TORONTO, Sept. 5, 2019 /CNW/ -- SEI Investments Canada
Company (SEI Canada) today announced the appointment of
John Csaszar as Canadian Equity
Portfolio Manager and Analyst in its Investment Management Unit,
and Dexton Blackstock as Managing

In his new dual role, Csaszar will manage SEI's Canadian equity
funds, as well as retain his current manager research duties. He

Investment Strategy Oversight Committee. With more than 12 years of
industry experience, Csaszar previously served as a Manager
Research Analyst, responsible for analyzing current and prospective
Canadian equity and fixed-income subadvisors for SEI's funds. Prior
to joining SEI, he worked at CIBC Asset Management, where he
researched and evaluated Canadian and global investment managers

"As a manager-of-managers program, understanding the underlying
investment managers in our portfolios is critical. John's
background in manager research puts him in a perfect position to
take over management of the portfolios," said Collins. "I am
confident that he is well-positioned for success in his new role
and pleased to be able to promote from within company ranks."
Blackstock will lead business development in Canada, selling SEI's outsourced chief
investment officer (OCIO) solution to all institutional investors,

"Canadian institutional investors continue to show increased
interest in the OCIO model for investment management, and we are

their needs," said Cagnina. "He is an excellent addition to our
team and we anticipate that he will have an immediate impact on
business development in this region."
