Strategy. The Tax-Managed Managed Volatility Fund will typically invest in securities of U.S. companies of all capitalization ranges. These securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Fund may also, to a lesser extent, invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and securities of non-U.S. companies. Although the Fund will be measured against the Russell 3000 Index, the Fund is expected to have significant sector and market capitalization deviations from the index given its focus on absolute risk as opposed to index relative risk. This could lead to significant performance deviations relative to the index over shorter-term periods.

These securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Fund may also, to a lesser extent, invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), real estate investment trusts (REITs) and securities of non-U.S. companies. Although the Fund will be measured against the Russell 3000 Index, the Fund is expected to have significant sector and market capitalization deviations from the index given its focus on absolute risk as opposed to index relative risk. This could lead to significant performance deviations relative to the index over shorter-term periods. SEI Investments Management Corporation, the Fund's adviser (SIMC or the Adviser), directly manages a portion of the Fund's assets. With the remaining assets, the Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying on one or more sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) with differing investment approaches to manage Fund assets under the general supervision of SIMC. The Fund seeks to achieve an absolute return of the broad U.S. equity markets in a tax-efficient fashion, but with a lower absolute volatility. Over the long term, the Fund seeks to achieve a return similar to that of the Russell 3000 Index, but with a lower level of volatility. However, given that the Fund's investment strategy focuses on absolute return and risk, the Fund's sector and market capitalization exposures will typically vary from the index and may cause significant performance deviations relative to the index over shorter-term periods. The Fund seeks to achieve lower volatility by constructing a portfolio of securities that effectively weighs securities based on their total expected risk and return without regard to market capitalization and industry. This will tend to lead SIMC and the Fund's Sub-Advisers to construct portfolios with a low beta relative to the overall U.S. equity market. The Fund implements the investment recommendations of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers through the use of an overlay manager appointed by SIMC. Each such Sub-Adviser and SIMC provides a model portfolio to the overlay manager on an ongoing basis that represents that Sub-Adviser's or SIMC's recommendation as to the securities to be purchased, sold or retained by the Fund. The overlay manager then constructs a portfolio for the Fund that represents the aggregation of the model portfolios of the Sub-Advisers and SIMC, with the weighting of each such Sub-Adviser's model in the total portfolio determined by SIMC. Pursuant to direction from SIMC, the overlay manager has limited authority to vary from the models. For example, SIMC may direct the overlay manager to adjust the portfolio to implement SIMC's forward looking views regarding various portfolio characteristics or factors, or for risk management purposes. The overlay manager may also vary the portfolio implementation to seek trading efficiencies, loss harvesting, portfolio rebalancing or other portfolio construction objectives as directed by SIMC.
