SEI (NASDAQ:SEIC) today announced that Rockland Trust Investment Management Group (IMG) will adopt the SEI Wealth PlatformSM (the Platform) to provide a modernized user experience through a web-based wealth management solution. The Platform is a fully-integrated, single-infrastructure 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 are excited to continue our 27-year relationship with Rockland Trust IMG," said Al Chiaradonna, Senior Vice President of Private Banking at SEI. "The SEI Wealth Platform provides the integrated tools and automation designed to boost transparency between Rockland Trust IMG and their clients, as well as improve workflow efficiency and, ultimately, the user experience."
Rockland Trust IMG will migrate approximately $2.9 billion in assets under management and $3.2 billion in total assets, from SEI's legacy platform, TRUST 3000®, to the SEI Wealth Platform in summer 2019. The firm will continue to leverage SEI to support its back-office operations, eliminating multiple applications and integration points common in legacy infrastructure today.
"We strive to foster and maintain close, transparent relationships with our clients, as they are our top priority," said David B. Smith, CFA, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer at Rockland Trust IMG. "We look forward to working with SEI as we drive the evolution of our business and keep our clients' needs at the heart of everything we do."
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.
