OAKS, PA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/12/16 -- SEI (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced that Janney Montgomery Scott LLC (Janney) selected SEI's Asset Management Distribution unit to provide a wide range of asset management services as part of the Firm's strategic investment in evolving their platform of client investment solutions.

Through this strategic partnership, SEI will provide Janney with a custom-designed, innovative solution to meet their specific needs related to evolving their fee-based investment platform. In addition, SEI will provide education, practice management, and various marketing materials that provide advisors and clients information they need as they consider these options in product selection.
