An L.A. Asset Manager Finds Cause to Bolster its Ties with SEI

Reported by Patricia Kelly

While SEI's relationship with Los Angeles-based Causeway Capital Management dates back to the fund firm's inception in 2001, the relationship got a boost on Wednesday with the announcement that SEI will provide outsourcing services for Causeway's expanding lineup of international mutual funds.

Under the agreement, Oaks, Pennsylvania-based SEI is set to offer full service mutual fund administration, accounting, shareholder services and distribution for Causeway's three funds.

The firm's internationally-focused mutual fund menu includes an international value fund, a global value fund, and an emerging markets fund, all of which are U.S.-based mutual funds.

Causeway Capital Management had AUM of roughly $10 billion as of September 30 and employs 45 employees.
