LONDON & OAKS, PA — SEI® (NASDAQ: SEIC) has announced a strategic partnership between SEI Investments (Europe) Limited (SIEL) and Graphene, a U.K.-based Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider, to enhance technology offerings for wealth managers, family offices, and independent financial advisers. In addition, SEI Ventures Inc., the company’s U.S.-based venture capital arm, has made a strategic investment in Graphene.
Under the partnership, Graphene will adopt the SEI Wealth PlatformSM to deliver a fully integrated wealth management infrastructure for its clients. The collaboration aims to give firms of all sizes access to institutional-grade operations and technology with greater flexibility and a streamlined onboarding process.
“We are excited to partner with Graphene to provide their clients seamless access to SEI’s comprehensive suite of integrated technology, operations, and data solutions,” said Jim London, CEO of SEI Investments (Europe) Limited. “By combining our platform capabilities with Graphene’s secure digital infrastructure, we are empowering wealth managers of all sizes with a strong operational foundation that allows them to remain focused on developing innovative strategies that drive growth and enhance customer outcomes.”
Graphene’s platform enables independent firms to own and manage their digital infrastructure while reducing the complexity and cost of maintaining it. The partnership will expand access to SEI’s platform services, helping firms build scalable, data-driven solutions.
“Most independent wealth managers operate on platforms they don’t control, limiting their ability to scale, differentiate, or capture the full economic value of their businesses,” said Kevin Mitchell, Co-Founder and CEO of Graphene. “Working strategically with SEI adds the scale and depth to move faster and give our firms access to institutional-grade services that materially enhance their overall proposition.”
The investment from SEI Ventures aligns with its focus on emerging financial technologies. Earlier in 2025, SEI Ventures also invested in Ctrl Alt, a tokenization platform.
“As wealth management demands increasingly grow complex and the fintech landscape accelerates its exploration of frontier technologies, we’re making strategic investments in companies that are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Alex Cochand, Director of the SEI Venture Studio. “Graphene unlocks access to a different part of the market and data-driven solutions that enable wealth managers and advisers to compete and thrive.”
The partnership marks SEI’s latest move to expand its global reach and strengthen its position in next-generation wealth technology solutions.
