, primarily personnel costs, in our Investment Advisors and Investment Managers segments increased. These expenses primarily consist of operational and marketing costs and are mainly related to servicing existing clients and acquiring new clients. Additionally, sales compensation expense in our Private Banks and Investment Managers segments increased due to new business activity. These operating expenses are included in Compensation, benefits and other personnel costs on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Stock-based compensation increased to $6.2 million in the first three months of 2017 as compared to $3.8 million in the first three months 2016. The strengtheningincrease was primarily due to stock option awards granted in late 2016.
Our effective tax rate was 31.0 percent during the first three months of 2017 as compared to 35.2 percent during the U.S. dollar againstfirst three months of 2016. The decline in our effective tax rate was primarily due to the British pound and Canadian dollar during 2016 negatively impacted our revenues and operating income of our Private Banks and Institutional Investors segments.

Our quarterly effective tax rate could have a further negative impactfluctuate significantly due to our revenues and operating profitsthe tax effects of these segments.stock-based compensation (See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).
We recorded our final pre-tax gainsgain of $2.8 million, or $.01 diluted earnings per share, from the sale of SEI Asset Korea (SEI AK) in the first sixthree months of 2016 and 2015.2016. The gainsgain from the sale areis included in Gain on sale of subsidiary on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations (See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information).
Our effective tax rate was 35.2 percent during the first six months of 2016 as compared to 35.5 percent during the first six months of 2015.
We continued our stock repurchase program during 20162017 and purchased 3.61.1 million shares for $154.1$55.4 million in the sixthree month period.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliatesaffiliate
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates primarily includesaffiliate reflects our less than 50 percent ownership in LSV. Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $30.333.6 million in secondfirst quarter 20162017 as compared to $38.329.2 million in secondfirst quarter 20152016, a decreasean increase of 21 percent. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV was $59.5 million as compared to $72.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 1815 percent. The decreaseincrease in earnings was primarily due to the decline inincreased assets under management from LSV's existing clients fromdue to market volatility during early 2016 and a reduction in performance fees earnedappreciation; however, our earnings were negatively impacted by increased personnel expenses of LSV. LSV's average assets under management decreased $8.2increased $15.6 billion to $77.2$90.3 billion during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 as compared to $85.4$74.7 billion during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2015, a declineMarch 31, 2016, an increase of ten21 percent.
In April 2016, LSV provided an interest in the partnership to select key employees which reduced the ownership percentage of each existing partner on a pro-rata basis. As a result, our total partnership interest in LSV was reduced from approximately 39.2 percent to approximately 38.9 percent.

Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 35.2 percent and 35.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 2015, respectively. For2016 differs from the sixfederal income tax statutory rate due to the following:
 2017 2016
Statutory rate35.0 % 35.0 %
State taxes, net of federal tax benefit1.5
 1.4
Foreign tax expense and tax rate differential(0.8) (0.7)
Tax benefit from stock option exercises

(4.2) 
Other, net(0.5) (0.5)
 31.0 % 35.2 %
The decrease in our tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015,March 31, 2017 was primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2016-09. Under this standard, we no longer record excess tax benefits from stock option exercises as an increase to additional paid in capital, but record such excess tax benefits as a reduction of income tax expense in the reporting period in which the exercises occur. At each interim reporting period, the cumulative stock option exercise activity is remeasured against year to date net income, resulting in an adjustment to the effect from excess tax benefits on our quarterly tax rate. Consequently, our effective tax rate was 35.2 percent and 35.5 percent, respectively.could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to the tax effects of stock-based compensation.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, except for the investment funds sponsored by LSV, is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the investment funds sponsored by LSV is measured using the net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. The fair value of all other 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. We did not have any financial liabilities at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 or December 31, 20152016 (See Note 5 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Regulatory Matters
Like many firms operating within the financial services industry, we are experiencing a difficult regulatory environment across our markets. Our current scale and reach as a provider to the financial services industry, the introduction and implementation of new solutions for our financial services industry clients, the increased regulatory oversight of the financial services industry generally, new laws and regulations affecting the financial services industry and ever-changing regulatory interpretations of existing laws and regulations, and a greater propensity of regulators to pursue enforcement actions and other sanctions against regulated entities, have made this an increasingly challenging and costly regulatory environment in which to operate.
SEI and some of our regulated subsidiaries have undergone or been scheduled to undergo a range of periodic or thematic reviews, examinations or investigations by numerous regulatory authorities around the world, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (FCA), the Central Bank of Ireland and others. These regulatory activities typically result in the identification of matters or practices to be addressed by us or our subsidiaries and, in certain circumstances, the regulatory authorities require remediation activities or pursue enforcement proceedings against us or our subsidiaries. As described under the caption “Regulatory Considerations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the range of possible sanctions that are available to regulatory authorities include limitations on our ability to engage in business for specified periods of time, the revocation of registration, censures and fines. The direct and indirect costs of responding to these regulatory activities and of complying with new or modified regulations, as well as the potential financial costs and potential reputational impact against us of any enforcement proceedings that might result, is uncertain but could have a material adverse impact on our operating results or financial position.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
We transact business in the local currencies of various foreign countries, principally the United Kingdom, Canada and Ireland. The total of all of our foreign operations in these countries accounted for approximately 13nine percent of our total consolidated revenues for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. Also, most of our foreign operations match local currency revenues with local currency costs. We translate sales and other results denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our consolidated financial statements. During periods of a strengthening dollar, our reported international sales and earnings could be reduced because foreign currencies may translate into fewer U.S. dollars. A fluctuation of currency exchangesexchange rates may expose us to gains and losses on non-U.S. currency transactions and a potential devaluation of the local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar which may impair our revenue growth and operating profits and also prolong sales cycles with potential customers. We currently do not engage in any foreign currency hedging strategies. The percentages of our total consolidated revenues and expenses during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 transacted in British pound, Canadian dollar and Euro currencies were as follows:

