2022 Proxy Statement 1 Alfred P. West, Jr. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Last year, we continued to embrace change and move forward with courage and conviction. We understand that our clients face many of the same challenges that we do. Through meaningful relationships and our technology and asset management capabilities, we create lasting partnerships and deliver solutions that address their unique needs. We understand that investors increasingly consider values-based investing and how environmental, social, and governance issues affect their investments. As such, we continue to invest in and advance our sustainable investing capabilities. Through strategic acquisitions, we’ve also continued to invest in enhancing our solutions, deepening our talent, and expanding our market presence. The connections we build help our clients make confident decisions for their future. We are committed to building deep connections across the communities in which we live and work to effect positive change. Our affinity groups elevate our employees’ voices and provide opportunities to come together with shared purpose to make an impact on our communities for tomorrow’s generations. We support charitable organizations moving the needle in areas like technology, education, and the arts. To celebrate the November launch of our new brand, employees supported our communities by donating to local, national, and global nonprofits advancing specific causes through best-in-class programming and volunteerism. Our talented workforce and dedicated global leadership team are at the core of SEI’s spirit and success, and they set our company apart from others. We value the power of individual points of view working together toward our collective growth and potential. Looking ahead, we are confident that Ryan Hicke is the right person to lead SEI as our next CEO, effective June 1, 2022.

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SEI Investments Company (“SEI,” “the Company,” “we,” or “our”) of proxies for use at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 1, 2022, and at any adjournments thereof (our “2022 Annual Meeting”). 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders Action will be taken at our 2022 Annual Meeting to elect three directors with a term expiring at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; to approve on an advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers; to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accountants to examine our consolidated financial statements for 2022; and to consider such other business as may properly come before our 2022 Annual Meeting and any adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction form and our Annual Report for 2021 will be sent to our shareholders on or about April 27, 2022. Our 2022 Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual- only format. Shareholders will not be able to attend our 2022 Annual Meeting in person. Shareholders may attend our 2022 Annual Meeting virtually at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SEIC2022 by entering the 16-digit voting control number found on your proxy card or your voting instruction form. Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee and who need their 16-digit control number should contact their bank, broker or other nominee, and to ensure receipt of the control number in a timely fashion, should do so well in advance of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Voting at the meeting Only the holders of shares of our common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Shares”), of record at the close of business on March 25, 2022 (“Shareholders”), are entitled to vote at our 2022 Annual Meeting. On that date, there were 137,324,629 Shares outstanding and entitled to be voted at our 2022 Annual Meeting. Each Shareholder will have the right to one vote for each Share outstanding in his or her name on our books. See “Ownership of Shares” for information regarding the ownership of Shares by our directors, nominees, officers, and certain shareholders. Quorum and required votes A majority of the Shares entitled to vote at the 2022 Annual Meeting, present either in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for all purposes of the 2022 Annual Meeting. Shares are voted on any matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting, under Pennsylvania law, the Shares will be considered pres- ent for all purposes of the meeting and will therefore be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. Under Pennsylvania law and our Articles and Bylaws, if a quorum is present at the meeting: • the three nominees for election as directors will be elected to the Board if the votes cast for each nomi- nee exceed the votes cast against the nominee;

2022 Proxy Statement 5 • management’s proposal to approve on an advisory basis the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal; and • the ratification of the appointment of our inde- pendent public accountants will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes (such as votes of “Withhold Authority”) on any proposal will not be included in the total of votes cast on that proposal and will not affect the outcome of the vote on that proposal. Other voting information Shares represented by each properly executed proxy card will be voted in the manner specified by the respective Shareholder. If instructions to the contrary are not given, such Shares will be voted FOR the election to our Board of the nominees listed herein; FOR management’s proposal to approve on an advi- sory basis the compensation of our named executive officers; and FOR the ratification of the appoint- ment of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accountants to examine our consolidated financial statements for 2022. If any other matters are properly presented for ac- tion at the meeting, the proxy holders will vote the proxies (which confer discretionary authority to vote on such matters) in accordance with their best judg- ment. Brokers or other nominees who hold Shares for a beneficial owner have the discretion to vote on routine proposals when they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least ten days prior to the Annual Meeting. Your broker is not permitted to vote on your behalf on the election of directors or the advisory vote proposal on approval of compensation and other non-routine matters unless you provide specific instructions by completing and returning the proxy card or by follow- ing the instructions provided to you by your broker, trustee or nominee to vote your Shares via telephone or the Internet. We expect that brokers and nominees will determine that they have the discretion to vote the Shares held of record by them in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial holder only on the ratification of the selection of our independent public accountants. For your vote to be counted, you need to communicate your voting instructions to your broker, trustee or nominee. As a result, it is important to understand that if you hold your Shares through a broker, you must give your broker specific instructions on how to vote your Shares for them to be counted as votes cast on a number of matters being considered at the meeting and to affect the outcome of those votes. You may vote your Shares in one of several ways, depending upon how you own your Shares. If you own shares registered in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee: refer to your proxy card or voting instruction form to see which voting methods are available to you. If you own shares that are registered with our transfer agent in your own name: You may vote on the Internet, by telephone or mail as described on your ballot card or voting instruction form. This year’s annual meeting will be virtual. You may vote during the meeting pursuant to the rules and procedures for participating in and voting during the Annual Meet- ing set forth in our meeting rules of conduct, which shareholders will be able to view prior to or during the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ SEIC2022 by entering the 16-digit voting control num- ber found on your proxy card or your voting instruction form, and by following the instructions to vote. Any record Shareholder giving a proxy or other voting instruction has the right to revoke it by providing written notice of revocation to our Secretary at any time before the proxy or voting instruction is voted. Please read both this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report before you cast your vote.

8 Sustainable investing We continue to seek opportunities to contribute to the development of a more sustainable investment indus- try. In 2021, we were founding members of the U.S. Investment Consultants Sustainability Working Group and the Institutional Investing Diversity Cooperative. In pursuit of our investment stewardship efforts, during 2021 we supported engagement efforts with com- panies held in SEI-managed portfolios on the topics of climate change, sustainable agriculture, modern slavery, the future of work, and board governance. We also continued to evolve our approach to incorpo- rating ESG into manager research and due diligence. In addition to firm evaluations, we evaluate every investment strategy that is considered for our platform for its approach to sustainable investing and invest- ment stewardship. Corporate sustainability We also made progress with our environmental impact. We are supporting wind-powered renewable energy through our purchase of 9207 MW of renewable energy certificates (RECs), matching approximately 50% of the electricity consumed at our headquarters on an annual basis. We strongly believe that a diverse workforce contrib- utes to our global success. As such, we participated as a founding member of the United Kingdom’s 10,000 Black Interns program, which aims to support young Black professionals in the U.K. with paid internships in a wide range of industries, including asset manage- ment, in which Black people have been historically underrepresented. We will continue to participate in 2022.

