The Morningstar Blended Benchmarks are calculated by blending the Morningstar category returns according to the funds weightings of the various SEI portfolios. Category returns are supplied by Morningstar. The blended benchmarks’ weighting will equal that of its applicable model on a quarterly basis. • For those SEI Funds which employ the ‘manager of managers’ structure, SEI Investments Management Company has ultimately responsibility for the investment performance of the Fund due to its responsibility to oversee the sub-advisers and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement. In addition to the normal risks associated with equity investing, narrowly focused investments and investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Investment return and principal value of a mutual fund investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares on redemption may be worth more or less than the original cost. • This information must be preceded or accompanies by a current prospectus for each fund.
