The awards recognize top asset managers serving a wide range of institutional investors, including foundations, endowments and pension funds. Winners are selected by a panel of buy-side judges, who cast votes on a range of criteria, which include the company's detailed response to a questionnaire, direct client feedback, industry reputation and past performance. SEI has been offering an OCIO model to institutional investors for 25 years, has over 485 clients globally and manages $91.9 billion in assets as an OCIO (as of 9/30/18).