10 Proposal 1 Election of Directors.

2022 Proxy Statement 11 Required vote and Board recommendation Our Board currently consists of seven members and is divided into three classes comprised of three directors in one class and two directors in each other class. One class is elected each year to hold office for a three-year term and until successors of such class are duly elected and qualified, except in the event of death, resignation, or removal of a director. At our 2022 Annual Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to vote upon the election of three nominees to the class of directors whose term expires at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Shares represented by properly executed proxy cards in the accompanying form will be voted for such nom- inees in the absence of instructions to the contrary. Under our Bylaws, directors must be elected by a majority of votes cast in uncontested elections. This means that the number of votes cast “for” a direc- tor nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “against” the nominee. In contested elections, the vote standard would be a plurality of votes cast. Our Bylaws provide that, in an uncontested election, each director nominee who is an incumbent director must submit to the Board before the annual meet- ing a letter of resignation that is conditioned on not receiving a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting. Should a candidate not receive a majority of the votes cast at the meeting, his or her resignation is tendered to the independent directors of the Board for a determination of whether or not to accept the resignation. The Board’s decision and the basis for the decision would be disclosed within 90 days following the certification of the final vote results. The Board, following the recommendation of the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee and following the nominating process described under the caption “Corporate Governance-Nominating Process” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, has nominated Alfred P. West, Jr., William M. Doran, and Jonathan A. Brassington for election at our 2022 Annual Meet- ing. Each of the nominees are incumbent directors, have consented to be named and to serve if elected, and have provided the Board the conditional letter of resignation that is required under our Bylaws. We do not know of anything that would preclude these nominees from serving if elected. If, for any reason, a nominee should become unable or unwilling to stand for election as a director, either the Shares represented by all proxies authorizing votes for such nominee will be voted for the election of such other person as our Board may recommend, or the number of directors to be elected at our 2022 Annual Meeting will be reduced accordingly. Set forth below is certain information concerning Mr. West, Mr. Doran, and Mr. Brassington and each of the four other current directors whose terms continue after our 2022 Annual Meeting. In deter- mining to nominate the nominees for election to the Board, as well in considering the continued service of the other members of our Board, our Board has considered the specific experiences and attributes of each director listed below, and based on their direct personal experience, the insight and collegiality that each of the nominees and continuing directors brings to board deliberations. Our Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the election of Mr. West, Mr. Doran, and Mr. Brassington to the class of directors whose term expires at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

16 Corporate governance. Governance principles and structures The governance principles of our Board include our Board Nomination and Shareholder Communication Policy, as well as the charters of our Audit Com- mittee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Legal and Regulatory Oversight Committee, and our Lead Independent Director. Other documents which implement our governance principles include our Code of Conduct, our Complaint and Non-Retaliation Policy, and our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers. Each of these documents and various other documents embodying our governance principles, including our Code of Conduct, are published in the Governance section of our website at seic.com. Amendments and waivers of our Code of Ethics for our Senior Fi- nancial Officers will either be posted on our website or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commis- sion on Form 8-K. Our Board has determined that each of Mss. Blu- menstein and McCarthy and Messrs. Brassington, Guarino, and Romeo is an “independent director” as such term is defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) promul- gated by The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. In this Proxy Statement, these five directors are referred to individually as an “independent director” and col- lectively as the “independent directors.” Mr. West, our founder and Chief Executive Officer throughout our history, is also the Chairman of our Board. The Board has concluded, in light of present circumstances and the roles of our various Board committees and the Lead Independent Director, that this arrangement best suits our needs because of Mr. West’s role as founder, strategic visionary, and a significant shareholder. In order to ensure that the considerations of non- management directors are addressed at the Board, the Board has appointed Ms. McCarthy as the Lead Independent Director with the responsibilities and authority set out in the Lead Independent Director Charter. As the Lead Independent Director, Ms. Mc- Carthy is responsible for chairing the executive ses- sions of the Board. Our independent directors meet in regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present. Board and committee meetings Our Board held 25 meetings in 2021. During the year, each director attended more than 75 percent of the meetings of our Board and of the committees on which he or she served. While we do not have a specific written policy with regard to attendance of directors at our annual meetings of shareholders, we encourage, but do not mandate, board member attendance at our annual meetings of shareholders, particularly with respect to board members who are up for election at that annual meeting. All of our di- rectors who were members of the Board at that time attended our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The standing committees of our Board are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Legal and Regulatory Oversight Committee. Our Audit Committee held eight meetings in 2021. The principal functions of the Audit Committee, which operates pursuant to a formal written charter, are to assist our Board in its oversight of the quality and integrity of our financial reporting process, and to retain, set compensation and retention terms for, terminate, oversee, and evaluate the activities of our independent auditors. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Romeo, Guarino and Brassington and Ms. McCarthy, each of whom is an independent director. Our Board has determined that Mr. Romeo is an “audit committee financial expert”

2022 Proxy Statement 17 as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regula- tion S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. A current copy of the charter of the Audit Committee may be viewed on our website at seic.com under “Investor Relations > Corporate Governance.” Our Compensation Committee held four meetings in 2021. The principal function of the Compensation Committee is to administer our compensation pro- grams, including certain stock plans and bonus and incentive plans, as well as the salaries of senior cor- porate officers and employment agreements between us and our senior corporate officers. The Compensa- tion Committee members are Messrs. Guarino and Brassington and Ms. McCarthy, each of whom is an independent director. A current copy of the charter of the Compensation Committee may be viewed on our website at seic.com under “Investor Relations > Cor- porate Governance.” The Compensation Committee establishes director and executive officer compensa- tion in accordance with the authority granted by its charter and the Board-approved compensation plans the Compensation Committee administers. The Com- pensation Committee may delegate its responsibili- ties under limited circumstances to a subcommittee composed only of a subset of Compensation Commit- tee members. Also, under the terms of the Board- and shareholder-approved equity compensation plans, the Compensation Committee is authorized to provide our CEO with limited authority to make stock-based awards to non-executive employees in connection with recruitment, retention, performance recognition or promotion; however, the Compensation Commit- tee has not authorized our CEO to make any equity grants to our executive officers. Our Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting in 2021 to consider the nominees to the Board for election at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The principal function of the Nominating and Governance Committee is to consider nominees for election to the Board from time to time, including recommenda- tions submitted by our shareholders. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Mss. Blumenstein and McCarthy and Messrs. Guarino, Romeo and Brassington, constituting all of our inde- pendent directors. Our Legal and Regulatory Oversight Committee held four meetings in 2021. The principal function of the Legal and Regulatory Oversight Committee is to over- see our compliance with rules and regulations of the various regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over our business and operations and those of our subsidiaries. The members of the Legal and Regulatory Oversight Committee are Messrs. Doran and Romeo and Ms. Blumenstein. A current copy of the charter of the Legal and Regulatory Oversight Committee may be viewed on our website at seic.com under “Investor Relations > Corporate Governance.” Nominating process During 2015, the Board formed a Nominating and Governance Committee consisting solely of our independent directors and adopted a charter for the Nominating and Governance Committee. Among the responsibilities of the Nominating and Governance Committee is the management and administration of our Board Nomination and Shareholder Communica- tion Policy. Board candidates are considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee based on various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, a global business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of our shareholders, and personal integrity and judg- ment. Directors are also considered based on their diverse backgrounds and on contributions that they can make to us, as well as their ability to fill a current board need. In addition, directors must have time available to devote to activities of our Board and to enhance their knowledge of our industry. The Board prefers a mix of background and experience among its members, and it uses its judgment to identify nomi- nees whose backgrounds, attributes and experiences, which taken as a whole, will contribute to insightful and robust, yet collegial, Board deliberation. Accord- ingly, while there is no exact formula, we seek to at- tract and retain highly qualified directors with relevant experience who have sufficient time to attend to their substantial duties and responsibilities to us. Our Nominating and Governance Committee consid- ers recommendations for nominations from a wide variety of sources, including members of our Board, business contacts, our legal counsel, community lead- ers, and members of our management. Our Nominat- ing and Governance Committee will also consider shareholder recommendations for director nominees that are received in a timely manner. Subject to com- pliance with statutory or regulatory requirements, our Nominating and Governance Committee does not expect that candidates recommended by sharehold- ers will be evaluated in a different manner than other candidates. All such recommendations for election of directors at the 2023 annual meeting should be

