SEI Enhances Integrated Tax Management Capabilities for Greater Portfolio Flexibility and After-Tax Outcomes

Expanded Mutual Fund Integration, Tax Transition, and Gains Budget Capabilities Help Advisors Align Portfolios with Investor Objectives

OAKS, Pa., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SEI^® (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced enhancements to its integrated tax management capabilities for separately managed accounts (SMAs) and unified managed accounts (UMAs), expanding advisors' ability to personalize portfolios, manage embedded unrealized gains, and pursue improved after-tax outcomes for investors.

SEI's integrated approach to tax management is designed to incorporate tax considerations across portfolio design, implementation, trading, and ongoing management. The latest enhancements build on SEI's nearly two decades of tax overlay experience and a significant expansion of tax-management capabilities in 2025, further strengthening the firm's offering by broadening the universe of eligible securities, increasing flexibility during portfolio transitions, and providing advisors with greater systematic control over capital gains realization.

As demand for tax-aware investing continues to rise, advisors are increasingly looking for scalable ways to deliver personalized tax-management solutions. In fact, 92% of advisors serving high-net-worth investors report being asked for tax guidance¹, while 76% of firms identify improving tax management capabilities as a top development priority².

The enhancements further support coordinated tax-loss harvesting, wash-sale awareness, portfolio optimization, and investor reporting through SEI's integrated tax-management process. New capabilities are designed to give advisors greater control and flexibility, including:

• Expanded asset eligibility designed to incorporate eligible mutual funds* alongside exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and individual securities within SEI's tax-management framework, expanding opportunities to transition existing portfolios while seeking to minimize tax consequences.
• Enhanced tax transition optionality, where a new implementation option provides greater flexibility for investors with significant unrealized gains, enabling portfolios to transition over time based on balancing tax-sensitive objectives with traditional tracking-error constraints.
• Greater gains budget control and systemization that enables advisors to establish specific annual net realized gains targets, helping them align portfolio implementation and ongoing management with investor tax preferences and planning objectives.

Erich Holland, Head of SEI's U.S. Wealth & Advisor Business, said:

"Investors no longer view tax efficiency as a complementary benefit to portfolio management; they expect it to be embedded in the investment process. These enhancements reflect our continued commitment to making tax management more intentional, flexible, and integrated throughout the investor experience.

"By expanding eligible assets, introducing greater flexibility for tax-sensitive transitions, and giving advisors more precise control over gains realization, we're helping them deliver a more personalized experience while seeking to improve after-tax outcomes. Tax management is not simply a feature—it is a central philosophy that should inform how portfolios are designed, implemented, and managed over time."
