SEI Wins 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Award Canada for Canadian Equity Fund Performance

TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2026 /CNW/ -- SEI^® (NASDAQ:SEIC) today announced that SEI Investments Canada Company (SEI Canada) was recognized as the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards 2026 Canada Active Winner, Canadian Equity Fund – Class F, Best Canadian Equity Fund Over 10 Years. The award recognizes the Fund among a portfolio count of 60.

SEI uses a manager-of-managers approach to provide diversified, multi-manager strategies for Canadian investors.

Commenting on the award, John Csaszar, Canadian Equity Portfolio Manager at SEI, said: 

"This award is a meaningful acknowledgement of the disciplined work and expertise behind the SEI Canadian Equity Fund. While we are proud of the recognition, what's most significant is what it represents for the advisors and investors who have placed their trust in us. SEI's diversified, multi-manager investment approach, thoughtful portfolio construction, and long-term perspective have positioned us to help investors stay focused through market volatility and pursue their financial goals.

"We are pleased to see the Fund's decade-long performance recognized independently by LSEG Lipper, reinforcing SEI's commitment to delivering lasting value for Canadian investors."

For more than three decades, the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards have recognized funds and fund management firms for consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers over three-, five- and 10-year periods, using Lipper's quantitative proprietary methodology.

In 2026, LSEG introduced distinct Active and Passive award universes in Canada, replacing the previous Canada and Canada ETF universes. According to LSEG, the change is intended to recognize mutual funds and ETFs according to their investment strategy rather than their fund structure.

Performance for Class F of the Canadian Equity Fund for the period ended October 31, 2026, is: 25.6% (1 year), 28.8% (3 years), 16.1% (5 years), 12.5% (10 years). Performance shown is for Class F units, net of the Fund's operating expenses and applicable management fees payable to SEI. Performance does not reflect any advisory fees that may be payable to the dealer.