18 submitted in writing to our Secretary at our principal offices (1 Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks PA 19456-1100) no later than December 28, 2022. The Nominating and Governance Committee Charter and the Board’s current policy with respect to Board Nominees and Shareholder Communications may be viewed on our website at seic.com under “Investor Relations > Corporate Governance.” Shareholder communications to our Board Shareholders may send communications to our Board in writing, addressed to the full Board, individual directors, or a specific committee of our Board, in care of our Secretary, to our principal offices (1 Free- dom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456-1100). Our Board relies on our Secretary to forward written questions or comments to the full Board, named directors, or specific committees of our Board, as appropriate. General comments or inquiries from shareholders are forwarded to the appropriate individual internally. The Board’s current policy with respect to Board Nominees and Shareholder Communications may be viewed on our website at seic.com under “Investor Relations > Corporate Governance.” Risk oversight by the Board It is management’s responsibility to assess and manage the various risks we face. It is the Board’s responsibil- ity to oversee management in this effort. The Board has delegated aspects of their risk management over- sight responsibility to three committees of the Board. The Audit Committee generally oversees risk policies related to our financial statements and reporting. The Legal and Regulatory Oversight Committee generally oversees risk policies related to our compliance with legal and regulatory obligations. The Compensation Committee generally oversees risk policies related to our compensation arrangements. The Board directly considers risk matters related to our strategic, opera- tional, and corporate governance matters, as well as risk that could adversely affect our reputation. We adopted an Enterprise Risk Management Policy and Program based upon the COSO Enterprise Risk Management Framework. Throughout the year, this program is administered by our Enterprise Risk Man- agement team. During the year, senior management members from across our organization convene in our Operations Risk Committee on at least a quarterly basis to discuss various aspects of our operations that create risk for us and mitigation strategies for these risks. At the end of each year, our Chief Financial Of- ficer and our General Counsel work with our Direc- tor of Enterprise Risk Management, internal audit department, compliance department, risk officers of our operations, technology and investment manage- ment units, risk management officers of our regulated subsidiaries, and members of our various solutions development teams to collect, review and prioritize business risks and mitigation measures and responsi- bilities. The different identifiers of risk include a risk assessment prepared by our enterprise risk team; risk assessments prepared by our internal audit team for purposes of developing our internal audit plan; risk assessments prepared by compliance officers for the purpose of identifying compliance policy contents and testing procedures; and risk assessments prepared by the operations, technology and investment manage- ment units for the purpose of creating and refining their internal procedures and controls. This group also considers the results of regulatory examinations of our regulated subsidiaries, as well as issues generally affecting our competitors and the industries of which we are a part. Summaries of these key business risks are then reviewed with our Operations Risk Com- mittee, consisting of the heads of each of our market units and supporting organizations. In January of each year, the key business risk summary is considered by a joint meeting of the Audit Commit- tee and the Legal and Regulatory Oversight Commit- tee of our Board. During the year, our Chief Financial Officer and our General Counsel have responsibility for escalating as appropriate risk events and updates to the Audit Committee and the Legal and Regulatory Oversight Committee, respectively. Other governance principles The Board has also adopted a number of other policies that directly affect governance and risk management. These include our Compensation Recoupment Policy and our Stock Ownership Policy, both of which are de- scribed below under the caption “Compensation Discus- sion and Analysis.” In addition, our Insider Trading Policy provides that directors, executive officers, and other employees subject to our insider trading compliance program are not permitted to enter into any transaction designed to hedge, or having the effect of hedging, the economic risk of owning our securities.

2022 Proxy Statement 21 Compensation discussion and analysis. The following compensation discussion and analysis contains state- ments regarding future individual and Company performance measures, targets and other goals. These goals are disclosed in the limited context of our executive compensation program and should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts. Overview Our compensation philosophy (which is intended to apply to all members of management, including our Chairman and CEO), as implemented by the Compen- sation Committee of our Board (the “Committee”), is to provide a compensation program that provides competitive levels of compensation and that empha- sizes incentive compensation plans and equity plans that are designed to align management incentives and behavior with attaining our annual goals and longer-term objectives. We believe that this approach enables us to attract, retain and reward highly quali- fied personnel and help us achieve our tactical and strategic goals. The Committee seeks to develop a compensation program that, overall, is at levels that the Committee believes are competitive with compen- sation paid to employees with comparable qualifica- tions, experience and responsibilities at companies of comparable size engaged in the same or similar busi- nesses as us and in similar locations. The Committee does not explicitly pay any position at a specific level or mix with reference to any particular group. The compensation program for almost all of our non- sales full-time employees (in addition to benefits af- forded to all employees, such as health care insurance and stock purchase and defined contribution plans) consists of: • base salary; and • incentive compensation awards pursuant to a cor- porate incentive compensation plan. Equity compensation for selected, higher-level em- ployees is provided by annual grants of stock options. The Committee has sought to keep base salaries at a relatively modest portion of total compensation for higher compensated employees, so that the overall compensation program is more heavily weighted toward incentive compensation in the form of annual cash bonuses and sales commissions, and for selected high-performing employees, stock option grants that have performance vesting requirements based on attainment of pre-tax earnings per share (“EPS”) targets as well as minimum time vesting periods. The Committee has sought to include a number of features

22 in the compensation program that are designed to align the interests of management with the interests of shareholders. These features include: • orientating the compensation program elements toward incentive compensation and option awards; • the focus of incentive compensation awards on EPS targets; • the use of EPS targets as vesting requirements for stock option grants; • our Stock Ownership Policy (requiring minimum threshold shareholdings by our executives); • our Compensation Recoupment Policy (which provides for claw-back of incentive compensation in certain instances); and • our Insider Trading Policy (which prohibits short sales, transactions in derivatives of our stock and hedging transactions). Consistent with our pay for performance philosophy, during 2021 approximately 67% of our CEO’s pay and 68% of the compensation of our other named executive officers was paid in the form of variable performance-based compensation, such as incentive compensation or stock options with EPS-based vesting thresholds (see “Summary Compensation Table”). Since 2012, the Committee has retained Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC (“Semler Brossy” or “Con- sultant”) as its executive compensation consultant when structuring compensation plans or engaging in comparative compensation analyses. During 2021, the Committee engaged the Consultant to continue the work the Consultant had undertaken in 2020 to advise the Committee on the overall design of our compensation programs, as well as the elements of the programs. In particular, in March 2021, our current Chairman, Mr. West, determined that after leading SEI since its founding in 1968, it was in the Company’s best interests for him to begin to shift his focus to serving as Executive Chairman of the Board and longer-term strategic planning for the Company and to transition responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Company to a new Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, once identified and named. The Board fully supported Mr. West’s decision and commenced a confidential search for a successor to Mr. West. In connection with the Board’s search for a successor to Mr. West, the Committee engaged the Consultant to advise on the elements of a compensation package that would be appropriate for an incoming CEO and to support the Company’s negotiation of compensa- tion with the eventual CEO candidate. In addition, the Committee sought the advice of the Consultant with respect to additional benchmarking of the elements of the Company’s current compensation programs against those of other industry participants in light of the industry-wide compensation increases and pres- sures being widely reported in the financial services and fintech industries. This benchmarking applied to the compensation programs and practices applicable to all employees, as well as those applicable to our ex- ecutive officers. In addition, the Committee continued its annual engagement activities with the Consul- tant during 2021 and retained the Consultant on an advisory capacity with respect to industry trends. (See “Compensation Consultant” below.) At our 2021 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, our shareholders expressed strong support for the com- pensation of our named executive officers disclosed in our 2021 Proxy Statement, with 96.8% of the votes cast voting in favor of the “Say-on-Pay” proposal. When setting compensation, and in determining our compensation policies and practices, the Committee took into account the results of the 2021 “Say-on-Pay” advisory resolution to approve such executive com- pensation as demonstrating support of our compensa- tion programs. The Committee has also reviewed our compensation policies as generally applicable to all of our employees and believes that our policies, taking into account the mitigation policies and arrangements in place, do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking and that any level of risk they do encourage is not reason- ably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Base salary and incentive compensation targets The Committee seeks to recommend base salaries for management employees at levels that it believes are sufficiently competitive with salaries paid to manage- ment with comparable qualifications, experience and responsibilities at companies of comparable size, operational complexity and businesses to us. At its December 2021 meeting, both the Committee and the Board decided that it would be premature to make any significant changes to the compensation of our executive officers in light of the ongoing search for a successor to Mr. West. Consequently, each of the Committee and the Board determined to defer any significant changes in the base compensation and in- centive compensation targets of our executive officers until Mr. West’s successor had been selected and had the opportunity to review the structure of executive management and the individual contributions of our

