Investment services provided by SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI. The Investment Management Unit and Fixed Income Portfolio Management are teams within SIMC. Technology services provided by SEI Global Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI. Your financial advisor is not affiliated with SEI or its subsidiaries. For those portfolios of individually managed securities, SIMC makes recommendations as to which manager will manage each asset class.

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee your investment objectives will be met. Diversification may not protect against market risk. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. A portfolio's concentration in a limited number of securities will increase the impact of, and potential losses associated with, the risks from investing in those securities. There is no guarantee that an investmentʼs income will be exempt from federal or state income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are subject to capital gains tax. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. SIMC does not represent in any manner that the tax consequences described as part of its tax-management techniques and strategies will be achieved or that any of SIMC's tax-management techniques, or any of its products and/or services, will result in any particular tax consequence. The tax consequences of the tax-management techniques, including those intended to harvest tax losses, and other strategies that SIMC may pursue are complex and uncertain and may be challenged by the IRS. Neither SIMC nor its affiliates provide tax advice. Please note that (i) any discussion of U.S. tax matters contained in this communication cannot be used by you for the purpose of avoiding tax, penalties, and/or interest which may be imposed by the IRS or any other taxing authority; (ii) this communication was written to support the promotion or marketing of the matters addressed herein; and (iii) you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. Accordingly, Clients should confer with their personal tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing with SIMC and engaging in the tax-management techniques described herein (including the described tax loss harvesting strategies) based on their particular circumstances. Clients and their personal tax advisors are responsible for how the transactions conducted in an account are reported to the IRS or any other taxing authority on the Client's personal tax returns. SIMC assumes no responsibility for the tax consequences to any Client of any transaction. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) guidelines may cause a manager to make or avoid certain investment decisions when it may be disadvantageous to do so. This means that these investments may underperform other similar investments that do not consider ESG guidelines when making investment decisions. ESG and Sustainability are not uniformly defined across the industry. In all cases, a Client may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on the management of a Client's account. Such restrictions may include one or more "screens" offered by SIMC that restrict or permanently remove securities from the Client's selected strategy on the basis of ESG or other criteria. SEI has selected and engaged Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and MSCI ESG Research LLC, the "vendors" to provide the selected screens. The vendors can vary from other ESG vendors and advisers with respect to its methodology for constructing screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and applies as part of its process. As a result, the vendors' screens may differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG vendors or advisers with respect to the same issuers. A client restriction, including the selection of a screen, will likely contribute to performance deviations from the strategy, including underperformance. Investment screens can be applied to equity portfolios and select taxable fixed-income portfolios. Regarding the SEI Systematic Core Strategies (the Strategies), there is no assurance the goals of the Strategies discussed will be met nor that risk can be managed successfully. The Strategies are subject to tracking error risk or the risk that the performance of a portfolio designed to track an index may vary substantially from the performance of the benchmark index it tracks as a result of cash flows, portfolio expenses, imperfect correlation between the portfolios and benchmark's investments and other factors. This risk is magnified when sampling a benchmark index as the strategy may not track the return of its benchmark index as well as it would have if the strategy purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index.
