It is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEIC”), a publicly traded diversified financial services firm (NASDAQ: SEIC) headquartered in Oaks, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. SIMC and its predecessor entities were originally incorporated in 1969. SIMC is investment advisor to various types of investors, including but not limited to, corporate and union sponsored pension plans, public plans, defined contribution plans (including 401(k) plans), endowments, charitable foundations, hospital organizations, banks, trust departments, registered investment advisors, trusts, corporations, high net worth individuals and retail investors. SIMC also serves as the investment advisor to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), hedge funds, private equity funds, alternative funds, collective investment trusts and offshore investment funds (together, the “Pooled Investment Vehicles”). Additionally, SIMC serves as the sponsor of, and advisor to, managed accounts. SIMC’s total assets under management as of December 31, 2025 were $216,428,500,660, $211,986,837,592 of which it manages on a discretionary basis and $4,441,663,068 on a non-discretionary basis. Independent Advisor Solutions by SEI Independent Advisor Solutions by SEI (“IAS”), a core business unit of SEIC, provides investment management and investment processing platforms to affluent investors through a network of independent registered investment advisors, financial planners, and other investment professionals (“Independent Advisors”) in the United States. In addition to the integrated platform of services, IAS also provides Independent Advisors with access to SIMC’s investment products and managed account program for use with their end clients (each, a “Client” and together, the “Clients”). As further described in this section, Independent Advisors serve as investment advisor to their Clients, act as the sole contact and are responsible for analyzing each of their Client’s current financial situation, return expectations, risk tolerance, time horizon and asset class preference. The Independent Advisor is also responsible for meeting with Clients at least annually to determine any material changes to the Client’s financial circumstances or investment objectives that may affect the manner in which such Client’s assets are invested. SIMC’s affiliate, SEI Private Trust Company (“SPTC”), a limited purpose federal thrift that custodies IAS Client accounts, requires accounts to participate in the SPTC SEI Integrated Cash Program (“Integrated Cash Program”). As described in detail in Item 10, the Integrated Cash Program sweeps Client cash held in accounts at SPTC into deposit accounts eligible for insurance by the FDIC (“FDIC Sweep”) and, in most cases, accounts are required to retain a minimum allocation to the Integrated Cash Program (generally 1% of account value). This program results in financial benefits to SPTC and SIMC. Please see Item 10 and 15 below for more information about SPTC, its custodial services provided to Clients and the Integrated Cash Program. SIMC offers IAS to Stratos Affiliated Registered Investment Advisors Stratos-Affiliated RIAs, as disclosed in Item 10 (“Stratos-Affiliated RIAs”). Such Stratos-Affiliated RIAs, unless otherwise noted, are included in references to Independent Advisors. Please refer to Item 10 for further disclosure of conflicts arising from such Stratos-Affiliated RIAs. The various SIMC services and investment programs offered by Independent Advisors to their Clients through IAS are explained below and in a separate “Wrap Brochure” describing SIMC’s managed account solutions offering, the Independent Advisor Solutions by SEI-Managed Account Solutions Wrap Fee Program Brochure. SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles SEI Mutual Funds SIMC serves as the investment advisor to (i) the SEI mutual funds, which are a family of SEC-registered mutual funds and (ii) SEI interval fund(s), closed-end management investment companies (“SEI Funds”).  Most of the SEI Funds are manager-of-managers funds, which means that SIMC (i) hires one or more sub- advisors to manage all or a portion of the SEI Funds’ assets on a day-to-day basis; (ii) monitors the sub- advisors; (iii) allocates, on a continuous basis, assets of a SEI Fund among the sub-advisors (to the extent a fund has more than one sub-advisor);and (iv) when necessary, replaces sub-advisors. Each sub-advisor makes investment decisions for the assets it manages and continuously reviews, supervises and administers its investment program. SIMC is generally responsible for establishing, monitoring, and administering the investment program of each SEI Fund. With respect to many of the SEI Funds, including, as applicable, in combination with the manager-of-managers structure, SIMC directly manages all or a substantial portion, of the SEI Funds’ assets directly. Please see Item 8 for additional information on the sub- advisor selection process. SEI Exchange Traded Funds SIMC serves as the investment advisor to the SEI exchange traded funds, a registered series of SIMC- managed funds (“SEI ETFs”). As investment advisor, SIMC has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the SEI ETFs. SIMC manages all of the assets of SEI ETFs, or a substantial portion of the assets of SEI ETFs in combination with the manager-of-manager structure discussed in the section above. When managing SEI ETFs’ assets directly SIMC may draw upon the research and expertise of its affiliates with respect to certain portfolio securities. In seeking to achieve the SEI ETFs’ investment objective, SIMC uses teams of portfolio managers, investment strategists and other investment specialists. This team approach brings together many disciplines and leverages SIMC’s extensive resources. SIMC develops various SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals. The SEI Funds and SEI ETFs are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather the program is designed to enable an Independent Advisor to match its Clients with SEI Funds and SEI ETFs that are consistent with the Client’s investment goals and objectives. Additionally, Clients invested in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each SEI Fund and SEI ETFs. The Independent Advisor is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs for its Clients. Fund Models-Based Program IAS offers Independent Advisors the ability to invest Client assets into model portfolios of mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). SIMC currently offers investment models that consist: (i) solely of allocations to SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (“SEI Asset Allocation Model(s)”); and (ii) allocation to third-party branded investment model portfolios of certain families of third-party mutual funds or ETFs managed by well-established fund sponsors working with IAS to promote and distribute the IAS solution (“Independent Funds Model(s)”). In each models-based program Clients of Independent Advisors, in consultation and on the recommendation of their Independent Advisor, are able to purchase funds in a manner intended to follow SIMC-developed model investment portfolios. Under both the SEI Asset Allocation Models and Independent Funds Models programs SIMC provides non- discretionary services to the Independent Advisor through the publication of investment models consisting of allocations to these different funds. Specifically, SIMC: (1) makes available the models, developed and periodically updated by SIMC designed to achieve the model’s stated investment objective or goal based upon SIMC’s capital market assumptions and any other criteria that SIMC, in its sole discretion, determines is relevant; and (2) periodically publishes for consideration by Independent Advisors revisions to a model’s percentage asset allocations among the underlying SEI Funds, SEI ETFs, ETFs or third party mutual funds, or adds, removes, or otherwise changes the individual SEI Funds’, SEI ETFs’, ETFs’ or third party mutual funds’ (or other assets) underlying an existing model. As SIMC is not managing Client accounts invested in the SEI Asset Allocation Models and Independent Funds Models programs. SIMC does not conduct an independent investigation of the Independent Advisor’s Client or the Client’s financial condition. Instead, the Independent Advisor serves as the sole  investment advisor to its Client, responsible for analyzing its Client’s current financial situation, risk tolerance, time horizon, and asset class preference and determining whether a particular model (and its underlying SEI Funds, SEI ETFs or third party funds, as applicable) is suitable for that Client. Based upon the Independent Advisor’s consideration of its Client’s objectives and goals, the Independent Advisor can recommend and the Client can select an SEI Asset Allocation Model or Independent Funds Model. The Independent Advisor can use tools made available by SIMC, including SIMC’s proprietary proposal tool(“SEI Proposal Tool”), to assist the Independent Advisor in developing an appropriate asset allocation strategy for the Client and recommending model portfolios to the Independent Advisor for consideration for use with the Client. The SEI Proposal Tool offers an AI-powered chatbot that enables the Independent Advisor to use natural language to complete the various prompts to work through a proposal. The chatbot generates responses based on SEI’s product library. Any output generated by the SEI Proposal Tool, including through use of the chatbot, must be reviewed for accuracy and completeness by the Independent Advisor prior to being acted upon. Each model seeks to achieve a particular investment goal or to meet particular risk and return characteristics. These models are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific investors, but rather the program is designed to enable an Independent Advisor to match its Clients to investment models that are consistent with the Clients’ investment goals and objectives. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each model. As described in more detail in the specific program descriptions below, how SIMC and its affiliates earn fees when making available the SEI Asset Allocation Models and Independent Funds Models differs. In the SEI Asset Allocation Models program, SIMC and its affiliates earns fees from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, which costs are indirectly borne by Clients invested in these models. As a result, SIMC does not charge Independent Advisors or Clients a direct fee for the use of the SEI Asset Allocation Models.. In the Independent Funds Model Program SIMC and its affiliates (including SPTC) charge direct fees that will be assessed to Clients. The level of total fees incurred by a Client directly and/or through the product level fees between these two programs may differ significantly. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part based on SEI’s relationship with the firm. SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees SIMC manages this conflict through the disclosures we make about the fees we earn. Clients are encouraged to consult with their Independent Advisors before investing in these programs to consider the fee structures and costs the Client will incur directly and indirectly through their investment in these programs. As the Independent Funds Model Program is only available to a limited number of Independent Advisors, most Independent Advisors only have access to SEI Asset Allocation Models. Specific information applicable to each of our models-based programs is discussed below. SEI Asset Allocation Models In this models-based program, Clients of Independent Advisors are able to purchase SEI Funds and SEI ETFs in a manner intended to follow SIMC-developed model investment portfolios. SIMC acts a non- discretionary advisor to Independent Advisors in this program by developing the investment models and providing the models and their underlying asset allocations to Independent Advisors for their consideration, but SIMC does not have an investment advisory relationship with the Independent Advisor’s Clients in this program. Within the SEI Asset Allocation Program, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs or may add or subtract SEI Funds or SEI ETFs from a model. SIMC also may create new models within the Asset Allocation Program. SIMC may allocate to newly registered SEI Funds or SEI ETFs within existing or new models. Such allocations may assist in capitalizing or “seeding” these new funds and in turn assist in their promotion as initial or additional assets may make such funds more attractive to potential investors. A conflict exists in that SIMC and its affiliates receive compensation from the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs for the various services they provide,  and an allocation to an SEI Fund or SEI ETF could increase such compensation. And, as the SEI ETFs are relatively new investment products and SIMC expects to launch additional SEI ETFs from time to time, the inclusion of these funds in a model further benefits SIMC as it allows those ETFs to become commercially viable and more attractive in the market without SIMC having to invest its own capital in those SEI ETFs. Clients should be aware that similar products may offer better performance and/or longer track records than SEI ETFs. Independent Advisors independently determine whether to follow SIMC’s adjusted model for their Clients by instructing (or not instructing) the custodian to allocate the Clients’ assets in accordance with the revised SEI Asset Allocation Model’s parameters and/or by selecting a different model for use with its Clients. As SIMC is the investment advisor to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, and SIMC’s affiliates provide services to the SEI Fund and SEI ETFs for which they receive fees, including distribution, administrative and shareholder services, SIMC has a conflict of interest in recommending the SEI Asset Allocation Models to Independent Advisors. SIMC believes this conflict of interest is managed through the disclosures we make about the program and, importantly, as a result of the fact that the Independent Advisor, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of an SEI Asset Allocation Model with its Clients. In addition, SIMC does not charge the Independent Advisor for the non- discretionary advice it provides through the development, maintenance and publication of the SEI Asset Allocation Models or the tools made available for use by Independent Advisors with their Clients within this program, which fees are assessed in the Independent Funds Model Program. Since a large portion of the assets in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs are comprised of Clients following these Asset Allocation Models (or other asset allocation models for which SIMC either determines or influences the allocation), model reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs. While reallocations are intended to benefit Clients that invest in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs through the SEI Asset Allocation Models, they could in certain cases have a detrimental effect on the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs that are being materially reallocated, including by increasing portfolio turnover (and related transaction costs), disrupting portfolio management strategy, and causing a SEI Fund or SEI ETF to incur taxable gains. Further, Clients following the Asset Allocation Models may experience transaction costs due to the purchase and redemption of SEI Fund or SEI ETF shares, including capital gains. SIMC seeks to manage the impact to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs resulting from reallocations. For temporary defensive or liquidity purposes during unusual economic or market conditions, SIMC may change the allocations of the SEI Asset Allocation Model in a manner that would not ordinarily be consistent with a portfolio’s strategy. SIMC will only do so only if it believes that the risk of loss outweighs the opportunity for capital gains or higher income. During such time, a portfolio may not achieve its investment goal. Independent Funds Model Program The Independent Funds Model Program is closed to new Clients, although it remains available to Clients that currently invest in the program. In this program, Independent Advisors and their Clients desire to use SIMC’s non-discretionary asset allocation advice, as discussed above for the SEI Asset Allocation Models, but implemented through branded investment models allocated to funds of well-known mutual fund/ETF sponsors with established records managing retail assets through traditional pooled investment products (e.g., mutual funds and ETFs). To use this program, Independent Advisors execute a non- discretionary advisory agreement with SIMC in order for SIMC to receive an advisory fee for its services provided to the Independent Advisor. In most cases SIMC expects that Independent Advisors will pass the fees charged by SIMC in this program directly to its Clients invested in an Independent Funds Model and the IAS account opening paperwork allows Clients to authorize SPTC, as custodian to their account, to deduct these fees directly from their SPTC custodial accounts. As set forth in the applicable account application executed by a Client, SPTC will also charge accounts invested in the Independent Funds Models Program a custodial platform fee. This fee is not charged to Independent Advisors or Clients when investing in SEI Funds as part of the SEI Asset Allocation Models as SPTC earns fees from the SEI Funds. SIMC believes the conflict of interest in the differing fee structures between the models-based programs is managed through the disclosures we make about the program  and, importantly, as a result of the fact that the Independent Advisor, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of the Independent Funds Models with its Clients. SIMC does not research the entire market of available mutual funds/ETFs when selecting third party funds for use in this program. Instead, IAS develops strategic business relationships with the sponsors of a limited number of third party mutual fund/ETF families that meet specific business and investment criteria established by SIMC and develops branded investment models promoting the third party’s investment brand. These business criteria include willingness to engage in joint marketing, sales support, event support and other mutually beneficial marketing and sales arrangements with SEI. As a result, SIMC has a conflict of interest when making these funds available because SIMC relies on these firms to help market and support IAS solutions. Another criteria SIMC takes into consideration is whether the mutual fund/ETF families are well established and well known “brands” in the Independent Advisor channel. This reliance on these firms creates a disincentive for SIMC to discontinue the availability of the third party funds they sponsor, even if their funds do not compare favorably to other available funds on objective factors such as performance or cost. Investment criteria SIMC uses to select third party funds varies as will the percent of a model’s allocation to third party funds. In some cases SIMC selects mutual fund/ETF sponsors whose fund line-up spans from a majority of to a full range of asset classes necessary to meet SIMC’s range of the models’ asset allocations. In other cases, the third party fund sponsor has a more limited range of funds that SIMC uses to populate a model, which may be as low as 10% of a model’s total investment allocation. In those cases where the mutual fund/ETF sponsor does not have a mutual fund or ETF meeting SIMC’s requirements for a specific asset class within a model strategy, SIMC will select SEI ETFs or other third party ETFs or mutual funds to complete a Third Party Fund program strategy. SIMC will first determine if an SEI ETF meets the asset class requirement and, if so, will use the SEI ETF as part of the model. This determination is based on the SEI ETF’s stated investment strategy and its alignment with the asset call requirement, as determined in SIMC’s discretion. SEI then selects from third party ETFs and mutual funds to complete the model allocation. In some instances, SIMC may periodically rely on information and models supplied by a third party sponsor as an input into SIMC’s portfolio optimization. Although SIMC may incorporate such inputs, SIMC’s strategy is expected to differ from such third party sponsor models, at times materially, including with respect to security selection, weighting, and performance. SIMC’s ability to offer strategies may be constrained by the type or number of third party sponsor funds. Certain strategies may not be a complete investment program and should be considered only as one part of an investment portfolio. The business and other criteria listed in the preceding paragraph are the primary factors SIMC takes into consideration when selecting any third party fund sponsor for participation in the Independent Funds Model Program. Moreover, there are other business-related criteria that SIMC takes into consideration. In particular, SIMC and its affiliates provide a wide range of financial services to institutional firms, including through the provision of technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn- key pooled product solutions and other financial services unrelated to the IAS offering. The revenue SIMC and its affiliates earn from these relationships often is significant. When selecting mutual fund/ETF sponsors for inclusion in the Independent Funds Model Program, SIMC will take these other SEI relationships into account and, accordingly, IAS may select a mutual fund/ETF sponsor that is a client of SEI for other purposes and we have a conflict of interest when doing so. We mitigate this conflict through the requirement that in all cases the firm meet our above noted criteria at the time of initial inclusion in the program and also on an ongoing basis. In addition, SIMC believes the conflict of interest associated with the business criteria described above is managed through the disclosures we make about the program and, importantly, as a result of the fact that the Independent Advisor has multiple options available when determining how to access SIMC’s asset allocation advice, both through the availability of multiple Independent Funds Model Program models and the programs available outside of the Independent Funds Model Program, and that the Independent Advisors, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of any Independent Funds Model Program model with its Clients.  SIMC has conflicts of interest when the SEI ETFs are used to fulfill an Independent Funds Model Program model’s asset allocation. SIMC is the investment advisor to the SEI ETFs, and earns advisory fees for providing services to them, which revenue SIMC does not earn when selecting third party funds. In addition, SIMC’s affiliates provide services to the SEI ETFs (e.g., administrative, distribution, transfer agency, etc.) and receive fees from the funds for these services. SIMC’s affiliates would not typically receive these custodial, shareholder servicing and administrative fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds. The inclusion of these funds in a model further benefits SIMC as it allows those ETFs to become commercially viable and more attractive in the market without SIMC having to invest its own capital in those SEI ETFs. Clients should be aware that similar products may offer better performance and/or longer track records than SEI ETFs. SIMC believes the conflict of interest associated described above is managed through the disclosures we make about the program and, importantly, as a result of the fact that the Independent Advisor has multiple options available when determining how to access SIMC’s asset allocation advice, and that the Independent Advisors, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of any Independent Funds Model Program model with its Clients. In connection with the allocations to the Integrated Cash Program SIMC does not charge the SIMC fee on amounts allocated to FDIC Sweep. Managed Account Solutions Managed Account Solutions (“MAS”) is a wrap fee program available to Independent Advisors within IAS. SIMC charges a bundled fee that includes advisory, brokerage and custody services. SIMC sponsors and is advisor to MAS, which is offered to Independent Advisors for investment by their Clients. SIMC enters into a tri-party investment management agreement with the Independent Advisor and its Client to provide MAS. In the MAS Program, the Client appoints the Independent Advisor as its investment advisor to assist the Client in selecting an appropriate investment strategy. The Client appoints SIMC to manage the assets in each portfolio in accordance with the strategy recommended by the Independent Advisor and selected by the Client. MAS consists of distinct investment programs administered by SIMC, each program encompassing various investment strategies (each strategy, a “Managed Account Strategy”), available for use by Independent Advisors with their Clients. The two programs currently available under MAS are: (1) our “Individual Manager Strategies” which are individual investment strategies (or model investment portfolios) constructed by third party investment managers selected and overseen by SIMC (“Portfolio Managers”) or, in certain cases, constructed and directly managed by SIMC, covering a broad spectrum of investment styles; and (2) our ”Models-Based Strategies” consisting of investment strategy models managed directly by SIMC comprised of either (i) SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, (ii) third party exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and/or SEI ETFs, or (iii) third party branded investment strategies investing in families of third-party mutual funds or ETFs managed by well-established fund/ETF sponsors working with IAS to promote and distribute our MAS program. Distribution Focused Strategies (“DFS”) is a series of investment strategies designed for Clients in a distribution (e.g., retirement) phase of their investment lifecycle are also included in MAS. A detailed description of MAS, including the services provided, available SIMC Managed Account Strategies and the related fees, can be found in the Wrap Brochure. As specified in the applicable MAS program materials, SIMC constructs and directly manages certain Individual Manager Strategies instead of hiring Portfolio Managers to do so. The strategies SIMC manages directly include various fixed income strategies, index-replication strategies, and factor-based strategies. Generally, these investment management services are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather this program is designed to enable Clients to be matched with a portfolio that is consistent with the Client’s investment goals and objectives. Within MAS SIMC does also offer customized fixed income portfolios, where SIMC, at the Independent Advisor’s instruction and with the Independent Advisor’s review and approval, customizes a fixed income portfolio for a Client based on the information provided to SIMC from the Client’s Independent Advisor. In all cases, a Client may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on the management of its account. SIMC Sub-Advised Program The SIMC Sub-Advised Program (“Sub-Advised Program”) is made available to Independent Advisors who  may allocate their Clients’ assets for investment into this program. SIMC is hired by the Independent Advisor as sub-adviser to the Independent Advisor in order to provide certain non-discretionary and discretionary sub-advisory services to the Independent Advisor in connection with the Independent Advisor’s services provided to its Clients. SIMC makes available to the Independent Advisor the same SIMC Managed Account Strategies under this program as those made available in MAS. However, in this program only the Independent Advisor and SIMC (and not the Independent Advisor’s Client) enter into an agreement (“SIMC Sub-Advisory Program Agreement”) which provides that SIMC’s will provide services solely to the Independent Advisor, including any Affiliated Independent Advisor, through the management of assets allocated to the Sub-Advised Program. Additionally, within the Sub-Advised Program SIMC may, at the request of an Independent Advisor, develop customized investment strategies (each, a “Custom Strategy”) that SIMC will make available for use by the Independent Advisor with its Clients in the same manner that SIMC makes available and manages the MAS strategies under the Sub-Advised Program. Each Custom Strategy is developed by SIMC based on strategy criteria and characteristics requested by the Independent Advisor. At any time SIMC may elect to make a Custom Strategy developed for one Independent Advisor available to other advisors within the Sub-Advised Program and/or make a strategy generally available in the MAS program. The fees for a Custom Strategy will be agreed upon with the Independent Advisor at the time of development, but in all cases will range between 0.10% and 0.30%, such fees may vary for affiliated Independent Advisor. The Sub-Advised Program is designed to enable the Independent Advisor to match its Clients with one or more SIMC Managed Account Strategies and Custom Strategies that are consistent with the Client’s investment goals and objectives (as determined by the Independent Advisor). SIMC does not have an investment advisory relationship with the Independent Advisor’s Clients in the Sub-Advised Program. As established in the Sub-Advised Program Agreement, the Independent Advisor is solely responsible for advisory services provided to Clients, including determining that the SIMC Managed Account Strategies and Custom Strategies selected by the Independent Advisor are suitable for its Clients. Once the Independent Advisor allocates Client assets to one or more SIMC Managed Account Strategies or Custom Strategies, those assets will be invested by SIMC in accordance with the applicable strategies, as updated by SIMC (or the applicable Portfolio Manager) from time to time. The Independent Advisor may select one or more SIMC Managed Account Strategies or Custom Strategies for an account. In many cases, including Distribution-Focused Strategies and most equity-based SIMC Managed Account Strategies and Custom Strategies, SIMC is provided with the Portfolio Manager’s investment strategy model (each a “Model Manager”) and SIMC will generally execute all equity trades using SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”), SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, consistent with the duty to seek best execution. SIMC manages assets allocated to the Sub-Advised Program in the same manner that it manages assets allocated to its MAS program. Accordingly, a portion of the SIMC sub-advisory fees charged to the Independent Advisor covers equity trading costs of Sub-Advised Program asset trades executed through SIDCO (See Items 5 and 12 below for more information on SIMC’s brokerage practices. Additionally, SIMC and certain Portfolio Managers (each, a “Trading Manager”) also execute trades directly through third party broker dealers in certain cases (i.e., for most fixed income strategies). See Item 12 – Brokerage Practices, and the Quarterly Execution Quality Review Report made available to the Independent Advisor and Clients invested in MAS for additional information. The Sub-Advised Program offers a “tax management” feature pursuant to which SIMC, at the direction of the Independent Advisor, appoints or acts as an overlay manager for the equity portion of the Independent Advisor’s Client’s assets invested in the Sub-Advised Program. The various Model Managers whose equity strategies are allocated to Client accounts by the Independent Advisor provide buy/sell lists (i.e., model portfolios) to the overlay manager, who is responsible for executing transactions across the account within certain performance parameters and security weighting variances from the underlying model portfolios, with the goal of increased coordination across the equity portion of the account, increased tax efficiency and minimization of wash sales. In certain cases, at the Independent Advisor’s request, SIMC will apply tax management to Individual Manager Strategies. Neither the overlay manager nor SIMC offers tax advice.; Clients should consult with their Independent Advisor and tax advisors as to the suitability of the tax management feature for their accounts.  The Independent Advisor may also authorize SIMC to provide ad-hoc tax loss harvesting to its Clients’ accounts invested in the Sub-Advised Program by selling certain securities and substituting appropriate securities, generally broad based ETFs, when seeking to achieve the estimated tax benefits. SIMC will engage in tax loss harvesting transactions up to the amount authorized by the Independent Advisor for a Client to the extent the tax savings may be reasonably achieved while still maintaining the selected investment strategy. Ad-hoc tax loss harvesting can cause a variance in the performance of a SIMC Managed Account Strategy or Custom Strategy. The Independent Advisor may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on the management of its Clients’ assets allocated to the Sub-Advised Program. SIMC discloses its investment management fees (“SIMC Fees”) to the Independent Advisor at or prior to the time the SIMC Sub-Advised Program Agreement is signed and the Independent Advisor agrees to the SIMC Fees by executing the agreement. Independent Advisors are responsible for the payment of the SIMC Fees under this program. In most cases, SIMC expects that the Independent Advisor will instruct the Clients’ Custodian to deduct the applicable SIMC Fees payable by the Independent Advisor directly from its Client accounts invested in the Sub-Advised Program and pay such amounts to SIMC. Those instructions also allow for SIMC to seek out cash to deduct the financial intermediary fee across portfolios within an account in order to reduce the number of trades needed to be placed to cover fees and to ensure that fees are deducted in a tax efficient manner. In some cases, SEI Funds and SEI ETFs are included within SIMC Managed Account Strategies and Custom Strategies for which SIMC also serves as an investment manager and SIMC affiliates provide services, including administrative, transfer agency, distribution, and shareholder services. Depending on the specific Managed Account Strategies or Custom Strategies implementation, SIMC either waives its SIMC Fees on those assets or rebates against the SIMC Fee an amount equal to the fee SIMC earns as manager to the selected SEI Funds or SEI ETFs. Participation in the Sub-Advised Program may cost the Independent Advisor (and its Clients) more or less than if the Independent Advisor (or its Clients) paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services. In addition, the fees may be higher or lower than that charged by other comparable programs. Additional information about SIMC’s use of proprietary funds in Managed Account Strategies and Custom Strategies and how SIMC addresses the conflict this presents through its fee waiver and rebating process may be found in the Wrap Brochure. Clients’ assets allocated to SIMC Managed Account Strategies and Custom Strategies in the Sub-Advisory Program are subject to the risk that performance may deviate from the performance of similarly managed accounts (including within MAS) and other proprietary or client accounts over which the Portfolio Manager or SIMC retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). In addition, a Portfolio Manager running a model portfolio may implement that model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to SIMC. In these circumstances, trades may be subject to price movements that result in the Independent Advisor’s Clients’ assets receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the Portfolio Manager for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded. Gateway Manager Program (available to certain Independent Advisors that also participate in the SIMC Sub-Advised Program) Through SIMC’s affiliates, IAS offers certain Independent Advisors that also participate in the Sub-Advised Program access to the “Gateway Manager Program”. Under the Gateway Manager Program, Independent Advisors have access to certain third party investment managers’ (“Gateway Managers”) equity strategies (generally in the form of non-discretionary model portfolios) and fixed income strategies (generally in the form of discretionary separately managed accounts). In the Gateway Manager Program, SIMC’s affiliate, SEI Global Services, Inc. (“SGS”) provides operational support in connection with the Independent Advisors’ use of these Gateway Managers’ strategies with their Clients. Independent Advisors also have access to portfolio construction and rebalancing functionality and tools they may use to allocate Clients’ assets among the Gateway Managers and their strategies and determine the appropriateness of such asset allocations for Clients. Unlike SIMC’s role within MAS, in this program SIMC does not select, oversee or contract with these Gateway Managers and, accordingly, SIMC does not act in a fiduciary capacity in connection with the selection, retention or oversight of the Gateway Managers or their investment strategies. In addition, SIMC’s affiliates who provide access and operational support in connection with this program also do not provide any services  regarding the selection, retention or oversight of the Gateway Managers. The Independent Advisor is solely responsible for the recommendation, selection and ongoing monitoring of Gateway Managers and their investment strategies for Clients, any allocation among them, ensuring that any recommendation or selection it makes is based on its own evaluation of what is in the best interests of each Client and consistent with its fiduciary obligation to each Client, and conducting appropriate initial and on-going due diligence when recommending, selecting and monitoring a Gateway Manager and its investment strategy for any such Client. When an Independent Advisor selects a Gateway Manager equity model portfolio for its Client, in most cases the Gateway Manager will provide its equity model to SIMC (“Gateway Models”) who will generally execute all equity trades using SIDCO, consistent with the duty to seek best execution. SIMC’s role in the Gateway Manager Program is limited to implementing the Gateway Models equity portfolios provided, applying any reasonable restrictions on securities held in the Client’s account and which are invested in a Gateway Model equity strategy, and voting proxies for equity securities held in connection with an equity strategy (see Item 17 for SIMC’s proxy voting process). The Independent Advisor is solely responsible to supervise Client accounts invested in the applicable Gateway Manager model and for determining that the model and its underlying investment components are and remain in the Client’s best interest over time. A portion of the fee SIMC earns for providing these limited services covers equity trading costs of the trades executed through SIDCO (See Items 5 and 12 below for more information on SIMC’s brokerage practices). When an Independent Advisor selects a Gateway Manager implementing its strategy through a discretionary managed account, generally fixed income strategies and certain equity strategies, the Gateway Manager will be solely responsible for executing trades consistent with its duty to seek best execution, applying any reasonable restrictions on securities held in the Client’s account, and voting proxies for securities held in these discretionary managed accounts. Gateway Managers of discretionary managed accounts have full discretion over the selection of brokers for equity trade execution, including in connection with equity strategies the ability to select SIDCO for trading equity securities. To the extent the Gateway Manager selects SIDCO for trade execution, SIDCO will execute those trades in a zero commission account consistent with trades placed in Gateway Models by SIMC (as described in Items 5 and 12 below). SIMC will not play any role (whether investment advisory in nature or otherwise) in connection with fixed income strategies available in the Gateway Manager Program or discretionary managed equity strategies, although SGS does provide the operational support described above in connection with these strategies. As an additional service and for a separate fee, at the Independent Advisor’s instruction, SIMC will provide tax management overlay services (in the same manner as described in the Sub-Advised program services section of this Brochure) for the equity portion of accounts allocated to the Gateway Manager Program by the Independent Advisor. A more detailed description of the roles and responsibilities of SIMC, SIMC’s affiliates and the Independent Advisor are set forth in the agreement each Independent Advisor is required to execute to participate in the Gateway Manager Program and the documentation IAS makes available to Independent Advisors and their Clients about the program. It is important for Clients to be aware that (i) certain Gateway Managers of equity strategies manage accounts outside of the Gateway Program on a discretionary basis and pursuant to investments strategies similar to their respective equity strategies available in the Gateway Manager Program, and (ii) those outside discretionary accounts may trade ahead of the accounts of Clients invested in equity strategies in the Gateway Manager Program. This conflict is managed through the Independent Advisor’s responsibility for determining that it is in the best interests of its Client to invest in a Gateway Manager’s equity strategy notwithstanding this practice and any conflicts of interest created by it. SIMC Fees for Gateway Manager Program services The fee an Independent Advisor is charged when investing Client assets through the Gateway Manager Program is a bundled fee charged by SIMC’s affiliate, SGS, providing access to the Gateway Manager Program, inclusive of the operational, technology and custodial services provided by SIMC’s affiliates and fees paid to the participating Gateway Managers. And, as applicable, a portion of this bundled fee  is paid to SIMC by its affiliate for its equity model implementation and related services described above. Independent Advisors are responsible for the payment of the Gateway Manager program fees. In most cases, SIMC expects that the Independent Advisor will instruct SPTC, the Clients’ Custodian, to deduct the applicable fees payable by the Independent Advisor directly from its Client accounts invested in the program and pay such amounts to SGS. The Gateway Manager Program fees are listed in the agreement the Independent Advisor executes to participate in the program and are also made available to Independent Advisor and their Clients through the various materials IAS makes available about the Gateway Manager Program. The amounts SGS charges and pays to Gateway Managers is subject to negotiation, meaning it can charge and pay Gateway Managers with substantially similar strategies different amounts, which will result in different levels of profitability to SGS based on the Gateway Manager that is selected. Client should be aware that these practices involve material conflicts of interest on the part of SGS, as SGS will benefit economically if the Gateway Managers that are charged relatively more and/or paid relatively less money by SGS are selected by Independent Advisors and their Clients. However, because none of SGS, SIMC or any of their affiliates play any role in selecting or recommending Gateway Managers or their strategies to Clients, they have no ability to influence which Gateway Managers or strategies are used by Clients and their Independent Advisors. In this respect, SGS does not share the details of the economic arrangements it has with the Gateway Managers with any Independent Advisor or Client, only the total fee that the Client will incur as a result of utilizing a particular Gateway Manager or strategy. If an Independent Advisor elects for SIMC to provide tax management overlay services over the equity portion of a Client’s account allocated to the SEI Gateway Manager Program, SIMC will charge the Independent Advisor a separate management fee, which fee we expect the Independent Advisor will generally pass through to its Client, of 0.10% on assets allocated by the Independent Advisor for tax management overlay services. The fees a Client will pay to participate in the Gateway Manager Program are separate and apart from any advisory or other fees the Independent Advisor charges to its Client for its services in connection with the Gateway Manager Program. SIMC and its affiliates will receive direct or indirect compensation from Stratos-Affiliated RIAs regarding such client accounts. Such fee is negotiated between the Independent Advisor and its Client. In addition to the fees charged by SGS and the Independent Advisor, Clients will be subject to the following fees and charges, as applicable: the internal operating expenses and fees of mutual funds, ETFs, or other pooled investment vehicles, such as management fees, service fees, redemption fees and 12b-1 fees; fees related to brokerage and clearing services for account assets invested in fixed income strategies and certain equity strategies, such as brokerage commissions, dealer markups/markdowns, and administrative expenses such as wire transfer fees. Firm Model Portfolio Program (available to certain Independent Advisors that also participate in the SIMC Sub-Advised Program) Independent Advisors participating in the Sub-Advised Program may, with SIMC’s prior approval, elect to participate in the IAS Firm Model Portfolio Program. Under this program, the Independent Advisor develops and manages its own model equity strategies (“Firm Model Portfolios”) that the Independent Advisor, in its sole discretion, may elect to use with the Independent Advisor’s Clients. SIMC does not act in a fiduciary capacity in connection with the selection, retention or oversight of the Independent Advisor in connection with its management of Firm Model Portfolios or the use of a Firm Model Portfolio with Clients. SIMC provides the Independent Advisor with non-discretionary advice in connection with the Independent Advisor’s construction and/or maintenance of Firm Model Portfolios, based on the Independent Advisor’s specific criteria provided to SIMC. SIMC or its affiliates provide additional support services in connection with Independent Advisor’s use of Firm Model Portfolios with Clients, including integration with the SEI Wealth PlatformSM. The Independent Advisor is solely responsible for the recommendation, selection and ongoing monitoring of Firm Model Portfolios used with Clients and ensuring that any recommendation or selection it makes is based on its own evaluation of what is in the best interests of each Client and consistent with its fiduciary obligation to each Client.  Once an Independent Advisor has established a Firm Model Portfolio, the Independent Advisor will appoint SIMC to provide investment overlay services to the Independent Advisor in connection with Firm Model Portfolios assigned by the Independent Advisor to Client accounts. Pursuant to this appointment, the Independent Advisor will provide its Firm Model Portfolio (e.g., buy/sell lists) to SIMC who will execute all equity trades using SIDCO consistent with the duty to seek best execution. SIMC’s role is limited to implementing the Firm Model Portfolio provided, applying any reasonable restrictions on securities held in the Client’s account and which are invested in a Firm Model Portfolio, and voting proxies for equity securities held in connection with an equity strategy (see Item 17 for SIMC’s proxy voting process). At the Independent Advisor’s request, SIMC may also provide tax management overlay services to accounts invested in a Firm Model Portfolio (in the same manner as described above in the Gateway manager Program section of the Sub-Advised program services). A more detailed description of the roles and responsibilities of SIMC are set forth in the agreement each Independent Advisor is required to execute to participate in the Firm Model Portfolio Program and the documentation IAS makes available to Independent Advisors and their Clients about the program. The Independent Advisor is solely responsible to supervise Client accounts invested in a Firm Model Portfolio and for determining that the model and its underlying investment components are and remain in the Client’s best interest over time. A portion of the fee SIMC earns for providing these limited services covers equity trading costs of the trades executed through SIDCO (See Items 5 and 12 below for more information on SIMC’s brokerage practices). SIMC’s fee for its investment overlay services is agreed to with each Independent Advisor. In most cases, SIMC expects that the Independent Advisor will instruct SPTC, the Clients’ custodian, to deduct the applicable fees payable by the Independent Advisor directly from its Clients’ accounts invested in Firm Model Portfolios and pay such amounts to SIMC. The Firm Model Portfolio fees are listed in the agreement the Independent Advisor executes to participate in the program and are also made available to Independent Advisor and their Clients through the various materials IAS makes available about the Firm Model Portfolio Program. The Independent Advisor, in its sole discretion, may elect to use SEI Funds or SEI ETFs within its Firm Mode Portfolios. SIMC earns additional revenue when the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs are so selected, as SIMC is the investment advisor to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs and earns advisory fees for providing services to them, which revenue SIMC does not earn when the Independent Advisor selects third party funds. In addition, SIMC’s affiliates provide services to the funds (e.g., administrative, distribution, transfer agency, etc.) and receive fees from the funds for these services. SIMC’s affiliates would not typically receive these custodial, shareholder servicing and administrative fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds. SIMC believes this conflict of interest is mitigated by the fact the Independent Advisor is solely responsible to select the securities allocated to a Firm Model Portfolio. The fees a Client will pay to SIMC to participate in the Firm Model Portfolio Program are separate and apart from any advisory or other fees the Independent Advisor charges to its Client for its services in connection with the program. Excluding Stratos-Affiliated RIAs, SIMC does not receive any portion of the fee the Independent Advisor charges to its Client for its services. SIMC may negotiate a variety of fee arrangements with Stratos-Affiliated RIAs with respect to its services. Such fee is negotiated between the Independent Advisor and its Client. Strategist Program SIMC offers a “Strategist Program” to Independent Advisors managing client assets held on third party custody platforms. Under the Strategist Program SIMC creates and periodically publishes updates to various asset allocation portfolios or investments consisting of allocations to SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and Exchange Traded Funds and, in some cases, other assets types (“Strategist Models”). In many cases the Strategist Models are the same or similar to models that SIMC makes available under the SEI Asset Allocation Program or MAS Models-Based Strategies. In the Strategist Program the Independent Advisor serves as its Clients’ contact and sole advisor to its Clients, and is responsible for analyzing each of its Client’s current financial situation, return expectations, risk tolerance, time horizon, asset class preference and for recommending an appropriate Sub-Advisory Model. The Independent Advisor is responsible for determining a Client’s initial and ongoing suitability to invest in the appropriate Strategist Model, including the suitability of the particular asset allocation strategy selected for the Client. The Independent Advisor is also responsible for meeting with Clients periodically to determine any material changes to a Client’s financial circumstances or investment objectives that may affect the manner in which such Client’s assets are invested. The Strategist Models are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather designed to enable the  Independent Advisor’s’ Clients to be matched with a Strategist Model that is consistent with a Client’s investment goals and objectives. In the Strategist Program, SIMC will generally provide a third party technology or custodial platform selected by the Independent Advisor with a proposed buy/sell list of recommended Strategist Model allocations and will periodically communicate changes to these Strategist Models that SIMC may also implement in part or whole for its discretionary Client accounts and/or communicate to Independent Advisors using the SEI Asset Allocation or Independent Fund Models Programs. SIMC will implement these buy/sell list recommendations for its discretionary Client accounts prior to submitting its buy/sell list to its non-discretionary Clients and may provide proposed changes to one non-discretionary Client prior to another, but will seek to ensure that Strategist Model changes are distributed to non-discretionary Clients in a fair and equitable manner over time. In these circumstances, trades ultimately placed by an Independent Advisor for its Clients may be subject to price movements particularly with large orders or where securities are thinly traded, that may result in the Independent Advisor’s Clients receiving prices that are less favorable than the prices obtained by SIMC (or SIMC’s other clients) for its proprietary or discretionary accounts. Certain Strategist Models consist solely of allocation to SEI Funds and/or SEI ETFs. As SIMC is the investment advisor to each of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs and SIMC’s affiliates provide other services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (e.g., distributor, fund administrator, shareholder services, etc.), SIMC and its affiliates earn fees for providing services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs when an Independent Advisor invests its Clients into SEI Funds and SEI ETFs through Strategist Models. In order to address the conflict of interest this presents, SIMC does not generally charge the Independent Advisor or third party platform hosting the Strategist Models a fee on strategies consisting of allocations to SEI Funds, but instead is compensated through the fees earned within the SEI Funds (which fees are charged to Client accounts investing in such shares). However, to the extent SEI ETFs are allocated to Strategist Models, SIMC will generally charge the Independent Advisor or the third party hosting platform a fee and SIMC will earn both this compensation and indirectly amounts earned on fees from the SEI ETFs. SIMC believes our conflicts of interest in using SEI Funds and SEI ETFs is mitigated because the Independent Advisor, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting use of a Strategist Model allocated to SEI Funds with Clients. Use of Affiliates For each of the programs and products described in this Brochure, SIMC hires one or more of its affiliate(s) to perform various services, including transition management services when transitioning Client assets to SIMC from its previous service providers, sub-advisory services, administrative services, custodial services (which custodial services includes the required use of the Integrated Cash Program), brokerage and/or other services and such affiliates receive compensation for providing such services. Please refer to Item 10 for additional information.  Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Below are the fees for SIMC’s investment programs offered to Independent Advisors for use with their Clients. In certain cases SIMC will apply discounts to the contracted sub-advisory fee rates (listed below). These discounts may be substantial and vary materially based on a variety of factors, including SEI’s business relationship and individual arrangements with the Client’s Independent Advisor. These discounts are typically at SIMC’s discretion and may be terminated at any time, after which time contracted fee rates will apply. Independent Advisors charge Clients additional fees for their investment advisory services, and SIMC does not establish, review or approve those fees. As discussed in this Brochure, many of the programs available to Independent Advisors for use with Clients include allocation to SEI Funds. Clients will be invested in the SEI Fund share class for which they are eligible, as set forth in the SEI Funds’ prospectuses, generally F Class shares. Independent Advisors that direct substantial Client assets in the aggregate to SEI Fund shares are eligible to invest Client assets into other SEI Fund share classes, generally with lower fees than F Class. Fund Models-Based Program - SEI Funds and SEI Asset Allocation Program Each SEI Fund and SEI ETF pays an advisory fee to SIMC that is based on a percentage of the portfolio's average daily net assets, as described in the applicable fund’s prospectus. From such amount, SIMC pays a portion of the advisory fee to the sub-advisor(s) to the SEI Funds, if any. SIMC’s fund advisory fee varies, but it typically ranges from 0.03% - 1.50% of the portfolio's average daily net assets for its advisory services. Affiliates of SIMC provide administrative, distribution to all of the SEI Funds and ETFs and transfer agency services to most of the SEI Funds, as noted above and as described in the SEI Funds’ registration statements and are paid a fee from the SEI Funds for such services. However, in connection with the SEI ETFs, SIMC pays all fund expenses, except for the fees paid to SIMC for advisory services, interest expenses, dividend and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions (including brokerage commissions), acquired fund fees and expenses, distribution fees or expenses. These fees and expenses are paid by the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs but ultimately are borne by each shareholder of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. If a Client invests in a model available through the SEI Asset Allocation Program, the Client will be charged the expense ratios of each of the applicable SEI funds included in the applicable model. Clients may have the option to purchase certain SIMC investment products, including the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, that SIMC recommends through other brokers or agents not affiliated with SIMC. Clients also pay custody fees to SPTC on their Asset Allocation Program assets custodied at SPTC (which is generally a requirement of the program), although SPTC may waive its fee on models invested in SEI Funds or SEI ETFs. SPTC’s custody fees range from 0.01% - 0.15%. These fees will vary depending on the account balance and trade activity in the account. Clients can refer to their account application for specific information on SPTC custody fees. Funds Models-Based Program – Independent Funds Model Program The advisory fee charged by SIMC to the Independent Advisor using the Independent Funds Model program, which, in almost all cases, will be paid by the Client pursuant to instructions provided to SPTC in the account application, range from 0.08% - 0.30%. SPTC will also charge accounts invested in the Independent Funds Model program a custodial platform fee on the assets held in a model that ranges from 0.01% - 0.15%, including on assets invested in SEI ETFs. SPTC may, in its sole discretion, discount or waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part based on SEI’s relationship with your advisor. SPTC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. In addition, Clients will incur the expense ratios of the underlying mutual funds, ETFs and SEI ETFs allocated to a model and held in a Client’s accounts as noted in each fund’s prospectus. Clients should discuss the Independent Funds Models Program with their Independent Advisor to understand the fees and expenses the Client will incur when investing in this program. Fee in Similar Programs available in MAS  Through MAS, which is described generally in this Brochure (and in detailed in SIMC’s separate “Wrap Brochure”), SIMC directly manages portfolios that are similar to the model portfolios SIMC makes available on a non-discretionary basis within our Independent Funds ModelBased Program. A Client’s participation in the Fund Models-Based Program may cost the Client more or less than if the Client invested through MAS (which has a bundled fee), and the services provided by SIMC within MAS differs from that of our role within the Fund Models-Based Program based on our level of responsibility as the MAS sponsor. The difference in fees SIMC and its affiliates earn in MAS versus our Funds-Based Models Program could cause SIMC to recommend one program over the other. SIMC believes that this conflicts of interest of interest is mitigated through our disclosure about each investment program, including the different fees and services. SIMC also believes that our conflict of interest is further mitigated by the Independent Advisor’s fiduciary responsibilities to its Clients, who has sole discretion to recommend a Fund Models-Based Program investment model to its Client. The degree of such mitigation may be affected if the Independent Advisor does not have access to SIMC’s MAS program. Clients are encouraged to speak with their Independent Advisors regarding whether they have access to MAS. In addition, the fees SIMC charges for its models-based program may be higher or lower than that charged by other firms offering comparable programs. Strategist Models Program Since these models may invest in SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, SIMC and its affiliates will earn fund- level fees on assets as noted above and as set forth in the applicable Funds’ prospectuses, including for providing distribution, administrative and shareholder services, and, accordingly, SIMC has a conflict of interest in recommending the use of Strategist Models comprised of SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. Clients may also be charged custody or other fees by their third party custodian. Managed Account Solutions For a description of the fees applicable to Clients invested through the MAS Program, please refer to the Wrap Brochure. Sub-Advised Program Fees In the Sub-Advised Program the Independent Advisor pays a fee to SIMC for (i) its advisory services, (ii) the equity trade execution provided by SIMC’s affiliate SIDCO (see Item 12 for additional information), and (iii) the advisory services of Portfolio Managers. An Independent Advisor may instruct the Custodian to deduct this fee directly from its Clients’ accounts and pay such amounts to SIMC on the Independent Advisor’s behalf. SIMC’s fees are a percentage of the daily market value of the Independent Advisor’s Client’ assets allocated to the SIMC Managed Account Strategies. SIMC’s Fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and net of any income, withholding or other taxes. SIMC may discount the fees, which may be higher or lower than those charged by other investment advisors for similar services. When SEI Funds are used in SIMC Managed Account Strategies, SIMC waives its MAS Program fee on those SEI Fund assets, but Clients will pay the SEI Funds product fees for the funds in each model as specified in the funds’ prospectus. And, when SIMC selects an SEI ETF within a Managed Account Strategy, SIMC will charge Clients the MAS Program fee on those ETF assets, but will rebate against the MAS Program fee an amount equal to the fee SIMC earns as manager to the selected SEI ETFs. Please see our Wrap Brochure for more information. Sub-Advised Program fees do not cover certain costs, charges or compensation associated with transactions effected in the program, including but not limited to, broker-dealer spreads, certain broker- dealer mark-ups or mark-downs on principal transactions; auction fees; fees charged by exchanges on a per transaction basis; certain odd-lot differentials; transfer taxes; electronic fund and wire transfer fees; fees on NASDAQ transactions; certain costs associated with trading in foreign securities; and any other charges mandated by law. In addition, Sub-Advised Program fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) on transactions SIMC or a Portfolio Manager places with broker-dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates or agents (third-party broker-dealers), or mark-ups or markdowns by third-party broker-dealers. SIMC and Portfolio Managers execute trades for fixed income securities through third-party broker-dealers and the spread, mark-up or markdown on such a transaction is borne by the Independent Advisor’s Clients assets invested in the  Sub-Advised Program. SIMC makes available to Independent Advisors a quarterly report listing trading activity conducted with third party broker dealers along with certain cost information associated therewith. To the extent that transactions are executed through a third-party broker-dealer, any associated execution costs are incurred by the Client separate from the Sub-Advised Program fees. The value of Sub-Advised Program assets invested in shares of unaffiliated investment companies (e.g., exchange traded funds, closed-end or mutual fund companies, and unit investment trusts) are included in calculating the SIMC fee to the extent permitted by law. These shares are also subject to investment advisory, administration, transfer agency, distribution, shareholder service and other fund-level expenses (some of which are paid to SIMC or its affiliates or to Portfolio Managers) that are paid by the fund and, indirectly, by the Independent Advisors’ Clients’ assets invested in such funds as a fund shareholder. The SIMC Fees will not be reduced by any of these unaffiliated fund-level fees, unless required by law. Please refer to Item 12 for additional information on SIDCO. Additionally, for the DFS Strategies Portfolios, SIMC charges Independent Advisors a maximum DFS Program Fee of 0.20% for providing administrative and recordkeeping services and other services to Independent Advisors’ Client accounts invested in DFS. The fee is calculated at the account level and paid to SIMC quarterly in arrears. Independent Advisors may instruct the Custodian to deduct this fee directly from Clients’ accounts and pay such amounts to SIMC. Gateway Manager Program Fees Independent Advisor pays a bundled fee charged by SIMC’s affiliate, SGS, to gain access to the Gateway Manager Program that includes operational, technology and custodial services provided by SIMC’s affiliates and fees paid to the participating Gateway Managers. A portion of this bundled fee is paid to SIMC by its affiliate for its equity model implementation and related services. If the Independent Advisor selects tax management services for a Client account, SIMC will charge a separate management fee of 0.10% for the tax management overlay services. Firm Model Portfolio Fees Independent Advisors pay SIMC a basis point fee for the investment overlay services provided to Client Accounts. SIMC’s fee is negotiated with each participating Independent Advisor but will not exceed 0.30% of the average daily net assets invested in the program.  Sub-Advised Program Fees Investment Styles or Models: PM Model Description Category 1 All Cap, Equity Income, Global Equity, International Developed Markets, International Equity, Large Cap, Managed Volatility, Mid Cap, Sustainable Investing Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million SIMC Fee* 0.80% 0.75% 0.70% 0.65% 0.60% 0.55% PM Model Description Category 2 International Emerging Markets, Small Cap, Small-Mid Cap, REIT Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million SIMC Fee* 1.00% 0.95% 0.90% 0.85% 0.80% 0.75% PM Model Description Category 3 Alternative-Income, Alternative-Tax Advantage Income, Core Aggregate, Core Plus Aggregate, Corporate Bond, Government/Corporate Bond, Government Securities, Municipal Fixed Income, Multi-Sector Fixed Income, Preferred Securities SIMC Fee* 0.60% 0.55% 0.51% 0.49% 0.45% 0.40% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million PM Model Description Breakpoints SIMC Fee* Category 4 SEI Dynamic ETF Strategies, SEI Dynamic ETF Income Strategies, SEI Stability ETF Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed ETF Strategies, SEI U.S. Focused Tax-Managed ETF Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed ETF Income Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed Stability ETF Strategies First $250,000 Next $250,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million 0.40% 0.35% 0.30% 0.25% 0.20% 0.17% 0.15%  PM Model Description SIMC Fee* Category 5 SEI Fixed Income Strategies 0.30% 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million PM Model Description SIMC Fee* Category 6 SEI Factor Based Strategies Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million 0.45% 0.30% 0.27% 0.22% 0.20% 0.18% PM Model Description SIMC Fee* 0.30% Category 7 SEI ETF Strategies, SEI ETF Current Income Strategies, SEI U.S. Focused ETF Strategies 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million PM Model Description Category 8 Custom HNW Portfolios Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $2 million Next $2 million Next $5 million Next $5 million Next $10 million Over $25 million SIMC Fee* 1.05% 1.00% 0.95% 0.90% 0.85% 0.75% 0.65% 0.55%  PM Model Description Category 9 Third Party Fund Models, SEI Multi-Asset Income Strategies, SEI Sustainable ETF Strategies Breakpoints First $250,000 Next $250,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $1 million Next $2 million Over $5 million SIMC Fee* 0.40% 0.30% 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% PM Model Description SIMC Fee* 0.35% Category 10 SEI Systematic Core 1 0.25% 0.22% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million Tax Overlay SIMC Fee* Tax Overlay 0.10% in addition to the SIMC Fee described above Factor Tilts 0.05% in addition to the SIMC Fee described above 1 Factor Tilts applicable to fees identified in Category 10 above only *SIMC Fee breakpoint levels are determined based on an Independent Advisor’s Client’s total account assets invested in Sub-Advised Models categorized within the same strategy description groupings/fee rate schedules listed above. By way of example only, if an account is invested in two SIMC Sub-Advised Strategies, the first being a model classified as a Small Cap Growth strategy and a second model classified as a Small-Mid Cap Value strategy, the account assets invested in those two SIMC Sub-Advised Strategies will be combined for purposes of determining the applicable breakpoint levels for purposes of calculating the fees payable to SIMC. Breakpoints are not applied across the strategy description groupings/fee rate schedules. By way of example only, if an account is invested in a SIMC Sub-Advised Strategy classified as a Small Cap Growth strategy as well as in second SIMC Sub-Advised Strategy classified as an Alternative Income strategy, those account assets will not be combined for purposes of determining the applicable breakpoint level for calculating SIMC Fees, but assets allocated to each such SIMC Sub-Advised Strategy will be considered individually in determining fees payable to SIMC. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part based on SIMC's relationship with the Independent Advisor. SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. **Fee breakpoint levels are determined based on the Independent Advisor’s Client’s total account assets invested in the Custom HNW Portfolios listed above.

SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. Fees for SEI Alternative Funds In general, the share classes of the SEI Alternative Funds available to Clients working with Global Institutions in an investment management capacity do not pay SIMC a separate fee, as those fees are negotiated on a Client- by-Client basis in the investment management agreement executed between SIMC and the Client. To the extent an SEI Alternative Fund pays SIMC a fee, such fees are disclosed in the private placement memorandum. As part of the ongoing product and launch strategy, additional share classes will be developed and exist within certain SEI Alternative Funds that pay SIMC or a SIMC affiliate a fee for management services provided to the fund and will are sold through SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”) (the “Broker- sold Share Classes”). SIDCO is paid placement agent fees by the applicable SEI Alternative Fund, SIMC, SIMC’s affiliates or directly by the investor. Broker-sold Share Classes are generally not available to Clients accessing SEI Alternative Funds through an investment management agreement. SIMC does not provide investment management services to investors purchasing Broker-sold Share Classes. Due to differing fee structures and services provided, Client accessing SEI Alternative Funds through an investment management agreement with SIMC may incur total fees that are higher or lower than the fees incurred by investors purchasing Broker-sold Share Classes of SEI Alternative Funds. These arrangements create conflicts of interest, as SIMC and its affiliates have an incentive to offer or include share classes that result in additional compensation. Additional Compensation IAS sales personnel’s compensation includes a base salary plus variable sales compensation (which may include equity awards) earned based on achieving annual sales goals. These objectives are primarily calculated using net cash flow attributable to new and existing Independent Advisors during the calendar year. Net cash flowbased compensation may be positively or negatively impacted by asset inflows and outflows, including the retention of existing client assets. The amount of sales compensation IAS sales personnel can earn based on net cash flow varies by investment product and/or solution type. IAS sales personnel generally will earn more when SIMC and its affiliates realize a higher net revenue rate, meaning that in most cases our sales personnel will earn greater compensation on net cash flow invested in SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and MAS, although certain MAS investments are compensated at lower rates than others. Net cash flow attributable to assets invested into third party products and “Platform Only” assets held in custody at SPTC are compensated at lower rates than assets held in SEI Funds,  SEI ETFs and MAS. IAS sales personnel working with Independent Advisors will also receive event compensation and sales awards based on SIMC’s receipt of new assets through Client referrals to other products, services and solutions. Examples include referrals to SEI’s Institutional business, SEI’s Private Wealth Management business, SEI’s Sphere® cybersecurity business, or Securities-Based Lending (“SBL”) accounts. This compensation model creates a conflict of interest because IAS sales personnel are incented to recommend investment products and services to Independent Advisors based on the sales compensation they can receive rather than on the Independent Advisor’s Client’s needs. However, SIMC believe this conflict is mitigated by the fact that IAS employees do not recommend specific investment products to Clients, the fact that all programs are optional that an Advisor and/or Client may elect to use in their sole discretion, as well as other disclosures made specifically and explicitly regarding each program. Please see Item 14 for additional information concerning services and benefits SIMC and its affiliates provide to Independent Advisors. The IAS sales personnel who recommended the SBL to the Independent Advisor will receive a fixed one-time payment of $75 dollars for each new SBL account opened in the quarter and an additional $250 for every fifth SBLC opened in the same quarter as a result of the efforts of any single IAS sales personnel. The receipt of this compensation is a conflict of interest for the IAS sales personnel recommending the SBL Program. However, SIMC believe this conflict is mitigated as a result of the disclosures made about the Program, the nature of the payment (not based on success of an application) and the nominal amount of the fee paid as well as the fact that the program is an optional service that an Advisor and Client may elect to use in their sole discretion.  Item 6 – Performance Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management SIMC does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a Client) to Clients of IAS. Please refer to Item 11 for more information on side-by-side management.  Item 7 – Types of Clients Please refer to Item 4 for a description of the types of Clients to whom SIMC and IAS generally provide investment advice and services. SIMC does not require a minimum account size for the services described in this Brochure, however, third-party sub-advisors and products available through our programs may require minimum investments, which vary. Please refer to the Wrap Brochure for additional detail on account size requirements.  Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss SIMC’s Overall Investment Philosophy SIMC’s philosophy is based on four key components: asset allocation, portfolio design, implementation, and risk management. SIMC’s philosophy and process offers clients personalization, diversification, coordination and management and represents a strategy geared toward achieving long-term investment goals in various financial climates. Asset Allocation. SIMC’s approach to asset allocation takes clients’ goals into account, along with more traditional inputs such as asset class risk and return expectations. We believe that acknowledging and accounting for common behavioral biases while simultaneously harnessing the power of efficient portfolio construction can help investors maximize the chances of achieving their financial objectives. We also believe that constructing portfolios according to investors’ major financial goals (such as retirement, education or lifestyle) and aligned with the risk tolerance associated with each of those objectives provides a greater understanding of how the goals and investments align. This should allow for a higher level of comfort with the overall investment strategy—thereby increasing the odds that investors will remain invested in the financial markets and focused on achieving their goals rather than making portfolio changes as a reaction to short-term market volatility. We believe that maintaining consistent exposure to the markets over time is the surest way to earn attractive returns, and that doing so with a goals- based approach should help investors achieve their financial goals. In constructing portfolios that correspond with a particular objective, we seek to deliver the maximum expected return available given the goal’s risk tolerance. SIMC constructs multiple model portfolios to address a wide variety of client goals and dedicates considerable resources to evolving our investment offerings to help keep pace with an ever-changing market. Portfolio Design. In terms of portfolio design, SIMC generally attempts to identify alpha source(s), or opportunities for returns in excess of the benchmark, across equity, fixed-income and alternative- investment portfolios. SIMC looks for potential sources of excess return that have demonstrated staying power over the long term across multiple markets in a given geographic region. Alpha sources are classified into broad categories; categorizing them in this manner allows us to create portfolios that are not simply diversified between asset classes (e.g., equity and fixed-income strategies), but also diversified across the underlying drivers of alpha. Implementation. When building portfolios, SIMC seeks to identify, analyze, select, and monitor investment strategies with characteristics that can be expected to outperform the portfolio’s benchmark in the future— through both external investment managers and internally managed portfolios. SIMC may use a multi-manager implementation, which means that SIMC hires sub-advisors (third- party and affiliated) to select individual securities. As a multi-manager, SIMC aims to identify, classify and validate manager skill when choosing sub-advisors. Differentiating manager skill from market- generated returns is one of SIMC’s primary objectives, as it seeks to identify sub-advisors that it believes can deliver superior results over time. SIMC develops forward-looking expectations regarding how a manager will execute a given investment mandate, environments in which the strategy should outperform and environments in which the strategy might underperform. In certain circumstances, SIMC may default to internal managers due to similar risk and return characteristics and similarly positioned results that provide improved pricing. While SEI applies its internal controls and review processes over its internally managed strategies, these controls differ from the processes SIMC uses to oversee third party managers. Due to these differences, SEI will not normally downgrade or replace a recommended SEI-managed strategy as it would with a third party manager, since SEI would address concerns with its managed strategies through its internal processes. SIMC selects sub-advisors based on SIMC's manager research process. SIMC uses proprietary databases and  software, supplemented by data from various third parties, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of sub-advisors. The qualitative analysis focuses on a manager's investment philosophy, process, personnel, portfolio construction and performance. Quantitative analysis identifies the sources of a manager's return relative to a benchmark. SIMC typically uses performance attribution models from providers such as Axioma, BlackRock and others in this process. SIMC typically appoints several sub- advisors within a stated asset class. For instance, SIMC will generally have more than one sub-advisor assigned to the large-cap growth asset class. After identifying the investment strategy, factors, and investment managers, SIMC implements a portfolio construction process that seeks to build the optimal portfolio to achieve the stated investment objectives. Strategically, it needs to ensure that the portfolio is sufficiently exposed to targeted factors and an appropriate level of risk (in absolute or benchmark-relative terms, depending on the objective), while remaining suitably diversified. SIMC makes adjustments to the portfolio as needed in order to maintain the balance between sources of risk and return. Tactically, it also adjusts the portfolio throughout the market cycle—leaning more heavily into factors that are expected to outperform in the years ahead and downplaying those expected to underperform. Risk Management. SIMC relies on a risk management group to focus on common risks across and within asset classes. Daily monitoring of assigned portfolio tolerances and deviations result in an active risk mitigation program. SIMC employs a multi-asset risk-management system to provide a consistent view of risk across asset classes—while preserving a distinct separation between risk oversight and portfolio management in order to preserve objectivity. The Investment Risk Management team is responsible for determining whether the risks of SEI’s investment strategies are consistent with their mandates. It reports directly to SEI’s Chief Risk Officer, which helps maintain impartiality and allows for direct access and support from senior management. Governance. In an effort to remain unbiased, SIMC’s governance structure is independent of portfolio management. It includes various oversight committees, which are each chaired by the head of Investment Risk Management. Manager Research Services SIMC offers various manager research services both within SIMC’s MAS program and outside of such program as a stand-alone service. We discuss these services below. 1. Research Fundamental to SIMC’s Investment Management Services (Within SIMC’s MAS program). As a pioneer in the manager-of managers investment approach, a fundamental component of SIMC’s core investment services is researching the available universe of third-party sub-advisor strategies and hiring only those sub-advisors meeting SIMC’s criteria for specific asset classes as sub-advisors within SIMC’s various managed account types, including as sub-advisors to the SEI Funds and foreign pooled funds, as well as making these manager strategies available in SIMC’s sponsored MAS program (both U.S. and global). For the MAS program, SIMC conducts research on the universe of available sub-advisor strategies in order to select and retain sub- advisors SIMC believes are appropriate (or terminate if inappropriate) for the MAS program when SIMC is acting in a fiduciary capacity. And, on occasion SIMC may provide our manager research analysis to certain of our clients investing in this program when requested as part of the investment management services provided. 2. Stand-Alone Research (Outside of SIMC’s MAS program). As an outgrowth of SIMC’s competency in vetting sub-advisor strategies (as noted above), SIMC provides a service in which institutional clients (e.g., banks, large financial service providers, etc.) hire  SIMC to conduct research on third-party investment manager strategies as requested by the institutional client. When providing “Stand-Alone Research Services,” SIMC is not hired to act as a discretionary manager to the client, but rather to conduct investment research on any third-party investment manager strategy as directed by the client and in accordance with the research agreement outlining the services provided. Generally, when providing Stand-Alone Research Services: a. The levels of research SIMC conducts on a manager and the manager’s investment strategy will vary based on the contracted level of services, but generally involves either a quantitative and/or qualitative review of the manager and its associated strategy, with written documentation commensurate with the level of service providing insights and, in all cases, summarizing SIMC’s point of view on the manager strategy. Service levels generally differ as to the extent (or depth) of the research SIMC will conduct initially and on-going on the manager strategies selected for research by a client as set forth in the applicable research agreement. b. On occasion, as part of the Stand-Alone Research Services, a client may request SIMC to provide research on a manager investment strategy that is currently used by SIMC within one or more of SIMC’s managed investment programs where SIMC has hired the manager as a sub-advisor (e.g., the manager is a sub-advisor to an SEI Fund or available in MAS) (each, a “SIMC Contracted Strategy”). While the research output provided to the client about a SIMC Contracted Strategy may be the same as the output provided on a third- party manager strategy under the Stand-Alone Research Services, SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies because of its inclusion in SIMC’s MAS program (or as sub-advisor to an SEI Fund) and a result of SIMC’s familiarity with such SIMC Contracted Strategies. This research includes in depth initial and ongoing reviews of the manager’s investment strategy and methodologies, investment personnel, business structure and compliance program. Accordingly, SIMC generally charges Stand- Alone Research Service clients a different fee (generally under a basis point fee schedule) when providing research on SIMC Contracted Strategies. As a result of the pricing model, such fees may be more (or less in some cases) than what SIMC charges clients for research on third-party manager strategies, regardless of the level of research output requested. This differentiated fee schedule is intended to reflect the additional initial and on-going research and due diligence conducted on SIMC Contracted Strategies, including services not generally provided in connection with the Stand-Alone Research Services. If our view of a SIMC Contracted Strategy changes (i.e., downgraded), this change may be reflected in our investment programs (e.g., manager termination/changes) prior to the time we notify research clients of the change in SIMC’s view of the strategy. c. The level of research we conduct on third-party managers depends on client contracted service levels. As a result, if clients with different service levels request research on the same manager investment strategy, clients may receive different levels of analysis output, such as a more detailed manager reports versus shorter analysis summaries. However, in all cases research  output includes SIMC’s point of view of the strategy and changes by SIMC in this regard are communicated to all research clients at the same time. d. As part of the Stand-Alone Research Services a client may request SIMC to recommend investment strategies for specified asset classes when the client is adding an additional asset class to its investment program or the client is replacing a current manager’s investment strategy (each, a “Recommended Strategy”). In many cases a Recommend Strategy may be available through several delivery methods, such as through separately managed accounts or through pooled vehicles, such as mutual funds sponsored or managed by the applicable investment manager. While SIMC does not normally consider an investment strategy’s various delivery methods as part of the Research Services, if a client has informed SIMC that it prefers a pooled fund implementation, SIMC will limit its research universe to investment strategies available through a fund implementation. And, SIMC will also provide limited research on the available pooled vehicles. In some cases SIMC may not recommend an investment strategy that it would have otherwise recommended as a result of this product-level review, and will instead recommend a different investment manger’s strategy available through a fund implementation. e. When recommending investment strategies as part of the Stand-Alone Research Services, to the extent an investment strategy meeting the client’s requested asset class/investment style criteria is available, SIMC will first recommend a SIMC Contracted Strategy since SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies. If a Contracted Strategy does not meet the client’s requested criteria, SIMC will then recommend a third party investment strategy based on SIMC’s research of available investment strategies. In certain situations that vary based on how the customer chooses to implement a recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC will earn compensation that it would not earn by recommending an investment strategy not available within SIMC’s current investment programs. For instance, if the customer uses MAS or an SEI Fund to access the recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC, and it some cases, SIMC’s affiliates, would earn fees in addition to the Stand-Alone Research Service fees. Any additional compensation SIMC (or its affiliates) would earn as a result of any such recommendation is disclosed to the client at the time of the recommendation and any use of such recommend investment strategy remains solely with the client. 3. Affiliates Model Platform Services. SIMC’s affiliates provide a technology and operational service platform to deliver to these institutional customers’ manager strategy model data for manager strategies selected by such customers. While these investment models are selected by client independently, and not by SIMC, in many cases SIMC may have provided research on the investment strategies selected by the client under a research contract. In certain cases, SIMC and its affiliate may jointly contract with an institutional client to provide both Stand Alone Research and model delivery services. To the extent that a model platform client selects a SIMC Contracted Strategy for model, SIMC’s affiliate providing model delivery services may agree to  reduce or waive its model delivery platform service fee otherwise payable, as SIMC is already receiving model delivery information in connection with its own managed investment programs and, as noted above, generally charges clients more for research on SIMC manager strategies. This fee waiver may create an incentive for SIMC’s client to select a SIMC Contracted Strategy over a non-SIMC Contracted Strategy as a result of the lower model platform delivery fee. SIMC informs clients, which are typically sophisticated financial intermediaries, of this fee structure when contracting with the client for model delivery services. 4. SIMC’s Affiliates Service Sub-Advisors. SIMC’s affiliates provide technology, operational and administrative services to a wide variety of financial service intermediaries, including sub- advisors that may be subject to research ratings by SIMC. While this business relationship could cause a potential conflict of interest by SIMC when rating a manager strategy, to mitigate any conflicts, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEIC program and/or strategy offering. 5. SEI Access Marketplace Select List (the “Select List”). The SEI Access Marketplace is a digital platform developed by SEI Access Platform, LLC (the “Access Platform”), an affiliate of SIMC, to provide access to alternative investments for financial professionals. The SEI Access Marketplace includes subscription processing and educational content. SIMC has been engaged by the Access Platform, through its affiliate SIDCO, to perform certain research services (i.e., the Select List) for the Access Platform. The Select List is a subset of the alternative investment offerings available through the SEI Access Marketplace that have gone through an in-depth due diligence review conducted by, and that have meet certain criteria developed by, SIMC (the “Select List Funds”). In connection with the Select List, SIMC also produces a proprietary due diligence report (the “Select List Due Diligence Report”) for each such Select List Funds which is made available to the financial professionals accessing the SEI Access Marketplace. SIMC’s client under this arrangement is the Access Platform. The Select List, along with the Select List Due Diligence Reports, are made available on the SEI Access Marketplace for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice, a recommendation or an endorsement of the Select List Funds. SIMC may provide recommendations outside of the Select List when making individualized investment recommendations to its advisory clients. Implementation Through Investment Products. The foregoing discusses SIMC’s investment philosophy in designing diversified investment portfolios for SIMC’s clients. In most cases, implementation of a client’s investment portfolio is accomplished through investing in a range of investment products, which may include mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, closed-end funds, including interval funds, private equity funds, collective investment trusts, or managed accounts. In order to provide clients with sufficient diversification and flexibility, SIMC manages products across a very wide range of investment strategies. These would include, to varying degrees, large and small capitalization U.S. equities, foreign developed markets equities, foreign emerging markets equity, real estate securities, U.S. investment grade fixed income securities, U.S. high yield (below investment grade) fixed income securities, foreign developed market fixed income securities, emerging markets debt, U.S. and foreign government securities, currencies, structured or asset-backed fixed income securities (including mortgage-backed), municipal bonds and other types of asset classes. SIMC also manages Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) investments and Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLO”) investments within certain investment products. CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an  underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. SIMC may also seek to achieve a product’s investment objectives by investing in derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards, options, swaps or other types of derivative instruments. Additionally, SIMC may also seek to achieve an investment product’s objective by investing some or all of its assets in affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, including money market funds. Within a mutual fund product, SIMC may also seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in a wholly owned subsidiary of the mutual fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain of SIMC’s product strategies may also attempt to utilize tax-management techniques to manage the impact of taxes. Further, SIMC may invest SIMC’s alternative funds and interval funds in third-party hedge funds or private equity funds that engage in a wide variety of investment techniques and strategies that carry varying degrees of risks. This may include long-short equity strategies, equity market neutral, merger arbitrage, credit hedging, distressed debt, sovereign debt, real estate, private equity investments, derivatives, currencies or other types of investments. While SIMC’s investment strategies are normally implemented through pooled investment products, certain clients’ assets are invested directly in the target investments through a managed account or other means. The strategies that SIMC implements in such accounts is currently more limited than the breadth of strategies contained in SIMC’s funds, and generally covers U.S. large and small capitalization equity securities, international and emerging market ADRs, REITs, and U.S. fixed income securities, including government securities and municipal bonds. SIMC may also implement strategies involving derivative securities directly within a client’s accounts. Investment Product Strategies Since SIMC implements such a broad range of strategies within its investment products, it would not be practical to set forth in detail each strategy that SIMC has developed for use across its products. The disclosure in this Brochure is not intended to supplant any product-specific disclosure documents. Clients should refer to the prospectus or other offering materials that it receives in conjunction with investing in a SIMC investment product for a detailed discussion of the strategy and risks associated with such product. Moreover, this Form ADV disclosure addresses strategies designed and implemented by SIMC and does not address strategies that are implemented by third parties (e.g., unaffiliated investment advisors, banks, institutions or other intermediaries) through the use of SIMC products. A strategy’s exposure to the foregoing asset classes, including the degree of exposure, is subject to change at any time due to evolving investment philosophies and market conditions. The risks associated with such strategies are also therefore subject to change at any time. Material Risks All strategies implemented by SIMC involve a risk of loss that clients should understand, accept and be prepared to bear. Given the very wide range of investments in which a client’s assets may be invested, either directly by investing in individual securities and/or through one or more pooled investment vehicles or funds, there is similarly a very wide range of risks to which a client’s assets may be exposed. This Brochure does not include every potential risk associated with an investment strategy, or all of the risks applicable to a particular advisory account. Rather, it is a general description of the nature and risks of the strategies and securities and other financial instruments in which advisory accounts may invest. The particular risks to which a specific client might be exposed will depend on the specific investment strategies  incorporated into that client’s portfolio. As such, for a detailed description of the material risks of investing in a particular product, the client should, on or prior to investing, also refer to such product’s prospectus or other offering materials. Set forth below are certain material risks to which a client might be exposed in connection with SIMC’s implementation of a strategy for client accounts: Absolute Return – A portfolio that seeks to achieve an absolute return with reduced correlation to stock and bond markets may not achieve positive returns over short or long term periods. Investment strategies that have historically been non-correlated or have demonstrated low correlations to one another or to stock and bond markets may become correlated at certain times and, as a result, may cease to function as anticipated over either short or long term periods. Artificial Intelligence Technology—The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of certain artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning models and generative artificial intelligence (collectively “AI”), may adversely impact markets, the overall performance of a Fund’s investments, or the services provided to a Fund. AI technologies are highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data and complex algorithms, and it is possible that the information provided through use of AI technologies could be insufficient, incomplete, inaccurate or biased, leading to adverse effects for a Fund, including, potentially, operational errors and investment losses. AI technologies and their current and potential future applications, and the regulatory frameworks within which they operate, continue to rapidly evolve, and it is impossible to predict the full extent of future applications or regulations and the associated risks to a Fund. To the extent a Fund invests in companies that are involved in various aspects of AI, the Fund will be affected by the risks of those types of companies, including changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, and changes in government regulation. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. Companies that are extensively involved in AI also may rely heavily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies’ technology. Further, because of the innovative nature of the AI market, outpaced advancement by one company or increasing market share by one company could result in rapid and substantial declines in the value of competing companies. In addition, market reaction to the potential impact of AI could result in excess demand for access to AI-related investments, thereby resulting in accelerated growth in the market value of such companies, which may then be subject to sharp resets in the wake of news or other information that tempers expectations of AI or of particular AI-related companies, thus potentially resulting in periods of high volatility in the price of such securities, which could negatively affect the Funds’ performance. Asset Allocation Risk – The risk that an investment advisor’s decisions regarding a portfolio’s allocation to asset classes or underlying funds will not anticipate market trends successfully. Asset-Backed Securities Risk – Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the portfolio may acquire. Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk – Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to  compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as “high yield bonds,” but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return. These risks may be increased in foreign and emerging markets. Call Risk — Issuers of callable bonds may call (redeem) securities with higher coupons or interest rates before their maturity dates. A portfolio may be forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the portfolio’s income. Bonds may be called due to falling interest rates or non-economic circumstances. Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) Risk – CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. CDOs and CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CDO and CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CDOs and CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CDO or CLO, respectively, in which the portfolio invests. CDOs and CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk, which are described below. For example, a liquidity crisis in the global credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and high-yield debt securities and limited liquidity for such instruments. When a portfolio invests in CDOs or CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CDO’s or CLO’s expenses. The impact of expenses is especially relevant when a portfolio invests in the lowest tranche (the “equity tranche”) of a CDO or CLO. At the equity tranche level, expenses of a CDO or CLO may reduce distributions available to the portfolio before impacting distributions available to investors above the equity tranche and thereby disproportionately impact the portfolio’s investment in such CDO or CLO. Commercial Paper Risk — Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured short-term promissory notes issued by corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. Commercial paper is usually sold on a discount basis and has a maturity at the time of issuance generally not exceeding 270 days. The value of commercial paper may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities. The value of commercial paper will tend to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk – Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stock or other securities that may be converted into or exercised for a prescribed amount of common stock at a specified time and price. The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value typically declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline, and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature. Convertible securities may also be rated below investment grade (junk bonds) or may not be rated and are subject to credit risk and prepayment risk. Preferred stocks are nonvoting equity securities that pay a stated fixed or variable rate dividend. Due to their fixed income features, preferred stocks provide higher income potential than issuers’ common stocks, but are typically more sensitive to interest rate changes than an underlying common stock. Preferred stocks are also subject to equity market risk. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities. Preferred stock may also be subject to prepayment risk. Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk – Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as to perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers. Credit Risk – The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation.  Currency Risk – As a result of investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies a portfolio will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the portfolio would be adversely affected. To the extent that a portfolio takes active or passive positions in securities denominated in foreign currencies it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. Current Market Conditions Risk — A particular investment, or the market value of a portfolio’s investments in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. Unexpected changes in interest rates could lead to significant market volatility or reduce liquidity in certain sectors of the market. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad may adversely impact the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could negatively impact a portfolio’s investments and operations. In particular, the imposition of tariffs on foreign countries has led to retaliatory tariffs by certain foreign countries and could lead to retaliatory tariffs imposed by additional foreign countries, as well as increased and prolonged market volatility, and sector-specific downturns in industries reliant on international trade. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. If any geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets and individual securities may be adversely affected, and the value of a portfolio’s assets may decline. Additional examples of events that have led to fluctuations in markets include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments and businesses, elevated inflation levels and problems in the banking sector. Additionally, advancements in technologies such as AI may also adversely impact markets, disrupt existing industries and sectors and dislocate opportunities in the labor force, which could negatively affect the overall performance of a portfolio. Depositary Receipts Risk – Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. Derivatives Risk – A portfolio’s use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market risk are described below. Many over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. A portfolio’s use of forward contracts and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of these risks could cause a portfolio to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the portfolio’s initial investment. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. The portfolio’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by investors. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and implemented regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear. Duration Risk – Longer-term securities in which a portfolio may invest tend to be more volatile than  shorter term securities. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration. Environment, Social and Governance Investment Criteria Risk – If a portfolio is subject to certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities, or may sell certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the application of portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively or negatively, depending on whether these issuers, industries, sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor. An adviser or vendor can vary materially from other ESG advisers and vendors with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios or screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a result, an adviser’s or vendor’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG advisers or vendors with respect to the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria is dependent on data and is subject to the risk that such data reported by issuers or received from third party sources may be subjective, or may be objective in principal but not verified or reliable. Equity Market Risk – The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Equity market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole. Equity markets may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk (including leveraged ETFs) – The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities or other instruments the ETF is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Leveraged ETFs contain all of the risks that non-leveraged ETFs present. Additionally, to the extent the portfolio invests in ETFs that achieve leveraged exposure to their underlying indexes through the use of derivative instruments, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to leverage risk, described below. Leveraged Inverse ETFs seek to provide investment results that match a negative multiple of the performance of an underlying index. To the extent that the portfolio invests in Leveraged Inverse ETFs, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to the risk that the performance of such ETF will fall as the performance of that ETF’s benchmark rises. Leveraged and Leveraged Inverse ETFs often “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. These investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose a portfolio to significant losses. When a portfolio invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF’s expenses. See also, “Exchange-Traded Products Risk”, below. Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) Risk — The risks of owning interests of an ETP, such as an ETF, ETN or exchange-traded commodity pool, generally reflect the same risks as owning the underlying securities or other instruments that the ETP is designed to track. The shares of certain ETPs may trade at a premium or discount to their intrinsic value (i.e., the market value may differ from the net asset value of an ETP’s shares). For example, supply and demand for shares of an ETF or market disruptions may cause the market price of the ETF to deviate from the value of the ETF’s investments, which may be emphasized in less liquid markets. The value of an ETN may also differ from the valuation of its reference market or  instrument due to changes in the issuer’s credit rating. By investing in an ETP, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, the portfolio indirectly bears the proportionate share of any fees and expenses of the ETP. Because certain ETPs may have a significant portion of their assets exposed directly or indirectly to commodities or commodity-linked securities, developments affecting commodities may have a disproportionate impact on such ETPs and may subject the ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Extension Risk – The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security’s value. Fixed Income Market Risk —The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. Markets for fixed income securities may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long- term. In response to these events, a portfolio’s value may fluctuate. Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk – The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries. Investments in emerging markets are subject to the added risk that information in emerging market investments may be unreliable or outdated due to differences in regulatory, accounting or auditing and financial record keeping standards, or because less information about emerging market investments is publicly available. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with emerging market investments may be different than investments in developed markets. A lack of reliable information, rights and remedies increase the risks of investing in emerging markets in comparison to more developed markets. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the portfolio to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the portfolio. Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — The risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting  governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. Income Risk – The possibility that a portfolio’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. Inflation Protected Securities Risk – The value of inflation protected securities, including TIPS, generally will fluctuate in response to changes in “real” interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal (or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In addition, interest payments on inflation- indexed securities will generally vary up or down along with the rate of inflation. Interest Rate Risk – The risk that a change in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities in which the portfolio invests. Generally, the value of a portfolio’s fixed income securities will vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by a portfolio. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Interval Fund Risk – See also, “Investment Company Risk” below. Unlike many closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, an interval fund typically does not intend to list its shares for trading on any securities exchange and does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares in the foreseeable future. Therefore, an investment in an interval fund, unlike an investment in a typical closed-end fund, is not a liquid investment. An interval fund is designed primarily for long- term investors and not as a trading vehicle. An interval fund will, subject to applicable law, conduct quarterly repurchase offers of a portion of its outstanding shares at net asset value. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their Shares repurchased. Even though an interval fund will make quarterly repurchase offers, you should consider the Shares to be illiquid. Investment Company Risk – When a portfolio invests in an investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company’s expenses. In addition, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, a portfolio may be subject to additional or different risks than if the portfolio had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Closed-end investment companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value. As a result, a closed-end fund’s share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund. See also, “Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) Risk” and “Interval Fund Risk” above. Investment Style Risk – The risk that the portfolio’s strategy may underperform other segments of the markets or the markets as a whole. Large Capitalization Risk – The risk that larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies. Leverage Risk – A portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in the portfolio’s total investment exposure substantially exceeding the value of its securities and the portfolio’s investment returns depending substantially on the performance of securities that the portfolio may not directly own. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the portfolio's value and may also cause the  portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The portfolio’s use of leverage may result in a heightened risk of investment loss. Liquidity Risk – The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the portfolio would like. The portfolio may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on portfolio management or performance. Master Limited Partnership (MLP) Risk – Investments in units of master limited partnerships involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of master limited partnerships have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment in units of master limited partnerships. In addition, conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders, subordinated unit holders and the general partner of a master limited partnership, including a conflict arising as a result of incentive distribution payments. The benefit the portfolio derives from investment in MLP units is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships and not as corporations for federal income tax purposes. If an MLP were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, there would be reduction in the after- tax return to the portfolio of distributions from the MLP, likely causing a reduction in the value of the portfolio. MLP entities are typically focused in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors of the economy could have an adverse impact on the portfolio. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Money Market Funds – With respect to an investment in money market funds, an investment in the money market fund is not a bank deposit nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund may seek to maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, you may lose money by investing in the money market fund. A money market fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. This could have a significant adverse effect on the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, and, in extreme circumstances, could cause the fund liquidate completely. Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk – Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage- backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the portfolio’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the portfolio’s expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancing and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the portfolio. Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk – Mortgage dollar rolls, or “covered rolls,” are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities (usually mortgage-backed securities) and simultaneously contracts to repurchase, typically in 30 or 60 days, substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, a portfolio forgoes principal and interest paid on such securities. A portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “drop”), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. At the end of the roll commitment period, a portfolio may or may not take delivery of the  securities it has contracted to purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash settlement and initially may involve only a firm commitment agreement by the portfolio to buy a security. A “covered roll” is a specific type of mortgage dollar roll for which there is an offsetting cash position or cash equivalent securities position that matures on or before the forward settlement date of the mortgage dollar roll transaction. As used herein, the term “mortgage dollar roll” refers to mortgage dollar rolls that are not “covered rolls.” If the broker-dealer to whom a portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Other risks involved in entering into mortgage dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the security may change adversely over the term of the mortgage dollar roll and that the security a portfolio is required to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the portfolio originally held. Municipal Securities Risk – Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer-term securities usually respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer’s current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by a portfolio. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of a portfolio’s holdings. As a result, a portfolio will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a portfolio that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be underwritten or guaranteed by a relatively small number of financial services firms, so changes in the municipal securities market that affect those firms may decrease the availability of municipal instruments in the market, thereby making it difficult to identify and obtain appropriate investments for the portfolio. Also, there may be economic or political changes that impact the ability of issuers of municipal securities to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by the portfolio. Any changes in the financial condition of municipal issuers also may adversely affect the value of the portfolio’s securities. Non-Diversified Risk – To the extent that a portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. The portfolio may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic, political, or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. Opportunity Risk – The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other investments. Options — An option is a contract between two parties for the purchase and sale of a financial instrument for a specified price at any time during the option period. Unlike a futures contract, an option grants the purchaser, in exchange for a premium payment, a right (not an obligation) to buy or sell a financial instrument. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. The seller of an uncovered call (buy) option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the call option without ever getting the opportunity to execute the option. The seller (writer) of a covered put (sell) option (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) will suffer a loss if the increase in the market price of the underlying security is greater than the premium received from the buyer of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium  in the put option without ever getting the opportunity to exercise the option. An option’s time value (i.e., the component of the option’s value that exceeds the in-the-money amount) tends to diminish over time. Even though an option may be in-the-money to the buyer at various times prior to its expiration date, the buyer’s ability to realize the value of an option depends on when and how the option may be exercised. For example, the terms of a transaction may provide for the option to be exercised automatically if it is in-the-money on the expiration date. Conversely, the terms may require timely delivery of a notice of exercise, and exercise may be subject to other conditions (such as the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, such as knock-in, knock-out or other barrier events) and timing requirements, including the “style” of the option. Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) though a portfolio will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security. Overlay Risk – To the extent that a client’s portfolio is implemented through an overlay manager, it is subject to the risk that its performance may deviate from the performance of a sub-advisor’s model or the performance of other proprietary or client accounts over which the sub-advisor retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). The overlay manager’s variation from the sub-advisor’s model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including under performance. The overlay manager will vary from a model portfolio to, among other reasons, implement tax management strategies, as applicable, and security restrictions. The overlay manager is restricted from purchasing certain securities due to the issuer’s affiliation with SEI or the overlay manager, or due to the overlay manager’s compliance with laws, regulations, and policies that apply to the business activities of its affiliates. In addition, a sub- advisor may implement its model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to the overlay manager. In these circumstances, trades placed by the overlay manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the client’s portfolio receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the sub-advisor for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded. Portfolio Turnover Risk – To the extent that a portfolio buys and sells securities frequently, such activity may result in higher transaction costs and taxes subject to ordinary income tax rates as opposed to more favorable capital gains rates, which may affect the portfolio’s performance. To the extent that a portfolio invests in an underlying fund the portfolio will have no control over the turnover of the underlying fund. Prepayment Risk – The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring a portfolio to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates. Private Placements Risk – Investment in privately placed securities, including interests in private equity and hedge funds, may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the portfolio, the carrying value of such securities or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. Quantitative Investing – A quantitative investment style generally involves the use of computers to implement a systematic or rules-based approach to selecting investments based on specific measurable factors. Due to the significant role technology plays in such strategies, they carry the risk of unintended or unrecognized issues or flaws in the design, coding, implementation or maintenance of the computer programs or technology used in the development and implementation of the quantitative strategy. These issues or flaws, which can be difficult to identify, may result in the implementation of a portfolio that is different from that which was intended, and could negatively impact investment returns. Such risks  should be viewed as an inherent element of investing in an investment strategy that relies heavily upon quantitative models and computerization. Utility interruptions or other key systems outages also can impair the performance of quantitative investment strategies. Reallocation Risk – SIMC constructs and maintains global asset allocation strategies for certain clients, and the SEI funds are designed in part to implement those Strategies. Within the Strategies, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the mutual funds to ensure that the appropriate mix of assets is in place. SIMC also may create new Strategies that reflect significant changes in allocation among the mutual funds. Because a significant portion of the assets in the mutual funds may be attributable to investors in Strategies controlled or influenced by SIMC, this reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the mutual funds. Although reallocations are intended to benefit investors that invest in the mutual funds through the Strategies, they could, in certain cases, have a detrimental effect on the mutual funds. Such detrimental effects could include: transaction costs, capital gains and other expenses resulting from an increase in portfolio turnover; and disruptions to the portfolio management strategy, such as foregone investment opportunities or the inopportune sale of securities to facilitate redemptions. Real Estate Industry Risk – Securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may be subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. If a portfolio’s investments are concentrated in issuers conducting business in the real estate industry, the portfolio may be is subject to risks associated with legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting that industry. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) – REITs are trusts that invest primarily in commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. Investments in REITs are subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate which is discussed above. Some REITs may have limited diversification and may be subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of properties. Repurchase Agreement Risk — Although a portfolio’s repurchase agreement transactions will be fully collateralized at all times, they generally create leverage and involve some counterparty risk to the portfolio whereby a defaulting counterparty could delay or prevent the portfolio’s recovery of collateral. Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk- Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities to financial institutions, such as banks and broker-dealers, and agrees to repurchase them at a mutually agreed-upon date and price that is higher than the original sale price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve risks. Reverse repurchase agreements are a form of leverage, and the use of reverse repurchase agreements by a portfolio may increase volatility. Reverse repurchase agreements are also subject to the risk that the other party to the reverse repurchase agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a portfolio may decline below the price at which it is obligated to repurchase the securities. In addition, when a portfolio invests the proceeds it receives in a reverse repurchase transaction, there is a risk that those investments may decline in value. In this circumstance, the portfolio could be required to sell other investments in order to meet its obligations to repurchase the securities. Risks of Cyber-Attacks-As with any entity that conducts business through electronic means in the modern marketplace, a portfolio, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized monitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential information, unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the portfolio and its service providers use to service the portfolio’s operations, ransomware, operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the portfolio and its service providers, or various other forms of cyber security breaches. Cyber-attacks affecting a portfolio may adversely impact the portfolio potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses or the inability of to transact  business. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of transactions, cause the release of private portfolio information or confidential information, impede trading, subject the portfolio to regulatory fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. The portfolio may also incur additional costs for cyber security risk management purposes designed to mitigate or prevent the risk of cyber-attacks. Such costs may be ongoing because threats of cyber-attacks are constantly evolving as cyber attackers become more sophisticated and their techniques become more complex. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which a portfolio may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the portfolio’s investment in such companies to lose value. There can be no assurance that the portfolio, its service providers, or the issuers of the securities in which it invests will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future. Sampling Risk – With respect to investments in index funds or a portfolio designed to track the performance of an index, a fund or portfolio may not fully replicate a benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund or portfolio may not track the return of its benchmark index as well as it would have if the fund or portfolio purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index. Short Sales— When a portfolio engages in short sales, the proceeds from the sales may be used to purchase long positions in additional equity securities believed will outperform the market or its peers. This strategy may effectively result in the portfolio having a leveraged investment portfolio, which results in greater potential for loss. Leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on a portfolio’s share price and make it’s returns more volatile. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the securities. The use of leverage may also cause a portfolio to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. Small and Medium Capitalization Risk – Small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over the counter (OTC). OTC stocks may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than exchange-listed stocks and may have more price volatility than that of exchange-listed stocks. Structured Securities Risk – A portfolio may invest a portion of assets in entities organized and operated solely for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics of sovereign debt obligations of emerging market issuers. This type of restructuring involves the deposit with, or purchase by, an entity, such as a corporation or trust, of specified instruments (such as commercial bank loans or Brady Bonds) and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of securities (“Structured Securities”) backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying instruments. The cash flow on the underlying instruments may be apportioned among the newly issued Structured Securities to create securities with different investment characteristics, such as varying maturities, payment priorities and interest rate provisions, and the extent of the payments made with respect to Structured Securities is dependent on the extent of the cash flow on the underlying instruments. Because Structured Securities of the type in which the portfolio anticipates it will invest typically involve no credit enhancement, the credit risk will generally be equivalent to that of the underlying instruments. A portfolio is permitted to invest in a class of Structured Securities that is either subordinated or unsubordinated to the right of payment of another class. Subordinated Structured Securities typically have higher yields and present greater risks than unsubordinated Structured Securities. Structured Securities are typically sold in private placement transactions, and there currently is no active trading market for Structured Securities. Certain issuers of such Structured Securities may be deemed to be “investment companies” as defined in the 1940 Act. Taxation Risk – 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. Unless otherwise disclosed, tax-management techniques are limited to, and take into consideration only, the  securities held within the individual client account managed by SIMC. The impact of such tax management techniques and strategies may be reduced or eliminated as a result of securities and trading activities in other accounts owned by client, including other client accounts managed by SIMC. 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. A portfolio that is managed to reduce tax consequences to Clients will likely still earn taxable income and gains from time to time, including income subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. In certain instances, when harvesting losses from the sale of an ETF or mutual fund (Original Fund), SIMC may seek to avoid a wash sale while maintaining exposure to the desired asset class. SIMC may do so through the purchase of another ETF or mutual fund (Secondary Fund). Certain strategies may require SIMC to sell the Secondary Fund upon the expiration of the wash-sale period and return to the Original Fund, which may result in a short-term gain. Such gain may exceed harvested losses. Certain strategies may also require SIMC to redeem from an Original Fund when a suitable fund becomes available from a specified fund family, which may result in short- or long-term gains. Certain portfolio assets may be subject to Section 351 tax treatment. The availability of Section 351 treatment depends on the satisfaction of specific legal and factual requirements, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question or successfully challenge the qualification of any such contribution, whether at the time of contribution or in a subsequent examination. If a contribution of securities is ultimately determined not to qualify for Section 351 treatment, the contribution would be treated as a taxable transaction, and the contributing shareholder would recognize gain or loss on the contributed securities at the time of the contribution. If such a determination is made after the contribution, the shareholder may have previously misreported the tax consequences of the transaction and could be required to amend prior tax returns. In addition, any subsequent disposition of fund shares by the contributing shareholder could be affected by an incorrect initial tax basis, resulting in additional tax liability, interest, or penalties. In order to pay tax-exempt interest, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the portfolio to shareholders to be taxable. Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of tax-exempt securities to fall. The federal income tax treatment on payments with respect to certain derivative contracts is unclear. Consequently, a portfolio may receive payments that are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. To the extent a portfolio invests in ETFs, mutual funds or other pooled products, you should review the applicable prospectus or offering document for additional tax disclosure, including relevant risks. Neither SIMC nor its affiliates provide tax advice. To-Be-Announced (TBA) Transactions — A portfolio may be exposed to TBA transactions risk through its investments in derivatives. In TBA transactions, the selling counterparty does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the purchasing counterparty agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the portfolio’s other assets. In addition, the selling counterparty may not deliver the security as promised. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the portfolio to potential loss and could affect the portfolio’s returns. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to the settlement date. Tracking Error Risk – 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 portfolio's investments and the components of the index and other factors. Underlying Funds Risk – With respect to portfolios that invest in underlying funds, additional investment risk exists because the value of such investments is based primarily on the performance of the underlying funds. Specifically with respect to alternative funds, the entity’s sponsors will make investment and management decisions. Therefore, an underlying fund’s returns are dependent on the investment decisions made by its management and the portfolio will not participate in the management or control the investment decisions of the alternative fund. Further, the returns on a portfolio may be negatively impacted by liquidity restrictions imposed by the governing documents of an alternative fund such as  “lock-up” periods, gates, redemption fees and management’s ability to suspend redemptions (in certain cases). Such lock-up periods, gates or suspensions may restrict the portfolio’s ability to exit from an alternative fund in accordance with the intended business plan and prevent the portfolio from liquidating its position upon favorable terms. All of these factors may limit the portfolio’s return under certain circumstances. U.S. Government Securities Risk – Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are still subject to the credit risk of the U.S. Government and are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so. Warrants Risk - Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Warrants may be more speculative than other types of investments. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date.  Item 9 – Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of SIMC or the integrity of SIMC’s management. SIMC has no information applicable to this Item.  Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations SIMC, which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SEIC, hires affiliates and third parties to perform services for SIMC and its clients. And, as part of the IAS service offering SIMC’s affiliates also provide services to Independent Advisors and their Clients and are compensated for those services. Some of these relationships create conflicts of interest. These relationships are described below. Hiring of Managers and Sub-Advisors As a manager-of-managers, SIMC hires sub-advisors to provide day-to-day securities selection for many of its investment products. SIMC has hired an affiliated advisor, LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), to serve as sub-advisor to some of SIMC’s investment products. Specifically, SIMC’s parent company, SEIC, maintains a minority ownership interest (approximately 39% as of December 31, 2025) in LSV, which is a sub-advisor in the Funds and MASSIMC is incentivized to hire and recommend LSV as a sub-advisor to increase its earnings with respect to its ownership interest. To mitigate this conflict of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it is affiliated or unaffiliated, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable program and/or strategy offering. Additionally, to the extent LSV is managing SEI Fund assets, it is subject to the same Board of Trustees approval process as non-affiliated sub-advisors and the affiliation is disclosed in the SEI Fund prospectuses. SIMC also hires sub-advisors for its investment products who may also be investment advisors/sub-advisors to other investment products offered by SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Therefore, SIMC has an incentive to recommend a firm for sub-advisory services for its investment products because they are also providing services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. To address this conflict, SIMC conducts the same due diligence on all sub-advisors regardless of whether they provide other services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Additionally, some of the sub-advisors that SIMC selects for its Funds and MAS, and some of the managers reviewed for our Manager Research Services described in Item 8, are also customers of SEIC for other services and products (e.g., technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn-key pooled product solutions) for which SIMC’s affiliates are compensated, which could influence SIMC’s decisions when recommending or retaining sub-advisors. To mitigate these conflicts of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEI program and/or strategy offering. Also, potential conflicts identified are raised to the Board of Trustees of the SEI Funds or to SIMC’s compliance team prior to the sub-advisor being hired by SIMC. Investment Products SIMC not only provides investment management and advisory services to individuals and institutions, it also serves as the investment advisor to its investment products, including the SEI Funds (including subsidiaries of such Funds), SEI ETFs, SEI Interval Fund, SEI Alternative Funds, and collective investment funds. Additionally, SIMC is the sponsor to, and the advisor of managed accounts, including MAS. SIMC may invest its Clients into these products. Therefore, the Client may pay SIMC investment advisory fees which are agreed to in the Client’s investment advisory agreement and pay SIMC investment advisory fees through the underlying investment products. However, SIMC generally, and to the extent required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and other applicable law, will offset or credit any advisory fees earned by SIMC with respect to a client’s investment in an underlying investment product against that Client’s account level fee. SEI Proprietary Funds Other affiliates of SIMC provide various services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (including subsidiaries of  such funds), for which they receive compensation. Specifically, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SGFS”) serves as administrator and SIDCO serves as the distributor of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFsand the SEI Alternative Income Fund. SEI Institutional Transfer Agent, Inc. (“SITA”) serves as transfer agent for most of the SEI Funds. SIDCO and SPTC also provide shareholder services with respect to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. SEI Global Services Inc. and SIDCO serve as the administrator and placement agent, respectively, for the SEI Structured Credit Fund. SIMC, SGFS, SIDCO and SPTC receive fees from the SEI Funds determined as a percentage of the SEI Fund's total assets and, SIMC receives fees from the SEI ETFs determined as a percentage of the SEI Fund's total assets and out of these assets pays the fees of the funds’ other service providers, including to SIMC affiliates. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a client invests in the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs, SIMC’s affiliates benefit from the investment in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for a Client, if applicable, such investments will be allocated in a manner which SIMC determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances in respect to all of its other clients. Some SEI Funds are “funds-of-funds,” meaning that an SEI Fund will invest in underlying funds, which in most cases will be other SEI Funds. When an SEI Fund invests in underlying SEI Funds, SIMC is advisor to both the fund-of-funds and the underlying SEI Funds and is paid an advisory fee by both Funds. As a result, SIMC could select those underlying SEI Funds that pay higher advisory fees to SIMC. To mitigate this risk, the SEI Funds are overseen by the SEI Funds’ Board of Trustees, which ensures that SIMC does not factor in the level of fees in its decision in the allocation of underlying SEI Funds in the fund-of- funds. SEI Alternative Funds Affiliates of SIMC (SEI Funds, Inc. and SEI Investment Strategies, LLC) serve as the general partner or director to several of the SEI Alternative Funds. SEI Global Services, Inc. or SEI Investments Global (Cayman) Limited also serves as administrator and transfer agent to certain SEI Alternative Funds. Collective Trust Funds SEI Trust Company (”STC”), a Pennsylvania chartered trust company, serves as trustee and investment manager to various collective trust funds in which SIMC invests certain client’s assets (to the extent they are eligible). SIMC also acts as an investment advisor to STC, and SITA as transfer agent, with respect to the various collective trust funds offered by STC. Non-U.S. Investors SIMC serves as investment advisor to proprietary Irish-regulated UCITS Funds (and other alternative funds), which are sold to non-U.S. investors. SIMC also serves as sub-advisor to several proprietary Canadian-registered mutual funds to which SIMC’s affiliates serve as advisor. Affiliated Registered Investment Advisers – Stratos In December 2025, SEIC completed the first stage of its strategic investment in Stratos Wealth Holdings ("Stratos"), where SEIC owns 57.5% of the holding company that holds the equity of Stratos Wealth Advisors, LLC, Stratos Wealth Partners, Ltd. and their subsidiaries (collectively, the " Stratos-Affiliated RIAs"). As a result of this investment, SIMC and the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs are under common ownership. SIMC and Stratos-Affiliated RIAs each operate as a separate registered investment adviser with its own management, compliance program, and fiduciary obligations. Stratos-Affiliated RIAs may utilize SIMC managed strategies, models, programs and/or products available through IAS. In these arrangements, SIMC provides investment management or related services, while the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs remain responsible for the client relationship, including determining suitability and providing investment advice, as applicable. SIMC may negotiate fees with Stratos-Affiliated RIAs based on AUM, client fees, or such other arrangements as agreed to between SIMC and Stratos-Affiliated RIAs. Such fee arrangements will be disclosed as required by law or regulation. This common ownership structure creates conflicts of interest, including incentives to recommend strategies, models, programs and/or products that are affiliated with SIMC or otherwise increase its compensation or that of its affiliates. These conflicts are mitigated through the separation of supervisory and advisory responsibilities among the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs and SIMC. Additional information regarding the Stratos-Affiliated RIA’s business practices, services, and conflicts is provided in their respective Form ADV brochures.  Affiliated Custodian and Cash Management Services In almost all cases IAS Clients are required to custody their accounts at SIMC’s affiliate, SPTC, a limited purpose federal savings association. SPTC charges the Client a fee for these services as set forth in SPTC’s custodial agreement with the Client. SPTC’s services may be provided to Clients at a discounted rate or without additional charge and such discounts may be based on IAS’s relationship with the Independent Advisor. In connection with providing shareholder services to Clients invested in the SEI Funds, SPTC generally receives a shareholder service fee from the SEI Funds for providing those services, although SPTC may reduce or waive its custodial fees on Client’s holding of these funds. To the extent that SIMC serves as investment adviser in connection with strategies investing in SEI Funds, SPTC’s receipt of these shareholder service fees represents a conflict of interest for SIMC in that due to SPTC’s receipt of such fees SIMC has an incentive to select SEI Funds over non-proprietary funds. SEI Integrated Cash Program and Conflicts of Interest. IAS Client accounts custodied at SPTC must participate in the SEI Integrated Cash Program. No other cash management programs are available to Client accounts custodied at SPTC. Under the SEI Integrated Cash Program, SPTC will transfer or “sweep” all (i) required Integrated Cash Program amounts (described below) and (ii) uninvested or unallocated cash in clients’ SPTC accounts into deposit accounts eligible for insurance by the FDIC (“FDIC Sweep”). FDIC Sweep amounts are deposited through a network of individual “Sweep Banks.” These deposits are eligible for FDIC insurance up to the maximum amount permitted by the FDIC, currently $250,000 for all deposits held in the same ownership category at each Sweep Bank. Client participation in the Integrated Cash Program results in significant financial benefits for SPTC and its affiliates. SPTC receives compensation from the Sweep Banks in connection with maintaining the FDIC Sweep (the “Bank Sweep Fee”). The Bank Sweep Fee charged by SPTC is not based on SPTC’s costs in connection with maintaining the Program and is in addition to other compensation received by SPTC (and its affiliates) with respect to your account. A committee made up of SEIC-employed individuals that serve as SPTC and SIMC employees or officers (the “Interest Rate Committee”) has sole discretion to set the Bank Sweep Fee, and thus SPTC and SIMC directly determine how much of the interest the banks pay on FDIC Sweep to Clients and how much SPTC retains as Bank Sweep Fee compensation. This discretion in setting the Bank Sweep Fee creates a conflict between the interests of Clients and the interests of SPTC and SIMC, in that the Interest Rate Committee’s determination of the Bank Sweep Fee affects the interest Clients earn on their FDIC Sweep. The higher the Bank Sweep Fee paid to SPTC, the lower the interest paid by the Sweep Banks to Clients; the lower the Bank Sweep Fee paid to SPTC, the higher the interest paid by the Sweep Banks to Clients. In connection with servicing accounts, for most account types SPTC requires a minimum of 1% of a Client’s account to be invested in the SEI Integrated Cash Program. Clients cannot opt out of this requirement when custodying assets at SPTC. As a result, a Client whose account is custodied at SPTC will have a minimum of 1% of their account invested in FDIC Sweep. In most cases, SIMC’s model allocations, including all accounts invested in Fund Model and MAS portfolios, reflect this cash requirement. This 1% minimum investment requirement results in conflicts of interest for SPTC and SIMC. In particular, because the amount of the Bank Sweep Fee SPTC receives is based on the amount of Client assets invested in FDIC Sweep, SPTC and SIMC have an incentive to set the minimum cash requirement at a level that maximizes revenue for SPTC. Furthermore, because the Integrated Cash Program does not offer other cash sweep options, such as money market funds, Clients and Independent Advisors will not be able to use the program to programmatically invest cash allocations held in Client Accounts above the 1% required FDIC Sweep in cash sweep vehicles that generate less revenue for SPTC and/or return higher investment yields to Clients. Therefore, in general, any cash balances in excess of the 1% SEI Integrated Cash Program requirement will also generally be held in the FDIC Sweep, creating additional revenue for SPTC and another conflict of interest. To mitigate this conflict of interest, to the extent an account holds cash balances in excess of the 1% required Integrated Cash Program requirement, SPTC offers Advisors the ability to invest such “excess cash balances” in SIMC- and certain third party-advised money market funds, many of which that have historically offered higher yields and result in less compensation for SPTC than the SEI Integrated Cash Program. Furthermore, to the extent a Client has a wrap account holding such excess cash balances, such excess cash balances will automatically be invested in the SEI Daily Income Trust Government II Fund, a SIMC-managed money market fund unless the Client’s Portfolio Manager instructs otherwise. The use of the SEI money market fund is subject to certain conflicts of interest due to the revenue it generates for SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates. SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates receive economic benefits in connection with shares held in the SEI money market fund. The fee paid to SPTC is for shareholder servicing and other services with respect to amounts  invested in the Program. SIMC (and its affiliates) receive advisory, administrative and other fees from (and with respect to) investments in the Money Market Sweep. SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates would not typically receive these fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds, and as a result, these fees create an incentive to select the Money Market Sweep instead of other money market funds that do not pay these fees. Clients holding excess cash should discuss available cash management options with their Advisors, particularly if they plan to hold significant cash positions for longer periods of time. The Bank Sweep Fee is in addition to the fees earned by SPTC (and its affiliates) with respect to other SEI Funds. It is also in addition to any advisory or wrap fees earned by SIMC in connection with IAS. The Bank Sweep Fee may be up to a maximum of the Federal Funds Target Rate (as can be found online at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DFEDTARU) plus 0.25% as determined by the total deposit balances at all of the Sweep Banks over a 12-month rolling period. Additionally, the third-party administrator of the FDIC Sweep (the “FDIC Sweep Administrator”) is paid fees by: (1) SPTC on a portion of the FDIC Sweep balances; and (2) Sweep Banks on the remaining portion of FDIC Sweep balances. SPTC also pays the bank maintaining the deposit account that initially settles deposits to the deposit accounts (the “Settlement Bank”) for the banking services it provides. Absent unusual circumstances, SPTC receives the majority of the amount paid by the Sweep Banks with respect to FDIC Sweep. Depending on interest rates and other factors, the interest to your account from the FDIC Sweep may be lower than the aggregate fees received by SPTC for your participation in the FDIC Sweep. This can result in your account experiencing negative overall investment return with respect to your FDIC Sweep investments. The Bank Sweep Fee is an important and significant source of revenue to SPTC and, indirectly, to SEIC. SPTC can raise and reduce its Bank Sweep Fee in its discretion. The amount of interest and fees the Sweep Banks are willing to pay varies, and is expected to continue to vary, from participating Sweep Bank to Sweep Bank. This creates a conflict for SPTC when selecting participating Sweep Banks in that it incentivizes SPTC (and the FDIC Sweep Administrator) to select and allocate FDIC Sweep to Sweep Banks that pay higher all-in rates. Participating Sweep Banks may also be clients of SPTC, creating an incentive to favor those banks over banks that are not clients of SPTC, resulting in a conflict of interest. The Bank Sweep Fee paid to SPTC can be greater or less than compensation paid to other platform custodians (who provide similar account-type services) with regard to cash sweep vehicles. The interest rate your FDIC Sweep cash earns can be lower than interest rates available to depositors making deposits directly with the same bank or with other depository institutions. Banks have a conflict of interest with respect to setting interest rates and do not have a duty to provide the highest rates available on the market and may instead seek to pay a low rate; lower rates are more financially beneficial to a bank. There is no necessary linkage between the FDIC Sweep’s rate of interest and other rates available in the market, including money market mutual fund rates. SPTC expects the Bank Sweep Fee it receives from Sweep Banks to be at a significantly higher rate than any service fee it will receive from money market mutual funds (or their service providers). In addition, in most interest rate environments, it is expected that deposits held as part of the FDIC Sweep will pay a significantly lower interest rate to you than other cash equivalent products that your Independent Advisor may choose in investing other portions of your account. This is a conflict of interest for SPTC in that SPTC expects to receive significantly greater compensation on Clients’ FDIC Sweep cash than it would on equivalent amounts held in other available investments. This conflict influences SPTC to require that a portion of Clients’ accounts be invested in the SEI Integrated Cash Program. For accounts not subject to a wrap fee, all applicable account-level advisory fees (including your Independent Advisor’s advisory fee) are assessed on 100% of the value of account assets on an ongoing basis, even though the amounts held in the SEI Integrated Cash Program do not receive any investment advisory or brokerage services. (They do receive administrative and custodial services.) In addition, accounts not subject to a wrap fee are not assessed SPTC’s custody fee with respect to amounts allocated to FDIC Sweep. Nevertheless, when looked at jointly, SIMC and SPTC may receive more compensation in connection with IAS Client assets invested in the SEI Integrated Cash Program than client assets invested in the advisory program strategies discussed in this Brochure. For accounts subject to a wrap fee, amounts held in FDIC Sweep are not assessed the wrap fee. In most interest-rate environments, applicable fees earned by SPTC in the Integrated Cash Program will exceed the amount of interest paid to accounts on the amounts held in the SEI Integrated Cash Program.  Limited FDIC Sweep Exclusions. In limited cases certain custodial accounts are not eligible for FDIC Sweep with the Integrated Cash Program (e.g., accounts established under Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b)(7)). In these cases the Integrated Cash Program will sweep cash, including any required 1% minimums as discussed above, into shares of the Money Market Sweep. It is important for Clients to understand that cash balances in the Money Market Sweep are not eligible for FDIC insurance. SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates receive economic benefits for shares held in the Money Market Sweep. The fee paid to SPTC is for shareholder servicing and other services with respect to amounts invested in the Program. SIMC (and its affiliates) receive advisory, administrative and other fees from (and with respect to) investments in the Money Market Sweep. SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates would not typically receive these fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds, and as a result, these fees create an incentive to select the Money Market Sweep instead of other money market funds that do not pay these fees. As a result of the fees SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates receive in connection with Money Market Sweep, there is an incentive for SPTC and SIMC to require that available cash balances are swept into the Money Market Sweep. Due to these fees, SPTC and SIMC realize more benefits as more of the assets in your Account are allocated to the Money Market Sweep. Furthermore, the longer client assets are held in Money Market Sweep, the greater the fee revenue SPTC, SIMC and its affiliates receive. Additional information on the SEI Integrated Cash Program, including current interest rates associated with FDIC Sweep and the SEI Integrated Cash Program Disclosure Document, can be found at seic.com/InsuredDepositCash. SPTC delivers the SEI Integrated Cash Program Disclosure Document to Clients at or prior to the time they begin participating in the SEI Integrated Cash Program and Clients should refer to that document for more information on the program and how it operates. Additional copies can be obtained from your Independent Advisor upon request. SPTC may also provide trust, custody and/or record-keeping services to SIMC’s other clients, including some of the Pooled Investment Vehicles. Please see Item 5 for additional information on fees. IAS, through SPTC and/or its affiliates’ arrangements with participating third party financial and lending institutions and technical interfaces available through the SEI Wealth Platform, offers the SBLOC Program to Independent Advisors for use with their Clients. The SBLOC Program allows Independent Advisors working with their Clients to submit a Client’s SBLOC application directly to one of the SBLOC Program’s participating financial and lending institutions where, if approved by the participating financial and lending institution, the SBLOC is secured by assets held in the applicable Client’s custodial account at SPTC. SBLOC Program functionality and processes are incorporated into the SWP Platform and provide operational and administrative efficiencies to Independent Advisors and their Clients that are not available when an Independent Advisor and its Clients works with a third party financial and lending institution not participating in the SBLOC Program. SPTC and/or its affiliates do not provide lending services and each SBLOC Program participating financial and lending institution independently establishes criteria for loan approval and loan terms (e.g., loan amount, lending rates, other loan terms, etc.). Each participating financial and lending institution contracts directly with an Independent Advisor’s Client once approved by such financial and lending institution for an SBLOC. SPTC and/or its affiliates receive compensation from the SBLOC Program participating financial and lending institutions based on funded SBLOC loans, which payments create a conflict of interest for IAS and SIMC personnel to promote the SBLOC Program to Independent Advisors. SPTC and/or its affiliates do not receive these fees when a Client works with a third party financial and lending institution outside of the SBLOC Program for similar services. SIMC believe this conflict is mitigated by the fact that the SBLOC Program is an optional service that an Independent Advisor working directly with its Clients may determine to use in their sole discretion; (ii) Independent Advisors are not compensated by SIMC, SPTC, or their affiliates when Clients participate in the SBLOC Program,(iii) Independent Advisors and their Clients may elect to work with third party financial and lending institutions to receive similar services outside of the program (but without the operational and technical support provided by IAS within the program); and (iv) SPTC requires participating financial and lending institution SBLOC application materials to include disclosures about the payments made to SPTC. Affiliated Broker-Dealer SIMC or sub-advisors will execute certain brokerage transactions using SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO and, as noted in the Wrap Brochure. SIDCO also receives shareholder service, administration service and/or distribution fees from the SEI Funds, portions of which are paid by SIDCO to affiliates or third  parties that provide such services. SIDCO also receives distribution or creation unit servicer fees from certain third-party ETFs and their sponsors when providing services to those firms under services agreements between SIDCO and such firms. A conflict of interest exists because SIDCO may earn additional fees to the extent that such ETFs are purchased by an SEI Fund or as part of MAS. SIMC anticipates that any resultant increase in fees payable to SIDCO would be immaterial. In addition, certain SIMC employees are also registered representatives of SIDCO. Such individuals do not receive additional compensation by virtue of their role with SIDCO. See Items 4 and 12 for additional information on SIMC’s use of broker-dealers, including SIDCO. Commodity Pool Operator and SWAP Firm SIMC is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) and SWAP Firm with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and certain SIMC employees are registered with the CFTC as Principals and/or Associated Persons.  Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics and Personal Trading When SIMC employees have access to nonpublic information, conflicts may arise between the interests of the employee and those of a client. For example, a SIMC employee could gain information on the purchase or sale of securities by a SIMC client, or portfolio holdings information for a particular client. The SIMC employee could use this information to take advantage of available investment opportunities, take an investment opportunity from a client for the employee’s own portfolio, or front-run (which occurs when an employee trades in his or her personal account before making client transactions). As a fiduciary, SIMC owes a duty of loyalty to clients, which requires that a SIMC employee must always place the interests of clients first and foremost and shall not take inappropriate advantage of his/her position. Thus SIMC personnel must conduct themselves and their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not create conflicts with the firm. SIMC has adopted a Code of Ethics to reinforce to its employees SIMC’s principles of integrity and ethics, and to enforce compliance with applicable regulations and best practices. Under the SIMC Code of Ethics, SIMC employees that are characterized as Access Persons and their family members with whom they reside must disclose personal securities holdings and personal securities transactions. Access Persons are SIMC employees that have access to non-public information regarding any client’s purchase or sale of securities or who are involved in making, or have non-public access to, securities recommendations to clients. Access Persons are also subject to certain trade pre-clearance and reporting standards for their personal securities transactions. Additionally, certain Access Persons may not purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any “Covered Security” (which is defined in the Code of Ethics) within 24 hours before or after the time that the same Covered Security is being purchased or sold in any SIMC Investment Vehicle. Some Access Persons may not purchase or sell such securities within seven days of a transaction for a SIMC Investment Vehicle. Certain Access Persons also may not profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of a Covered Security within 60 days of acquiring or disposing of beneficial ownership of that Covered Security. Finally, Access Persons may not acquire securities as part of an initial public offering or a private placement transaction without the prior consent of SIMC Compliance. The Code of Ethics also includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information and market timing, and also incorporates SEIC’s insider trading policy by reference. All supervised persons at SIMC are trained on the Code of Ethics and must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics upon hire and annually. SIMC anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which SIMC has management authority to effect and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which SIMC, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position or interest. SIMC’s employees and persons associated with SIMC are required to follow SIMC’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of SIMC and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for SIMC’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of SIMC will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is monitored under the Code of Ethics, to seek to prevent conflicts of interest between SIMC and its clients. Clients and prospects may request a copy of SIMC’s Code of Ethics by e-mailing SIMCCompliance@seic.com or sending a request to: SEI Investments Management Corporation, Attn: SIMC Compliance, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456.  Participation or Interest in Client Transactions (Side-By-Side Management) As explained above, among its other recommendations, SIMC recommends its Clients invest in Pooled Investment Vehicles to which SIMC also serves as investment advisor and its affiliates may provide other services when SIMC believes such recommendation is appropriate for the Client. For example, SIMC, as investment manager to a Client, may recommend that they invest in the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds, SEI Interval Funds or a managed account, where SIMC also serves as investment advisor and receives a fee for those services. This creates a conflict of interest whereby SIMC has a financial incentive to recommend an unsuitable SIMC investment product to a SIMC client in order for SIMC and its affiliates to receive additional fees. SIMC discloses its fees in the offering documents for each Pooled Investment Vehicle. In addition, when SIMC and/or its affiliates have a material pecuniary interest in either the SEI Funds, SEI Interval Funds or SEI Alternative Funds (“Interested Vehicle”), a conflict of interest may exist whereby SIMC has an additional financial incentive to ensure that such Interested Vehicle performs well to increase its return on investment. Furthermore, SIMC and its portfolio managers have an incentive to allocate investment opportunities to such Interested Vehicle in a way that favors SIMC and its affiliates over the interest of its clients and other investors. Notwithstanding these conflicts of interest, SIMC may aggregate transactions of an Interested Vehicle with other SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles as long as SIMC has determined pursuant to its allocation procedures that participation by such SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles is fair and equitable. Further, SIMC may aggregate transactions for an Interested Vehicle and an SEI Fund involving private placement securities as long as the only negotiated term for such private placement securities is price. SIMC has adopted trade aggregation procedures (“Aggregation Procedures”) designed to ensure that aggregated transactions are made in a manner that is fair and equitable to, and in the best interests of, the SEI Fund and any other participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles. The Aggregation Procedures require the portfolio manager of each participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicle to review the Vehicle's investment objectives, investment restrictions, cash position, need for liquidity, sector concentration, and other objective criteria and to determine whether a purchase or sale of a private placement security is an appropriate transaction. The Aggregation Procedures require that each participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicle receive individualized investment advice and treatment. The portfolio manager will document how private placement securities or proceeds from an aggregated sale of such securities will be allocated among participating Vehicles (“Allocation Statement”). If there is a sufficient amount of private placement securities, in the case of a purchase, or proceeds, in the case of a sale, to satisfy all participants, the securities or proceeds will be allocated among the participants as documented by the portfolio manager. If there is an insufficient amount of private placement securities or sale proceeds to satisfy all participants, the securities or proceeds will be allocated pro rata, based on the allocation that each of the participants would have received if there was a sufficient amount of securities or proceeds and such distribution of securities or proceeds may only be allocated on a basis different from that specified in the Allocation Statement if all participants receive fair and equitable treatment. SIMC and its affiliates in some instances advise one client or take actions for a client, for itself, for its affiliates, or for their related persons that are different from the advice given or actions taken for other clients. SIMC, its affiliates, and their related persons are not obligated to buy or sell for a client any investment that they may buy, sell, or recommend for any other client or for their own accounts. Persons associated with SIMC or its affiliates have investments in the SEI Funds. It is SIMC’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal securities transactions for client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where SIMC, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliate (i.e., SIDCO), buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. In limited circumstances, SIMC affects cross-transactions in which SIMC affects transactions between two of its managed client accounts (i.e., arranging for the clients' securities trades by "crossing" these trades when SIMC believes that such transactions are beneficial to its clients). To the extent permitted by law, SIDCO may act as a broker, and may receive a commission. The client may revoke SIMC's cross- transaction authority at any time upon written notice to SIMC.  