United Kingdom European Union Membership Referendum
The results
29 of the United Kingdom’s referendum regarding their membership in the European Union (E.U.) (referred to as Brexit) announced in late June 2016 caused significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies in which we conduct business. Our foreign subsidiary located in the United Kingdom, SEI Investments (Europe) Limited (SIEL), accounted for approximately seven percent of our total consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The majority of our operations in the United Kingdom match local currency revenues with local currency costs.36

Cash requirements and liquidity needs are primarily funded through our cash flow from operations and our capacity for additional borrowing. At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, our unused sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and the amount available under our credit facility.
In June 2016, we replaced ourOur credit facility with a new five-year credit facility agreement which provides for borrowings of up to $300 million and is scheduled to expire in June 2021 (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 June

30 of 38



2021. The availability of the credit facility is subject to 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 our 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 21, 2016,April 13, 2017, the amount of cash and cash equivalents considered free and immediately accessible for other general corporate purposes was $290.3$287.8 million.
Our cash and cash equivalents include accounts managed by our 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. In addition to the foreign withholding taxes, the negative impact resulting from unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations on the cash balances held by our foreign subsidiaries would also reduce the amount realized. 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 increased $2.7decreased $5.6 million in the first sixthree months of 20162017 compared to the first sixthree months of 2015. Our cash flows2016 primarily from operations was negatively impacted due to the decrease in our net income and thenegative impact from our unconsolidated affiliate, LSV.

The capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software. We capitalized $16.1$15.2 million of software development costs in the first sixthree months of 20162017 as compared to $13.6$7.6 million in the first sixthree months of 20152016 for significant enhancements for the expanded functionality of the SEI Wealth Platform. Additionally, we also capitalized $3.5$1.7 million and $2.4$1.8 million of software development costs in the first sixthree months of 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, for a new application for the Investment Managers segment.
Capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures in the first sixthree months of 20162017 were $9.0$3.2 million as compared to $15.7$4.6 million in the first sixthree months of 20152016. Our expenditures in 20162017 and 20152016 primarily include purchased software and equipment for our data center operations. Our expenditures in 2015 also include approximately $3.2 million to relocate our London operations to a new facility.
Cash flows used in financing activities increaseddecreased $47.530.3 million in the first sixthree months of 20162017 compared to the first sixthree months of 20152016. 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 had total capital outlays of $155.756.6 million during the first sixthree months of 20162017 and $133.478.4 million during the first sixthree months of 20152016 for the repurchase of our common stock.
Proceeds from the issuance of our common stock. We received $26.316.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock during the first sixthree months of 2017 as compared to $6.5 million during the first three months of 2016 as compared to $42.7 million during the first six months of 2015. The decreaseincrease in proceeds is primarily attributable to a lowerhigher level of stock option exercise activity.

Dividend payments. Cash dividends paid were $84.644.6 million in the first sixthree months of 2017 as compared to $42.7 million in the first three months of 2016 as compared to $80.0 million in the first six months of 2015.
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.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangement
On October 1, 2012, we provided an unsecured guaranty of the obligations of LSV Employee Group III to The PrivateBank and Trust Company and certain other lenders. We entered into this agreement in order to facilitate the acquisition of certain partnership interests of LSV by LSV Employee Group III. Additional information pertaining to the agreement is presented in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

32 of 36



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, challenges, 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, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland) 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 required by this item is set forth under the captions "Our revenues and earnings are affected by changes in capital markets" and "Changes in interest rates may affect the value of our fixed-income investment securities" in Item 1A "Risk Factors" and under the caption "Sensitivity of our revenues and earnings to capital market fluctuations" in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016. There have been no material changes to this information as it is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 20152016.

