SEI Investments Company announced a partnership with Pravati Capital that will bring litigation‑finance strategies to its SEI Access platform, adding a new asset class to the firm’s alternatives marketplace. The collaboration will allow registered investment advisors to evaluate, access and manage litigation‑finance exposure through SEI’s end‑to‑end technology, automation and data connectivity.
Pravati Capital, founded in 2013, is one of the oldest litigation‑finance firms in the United States. The firm has launched multiple funds, including Fund V, which raised $200 million in commitments in August 2020. The partnership leverages Pravati’s expertise in litigation funding and SEI’s institutional‑grade technology to provide a frictionless onboarding experience, streamlined reporting and secure transaction processing for this uncorrelated, high‑yield alternative investment.
SEI’s Q4 2025 earnings provide context for the partnership. The company reported earnings per share of $1.38 and revenue of $607.93 million, both beating analyst expectations. The earnings beat was driven by strong demand across core segments and disciplined cost management, while revenue growth reflected a mix shift toward higher‑margin alternative‑investment products.
The litigation‑finance market is a key tailwind for the partnership. It was valued at over $20 billion in 2025 and is projected to exceed $50 billion by 2036, according to a Research Nester report. The partnership positions SEI to capture a share of this expanding market and to offer wealth managers and RIAs a diversified, non‑market‑linked product.
Management emphasized the strategic fit of the partnership. "The Pravati‑SEI partnership strengthens our ability to bring litigation finance to the advisor community in a modern, frictionless way," said Kris Kjolberg, managing director and head of capital strategy at Pravati Capital. "SEI’s institutional‑grade technology and deep platform integration allow us to scale efficiently while delivering the transparency and operational excellence advisors expect," added Kjolberg. "By welcoming Pravati Capital to the SEI Access platform, we’re expanding advisors’ access to innovative alternative strategies," said Mathew Dellorso, managing director of sales for SEI Access. "SEI Access provides alternative managers with an end‑to‑end platform that simplifies operations, enhances transparency and supports more efficient engagement with advisors," Dellorso added. CEO Ryan Hicke noted that SEI’s strong Q4 performance—"capping off one of the strongest years in our 58‑year history"—provides a solid foundation for pursuing strategic partnerships like this one.
The partnership aligns with SEI’s broader strategy of adding high‑margin, scalable alternative‑investment offerings to its portfolio. By integrating litigation finance, SEI can broaden its client base among wealth managers and RIAs seeking diversified, non‑market‑linked products, potentially driving additional revenue and client retention in the coming years. The collaboration also expands SEI’s reach into a market that is expected to grow more than double in size over the next decade, reinforcing the firm’s position as a comprehensive alternatives platform.
