We are a team of learners, creators, communicators, and advocates.
At SEI Novus, we know that our team’s values are more than just words on a page. These values embody our identity, our ambitions, and our culture. They’re tangibly felt each workday. Culture can diminish when it is not intentionally strengthened. We strive to protect our culture by implementing processes, trainings, and tools that support the values each of us are passionate about, and we encourage each other to raise concerns when anything occurs that is contrary to the mission we’ve defined.
So why write the words on the page? If you read on, you’ll notice we care about accountability and we care about communication. Clearly articulating our values—and sharing them with our team, clients, and anyone else who will listen—is our effort to ensure these values continue to thrive. This is something we do not take lightly; the values below define the bonding threads that connect us to each other.
We are a team of listeners, curious minds, and open-hearted individuals who are driven by a shared passion for problem solving. This value reflects our commitment to continuous learning and critical thinking in our approach to supporting investors. We demonstrate this through:
Intentional Listening
We understand that the person who learns the most during a conversation has won. We are attentive and responsive to the needs of our clients and go deep to find solutions. Whether conversing with clients or colleagues, we value impactful questions even more than insightful statements, and our engagement in the moment is absolute.
Empathetic Problem Solving
As true learners and thinkers, we never shy away from asking "why." We relish in exploring the underlying factors that drive a given problem, pain point, or opportunity. We never jump to solutions without first achieving empathy for those it will affect. We value user input above all else.
Growth Opportunities
Our team is constantly in pursuit of a better tomorrow than the day before. We aim to deliver high quality service and products to our partners. We have a growth mindset both as individuals and as a team. Feedback sharing is part of our DNA.
“Make it happen” is our mantra. We work in a rhythm that embraces collective creativity and transforms ideas into reality. We act with audacity and fortitude to fearlessly venture into uncharted territories, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This involves:
Role Ownership
We take responsibility for our work, from start to finish. Instead of passing things off as “someone else’s job or problem,” we identify the areas within our control and start making things happen.
Exceptional Outputs
Simply completing a task is not enough if the finished product lacks the desired level of excellence. We pay attention to details and verify accuracy to deliver exceptional results. We recognize that quality work leads to satisfied stakeholders and contributes to the overall success and reputation of our company.
Big Picture Thinking
We thrive on embracing challenges with a growth mindset. Our instinct is to find solutions that address the bigger picture and long-term impact, not just the matter at hand.
We strive to uphold principles of honesty, morality, and transparency with our employees, customers, and vendors alike. We know that providing a top-quality product and industry-leading service means very little if we are not acting with extreme integrity. This is shown through:
Diversity of Thought
We are thinkers, brainstormers, and action-takers. No two individuals are alike; with every new perspective comes new ideas and different shades of brilliance. We keep this in mind while selecting talent, vendors, and other partners.
Transparent Interactions
The SEI Novus technology is designed to reduce the friction that often restricts data transparency between asset owners with asset managers. Our clients depend on us to help them make data-informed decisions. This is a hefty responsibility. To fulfill it, we overcommunicate and seek to improve the mechanisms used for connection.
Continual Feedback
We think our employees, customers, and vendors should know what we are doing and why. Furthermore, we seek to regularly solicit input from the market to inform our solution. This continuing conversation guides our product marketing, the product itself, and our client service model.
We believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We look to each other when faced with a challenge, knowing that our collective knowledge is powerful. As an organization, we build and strengthen personal relationships through:
Team Goals
We use a team-centric approach when it comes to setting goals. This holds us accountable and helps us support one another. We are passionate about building long-term relationships and providing a great experience for those we work with internally and externally. Lasting relationships are critical to our business growth. Together, and only together, we can reach our goals.
Eager Collaboration
In our pursuit of excellence, we foster an environment that encourages collaboration and teamwork. Each individual perspective is valued—no prequalification necessary. We believe that good ideas can come from anyone and that diverse perspectives enrich our problem-solving approach. No team or teammate is off limits for problem-solving assistance.
Sincere Support
We check in. We look for ways to help our teammates. We offer our assistance. Sometimes this is sharing expertise. Sometimes it’s helping to shoulder a load. Sometimes it’s offering a listening ear. We help because we genuinely care.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are challenges across all industries—ours is no exception. Acknowledging we are at the beginning of a long journey, our team is dedicated to creating and supporting an inclusive working environment, as well as making a positive impact within our sphere of influence. We invite all employees to join the cause of making our organization more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
Words are only words until they’re backed with action; we have demonstrated our commitment to DEI in a few ways so far. Internally, our volunteer DEI working group focuses on creating awareness and providing opportunities to discuss DEI topics at a company level with the goal to educate and encourage growth. We regularly audit our HR processes to ensure inclusivity in how we hire, promote, and grow our team. Externally, we host an annual award that recognizes firms dedicated to doing good with the returns they generate. Our research and marketing teams seek to highlight women-led funds in our content. And within our product, we are leaders in the aggregation of ESG analytics for portfolios—a trend we hope will continue to gain traction in our industry.