2022 Proxy Statement 23 executive officers in the past and as anticipated in the future. Consequently, the Committee and the Board determined to revisit the 2022 base compensation and incentive compensation targets of our executive officers later in the 2022 fiscal year after discussions with Mr. West’s successor and with the benefit of the work product from the Consultant as to recommenda- tions for any potential changes to the compensation benchmarks in light of widely reported compensa- tion increases in the financial services and fintech industries. Incentive compensation Incentive compensation consists of two components: annual bonuses and sales commissions. Sales com- missions are based on sales events and are measured on the basis of asset accumulation, asset retention, or anticipated revenue from contracted sales, generally taking into account related factors, such as expected profit margins. Executive officers participate only in the annual bonus program and do not participate in sales commission plans. Annual bonuses are determined through a process overseen by the Board and the Committee. Each indi- vidual who participates in the plan is assigned a target compensation award which may change from year to year, but generally is the same as that individual’s prior year target amount. In the case of executive officers, the target amount is generally between 133% and 147% of the officer’s base salary, reflecting the determination of the Committee to emphasize performance-based incentive compensation over fixed compensation. Historically, the non-equity incentive compensation awards that may be paid out in any particular year are determined by the Committee by: • determining the aggregate amount of all individual target compensation awards for that year as input into establishing an overall incentive pool that may be paid out if an EPS target is achieved; • early in the year in question, identifying a target earnings per share range for the year that may be considered in determining what percentage of that overall pool will be paid in the particular year; • near the end of the particular year, based on the EPS performance, establishing the overall maximum incentive pool for that year; • apportioning the resulting overall actual incentive pool among the market and business units based on the Committee’s subjective assessment of the degree to which each unit contributed to our overall success and the market unit’s individual strategic and tactical goals for that year; and • then approving management-proposed individual bonuses to employees within those units based on the amount available to the particular unit and the Committee’s consideration of management’s assessment of each individual’s contribution to the achievements of those units, as well as each individual’s personal achievements. This assessment is performed for two different pools: • all executive officers as a group; and • all employees other than executive officers, as a group. When the Committee evaluates market or business units and executive officers for the purpose of making compensation decisions, it meets with our CEO and reviews a number of factors including: • our CEO’s evaluation of the units and the individual executive officers; • the financial and business goals and objectives es- tablished at the beginning of each year to provide a basis for assessment of performance for these units and their executive officers; • financial results of the units, including, as appli- cable, performance against the prior year’s financial performance and other non-financial goals that are considered within the overall business environment; • achievement of strategic and operating results; and • in the case of the individual executive officers: • their success in their management responsibilities generally; • achievement of strategic and tactical goals of their particular market unit; and • their support of, and contribution to, overall corpo- rate success. When the Committee makes decisions regarding equity or non-equity incentive compensation, it exercises independent business judgment. There is no specific formula the Committee applies when con- sidering the factors that the Committee believes are important to the assessment of any of our market or business units’ performance or that of any individual executive officer or our CEO, nor does the Committee attach any specific weighting or priority to the factors it considers. Consequently, there is no direct correla- tion between any particular performance measure and the resulting equity or non-equity incentive compensation awards. The Committee believes that compensation decisions should not be formulaic, rigid or focused on the short-term.

24 Option grants Stock option grants are viewed by the Committee as an important means of aligning the interests of management and employees with the interests of shareholders. All of our outstanding stock options have performance-based vesting provisions: the stock options vest at a rate of 50 percent when a specified earnings-per-share target is achieved, and the remain- ing 50 percent when a second, higher specified earn- ings-per-share target is achieved. Prior to 2017, there was no minimum time-based factor in the vesting of our stock options. Beginning in 2017, the Committee changed the vesting thresholds from an earnings per share target to a pre-tax earnings per share target, and it also implemented minimum time periods for vesting (see “2021 Committee Actions and Awards,” below). Option awards are generally determined by the Committee in December of each year. Our CEO reviews with the Committee the option grants for each executive officer, other than himself, as well as the option grants for the other employees. The Com- mittee then deliberates and establishes the specific option grants and finally submits these option grant amounts to the entire Board for ratification. 2021 Committee actions and awards Industry benchmarking During 2021, the Committee engaged the Consultant to continue the work that the Consultant undertook in 2020 to review a cohort of those companies with which we compete for talent or that the Committee and the Board, as advised by the Consultant, deter- mined would otherwise be useful for benchmarking purposes in order to evaluate: • the reasonable parameters and elements of a compensation package for an incoming CEO that would enable the Company to secure a talented and highly-qualified successor to Mr. West; • the relative amounts of base compensation and incentive compensation of our executive officers other than the CEO; • the elements of our employee and executive officer compensation packages throughout the Company; and • compensation policies and practices in place in our industry in light of the widely reported salary escalations in the financial services and fintech industries. After receiving the input of the Consultant, the Committee determined that the cohort of industry competitors used by the Consultant in 2020 for its benchmarking exercises would provide the Committee with a meaningful, if imperfect, market reference for executive pay levels and design of incentive practices at firms of comparable size or with reasonably compa- rable business and economic models. Consequently, the Company’s “peer group” for the Committee’s 2021 exercise remained the same as the identified 2020 “peer group,” which was: • Affiliated Managers Group • Black Knight • Broadridge Financial Solutions • Eaton Vance • Envestnet • FIS Global • Fiserv • Franklin Resources • Jack Henry & Associates • LPL Financial Holdings • MSCI • SS&C • T. Rowe Price Group • Virtu Although the Committee and the Board used the 2020 “peer group” for purposes of evaluating CEO compensation packages, the Committee and the Board determined that no significant changes would be made to the compensation of our executive officers during 2022 due to the ongoing search for Mr. West’s successor and that any changes to the compensation of our executive officers would occur, if at all, some- time after Mr. West’s successor had been appointed. Thus, the Committee did not reference the 2020 “peer group” in connection with setting the 2022 compensa- tion of our executive officers. During its December 2020 deliberations of com- pensation and the results of the Consultant’s 2020 benchmarking exercise, the Committee and the Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to increase the size of the 2020 option grants given to employees and executive officers relative to the size of those option awards granted in 2019. During its December 2021 deliberations of compensation and after considering the input of the Consultant, the Committee and the Board determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company to decrease the size of the 2021 option grants given

