Founded in 1968 as Simulated Environments Inc. to train bank loan officers using computer simulations, SEI Investments (NASDAQ:SEIC) provides technology platforms, investment management, and operational solutions for financial institutions, wealth managers, and investors. Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a stretched historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. SEI Investments's annualized revenue growth of 10.9% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting some bright spots. We track the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) because it highlights whether a company's growth is profitable. SEI Investments's EPS grew at 11% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years, higher than its 6.4% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became more profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. Return on equity (ROE) reveals the profit generated per dollar of shareholder equity, which represents a key source of financial firm funding. Financial firms maintaining elevated ROE levels tend to accelerate wealth creation for shareholders via earnings retention, buybacks, and distributions. Over the last five years, SEI Investments has averaged an ROE of 26.5%, exceptional for a company operating in a sector where the average shakes out around 10% and those putting up 25%+ are greatly admired. This shows SEI Investments has a strong competitive moat.
