SEI Portfolio Update: First Quarter 2023 | SEI Daily Income Trust (SDIT) SDIT-4 Portfolio Manager: Rich Bamford The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Fund than the total-return quotation. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time. The performance data shown is past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-DIAL-SEI. Fee waivers include contractual and voluntary waivers. Contractual fee waivers are in effect until 5/31/23; voluntary fee waivers may be discontinued at any time. Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM AGAINST ITS INDEX FOR THE QUARTER, RICH? A. The Fund returned 1.02% versus 1.07% for the ICE BofA US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. Q. WHAT EFFECT DID YOUR POSITIONING AT THE END OF LAST QUARTER HAVE ON PERFORMANCE? A. During the quarter, the Fund performed in line with the benchmark and within the objectives of principal preservation and liquidity. Demand for short term assets remains elevated; as a result, government fund assets across the industry rose above $4 trillion as investors flocked to safe haven assets following the failure of Silicon Valley Bank in March. Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK GOING FORWARD AND HOW IS THIS REFLECTED IN THE FUND POSITIONING? A. There were minimal changes to Fund positioning. It invests in a combination of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, as well as repurchase agreements. It retained shorter weighted-average maturity (WAM) in anticipation of the opportunity to reinvest at higher yields following rate hikes. BlackRock remains guarded in its investment approach in part due to increased economic uncertainty resulting from a combination of the conflict in Ukraine and elevated inflation. Furthermore, BlackRock has been selective in extension trades. As the Fed continues to get closer to the top of its rate hiking cycle, it will begin to evaluate the entire yield curve for meaningful extension. INVESTMENT STRATEGY: The Government Fund seeks to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income. The Fund primarily invests in U.S. Treasury obligations, obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such obligations. The Fund follows the 1940 Act rules about credit quality, maturity and diversification for money market funds. The Fund seeks securities with acceptable maturities that are marketable, liquid and offer competitive yields.
