Safeguarding your clients' assets There is no greater responsibility than the security and safety of your clients' assets. It helps protect futures for the next generation. SEI Private Trust Company maintains custody of all client assets and holds them separately, in the client's name. This is a different approach from a bank or brokerage firm that is able to commingle client assets with its own assets. This commingling of funds has been a factor in many fraud situations. Safeguards in place • All client assets segregated and held in client's name—no commingling of investor funds • Regularly audited by independent and internal auditors • Subject to examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) • May not pledge, lend, or margin assets held in custody • Insurance coverage includes errors and omissions and fidelity bond coverage in an effort to protect investors from SEI employ- ee errors and omissions events as well as employee dishonesty Custody services • Safekeeping/storage of financial assets • Reporting package • Trade settlement • Income distribution • Custodian-to-custodian transfers • Cash processing • Corporate action accounting Our techstodian approach There is no daylight between our technology and custody services.