2022 Proxy Statement 25 to employees and certain executive officers relative to the size of those option awards granted in 2020, while still keeping the aggregate grant amount above that of 2019. For reference purposes, the total number of stock options granted to employees in 2021 was ap- proximately 3.3 million to 578 employees, as compared to approximately 4.5 million in 2020 to 543 employees and approximately 2.4 million in 2019 to 491 employees. Award of 2021 incentive compensation For 2021, the Board and the Committee chose to fix the maximum aggregate amount for the non-equity incentive compensation award pool (the “Maximum Bonus Pool”) as 120% of total target non-equity incen- tive compensation. For all executive officers eligible for incentive compensation as of December 2021, the Committee determined, based on its discussion of our performance and that of our business units, markets and individuals, as well as the revenue and sales results of our business units, that the amount to be awarded should be less than the Maximum Bonus Pool but higher than the aggregate target amount of our executive officers, with amounts of non-equity incentive compensation awards above target level to those executive officers who the Committee felt had achieved superior performance during the year. In the aggregate, the non-equity incentive compensation awards made to all executive officers by the Commit- tee were approximately 111% of their aggregate target amount and 92% of the Maximum Bonus Pool. The ag- gregate amount of non-equity incentive compensation awarded to our executive officers was approximately 98% of the aggregate non-equity incentive compensa- tion awards made to our executive officers in 2020. In December 2021, the Committee received our CEO’s views on the 2021 performance of the senior executives (other than himself) and their market or business units, as well as his recommendations for non-equity incen- tive compensation awards and stock option grants for the senior executives and their units. The Committee considered and discussed, among other things: • the recommendations of the CEO; • the Company’s incentive compensation philosophy as described in the Proxy Statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders; • the impact of COVID-19 on the market and the Company’s business and operations; • the input from the Consultant on general industry trends in incentive compensation for fintech com- panies and asset management companies; • the projected annual gross sales events and revenue of the Company’s business units; • the $3.81 diluted earnings per share of the Company; • the growth initiatives launched during the year; • the degree to which the executive officers had managed the challenges of remote working and the issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic; • the overall performance of our asset management business in the face of the difficult market condi- tions for active money management; • our long-term strategic objectives for our executive officers and their respective business units; • the desire of the Committee to align incentive compensation awards to long-term shareholder value creation; • our annual revenue growth of 14% from that which was achieved in 2020; • the approximately $519.4 million returned to our shareholders via dividends and stock repurchases; • our overall long-term strategic goals; • each executive officer’s market or business unit’s: • performance against its sales goals; • contributions to corporate earnings; • revenues and profit margins; and • success in meeting various strategic and tactical goals of the unit; and • the individual performance and achievements of each of the executive officers. The Committee also independently reviewed the performance of the CEO with primary consideration to our overall performance, as well as his individual performance on strategic and non-financial achieve- ments and discussed and approved his annual non- equity incentive compensation award. With respect to our named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table, the annual non-equity incentive compensation award targets for 2021 were $1,100,000 for Mr. West and $800,000 for each of Messrs. McGonigle, McCabe, Withrow and Hicke. The awards to Messrs. West, McGonigle, McCabe, With- row, and Hicke were 110%, 110%, 120%, 120% and 110% of their respective target amounts, respectively. In the case of Mr. West’s incentive compensation awards, the Committee noted Mr. West’s work: • establishing our core values and culture; • defining growth initiatives; • pursuing our strategy; • setting development and innovation activities; and • preparing for the transition of certain aspects of his duties to a new CEO.

26 The Committee considered Mr. McGonigle’s contribu- tions to our culture, his leadership role in our return-to- office planning, and his work overseeing our finances, including managing SWP development expenses and the operations and workforce expenses. Finally, the Committee considered the number of critical functions reporting to Mr. McGonigle, including our Finance, Accounting, Workforce Development, Enterprise Risk, Benefits, Marketing, Corporate Venture Capital and Internal Audit functions, as well as Mr. McGonigle’s leadership of our Private Wealth Management business. The Committee noted that our Investment Managers segment, headed by Mr. McCabe, achieved a record 19% growth in annual revenues and a record 29% growth in annual operating profit, as compared to 2020. The Committee also noted Mr. McCabe’s leader- ship qualities and contributions to the opening of our new Luxembourg office and operations in 2021. Mr. Withrow heads our Investment Advisors segment. In determining Mr. Withrow’s 2021 incentive com- pensation, the Committee considered the improved financial results and sales events achieved by the In- vestment Advisors segment after the repositioning and changed strategies of the Investor Advisors segment. The factors contributing to the successes of the Invest- ment Advisors segment that the Committee weighed included a 21% year-over-year growth in the average asset balances of Total Platform Assets, the execution of a new digital marketing strategy and the successful acquisition of critical front office technology through an M&A process. In the case of Mr. Hicke’s incentive compensation awards, the Committee considered Mr. Hicke’s: • critically important role as our Chief Information Officer, his overall responsibility for our information technology strategy and execution, as well as our U.S. investment operations; • championing of SEI’s cultural, people, and talent initiatives as a senior sponsor on key issues, including playing a leadership role in our programs to mentor the next generation of SEI leadership and working with the SEI Women’s Network and SEI Diversity & Inclusion; • leadership of the SEI Sphere business, our new initiative in cyber and data protection services; • mobilization of SEI’s global workforce leading all technology efforts to work remotely and ensure employee safety through the COVID-19 pandemic; • membership on the SEI Operational Risk Committee (ORC), driving strong risk discipline across all busi- ness activities with a focus on addressing issues and enhancing controls in key areas; • collaboration with Mr. Withrow on the repositioning of the Investment Advisors segment; and • work with Mr. West and other senior executives on the Company’s corporate development initia- tives, including the framing our corporate and M&A strategies and participation in SEI Ventures, our corporate venture capital program. 2021 option awards At the December 2021 meeting, the Committee considered the annual grant of options to each of our named executive officers. The Committee reaffirmed their belief that option grants with performance-based vesting targets were a very effective way to align the interests of the executives with the interests of shareholders. In addition to the factors enumerated above in “Award of 2021 Incentive Compensation” the Committee considered the options currently held by the executive officers, and their remaining terms and exercise prices, the value of which the benchmarking exercise, described in “Industry Benchmarking” above, had determined to be somewhat under the value of equity held by similarly situated executives at the comparison group of companies. The Committee also considered the number of options granted generally to key employees (including executive officers) as a percentage of the outstanding Shares and compared to the number of options granted in prior years. The Com- mittee also considered the relative size of the 2020 option grants as compared to those granted in 2019. After reviewing all such information, the Committee and the Board decided to issue options to our execu- tive officers, as a group, in lesser relative amounts than those that had been awarded in 2020 but in certain instances, still greater in relative amounts than those granted in 2019. In December 2021, the Committee awarded Mr. West a grant of 25,000 options (compared to the 75,000 op- tions granted in December 2020 and 20,000 options granted in December 2019); Mr. McGonigle a grant of 25,000 options (compared to the 75,000 options granted in December 2020 and 30,000 options grant- ed in December 2019); Mr. McCabe a grant of 25,000 options (compared to the 75,000 options granted in December 2020 and 40,000 options granted in De- cember 2019); Mr. Withrow a grant of 40,000 options (compared to the 75,000 options granted in December 2020 and 20,000 options granted in December 2019); and Mr. Hicke a grant of 25,000 options (compared to the 75,000 options granted in December 2020 and 40,000 options granted in December 2019). The number of options granted at the December 2021