Item 12 – Brokerage Practices Broker Selection SIMC has a duty to seek best execution of the transactions executed by SIMC for its clients’ accounts. Although commission rates are an important consideration in determining whether “best execution” is being obtained, they are not determinative, as many other factors also are relevant in determining whether SIMC has achieved the best result for clients under the circumstances. As the SEC has acknowledged, there is no precise definition for “best execution,” since it is a facts and circumstances determination. SIMC may consider numerous factors in arranging for the purchase and sale of clients’ portfolio securities. These include any legal restrictions, such as those imposed under the securities laws and ERISA, and any client-imposed restrictions. Within these constraints, SIMC shall employ or deal with members of securities exchanges and other brokers and dealers or banks as SIMC approves and that will, in the portfolio manager’s judgment, provide “best execution” (i.e., prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable under the prevailing market conditions) for a particular transaction for the client’s account. SIMC periodically evaluates the quality of these brokerage services as provided by various firms. In determining the abilities of a broker-dealer or bank to obtain best execution of portfolio transactions, SIMC will consider all relevant factors, including: • The execution capabilities the transactions require; • Electronic routing capabilities to underlying brokers; • The ability and willingness of the broker-dealer or bank to facilitate the accounts’ portfolio transactions by participating for its own account; • The importance to the account of speed, efficiency, and confidentiality; • The apparent familiarity of the broker-dealer or bank with sources from or to whom particular securities might be purchased or sold; • The reputation and perceived soundness of the broker-dealer or bank; and • Other matters relevant to the selection of a broker-dealer or bank for portfolio transactions for any account. SIMC will not seek in advance competitive bidding for the most favorable commission rate applicable to any particular portfolio transaction or select any broker-dealer or bank on the basis of its purported or “posted” commission rate structure. Certain types of trades, such as most fixed income securities transactions, do not involve the payment of a commission. Affiliated Brokerage SIMC and SIMC appointed sub-advisors use SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO, for various services for its clients, which are described below. Other than trading in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, MAS, the Sub- Advised Program (including Gateway Models) or other accounts where SIMC has investment discretion, it is the applicable portfolio manager’s decision whether to execute a particular securities transaction using SIDCO. SIMC discloses the use of its affiliated broker-dealer in the investment management agreement that clients sign with SIMC for services. By directing brokerage to SIDCO, SIMC may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of client transactions and this practice may cost clients more money. SEI Proprietary Funds Generally, portfolio transactions in the SEI Funds are effected by sub-advisors pursuant to each sub- advisor’s own brokerage policies and practices and may elect to execute trades through SIDCO. SIMC effects trades in the SEI ETFs and, in certain situations, the SEI Funds. SIMC and sub-advisors, electing to do so, execute trades through SIDCO for the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, subject to the duty to obtain best execution and subject to applicable law. Generally, under these provisions, SIDCO is permitted to receive and retain compensation for effecting portfolio transactions if such compensation does not exceed “usual and customary” brokerage commissions. SIMC's brokerage discretion practices with respect to the SEI  Funds are reviewed at least annually by the SEI Funds' Board of Trustees and in compliance with Section 17(e) (1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The following are examples of situations where portfolio trades in the SEI Funds may be executed through SIDCO. Manager Transitions SIMC executes transactions through SIDCO in connection with portfolio transitions that accompany SIMC’s reallocation of assets due to the hiring or termination of sub-advisors. Assets may also be reallocated to existing sub-advisors. SIDCO serves as an introducing broker-dealer for these transactions, which means that SIDCO will introduce the transaction to one or more clearing brokers. SIDCO and the applicable clearing brokers will receive and retain compensation (i.e., commissions) for executing such transactions. Since SIDCO earns fees in connection with these transactions, SIMC has an incentive to change sub- advisors more frequently than necessary in order for its affiliate to earn additional fees. This risk is mitigated by SIMC’s robust manager due diligence process and oversight structure, and the fact that manager changes require approval by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Additionally, the use of SIDCO in manager transitions is reviewed by the SEI Funds Board of Trustees. Trading for SEI ETFs and SEI Funds’ Internally Managed Equity Portfolios In connection with internally managed equity portfolios and all trading in the SEI ETFs, SIMC executes those trades either through a combination of unaffiliated third party brokers and its affiliated broker- dealer SIDCO as introducing broker. When SIDCO is used as introducing broker, trades are routed to unaffiliated executing brokers or clearing firmsthat are available through SIDCO. As with the transition management trades, There is an inherent conflict of interest in SIMC’s use of SIDCO for trading. SIMC may be motivated to pay a higher commission for trades involving SIDCO compared to a third party broker. This conflict is mitigated by SIMC’s duty to seek best execution.of SIDCO for trading. SIMC may be motivated to pay a higher commission for trades involving SIDCO compared to a third party broker. This conflict is mitigated by SIMC’s duty to seek best execution. Sub-Advisor Trading Through SIDCO Sub-advisors to certain SEI Funds may execute a portion of an SEI Fund’s portfolio transactions through SIDCO. These relationships may involve soft dollar trading or execution only arrangements. The commission rate is negotiated between the sub-advisor and SIDCO. SIMC neither encourages nor discourages sub-advisors from trading through SIDCO, and does not take such trading into consideration in determining whether to recommend that a manager be hired or terminated. All such trading is, of course, subject to the sub-advisor’s duty to achieve best execution. Further, each sub-advisor that trades through SIDCO is required to report such trades on a quarterly basis to the Funds’ chief compliance officer. Client Transitions SIMC, in some instances, uses SIDCO to liquidate a client’s securities portfolio. SIMC typically undertakes such liquidations to make cash and/or in-kind securities investments in one or more of the SEI Funds. SIDCO serves as an introducing broker-dealer for these transactions, which means that SIDCO will introduce the transaction to one or more clearing brokers. SIDCO and the applicable clearing brokers will receive and retain compensation (i.e., commissions) for executing such transactions. Information regarding the relationship between SIMC and SIDCO are disclosed to the client in the investment management agreement. In the case of clients subject to ERISA, SIMC’s use of SIDCO for transition services will be in accordance with applicable law and regulation. In order to comply with applicable law, the client is permitted to withdraw its consent to the use of SIDCO for client transactions by sending a written notice to SIMC.  Managed Account Solutions MAS is a “Wrap Fee Programs,” meaning the client pays one fee for investment advisory and brokerage services) is structured such that the equity managers in the program generally execute all trades in the Program using SIDCO, consistent with the equity manager’s duty to seek best execution. SIDCO will receive and retain compensation for this trading activity. In many cases, Model Managers in MAS will provide SIMC with the Portfolio Manager’s investment model for a particular investment strategy and SIMC will implement that model and execute all transactions allocated to that strategy. There may be instances where an equity manager responsible for trading its own investment strategy has determined not to execute certain orders through SIDCO, consistent with such manager’s duty to seek best execution. Also, a significant percentage of trades in closed-end fund and master limited partnership strategies managed by Parametric are executed through third-party broker-dealers, on the basis that Parametric believes doing so results in the best combination of price and execution cost. Further, the wrap fee program’s Trading Managers select and utilize brokers as required by their firm’s own policies and procedures. Trading Managers of fixed income strategies will generally execute trades through third- party broker-dealers. The SIMC fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) where SIMC or a Portfolio Manager executes transactions with broker-dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates. Any such execution charges will be separately charged to the Independent Advisor’s Clients assets. SIMC’s internal governance structure oversees SIMC’s use of SIDCO in the wrap fee program to ensure that its use of SIDCO for the wrap fee program is suitable. Please refer to the Wrap Brochure for information on brokerage services applicable to the assets managed through MAS. Sub-Advised Program and Gateway Manager Program The Sub-Advised Program is structured such that the sub-advisors in this program generally execute transactions in the same manner as set forth in the previous section for MAS. SIDCO does not charge commissions on the equity orders it executes for this program (including on Gateway Models) and will instead receive and retain compensation from SIMC for this trading activity. The SIMC Fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) where SIMC or a Portfolio Manager executes transactions with broker-dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates. Any such execution charges will be separately charged to the Independent Advisor’s Clients assets. SIMC’s internal governance structure oversees SIMC’s use of SIDCO in the program to ensure that its use of SIDCO for this program is suitable. Soft Dollar Practices SIMC does not intend to cause an account to pay more in commissions in return for research products and/or services provided to SIMC. However, brokers with which SIMC trades may provide proprietary research materials or technology to SIMC. While SIMC does not necessarily consider receipt of such information, or access to such technology, to constitute soft dollar arrangements, it does present a conflict of interest for SIMC in connection with the selection of brokers for the execution of trades to the extent that SIMC considers such research or technology to be valuable. Sub-advisors to the SEI Funds may engage in soft dollar transactions pursuant to the sub-advisors’ own policies and procedures. Client Referrals SIMC does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker-dealers, whether SIMC or a related person receives client referrals from a broker-dealer or third-party and the conflicts this creates. Directed Brokerage In limited circumstances, a client may direct SIMC to use a particular broker-dealer (subject to SIMC’s right to decline and/or terminate the engagement) to execute some or all transactions for the client’s account. In such event, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with that  broker-dealer, and SIMC will not seek better execution services or prices from other broker-dealers or be able to “batch” the client’s transactions for execution through other broker-dealers with orders for other accounts managed by SIMC. As a result, client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Trade Aggregation SIMC is permitted to aggregate or “batch” orders placed at the same time for the accounts of two or more clients if it is in the best interests of its clients. By batching trade orders, SIMC seeks to obtain more favorable executions and net prices for the combined order, and ensure that no participating client is favored over any other client. Typically, SIMC will affect block orders for the purchase and sale for the same security for client accounts to facilitate best execution and to reduce transaction costs. When an aggregated order is filled in its entirety, each participating client account generally will receive the block price obtained on all such purchases or sales with respect to such order. The portfolio manager for each account must determine that the purchase or sale of the particular security involved is appropriate for the client and consistent with the client’s investment objectives and with any investment guidelines or restrictions applicable to the client’s account. The portfolio manager for each account must reasonably believe that the block trading will benefit, and will enable SIMC to seek best execution for, each client participating in the block order. This requires a reasonable good faith judgment at the time the order is placed for execution.  Item 13 – Review of Accounts For those clients to whom SIMC provides investment advisory services through MAS or DFS, the Independent Advisor is responsible for reviewing accounts with its Clients and determining the ongoing suitability of the Client’s investment strategy and asset allocation in light of the Client’s objectives. Additionally, SIMC will contact the Independent Advisor for confirmation that the investment strategy for the Client does not need to be changed in light of the client’s current investment objectives and risk tolerance. SIMC will rely on Client information submitted by the Client’s Independent Advisor annually, or more frequently if the Client changes the account’s investment strategy, to determine whether the strategy selected for the account is still suitable for the Client’s investment objectives. All investment advisory Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to ensure that SIMC is advised, directly by them or through the Independent Advisor, of any changes in their investment objectives and/or financial situation. Additionally, the Independent Advisor designated by the Client may conduct periodic reviews and provide the Client with certain reports. With respect to the Sub-Advisory programs, the Independent Advisor is responsible for reviewing accounts with Clients and determining the ongoing suitability of the Client’s investment strategy and asset allocation in light of the Client’s objectives.  Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation SIMC’s investment solutions, including the Pooled Investment Vehicles, are offered to Independent Advisors for their use in providing advisory services to their Clients. SIMC and its affiliates receive fees from the Pooled Investment Vehicles, which are determined as a percentage of the applicable Pooled Investment Vehicle’s total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends to an Independent Advisor that its clients invest in Pooled Investment Vehicles, SIMC and its affiliates benefit from the investment in the Pooled Investment Vehicles. Please see Items 4 and 12 for additional information. In connection with an Independent Advisor’s use of SIMC’s investment solutions, SIMC and its affiliates provide the Independent Advisor with a range of services and other benefits, which in some cases include financial compensation, to help it conduct its business and serve its Clients. These benefits and services, discussed below, may be made available to Independent Advisors at no fee or at a discounted fee, and the terms may vary among Independent Advisors depending on the business they and their Clients conduct with SIMC and other factors. These benefits and services do not necessarily benefit the Independent Advisor’s Clients. Technology Platform SIMC and its affiliates provide Independent Advisors with technical and operational solutions including a technology and operational platform referred to as the “SEI Wealth Platform”sm. The SEI Wealth Platform is provided to Independent Advisors and generally supports the management of their Clients’ accounts held at SPTC. The SEI Wealth Platform provides a view of the Independent Advisors’ Client’s accounts at SPTC and gives Independent Advisors the ability to submit instructions to SPTC on behalf of their Clients, such as transactions, strategy changes, and general servicing of Client accounts, as well as other tools that allow Advisors to develop, select, and evaluate investment strategies for its Clients. The SEI Wealth Platform also supports the processing of advisory fees for the Independent Advisors. The fact that Independent Advisors may not incur any cost for the SEI Wealth Platform could create an incentive for the Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC and SPTC over any other third party managers and custodians that do charge a cost for access to a similar platform. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, if applicable, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. SIMC supports various third-party software systems used by Independent Advisors to manage Client assets and automated workflows provided by or paid for by SIMC that supports the integration of these systems into the SEI Wealth Platform or to streamline Independent Advisors’ interaction with the SEI Wealth Platform and SIMC’s or SPTC’s other systems. SIMC also provides personnel for operational support to facilitate the integration of third-party software/systems that Independent Advisors use with the SEI Wealth Platform to help to streamline operations. The maximum payment payable to, or benefit received by, an Independent Advisor for internal software systems during a calendar year is $5,000.00. An Independent Advisor is eligible for this third-party software/systems-related benefit only if it maintains a certain level of Client assets invested in SEI Funds, SEI ETFs, MAS, or Sub-Advised Program (together, “assets under management with SIMC”) or is actively engaged with SIMC and its investment, administrative and operational services. This creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third-party managers that do not offer this benefit. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. In rare instances we have entered into contractual arrangements with Independent Advisors to reimburse them amounts for third party software and technology support. Payment of these amounts are subject to the terms of a contract with the Independent Advisor which, among other things, require the advisor to determine that the acceptance of the benefit is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to disclose the nature of the arrangement and any conflicts raised by such arrangement with their clients. This benefit creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC and its investment solutions over other third-party managers that do not provide similar benefits. For additional  information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. SIMC also supports Independent Advisor’s use of non-integrated third-party software/systems. Independent Advisors receive the software directly from the third-party at a reduced cost through SIMC or its affiliate’s arrangement with the software provider to provide discounted rates to Independent Advisors. Discounts available to Independent Advisors vary by third-party software providers, but are generally a certain percentage from the software provider’s standard fees. This creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third-party managers that do not offer this benefit. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. Conversion Services When the Independent Advisors undertake a conversion of its Clients’ accounts to SPTC from other custodial platforms, Independent Advisors receive clerical support from SIMC personnel to streamline the conversion process (e.g., SIMC personnel populate SIMC’s and SPTC’s end client paperwork for client signature necessary for clients to move accounts to SPTC) and other administrative services. The maximum payment or benefit payable to an Independent Advisor for clerical support from SIMC personnel to streamline the conversion of Clients’ accounts to SPTC is $2,000 per 100 accounts that are converted. In certain circumstances SIMC pays the costs that the Independent Advisor’s Clients would otherwise incur when transferring Clients’ assets to SPTC from another custodian (for instance, paying account closing fees charged by the Client’s old custodian). SIMC may either pay the custodian directly the amount it would have otherwise charged each converting Client to close its account with the custodian or reimburse the Client’s account at SPTC by the amount of the transfer costs incurred. In certain limited cases, SIMC may also pay compensation of up to ten (10) basis points on Independent Advisors’ Clients assets transferred to SPTC to offset transition costs incurred by the Independent Advisors. An Independent Advisor is eligible for this conversion services benefit only if it commits to move a certain level of client assets over to IAS. This creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third-party managers that do not offer this benefit. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. Other Research Investment Services investment research to assist Independent Advisors in making SIMC provides investment recommendations/decisions for its Clients’ accounts. This service generally consists of SIMC’s investment professionals reviewing an Independent Advisors Client’s current investment portfolio, future goals and potential tax impact of an investment reallocation, as provided by the Independent Advisors to SIMC, and designing an investment portfolio intended to meet the Clients’ goals constructed using SIMC’s proprietary investment solutions. The proposed investment portfolio is provided by SIMC to Independent Advisors. Independent Advisors independently review any investment proposal designed by SIMC and determines whether to recommend/use the investment portfolio with its Client(s) and/or to implement the portfolio at SIMC. This benefit creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC and its investment solutions over other third-party managers that do not offer a similar service. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. Marketing Benefits In circumstances where SIMC determines that an Independent Advisor is actively engaged with SIMC and its investment, administrative and operational services, an Independent Advisor receives assistance  from SIMC for marketing activities, including, but not limited to, creating and providing marketing toolkits and other forms of marketing materials to be adapted by the Independent Advisors to use with its Clients and prospects and assistance with joint marketing (e.g., co-branded) initiatives. This benefit creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third party managers that do not offer it, or to otherwise favor SIMC in the Independent Advisor’s communications and marketing efforts. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. SEI’s Ambassador Benefits Program (“ABP”) As discussed below, SIMC categorizes certain Independent Advisors as eligible to participate in the ABP and certain benefits are typically only available to Independent Advisors that either have reached or agreed to reach a certain level of assets on the SEI Wealth Platform, including in SEI Programs (including SIMC). SEI’s Ambassador Benefits Program (“ABP”) Benefit Within SEI’s Ambassador Benefits Program (formerly Advisor Benefits Program), Advisors are encouraged to utilize SEI’s tools, templates and best practices, or to engage with SEI to receive business and investment consulting, and/or education and guidance for implementing a growth plan for their businesses. Certain Advisors can receive an allowance or “Growth Budget” from SIMC for reimbursement of qualified expenses incurred by the Advisor based on their participation in SEI-sponsored events, marketing initiatives, practice initiatives, growth initiatives, or use of technology resources and tools. The Growth Budget from SIMC is intended to promote an Advisor’s use of IAS and SEI Programs (including SIMC) with its Clients. Growth Budgets are based on the total assets under management invested in SIMC’s proprietary investment solutions and/or the total assets under management on the SEI Wealth Platform (“Total Platform Assets”), meaning that budget allotments generally increase as an Advisor’s assets under management invested at SEI increases. The maximum payment or benefit payable to an Advisor for its marketing efforts (either through direct payments to a vendor or in the provision of materials) in addition to the costs connected to the IAS-sponsored educational and informational events noted below during a calendar year is $25,000. In addition to the benefits identified above, Advisors eligible for the ABP participate in IAS-sponsored national and/or regional events, webinars, seminars, practice management services and other educational and informational events where SIMC pays for part or all of the costs, to educate Advisors about SEI Programs (including SIMC), to promote the success of the Financial Advisory Firm and/or Advisors, to support Advisors’ use of the SEI Wealth Platform (including SIMC), to provide practice management support, and to help Advisors manage their business. Costs covered by SIMC to attend national and/or regional events include the costs of conference attendance (including hotel expenses) and may include some costs of third-party presenters. These benefits create an incentive for an Advisor to recommend and invest through SEI Programs (including SIMC) over other third-party managers and investment sponsors that do not offer it, or to otherwise favor SIMC’s proprietary investments in the Advisor’s communications and marketing efforts. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Advisor, please see your Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Advisor. SEI’s Ambassador Benefits Program – Client Discounts The Clients of Advisors in the ABP will receive discounts to the Client’s contractually agreed upon MAS pricing, Sub-Advised Program pricing and SPTC’s custodial services pricing. The maximum discount that SIMC makes available is a 20% discount from SIMC’s contractual fee rates for MAS and Sub-Advised Strategies. In addition, SPTC makes available is a waiver of SPTC’s annual $60 custody Small Account Fee for Client accounts opened after the Advisor qualifies for the ABP and retains the qualification. Because these discounted fees are available only through certain Advisors, Clients are encouraged to discuss the availability of these discounts with their Advisors. These discounts are at SIMC’s discretion and may be terminated at any time, after which time contracted fee rates will apply. When an Advisor is no longer eligible to participate in the ABP, Client discounts may be terminated. Direct and Indirect Support for Advisors  IAS sponsors national and/or regional events for participating Firms and/or Advisors designed to promote the success of the Financial Advisory Firm and/or Advisors, to support Advisors’ use of the SEI Wealth Platform (including SIMC), to provide practice management support, and to help Advisors manage their business. SEI offers Investment Management Firms, Technology Firms, and other strategic alliances, who in some cases also are Sub-Advisors for SIMC, the opportunity to contribute to the costs of IAS sponsored conferences and be identified as a sponsor. These opportunities result in IAS receiving marketing or sponsorship payments from third-party asset managers or service providers in connection with educational events or similar programs, which are reviewed for potential conflicts, are not tied to investment recommendations, and do not require or imply any favorable treatment for sponsors. In addition to and outside of the Ambassador Benefits Program, SIMC covers costs (including hotel expenses) for certain Advisors to attend national and/or regional events. Certain Advisors are eligible to receive additional benefits, including a dedicated service and processing team with SPTC, priority access to investment research to assist Advisors in making investment recommendations/decisions for its Clients’ accounts and priority access to new SIMC programs, technology and services. The criteria for benefits may change from time to time. In rare instances we have entered into contractual arrangements with Advisors to reimburse eligible amounts for marketing related, practice-related, and/or growth-related expenses that significantly exceeds the benefit amounts listed above. Payment of these amounts are subject to the terms of a contract with the Advisor which, among other things, requires the advisor to determine that the acceptance of the benefit is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to disclose the nature of the arrangement and any conflicts raised by such arrangement with their clients. This benefit creates an incentive for an Advisor to recommend and invest through SEI Programs (including SIMC). For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Advisor, please see your Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Advisor. Custom Pricing In certain cases, SIMC and its affiliates agree to customized pricing discounts for particular Advisors’ Client accounts at SPTC (such as MAS or Sub-Advised Program pricing discounts exceeding the Ambassador Benefits Program discounts noted above) based on account size and/or the nature and scope of business the Advisor does with IAS, including the current and future expected amount of the Advisor’s Client assets in custody at SPTC and the types of SIMC investment products used by the Advisor. Pricing discounts may vary materially from standard pricing and include SPTC agreeing to waive transactional charges and other fees it would normally charge the Advisor’s Clients. SIMC and its affiliates, including SPTC, may change this pricing and the services and other benefits provided if the nature or scope of the Advisor’s business changes or does not reach certain levels, in which case pricing for the Advisor’s Client accounts may increase but will not exceed SIMC’s and its affiliate’s standard pricing for such products and services. This benefit creates an incentive for an Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third-party managers. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Advisor, please see your Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. Revenue Sharing Many Independent Advisors are affiliated with large regional or national financial intermediaries, including “dual registrant” brokerage and advisory firms that provide much of the core regulatory, compliance and operational infrastructure Independent Advisors rely upon to operate their businesses. SIMC and its affiliates pay compensation to these firms for services such as, without limitation,  providing the SEI Funds with “shelf space” or a higher profile for the firm’s associated Independent Advisors and their Clients, placing the SEI Funds on the firm’s preferred or recommended fund list, granting SIMC access to the firm’s associated Independent Advisors, providing assistance in training and educating the firms’ personnel, allowing sponsorship of seminars or information meetings and furnishing marketing support and other specified services. SIMC also compensates these firms to support their ability to provide administrative support services required when the firm’s affiliated Independent Advisors conduct business with their Clients through the use of IAS services. These payments are typically based on average net assets of SEI Funds attributable to that firm’s Independent Advisors working with IAS, a negotiated annual lump sum payment or other similar metrics. For example, SIMC may pay either: (i) up to ten (10) basis points on net cash flow invested in SEI Funds; and/or (ii) ten (10) basis points multiplied by the firm’s Independent Advisors’ Clients total assets invested in SIMC sponsored investments for the administrative services provided and to help offset the compliance service costs that the firm will incur in overseeing their Independent Advisor’s use of SIMC managed investment solutions. Alternatively, SIMC may pay up to ten (10) basis points multiplied by the firm’s Advisors’ Clients total assets invested in SIMC sponsored investments for the firm’s marketing and distribution services as well as administrative services provided and to help offset the compliance service costs that the broker-dealer will be the subject of. The terms of these arrangements with various firms will vary. Payments are sometimes made by SIMC or its affiliates to financial institutions to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided, such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. These fees may be used by the financial institutions to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The foregoing payments may be in addition to any shareholder servicing fees paid to a financial institution in accordance with the SEI Funds’ Shareholder Services Plan or Administrative Services Plan. These payments create an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third party managers that do not offer similar arrangements. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. Solicitation Arrangements SIMC enters into solicitation arrangements with third parties and affiliates who will receive a solicitation fee from SIMC for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. Additionally, SIMC compensates SEIC employees who will receive a fee for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. In all cases these solicitation arrangements are designed and implemented in a manner to comply with Investment Adviser Act Rule 206(4)-1 and applicable state laws. Independent Advisor Benefits The benefits, services or payments made to Independent Advisors or financial institutions discussed throughout this Item 14 and elsewhere in this Form ADV may be significant to the Independent Advisor or financial institutions receiving them and creates an incentive for the Independent Advisor or financial institutions to recommend or offer SIMC’s investment management products and services, including the SEI Funds, to Clients rather than other funds or investment products. These payments are made by SIMC and its affiliates out of its past profits or other available resources. Although the SEI Funds use broker-dealers that sell SEI Fund shares to effect transactions for the SEI Funds’ portfolio, the SEI Funds, SIMC and its sub-advisors will not consider the sale of SEI Fund shares as a factor when choosing broker-dealers to affect those transactions and will not direct brokerage transactions to broker-dealers as compensation for the sales of SEI Fund shares.  Item 15 – Custody In most cases, SPTC, an affiliate of SIMC, serves as custodian for SIMC clients (with the exception of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and some of SIMC’s other Pooled Investment Vehicles). As custodian, SPTC will send periodic account statements directly to clients. Additionally, SPTC provides SIMC clients with other account and reporting services, including quarterly performance reports, year-end tax reports and online account access. SPTC charges a fee for its services. SIMC clients are encouraged to carefully review the account statements they receive from SPTC. In addition, SIMC clients are urged to compare any statements received from SIMC to the statements received from SPTC (or other third-party custodian). Comparing statements will allow clients to determine whether account transactions, including deductions to pay advisory fees, are accurate. As a result of its affiliation with the general partner or director to the SEI Alternative Funds, SIMC is deemed to have custody of the SEI Alternative Funds’ assets. Pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, SIMC maintains compliance by ensuring that each SEI Alternative Fund: • is audited on an annual basis by an independent accountant that is registered with, and subject to regular inspection by, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in accordance with its rules. • distributes audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to all limited partners (or members or other beneficial owners) within the distribution timeframes set forth in Rule 206(4)-2 specific to the type of private fund. SIMC does not maintain custody of certain legacy privately placed (alternative) investments held by Clients but may provide certain reporting services on such investments. In these cases, Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains Clients’ investment assets or receive annual audited financial statements from the private fund sponsor. SIMC urges Clients to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that SIMC may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities.  Item 16 – Investment Discretion SIMC maintains discretionary authority (1) as investment advisor to Pooled Investment Vehicles ; (2) to determine the re-balancing allocation of a client's assets among the individual SEI Funds or other Pooled Investment Vehicles; (3) in certain circumstances, to dispose of a client's securities in order to raise cash to purchase SEI Funds, liquidate the account or invest in other Pooled Investment Vehicles; and (4) for MAS and DFS, as set forth in each End Investor’s applicable agreement. Please see Item 4 for additional information on the discretion SIMC has on Client accounts invested in products and the reasonable restrictions Clients can place on some of these products.  Item 17 – Voting Client Securities SIMC has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that SIMC votes proxies in the best interest of its clients. SIMC has retained a third-party proxy voting service (the “Service”), to vote proxies with respect to applicable SIMC clients in accordance with approved guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and may deviate from voting in accordance with the Guidelines in certain limited exception scenarios (see below). SIMC also has a proxy voting committee (the “Committee”), comprised of SIMC employees, which approves the proxy voting guidelines or approves how SIMC should vote in certain scenarios. So long as the Service votes proxies in accordance with the Guidelines, SIMC maintains that there is an appropriate presumption that the manner in which SIMC voted was not influenced by, and did not result from, a conflict of interest. In addition to retaining the Service, SIMC has also engaged a separate third- party vendor to assist with company engagement services (the “Engagement Service”). The Engagement Service strives to help investors manage reputational risk and increase corporate accountability through proactive, professional and constructive engagement. As a result of this process, the Engagement Service will at times provide to SIMC recommendations that may conflict with the Guidelines (see below for more detail). SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendation, in certain/limited scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Service’s recommendation. The exercise of such right could implicate a conflict of interest. As a result, SIMC may not overrule the Service’s recommendation with respect to a proxy unless the following steps are taken: a. The Committee meets to consider the proposal to overrule the Service’s recommendation. b. The Committee determines whether SIMC has a conflict of interest with respect to the issuer that is the subject of the proxy. If the Committee determines that SIMC has a conflict of interest, the Committee then determines whether the conflict is “material” to any specific proposal included within the proxy. If not, then SIMC can vote the proxy as determined by the Committee. c. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC has a material conflict of interest, SIMC may vote a proxy regarding that proposal in any of the following manners: • Obtain Client Consent or Direction – If the Committee approves the proposal to overrule the recommendation of the Service, SIMC must fully disclose to each client holding the security at issue the nature of the conflict, and obtain the client’s consent to how SIMC will vote on the proposal (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client as to how the proxy on the proposal should be voted). • Use Recommendation of the Service – Vote in accordance with the Service’s recommendation. d. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC does not have a material conflict of interest, the Committee may overrule the Service’s recommendation if the Committee reasonably determines that doing so is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients. If the Committee decides to overrule the Service’s recommendation, the Committee will maintain a written record setting forth the basis of the Committee’s decision. Notwithstanding these policies and procedures, actual proxy voting decisions of SIMC may have the effect of favoring the interests of other clients or businesses of SIMC and/or its affiliates, provided that SIMC believes such voting decisions to be in accordance with its fiduciary obligations. In some cases, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients to abstain from voting certain proxies. SIMC will abstain from voting in the event any of the following conditions are met with regard to a proxy proposal: • Neither the Guidelines nor specific client instructions cover an issue;  • The Service does not make a recommendation on the issue; • In circumstances where, in SIMC’s judgment, the costs of voting the proxy exceed the expected benefits to clients; Share blocking; • • The Committee is unable to convene on the proxy proposal to make a determination as to what would be in the client’s best interest; and • Proxies in foreign jurisdictions where the requirements necessary to vote are not practical and create an administrative hurdle that SIMC is unable to clear in the required (usually limited) time frame. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting mutual fund proxies for any and all mutual funds maintained in client portfolios. With respect to proxies of an affiliated investment company or series thereof (e.g., the SEI U.S. mutual funds) SIMC will vote such proxies in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders of the investment company or series thereof (i.e., “echo vote” or “mirror vote”). Client Directed Votes. SIMC clients who have delegated voting responsibility to SIMC with respect to their account may from time to time contact their client representative if they would like to direct SIMC to vote in a particular solicitation. SIMC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to vote according to the client’s request in these circumstances, and cannot provide assurances that such voting requests will be implemented. Clients may also direct votes with respect to securities held directly by the client. The client may not direct votes for securities held by Pooled Investment Vehicle unless otherwise disclosed in such products prospectus or offering documents. This does not apply to the SEI Fund shares that are proportionally voted pursuant to the SEI Institutional Investments Trust Vote Choice Program. The Vote Choice Program allows, subject to the terms of the Program, a shareholder of an eligible Fund to direct the Fund to vote their proportionate share interest in accordance with the shareholder’s selected third- party proxy voting policy. As noted above, SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendations in certain scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Guidelines. In all such cases, this requires the Committee to rule out any material conflict (as noted above) prior to overriding the Guidelines. Areas where SIMC may consider overriding the Guidelines include: • Requests by third-party sub-advisers within the SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles to direct certain votes; and • Recommendations by the Engagement Service. Clients may obtain a copy of SIMC’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request. Clients may also obtain information from SIMC about how SIMC voted any proxies on behalf of their account(s) by either referring to Form N-PX (for SEI Funds) or by contacting your client service representative. Certain SIMC clients have either retained the ability to vote proxies with respect to their account, or have delegated that proxy voting authority to a third-party selected by the client. In those circumstances, SIMC is not responsible for voting proxies in the account or for overseeing the voting of such proxies by the client or its designated agent. With respect to those clients for which SIMC does not conduct proxy voting, clients should work with their custodians to ensure they receive their proxies and other solicitations for securities held in their account. Clients may contact their client service representative if they have a question on particular proxy voting matters or solicitations.  Item 18 – Financial Information Registered investment advisors are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about SIMC’s financial condition. SIMC has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

It is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEIC”), a publicly traded diversified financial services firm (NASDAQ: SEIC) headquartered in Oaks, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. SIMC and its predecessor entities were originally incorporated in 1969. SIMC is investment advisor to various types of investors, including but not limited to, corporate and union sponsored pension plans, public plans, defined contribution plans (including 401(k) plans), endowments, charitable foundations, hospital organizations, banks, trust departments, registered investment advisors, trusts, corporations, high net worth individuals and retail investors. SIMC also serves as the investment advisor to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, private equity funds, interval funds, alternative funds, collective investment trusts and offshore investment funds (together, the “Pooled Investment Vehicles”). Additionally, SIMC serves as the sponsor of and advisor to, managed accounts. SIMC’s total assets under management as of December 31, 2025 were $216,428,500,660, $211,986,837,592 of which it manages on a discretionary basis and $4,441,663,068 on a non-discretionary basis. Institutional Group SIMC offers Outsourced Chief Investment Officer solutions including investment management and investment advisory services directly to institutional clients through SEIC’s business segment called Institutional Investors (the “Institutional Group”). SIMC’s Institutional Group delivers integrated healthcare, retirement and non-profit investment solutions to institutional clients including, but not limited to, corporate and union sponsored pension plans, public plans, defined contribution plans (including 401(k) plans), endowments, charitable foundations, and hospital organizations (each a, “Client” and together the “Clients”). Although we may use “SIMC” and “Institutional Group” interchangeably in this Brochure, when we refer to advisory services, SIMC provides those services. The solutions offered by the Institutional Group are designed to enable Clients to meet financial objectives, reduce business risks and fulfill their due diligence requirements through implemented fiduciary management strategies for defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans, endowments, foundations and other balance sheet assets. The Institutional Group provides customized asset allocation advice to Clients based on the financial objectives, investment objectives, risk tolerance and investment restrictions of the individual Client (“Investment Guidelines”). SIMC uses a proprietary asset allocation methodology to make its initial and ongoing recommendations. SIMC’s methodology uses estimates of the long-term rates of return, volatility and correlations of various asset classes. SIMC also provides comparisons of its performance to relevant benchmarks. SIMC maintains an open architecture investment management platform. The foundation of our approach is strategic asset allocation, and our portfolios are designed to capture opportunities over both the short- term and the long-term. SIMC recommends a strategic asset allocation for each Client based on such Client’s Investment Guidelines, objectives and risk constraints. While this allocation should be the primary focus for a Client to achieve its investment objectives, there may be periods of time in which it is possible to capture shorter-term market opportunities. We seek to implement our advice in the most efficient manner. Further, asset allocation changes are recommended to attempt to improve portfolio returns as well as to reduce risks. When recommending or implementing a Client’s customized asset allocation portfolio, the Institutional Group generally invests Client assets in: (i) SIMC’s Pooled Investment Vehicles; (ii) individual equities or fixed income vehicles; (iii) derivatives; and/or (iv) other investments as otherwise may be agreed. Subject to Client-specific contractual terms, SIMC generally assumes full management responsibilities for the agreed-upon Client portfolio upon, or shortly after, executing an investment management 4  agreement with the Client. As part of the on-boarding process, SIMC will review the Client’s current investment portfolio and work with the Client to determine if any portfolio assets will be retained. In addition to acting as Clients’ investment manager for certain accounts, SIMC may also provide non- fiduciary/non-discretionary oversight services for other Client accounts, or a portion of that other account or security/strategy (“Oversight Services”) as specified in writing with the Client. These services may include reviews of the investment performance and risk metrics of third-party investment products or managers utilized by such Clients, consolidated reporting, financial modeling, asset allocation studies, shadowing of activities, as well as periodic recommendations regarding the investment policy statement and benchmarks relating to assets held within such an account. Clients may choose to custody assets at SEI Private Trust Company (“SPTC”), an affiliate of SIMC. Please see Item 15 for additional information. Direct Alternative Private Fund Investments To the extent that certain of SIMC’s advisory Clients qualify, they will be eligible to invest directly into privately offered third party alternative funds. Investment in these funds involves a significant degree of risk and is an appropriate investment only for those investors who do not require a liquid investment. These funds may be managed by third-party investment advisors selected and overseen by SIMC or selected by the Client either before or after retaining SIMC’s services and overseen by SIMC. SIMC may work with Clients to tailor the direct alternative fund investment strategy to each Client. Since certain affiliates of SIMC provide funds’ accounting and other services to third-party hedge funds, it is possible that some funds in the direct alternative fund program may use a SIMC affiliate for such services, for which that affiliate will earn fees. SIMC seeks to mitigate the risk of such a conflict by conducting the same comprehensive due diligence and selection process with respect to all funds, without any consideration to whether or not the fund has any business relationship with a SIMC affiliate. Derivatives SIMC may recommend certain derivatives for certain Clients. These derivatives may be entered into by SIMC as agent and/or investment adviser to the Client. SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles The Institutional Group may also invest Client assets in the following SIMC Pooled Investment Vehicles to seek to achieve the Client’s investment goals. (a) SEI Funds SIMC serves as the investment advisor to the SEI Mutual Funds (“SEI Funds”), which is a family of SEC- registered mutual funds. Most of the SEI Funds are manager-of-managers funds, which means that SIMC: (i) hires one or more sub-advisors to manage all or a portion of the SEI Funds on a day-to- day basis; (ii) monitors the sub-advisors; (iii) allocates, on a continuous basis, assets of a SEI Fund among the sub- advisors (to the extent a fund has more than one sub-advisor) and, (iv) when necessary replaces sub- advisors. Each sub-advisor makes investment decisions for the assets it manages and continuously reviews, supervises and administers its investment program. SIMC is generally responsible for 5  establishing, monitoring, and administering the investment program of each SEI Fund. With respect to many of the SEI Funds, including, as applicable in combination with the manager-of-managers structure, SIMC directly manages all or a substantial portion of the SEI Funds’ assets directly. Please see Item 8 for additional information on the sub-advisor selection process. SIMC develops various SEI Funds, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals. These SEI Funds are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather the program is designed to enable SIMC to match its Clients with SEI Funds that are consistent with the Client’s Investment Guidelines. Additionally, Clients invested in the SEI Funds may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each SEI Fund. (b) SEI Alternative Funds SIMC also serves as investment advisor for several privately offered investment funds referred to as the “SEI Alternative Funds”. To the extent that certain of SIMC’s Clients qualify, they will be eligible to participate as investors in the SEI Alternative Funds. Investment in the SEI Alternative Funds involves a significant degree of risk and is an appropriate investment only for those investors who do not require a liquid investment. The SEI Alternative Funds may currently be structured in one of three ways; (a) fund-of-funds, meaning that the fund invests in underlying third-party funds; (b) direct, meaning that the fund invests in direct holdings as selected by SIMC or by SIMC appointed third-party sub-advisors; and/or (a) customizable, meaning that a segregated portfolio within a fund, or a dedicated fund, could invest as set forth in (a) and (b) above along with a customizable component wherein the Client participates in tailoring the investments to accommodate its individualized needs or objectives. SIMC has the ultimate responsibility for the investment performance of the SEI Alternative Funds due to its responsibility to select investments and monitor investment portfolios and oversee underlying funds and their managers. Since certain affiliates of SIMC provide accounting and other services to third-party hedge funds, it is possible that some underlying funds in which the SEI Alternative Funds invest may use a SIMC affiliate for such services, for which that affiliate will earn fees. SIMC seeks to mitigate the risk of such a conflict by conducting the same comprehensive due diligence and selection process with respect to all underlying funds, without any consideration to whether or not the underlying funds and their managers have any business relationship with a SIMC affiliate. SIMC offers various SEI Alternative Funds, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals. The SEI Alternative Funds are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather are designed to enable Clients to be matched with an SEI Alternative Fund that is consistent with the Client’s Investment Guidelines. Additionally, Clients invested in the SEI Alternative Funds may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each SEI Alternative Fund, except as described above. SIMC receives compensation either directly as the investment advisor to the SEI Alternative Fund or is paid an advisory fee directly from Clients investing into the SEI Alternative Fund, with the application of proper fee offsetting/crediting in accordance with applicable law. (c) SEI Collective Investment Trusts SIMC may make available certain SEI CITs to its eligible Clients. The SEI CITs are bank-maintained pooled investment vehicles for the collective investment of tax qualified retirement plans and governmental plans and are each intended to be exempt from SEC registration as a security under Section 3(a) (2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and an investment company under Section 3(c) (11) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. 6  SEI Trust Company, an affiliate of SIMC, is a state-chartered trust company regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, which serves as trustee of the SEI CITs, and for which it receives compensation. As the trustee of each SEI CIT, it has retained SIMC to provide investment advice with respect to each SEI CIT. Each SEI CIT invests primarily in one or more underlying SEI Funds, or in an individual SEI Alternative Fund. For certain SEI CITs, SIMC may also perform investment advisory services with respect to managing the asset allocation of the SEI CIT’s underlying investment portfolios. Please see Item 10 for additional information. SIMC receives compensation either directly as the investment advisor to the SEI CIT or is paid an advisory fee directly from Clients investing into the SEI CIT, with the application of proper fee offsetting/crediting in accordance with applicable law. Separately Managed Accounts The Institutional Group may also invest Client assets in separately managed accounts, which may either be managed directly by SIMC or by third party investment advisors selected and overseen by SIMC. When a SIMC-appointed investment advisor directly manages Client assets, the investment advisor will retain discretion to select broker-dealers to execute orders. SIMC, and sub-advisors retaining discretion to manage Client assets, may execute trades directly through third party broker-dealers or through SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”), SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, consistent with their duty to seek best execution. In certain cases, when managing equity-based separately managed accounts strategies, SIMC is provided with the third party investment manager’s investment strategy model (each, a “Model Strategy”) and SIMC will generally execute all equity trades through SIDCO. In most cases, Clients will not be charged commission by SIDCO when SIMC is trading a Model Strategy through SIDCO. In all cases, the Client’s agreement with SIMC will reflect fees for the Model Strategy, including commission charged or waived. See Items 10 and 12 below for more information on SIMC’s brokerage practices. SIMC has a conflict of interest when selecting SIDCO to execute these orders as SIDCO will earn a commission on these orders and SIMC may be motivated to pay a higher commission for trades involving SIDCO compared to a third party broker. SIMC mitigates this conflict through its duty to seek to obtain best execution. In certain cases when executing Model Strategy trades through SIDCO, SIMC has arranged for SIDCO to waive the commission SIDCO would otherwise charge and, instead, a portion of the advisory fee SIMC charges the Client covers these trading costs. Client assets will be invested in accordance with such Client’s investment guidelines. Clients may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on the management of the Client’s assets invested in individual securities. Costs paid by a Client may be more or less than other advisors and/or if such Client paid separately for investment advice, brokerage and other services. To the extent Client wishes to retain a third-party investment advisor selected by the Client, SIMC will also perform a review of the investment advisor. SIMC in its sole discretion may provide due diligence on third party funds or managers selected by a Client (“third party strategies”), including third party strategies that the Client established prior to its relationship with SEI. SIMC does not provide recommendations with respect to such third party strategies, and does not perform due diligence on such third party strategies to the same extent as SIMC selected strategies, unless the Client hires SIMC to have discretion with respect to such third party strategy as specifically requested. SIMC will perform a lower level of due diligence with respect to third party strategies as disclosed to the Client that (i) are below certain asset thresholds within the client portfolio; or (ii) that are anticipated to be removed from the Client portfolio following an initial transition period to SIMC. Additional 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, as “vendors” to provide the selected screens. Each vendor can vary materially 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, Clients can expect that the vendors’ screens 7  will 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. For temporary defensive or liquidity purposes during unusual economic or market conditions, SIMC and/or sub-advisors may (i) invest all or a portion of investor portfolios in cash, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and other short-term obligations that would not ordinarily be consistent with a portfolio’s strategy; and/or (ii) delay or suspend purchases and sales of securities. SIMC or a sub-advisor will only do so only if it believes that the risk of loss outweighs the opportunity for capital gains or higher income. During such time, a portfolio may not achieve its investment goal. LDI Fixed Income Strategy SIMC may implement a custom liability driven investment strategy for certain Clients. The LDI strategy may include a combination of relevant fixed income SEI Funds (e.g., Long Duration Credit Bond Fund, Intermediate Duration Credit Bond Fund, SEI LDI Collective Funds, etc.) and also invest directly in the following types of investments: fixed income securities, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, U.S. Government securities, including U.S. Treasury obligations consisting of separately traded interest and principal component parts of such obligations known as Separately Traded Registered Interest and Principal Securities (“STRIPS”), and interest rate swaps or other interest-rate derivatives entered into by SIMC on behalf of the Client. Use of Affiliates For each of the programs and products described in this Brochure, SIMC hires one or more of its affiliates to perform various services, including transition management services when transitioning Client assets to SIMC from its previous service providers, sub-advisory services, administrative services, custodial services, brokerage and/or other services and such affiliates receive compensation for providing such services. Please refer to Item 10 for additional information. 