Ethical Profile

Mixed.

SEI Investments Company's ethical standing presents a mixed picture. In 2020, a ransomware attack on a vendor allegedly exposed data for approximately 100 clients, raising concerns about supply chain security, despite SEI investing $45.3 million in cybersecurity in 2023. The company has also been linked to SEC charges where Scott Mason pleaded guilty to criminal charges, and an FCA Supervisory Review of its European entity was noted. For worker respect, SEI's CEO to median employee pay ratio is 74:1. However, reports suggest its European entity shows women earning 94p for every £1 earned by men in median hourly pay, with a larger bonus gap. While Glassdoor reviews indicate above-average work happiness, some employees express disagreement with fair pay. Data is insufficient for many other ethical areas.

Better Health for All

-10

SEI's core business in financial services has no direct positive or negative health impact, and the company does not offer health-related products or services, nor does it engage in health-related R&D, education, or clinical trials. Its operations do not generate significant health externalities. SEI's Irish-domiciled UCITS Funds exclude investments in companies generating over 10% revenue from thermal coal and controversial weapons, but this relates to investment criteria for client funds, not SEI's own revenue from harmful products.