2022 Proxy Statement 27 meeting to our named executive officers was approxi- mately 37% of the number granted to such officers in December 2020. In 2021, the Committee approved the grant of ap- proximately 3.3 million options to 578 of our employees compared to the approximately 4.5 million options granted during 2020 to 543 employees. During 2021, we repurchased in open market or private transac- tions 6.75 million Shares under our stock repurchase program at a total cost of approximately $411.5 million, compared to 8.0 million Shares in 2020 at a total cost of approximately $424.7 million. These share repur- chase activities substantially offset the dilution which can result from grants and exercises under our equity compensation programs. 2022 compensation adjustments At its December 2021 meeting, the Committee also considered adjustments to the base compensation and incentive compensation targets of each of our executive officers. In light of the on-going search for a successor to Mr. West, the Committee and the Board determined to revisit the 2022 base compensation and incentive compensation targets of our executive officers later in the 2022 fiscal year after discussions with Mr. West’s successor and the benefit of the work product from the Consultant as to recommendations for any potential changes to the compensation benchmarks in light of the widely reported compensation increases in the financial services and fintech industries. Mr. Hicke, our Chief Information Officer and one of our Executive Vice Presidents during 2021, was, as previously disclosed, appointed our CEO on March 31, 2022 (such appointment to be effective on June 1, 2022). In connection with his appointment, Mr. Hicke entered into an employment agreement with the Company. Mr. Hicke’s employment agreement provides, among other things, Mr. Hicke’s 2022 cash compensation consisting of an: • annual salary of $750,000 (which may be increased, but not decreased, during the four-year term of the employment agreement); and • incentive compensation target of $1,750,000. The actual amount of Mr. Hicke’s 2022 incentive compensation award will be determined by the Com- mittee and the Board based on those factors that the Committee and the Board deem to be appropriate at the time such awards are made in 2022, which factors will include those applicable to the incentive compen- sation awards made to our other executive officers at such time. Additionally, Mr. Hicke’s employment agreement provides, among other things, for certain 2022 equity compensation awards. Mr. Hicke will receive a restrict- ed stock unit grant of 40,000 Shares (the “Staking Grant”) under the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”) that vests over four years in equal annual installments on the first four anniversaries of March 31, 2022, provided that Mr. Hicke remains employed through the applicable vesting date, or that vests immediately in the event of his death, disability or termination without cause. Mr. Hicke will be eligible to receive annual equity grants under the 2014 Plan (or a successor plan) in such form and on such terms as the Committee deems appropri- ate. Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Hicke’s annual equity grant in December 2022 will be a stock option grant to purchase 100,000 Shares, with an exercise price, vesting and other terms similar to the options to purchase Shares granted to other senior executives at that time. Stock ownership policy During 2015, the Committee and the Board adopted a Stock Ownership Policy to be applicable to our direc- tors and executive officers. Under this Policy, direc- tors and executive officers are required to own equity interests in the Company having a required value which is a multiple of their base compensation. The equity value may consist of the ownership of Shares of Common Stock or of vested and exercisable stock options (valued at the amount by which the market price of the underlying shares exceeds the exercise price of the option), provided that at least 50 percent of the required value is in the form of direct owner- ship of our Shares of Common Stock. The required value is equal to five times their annual cash retainer in the case of directors, six times his annual base sal- ary in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, and four times their annual base salary in the case of other ex- ecutive officers. The Policy provides that the required value must have been achieved for existing directors and executive officers by March 2021, and for persons elected as directors or appointed or promoted as officers after the adoption of the Policy, not later than the fifth anniversary of such election or appointment. All of the directors are in compliance with this Policy, and all but one of the ten executive officers to whom the policy applies are in compliance. As per the terms our Stock Ownership Policy, the executive officer who is not in compliance with the policy may not sell more than 50% of the net shares such officer receives at the time of exercise after applicable taxes and the exercise price are withheld.

28 Compensation recoupment policy In early 2011, the Committee adopted a Compensa- tion Recoupment Policy. This policy (also known as a “clawback” policy) permits the Board to recover certain cash incentive compensation or equity grants made to our executive officers and other members of our senior management committee if the person from whom the recoupment is sought engaged in fraud or intentional misconduct that caused the need to restate our financial statements and the result of the restatement would have been to reduce or delay the amount of the incentive compensation or the vesting of the equity grant. We believe that by providing us with the appropriate power to recover incentive compensation paid or equity grants made to an of- ficer in this situation, we demonstrate our commit- ment to strong corporate governance. This clawback policy is in addition to any policies or recovery rights that are provided under applicable laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). In 2015, the SEC issued proposed regulations regarding clawback policies in accor- dance with the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. While the SEC has not yet adopted final rules with respect to clawback policies, in October 2021 the SEC reopened the comment period with respect to the proposed rules, and final rules may be forthcoming as soon as 2022. Compensation consultant The Committee has retained the firm of Semler Brossy as its independent consultant since 2012. During 2021, the Committee re-engaged Semler Brossy to assist the Committee with its responsibilities related to setting compensation for Mr. West’s successor and our execu- tive compensation programs generally, including as described in “Industry Benchmarking” above and ad- vice on general industry trends for executive compen- sation in the asset management and fintech sectors. Semler Brossy provides no other services to us outside of its role as independent Committee advisor. Because of the policies and procedures Semler Brossy and the Committee have in place, the Committee is confident that the advice it receives from the execu- tive compensation consultant is objective. These poli- cies and procedures include the following provisions: • the Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate the executive compensation consultant; • the Consultant has direct access to the Committee without management intervention; • the Committee evaluates the quality and objectiv- ity of the services provided by the Consultant each year and determines whether to continue to retain the Consultant; and • the protocols for the engagement (described below) limit how the Consultant may interact with management. While it is necessary for the Consultant to interact with management to gather information, the Com- mittee has adopted protocols governing if and when the Consultant’s advice and recommendations can be shared with management. These protocols are included in the Consultant’s engagement letter. The Committee also determines the appropriate forum for receiving Consultant recommendations. Where appropriate, management invitees are present to pro- vide context for the recommendations. This approach protects the Committee’s ability to receive objective advice from the Consultant so that the Committee may make independent decisions about our executive compensation. The Consultant reports directly to the Committee and performs no other work for us. The Committee has analyzed whether the work of Semler Brossy as a compensation consultant has raised any conflict of interest, taking into consideration the fol- lowing factors: • The provision of other services to us by Semler Brossy; • The amount of fees by us to Semler Brossy as a percentage of the firm’s total revenue; • Semler Brossy’s policies and procedures that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; • Any business or personal relationship of Semler Brossy or the individual compensation advisors em- ployed by the firm with any of our executive officers; • Any business or personal relationship of the indi- vidual compensation advisors with any member of the Committee; and • Any of our stock owned by Semler Brossy or the indi- vidual compensation advisors employed by the firm. The Committee has determined, based on its analysis of the above factors, that the work of Semler Brossy and the individual compensation advisors employed by Semler Brossy as our compensation consultants has not created any conflict of interest. Application of Section 162(m) Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally limits the tax deductibility of compensation paid to a public company’s chief executive officer and other named executive officers (excluding the company’s principal financial officer for tax years prior to 2018) to $1.0 million during any fiscal year. Prior to 2018, this $1.0 million deduction

