Insights
SEI's strategic partnership with Mentenova expands its presence in South Africa, potentially creating new revenue streams from its $517.5B AUM business.
SEI's new strategic partnership with Mentenova represents a calculated geographic expansion that leverages the company's core strengths in quantitative investment management. This move into the South African market creates a new distribution channel for SEI's global investment products, particularly its factor-based equity strategies that utilize value, momentum, quality, and dynamic tilting approaches.
The partnership structure is strategically sound - SEI contributes its quantitative investment expertise and global scale ($517.5 billion in AUM as of June 2025), while Mentenova provides local market knowledge and distribution capabilities. This allows SEI to enter a new market with reduced risk and lower capital requirements than establishing direct operations.
The collaboration fits within SEI's broader international growth strategy, expanding beyond its traditional strongholds. For investors, this represents a measured approach to geographic diversification of revenue streams. The partnership also showcases SEI's ability to package its investment technology and quantitative capabilities for different markets through strategic relationships, demonstrating scalability of its business model beyond direct client relationships.
While the immediate financial impact will likely be modest given South Africa's market size relative to SEI's global operations, the partnership establishes a foothold in an emerging market with potential long-term growth prospects. It also demonstrates SEI's commitment to expanding its global asset management footprint through strategic partnerships rather than just organic growth or major acquisitions.

This core offering will be complemented by active satellite managers and passive indexation components selected by Mentenova.
Through this collaboration, investors can expect a range of key benefits, including:
- Global expertise and local insight - Combining SEI's global leadership in investment management with
$517.5 billion - Long-term performance - Robust, time-tested active quantitative strategies managed by SEI's dedicated QIM team of quantitative researchers, developers, and portfolio managers, supported by industry-leading technology and operations, and paired with Mentenova's proven expertise in portfolio construction and manager selection.
