Legacy Trust Adopts SEI Wealth Platform

OAKS, Pa., Aug. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SEI (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced that Legacy Trust, a private trust company, will adopt the SEI Wealth Platform^SM (the Platform) to enhance its technology infrastructure, increase business efficiency, and provide a unique, streamlined user experience for employees and clients. The Platform is a fully-integrated, single-infrastructure wealth management technology solution developed to support client relationship management, including front-, middle, and back-office services. This news was first announced during SEI's second-quarter 2018 earnings call.

"We're proud of our 14-year relationship with Legacy Trust, and we look forward to helping them achieve long-term growth as they adopt the SEI Wealth Platform," said Al Chiaradonna, Senior Vice President of Private Banking at SEI. "As the consumer demand for a holistic, digital experience continues to increase, wealth management organizations are recognizing the need to improve their technology infrastructures in order to provide their clients a comprehensive, web-based solution. We are honored Legacy Trust selected the Platform to help them improve efficiency and transparency within their organization and enable their future success."

Legacy Trust will migrate their existing book of business from SEI's legacy platform, TRUST 3000^®, to the SEI Wealth Platform in June 2019. The firm will continue to outsource its back-office operations on the Platform, which eliminates multiple applications and integration points common in legacy systems today, employs straight-through processing, and enables a mobility strategy for wealth management organizations.

"Our clients come first, and the SEI Wealth Platform will further enhance our ability to take them through a streamlined wealth advice process," said Tracey Hornbeck, President and CEO at Legacy Trust. "We are excited to continue our long-standing strategic partnership with SEI as we continue our growth journey in building scale and capacity."

The SEI Wealth Platform continues to gain significant market momentum since its 2013 U.S. launch. Of the 24 clients currently signed on to adopt the Platform, 16 private banking firms are installed, and another eight clients are in various stages of implementation.