8  Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Asset Allocation Implementation through SEI Funds, Separately Managed Accounts and /or LDI (a type of Separately Managed Account) (for which SIMC may serve as the investment advisor): Maximum Fee of 125 bps SIMC charges Clients an investment management fee based on the Client’s assets under management, which may be tiered. These fees will be a percentage of the average of the market value of all assets under management on the last trading day of each month in the calendar quarter and of the month immediately preceding the commencement of the calendar quarter. Clients will pay these fees quarterly in arrears. SIMC will either invoice Clients for fees or, with Client’s approval, deduct such fees directly from their custody account if such custody account is maintained with SEI Private Trust Company. The above fees are negotiable. SIMC’s affiliates or third parties may charge Clients additional trust, custody and benefit payment fees. SIMC will offset or credit against the account level investment management fee charged to a Client, to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, an amount equal to any advisory fees received by SIMC or its affiliates from an SEI Fund attributable to that Client’s investment in such product. In certain cases, the amount of the offset or credit could be reduced by the amount of the sub-advisory fees paid by SIMC to the underlying sub-advisors in the product if the Client is separately invoiced for sub-advisory fees. SIMC may also charge Clients performance-based fees. Please see Item 6 for additional information. Asset Allocation Implementation fees will be negotiated on a Client-by-Client basis. Asset Allocation Implementation through SEI’s Alternative Funds and/or SEI Collective Trust Funds: Maximum Fee of 150 bps The maximum investment management fee set forth above may be charged as a product fee or as an investment management fee; therefore, the frequency upon which SIMC will charge a Client these fees will vary. The investment management fees SIMC charges may be calculated differently based on the type of Alternative Fund product (i.e., hedge fund vs. private equity) including, but not limited to, (i) a percentage of the net asset value of the Client’s investment in the applicable product (generally the case for hedge fund products); and (ii) a percentage of the commitment made by a Client to the applicable product which may change to a net asset based fee after a certain period of time (generally the case for private equity products). SIMC will either invoice Clients for fees or, with Client’s approval, deduct such fees directly from their custody account if such custody account is maintained with SEI Private Trust Company. These Alternative Fund fees are negotiable. For certain products, fees may be charged at the fund level (rather than invoiced) and may not be negotiable. For Clients engaging in derivative transactions, SIMC may charge a basis point fee for derivative implementation based upon a notional value of the transaction involved. Asset Allocation Implementation Fees will be negotiated on a Client-by-Client basis. The fees charged by SIMC for these services may be higher or lower than those charged by other investment advisors for similar services. Product Level Fees Fees for SEI Funds Each SEI Fund pays an advisory fee to SIMC that is based on a percentage of the portfolio's average daily net assets, as described in the mutual fund’s prospectus. From such amount, SIMC pays the sub-advisor(s) to the SEI Fund. SIMC’s fund advisory fee varies, but it typically ranges from 0.01% - 1.50% of the 9  portfolio's average daily net assets for its advisory services. Additionally, affiliates of SIMC provide administrative, distribution and transfer agency services to all of the SEI Funds, as described in the SEI Funds’ registration statements. These fees and expenses are paid by the SEI Funds but ultimately are borne by each shareholder of the SEI Funds. SIMC and/or its affiliates may voluntarily waive a portion of the fees to be paid, respectively, by the SEI Funds to SIMC or its affiliates. Clients may have the option to purchase certain SIMC investment products, including the SEI Funds, that SIMC recommends through other brokers or agents not affiliated with SIMC. Fees for Separately Managed Accounts Separate accounts that implement via individual securities will be charged an investment management fee that is a percentage of the average of the market value of all assets in the separate account on the last trading day of each month in the calendar quarter and of the month immediately preceding the commencement of the calendar quarter. The fee is paid quarterly in arrears and/or pro-rated, based on the number of days in which the account was open during the quarter. This fee will either include or be in addition to a separate charge for retained separate account sub-advisors’ fees as set forth in each Client’s investment agreement with SIMC. Except in limited cases when investing through Model Strategies where SIMC has arranged for SIDCO to waive its commission charges (see Item 4 and 12 for more information), SIMC’s fee is separate from and does not include brokerage commissions, dealer spreads and other costs associated with the purchase or sale of securities, Custodian fees, interest, taxes and other separate account expenses. These expenses are the responsibility of the Client. As discussed in Item 4 and 12, for certain Separately Managed Account Model Strategies SIMC has arranged for SIDCO to waive commissions that SIDCO would otherwise charge to execute such trades. Fees for SEI Alternative Funds In general, the share classes of the SEI Alternative Funds available to Clients working with Global Institutions in an investment management capacity do not pay SIMC a separate fee, as those fees are negotiated on a Client-by-Client basis in the investment management agreement executed between SIMC and the Client. To the extent an SEI Alternative Fund pays SIMC a fee, such fees are disclosed in the private placement memorandum. As part of the ongoing product and launch strategy, additional share classes will be developed and exist within certain SEI Alternative Funds that pay SIMC or a SIMC affiliate a fee for management services provided to the fund and are sold through SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”) (the “Broker-sold Share Classes”). SIDCO is paid placement agent fees by the applicable SEI Alternative Fund, SIMC, SIMC’s affiliates or directly by the investor. Broker-sold Share Classes are generally not available to Clients accessing SEI Alternative Funds through an investment management agreement with SIMC described in this Brochure. SIMC does not provide investment management services to investors purchasing Broker-sold Share Classes. Due to differing fee structures and services provided, Client accessing SEI Alternative Funds through an investment management agreement with SIMC may incur total fees that are higher or lower than the fees incurred by investors purchasing Broker-sold Share Classes of SEI Alternative Funds. These arrangements create conflicts of interest, as SIMC and its affiliates have an incentive to offer or include share classes that result in additional compensation. SEI Fixed Income Portfolio Management The Client’s investment advisory fees for SEI Fixed Income Portfolio Management (“SFIPM”) services may be up to .65% of the assets managed by SFIPM, and will be calculated and charged as set forth in each Client’s respective investment management agreement. The Client’s assets in SFIPM are directly managed by SIMC. SIMC may charge a lesser management fee based upon certain criteria (e.g. anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, type of services required, account composition, negotiations with the Client, etc.). SIMC may invest Client assets in affiliated money market funds (where SIMC serves as investment advisor) and this investment may cause the Client to indirectly pay an additional fee to SIMC and/or its affiliates which would be offset/credited against the account level investment management fee charged to a Client in an amount equal to any advisory fees received by SIMC or its affiliates from an affiliated money market fund 10  attributable to that Client’s investment in such product. The fee structure is determined on a Client-by- Client basis and may be negotiable. Oversight Services SIMC may charge Clients a fee for Oversight Services, as described in Item 4 of this Brochure. The Client will be charged a fee which will vary from Client to Client, based on the size and complexity of the Client’s portfolio. The Client may be invoiced for this fee or have the fee deducted from their custody account if such custody account is maintained with SEI Private Trust Company. Additional Compensation In addition to salary and regular incentive compensation (which may include equity awards), certain members may be compensated for new assets, as well as the addition of assets for existing clients and the number of referrals of prospective clients, including cross-border referrals that result in that new business for Institutions. Additionally, Sales representatives will be compensated for recognized net revenue generated through transition related services. Item 6 – Performance Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management In some cases, SIMC has entered into performance fee arrangements with qualified Clients. Unless otherwise noted below, SIMC negotiates its performance fees arrangements on a Client-by-Client basis. SIMC will structure any performance or incentive fee arrangement subject to Section 205(a) (1) of the Advisers Act in accordance with the available exemptions thereunder, including the exemption set forth in Rule 205-3. SIMC’s fee structure generally consists of a base fee and may include a performance fee. The base fee is negotiable on a Client-by-Client basis, and is paid regardless of the account’s performance. A performance fee would be calculated typically by comparing the performance of the specific Client’s portfolio to a benchmark index. A typical benchmark index would be a blend of standard industry benchmarks (e.g., S&P 500 Index) customized to match the specific Client’s portfolio allocation. In such case, SIMC will be entitled to a performance fee if the actual return for the specific Client’s portfolio exceeds the benchmark index. In measuring Clients' assets for the calculation of performance- based fees, SIMC includes realized and unrealized capital gains and losses. Currently, both the base fee and performance fee, if any, are paid quarterly in arrears. SIMC will either invoice the Client or deduct the fees from the Client’s accounts if such custody account is maintained with SPTC. For certain SEI Alternative Funds, SIMC or its affiliate is entitled to either an incentive allocation or a payment in respect of a portion of the profits generated by the fund which is not negotiated on a Client- by-Client basis. Such allocations and payments are made in either one of two ways (i) once investors have received a certain level of distributions or (ii) the investor’s investment has surpassed certain fixed appreciation thresholds. Performance based fee arrangements may create an incentive for SIMC to recommend investments which may be riskier or more speculative than those which would be recommended under a different fee arrangement. Performance based fee arrangements also could create an incentive for SIMC to favor higher fee paying accounts over other accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities. As a result, SIMC may have a financial incentive to invest Client assets through the SEI Alternative Funds. SIMC has a robust Client review process designed and implemented to review the suitability of investments for Client accounts, to ensure that all Clients are treated fairly, and to prevent this conflict from influencing the allocation of investment opportunities among Clients. Please refer to Item 11 for more information on side-by-side management. 11  Item 7 – Types of Clients Please refer to Item 4 for a description of the Clients to whom SIMC generally provides its services. Accounts serviced by the Institutional Group are typically greater than $25 million; however, there is no required minimum account size. SIMC reserves the right to accept accounts less than $25 million in its sole discretion. 12  Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss SIMC’s Overall Investment Philosophy SIMC’s philosophy is based on four key components: asset allocation, portfolio design, implementation, and risk management. SIMC’s philosophy and process offers clients personalization, diversification, coordination and management and represents a strategy geared toward achieving long-term investment goals in various financial climates. Asset Allocation. SIMC’s approach to asset allocation takes clients’ goals into account, along with more traditional inputs such as asset class risk and return expectations. We believe that acknowledging and accounting for common behavioral biases while simultaneously harnessing the power of efficient portfolio construction can help investors maximize the chances of achieving their financial objectives. We also believe that constructing portfolios according to investors’ major financial goals (such as retirement, education or lifestyle) and aligned with the risk tolerance associated with each of those objectives provides a greater understanding of how the goals and investments align. This should allow for a higher level of comfort with the overall investment strategy—thereby increasing the odds that investors will remain invested in the financial markets and focused on achieving their goals rather than making portfolio changes as a reaction to short-term market volatility. We believe that maintaining consistent exposure to the markets over time is the surest way to earn attractive returns, and that doing so with a goals- based approach should help investors achieve their financial goals. In constructing portfolios that correspond with a particular objective, we seek to deliver the maximum expected return available given the goal’s risk tolerance. SIMC constructs multiple model portfolios to address a wide variety of client goals and dedicates considerable resources to evolving our investment offerings to help keep pace with an ever-changing market. Portfolio Design. In terms of portfolio design, SIMC generally attempts to identify alpha source(s), or opportunities for returns in excess of the benchmark, across equity, fixed-income and alternative- investment portfolios. SIMC looks for potential sources of excess return that have demonstrated staying power over the long term across multiple markets in a given geographic region. Alpha sources are classified into broad categories; categorizing them in this manner allows us to create portfolios that are not simply diversified between asset classes (e.g., equity and fixed-income strategies), but also diversified across the underlying drivers of alpha. Implementation. When building portfolios, SIMC seeks to identify, analyze, select, and monitor investment strategies with characteristics that can be expected to outperform the portfolio’s benchmark in the future— through both external investment managers and internally managed portfolios. SIMC may use a multi-manager implementation, which means that SIMC hires sub-advisors (third- party and affiliated) to select individual securities. As a multi-manager, SIMC aims to identify, classify and validate manager skill when choosing sub-advisors. Differentiating manager skill from market- generated returns is one of SIMC’s primary objectives, as it seeks to identify sub-advisors that it believes can deliver superior results over time. SIMC develops forward-looking expectations regarding how a manager will execute a given investment mandate, environments in which the strategy should outperform and environments in which the strategy might underperform. In certain circumstances, SIMC may default to internal managers due to similar risk and return characteristics and similarly positioned results that provide improved pricing. While SEI applies its internal controls and review processes over its internally managed strategies, these controls differ from the processes SIMC uses to oversee third party managers. Due to these differences, SEI will not normally downgrade or replace a recommended SEI-managed strategy as it would with a third party manager, since SEI would address concerns with its managed strategies through its internal 13  processes. SIMC selects sub-advisors based on SIMC's manager research process. SIMC uses proprietary databases and software, supplemented by data from various third parties, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of sub-advisors. The qualitative analysis focuses on a manager's investment philosophy, process, personnel, portfolio construction and performance. Quantitative analysis identifies the sources of a manager's return relative to a benchmark. SIMC typically uses performance attribution models from providers such as Axioma, BlackRock and others in this process. SIMC typically appoints several sub-advisors within a stated asset class. For instance, SIMC will generally have more than one sub-advisor assigned to the large-cap growth asset class. After identifying the investment strategy, factors, and investment managers, SIMC implements a portfolio construction process that seeks to build the optimal portfolio to achieve the stated investment objectives. Strategically, it needs to ensure that the portfolio is sufficiently exposed to targeted factors and an appropriate level of risk (in absolute or benchmark-relative terms, depending on the objective), while remaining suitably diversified. SIMC makes adjustments to the portfolio as needed in order to maintain the balance between sources of risk and return. Tactically, it also adjusts the portfolio throughout the market cycle—leaning more heavily into factors that are expected to outperform in the years ahead and downplaying those expected to underperform. Risk Management. SIMC relies on a risk management group to focus on common risks across and within asset classes. Daily monitoring of assigned portfolio tolerances and deviations result in an active risk mitigation program. SIMC employs a multi-asset risk-management system to provide a consistent view of risk across asset classes—while preserving a distinct separation between risk oversight and portfolio management in order to preserve objectivity. The Investment Risk Management team is responsible for determining whether the risks of SEI’s investment strategies are consistent with their mandates. It reports directly to SEI’s Chief Risk Officer, which helps maintain impartiality and allows for direct access and support from senior management. Governance. In an effort to remain unbiased, SIMC’s governance structure is independent of portfolio management. It includes various oversight committees, which are each chaired by the head of Investment Risk Management. Manager Research Services SIMC offers various manager research services both within SIMC’s MAS program and outside of such program as a stand-alone service. We discuss these services below. 1. Research Fundamental to SIMC’s Investment Management Services (Within SIMC’s MAS program). As a pioneer in the manager-of managers investment approach, a fundamental component of SIMC’s core investment services is researching the available universe of third-party sub-advisor strategies and hiring only those sub-advisors meeting SIMC’s criteria for specific asset classes as sub-advisors within SIMC’s various managed account types, including as sub-advisors to the SEI Funds and foreign pooled funds, as well as making these manager strategies available in SIMC’s sponsored MAS program (both U.S. and global). For the MAS program, SIMC conducts research on the universe of available sub-advisor strategies in order to select and retain sub- advisors SIMC believes are appropriate (or terminate if inappropriate) for the MAS program when SIMC is acting in a fiduciary capacity. And, on occasion SIMC may provide our manager research analysis to certain of our clients investing in this program when requested as part of 14  the investment management services provided. 2. Stand-Alone Research (Outside of SIMC’s MAS program). As an outgrowth of SIMC’s competency in vetting sub-advisor strategies (as noted above), SIMC provides a service in which institutional clients (e.g., banks, large financial service providers, etc.) hire SIMC to conduct research on third- party investment manager strategies as requested by the institutional client. When providing “Stand-Alone Research Services,” SIMC is not hired to act as a discretionary manager to the client, but rather to conduct investment research on any third-party investment manager strategy as directed by the client and in accordance with the research agreement outlining the services provided. Generally, when providing Stand-Alone Research Services: a. The levels of research SIMC conducts on a manager and the manager’s investment strategy will vary based on the contracted level of services, but generally involves either a quantitative and/or qualitative review of the manager and its associated strategy, with written documentation commensurate with the level of service providing insights and, in all cases, summarizing SIMC’s point of view on the manager strategy. Service levels generally differ as to the extent (or depth) of the research SIMC will conduct initially and on- going on the manager strategies selected for research by a client as set forth in the applicable research agreement. b. On occasion, as part of the Stand-Alone Research Services, a client may request SIMC to provide research on a manager investment strategy that is currently used by SIMC within one or more of SIMC’s managed investment programs where SIMC has hired the manager as a sub-advisor (e.g., the manager is a sub-advisor to an SEI Fund or available in MAS) (each, a “SIMC Contracted Strategy”). While the research output provided to the client about a SIMC Contracted Strategy may be the same as the output provided on a third- party manager strategy under the Stand-Alone Research Services, SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies because of its inclusion in SIMC’s MAS program (or as sub- advisor to an SEI Fund) and a result of SIMC’s familiarity with such SIMC Contracted Strategies. This research includes in depth initial and ongoing reviews of the manager’s investment strategy and methodologies, investment personnel, business structure and compliance program. Accordingly, SIMC generally charges Stand- Alone Research Service clients a different fee (generally under a basis point fee schedule) when providing research on SIMC Contracted Strategies. As a result of the pricing model, such fees may be more (or less in some cases) than what SIMC charges clients for research on third-party manager strategies, regardless of the level of research output requested. This differentiated fee schedule is intended to reflect the additional initial and on-going research and due diligence conducted on SIMC Contracted Strategies, including services not generally provided in connection with the Stand-Alone Research Services. If our view of a SIMC Contracted Strategy changes (i.e., 15  downgraded), this change may be reflected in our investment programs (e.g., manager termination/changes) prior to the time we notify research clients of the change in SIMC’s view of the strategy. c. The level of research we conduct on third-party managers depends on client contracted service levels. As a result, if clients with different service levels request research on the same manager investment strategy, clients may receive different levels of analysis output, such as a more detailed manager reports versus shorter analysis summaries. However, in all cases research output includes SIMC’s point of view of the strategy and changes by SIMC in this regard are communicated to all research clients at the same time. strategy available through a d. As part of the Stand-Alone Research Services a client may request SIMC to recommend investment strategies for specified asset classes when the client is adding an additional asset class to its investment program or the client is replacing a current manager’s investment strategy (each, a “Recommended Strategy”). In many cases a Recommend Strategy may be available through several delivery methods, such as through separately managed accounts or through pooled vehicles, such as mutual funds sponsored or managed by the applicable investment manager. While SIMC does not normally consider an investment strategy’s various delivery methods as part of the Research Services, if a client has informed SIMC that it prefers a pooled fund implementation, SIMC will limit its research universe to investment strategies available through a fund implementation. And, SIMC will also provide limited research on the available pooled vehicles. In some cases SIMC may not recommend an investment strategy that it would have otherwise recommended as a result of this product-level review, and will instead recommend a different fund investment manger’s implementation. e. When recommending investment strategies as part of the Stand -Alone Research Services, to the extent an investment strategy meeting the client’s requested asset class/investment style criteria is available, SIMC will first recommend a SIMC Contracted Strategy since SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies. If a Contracted Strategy does not meet the client’s requested criteria, SIMC will then recommend a third party investment strategy based on SIMC’s research of available investment strategies. In certain situations that vary based on how the customer chooses to implement a recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC will earn compensation that it would not earn by recommending an investment strategy not available within SIMC’s current investment programs. For instance, if the customer uses MAS or an SEI Fund to access the recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC, and it some cases, SIMC’s affiliates, would earn fees in addition to the Stand-Alone Research Service fees. Any additional 16  compensation SIMC (or its affiliates) would earn as a result of any such recommendation is disclosed to the client at the time of the recommendation and any use of such recommend investment strategy remains solely with the client. 3. Affiliates Model Platform Services. SIMC’s affiliates provide a technology and operational service platform to deliver to these institutional customers’ manager strategy model data for manager strategies selected by such customers. While these investment models are selected by client independently, and not by SIMC, in many cases SIMC may have provided research on the investment strategies selected by the client under a research contract. In certain cases, SIMC and its affiliate may jointly contract with an institutional client to provide both Stand Alone Research and model delivery services. To the extent that a model platform client selects a SIMC Contracted Strategy for model, SIMC’s affiliate providing model delivery services may agree to reduce or waive its model delivery platform service fee otherwise payable, as SIMC is already receiving model delivery information in connection with its own managed investment programs and, as noted above, generally charges clients more for research on SIMC manager strategies. This fee waiver may create an incentive for SIMC’s client to select a SIMC Contracted Strategy over a non-SIMC Contracted Strategy as a result of the lower model platform delivery fee. SIMC informs clients, which are typically sophisticated financial intermediaries, of this fee structure when contracting with the client for model delivery services. 4. SIMC’s Affiliates Service Sub-Advisors. SIMC’s affiliates provide technology, operational and administrative services to a wide variety of financial service intermediaries, including sub- advisors that may be subject to research ratings by SIMC. While this business relationship could cause a potential conflict of interest by SIMC when rating a manager strategy, to mitigate any conflicts, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEIC program and/or strategy offering. 5. SEI Access Marketplace Select List (the “Select List”). The SEI Access Marketplace is a digital platform developed by SEI Access Platform, LLC (the “Access Platform”), an affiliate of SIMC, to provide access to alternative investments for financial professionals. The SEI Access Marketplace includes subscription processing and educational content. SIMC has been engaged by the Access Platform, through its affiliate SIDCO, to perform certain research services (i.e., the Select List) for the Access Platform. The Select List is a subset of the alternative investment offerings available through the SEI Access Marketplace that have gone through an in-depth due diligence review conducted by, and that have meet certain criteria developed by, SIMC (the “Select List Funds”). In connection with the Select List, SIMC also produces a proprietary due diligence report (the “Select List Due Diligence Report”) for each such Select List Funds which is made available to the financial professionals accessing the SEI Access Marketplace. SIMC’s client under this arrangement is the Access Platform. The Select List, along with the Select List Due Diligence Reports, are made available on the SEI Access Marketplace 17  for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice, a recommendation or an endorsement of the Select List Funds. SIMC may provide recommendations outside of the Select List when making individualized investment recommendations to its advisory clients. Implementation Through Investment Products The foregoing discusses SIMC’s investment philosophy in designing diversified investment portfolios for SIMC’s clients. In most cases, implementation of a client’s investment portfolio is accomplished through investing in a range of investment products, which may include mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, closed- end funds, including interval funds, private equity funds, collective investment trusts, or managed accounts. In order to provide clients with sufficient diversification and flexibility, SIMC manages products across a very wide range of investment strategies. These would include, to varying degrees, large and small capitalization U.S. equities, foreign developed markets equities, foreign emerging markets equity, real estate securities, U.S. investment grade fixed income securities, U.S. high yield (below investment grade) fixed income securities, foreign developed market fixed income securities, emerging markets debt, U.S. and foreign government securities, currencies, structured or asset-backed fixed income securities (including mortgage-backed), municipal bonds and other types of asset classes. SIMC also manages Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) investments and Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLO”) investments within certain investment products. CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. SIMC may also seek to achieve a product’s investment objectives by investing in derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards, options, swaps or other types of derivative instruments. Additionally, SIMC may also seek to achieve an investment product’s objective by investing some or all of its assets in affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, including money market funds. Within a mutual fund product, SIMC may also seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in a wholly owned subsidiary of the mutual fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain of SIMC’s product strategies may also attempt to utilize tax- management techniques to manage the impact of taxes. Further, SIMC may invest SIMC’s alternative funds and interval funds in third-party hedge funds or private equity funds that engage in a wide variety of investment techniques and strategies that carry varying degrees of risks. This may include long-short equity strategies, equity market neutral, merger arbitrage, credit hedging, distressed debt, sovereign debt, real estate, private equity investments, derivatives, currencies or other types of investments. While SIMC’s investment strategies are normally implemented through pooled investment products, certain clients’ assets are invested directly in the target investments through a managed account or other means. The strategies that SIMC implements in such accounts is currently more limited than the breadth of strategies contained in SIMC’s funds, and generally covers U.S. large and small capitalization equity securities, international and emerging market ADRs, REITs, and U.S. fixed income securities, including government securities and municipal bonds. SIMC may also implement strategies involving derivative securities directly within a client’s accounts. Investment Product Strategies Since SIMC implements such a broad range of strategies within its investment products, it would not be practical to set forth in detail each strategy that SIMC has developed for use across its products. The disclosure in this Brochure is not intended to supplant any product-specific disclosure documents. Clients should refer to the prospectus or other offering materials that it receives in conjunction with investing in a SIMC investment product for a detailed discussion of the strategy and risks associated with such product. Moreover, this Form ADV disclosure addresses strategies designed and implemented by SIMC and does not address strategies that are implemented by third parties (e.g., unaffiliated investment advisors, banks, institutions or other 18  intermediaries) through the use of SIMC products. A strategy’s exposure to the foregoing asset classes, including the degree of exposure, is subject to change at any time due to evolving investment philosophies and market conditions. The risks associated with such strategies are also therefore subject to change at any time. Material Risks All strategies implemented by SIMC involve a risk of loss that clients should understand, accept and be prepared to bear. Given the very wide range of investments in which a client’s assets may be invested, either directly by investing in individual securities and/or through one or more pooled investment vehicles or funds, there is similarly a very wide range of risks to which a client’s assets may be exposed. This Brochure does not include every potential risk associated with an investment strategy, or all of the risks applicable to a particular advisory account. Rather, it is a general description of the nature and risks of the strategies and securities and other financial instruments in which advisory accounts may invest. The particular risks to which a specific client might be exposed will depend on the specific investment strategies incorporated into that client’s portfolio. As such, for a detailed description of the material risks of investing in a particular product, the client should, on or prior to investing, also refer to such product’s prospectus or other offering materials. Set forth below are certain material risks to which a client might be exposed in connection with SIMC’s implementation of a strategy for client accounts: Absolute Return – A portfolio that seeks to achieve an absolute return with reduced correlation to stock and bond markets may not achieve positive returns over short or long term periods. Investment strategies that have historically been non-correlated or have demonstrated low correlations to one another or to stock and bond markets may become correlated at certain times and, as a result, may cease to function as anticipated over either short or long term periods. Artificial Intelligence Technology—The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of certain artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning models and generative artificial intelligence (collectively “AI”), may adversely impact markets, the overall performance of a Fund’s investments, or the services provided to a Fund. AI technologies are highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data and complex algorithms, and it is possible that the information provided through use of AI technologies could be insufficient, incomplete, inaccurate or biased, leading to adverse effects for a Fund, including, potentially, operational errors and investment losses. AI technologies and their current and potential future applications, and the regulatory frameworks within which they operate, continue to rapidly evolve, and it is impossible to predict the full extent of future applications or regulations and the associated risks to a Fund. To the extent a Fund invests in companies that are involved in various aspects of AI, the Fund will be affected by the risks of those types of companies, including changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, and changes in government regulation. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. Companies that are extensively involved in AI also may rely heavily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies’ technology. Further, because of the innovative nature of the AI market, outpaced advancement by one company or increasing market share by one company could result in rapid and substantial declines in the value of competing companies. In addition, market reaction to the potential impact of AI could result in excess demand for access to AI-related investments, thereby resulting in accelerated growth in the market value of such companies, which may 19  then be subject to sharp resets in the wake of news or other information that tempers expectations of AI or of particular AI-related companies, thus potentially resulting in periods of high volatility in the price of such securities, which could negatively affect the Funds’ performance. Asset Allocation Risk – The risk that an investment advisor’s decisions regarding a portfolio’s allocation to asset classes or underlying funds will not anticipate market trends successfully. Asset-Backed Securities Risk – Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the portfolio may acquire. Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk – Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as “high yield bonds,” but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return. These risks may be increased in foreign and emerging markets. Call Risk — Issuers of callable bonds may call (redeem) securities with higher coupons or interest rates before their maturity dates. A portfolio may be forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the portfolio’s income. Bonds may be called due to falling interest rates or non-economic circumstances. Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) Risk – CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. CDOs and CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CDO and CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CDOs and CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CDO or CLO, respectively, in which the portfolio invests. CDOs and CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk, which are described below. For example, a liquidity crisis in the global credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and high-yield debt securities and limited liquidity for such instruments. When a portfolio invests in CDOs or CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CDO’s or CLO’s expenses. The impact of expenses is especially relevant when a portfolio invests in the lowest tranche (the “equity tranche”) of a CDO or CLO. At the equity tranche level, expenses of a CDO or CLO may reduce distributions available to the portfolio before impacting distributions available to investors above the equity tranche and thereby disproportionately impact the portfolio’s investment in such CDO or CLO. Commercial Paper Risk — Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured short-term promissory notes issued by corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. Commercial paper is usually sold on a discount basis and has a maturity at the time of issuance generally not exceeding 270 days. The value of commercial paper may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities. The value of commercial paper will tend to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk – Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stock or other securities that may be converted into or exercised for a prescribed amount of common stock at a specified time and price. The value of a convertible security is 20  influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value typically declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline, and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature. Convertible securities may also be rated below investment grade (junk bonds) or may not be rated and are subject to credit risk and prepayment risk. Preferred stocks are nonvoting equity securities that pay a stated fixed or variable rate dividend. Due to their fixed income features, preferred stocks provide higher income potential than issuers’ common stocks, but are typically more sensitive to interest rate changes than an underlying common stock. Preferred stocks are also subject to equity market risk. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities. Preferred stock may also be subject to prepayment risk. Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk – Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as to perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers. Credit Risk – The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. Currency Risk – As a result of investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies a portfolio will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the portfolio would be adversely affected. To the extent that a portfolio takes active or passive positions in securities denominated in foreign currencies it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. Current Market Conditions Risk — A particular investment, or the market value of a portfolio’s investments in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. Unexpected changes in interest rates could lead to significant market volatility or reduce liquidity in certain sectors of the market. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad may adversely impact the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could negatively impact a portfolio’s investments and operations. In particular, the imposition of tariffs on foreign countries has led to retaliatory tariffs by certain foreign countries and could lead to retaliatory tariffs imposed by additional foreign countries, as well as increased and prolonged market volatility, and sector- specific downturns in industries reliant on international trade. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. If any geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets and individual securities may be adversely affected, and the value of a portfolio’s assets may decline. Additional examples of events that have led to fluctuations in markets include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments and businesses, elevated inflation levels and problems in the banking sector. Additionally, advancements in technologies such as AI may also adversely impact markets, disrupt existing industries and sectors and dislocate opportunities in the labor force, which could negatively affect the overall performance of a portfolio. Depositary Receipts Risk – Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks 21  associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. Derivatives Risk – A portfolio’s use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market risk are described below. Many over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. A portfolio’s use of forward contracts and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of these risks could cause a portfolio to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the portfolio’s initial investment. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. The portfolio’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by investors. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and implemented regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear. Duration Risk – Longer-term securities in which a portfolio may invest tend to be more volatile than shorter term securities. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration. Environment, Social and Governance Investment Criteria Risk – If a portfolio is subject to certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities, or may sell certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the application of portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively or negatively, depending on whether these issuers, industries, sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor. An adviser or vendor can vary materially from other ESG advisers and vendors with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios or screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a result, an adviser’s or vendor’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG advisers or vendors with respect to the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria is dependent on data and is subject to the risk that such data reported by issuers or received from third party sources may be subjective, or may be objective in principal but not verified or reliable. Equity Market Risk – The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Equity market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole. Equity markets may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk (including leveraged ETFs) – The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities or other instruments the ETF is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Leveraged ETFs contain all of the risks that non- leveraged ETFs present. Additionally, to the extent the portfolio invests in ETFs that achieve leveraged exposure to their underlying indexes through the use of derivative instruments, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to leverage risk, described below. Leveraged Inverse ETFs seek to provide investment results that match a negative multiple of the performance of an 22  underlying index. To the extent that the portfolio invests in Leveraged Inverse ETFs, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to the risk that the performance of such ETF will fall as the performance of that ETF’s benchmark rises. Leveraged and Leveraged Inverse ETFs often “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. These investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose a portfolio to significant losses. When a portfolio invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF’s expenses. See also, “Exchange-Traded Products Risk”, below. Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) Risk — The risks of owning interests of an ETP, such as an ETF, ETN or exchange-traded commodity pool, generally reflect the same risks as owning the underlying securities or other instruments that the ETP is designed to track. The shares of certain ETPs may trade at a premium or discount to their intrinsic value (i.e., the market value may differ from the net asset value of an ETP’s shares). For example, supply and demand for shares of an ETF or market disruptions may cause the market price of the ETF to deviate from the value of the ETF’s investments, which may be emphasized in less liquid markets. The value of an ETN may also differ from the valuation of its reference market or instrument due to changes in the issuer’s credit rating. By investing in an ETP, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, the portfolio indirectly bears the proportionate share of any fees and expenses of the ETP. Because certain ETPs may have a significant portion of their assets exposed directly or indirectly to commodities or commodity-linked securities, developments affecting commodities may have a disproportionate impact on such ETPs and may subject the ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Extension Risk – The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security’s value. Fixed Income Market Risk —The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. Markets for fixed income securities may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long- term. In response to these events, a portfolio’s value may fluctuate. Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk – The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries. Investments in emerging markets are subject to the added risk that information in emerging market investments may be unreliable or outdated due to differences in regulatory, accounting or auditing and financial record keeping standards, or because less information about emerging market investments is publicly available. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with emerging market investments may be different than investments in developed markets. A lack of reliable information, rights and remedies increase the risks of investing in emerging markets in comparison to more developed markets. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the 23  portfolio to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the portfolio. Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — The risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. Income Risk – The possibility that a portfolio’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. Inflation Protected Securities Risk – The value of inflation protected securities, including TIPS, generally will fluctuate in response to changes in “real” interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal (or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In addition, interest payments on inflation- indexed securities will generally vary up or down along with the rate of inflation. Interest Rate Risk – The risk that a change in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities in which the portfolio invests. Generally, the value of a portfolio’s fixed income securities will vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by a portfolio. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Interval Fund Risk – See also, “Investment Company Risk” below. Unlike many closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, an interval fund typically does not intend to list its shares for trading on any securities exchange and does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares in the foreseeable future. Therefore, an investment in an interval fund, unlike an investment in a typical closed-end fund, is not a liquid investment. An interval fund is designed primarily for long- term investors and not as a trading vehicle. An interval fund will, subject to applicable law, conduct quarterly repurchase offers of a portion of its outstanding shares at net asset value. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their Shares repurchased. Even though an interval fund will make quarterly repurchase offers, you should consider the Shares to be illiquid. Investment Company Risk – When a portfolio invests in an investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company’s expenses. In addition, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, a portfolio may be subject to additional or different risks than if the portfolio had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Closed-end investment companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value. As a result, a closed- end fund’s share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund. See also, “Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) Risk” and “Interval Fund Risk” above. Investment Style Risk – The risk that the portfolio’s strategy may underperform other segments of the markets or the markets as a whole. 24  Large Capitalization Risk – The risk that larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies. Leverage Risk – A portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in the portfolio’s total investment exposure substantially exceeding the value of its securities and the portfolio’s investment returns depending substantially on the performance of securities that the portfolio may not directly own. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the portfolio's value and may also cause the portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The portfolio’s use of leverage may result in a heightened risk of investment loss. Liquidity Risk – The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the portfolio would like. The portfolio may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on portfolio management or performance. Master Limited Partnership (MLP) Risk – Investments in units of master limited partnerships involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of master limited partnerships have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment in units of master limited partnerships. In addition, conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders, subordinated unit holders and the general partner of a master limited partnership, including a conflict arising as a result of incentive distribution payments. The benefit the portfolio derives from investment in MLP units is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships and not as corporations for federal income tax purposes. If an MLP were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, there would be reduction in the after- tax return to the portfolio of distributions from the MLP, likely causing a reduction in the value of the portfolio. MLP entities are typically focused in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors of the economy could have an adverse impact on the portfolio. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Money Market Funds – With respect to an investment in money market funds, an investment in the money market fund is not a bank deposit nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund may seek to maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, you may lose money by investing in the money market fund. A money market fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. This could have a significant adverse effect on the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, and, in extreme circumstances, could cause the fund liquidate completely. Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk – Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage- backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the portfolio’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the portfolio’s expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate 25  environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancing and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the portfolio. Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk – Mortgage dollar rolls, or “covered rolls,” are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities (usually mortgage-backed securities) and simultaneously contracts to repurchase, typically in 30 or 60 days, substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, a portfolio forgoes principal and interest paid on such securities. A portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “drop”), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. At the end of the roll commitment period, a portfolio may or may not take delivery of the securities it has contracted to purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash settlement and initially may involve only a firm commitment agreement by the portfolio to buy a security. A “covered roll” is a specific type of mortgage dollar roll for which there is an offsetting cash position or cash equivalent securities position that matures on or before the forward settlement date of the mortgage dollar roll transaction. As used herein, the term “mortgage dollar roll” refers to mortgage dollar rolls that are not “covered rolls.” If the broker-dealer to whom a portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Other risks involved in entering into mortgage dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the security may change adversely over the term of the mortgage dollar roll and that the security a portfolio is required to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the portfolio originally held. Municipal Securities Risk – Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer- term securities usually respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer’s current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by a portfolio. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of a portfolio’s holdings. As a result, a portfolio will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a portfolio that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be underwritten or guaranteed by a relatively small number of financial services firms, so changes in the municipal securities market that affect those firms may decrease the availability of municipal instruments in the market, thereby making it difficult to identify and obtain appropriate investments for the portfolio. Also, there may be economic or political changes that impact the ability of issuers of municipal securities to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by the portfolio. Any changes in the financial condition of municipal issuers also may adversely affect the value of the portfolio’s securities. Non-Diversified Risk – To the extent that a portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. The portfolio may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic, political, or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. Opportunity Risk – The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other investments. Options — An option is a contract between two parties for the purchase and sale of a financial 26  instrument for a specified price at any time during the option period. Unlike a futures contract, an option grants the purchaser, in exchange for a premium payment, a right (not an obligation) to buy or sell a financial instrument. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. The seller of an uncovered call (buy) option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the call option without ever getting the opportunity to execute the option. The seller (writer) of a covered put (sell) option (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) will suffer a loss if the increase in the market price of the underlying security is greater than the premium received from the buyer of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the put option without ever getting the opportunity to exercise the option. An option’s time value (i.e., the component of the option’s value that exceeds the in-the-money amount) tends to diminish over time. Even though an option may be in-the-money to the buyer at various times prior to its expiration date, the buyer’s ability to realize the value of an option depends on when and how the option may be exercised. For example, the terms of a transaction may provide for the option to be exercised automatically if it is in-the-money on the expiration date. Conversely, the terms may require timely delivery of a notice of exercise, and exercise may be subject to other conditions (such as the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, such as knock-in, knock-out or other barrier events) and timing requirements, including the “style” of the option. Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them;(iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) though a portfolio will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security. Overlay Risk – To the extent that a client’s portfolio is implemented through an overlay manager, it is subject to the risk that its performance may deviate from the performance of a sub-advisor’s model or the performance of other proprietary or client accounts over which the sub-advisor retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). The overlay manager’s variation from the sub- advisor’s model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including under performance. The overlay manager will vary from a model portfolio to, among other reasons, implement tax management strategies, as applicable, and security restrictions. The overlay manager is restricted from purchasing certain securities due to the issuer’s affiliation with SEI or the overlay manager, or due to the overlay manager’s compliance with laws, regulations, and policies that apply to the business activities of its affiliates. In addition, a sub- advisor may implement its model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to the overlay manager. In these circumstances, trades placed by the overlay manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the client’s portfolio receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the sub-advisor for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded. Portfolio Turnover Risk – To the extent that a portfolio buys and sells securities frequently, such activity may result in higher transaction costs and taxes subject to ordinary income tax rates as opposed to more favorable capital gains rates, which may affect the portfolio’s performance. To the extent that a portfolio invests in an underlying fund the portfolio will have no control over the turnover of the underlying fund. Prepayment Risk – The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities 27  with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring a portfolio to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates. Private Placements Risk – Investment in privately placed securities, including interests in private equity and hedge funds, may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the portfolio, the carrying value of such securities or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. Quantitative Investing – A quantitative investment style generally involves the use of computers to implement a systematic or rules-based approach to selecting investments based on specific measurable factors. Due to the significant role technology plays in such strategies, they carry the risk of unintended or unrecognized issues or flaws in the design, coding, implementation or maintenance of the computer programs or technology used in the development and implementation of the quantitative strategy. These issues or flaws, which can be difficult to identify, may result in the implementation of a portfolio that is different from that which was intended, and could negatively impact investment returns. Such risks should be viewed as an inherent element of investing in an investment strategy that relies heavily upon quantitative models and computerization. Utility interruptions or other key systems outages also can impair the performance of quantitative investment strategies. Reallocation Risk – SIMC constructs and maintains global asset allocation strategies for certain clients, and the SEI funds are designed in part to implement those Strategies. Within the Strategies, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the mutual funds to ensure that the appropriate mix of assets is in place. SIMC also may create new Strategies that reflect significant changes in allocation among the mutual funds. Because a significant portion of the assets in the mutual funds may be attributable to investors in Strategies controlled or influenced by SIMC, this reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the mutual funds. Although reallocations are intended to benefit investors that invest in the mutual funds through the Strategies, they could, in certain cases, have a detrimental effect on the mutual funds. Such detrimental effects could include: transaction costs, capital gains and other expenses resulting from an increase in portfolio turnover; and disruptions to the portfolio management strategy, such as foregone investment opportunities or the inopportune sale of securities to facilitate redemptions. Real Estate Industry Risk – Securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may be subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. If a portfolio’s investments are concentrated in issuers conducting business in the real estate industry, the portfolio may be is subject to risks associated with legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting that industry. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) – REITs are trusts that invest primarily in commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. Investments in REITs are subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate which is discussed above. Some REITs may have limited diversification and may be subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of properties. Repurchase Agreement Risk — Although a portfolio’s repurchase agreement transactions will be fully collateralized at all times, they generally create leverage and involve some counterparty risk to the portfolio whereby a defaulting counterparty could delay or prevent the portfolio’s recovery of collateral. Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk- Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions in which a 28  portfolio sells securities to financial institutions, such as banks and broker-dealers, and agrees to repurchase them at a mutually agreed-upon date and price that is higher than the original sale price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve risks. Reverse repurchase agreements are a form of leverage, and the use of reverse repurchase agreements by a portfolio may increase volatility. Reverse repurchase agreements are also subject to the risk that the other party to the reverse repurchase agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a portfolio may decline below the price at which it is obligated to repurchase the securities. In addition, when a portfolio invests the proceeds it receives in a reverse repurchase transaction, there is a risk that those investments may decline in value. In this circumstance, the portfolio could be required to sell other investments in order to meet its obligations to repurchase the securities. Risks of Cyber-Attacks- As with any entity that conducts business through electronic means in the modern marketplace, a portfolio, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized monitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential information, unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the portfolio and its service providers use to service the portfolio’s operations, ransomware, operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the portfolio and its service providers, or various other forms of cyber security breaches. Cyber-attacks affecting a portfolio may adversely impact the portfolio potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses or the inability of to transact business. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of transactions, cause the release of private portfolio information or confidential information, impede trading, subject the portfolio to regulatory fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. The portfolio may also incur additional costs for cyber security risk management purposes designed to mitigate or prevent the risk of cyber-attacks. Such costs may be ongoing because threats of cyber-attacks are constantly evolving as cyber attackers become more sophisticated and their techniques become more complex. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which a portfolio may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the portfolio’s investment in such companies to lose value. There can be no assurance that the portfolio, its service providers, or the issuers of the securities in which it invests will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future. Sampling Risk – With respect to investments in index funds or a portfolio designed to track the performance of an index, a fund or portfolio may not fully replicate a benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund or portfolio may not track the return of its benchmark index as well as it would have if the fund or portfolio purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index. Short Sales— When a portfolio engages in short sales, the proceeds from the sales may be used to purchase long positions in additional equity securities believed will outperform the market or its peers. This strategy may effectively result in the portfolio having a leveraged investment portfolio, which results in greater potential for loss. Leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on a portfolio’s share price and make it’s returns more volatile. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the securities. The use of leverage may also cause a portfolio to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. Small and Medium Capitalization Risk – Small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger 29  companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over the counter (OTC). OTC stocks may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than exchange-listed stocks and may have more price volatility than that of exchange-listed stocks. Structured Securities Risk – A portfolio may invest a portion of assets in entities organized and operated solely for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics of sovereign debt obligations of emerging market issuers. This type of restructuring involves the deposit with, or purchase by, an entity, such as a corporation or trust, of specified instruments (such as commercial bank loans or Brady Bonds) and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of securities (“Structured Securities”) backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying instruments. The cash flow on the underlying instruments may be apportioned among the newly issued Structured Securities to create securities with different investment characteristics, such as varying maturities, payment priorities and interest rate provisions, and the extent of the payments made with respect to Structured Securities is dependent on the extent of the cash flow on the underlying instruments. Because Structured Securities of the type in which the portfolio anticipates it will invest typically involve no credit enhancement, the credit risk will generally be equivalent to that of the underlying instruments. A portfolio is permitted to invest in a class of Structured Securities that is either subordinated or unsubordinated to the right of payment of another class. Subordinated Structured Securities typically have higher yields and present greater risks than unsubordinated Structured Securities. Structured Securities are typically sold in private placement transactions, and there currently is no active trading market for Structured Securities. Certain issuers of such Structured Securities may be deemed to be “investment companies” as defined in the 1940 Act. Taxation Risk – 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. Unless otherwise disclosed, tax-management techniques are limited to, and take into consideration only, the securities held within the individual client account managed by SIMC. The impact of such tax management techniques and strategies may be reduced or eliminated as a result of securities and trading activities in other accounts owned by client, including other client accounts managed by SIMC. 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. A portfolio that is managed to reduce tax consequences to Clients will likely still earn taxable income and gains from time to time, including income subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. In certain instances, when harvesting losses from the sale of an ETF or mutual fund (Original Fund), SIMC may seek to avoid a wash sale while maintaining exposure to the desired asset class. SIMC may do so through the purchase of another ETF or mutual fund (Secondary Fund). Certain strategies may require SIMC to sell the Secondary Fund upon the expiration of the wash-sale period and return to the Original Fund, which may result in short- or long-term gains. Certain portfolio assets may be subject to Section 351 tax treatment. The availability of Section 351 treatment depends on the satisfaction of specific legal and factual requirements, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question or successfully challenge the qualification of any such contribution, whether at the time of contribution or in a subsequent examination. If a contribution of securities is ultimately determined not to qualify for Section 351 treatment, the contribution would be treated as a taxable transaction, and the contributing shareholder would recognize gain or loss on the contributed securities at the time of the contribution. If such a determination is made after the contribution, the shareholder may have previously misreported the tax consequences of the transaction and could be required to amend prior tax returns. In addition, any subsequent disposition of fund shares by the contributing shareholder could be affected by an incorrect initial tax basis, resulting in additional tax liability, interest, or penalties. In order to pay tax- exempt interest, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the portfolio to shareholders to be taxable. Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of tax-exempt securities to fall. The federal income tax treatment on payments with respect to certain derivative contracts is unclear. Consequently, a portfolio may receive 30  payments that are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. To the extent a portfolio invests in ETFs, mutual funds or other pooled products, you should review the applicable prospectus or offering document for additional tax disclosure, including relevant risks. Neither SIMC nor its affiliates provide tax advice. To-Be-Announced (TBA) Transactions — A portfolio may be exposed to TBA transactions risk through its investments in derivatives. In TBA transactions, the selling counterparty does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the purchasing counterparty agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the portfolio’s other assets. In addition, the selling counterparty may not deliver the security as promised. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the portfolio to potential loss and could affect the portfolio’s returns. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to the settlement date. Tracking Error Risk – 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 portfolio's investments and the components of the index and other factors. Underlying Funds Risk – With respect to portfolios that invest in underlying funds, additional investment risk exists because the value of such investments is based primarily on the performance of the underlying funds. Specifically with respect to alternative funds, the entity’s sponsors will make investment and management decisions. Therefore, an underlying fund’s returns are dependent on the investment decisions made by its management and the portfolio will not participate in the management or control the investment decisions of the alternative fund. Further, the returns on a portfolio may be negatively impacted by liquidity restrictions imposed by the governing documents of an alternative fund such as “lock-up” periods, gates, redemption fees and management’s ability to suspend redemptions (in certain cases). Such lock- up periods, gates or suspensions may restrict the portfolio’s ability to exit from an alternative fund in accordance with the intended business plan and prevent the portfolio from liquidating its position upon favorable terms. All of these factors may limit the portfolio’s return under certain circumstances. U.S. Government Securities Risk – Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are still subject to the credit risk of the U.S. Government and are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so. Warrants Risk - Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Warrants may be more speculative than other types of investments. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. 31  Item 9 – Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of SIMC or the integrity of SIMC’s management. SIMC has no information applicable to this Item. 32  Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations SIMC, which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SEIC hires affiliates and third parties to perform services for SIMC and its clients. Some of these relationships could create conflicts of interest. These relationships are described below. Hiring of Managers and Sub-Advisors As a manager-of-managers, SIMC hires sub-advisors to provide day-to-day securities selection for its investment products. SIMC has hired an affiliated advisor, LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), to serve as sub-advisor to some of SIMC’s investment products. Specifically, SIMC’s parent company, SEIC, maintains a minority ownership interest (approximately 39% as of December 31, 2025 in LSV), which is a sub-advisor in the Funds and some separately managed accounts. SIMC is incentivized to hire and recommend LSV as a sub-advisor to increase its earnings with respect to its ownership interest. To mitigate this conflict of interest, each sub- advisor, regardless of whether it is affiliated or unaffiliated is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable program and/or strategy offering. Additionally, to the extent LSV is managing SEI Fund assets, it is subject to the same Board of Trustees approval process as non-affiliated sub-advisors and the affiliation is disclosed in the SEI Fund prospectuses. SIMC also hires sub-advisors for its investment products who may also be investment advisors/sub-advisors to other investment products offered by SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Therefore, SIMC has an incentive to recommend a firm for sub-advisory services for its investment products because they are also providing services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. To address this conflict, SIMC conducts the same due diligence on all sub-advisors regardless of whether they provide other services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Additionally, some of the sub-advisors that SIMC selects for its Funds and Separately Managed Accounts may also be customers of SEIC for other services and products (e.g., technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn-key pooled product solutions) for which SIMC’s affiliates may be compensated, which could influence SIMC’s decisions when recommending or retaining sub-advisors. To mitigate these conflicts of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEI program and/or strategy offering. Also, potential conflicts identified are raised to the Board of Trustees of the SEI Funds or to SIMC Compliance prior to the sub-advisor being hired by SIMC. Investment Products SIMC not only provides investment management and advisory services to individuals and institutions, it also serves as the investment advisor to its investment products, including the SEI Funds (including subsidiaries of such Funds),SEI ETFs, SEI Interval Fund, SEI Alternative Funds, and SEI CITs. Additionally, SIMC is the sponsor to, and the advisor of, managed accounts, including managed account solutions (“MAS”) which is offered to clients through a separate SEIC market unit. SIMC may invest its Clients into these and other products. Therefore, the Client may pay SIMC investment advisory fees which are agreed to in the Client’s investment advisory agreement, and pay SIMC investment advisory fees through the underlying investment products. However, SIMC generally, and to the extent required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and other applicable law, will offset or credit any advisory fees earned by SIMC with respect to a Client’s investment in an underlying investment product against that Client’s account level fee. SEI Funds Other affiliates of SIMC provide various services to the SEI Funds (including subsidiaries of such Funds), for which they receive compensation. Specifically, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SGFS”) serves as administrator, and SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”), serves as the distributor of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and the SEI Alternative Funds. SEI Institutional Transfer Agent, Inc. (“SITA”) serves as 33  transfer agent for most of the SEI Funds. SIDCO and SPTC also provide shareholder services with respect to the Funds and SEI ETFs. SIMC, SGFS, SITA, SIDCO and SPTC receive fees from the SEI Funds determined as a percentage of the SEI Fund's total assets. and, SIMC receives fees from the SEI ETFs determined as a percentage of the SEI Fund's total assets and out of these assets pays the fees of the funds’ other service providers, including to SIMC affiliates. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a Client invests in the SEI Funds or SE ETFs, SIMC’s affiliates benefit from the investment in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for a Client, if applicable, such investments will be allocated in a manner which SIMC determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances in respect to all of its other clients. Some SEI Funds are “funds-of-funds,” meaning that an SEI Fund will invest in underlying funds, which in most cases will be other SEI Funds. When an SEI Fund invests in underlying SEI Funds, SIMC is advisor to both the fund-of-funds and the underlying SEI Funds and is paid an advisory fee by both Funds. As a result, SIMC could select those underlying SEI Funds that pay higher advisory fees to SIMC. To mitigate this risk, the SEI Funds are overseen by the SEI Funds’ Board of Trustees, which ensures that SIMC does not factor in the level of fees in its decision in the allocation of underlying SEI Funds in the fund-of- funds. SEI Alternative Funds Affiliates of SIMC (SEI Funds, Inc. and SEI Investment Strategies, LLC) serve as the general partner or director to several of the SEI Alternative Funds. SEI Global Services, Inc. or SEI Investments Global (Cayman) Limited also serves as administrator and transfer agent to certain SEI Alternative Funds. Collective Trust Funds SEI Trust Company (”STC”), a Pennsylvania chartered trust company, serves as trustee and investment manager to various collective trust funds in which SIMC invests certain Client’s assets (to the extent they are eligible). SIMC also acts as an investment advisor to STC, and SITA as transfer agent, with respect to the various collective trust funds offered by STC. Non-U.S. Investors SIMC serves as investment advisor to proprietary Irish-regulated UCITS Funds (and other alternative funds), which are sold to non-US investors. SIMC also serves as sub-advisor to several proprietary Canadian-registered mutual funds to which SIMC’s affiliates serve as advisor and also serves as advisor to its UK affiliate on behalf of its institutional Clients. Non-US institutional clients of SIMC affiliates may also invest in the SEI Alternative Funds. Affiliated Registered Investment Advisers – Stratos In December 2025, SEIC completed the first stage of its strategic investment in Stratos Wealth Holdings ("Stratos"), where SEIC owns 57.5% of the holding company that holds the equity of Stratos Wealth Advisors, LLC, Stratos Wealth Partners, Ltd. and their subsidiaries (collectively, the " Stratos-Affiliated RIAs"). As a result of this investment, SIMC and the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs are under common ownership. SIMC and Stratos-Affiliated RIAs each operate as a separate registered investment adviser with its own management, compliance program, and fiduciary obligations. Stratos-Affiliated RIAs may utilize SIMC managed strategies, models, programs and/or products available through IAS. In these arrangements, SIMC provides investment management or related services, while the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs remain responsible for the client relationship, including determining suitability and providing investment advice, as applicable. SIMC may negotiate fees with Stratos-Affiliated RIAs based on AUM, client fees, or such other arrangements as agreed to between SIMC and Stratos-Affiliated RIAs. Such fee arrangements will be disclosed as required by law or regulation. This common ownership structure creates conflicts of interest, including incentives to recommend strategies, models, programs and/or products that are affiliated with SIMC or otherwise increase its [compensation] or that of its affiliates. These conflicts are mitigated through the separation of supervisory and advisory responsibilities among the Stratos-Affiliated 34  RIAs and SIMC. Additional information regarding the Stratos-Affiliated RIA’s business practices, services, and conflicts is provided in their respective Form ADV brochures. Affiliated Custodian Clients typically choose to custody their accounts at SIMC’s affiliate, SPTC, a limited purpose federal savings association. SPTC charges the Client a fee for these services. In many cases the Client’s investment management agreement with SIMC specifies that SIMC will pay SPTC the agreed-upon fee out of the fees SIMC charges the Client under the investment management agreement. SPTC may also provide trust, custody and/or record-keeping services to SIMC’s other clients, including some of the Pooled Investment Vehicles. SPTC’s services may be provided at a discount or without additional client charge. In connection with providing shareholder services to clients invested in the SEI Funds, SPTC receives a shareholder service fee from certain of the SEI Funds for providing those services. If a client custodies assets at SPTC, SPTC provides a cash sweep service into an SEI money market mutual fund, and if elected, SIMC will earn additional fees, as an advisor to the SEI money market fund. Please see Item 5 for additional information on fees. Affiliated Broker-Dealer As explained in this Brochure, SIMC or SIMC’s sub-advisors will execute certain brokerage transactions using SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO. SIDCO also receives shareholder service, administration service and/or distribution fees from certain of the SEI Funds, portions of which are paid by SIDCO to affiliates or third parties that provide such services. SIDCO also receives distribution or creation unit servicer fees from certain third-party ETFs and their sponsors when providing services to those firms under services agreement between SIDCO and such firms. A conflict of interest exists because SIDCO may earn additional fees to the extent that such ETFs are purchased by an SEI Fund. SIMC anticipates that any resultant increase in fees payable to SIDCO would be immaterial. In addition, certain SIMC employees are also registered representatives of SIDCO. In certain cases, individuals affiliated with both SIMC and SIDCO will receive compensation in connection with their role as a SIDCO representative. See Item 4 and 12 for additional information on SIMC’s use of broker-dealers, including SIDCO. Commodity Pool Operator and SWAP Firm SIMC is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) and SWAP Firm with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and certain SIMC employees are registered with the CFTC as Principals and/or Associated Persons. 35  Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics and Personal Trading When SIMC employees have access to nonpublic information, conflicts may arise between the interests of the employee and those of a client. For example, a SIMC employee could gain information on the purchase or sale of securities by a SIMC client, or portfolio holdings information for a particular client. The SIMC employee could use this information to take advantage of available investment opportunities, take an investment opportunity from a client for the employee’s own portfolio, or front-run (which occurs when an employee trades in his or her personal account before making client transactions). As a fiduciary, SIMC owes a duty of loyalty to clients, which requires that a SIMC employee must always place the interests of clients first and foremost and shall not take inappropriate advantage of his/her position. Thus SIMC personnel must conduct themselves and their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not create conflicts with the firm. SIMC has adopted a Code of Ethics to reinforce to its employees our SIMC principles of integrity and ethics, and to enforce compliance with applicable regulations and best practices. Under the SIMC Code of Ethics, SIMC employees that are characterized as Access Persons and their family members with whom they reside must disclose personal securities holdings and personal securities transactions. Access Persons are SIMC employees that have access to non-public information regarding any client’s purchase or sale of securities or who are involved in making, or have non-public access to, securities recommendations to clients. Access Persons are also subject to certain trade pre-clearance and reporting standards for their personal securities transactions. Additionally, certain Access Persons may not purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any “Covered Security” (which is defined in the Code of Ethics) within 24 hours before or after the time that the same Covered Security is being purchased or sold in any SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Some Access Persons may not purchase or sell such securities within seven days of a transaction for a SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Certain Access Persons also may not profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of a Covered Security within 60 days of acquiring or disposing of beneficial ownership of that Covered Security. Finally, Access Persons may not acquire securities as part of an initial public offering or a private placement transaction without the prior consent of SIMC Compliance. The Code of Ethics also includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information and market timing, and also incorporates SEIC’s insider trading policy by reference. All supervised persons at SIMC are trained on the Code of Ethics and must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics upon hire and on an annual basis. SIMC anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which SIMC has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which SIMC, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position or interest. SIMC’s employees and persons associated with SIMC are required to follow SIMC’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of SIMC and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for SIMC’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of SIMC will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is monitored under the Code of Ethics, to seek to prevent conflicts of interest between SIMC and its clients. Clients and prospects may request a copy of SIMC’s Code of Ethics by e-mailing SIMCCompliance@seic.com or sending a request to: SEI Investments Management Corporation, Attn: SIMC Compliance, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456. 36  Participation or Interest in Client Transactions (Side-by-Side Management) As explained above, among its other recommendations, SIMC recommends its Clients invest in Pooled Investment Vehicles to which SIMC also serves as investment advisor and its affiliates may provide other services when SIMC believes such recommendation is appropriate for the Client. For example, SIMC, as investment manager to a Client, may recommend that they invest in the SEI Funds, SEI’s ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds, SEI Interval Funds or a managed account, where SIMC also serves as investment advisor and receives a fee for those services. This creates a conflict of interest whereby SIMC has a financial incentive to recommend an unsuitable SIMC investment product to a SIMC Client in order for SIMC and its affiliates to receive additional fees. SIMC discloses its fees in the offering documents for each Pooled Investment Vehicle. In addition, when SIMC and/or its affiliates have a material pecuniary interest in either the SEI Funds, SEI Interval Funds or SEI Alternative Funds (“Interested Vehicle”), a conflict of interest may exist whereby SIMC has an additional financial incentive to ensure that such Interested Vehicle performs well to increase its return on investment. Furthermore, SIMC and its portfolio managers have an incentive to allocate investment opportunities to such Interested Vehicle in a way that favors SIMC and its affiliates over the interest of its clients and other investors. Notwithstanding these conflicts of interest, SIMC may aggregate transactions of an Interested Vehicle with other SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles as long as SIMC has determined pursuant to its allocation procedures that participation by such SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles is fair and equitable. Further, SIMC may aggregate transactions for an Interested Vehicle and an SEI Fund involving private placement securities as long as the only negotiated term for such private placement securities is price. SIMC has adopted trade aggregation procedures (“Aggregation Procedures”) designed to ensure that aggregated transactions are made in a manner that is fair and equitable to, and in the best interests of, the SEI Fund and any other participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles. The Aggregation Procedures require the portfolio manager of each participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicle to review the Vehicle's investment objectives, investment restrictions, cash position, need for liquidity, sector concentration, and other objective criteria and to determine whether a purchase or sale of a private placement security is an appropriate transaction. The Aggregation Procedures require that each participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicle receive individualized investment advice and treatment. The portfolio manager will document how private placement securities or proceeds from an aggregated sale of such securities will be allocated among participating Vehicles (“Allocation Statement”). If there is a sufficient amount of private placement securities, in the case of a purchase, or proceeds, in the case of a sale, to satisfy all participants, the securities or proceeds will be allocated among the participants as documented by the portfolio manager. If there is an insufficient amount of private placement securities or sale proceeds to satisfy all participants, the securities or proceeds will be allocated pro rata, based on the allocation that each of the participants would have received if there was a sufficient amount of securities or proceeds and such distribution of securities or proceeds may only be allocated on a basis different from that specified in the Allocation Statement if all participants receive fair and equitable treatment. SIMC and its affiliates in some instances advise one client or take actions for a client, for itself, for its affiliates, or for their related persons that are different from the advice given or actions taken for other clients. SIMC, its affiliates, and their related persons are not obligated to buy or sell for a client any investment that they may buy, sell, or recommend for any other client or for their own accounts. Persons associated with SIMC or its affiliates have investments in any such products. It is SIMC’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal securities transactions for client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where SIMC, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliate (i.e., SIDCO), buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. In limited circumstances, SIMC affects cross-transactions in which SIMC effects transactions between two of its managed client accounts (i.e., arranging for the clients' securities trades by "crossing" these trades when SIMC believes that such transactions are beneficial to its clients. To the extent permitted by law, 37  SIDCO may act as a broker, and may receive a commission. The client may revoke SIMC's cross-transaction authority at any time upon written notice to SIMC. 38  Item 12 – Brokerage Practices Broker Selection SIMC has a duty to seek best execution of the transactions executed by SIMC for its Clients’ accounts. Although commission rates are an important consideration in determining whether “best execution” is being obtained, they are not determinative, as many other factors also are relevant in determining whether SIMC has achieved the best result for clients under the circumstances. As the SEC has acknowledged, there is no precise definition for “best execution,” since it is a facts and circumstances determination. SIMC may consider numerous factors in arranging for the purchase and sale of clients’ portfolio securities. These include any legal restrictions, such as those imposed under the securities laws and ERISA, and any client-imposed restrictions. Within these constraints, SIMC shall employ or deal with members of securities exchanges and other brokers and dealers or banks as SIMC approves and that will, in the portfolio manager’s judgment, provide “best execution” (i.e., prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable under the prevailing market conditions) for a particular transaction for the client’s account. SIMC periodically evaluates the quality of these brokerage services as provided by various firms. In determining the abilities of a broker-dealer or bank to obtain best execution of portfolio transactions, SIMC will consider all relevant factors, including: • The execution capabilities the transactions require; • Electronic routing capabilities to underlying brokers; • The ability and willingness of the broker-dealer or bank to facilitate the accounts’ portfolio transactions by participating for its own account; • The importance to the account of speed, efficiency, and confidentiality; • The apparent familiarity of the broker-dealer or bank with sources from or to whom particular securities might be purchased or sold; • The reputation and perceived soundness of the broker-dealer or bank; and • Other matters relevant to the selection of a broker-dealer or bank for portfolio transactions for any account. SIMC will not seek in advance competitive bidding for the most favorable commission rate applicable to any particular portfolio transaction or select any broker-dealer or bank on the basis of its purported or “posted” commission rate structure. Certain types of trades, such as most fixed income securities transactions, do not involve the payment of a commission. Affiliated Brokerage SIMC and SIMC appointed sub-advisors use SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO, for various brokerage services for its clients, which are described below. Other than trading in the SEI Funds, Separately Managed Accounts, Model Strategies or other accounts where SIMC has investment discretion, it is the client’s decision whether to execute a particular securities transaction using SIDCO. SIMC discloses the use of its affiliated broker-dealer in the investment management agreement that the client signs with SIMC for services. By directing brokerage to SIDCO, SIMC may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of client transactions and this practice may cost clients more money. SEI Funds Generally, portfolio transactions in the SEI Funds are effected by sub-advisors pursuant to each sub- advisor’s own brokerage policies and practices. However, SIMC does effect trades in the SEI Funds in certain situations. SIMC, and sub-advisors electing execute trades through SIDCO for the SEI Funds, subject to the duty to obtain best execution and to applicable law. Generally, under these provisions, SIDCO is permitted to receive and retain compensation for effecting portfolio transactions if such 39  compensation does not exceed “usual and customary” brokerage commissions. SIMC's brokerage discretion practices with respect to the SEI Funds are reviewed at least annually by the SEI Funds' Board of Trustees and in compliance with Section 17(e) (1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The following are examples of situations where portfolio trades in the SEI Funds may be executed through SIDCO. Manager Transitions SIMC executes transactions through SIDCO in connection with portfolio transitions that accompany SIMC’s reallocation of assets due to the hiring or termination of sub-advisors. Assets may also be reallocated to existing sub-advisors. SIDCO serves as an introducing broker-dealer for these transactions, which means that SIDCO will introduce the transaction to its primary clearing firm for execution although SIDCO may route to other executing brokers available through SIDCO at SIMC’s direction. SIDCO and the applicable clearing brokers will receive and retain compensation (i.e., commissions) for executing such transactions. Since SIDCO earns fees in connection with these transactions, SIMC has an incentive to change sub- advisors more frequently than necessary in order for its affiliate to earn additional fees. This risk is managed and mitigated by SIMC’s robust manager due diligence process and oversight structure, and the fact that manager changes require approval by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Additionally, the use of SIDCO in manager transitions is reviewed by the SEI Funds Board of Trustees. Trading for Internally Managed Equity Portfolios In connection with internally managed equity portfolios, SIMC executes those trades either through third party brokers or through SIDCO as introducing broker. SIDCO routes these orders to its primary clearing firm for execution although SIDCO may route to other executing brokers available through SIDCO at SIMC’s discretion. As with the transition management trades, SIMC generally expects that SIDCO will serve as introducing broker on a substantial amount of such equity trades. There is an inherent conflict of interest in SIMC’s use of SIDCO for trading. SIMC may be motivated to pay a higher commission for trades involving SIDCO compared to a third party broker. SIMC is subject to its duty to seek to obtain best execution. a. Sub-Advisor Trading Through SIDCO Sub-advisors to certain SEI Funds have trading relationships with SIDCO and may execute a portion of an SEI Fund’s portfolio transactions through SIDCO. These relationships may involve soft dollar trading or execution only arrangements. The commission rate is negotiated between the sub-advisor and SIDCO. SIMC neither encourages nor discourages sub-advisors from trading through SIDCO, and does not take such trading into consideration in determining whether to recommend that a manager be hired or terminated. All such trading is, of course, subject to the sub-advisor’s duty to achieve best execution. Further, each sub-advisor that trades through SIDCO is required to report such trades on a quarterly basis to the Funds’ chief compliance officer. Client Transitions SIMC, in some instances, uses SIDCO or a third party selected by SIMC, disclosed in the Investment Management Agreement, to liquidate a client’s securities portfolio. SIMC may undertake such liquidations to make cash and/or in-kind securities investments in one or more of the SEI Funds. SIDCO serves as an introducing broker-dealer for these transactions, which means that SIDCO will introduce the transaction to one or more clearing brokers at SIMC’s directions. SIDCO and the applicable clearing brokers will receive and retain compensation (i.e., commissions) for executing such transactions. Information regarding the relationship between SIMC and SIDCO are disclosed to the client in the investment management agreement and are undertaken by SIMC only after agreement by the Client to conduct the transition through SIDCO. In all cases, including in connection with clients subject to ERISA, SIMC’s use of SIDCO for transition services will be in accordance with applicable law and regulation. In order to comply with applicable law, the client is permitted to withdraw its consent to the use of SIDCO for client transactions by sending a written notice to SIMC. 40  Separately Managed Accounts For separately managed accounts, other than accounts invested in Model Strategies, SIMC or the third party sub-advisors have the option, but are not required to execute trades through SIDCO as introducing broker, using one of the executing brokers available through SIDCO. There is an inherent conflict of interest in SIMC’s use of SIDCO for trading. SIMC may be motivated to pay a higher commission for trades involving SIDCO compared to a third party broker. This conflict is mitigated by SIMC’s duty to seek best execution. In addition, SIMC and sub-advisors execute trades for fixed income securities through third-party broker-dealers and the spread, mark-up or markdown on such a transaction is borne by the Client. In most cases, for Model Strategies the third party sub-advisor will provide SIMC with the investment advisor’s investment model and SIMC will implement that model and execute all transactions allocated to that strategy through SIDCO. Generally, as set forth in the Client’s contract, SIMC has arranged for SIDCO to waive the commission SIDCO would otherwise charge and, instead, a portion of the advisory fee SIMC charges the Client covers these trading costs. In these cases trades will still incur certain standard trading fees including auction fees; fees charged by exchanges on a per transaction basis; certain odd- lot differentials; transfer taxes; electronic fund and wire transfer fees; fees on NASDAQ transactions; certain costs associated with trading in foreign securities; and any other charges mandated by law. In other cases the Model Strategy sub-advisor is responsible for trading its own investment strategy and has determined not to execute orders through SIDCO, consistent with such sub-advisor’s duty to seek best execution, and commissions will be charged to Clients on these trades as determined by the third party investment advisor. In addition, SIMC and sub-advisors execute trades for fixed income securities through third-party broker-dealers and the spread, mark-up or markdown on such a transaction is borne by the Client. In the case of clients subject to ERISA, clients are permitted to withdraw their consent to the use of SIDCO for client transactions by sending a written notice to SIMC. Soft Dollar Practices SIMC does not intend to cause an account to pay more in commissions in return for research products and/or services provided to SIMC. However, brokers with which SIMC trades may provide proprietary research materials or technology to SIMC. While SIMC does not necessarily consider receipt of such information, or access to such technology, to constitute soft dollar arrangements, it does present a conflict of interest for SIMC in connection with the selection of brokers for the execution of trades to the extent that SIMC considers such research or technology to be valuable. Sub-advisors to the SEI Funds may engage in soft dollar transactions pursuant to the sub-advisors’ own policies and procedures. Client Referrals SIMC does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker-dealers, whether SIMC or a related person receives client referrals from a broker-dealer or third-party and the conflicts this creates. Directed Brokerage In limited circumstances, a client may direct SIMC to use a particular broker-dealer (subject to SIMC’s right to decline and/or terminate the engagement) to execute some or all transactions for the client’s account. In such event, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with that broker-dealer, and SIMC will not seek better execution services or prices from other broker-dealers or be able to “batch” the client’s transactions for execution through other broker-dealers with orders for other accounts managed by SIMC. As a result, client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. 41  Trade Aggregation SIMC is permitted to aggregate or “batch” orders placed at the same time for the accounts of two or more clients if it is in the best interests of its clients. By batching trade orders, SIMC may obtain more favorable executions and net prices for the combined order, and ensure that no participating client is favored over any other client. Typically, SIMC will affect block orders for the purchase and sale for the same security for client accounts to facilitate best execution and to reduce transaction costs. When an aggregated order is filled in its entirety, each participating client account generally will receive the block price obtained on all such purchases or sales with respect to such order. The portfolio manager for each account must determine that the purchase or sale of the particular security involved is appropriate for the client and consistent with the client’s investment objectives and with any investment guidelines or restrictions applicable to the client’s account. The portfolio manager for each account must reasonably believe that the block trading will benefit, and will enable SIMC to seek best execution for each client participating in the block order. This requires a reasonable good faith judgment at the time the order is placed for execution. 42  Item 13 – Review of Accounts Servicing of the Client accounts is conducted by the Institutional Group’s Client Portfolio Managers. Each Client Portfolio Manager is assigned to accounts, conducts reviews of account status periodically and is available to Clients on an on-going basis. Each account is subject to an annual review of the Client’s Investment Guidelines and their financial objectives and goals (or more frequently if or when appropriate) to ensure that the current asset allocation is designed to meet the Client’s needs, considering financial situation, return expectation, risk tolerance, time horizon and asset class preferences. Client Service Directors and Representatives provide additional client support, including serving as primary correspondent with SPTC. For clients who utilize a third-party custodian, the Institutional Middle Office team provides administrative support on behalf of SIMC. 43  Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation SIMC and its affiliates receive fees from the SEI’s Pooled Investment Vehicles Funds, which are determined as a percentage of the Pooled Investment Vehicles’ total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a Client invest in the Pooled Investment Vehicles, SIMC and its affiliates benefit from investment in the Pooled Investment Vehicles. Please see Items 4 and 12 for additional information. Marketing Benefits SIMC and its affiliates may assist certain not-for-profit Clients with their marketing activities, including providing brochures and other forms of marketing materials that Clients may use with their donors. Solicitation Arrangements SIMC enters into solicitation arrangements with third parties who will receive a solicitation fee from SIMC and affiliates for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. Additionally, SIMC may compensate SIMC employees who will receive a fee (determined based on the fee paid to SIMC by the client) for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. In all cases these solicitation arrangements are designed and implemented in a manner to comply with Investment Adviser Act Rule 206(4)-1 and applicable state laws. 44  Item 15 – Custody In most cases, SPTC, an affiliate of SIMC, serves as custodian for SIMC clients (with the exception of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and some of SIMC’s other Pooled Investment Vehicles). As custodian, SPTC will send periodic account statements directly to SIMC clients. Additionally, SPTC provides SIMC clients with other account and reporting services, including quarterly performance reports, year-end tax reports and online account access. SPTC charges a fee for its services. SIMC clients whose assets are custodied with SPTC are encouraged to carefully review the account statements they receive from SPTC. In addition, SIMC clients are urged to compare any reports received from SIMC to the account statements received from SPTC (or other third-party custodian). Comparing statements will allow clients to determine whether account transactions, including deductions to pay advisory fees, are accurate. As a result of its affiliation with the general partner or director to the SEI Alternative Funds, SIMC is deemed to have custody of the SEI Alternative Funds’ assets. Pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, SIMC maintains compliance by ensuring that each SEI Alternative Fund: • is audited on an annual basis by an independent accountant that is registered with, and subject to regular inspection by, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in accordance with its rules. • distributes audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to all limited partners (or members or other beneficial owners) within the distribution timeframes set forth in Rule 206(4)-2 specific to the type of private fund. SIMC does not maintain custody of certain legacy privately placed (alternative) investments held by Clients but may provide certain reporting services on such investments. In these cases, Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains Clients’ investment assets or receive annual audited financial statements from the private fund sponsor. SIMC urges Clients to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that SIMC may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. 45  Item 16 – Investment Discretion SIMC receives discretionary authority from the Client to manage Client’s account assets in accordance with Client’s Investment Guidelines via the agreement they enter into with SIMC. Some Clients have assigned SIMC greater discretion with respect to determining the proper asset allocation of their portfolio in which SIMC may periodically change the asset allocation without seeking prior Client approval. These Clients have also given SIMC the discretion to add or remove asset class exposures as SIMC deems prudent to seek to meet Clients’ objectives. SIMC also maintains discretionary authority: (1) as investment advisor to Pooled Investment Vehicles; (2) to determine the re-balancing allocation of a Client's assets among the individual SEI Funds or other Pooled Investment Vehicles; (3) in certain circumstances, to dispose of a Client's securities in order to raise cash to purchase SEI Funds, liquidate the account or invest in other Pooled Investment Vehicles; and (4) for purchase and sale of individual securities. 46  Item 17 – Voting Client Securities SIMC has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that SIMC votes proxies in the best interest of its clients. SIMC has retained a third-party proxy voting service provider (the “Service”), to vote proxies with respect to applicable clients in accordance with approved guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and may deviate from voting in accordance with the Guidelines in certain limited exception scenarios (see below). SIMC also has a proxy voting committee (the “Committee”), comprised of SIMC employees, which approves the proxy voting guidelines or approves how SIMC should vote in certain scenarios. So long as the Service votes proxies in accordance with the Guidelines, SIMC maintains that there is an appropriate presumption that the manner in which SIMC voted was not influenced by, and did not result from, a conflict of interest. In addition to retaining the Service, SIMC has also engaged a separate third- party vendor to assist with company engagement services (the “Engagement Service”). The Engagement Service strives to help investors manage reputational risk and increase corporate accountability through proactive, professional and constructive engagement. As a result of this process, the Engagement Service will at times provide to SIMC recommendations that may conflict with the Guidelines (see below for more detail). SIMC retains the authority to override the Service’s recommendation, in certain/limited scenarios, and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Service’s recommendation. The exercise of such right could implicate a conflict of interest. As a result, SIMC may not overrule the Service’s recommendation with respect to a proxy unless the following steps are taken: a. The Committee meets to consider the proposal to overrule the Service’s recommendation. b. The Committee determines whether SIMC has a conflict of interest with respect to the issuer that is the subject of the proxy. If the Committee determines that SIMC has a conflict of interest, the Committee then determines whether the conflict is “material” to any specific proposal included within the proxy. If not, then SIMC can vote the proxy as determined by the Committee. c. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC has a material conflict of interest, SIMC may vote a proxy regarding that proposal in any of the following manners: 1. Obtain Client Consent or Direction – If the Committee approves the proposal to overrule the recommendation of the Service, SIMC must fully disclose to each client holding the security at issue the nature of the conflict, and obtain the client’s consent to how SIMC will vote on the proposal (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client as to how the proxy on the proposal should be voted). 2. Use Recommendation of the Service – Vote in accordance with the Service’s recommendation. d. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC does not have a material conflict of interest, the Committee may overrule the Service’s recommendation if the Committee reasonably determines that doing so is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients. If the Committee decides to overrule the Service’s recommendation, the Committee will maintain a written record setting forth the basis of the Committee’s decision. Notwithstanding these policies and procedures, actual proxy voting decisions of SIMC may have the effect of favoring the interests of other clients or businesses of SIMC and/or its affiliates, provided that SIMC believes such voting decisions to be in accordance with its fiduciary obligations. In some cases, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients to abstain from voting certain proxies. SIMC will abstain from voting in the event any of the following conditions are met with regard to a proxy proposal: 47  • Neither the Guidelines nor specific client instructions cover an issue; • The Service does not make a recommendation on the issue; • In circumstances where, in SIMC’s judgment, the costs of voting the proxy exceed the expected benefits to clients; Share blocking; • • The Committee is unable to convene on a proxy proposal to make a determination as to what would be in the client’s best interest; and • Proxies in foreign jurisdictions where the requirements necessary to vote are not practical and create an administrative hurdle that SIMC is unable to clear in the required (usually limited) time frame. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting mutual fund proxies for any and all mutual funds maintained in client portfolios. With respect to proxies of an affiliated investment company or series thereof (e.g., the SEI U.S. mutual funds) SIMC will vote such proxies in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders of the investment company or series thereof (i.e., “echo vote” or “mirror vote”). Client Directed Votes. SIMC clients who have delegated voting responsibility to SIMC with respect to their account may from time to time contact their client representative if they would like to direct SIMC to vote in a particular solicitation. SIMC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to vote according to the client’s request in these circumstances, and cannot provide assurances that such voting requests will be implemented. Clients may only direct votes with respect to securities held directly by the client. The Client may not direct votes for securities held by Pooled Investment Vehicle unless otherwise disclosed in such products prospectus or offering document. This does not apply to the SEI Fund shares that are proportionally voted pursuant to the SEI Institutional Investments Trust Vote Choice Program. The Vote Choice Program allows, subject to the terms of the Program, a shareholder of an eligible Fund to direct the Fund to vote their proportionate share interest in accordance with the shareholder’s selected third- party proxy voting policy. As noted above, SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendations in certain scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Guidelines. In all such cases, this requires the Committee to rule out any material conflict (as noted above) prior to overriding the Guidelines. Areas where SIMC may consider overriding the Guidelines include: • Requests by third-party sub-advisers within the SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles to direct certain votes; and • Recommendations by the Engagement Service. Clients may obtain a copy of SIMC’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request. Clients may also obtain information from SIMC about how SIMC voted any proxies on behalf of their account(s) by either referring to Form N-PX (for SEI Funds) or by contacting your client service representative. Certain SIMC clients have either retained the ability to vote proxies with respect to their account, or have delegated that proxy voting authority to a third-party selected by the client. In those circumstances, SIMC is not responsible for voting proxies in the account or for overseeing the voting of such proxies by the client or its designated agent. With respect to those clients for which SIMC does not conduct proxy voting, Clients should work with their custodians to ensure they receive their proxies and other solicitations for securities held in their account. Clients may contact their client service representative if they have a question on particular proxy voting matters or solicitations. 48  June 30, 2025 Institutional Group.

