TORONTO, Sept. 5, 2019 – 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 Director, Head of Canadian Business Development for SEI’s Institutional Group.

In his new dual role, Csaszar will manage SEI’s Canadian equity funds, as well as retain his current manager research duties. He will report to Jason Collins, Global Head of Equity Portfolio Management, and join SEI’s Equity 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 for a range of asset classes.

“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, including non-profits, corporations, unions and governments. With more than 20 years’ experience in the investment industry, Blackstock joins SEI from BMO Global Asset Management, where he most recently served as Director of Institutional Sales and Service. He will report to Michael Cagnina, Vice President and Managing Director of North American New Business Development for SEI’s Institutional Group.

“Canadian institutional investors continue to show increased interest in the OCIO model for investment management, and we are thrilled to add Dexton’s two decades of experience in understanding 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.”
