Private asset managers need more than regulatory expertise. They need robust oversight and a depositary partner that understands their operating model, supports their growth ambitions, and has deep experience with the complexities of private assets. 

SEI provides depositary services for alternative investment funds in Ireland and Luxembourg, combining regulatory expertise, private markets experience, and the flexibility to operate on a stand-alone basis or as part of a broader servicing relationship.

Expertise you can rely on. Oversight you can trust.

Why private asset managers choose SEI for depositary services.