It is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEIC”), a publicly traded diversified financial services firm (NASDAQ: SEIC) headquartered in Oaks, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. SIMC and its predecessor entities were originally incorporated in 1969. SIMC is investment advisor to various types of investors, including but not limited to, corporate and union sponsored pension plans, public plans, defined contribution plans (including 401(k) plans), endowments, charitable foundations, hospital organizations, banks, trust departments, registered investment advisors, trusts, corporations, high net worth individuals and retail investors. SIMC also serves as the investment advisor to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, private equity funds, alternative funds, collective investment trusts and offshore investment funds (together, the “Pooled Investment Vehicles”). Additionally, SIMC serves as the sponsor of, and advisor to, managed accounts. SIMC’s total assets under management as of December 31, 2025 were $216,428,500,660, $211,986,837,592 of which it manages on a discretionary basis and $4,441,663,0687 on a non-discretionary basis. SEI Private Banking In SEI’s Private Banking segment (SIMC provides investment advisory services to banks, trust companies, independent investment advisors and other financial institutions, all who are either registered as an investment advisor under applicable federal or state law or are exempt from such registration (each, an “Intermediary”)As, and who generally use the services described in this Brochure in connection with such Intermediary’s management of their separate clients assets (each, an “End Investor”). Unless otherwise specified in this Brochure, SIMC only makes available its services to Intermediaries and does not provide services to End Investors. Accordingly, Intermediaries serve as investment advisor to their End-Investors, act as the sole contact and are responsible for analyzing each of their End-Investor’s current financial situation, return expectations, risk tolerance, time horizon and asset class preference. The various SIMC services and investment made available to Intermediaries are explained below. SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles SEI Mutual Funds SIMC serves as the investment advisor to (i) the SEI mutual funds, which are a family of SEC-registered mutual funds and (ii) SEI interval fund(s), closed-end management investment companies (“SEI Funds”). Intermediaries may offer the SEI mutual funds (“SEI Funds”) to their End Investors. SIMC serves as the investment advisor to the SEI Funds, which is a family of SEC-registered mutual funds. Most of the SEI Funds are manager-of-managers funds, which means that SIMC (i) hires one or more sub-advisors to manage all or a portion of the SEI Funds’ assets on a day-to-day basis; (ii) monitors the sub-advisors;(iii) allocates, on a continuous basis, assets of a SEI Fund among the sub-advisors (to the extent a fund has more than one sub- advisor); and (iv) when necessary, replaces sub-advisors. Each sub- advisor makes investment decisions for the assets it manages and continuously reviews, supervises and administers the investment program. SIMC is generally responsible for establishing, monitoring and administering the investment program of each SEI Fund. With respect to many of the SEI Funds, including as applicable, in combination with the a manger-of- manager structures SIMC directly manages all or a substantial portion of the SEI Funds’ assets directly. Please see Item 8 for additional information on the sub-advisor selection process. SIMC develops various SEI Funds, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals. The SEI Funds are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but 4  rather the program is designed to enable the Intermediary to match its End Investors with SEI Funds that are consistent with the End Investor’s investment goals and objectives. Additionally, End Investors invested in the SEI Funds may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each Fund. SEI Exchange Traded Funds SIMC serves as the investment advisor to the SEI exchange traded funds, a registered series of SIMC- managed funds (“SEI ETFs”). As investment advisor, SIMC has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the SEI ETFs. SIMC manages all of the assets of SEI ETFs, or a substantial portion of the assets of SEI ETFs in combination with the manager-of-manager structure discussed in the section above. When managing SEI ETFs’ assets directly, SIMC may draw upon the research and expertise of its affiliates with respect to certain portfolio securities. In seeking to achieve the SEI ETFs’ investment objective, SIMC uses teams of portfolio managers, investment strategists and other investment specialists. This team approach brings together many disciplines and leverages SIMC’s extensive resources. SIMC develops various SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals. The SEI Funds and SEI ETFs are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather the program is designed to enable an Independent Advisor to match its Clients with SEI Funds and SEI ETFs that are consistent with the Client’s investment goals and objectives. Additionally, Clients invested in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each SEI Fund and SEI ETFs. The Independent Advisor is solely responsible for determining the suitability of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs for its Clients. Funds-Models-Based Program Private Banking offers Intermediaries the ability to invest End Investor assets into model portfolios of mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). SIMC currently offers investment models that consist: (i) solely of allocations to SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (“SEI Asset Allocation Model(s)”); and (ii) allocation to third-party branded investment model portfolios of certain families of third-party mutual funds or ETFs managed by well-established fund sponsors working with SEI to promote and distribute the strategies (“Independent Funds Model(s)”). In each models-based program End Investors of Intermediaries, in consultation and on the recommendation of their Intermediary, are able to purchase funds in a manner intended to follow SIMC-developed model investment portfolios. Under both the SEI Asset Allocation Models and Independent Funds Models programs SIMC provides non- discretionary services to the Intermediary through the publication of investment models consisting of allocations to these different funds. Specifically, SIMC: (1) makes available the models, developed and periodically updated by SIMC designed to achieve the model’s stated investment objective or goal based upon SIMC’s capital market assumptions and any other criteria that SIMC, in its sole discretion, determines is relevant; and (2) periodically publishes for consideration by Intermediary revisions to a model’s percentage asset allocations among the underlying SEI Funds, SEI ETFs, ETFs or third party mutual funds, or adds, removes, or otherwise changes the individual SEI Funds’, SEI ETFs’, ETFs’ or third party mutual funds’ (or other assets) underlying an existing model. As SIMC is not managing End Investor accounts in the SEI Asset Allocation Models and Independent Funds Models programs. SIMC does not conduct an independent investigation of the Intermediary’s End Investor or the End Investor’s financial condition. Instead, the Intermediary serves as the sole investment advisor to its End Investor, responsible for analyzing its End Investor’s current financial situation, risk tolerance, time horizon, and asset class preference and determining whether a particular model (and its underlying SEI Funds, SEI ETFs or third party 5  funds, as applicable) is suitable for that End Investor. Based upon the Intermediary’s consideration of its End Investor’s objectives and goals, the Intermediary can recommend and the End Investor can select an SEI Asset Allocation Model or Independent Funds Model. Each model seeks to achieve a particular investment goal or to meet particular risk and return characteristics. These models are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific investors, but rather the program is designed to enable an Intermediary to match its End Investors to investment models that are consistent with the End Investors’ investment goals and objectives. End Investors may not impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each model. As described in more detail in the specific program descriptions below, how SIMC and its affiliates earn fees when making available the SEI Asset Allocation Models and Independent Funds Models differs. In the SEI Asset Allocation Models program, SIMC and its affiliates earns fees from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, which costs are indirectly borne by the Intermediary’s End Investors invested in these models. As a result, SIMC does not charge the Intermediary (or End Investors) a direct fee for the use of the SEI Asset Allocation Models. In the Independent Funds Model Program SIMC and its affiliates (including SPTC) charge direct fees that will be assessed to the Intermediary. The level of total fees incurred by the Intermediary (and indirectly by an End Investor) directly and/or through the product level fees between these two programs may differ significantly. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or in part, based on SEI’s relationship with the Intermediary. SIMC may end such waiver at any time after which the affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. SIMC manages this conflict through the disclosures we make about the fees we earn. End Investors are encouraged to consult with their Intermediary before investing in these programs to consider the fee structures and costs the End Investor will incur directly and indirectly through their investment in these programs. The Independent Funds Model Program is only available to a limited number of Intermediaries, most Intermediaries only have access to SEI Asset Allocation Models. Specific information applicable to each of our models-based programs is discussed below. SEI Asset Allocation Models In this models-based program, End Investors of Intermediaries are able to purchase SEI Funds and SEI ETFs in a manner intended to follow SIMC-developed model investment portfolios. SIMC acts a non- discretionary advisor to Intermediaries in this program by developing the investment models and providing the models and their underlying asset allocations to Intermediaries for their consideration. Within the SEI Asset Allocation Program, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs or may add or subtract SEI Funds or SEI ETFs from a model. SIMC also may create new models within the Asset Allocation Program. SIMC may allocate to newly registered SEI Funds or SEI ETFs within existing or new models. Such allocations may assist in capitalizing or “seeding” these new funds and in turn assist in their promotion as initial or additional assets may make such funds more attractive to potential investors. A conflict exists in that SIMC and its affiliates receive compensation from the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs for the various services they provide, and an allocation to an SEI Fund or SEI ETF could increase such compensation. And, as the SEI ETFs are relatively new investment products and SIMC expects to launch additional SEI ETFs from time to time, the inclusion of these funds in a model further benefits SIMC as it allows those ETFs to become commercially viable and more attractive in the market without SIMC having to invest its own capital in those SEI ETFs. End Investors should be aware that similar products may offer better performance and/or longer track records than SEI ETFs. Intermediaries independently determine whether to follow SIMC’s adjusted model for their End Investors by instructing (or not instructing) their applicable custodian to allocate the End Investors’ assets in accordance with the revised SEI Asset Allocation Model’s parameters. As SIMC is the investment advisor to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, and SIMC’s affiliates provide services to the SEI Fund and SEI ETFs for which they receive fees, including distribution, administrative and shareholder services, SIMC has a conflict of interest in recommending the SEI Asset Allocation Models 6  to Intermediaries. SIMC believes this conflict of interest is managed through the disclosures we make about the program and, importantly, as a result of the fact that the Intermediary, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of an SEI Asset Allocation Model with its End Investors. In addition, SIMC does not charge the Intermediary for the non-discretionary advice it provides through the development, maintenance and publication of the SEI Asset Allocation Models, which fees are assessed in the Independent Funds Model Program. Since a large portion of the assets in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs are comprised of Intermediaries following these Asset Allocation Models (or other asset allocation models for which SIMC either determines or influences the allocation), model reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs. While reallocations are intended to benefit End Investors that invest in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs through the SEI Asset Allocation Models, they could in certain cases have a detrimental effect on the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs that are being materially reallocated, including by increasing portfolio turnover (and related transaction costs), disrupting portfolio management strategy, and causing a SEI Fund or SEI ETF to incur taxable gains. Further, End Investors following the Asset Allocation Models may experience transaction costs due to the purchase and redemption of SEI Fund or SEI ETF shares, including capital gains. SIMC seeks to manage the impact to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs resulting from reallocations. For temporary defensive or liquidity purposes during unusual economic or market conditions, SIMC may change the allocations of the SEI Asset Allocation Model in a manner that would not ordinarily be consistent with a portfolio’s strategy. SIMC will only do so only if it believes that the risk of loss outweighs the opportunity for capital gains or higher income. During such time, a portfolio may not achieve its investment goal. Independent Funds Model Program The Independent Funds Model Program is closed to new Clients, although it remains available to Clients that currently invest in the program. In this program, Intermediaries desire to use SIMC’s non- discretionary asset allocation advice, as discussed above for the SEI Asset Allocation Models, but implemented through branded investment models allocated to funds of well-known mutual fund/ETF sponsors with established records managing retail assets through traditional pooled investment products (e.g., mutual funds and ETFs). To use this program, Intermediaries execute a non-discretionary advisory agreement with SIMC in order for SIMC to receive an advisory fee for its services provided to the Intermediary. SIMC expects that in some cases Intermediaries will pass the fees charged by SIMC to the Intermediary in this program to its End Investors. SIMC does not research the entire market of available mutual funds/ETFs when selecting third party funds for use in this program. Instead, SEIC’s business units develop strategic business relationships with the sponsors of a limited number of third party mutual fund/ETF families that meet specific business and investment criteria established by SIMC and develops branded investment models promoting the third party’s investment brand. These business criteria include willingness to engage in joint marketing, sales support, event support and other mutually beneficial marketing and sales arrangements with SEI. As a result, SIMC has a conflict of interest when making these funds available because SIMC relies on these firms to help market and support Private Banks and other SEIC business unit solutions. Another criteria SIMC takes into consideration is whether the mutual fund/ETF families are well established and well known “brands” in the Intermediary channel. This reliance on these firms creates a disincentive for SIMC to discontinue the availability of the third party funds they sponsor, even if their funds do not compare favorably to other available funds on objective factors such as performance or cost. Investment criteria SIMC uses to select third party funds varies as will the percent of a model’s allocation to third party funds. In some cases SIMC selects mutual fund/ETF sponsors whose fund line-up spans from a majority of to a full range of asset classes necessary to meet SIMC’s range of the models’ asset allocations. In other cases, the third party fund sponsor has a more limited range of funds that SIMC uses to populate a model, which may be as low as 10% of a model’s total investment allocation. In those cases where the mutual fund/ETF sponsor does not have a mutual 7  fund or ETF meeting SIMC’s requirements for a specific asset class within a model strategy, SIMC will select SEI ETFs or other third party ETFs or mutual funds to complete a Third Party Fund program strategy. SIMC will first determine if an SEI ETF meets the asset class requirement and, if so, will use the SEI ETF as part of the model. This determination is based on the SEI ETF’s stated investment strategy and its alignment with the asset call requirement, as determined in SIMC’s discretion. SEI then selects from third party ETFs and mutual funds to complete the model allocation. SIMC may periodically rely on information and models supplied by a third party sponsor as an input into SIMC’s portfolio optimization. Although SIMC may incorporate such inputs, SIMC’s strategy is expected to differ from such third party sponsor models, at times materially, including with respect to security selection, weighting, and performance. SIMC’s ability to offer strategies may be constrained by the type or number of third party sponsor funds. Certain strategies may not be a complete investment program and should be considered only as one part of an investment portfolio. The business and other criteria listed in the preceding paragraph are the primary factors SIMC takes into consideration when selecting any third party fund sponsor for participation in the Independent Funds Model Program. Moreover, there are other business-related criteria that SIMC takes into consideration. In particular, SIMC and its affiliates provide a wide range of financial services to institutional firms, including through the provision of technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn- key pooled product solutions and other financial services unrelated to the Private Banks investment offerings discussed in this Brochure. The revenue SIMC and its affiliates earn from these relationships often is significant. When selecting mutual fund/ETF sponsors for inclusion in the Independent Funds Model Program, SIMC will take these other SEI relationships into account and, accordingly, IAS may select a mutual fund/ETF sponsor that is a client of SEI for other purposes and we have a conflict of interest when doing so. We mitigate this conflict through the requirement that in all cases the firm meet our above noted criteria at the time of initial inclusion in the program and also on an ongoing basis. In addition, SIMC believes the conflict of interest associated with the business criteria described above is managed through the disclosures we make about the program and, importantly, as a result of the fact that the Intermediary has multiple options available when determining how to access SIMC’s asset allocation advice or elect not to use SIMC’s services, both through the availability of multiple Independent Funds Model Program models and the programs available outside of the Independent Funds Model Program, and that the Intermediaries, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of any Independent Funds Model Program model with its End Investors. SIMC has conflicts of interest when the SEI ETFs are used to fulfill an Independent Funds Model Program model’s asset allocation. SIMC is the investment advisor to the SEI ETFs, and earns advisory fees for providing services to them, which revenue SIMC does not earn when selecting third party funds. In addition, SIMC’s affiliates provide services to the SEI ETFs and Sweep Fund (e.g., administrative, distribution, transfer agency, etc.) and receive fees from the funds for these services. SIMC’s affiliates would not typically receive these custodial, shareholder servicing and administrative fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds. And, as the SEI ETFs are relatively new investment products and SIMC expects to launch additional SEI ETFs from time to time, the inclusion of these funds in a model further benefits SIMC as it allows those ETFs to become commercially viable and more attractive in the market without SIMC having to invest its own capital in those SEI ETFs. End Investors should be aware that similar products may offer better performance and/or longer track records than SEI ETFs. SIMC believes the conflict of interest associated described above is managed through the disclosures we make about the program and, importantly, as a result of the fact that the Intermediary, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of any Independent Funds Model Program model with its End Investors. Managed Account Solutions SIMC makes available to Intermediaries a managed account solutions program (or “MAS”) that the Intermediary may elect to use in connection with their management of End Investor assets. The Intermediary is separately retained by the End Investor to provide the End Investor, among other things, investment advice concerning the investment of the End Investor’s assets and may elect to use the MAS program. Under MAS, the Intermediary can invest the End Investor’s assets in one or more portfolios of 8  individual securities that are managed pursuant to a specific strategy selected by the Intermediary. The Intermediary appoints SIMC, via a sub-advisory agreement, to serve as the Intermediary’s sub-advisor. In this capacity, SIMC manages MAS through its manager-of-managers structure, which means that SIMC generally retains one or more third party portfolio managers to manage the End Investor portfolios assigned by the Intermediary on day-to-day basis, monitors the portfolio managers and, as necessary,replaces portfolio managers. Please see Item 8 for additional information on the sub-advisor selection process. Within MAS, SIMC makes available two broad categories of investment strategies that are referred to throughout this Brochure as “SIMC Managed Account Strategies”: (i) individual investment strategies (or model investment portfolios) of third party investment managers selected and overseen by SIMC (“Portfolio Managers”) covering a broad spectrum of available investment styles; and (ii) SIMC designed and managed investment strategies (or model investment portfolios), strategies managed directly by SIMC, strategies managed directly by SIMC and allocated to SEI Funds, SEI ETFs or third party exchange traded funds and Distribution Focused Strategies managed by SIMC. Under each Institution’s sub-advisory agreement with SIMC, SIMC charges the Institution advisory fees for its MAS services that will vary based on the investment strategies selected. In many cases SIMC expects that the Institution will pass these fees on to End Investors. The Intermediary allocates its End Investor’s assets to designated portfolios of separate securities managed by SIMC and/or selected by Portfolio Managers, SEI Funds or SEI ETFs, or mutual funds or exchange traded funds managed by third parties (each a “Managed Account Portfolio”). SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, which are advised by SIMC, and in limited circumstances, third party mutual funds may also be used in SIMC Managed Account Strategies, or to complete a SIMC Managed Account Strategy due to investment minimums. In MAS, the Intermediary is responsible for determining the initial and on- going suitability to invest the End Investor’s assets in the portfolio and strategy selected by the Intermediary based on, among other things, the End Investor’s investment goals, risks, tolerance, limitations and financial circumstances. Intermediaries are also responsible for meeting with the End Investor at least annually to determine any material changes to the End Investor’s financial circumstances or investment objectives that may affect the manner in which such End Investor’s assets are invested. SIMC is only responsible for managing those assets which the Intermediary has directed SIMC to manage as its sub-advisor pursuant to the strategy selected by the Intermediary and supported by SIMC. SIMC manages certain portfolios in MAS directly, rather than through the use of Portfolio Managers, and, in some cases, SEI Funds or SEI ETFs will be included in a portfolio (generally due to investment minimums), for which SIMC also serves as investment manager. SIMC manages MAS accounts in the same manner that it manages other separate accounts with the same investment strategy or mandate. Generally, these investment management services are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather the program is designed to enable End Investors to be matched by the Intermediary with a portfolio that is consistent with such End Investor’s investment goals and objectives. However, an Intermediary may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on the management of End Investor’s account. SIMC may receive a portion of the fee for its services. In addition, the fees may be higher or lower than that charged by other comparable separate account programs. The Intermediary (and indirectly the End Investor) may have the option to purchase certain SIMC investment products, including the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, that SIMC recommends through other brokers or agents not affiliated with SIMC. As noted above, shares of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and in limited circumstances third-party mutual funds, will be used in SEI Managed Account Strategies to complete the allocation to the strategy or due to investment minimums. This is true for strategies managed by third party Portfolio Managers and strategies managed directly by SIMC. Because SIMC is also the investment manager of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, SIMC earns additional advisory fees from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs when End Investor assets are invested in such shares. While SIMC’s additional compensation creates an incentive to invest MAS assets in the SEI Funds, the conflict is mitigated because the Institution investing its End Investor assets into a MAS portfolio that (i) includes shares of SEI Funds are not charged an advisory fee on those assets, but End Investors do still pay the internal fees associated with such shares, and (ii) includes shares of SEI ETFs, 9  which SIMC may elect to either rebate against its advisory fee an amount equal to SIMC’S fee for managing the SEI ETF or not charge an advisor fee on those assets, but End Investors do still pay the internal fees associated with such shares. In addition, SIMC’s affiliates receive custodial, shareholder servicing and administrative fees from End Investors’ investments in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. SIMC’s affiliates would not typically receive these custodial, shareholder servicing and administrative fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds (except in certain cases where SIMC’s affiliates have been separately hired by such funds to perform services (e.g., administrative) and in these cases SIMC’s affiliates will receive and retain fees earned for providing services to the third party funds). This creates an incentive for SIMC to favor shares of SEI Funds and SEI ETFs over direct investments in MAS. As part of MAS, the Intermediary may also request that SIMC provide certain sub-advisory services to the Intermediary in connection with Intermediary-affiliated or third-party managers with whom the Intermediary has contracted directly to manage a portfolio of individual securities pursuant to a strategy (an “Intermediary Managed Portfolio”). In such cases, the Intermediary has not directed SIMC to manage such Intermediary Managed Portfolios pursuant to a selected strategy. Rather, SIMC provides only the following advisory services to the Intermediary in connection with such Intermediary Managed Portfolios established under MAS: SIMC (either itself or through an investment manager selected by SIMC) will receive model portfolio information from the Intermediary affiliated or third-party investment manager managing the Intermediary Managed Portfolio, and seek to replicate such model for the End Investor accounts invested in such model portfolios. In carrying out such services, SIMC reserves the right to deviate from the model portfolio, as it determines appropriate. Additionally, MAS offers a feature called tax management in which SIMC, at the direction of the Intermediary, appoints or acts as an overlay manager (“Overlay Manager”) for the equity portion of the End Investor’s assets. The various equity sub-advisors for the End Investor’s portfolio provide buy/sell lists (i.e., model portfolios) to the Overlay Manager, which then is responsible for executing the transactions across the account within certain performance parameters and security weighting variances from the underlying model portfolios, with the goal of increased coordination across the equity portion of the account, increased tax efficiency and minimization of wash sales. Neither the Overlay Manager nor SIMC offers tax advice; End Investors should consult with their tax advisors as to the suitability of the tax management feature for their accounts. SIMC will apply tax management to Individual Manager Strategies. Neither the Overlay Manager nor SIMC offers tax advice; End Investors should consult with their tax advisors as to the suitability of the tax management feature for their accounts. Under MAS, the Intermediary may also establish Intermediary Managed Portfolios. In such cases, the Intermediary appoints SIMC to provide the noted overlay services to the equity portions of such Intermediary Managed Portfolios. (In certain cases, Intermediaries can appoint SIMC as a sub-advisor for the sole purpose of providing these overlay services to the equity portions of Intermediary Managed Portfolios.). MAS - SEI Distribution-Focused Strategies (“DFS”) DFS is a series of investment strategies available within MAS and designed for Clients in a distribution (e.g., retirement) phase of their investment lifecycle. In this program, Intermediaries invest End Investor assets in a portfolio of either SEI Funds, SEI ETFs or third party ETFs, as selected by the Institution, within a strategy seeking to generate a targeted level of distributions using a broadly diversified portfolio of assets. In addition to pursuing the targeted distribution objectives, DFS seeks to provide a degree of principal preservation by seeking to leave a positive residual value at the end of each strategy’s stated investment time horizon. While each DFS strategy has a targeted distribution level and residual value, there is no assurance that either target will actually be met. As SIMC is the investment advisor to each of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and SIMC’s affiliates provide other services to the SEI Funds (e.g., distributor, fund administrator, shareholder services, etc.), SIMC and its affiliates earn fees for providing services to the SEI Funds when an Institution invests its End Investors into SEI Funds through DFS. In order to address the conflict of interest this presents, SIMC does not charge the Institution an advisory fee on DFS Strategies consisting of SEI Funds (but does charge an advisory fee 10  on DFS strategies consisting of ETFs), but instead is compensated through the fees earned within the SEI Funds (which fees are charged to End Investor accounts investing in such shares). See Item 5, Fees, below for more information. SIMC also believes our conflicts of interest in using SEI Funds in DFS is mitigated because the Institution, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting use of a DFS strategy allocated to SEI Funds with End Investors. SIMC develops various DFS investment strategies, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals DFS strategies are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather the program is designed to enable End Investors to be matched by the Intermediary with a DFS strategy that is consistent with such End Investor’s investment goals and objectives. When selecting a DFS strategy, the Intermediary and its End Investor will select whether to use an SEI Funds or ETF implementation and the specific DFS strategy into which the End Investor’s assets will be invested. The Intermediary is responsible for determining the initial and on-going suitability to invest the End Investor’s assets in DFS based on, among other things, the End Investor’s investment goals, risks, tolerance, limitations and financial circumstances. Intermediaries are also responsible for meeting with the End Investor at least annually to determine any material changes to the End Investor’s financial circumstances or investment objectives that may affect the manner in which such End Investor’s assets are invested. SIMC is responsible for managing only those assets that the Intermediary allocates to DFS in accordance with the DFS strategies selected by the Intermediary. End Investor may not impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts. However, each End Investor has a number of options available in each strategy to allow for a level of customization, such as expected duration of the strategy, the End Investor’s desired distribution rate, and whether the End Investor desires to have the distributions adjusted for inflation. Strategist Program SIMC offers a strategist program where SIMC creates and periodically updates various asset allocation portfolios or investment models (“Strategist Models”) consisting of allocation to SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and Exchange Traded Funds and, in some cases, other assets types. The Intermediary serves as its End Investors’ contact and sole advisor to its End Investors, and is responsible for analyzing each of its End Investor’s current financial situation, return expectations, risk tolerance, time horizon, asset class preference and for recommending an appropriate Sub-Advisory Model. The. The Intermediary is responsible for determining an End Investor’s initial and ongoing suitability to invest in the appropriate Strategist Model, including the suitability of the particular asset allocation strategy selected for the End Investor. The Intermediary is also responsible for meeting with End Investors periodically to determine any material changes to the End Investor’s financial circumstances or investment objectives that may affect the manner in which such End Investor’s assets are invested. These Strategist Models are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather designed to enable the Intermediary’s’ End Investors to be matched with a Strategist Model that is consistent with an End Investor’s investment goals and objectives. In the strategist program, SIMC will generally provide a third party technology or custodial platform selected by the Intermediary with a proposed buy/sell list of recommended Strategist Model allocation changes that SIMC may also implement in part or whole for its discretionary client accounts and/or communicate to Intermediaries using the SEI Asset Allocation program. SIMC will implement these buy/sell list recommendations for its discretionary client accounts prior to submitting its buy/sell list to its non-discretionary clients and may provide proposed changes to one non- discretionary client prior to another, but will seek to ensure that strategist program changes are distributed to non-discretionary clients in a fair and equitable manner over time. In these circumstances, trades ultimately placed by an Intermediary for its End Investors may be subject to price movements particularly with large orders or where securities are thinly traded, that may result in the Intermediary’s End Investors receiving prices that are less favorable than the prices obtained by SIMC (or SIMC”s other clients) for its proprietary or discretionary accounts.Certain Strategist consist solely of allocation to SEI Funds and/or SEI ETFs. As SIMC 11  is the investment advisor to each of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs and SIMC’s affiliates provide other services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (e.g., distributor, fund administrator, shareholder services, etc.), SIMC and its affiliates earn fees for providing services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs when an Institution invests its End Investors into SEI Funds and SEI ETFs through Strategist Models. In order to address the conflict of interest this presents, SIMC does not generally charge the Intermediary or third party platform hosting the Strategist Models a fee on strategies consisting of allocations to SEI Funds, but instead is compensated through the fees earned within the SEI Funds (which fees are charged to End Investor accounts investing in such shares). However, to the extent SEI ETFs are allocated to Strategist Models, SIMC will generally charge the Intermediary or the third party hosting platform a fee and SIMC will earn both this compensation and indirectly amounts earned on fees from the SEI ETFs. SIMC believes our conflicts of interest in using SEI Funds and SEI ETFs is mitigated because the Institution, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting use of a Strategist Model allocated to SEI Funds with End Investors. Use of Affiliates For each of the programs and products described in this Brochure, SIMC hires one or more of its affiliates to perform various services, including sub-advisory services, administrative services, custodial services, brokerage and/or other services and such affiliates receive compensation for providing such services. Please refer to Item 10 for additional information. 12  Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Below are the fees for SIMC’s investment programs offered to Intermediaries for use with their End Investors. Intermediaries may charge End Investors additional fees for their investment advisory services, and SIMC does not establish, review or approve those fees. Fees for separate accounts may be negotiable based on a variety of factors. SEI Funds and SEI Asset Allocation Program Each SEI Fund and SEI ETF pays an advisory fee to SIMC that is based on a percentage of the portfolio's average daily net assets, as described in the applicable fund’s prospectus. From such amount, SIMC pays a portion of the advisory fee to the sub-advisor(s) to the SEI Funds, if any. SIMC’s fund advisory fee varies, but it typically ranges from 0.03% - 1.50% of the portfolio's average daily net assets for its advisory services. Affiliates of SIMC provide administrative, distribution, to all of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs and transfer agency services to most of the SEI Funds, as noted above and as described in the SEI Funds’ and SEI ETFs registration statements and are paid fee from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs for such services. However, in connection with the SEI ETFs, SIMC pays all fund expenses, except for the fees paid to SIMC for advisory services, interest expenses, dividend and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions (including brokerage commissions), acquired fund fees and expenses, distribution fees or expenses. These fees and expenses are paid by the SEI Funds and SEI ETF but ultimately are borne by each shareholder of the SEI Funds and SEI ETF. If an End Investor invests in a model available through the Asset Allocation Program, the End Investor will be charged the expense ratios of each of the SEI Funds included in the applicable model. Intermediaries (and their End Investors) may have the option to purchase certain SIMC investment products, including SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, that SIMC recommends through other brokers or agents not affiliated with SIMC. Independent Funds Model Program The advisory fee charged by SIMC to the Intermediary using the Independent Funds Model program ranges from 0.08% - 0.30%. In addition, the Intermediary’s End Investor will incur the expense ratios of the underlying mutual funds, ETFs, SEI Funds and SEI ETFs allocated to a model and held in an account, as noted in each fund’s prospectus. Managed Account Solutions In MAS, Intermediaries pay a fee to SIMC for its advisory services, the trade execution provided by SIMC’s affiliate SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”), the advisory services of portfolio managers and, in certain cases, custody and related services provided by SEI Private Trust Company (“SPTC”). SIMC’s fees are a percentage of the daily market value of the assets invested in the relevant portfolio. The MAS fees do not cover certain costs, charges or compensation associated with transactions effected in an End Investor’s account, including but not limited to, broker-dealer spreads, certain broker-dealer mark-ups or mark-downs on principal transactions; auction fees; fees charged by exchanges on a per transaction basis; certain odd-lot differentials; transfer taxes; electronic fund and wire transfer fees; fees on NASDAQ transactions; certain costs associated with trading in foreign securities; any other charges mandated by law. In addition, the SIMC fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) on transactions SIMC places with broker- dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates. 13  SIMC’s maximum fee schedule for MAS is as follows: PM Model Description Category 1 All Cap, Equity Income, Global Equity, International Developed Markets, International Equity, Large Cap, Managed Volatility, Mid Cap, Sustainable Investing Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million SIMC Fee* 0.80% 0.75% 0.70% 0.65% 0.60% 0.55% PM Model Description Category 2 International Emerging Markets, Small Cap, Small-Mid Cap, REIT Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million SIMC Fee* 1.00% 0.95% 0.90% 0.85% 0.80% 0.75% PM Model Description Category 3 Alternative-Income, Alternative-Tax Advantage Income, Core Aggregate, Core Plus Aggregate, Corporate Bond, Government/Corporate Bond, Government Securities, Municipal Fixed Income, Multi-Sector Fixed Income, Preferred Securities SIMC Fee* 0.60% 0.55% 0.51% 0.49% 0.45% 0.40% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million PM Model Description Breakpoints SIMC Fee* Category 4 SEI Dynamic ETF Strategies, SEI Dynamic ETF Income Strategies, SEI Stability ETF Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed ETF Strategies, SEI U.S. Focused Tax-Managed ETF Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed ETF Income Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed Stability ETF Strategies First $250,000 Next $250,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million 0.40% 0.35% 0.30% 0.25% 0.20% 0.17% 0.15% PM Model Description SIMC Fee* Category 5 SEI Fixed Income Strategies 0.30% 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million 14  PM Model Description SIMC Fee* Category 6 SEI Factor Based Strategies Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million 0.45% 0.30% 0.27% 0.22% 0.20% 0.18% PM Model Description SIMC Fee* 0.30% Category 7 SEI ETF Strategies, SEI ETF Current Income Strategies, SEI U.S. Focused ETF Strategies 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million PM Model Description Category 8 Third Party Fund Models, SEI Multi-Asset Income Strategies, SEI Sustainable ETF Strategies Breakpoints First $250,000 Next $250,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $1 million Next $2 million Over $5 million SIMC Fee* 0.40% 0.30% 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% PM Model Description SIMC Fee* 0.35% Category 9 SEI Systematic Core 1 0.25% 0.22% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million Tax Overlay Tax Overlay SIMC Fee* 0.10% in addition to the Fee described above 0.05% in addition to the SIMC Fee described above Factor Tilts 1 Factor Tilts applicable to fees identified in Category 9 above only 15  **SIMC Fee breakpoint levels are determined based on an End Investor’s total account assets invested in a SIMC Managed Account Strategy categorized within the same SIMC Managed Account Strategy description groupings/fee rate schedules listed above. By way of example only, if an account is invested in two SIMC Managed Account Strategies, the first being a model classified as a Small Cap style and a second model classified as a Small-Mid Cap style, the account assets invested in those two SIMC Managed Account Strategies will be combined for purposes of determining the applicable breakpoint levels for purposes of calculating the fees payable to SIMC. Breakpoints are not applied across the style description groupings/fee rate schedules. By way of example only, if an account is invested in an SIMC Managed Account Strategy classified as a Small Cap style as well as in a second SIMC Managed Account Strategy classified as an Alternative Income style, those account assets will not be combined for purposes of determining the applicable breakpoint level for calculating Fees, but assets allocated to each such SIMC Managed Account Strategy will be considered individually in determining fees payable to SIMC. The maximum Fee an End Investor will pay is 1.25%. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part based on SIMC's relationship with the firm. SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. End Investor will also pay the Intermediary a fee as indicated on the account application. SIMC charges an additional fee up to 0.60% to support Intermediary affiliated or third-party-sub-advisors established under MAS. In addition, SIMC will charge an additional fee when the Intermediary selects the tax management feature. SIMC will also charge an integration fee where the Intermediary designates a portfolio that is managed by an affiliated or third-party sub-advisor to receive the overlay services. These additional fees only apply to the equity portion of an account that is identified to receive the overlay services; the fees do not apply to the fixed income or mutual funds portion of the account (if applicable). Certain Intermediaries may receive a fee discount, at the sole discretion of SIMC. Unless otherwise agreed, SIMC’s fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and net of any income, withholding or other taxes. SIMC invoices the Intermediary for the MAS fees on a quarterly basis. In some cases, SIMC’s fees are paid via an Intermediaries instruction to disburse such fee from the applicable End Investor account. These fees may be higher or lower than those charged by other firms for similar services. Intermediaries (and their End Investors) may have the option to purchase certain SIMC investment products, including the SEI Funds, that SIMC recommends through other brokers or agents not affiliated with SIMC. SIMC may also charge Intermediaries a one-time fee of up to $100,000 for initial implementation of MAS. SIMC may impose minimum account balances ranging from $50,000 to $1,000,000 depending upon the portfolio and whether the Intermediary selects the tax management feature. To the extent assets in MAS are invested in SEI Funds, SIMC and its affiliates will earn fund-level fees on those assets, as set forth in the applicable SEI Fund’s prospectus. Distribution Focused Strategies Since certain strategies in DFS invest in SEI Funds, SIMC and its affiliates will earn fund-level fees on those assets, as set forth in the applicable Fund’s prospectus. Please see the SEI Funds fees section in this Item 5 for more information. Additionally, for DFS, SIMC charges a maximum fee of 0.20% for providing administrative and recordkeeping services and other services to accounts invested in DFS. The fee is calculated and paid to SIMC quarterly in arrears. SIMC will invoice the Intermediaries for this fee on a quarterly basis. Further, End Investor assets will be custodied at SPTC and the Intermediary may be charged fees for services provided on the End Investor accounts. These fees will vary depending on the trading activity in and general administrative support for the account. SPTC invoices the Intermediary for these fees on a monthly basis. The Intermediary will then charge the End Investor directly for these charges. SIMC may impose minimum account balances ranging from $50,000 to $1,000,000 depending upon the DFS Portfolio chosen. 16  SIMC’s maximum fee schedule for DFS accounts invested in ETFs is as follows: Strategy Breakpoints SIMC Fee* First $250,000 0.40% Next $250,000 0.35% Next $500,000 0.30% DFS Strategies - ETF Models Next $1 million 0.25% Next $3 million 0.20% Next $5 million 0.17% Over $10 million 0.15% *Fee breakpoint levels are determined based on an End Investor’s total account assets invested in the SEI ETF Strategies listed above. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part based on SIMC's relationship with the Intermediary. SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. End Investor will also pay the Intermediary fee as indicated in their agreement with the Intermediary. Strategist Models For sub-advisory programs consisting of advice concerning Sub-Advisory Models comprised of SEI Funds, other than SEI Funds offered under the SEI Institutional Investments Trust (“SIIT”) umbrella, SIMC does not charge a separate investment management fee on these models. Since these models invest in SEI Funds, SIMC and its affiliates will earn fund-level fees on assets, as set forth in the applicable Funds’ prospectuses. End Investors may also be charged custody or other fees by the custodian. For Sub-advisory Models consisting of allocation to SIIT Funds and/or unaffiliated products, SIMC may charge a fee as negotiated with the Intermediary that generally will not exceed 1.25%. Additional Compensation Private Banking sales team members compensation includes a base salary plus variable sales compensation (which may include equity awards) earned based on achieving annual sales goals.From time to time, these team members may also receive additional compensation based on the sale of certain SIMC investment products. This could create a conflict of interest whereby the sales team members may be incented to recommend investment products based on the compensation received rather than on the End Investor’s needs. However, this risk is mitigated by the fact that an Intermediary works directly with its End Investors to agree on the investment products selected for each End Investor. Please see Item 14 for additional information concerning services and benefits SIMC and its affiliates provide to Intermediaries. 17  Item 6 – Performance Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management SIMC does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client) to Intermediaries or End Investors. 18  Item 7 – Types of Clients Please refer to Item 4 for a description of the types of clients, Intermediaries and End Investors to whom SIMC and SEI Private Banking generally provides investment advice. Please refer to Item 5 for information regarding fees and minimum account sizes. 19  Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss SIMC’s Overall Investment Philosophy SIMC’s philosophy is based on four key components: asset allocation, portfolio design, implementation, and risk management. SIMC’s philosophy and process offers clients personalization, diversification, coordination and management and represents a strategy geared toward achieving long-term investment goals in various financial climates. Asset Allocation. SIMC’s approach to asset allocation takes clients’ goals into account, along with more traditional inputs such as asset class risk and return expectations. We believe that acknowledging and accounting for common behavioral biases while simultaneously harnessing the power of efficient portfolio construction can help investors maximize the chances of achieving their financial objectives. We also believe that constructing portfolios according to investors’ major financial goals (such as retirement, education or lifestyle) and aligned with the risk tolerance associated with each of those objectives provides a greater understanding of how the goals and investments align. This should allow for a higher level of comfort with the overall investment strategy—thereby increasing the odds that investors will remain invested in the financial markets and focused on achieving their goals rather than making portfolio changes as a reaction to short-term market volatility. We believe that maintaining consistent exposure to the markets over time is the surest way to earn attractive returns, and that doing so with a goals- based approach should help investors achieve their financial goals. In constructing portfolios that correspond with a particular objective, we seek to deliver the maximum expected return available given the goal’s risk tolerance. SIMC constructs multiple model portfolios to address a wide variety of client goals and dedicates considerable resources to evolving our investment offerings to help keep pace with an ever-changing market. Portfolio Design. In terms of portfolio design, SIMC generally attempts to identify alpha source(s), or opportunities for returns in excess of the benchmark, across equity, fixed-income and alternative- investment portfolios. SIMC looks for potential sources of excess return that have demonstrated staying power over the long term across multiple markets in a given geographic region. Alpha sources are classified into broad categories; categorizing them in this manner allows us to create portfolios that are not simply diversified between asset classes (e.g., equity and fixed-income strategies), but also diversified across the underlying drivers of alpha. Implementation. When building portfolios, SIMC seeks to identify, analyze, select, and monitor investment strategies with characteristics that can be expected to outperform the portfolio’s benchmark in the future— through both external investment managers and internally managed portfolios. SIMC may use a multi-manager implementation, which means that SIMC hires sub-advisors (third- party and affiliated) to select individual securities. As a multi-manager, SIMC aims to identify, classify and validate manager skill when choosing sub-advisors. Differentiating manager skill from market- generated returns is one of SIMC’s primary objectives, as it seeks to identify sub-advisors that it believes can deliver superior results over time. SIMC develops forward-looking expectations regarding how a manager will execute a given investment mandate, environments the strategy might in which the strategy should outperform and environments in which underperform. In certain circumstances, SIMC may default to internal managers due to similar risk and return characteristics and similarly positioned results that provide improved pricing. While SEI applies its internal controls and review processes over its internally managed strategies, these controls differ from the processes SIMC uses to oversee third party managers. Due to these differences, SEI will not normally downgrade or replace a recommended SEI-managed strategy as it would 20  with a third party manager, since SEI would address concerns with its managed strategies through its internal processes. SIMC selects sub-advisors based on SIMC's manager research process. SIMC uses proprietary databases and software, supplemented by data from various third parties, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of sub-advisors. The qualitative analysis focuses on a manager's investment philosophy, process, personnel, portfolio construction and performance. Quantitative analysis identifies the sources of a manager's return relative to a benchmark. SIMC typically uses performance attribution models from providers such as Axioma, BlackRock and others in this process. SIMC typically appoints several sub-advisors within a stated asset class. For instance, SIMC will generally have more than one sub-advisor assigned to the large-cap growth asset class. After identifying the investment strategy, factors, and investment managers, SIMC implements a portfolio construction process that seeks to build the optimal portfolio to achieve the stated investment objectives. Strategically, it needs to ensure that the portfolio is sufficiently exposed to targeted factors and an appropriate level of risk (in absolute or benchmark-relative terms, depending on the objective), while remaining suitably diversified. SIMC makes adjustments to the portfolio as needed in order to maintain the balance between sources of risk and return. Tactically, it also adjusts the portfolio throughout the market cycle—leaning more heavily into factors that are expected to outperform in the years ahead and downplaying those expected to underperform. Risk Management. SIMC relies on a risk management group to focus on common risks across and within asset classes. Daily monitoring of assigned portfolio tolerances and deviations result in an active risk mitigation program. SIMC employs a multi-asset risk-management system to provide a consistent view of risk across asset classes—while preserving a distinct separation between risk oversight and portfolio management in order to preserve objectivity. The Investment Risk Management team is responsible for determining whether the risks of SEI’s investment strategies are consistent with their mandates. It reports directly to SEI’s Chief Risk Officer, which helps maintain impartiality and allows for direct access and support from senior management. Governance. In an effort to remain unbiased, SIMC’s governance structure is independent of portfolio management. It includes various oversight committees, which are each chaired by the head of Investment Risk Management. Manager Research Services SIMC offers various manager research services both within SIMC’s MAS program and outside of such program as a stand-alone service. We discuss these services below. 