2022 Proxy Statement 29 limit did not apply to compensation that qualified as “performance-based.” However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the exemption for performance-based compensation for tax years beginning after 2017, except for providing transition relief for compensation paid pursuant to certain “grandfathered” arrange- ments in effect on November 2, 2017, and expanded the group of current and former executives covered by the $1.0 million deduction limit under Section 162(m). Nevertheless, the Committee remains committed to linking executive pay to performance and does not expect the changes to Section 162(m) to significantly alter the performance-driven design of our compensa- tion programs going forward. Potential payments on termination Mr. Hicke, our Chief Information Officer and one of our Executive Vice Presidents during 2021, was, as previously disclosed, appointed our CEO on March 31, 2022 (such appointment to be effective on June 1, 2022). Mr. Hicke’s employment agreement, among other things, provides for certain compensation and benefits that are in addition to those provided by us pursuant to those plans and arrangements available to our employees generally, and those that are customar- ily (but not required to be) extended to those execu- tive officers terminated without cause or in the event of their death or disability. Mr. Hicke’s employment agreement provides that if he is terminated without cause prior to June 1, 2026, and he executes and does not revoke a general release of claims, then in addition to those benefits generally provided by us to our employees pursuant to those plans and arrangements available to our executive officers generally and those that are customarily (but not required to be) extended to departing executive officers, Mr. Hicke will receive: • an amount equal to any accrued obligations he is owed under the terms of his employment agreement; and • an amount (the “Severance Amount”) equal to the sum of (x) one and one-half times his base salary as of the termination date, plus (y) one and one half times his annual bonus for the year of termination, which Severance Amount would be payable in equal payroll installments during the 18-month period following the year of termination. Mr. Hicke’s employment agreement also provides that in addition to the benefits customarily (but not required to be) extended to departing executive officers if he is terminated without cause or his em- ployment ceases for death or disability, any portion of the Staking Grant that has not vested at the time of such departure will accelerate and the Shares issu- able thereunder will be issued to Mr. Hicke and such shares will be tradeable without restriction. Any options to purchase Shares that have been or may be granted to Mr. Hicke are not subject to the accelerated vesting or extended exercise period provisions of his employment agreement and would be treated in the same manner as have those options held by other departing executive officers. Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Hicke will be subject to covenants not to compete with the Company or solicit its employees or custom- ers during his employment and for a period of 18 months following termination of employment for any reason, as well as confidentiality covenants. The following table illustrates our estimates of the potential value of the payments and benefits to which Mr. Hicke would be entitled to receive upon a termination of his employment without cause or upon his death or disability pursuant to his employ- ment agreement that are in addition to those benefits customarily extended to departing executive officers, in either case as of March 31, 2022. The amounts that Mr. Hicke would receive in an actual termination can only be determined at the time the event occurs. Benefits and Payments Upon Termination Termination Without Cause ($) Death or Disability Cash Severance-Salary (1) $1,125,000 — Cash Severance-Bonus (2) $2,625,000 — Stock Options-Accelerated (3) $2,408,500 $2,408,500 (1) The calculation is 1.5 times Mr. Hicke’s base salary for 2022 per the terms of his employment agreement and does not include the amount of any accrued but unpaid base salary or vacation through the date of termination that may be payable to Mr. Hicke at the time of termination. (2) The calculation is 1.5 times Mr. Hicke’s incentive compensation target for 2022, per the terms of his employment agreement. (3) The aggregate value is based on the closing market price of the Shares on March 31, 2022 ($60.21).

30 Pay ratio Annual total compensation of the median employee for 2021 $96,909 Annual total compensation of the CEO for 2021 $2,367,239 Ratio of annual total compensation of the median employee to the annual total compensation of CEO for 2021 24.4 Pay ratio Consistent with Instruction 2 to Item 402(u) of Regula- tion S-K, the applicable SEC rule, we may identify our median employee for purposes of providing pay ratio disclosure once every three years and calculate and disclose total compensation for that employee each year; provided that, during the last completed fiscal year, there has been no change in the employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we reasonably believe would result in a significant change to the 2021 pay ratio disclosure. We reviewed the changes in our employee population and employee compensatory arrangements and determined there has been no change in our employee population or employee compensatory arrangements that would significantly impact the 2021 pay ratio disclosure. The median employee identified in 2020 remains employed in substantially the same role and at the same location. We chose December 31, 2020 as the date for establish- ing the employee population used in identifying the median employee and used fiscal 2020 as the measure- ment period. We identified the median employee using a consistently applied compensation measure which includes annual base salary or wages, target annual performance-based cash bonuses, target commissions, and long-term equity awards based on their grant date fair values. Permanent employees who joined in 2020 and permanent employees who were on leave during 2020 were assumed to have worked for the entire year. All U.S. and non-U.S. employees employed as of December 31, 2020 were captured. No cost-of-living adjustments were made. With respect to the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, we included the amount reported for Mr. West in the “Total” column for 2021 in the Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement. The annual total compensation of the median employee and the annual total compensa- tion of the Chief Executive Officer were calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K. Compensation Committee report Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Com- pensation Committee Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933,as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”) except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this infor- mation by reference, and this information shall not be deemed filed under such Acts. The members of the Committee consist of Carl A. Guarino (Chair), Kathryn M. McCarthy and Jonathan A. Brassington (as of April 19, 2022), each of whom is an independent director as defined in the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. The Committee operates under a Charter approved by the Board which states that among the purposes of the Committee are to establish and periodically review our compensation philosophy and the adequacy of compensation plans and programs for executive officers and our other em- ployees; to establish compensation arrangements and incentive goals for executive officers and to administer compensation plans; to review the performance of the executive officers and award incentive compensation and adjust compensation arrangements as appropri- ate based upon performance; to review and monitor management development and succession plans and activities; and to prepare the report on executive compensation for inclusion in our annual proxy state- ment in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules and Regulations. The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Com- pensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management, and, based on such review and discussions, the Committee recom- mended to the Board that the Compensation Discus- sion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

Summary compensation table

32 Grants of plan-based awards table The following table discloses certain information concerning options granted during 2021 to each of our named executive officers. Other than these grants, none of the executive officers received any other equity or non- equity incentive plan awards providing for future payouts. (1) All stock options granted to our named executive officers in 2021 were nonqualified options granted upon the approval of the Committee under our 2014 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan, with an exercise price per Share equal to the fair market value of our Shares on the date of grant. 50 percent of these options vest on December 31 of the year in which we attain an adjusted pre-tax earnings per share of $5.75 or more, but not earlier than the second anniver- sary of the date of grant, and the remaining 50 percent of these options vest on December 31 of the year in which we attain an adjusted pre-tax earnings per share of $7.00 or more, but not earlier than the fourth anniversary of the date of grant, in each case based upon our audited financial statements and subject to certain adjustments relating to non-recurring transactions or the option expense we record under Accounting Standards Codification 718 (ASC 718). (2) The Grant Date Fair Value of the Option Grants made on December 10, 2021 was based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in determining the amounts in this column are set forth in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

2022 Proxy Statement 35 Director compensation During 2021, each director who was not an employee received an annual retainer of $70,000. The annual chair fee for the Audit, Compensation, Legal Regulatory and Oversight and Nominating and Governance Com- mittees was $20,000, $15,000, $15,000 and $5,000, respectively, and the annual retainer fee for the Audit Committee was $10,000, for each of the Compensation and Legal Regulatory and Oversight Committees was $7,500, and for the Nominating and Governance Com- mittee was $5,000. The annual retainer for the Lead Independent Director was $15,000. Each non-employee director also receives an annual grant of 10,000 options to purchase Shares. Thus, on December 10, 2021, each of our non-employee directors, Messrs. Doran, Guarino, Romeo and Mss. Blumenstein and McCarthy, was granted options under our 2014 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan to purchase 10,000 Shares at an exercise price of $60.46, all of which options remained outstanding at December 31, 2021. These options have a ten-year term, with 50 percent of these options to vest on December 31 of the year in which we attain adjusted pre-tax earnings per share of $5.75 or more, but not earlier than the second anniversary of the date of grant, and the remaining 50 percent of these options to vest on December 31 of the year in which we attain adjusted pre-tax earnings per share of $7.00 or more, but not earlier than the fourth anniversary of the date of grant (in each case based upon our audited financial statements and subject to certain adjustments relating to the option expense we recorded under ASC 718 and to adjustment for certain extraordinary events). The following table summarizes the compensation paid to our directors for 2021: Name Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($) Option Awards ($)(1) All Other Compensation ($) Total ($) Sarah W.

