Item 9. Undertakings.

     (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
          Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to
          directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to
          the provisions described in this registration statement, or otherwise,
          SEI Investments Company (the "Company") has been advised that in the
          opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
          policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
          unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses
          incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
          Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
          is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
          connection with the securities being registered, the Company will,
          unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
          controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
          the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
          policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
          final adjudication of such issue.