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.
(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Consequently, the only claims of plaintiffs still pending before the District Court in Lillie are plaintiffs' claims for secondary liability against SEI and SPTC under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law. On May 2, 2016, the District Court certified the class as being "all persons for whom Stanford Trust Company purchased or renewed Stanford Investment Bank Limited certificates of deposit in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009". SEI has askedNotice of the Court to clarifypendency of the class definition becauseaction was mailed to potential class members on October 4, 2016.
On December 1, 2016, a group of plaintiffs who opted out of the one remaining claimLillie class filed a complaint against SEI and SPTC in the action - secondary liability underUnited States District Court in the Middle District of Louisiana, alleging claims essentially the same as those in Lillie. In January 2017, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the proceeding to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. During February 2017, SEI filed its response to the Complaint and in March 2017 the District Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the stipulated dismissal of all claims in this complaint predicated on Section 712(D) or Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law -requires proofLaw.
Another one of the cases, filed in the 23rd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Ascension, also was removed to federal court and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. The schedule for responding to that Stanford Trust Company sold or offeredComplaint has not yet been established.
The plaintiffs in two of the cases remaining in the Parish of East Baton Rouge have granted SEI and SPTC indefinite extensions to sell securities.respond to the petitions.

In the two otheradditional cases, filed in East Baton Rouge and brought by the same counsel who filed the classLillie action, virtually all of the litigation to date has involved motions practice and appellate litigation regarding the existence of federal subjection matter jurisdiction under the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (SLUSA). After the matter was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, that court dismissed the action under SLUSA. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that order, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment on February 26, 2014. The matter was remanded to state court and no material activity has taken place since that date.
While the outcome of this litigation isremains 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 ofin the make-up of the classes,Lillie class, the specific theories of liability that may survive a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion, the relative 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.
A lawsuit entitled Steven Curd and Rebel Curd v. SEI Investments Management Corporation was filed against SIMC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on December 11, 2013. On August 28, 2014, the Court granted SIMC’s motion to dismiss the initial complaint in the lawsuit, but also granted plaintiffs leave to amend the complaint.
On October 2, 2014, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. In the amended complaint, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (SGFS) was added as a defendant. The plaintiffs bring the case as a shareholder derivative action against SIMC and SGFS on behalf of certain SEI funds. The claims are based on Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which allows shareholders of a mutual fund to sue the investment adviser of the fund or its affiliates for an alleged breach of fiduciary duty with respect to compensation received by the adviser or its affiliates. The plaintiffs have brought the suit against SIMC and SGFS with respect to five specific SEI Funds: the High Yield Bond, Tax-Managed Large Cap, and Tax-Managed Small/Mid Cap Funds, each of which is a series of the SEI Institutional Managed Trust, the Intermediate Term Municipal Fund, which is a series of the SEI Tax Exempt Trust, and the International Equity Fund, which is a series of the SEI Institutional International Trust (the SEI Funds). The plaintiffs seek: (1) damages for the SEI Funds in the amount of the alleged “excessive” fees earned by SIMC and SGFS beginning from the one year period prior to the filing of the lawsuit, plus interest, costs, and fees; (2) orders declaring that SIMC and SGFS allegedly violated Section 36(b) and enjoining SIMC and SGFS from further alleged violations; and (3) rescission of SIMC’s and SGFS’s contracts with the funds, and restitution of all allegedly excessive fees paid beginning from the one year period prior to the filing of the lawsuit, plus interest, costs, and fees. On November 24, 2014, SIMC and SGFS filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On July 13, 2015, the Court denied the motion to dismiss with respect to SIMC, and granted the motion to dismiss with respect to SGFS. On September 18, 2015, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint reinstating SGFS as a defendant in the case. The parties are currently engaged in discovery, which is expected to be completed in early 2017. While the outcome of this litigation is uncertain given its early phase, SIMC and SGFS believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, and SIMC and SGFS are not reasonably able to provide an estimate of the ultimate loss, if any, with respect to this lawsuit.
On November 26, 2014, a Writ of Summons was issued to two of our subsidiaries, SEI Investments - Global Fund Services Limited (GFSL) and SEI Investments - TrusteeDepositary & Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited (T(D&C), to appear before the Court of First Instance Antwerp, Belgium. The plaintiffs in this case allege that through their initial investments in collective investment funds domiciled in Netherlands and subsequent transfer of claim rights to a Belgium domiciled partnership, they are beneficial owners of a portfolio of life settlement policies (the Portfolio) which lapsed due to a failure to

34 of 36



make premium payments. The plaintiffs seek to recover jointly and severally from nine defendants including GFSL and TD&C, damages of approximately $84 million. GFSL and TD&C’s involvement in the litigation appears to arise out of their historical provision of administration and custody services, respectively, to the Strategic Life Settlement Fund PLC, who, together with its managers, appear to be the principal defendants in this claim. On December 4, 2015, the Belgium Court dismissed plaintiff's claims for a lack of jurisdiction. On December 22, 2015, the plaintiffs appealed the dismissal. The appeal is still pending.
While the outcome of this action is uncertain given its early phase and the lack of specific theories of liability asserted against GFSL and TD&C, each of GFSL and TD&C believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs’ claims and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously, and GFSL and TD&C are not reasonably able to provide an estimate of the ultimate loss, if any, with respect to this lawsuit.
