  • Quotes

    “ What gets me super excited is how we start thinking about the ‘what ifs’, documenting those ‘what ifs’, figuring out what we can actually do over the next 6, 12, 18, 24 months, and then bringing that story out into the marketplace.” ~ Michael Lane

    “As you look around the marketplace, there are very few providers that exist out there that can do as many things as SEI can do.” ~ Michael Lane

    "Whatever you thought SEI was, probably isn't what it is. I hope we have an opportunity to spend a lot more time with the advisor and institutional community to help them better understand who we really are." ~ Michael Lane
