Index returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs, or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results This material represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific point in time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, or a guarantee of future results. This information should not be relied upon by the reader as research or investment advice and is intended for educational purposes only. There are risks involved with investing, including loss of principal. There is no assurance that the objectives of any strategy or fund will be achieved or will be successful. No investment strategy, including diversification or risk management, can protect against market risk or loss. International: 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. Emerging markets: Involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Bonds and bond funds: Are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value as interest rates rise. High-yield bonds: High-yield securities may be more volatile, be subject to greater levels of credit or default risk, and may be less liquid and more difficult to sell at an advantageous time or price to value than higher-rated securities of similar maturity. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities: Can provide investors a hedge against inflation, as the inflation adjustment feature helps preserve the purchasing power of the investment. Because of this inflation adjustment feature, inflation protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed rate bonds. Multi-Asset Funds: Due to their investment strategies, the Funds may buy and sell securities frequently. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund's share price and may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not otherwise be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. There is no guarantee that a fund's 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. Certain Strategies may use tax-management techniques such as minimizing portfolio turnover, selling securities with the least tax impact, opportunistically harvesting losses, and seeking to avoid wash sales. When harvesting losses from the sale of a holding, a Strategy may seek to avoid a wash sale while maintaining exposure to the desired asset class. A Strategy may do so through the purchase of a fund offered by other fund families (Secondary Fund). Upon expiration of the wash sale period, the Secondary Fund will be sold, which may result in a short-term capital gain and the original fund will be repurchased. The Strategies may include exposure to ETFs that are sponsored and managed by SEI now or in the future. SEI will first determine if an offered SEI ETF meets the asset class requirement and, if so, will use the SEI ETF as part of the Strategy. This determination is based on a variety of factors, including the SEI ETF's stated investment strategy and its alignment to the asset class requirements as determined in SEI's discretion. If no such SEI ETF fits the necessary asset class requirement, SEI will instead select from third party ETFs. This may be subject to change. Please refer to SIMC's Form ADV and Wrap Fee Program brochure for additional disclosure regarding allocations to SEI propriety ETFs and associated conflicts of interest. Alternative investments are subject to a complete loss of capital and are only appropriate for parties who can bear that risk and the illiquid nature of such investments. Standard deviation: Statistical measure of historical volatility. A statistical measure of the distance a quantity is likely to lie from its average value. It is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment, to measure the investment's volatility (risk). Standard deviation is synonymous with volatility, in that the greater the standard deviation the more volatile an investment's return will be. A standard deviation of zero would mean an investment has a return rate that never varies. Asset allocation may not protect against market risk. SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC) is the adviser to the SEI Funds, which are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co. (SIDCO). SIMC and SIDCO are wholly owned subsidiaries of SEI Investments Company (SEI). For those SEI Funds which employ the 'manager of managers' structure, SIMC has ultimate responsibility of the investment performance for the Fund due to its responsibility to oversee the sub-advisers and recommend their hiring, termination, and replacement. There is no guarantee the results of the models discussed will be met. Not FDIC Insured · No Bank Guarantee · May Lose Value Your financial advisor is not affiliated with SEI or its subsidiaries. Maximum Drawdown measures a portfolio's peak to trough using monthly returns since inception of the investment strategy. As a portfolio grows it will continually set new highs and this risk metric enables an investor to get an estimate of the largest loss a strategy has experienced over its life. It's backward looking, so like any statistic it can only provide an estimate of what to expect in the future since market dynamics can change. Information provided as examples does not constitute investment recommendations or advice, and are only intended to show the breadth of SEI's capabilities. It is important to consider many factors when determining an appropriate investment vehicle including, but not limited to, age, principal, risk tolerance, goals, and objectives. Volatilities measure the standard deviation of returns over various periods. Annualized volatilities for 1-year period are calculated using daily returns data. Annualized volatilities for 3-, 5-year and SI are calculated using monthly returns data. SI = since first full month after inception. Inception date: 12/31/08. Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee 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. A 1% allocation to cash and cash equivalents is maintained to provide liquidity for operational purposes and does not represent an investment decision.