Romeo 112,500 149,450 — 261,950 (1) Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of options based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in determining the amounts in this column are set forth in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. (2) During 2021, Mr. Doran received trustee fees of $178,000 for serving as a trustee of approximately ten mutual funds or trusts, each of which we either administered or sponsored. During 2021, Mr. Doran served as a director of SEI Investments Distribution Co., SEI Investments (Asia) Limited, SEI Investments (Europe) Ltd., SEI Global Nominee Ltd., SEI Investments Global Fund Services Limited, SEI Investments Global, Limited and SEI Alpha Strategy Portfolios, L.P. and received $14,166 per month pursuant to a consulting agreement with us.

36 Review, approval, or ratification of transactions with related persons Our Board believes that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests (or the perception thereof). Our Code of Conduct thus contains a provision regarding transac- tions with related persons that requires that our Audit Committee review and approve, before it is consum- mated, any “related person” transaction as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K to which a director or executive officer is, directly or indirectly, a party. A related person transaction is any transaction that is anticipated would be reportable by us under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. No related person transaction will be executed without the ap- proval or ratification of our Audit Committee. It is our policy that directors interested in a related person transaction will recuse themselves from any vote on a related person transaction in which they have an interest. Since January 1, 2021, there have been no related person transactions with any director or executive officer of the Company or any other related person, as defined in Rule 404 under Regulation S-K and none is proposed.

Audit Committee report. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and this information shall not be deemed filed under such Acts. The Audit Committee of our Board currently is com- posed of four independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by our Board that complies with the rules adopted by The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. The Audit Committee reviews and reas- sesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis. A copy of the current Audit Committee Charter may be viewed on our website at seic.com under “Investor Relations > Corporate Governance.” The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Romeo (Chair), Mr. Gua- rino, Ms. McCarthy, and Mr. Brassington (as of April 19, 2022). The role of the Audit Committee is to assist our Board in its oversight of the quality and integrity of our financial reporting process. The Audit Committee also has sole authority, among other things, to retain, set compensation and retention terms for, terminate, oversee, and evaluate the activities of our independent auditors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial reporting process, including the sys- tem of internal controls, and for preparation of consoli- dated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent audi- tors are responsible for auditing those financial state- ments and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Committee met eight times in 2021 and held discussions with management and the independent auditors. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial state- ments with management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the matters that registered independent public accounting firms must communicate to audit committees under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules. Our independent auditors also provided to the Audit Com- mittee the written disclosures required by the Public Com- pany Accounting Oversight Board’s independence rules, and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditing firm that firm’s independence. Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent auditors and the Au- dit Committee’s review of the representation of manage- ment and the report of the independent auditors to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that our Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

38 Proposal 2 Advisory vote on executive compensation.

2022 Proxy Statement 39 Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon us, the Board or the Compensation Committee. Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders. To the extent that there is any significant vote against the compensation of our executive officers, we will consider our shareholders’ concerns, and the Compen- sation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. The Board believes that the compensation of our executive officers, as described in the CD&A and the tabular disclo- sures under the heading “Executive Compensation” is appropriate for the reasons stated above. Therefore, the Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR approval of the compensation for our named executive officers. Our compensation philosophy is designed to align each executive’s compensation with our short-term and long-term performance and to provide the compensa- tion and incentives needed to attract, motivate, and retain key executives who are crucial to our long-term success. Shareholders are encouraged to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) and other sections of this proxy statement regarding our compensation practices for named executive officers, which include discussions of the following: • Members of the Compensation Committee of our Board are independent directors. The Compensa- tion Committee has established a thorough process for the review and approval of compensation program designs, practices, and amounts awarded to our executive officers. • The Compensation Committee engaged and received advice from a third-party compensation consultant concerning the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. It selected a peer group of companies, taking into account the compensation consultant’s recommendations, to compare to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. • We have many compensation practices that ensure consistent leadership, decision-making and actions without taking inappropriate or unnecessary risks. The practices include: • We have a cash incentive compensation repay- ment (“clawback”) policy; • We have a stock ownership policy requiring exec- utives to maintain a minimum value of ownership of our equity in accordance with the plan; • We employ our named executive officers “at will” without severance agreements or employ- ment contracts; • We have a long-standing insider trading policy which, among other things, prevents executive officers from buying or selling put or call options or futures on our Shares; • Our performance-based incentive programs include a balance of different measures for short- term and long-term programs; and • Our executive officers’ compensation amounts are aligned with our financial performance and the overall implementation of our business strategies. The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that these policies, procedures, and amounts are ef- fective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving its goals. This advisory shareholder vote, commonly known as “Say-on-Pay,” gives you as a Shareholder the opportunity to approve or not approve our executive compensation program and policies through the following resolution: “Resolved, that the holders of Shares of the Com- pany approve, on an advisory basis, the compensa- tion of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compen- sation Discussion and Analysis, the 2021 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.” Required vote and Board recommendation

40 Proposal 3 Ratification of appointment of independent registered public accountants.

2022 Proxy Statement 41 The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at our 2022 Annual Meeting by the holders of the outstanding Shares is required for the ratification of this appointment. Our Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote FOR approval of this proposal. Fee Category 2021 2020 Audit Fees (1) $5,525,486 $6,386,655 Audit-related Fees (2) 1,716,416 1,540,358 Tax Fees (3) 99,402 26,133 All Other Fees 4,961 3,800 $7,346,265 $7,956,946 Principal accounting fees and services The following is a summary of the fees KPMG billed to us for professional services rendered for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively: The Audit Committee of our Board has selected KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated finan- cial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Audit Committee and the Board seek to have the Shareholders ratify such an appointment of KPMG by the Audit Committee. We note, however, that consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002, our Audit Committee has ultimate authority with respect to the selection of our inde- pendent registered public accountants. Accordingly, if Shareholders do not ratify the appointment of KPMG, our Audit Committee will take that into ac- count in considering whether to continue to retain KPMG. Representatives of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and to respond to appropriate questions. Required vote and Board recommendation (1) Audit fees for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were for professional services rendered for the audits and interim quarterly reviews of our consolidated financial statements and other statutory and subsidiary audits. Audit fees for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 also include fees billed by KPMG for audits of our various Col- lective Trust Funds. These fees were paid by the various funds. (2) Audit-related fees for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were for attestation services, internal control reviews and other audit-related services. (3) Tax fees for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were for tax compliance, including the review or preparation of foreign tax returns, and general tax planning services.

42 Policy on Audit Committee pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services of independent registered public accountants The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation for, and overseeing the work of the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of the retention of the independent auditors for the performance of all audits and lawfully permitted non- audit services and regarding pre-approval of the fees for such services. On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee re- views these requests and advises management if the Audit Committee approves the engagement of the in- dependent auditors to provide these services, as well as certain fee levels for these services. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services as compared to the pre-approved fee levels.

However, if any further business should properly come before our 2022 Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote on such business in accordance with their best judgment.

Forward-looking statements This proxy statement contains forward-looking state- ments within the meaning or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