1. Research Fundamental to SIMC’s Investment Management Services (Within SIMC’s MAS program). As a pioneer in the manager-of managers investment approach, a fundamental component of SIMC’s core investment services is researching the available universe of third-party sub-advisor strategies and hiring only those sub-advisors meeting SIMC’s criteria for specific asset classes as sub-advisors within SIMC’s various managed account types, including as sub-advisors to the SEI Funds and foreign pooled funds, as well as making these manager strategies available in SIMC’s sponsored MAS program (both U.S. and global). For the MAS program, SIMC conducts research on the universe of available sub-advisor strategies in order to select and retain sub- advisors SIMC believes are appropriate (or terminate if inappropriate) for the MAS program when SIMC 21  is acting in a fiduciary capacity. And, on occasion SIMC may provide our manager research analysis to certain of our clients investing in this program when requested as part of the investment management services provided. 2. Stand-Alone Research (Outside of SIMC’s MAS program). As an outgrowth of SIMC’s competency in vetting sub-advisor strategies (as noted above), SIMC provides a service in which institutional clients (e.g., banks, large financial service providers, etc.) hire SIMC to conduct research on third-party investment manager strategies as requested by the institutional client. When providing “Stand-Alone Research Services,” SIMC is not hired to act as a discretionary manager to the client, but rather to conduct investment research on any third-party investment manager strategy as directed by the client and in accordance with the research agreement outlining the services provided. Generally, when providing Stand-Alone Research Services: a. The levels of research SIMC conducts on a manager and the manager’s investment strategy will vary based on the contracted level of services, but generally involves either a quantitative and/or qualitative review of the manager and its associated strategy, with written documentation commensurate with the level of service providing insights and, in all cases, summarizing SIMC’s point of view on the manager strategy. Service levels generally differ as to the extent (or depth) of the research SIMC will conduct initially and on- going on the manager strategies selected for research by a client as set forth in the applicable research agreement. b. On occasion, as part of the Stand-Alone Research Services, a client may request SIMC to provide research on a manager investment strategy that is currently used by SIMC within one or more of SIMC’s managed investment programs where SIMC has hired the manager as a sub-advisor (e.g., the manager is a sub-advisor to an SEI Fund or available in MAS) (each, a “SIMC Contracted Strategy”). While the research output provided to the client about a SIMC Contracted Strategy may be the same as the output provided on a third- party manager strategy under the Stand-Alone Research Services, SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies because of its inclusion in SIMC’s MAS program (or as sub- advisor to an SEI Fund) and a result of SIMC’s familiarity with such SIMC Contracted Strategies. This research includes in depth initial and ongoing reviews of the manager’s investment strategy and methodologies, investment personnel, business structure and compliance program. Accordingly, SIMC generally charges Stand- Alone Research Service clients a different fee (generally under a basis point fee schedule) when providing research on SIMC Contracted Strategies. As a result of the pricing model, such fees may be more (or less in some cases) than what SIMC charges clients for research on third-party manager strategies, regardless of the level of research 22  output requested. This differentiated fee schedule is intended to reflect the additional initial and on-going research and due diligence conducted on SIMC Contracted Strategies, including services not generally provided in connection with the Stand-Alone Research Services. If our view of a SIMC Contracted Strategy changes (i.e., downgraded), this change may be reflected in our investment programs (e.g., manager termination/changes) prior to the time we notify research clients of the change in SIMC’s view of the strategy. c. The level of research we conduct on third-party managers depends on client contracted service levels. As a result, if clients with different service levels request research on the same manager investment strategy, clients may receive different levels of analysis output, such as a more detailed manager reports versus shorter analysis summaries. However, in all cases research output includes SIMC’s point of view of the strategy and changes by SIMC in this regard are communicated to all research clients at the same time. strategy available through a d. As part of the Stand-Alone Research Services a client may request SIMC to recommend investment strategies for specified asset classes when the client is adding an additional asset class to its investment program or the client is replacing a current manager’s investment strategy (each, a “Recommended Strategy”). In many cases a Recommend Strategy may be available through several delivery methods, such as through separately managed accounts or through pooled vehicles, such as mutual funds sponsored or managed by the applicable investment manager. While SIMC does not normally consider an investment strategy’s various delivery methods as part of the Research Services, if a client has informed SIMC that it prefers a pooled fund implementation, SIMC will limit its research universe to investment strategies available through a fund implementation. And, SIMC will also provide limited research on the available pooled vehicles. In some cases SIMC may not recommend an investment strategy that it would have otherwise recommended as a result of this product-level review, and will instead recommend a different investment manger’s fund implementation. e. When recommending investment strategies as part of the Stand- Alone Research Services, to the extent an investment strategy meeting the client’s requested asset class/investment style criteria is available, SIMC will first recommend a SIMC Contracted Strategy since SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies. If a Contracted Strategy does not meet the client’s requested criteria, SIMC will then recommend a third party investment strategy based on SIMC’s research of available investment strategies. In certain situations that vary based on how the customer chooses to implement a recommended Contracted 23  Strategy, SIMC will earn compensation that it would not earn by recommending an investment strategy not available within SIMC’s current investment programs. For instance, if the customer uses MAS or an SEI Fund to access the recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC, and it some cases, SIMC’s affiliates, would earn fees in addition to the Stand-Alone Research Service fees. Any additional compensation SIMC (or its affiliates) would earn as a result of any such recommendation is disclosed to the client at the time of the recommendation and any use of such recommend investment strategy remains solely with the client. 3. Affiliates Model Platform Services. SIMC’s affiliates provide a technology and operational service platform to deliver to these institutional customers’ manager strategy model data for manager strategies selected by such customers. While these investment models are selected by client independently, and not by SIMC, in many cases SIMC may have provided research on the investment strategies selected by the client under a research contract. In certain cases, SIMC and its affiliate may jointly contract with an institutional client to provide both Stand Alone Research and model delivery services. To the extent that a model platform client selects a SIMC Contracted Strategy for model, SIMC’s affiliate providing model delivery services may agree to reduce or waive its model delivery platform service fee otherwise payable, as SIMC is already receiving model delivery information in connection with its own managed investment programs and, as noted above, generally charges clients more for research on SIMC manager strategies. This fee waiver may create an incentive for SIMC’s client to select a SIMC Contracted Strategy over a non-SIMC Contracted Strategy as a result of the lower model platform delivery fee. SIMC informs clients, which are typically sophisticated financial intermediaries, of this fee structure when contracting with the client for model delivery services. 4. SIMC’s Affiliates Service Sub-Advisors. SIMC’s affiliates provide technology, operational and administrative services to a wide variety of financial service intermediaries, including sub- advisors that may be subject to research ratings by SIMC. While this business relationship could cause a potential conflict of interest by SIMC when rating a manager strategy, to mitigate any conflicts, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEIC program and/or strategy offering. 5. SEI Access Marketplace Select List (the “Select List”). The SEI Access Marketplace is a digital platform developed by SEI Access Platform, LLC (the “Access Platform”), an affiliate of SIMC, to provide access to alternative investments for financial professionals. The SEI Access Marketplace includes subscription processing and educational content. SIMC has been engaged by the Access Platform, through its affiliate SIDCO, to perform certain research services (i.e., the Select List) for the Access Platform. The Select List is a subset of the alternative investment offerings 24  available through the SEI Access Marketplace that have gone through an in- depth due diligence review conducted by, and that have meet certain criteria developed by, SIMC (the “Select List Funds”). In connection with the Select List, SIMC also produces a proprietary due diligence report (the “Select List Due Diligence Report”) for each such Select List Funds which is made available to the financial professionals accessing the SEI Access Marketplace. SIMC’s client under this arrangement is the Access Platform. The Select List, along with the Select List Due Diligence Reports, are made available on the SEI Access Marketplace for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice, a recommendation or an endorsement of the Select List Funds. SIMC may provide recommendations outside of the Select List when making individualized investment recommendations to its advisory clients. Implementation Through Investment Products The foregoing discusses SIMC’s investment philosophy in designing diversified investment portfolios for SIMC’s clients. In most cases, implementation of a client’s investment portfolio is accomplished through investing in a range of investment products, which may include mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, closed- end funds, including interval funds, private equity funds, collective investment trusts, or managed accounts. In order to provide clients with sufficient diversification and flexibility, SIMC manages products across a very wide range of investment strategies. These would include, to varying degrees, large and small capitalization U.S. equities, foreign developed markets equities, foreign emerging markets equity, real estate securities, U.S. investment grade fixed income securities, U.S. high yield (below investment grade) fixed income securities, foreign developed market fixed income securities, emerging markets debt, U.S. and foreign government securities, currencies, structured or asset-backed fixed income securities (including mortgage-backed), municipal bonds and other types of asset classes. SIMC also manages Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) investments and Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLO”) investments within certain investment products. CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. SIMC may also seek to achieve a product’s investment objectives by investing in derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards, options, swaps or other types of derivative instruments. Additionally, SIMC may also seek to achieve an investment product’s objective by investing some or all of its assets in affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, including money market funds. Within a mutual fund product, SIMC may also seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in a wholly owned subsidiary of the mutual fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain of SIMC’s product strategies may also attempt to utilize tax-management techniques to manage the impact of taxes. Further, SIMC may invest SIMC’s alternative funds and interval funds in third-party hedge funds or private equity funds that engage in a wide variety of investment techniques and strategies that carry varying degrees of risks. This may include long-short equity strategies, equity market neutral, merger arbitrage, credit hedging, distressed debt, sovereign debt, real estate, private equity investments, derivatives, currencies or other types of investments. While SIMC’s investment strategies are normally implemented through pooled investment products, certain clients’ assets are invested directly in the target investments through a managed account or other means. The strategies that SIMC implements in such accounts is currently more limited than the breadth of strategies contained in SIMC’s funds, and generally covers U.S. large and small capitalization equity securities, international and emerging market ADRs, REITs, and U.S. fixed income securities, including government securities and municipal bonds. SIMC may also implement strategies involving derivative securities directly within a 25  client’s accounts. Investment Product Strategies Since SIMC implements such a broad range of strategies within its investment products, it would not be practical to set forth in detail each strategy that SIMC has developed for use across its products. The disclosure in this Brochure is not intended to supplant any product-specific disclosure documents. Clients should refer to the prospectus or other offering materials that it receives in conjunction with investing in a SIMC investment product for a detailed discussion of the strategy and risks associated with such product. Moreover, this Form ADV disclosure addresses strategies designed and implemented by SIMC and does not address strategies that are implemented by third parties (e.g., unaffiliated investment advisors, banks, institutions or other intermediaries) through the use of SIMC products. A strategy’s exposure to the foregoing asset classes, including the degree of exposure, is subject to change at any time due to evolving investment philosophies and market conditions. The risks associated with such strategies are also therefore subject to change at any time. Material Risks All strategies implemented by SIMC involve a risk of loss that clients should understand, accept and be prepared to bear. Given the very wide range of investments in which a client’s assets may be invested, either directly by investing in individual securities and/or through one or more pooled investment vehicles or funds, there is similarly a very wide range of risks to which a client’s assets may be exposed. This Brochure does not include every potential risk associated with an investment strategy, or all of the risks applicable to a particular advisory account. Rather, it is a general description of the nature and risks of the strategies and securities and other financial instruments in which advisory accounts may invest. The particular risks to which a specific client might be exposed will depend on the specific investment strategies incorporated into that client’s portfolio. As such, for a detailed description of the material risks of investing in a particular product, the client should, on or prior to investing, also refer to such product’s prospectus or other offering materials. Set forth below are certain material risks to which a client might be exposed in connection with SIMC’s implementation of a strategy for client accounts: Absolute Return – A portfolio that seeks to achieve an absolute return with reduced correlation to stock and bond markets may not achieve positive returns over short or long term periods. Investment strategies that have historically been non-correlated or have demonstrated low correlations to one another or to stock and bond markets may become correlated at certain times and, as a result, may cease to function as anticipated over either short or long term periods. Artificial Intelligence Technology - The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of certain artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning models and generative artificial intelligence (collectively “AI”), may adversely impact markets, the overall performance of a Fund’s investments, or the services provided to a Fund. AI technologies are highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data and complex algorithms, and it is possible that the information provided through use of AI technologies could be insufficient, incomplete, inaccurate or biased, leading to adverse effects for a Fund, including, potentially, operational errors and investment losses. AI technologies and their current and potential future applications, and the regulatory frameworks within which they operate, continue to rapidly evolve, and it is impossible to predict the full extent of future applications or regulations and the associated risks to a Fund. To the extent a Fund invests in companies that are involved in various aspects of AI, 26  the Fund will be affected by the risks of those types of companies, including changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, and changes in government regulation. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. Companies that are extensively involved in AI also may rely heavily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies’ technology. Further, because of the innovative nature of the AI market, outpaced advancement by one company or increasing market share by one company could result in rapid and substantial declines in the value of competing companies. In addition, market reaction to the potential impact of AI could result in excess demand for access to AI-related investments, thereby resulting in accelerated growth in the market value of such companies, which may then be subject to sharp resets in the wake of news or other information that tempers expectations of AI or of particular AI-related companies, thus potentially resulting in periods of high volatility in the price of such securities, which could negatively affect the Funds’ performance. Asset Allocation Risk – The risk that an investment advisor’s decisions regarding a portfolio’s allocation to asset classes or underlying funds will not anticipate market trends successfully. Asset-Backed Securities Risk – Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the portfolio may acquire. Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk – Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as “high yield bonds,” but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return. These risks may be increased in foreign and emerging markets. Call Risk — Issuers of callable bonds may call (redeem) securities with higher coupons or interest rates before their maturity dates. A portfolio may be forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the portfolio’s income. Bonds may be called due to falling interest rates or non-economic circumstances. Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) Risk – CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. CDOs and CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CDO and CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CDOs and CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CDO or CLO, respectively, in which the portfolio invests. CDOs and CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk, which are described below. For example, a liquidity crisis in the global credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and high-yield debt securities and limited liquidity for such instruments. When a portfolio invests in CDOs or CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CDO’s or CLO’s expenses. The impact of expenses is especially relevant when a portfolio invests in the lowest tranche (the “equity tranche”) of a CDO or CLO. At the equity tranche level, expenses of a CDO 27  or CLO may reduce distributions available to the portfolio before impacting distributions available to investors above the equity tranche and thereby disproportionately impact the portfolio’s investment in such CDO or CLO. Commercial Paper Risk — Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured short-term promissory notes issued by corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. Commercial paper is usually sold on a discount basis and has a maturity at the time of issuance generally not exceeding 270 days. The value of commercial paper may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities. The value of commercial paper will tend to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk – Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stock or other securities that may be converted into or exercised for a prescribed amount of common stock at a specified time and price. The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value typically declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline, and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature. Convertible securities may also be rated below investment grade (junk bonds) or may not be rated and are subject to credit risk and prepayment risk. Preferred stocks are nonvoting equity securities that pay a stated fixed or variable rate dividend. Due to their fixed income features, preferred stocks provide higher income potential than issuers’ common stocks, but are typically more sensitive to interest rate changes than an underlying common stock. Preferred stocks are also subject to equity market risk. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities. Preferred stock may also be subject to prepayment risk. Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk – Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as to perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers. Credit Risk – The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. Currency Risk – As a result of investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies a portfolio will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the portfolio would be adversely affected. To the extent that a portfolio takes active or passive positions in securities denominated in foreign currencies it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. Depositary Receipts Risk – Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. Current Market Conditions Risk — A particular investment, or the market value of a portfolio’s investments in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both 28  domestic and abroad may adversely impact the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could negatively impact a portfolio’s investments and operations. In particular, the imposition of tariffs on foreign countries has led to retaliatory tariffs by certain foreign countries and could lead to retaliatory tariffs imposed by additional foreign countries, as well as increased and prolonged market volatility, and sector-specific downturns in industries reliant on international trade. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. If any geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets and individual securities may be adversely affected, and the value of a portfolio’s assets may decline. Additional examples of events that have led to fluctuations in markets include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments and businesses, elevated inflation levels and problems in the banking sector. Additionally, advancements in technologies such as AI may also adversely impact markets, disrupt existing industries and sectors and dislocate opportunities in the labor force, which could negatively affect the overall performance of a portfolio. Depositary Receipts Risk – Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. Derivatives Risk – A portfolio’s use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market risk are described below. Many over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. A portfolio’s use of forward contracts and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of these risks could cause a portfolio to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the portfolio’s initial investment. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. The portfolio’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by investors. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and implemented regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear. Duration Risk – Longer-term securities in which a portfolio may invest tend to be more volatile than shorter term securities. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration. Environment, Social and Governance Investment Criteria Risk – If a portfolio is subject to certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities, or may sell certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise 29  economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the application of portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively or negatively, depending on whether these issuers, industries, sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor. An adviser or vendor can vary materially from other ESG advisers and vendors with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios or screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a result, an adviser’s or vendor’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG advisers or vendors with respect to the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria is dependent on data and is subject to the risk that such data reported by issuers or received from third party sources may be subjective, or may be objective in principal but not verified or reliable. Equity Market Risk – The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Equity market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole. Equity markets may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk (including leveraged ETFs) – The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities or other instruments the ETF is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Leveraged ETFs contain all of the risks that non- leveraged ETFs present. Additionally, to the extent the portfolio invests in ETFs that achieve leveraged exposure to their underlying indexes through the use of derivative instruments, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to leverage risk, described below. Leveraged Inverse ETFs seek to provide investment results that match a negative multiple of the performance of an underlying index. To the extent that the portfolio invests in Leveraged Inverse ETFs, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to the risk that the performance of such ETF will fall as the performance of that ETF’s benchmark rises. Leveraged and Leveraged Inverse ETFs often “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. These investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose a portfolio to significant losses. When a portfolio invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF’s expenses. See also, “Exchange-Traded Products Risk”, below. Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) Risk — The risks of owning interests of an ETP, such as an ETF, ETN or exchange-traded commodity pool, generally reflect the same risks as owning the underlying securities or other instruments that the ETP is designed to track. The shares of certain ETPs may trade at a premium or discount to their intrinsic value (i.e., the market value may differ from the net asset value of an ETP’s shares). For example, supply and demand for shares of an ETF or market disruptions may cause the market price of the ETF to deviate from the value of the ETF’s investments, which may be emphasized in less liquid markets. The value of an ETN may also differ from the valuation of its reference market or instrument due to changes in the issuer’s credit rating. By investing in an ETP, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, the portfolio indirectly bears the proportionate share of any fees and expenses of the ETP. Because certain ETPs may have a significant portion of their assets exposed directly or indirectly to commodities or commodity-linked securities, developments affecting commodities may have a disproportionate impact on such ETPs and may subject the 30  ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Extension Risk – The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security’s value. Fixed Income Market Risk —The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market- making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. Markets for fixed income securities may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long- term. In response to these events, a portfolio’s value may fluctuate. Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk – The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries. Investments in emerging markets are subject to the added risk that information in emerging market investments may be unreliable or outdated due to differences in regulatory, accounting or auditing and financial record keeping standards, or because less information about emerging market investments is publicly available. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with emerging market investments may be different than investments in developed markets. A lack of reliable information, rights and remedies increase the risks of investing in emerging markets in comparison to more developed markets. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the portfolio to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the portfolio. Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — The risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. Income Risk – The possibility that a portfolio’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. Inflation Protected Securities Risk – The value of inflation protected securities, including TIPS, generally will fluctuate in response to changes in “real” interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal (or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In addition, interest payments on inflation- indexed securities will generally vary up or down along with the rate of inflation. Inflation Protected Securities Risk – The value of inflation protected securities, including TIPS, generally will fluctuate in response to changes in “real” interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal (or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In addition, 31  interest payments on inflation-indexed securities will generally vary up or down along with the rate of inflation. Interest Rate Risk – The risk that a change in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities in which the portfolio invests. Generally, the value of a portfolio’s fixed income securities will vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by a portfolio. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Interval Fund Risk – See also, “Investment Company Risk” below. Unlike many closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, an interval fund typically does not intend to list its shares for trading on any securities exchange and does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares in the foreseeable future. Therefore, an investment in an interval fund, unlike an investment in a typical closed-end fund, is not a liquid investment. An interval fund is designed primarily for long- term investors and not as a trading vehicle. An interval fund will, subject to applicable law, conduct quarterly repurchase offers of a portion of its outstanding shares at net asset value. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their Shares repurchased. Even though an interval fund will make quarterly repurchase offers, you should consider the Shares to be illiquid. Investment Company Risk – When a portfolio invests in an investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company’s expenses. In addition, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, a portfolio may be subject to additional or different risks than if the portfolio had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Closed-end investment companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value. As a result, a closed- end fund’s share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund. See also, “Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) Risk” and “Interval Fund Risk” above. Investment Style Risk – The risk that the portfolio’s strategy may underperform other segments of the markets or the markets as a whole. Large Capitalization Risk – The risk that larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies. Leverage Risk – A portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in the portfolio’s total investment exposure substantially exceeding the value of its securities and the portfolio’s investment returns depending substantially on the performance of securities that the portfolio may not directly own. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the portfolio's value and may also cause the portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The portfolio’s use of leverage may result in a heightened risk of investment loss. Liquidity Risk – The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the portfolio would like. The portfolio may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could 32  have a negative effect on portfolio management or performance. Master Limited Partnership (MLP) Risk – Investments in units of master limited partnerships involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of master limited partnerships have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment in units of master limited partnerships. In addition, conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders, subordinated unit holders and the general partner of a master limited partnership, including a conflict arising as a result of incentive distribution payments. The benefit the portfolio derives from investment in MLP units is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships and not as corporations for federal income tax purposes. If an MLP were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, there would be reduction in the after- tax return to the portfolio of distributions from the MLP, likely causing a reduction in the value of the portfolio. MLP entities are typically focused in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors of the economy could have an adverse impact on the portfolio. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Money Market Funds – With respect to an investment in money market funds, an investment in the money market fund is not a bank deposit nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund may seek to maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, you may lose money by investing in the money market fund. A money market fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. This could have a significant adverse effect on the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, and, in extreme circumstances, could cause the fund liquidate completely. Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk – Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage- backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the portfolio’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the portfolio’s expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancing and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the portfolio. Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk – Mortgage dollar rolls, or “covered rolls,” are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities (usually mortgage-backed securities) and simultaneously contracts to repurchase, typically in 30 or 60 days, substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, a portfolio forgoes principal and interest paid on such securities. A portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “drop”), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. At the end of the roll commitment period, a portfolio may or may not take delivery of the securities it has contracted to purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash settlement and initially may involve only a firm 33  commitment agreement by the portfolio to buy a security. A “covered roll” is a specific type of mortgage dollar roll for which there is an offsetting cash position or cash equivalent securities position that matures on or before the forward settlement date of the mortgage dollar roll transaction. As used herein, the term “mortgage dollar roll” refers to mortgage dollar rolls that are not “covered rolls.” If the broker-dealer to whom a portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Other risks involved in entering into mortgage dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the security may change adversely over the term of the mortgage dollar roll and that the security a portfolio is required to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the portfolio originally held. Municipal Securities Risk – Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer- term securities usually respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer’s current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by a portfolio. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of a portfolio’s holdings. As a result, a portfolio will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a portfolio that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be underwritten or guaranteed by a relatively small number of financial services firms, so changes in the municipal securities market that affect those firms may decrease the availability of municipal instruments in the market, thereby making it difficult to identify and obtain appropriate investments for the portfolio. Also, there may be economic or political changes that impact the ability of issuers of municipal securities to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by the portfolio. Any changes in the financial condition of municipal issuers also may adversely affect the value of the portfolio’s securities. Non-Diversified Risk – To the extent that a portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. The portfolio may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic, political, or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. Opportunity Risk – The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other investments. Options — An option is a contract between two parties for the purchase and sale of a financial instrument for a specified price at any time during the option period. Unlike a futures contract, an option grants the purchaser, in exchange for a premium payment, a right (not an obligation) to buy or sell a financial instrument. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. The seller of an uncovered call (buy) option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the call option without ever getting the opportunity to execute the option. The seller (writer) of a covered put (sell) option (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) will suffer a loss if the increase in the 34  market price of the underlying security is greater than the premium received from the buyer of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the put option without ever getting the opportunity to exercise the option. An option’s time value (i.e., the component of the option’s value that exceeds the in-the-money amount) tends to diminish over time. Even though an option may be in-the-money to the buyer at various times prior to its expiration date, the buyer’s ability to realize the value of an option depends on when and how the option may be exercised. For example, the terms of a transaction may provide for the option to be exercised automatically if it is in-the-money on the expiration date. Conversely, the terms may require timely delivery of a notice of exercise, and exercise may be subject to other conditions (such as the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, such as knock-in, knock-out or other barrier events) and timing requirements, including the “style” of the option. Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) though a portfolio will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security. Overlay Risk – To the extent that a client’s portfolio is implemented through an overlay manager, it is subject to the risk that its performance may deviate from the performance of a sub-advisor’s model or the performance of other proprietary or client accounts over which the sub-advisor retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). The overlay manager’s variation from the sub- advisor’s model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including under performance. The overlay manager will vary from a model portfolio to, among other reasons, implement tax management strategies, as applicable, and security restrictions. The overlay manager is restricted from purchasing certain securities due to the issuer’s affiliation with SEI or the overlay manager, or due to the overlay manager’s compliance with laws, regulations, and policies that apply to the business activities of its affiliates. In addition, a sub- advisor may implement its model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to the overlay manager. In these circumstances, trades placed by the overlay manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the client’s portfolio receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the sub-advisor for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded. Portfolio Turnover Risk – To the extent that a portfolio buys and sells securities frequently, such activity may result in higher transaction costs and taxes subject to ordinary income tax rates as opposed to more favorable capital gains rates, which may affect the portfolio’s performance. To the extent that a portfolio invests in an underlying fund the portfolio will have no control over the turnover of the underlying fund. Prepayment Risk – The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring a portfolio to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates. Private Placements Risk – Investment in privately placed securities, including interests in private equity and hedge funds, may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the portfolio, the carrying value of such securities or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. 35  Quantitative Investing – A quantitative investment style generally involves the use of computers to implement a systematic or rules-based approach to selecting investments based on specific measurable factors. Due to the significant role technology plays in such strategies, they carry the risk of unintended or unrecognized issues or flaws in the design, coding, implementation or maintenance of the computer programs or technology used in the development and implementation of the quantitative strategy. These issues or flaws, which can be difficult to identify, may result in the implementation of a portfolio that is different from that which was intended, and could negatively impact investment returns. Such risks should be viewed as an inherent element of investing in an investment strategy that relies heavily upon quantitative models and computerization. Utility interruptions or other key systems outages also can impair the performance of quantitative investment strategies. Reallocation Risk – SIMC constructs and maintains global asset allocation strategies for certain clients, and the SEI funds are designed in part to implement those Strategies. Within the Strategies, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the mutual funds to ensure that the appropriate mix of assets is in place. SIMC also may create new Strategies that reflect significant changes in allocation among the mutual funds. Because a significant portion of the assets in the mutual funds may be attributable to investors in Strategies controlled or influenced by SIMC, this reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the mutual funds. Although reallocations are intended to benefit investors that invest in the mutual funds through the Strategies, they could, in certain cases, have a detrimental effect on the mutual funds. Such detrimental effects could include: transaction costs, capital gains and other expenses resulting from an increase in portfolio turnover; and disruptions to the portfolio management strategy, such as foregone investment opportunities or the inopportune sale of securities to facilitate redemptions. Real Estate Industry Risk – Securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may be subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. If a portfolio’s investments are concentrated in issuers conducting business in the real estate industry, the portfolio may be is subject to risks associated with legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting that industry. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) – REITs are trusts that invest primarily in commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. Investments in REITs are subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate which is discussed above. Some REITs may have 36  limited diversification and maybe subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of properties. Repurchase Agreement Risk — Although a portfolio’s repurchase agreement transactions will be fully collateralized at all times, they generally create leverage and involve some counterparty risk to the portfolio whereby a defaulting counterparty could delay or prevent the portfolio’s recovery of collateral. Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk- Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities to financial institutions, such as banks and broker-dealers, and agrees to repurchase them at a mutually agreed-upon date and price that is higher than the original sale price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve risks. Reverse repurchase agreements are a form of leverage, and the use of reverse repurchase agreements by a portfolio may increase volatility. Reverse repurchase agreements are also subject to the risk that the other party to the reverse repurchase agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a portfolio may decline below the price at which it is obligated to repurchase the securities. In addition, when a portfolio invests the proceeds it receives in a reverse repurchase transaction, there is a risk that those investments may decline in value. In this circumstance, the portfolio could be required to sell other investments in order to meet its obligations to repurchase the securities. Risks of Cyber-Attacks-As with any entity that conducts business through electronic means in the modern marketplace, a portfolio, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized monitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential information, unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the portfolio and its service providers use to service the portfolio’s operations, ransomware, operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the portfolio and its service providers, or various other forms of cyber security breaches. Cyber-attacks affecting a portfolio may adversely impact the portfolio potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses or the inability of to transact business. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of transactions, cause the release of private portfolio information or confidential information, impede trading, subject the portfolio to regulatory fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. The portfolio may also incur additional costs for cyber security risk management purposes designed to mitigate or prevent the risk of cyber-attacks. Such costs may be ongoing because threats of cyber-attacks are constantly evolving as cyber attackers become more sophisticated and their techniques become more complex. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which a portfolio may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the portfolio’s investment in such companies to lose value. There can be no assurance that the portfolio, its service providers, or the issuers of the securities in which it invests will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future. Sampling Risk – With respect to investments in index funds or a portfolio designed to track the performance of an index, a fund or portfolio may not fully replicate a benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund or portfolio may not track the return of its benchmark index as well as it would have if the fund or portfolio purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index. Short Sales— When a portfolio engages in short sales, the proceeds from the sales may be used 37  to purchase long positions in additional equity securities believed will outperform the market or its peers. This strategy may effectively result in the portfolio having a leveraged investment portfolio, which results in greater potential for loss. Leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on a portfolio’s share price and make it’s returns more volatile. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the securities. The use of leverage may also cause a portfolio to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. Small and Medium Capitalization Risk – Small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over the counter (OTC). OTC stocks may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than exchange-listed stocks and may have more price volatility than that of exchange-listed stocks. Structured Securities Risk – A portfolio may invest a portion of assets in entities organized and operated solely for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics of sovereign debt obligations of emerging market issuers. This type of restructuring involves the deposit with, or purchase by, an entity, such as a corporation or trust, of specified instruments (such as commercial bank loans or Brady Bonds) and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of securities (“Structured Securities”) backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying instruments. The cash flow on the underlying instruments may be apportioned among the newly issued Structured Securities to create securities with different investment characteristics, such as varying maturities, payment priorities and interest rate provisions, and the extent of the payments made with respect to Structured Securities is dependent on the extent of the cash flow on the underlying instruments. Because Structured Securities of the type in which the portfolio anticipates it will invest typically involve no credit enhancement, the credit risk will generally be equivalent to that of the underlying instruments. A portfolio is permitted to invest in a class of Structured Securities that is either subordinated or unsubordinated to the right of payment of another class. Subordinated Structured Securities typically have higher yields and present greater risks than unsubordinated Structured Securities. Structured Securities are typically sold in private placement transactions, and there currently is no active trading market for Structured Securities. Certain issuers of such Structured Securities may be deemed to be “investment companies” as defined in the 1940 Act. Taxation Risk – 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. Unless otherwise disclosed, tax-management techniques are limited to, and take into consideration only, the securities held within the individual client account managed by SIMC. The impact of such tax management techniques and strategies may be reduced or eliminated as a result of securities and trading activities in other accounts owned by client, including other client accounts managed by SIMC. 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. A portfolio that is managed to reduce tax consequences to Clients will likely still earn taxable income and gains from time to time, including income subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. In certain instances, when harvesting losses from the sale of an ETF or mutual fund (Original Fund), SIMC may seek to avoid a wash sale while maintaining exposure to the desired asset class. SIMC may do so through the purchase of another ETF or mutual fund (Secondary Fund). Certain strategies may require SIMC to sell the Secondary Fund upon the expiration of the wash-sale period and return to the Original Fund, which may result in a short-term gain. Such gain may exceed harvested losses. Certain strategies may also require SIMC to redeem from an Original Fund when a suitable fund becomes available 38  from a specified fund family, which may result in short- or long-term gains. Certain portfolio assets may be subject to Section 351 tax treatment. The availability of Section 351 treatment depends on the satisfaction of specific legal and factual requirements, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question or successfully challenge the qualification of any such contribution, whether at the time of contribution or in a subsequent examination. If a contribution of securities is ultimately determined not to qualify for Section 351 treatment, the contribution would be treated as a taxable transaction, and the contributing shareholder would recognize gain or loss on the contributed securities at the time of the contribution. If such a determination is made after the contribution, the shareholder may have previously misreported the tax consequences of the transaction and could be required to amend prior tax returns. In addition, any subsequent disposition of fund shares by the contributing shareholder could be affected by an incorrect initial tax basis, resulting in additional tax liability, interest, or penalties. In order to pay tax-exempt interest, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the portfolio to shareholders to be taxable.Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of tax-exempt securities to fall. The federal income tax treatment on payments with respect to certain derivative contracts is unclear. Consequently, a portfolio may receive payments that are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. To the extent a portfolio invests in ETFs, mutual funds or other pooled products, you should review the applicable prospectus or offering document for additional tax disclosure, including relevant risks. Neither SIMC nor its affiliates provide tax advice. To-Be-Announced (TBA) Transactions — A portfolio may be exposed to TBA transactions risk through its investments in derivatives. In TBA transactions, the selling counterparty does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the purchasing counterparty agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the portfolio’s other assets. In addition, the selling counterparty may not deliver the security as promised. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the portfolio to potential loss and could affect the portfolio’s returns. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to the settlement date. Tracking Error Risk – 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 portfolio's investments and the components of the index and other factors. Underlying Funds Risk – With respect to portfolios that invest in underlying funds, additional investment risk exists because the value of such investments is based primarily on the performance of the underlying funds. Specifically with respect to alternative funds, the entity’s sponsors will make investment and management decisions. Therefore, an underlying fund’s returns are dependent on the investment decisions made by its management and the portfolio will not participate in the management or control the investment decisions of the alternative fund. Further, the returns on a portfolio may be negatively impacted by liquidity restrictions imposed by the governing documents of an alternative fund such as “lock-up” periods, gates, redemption fees and management’s ability to suspend redemptions (in certain cases). Such lock-up periods, gates or suspensions may restrict the portfolio’s ability to exit from an alternative fund in accordance with the intended business plan and prevent the portfolio from liquidating its position upon favorable terms. All of these factors may limit the portfolio’s return under certain circumstances. U.S. Government Securities Risk – Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are still subject to the credit risk of the U.S. Government and are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are 39  backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so. Warrants Risk - Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Warrants may be more speculative than other types of investments. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. 40  Item 9 – Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of SIMC or the integrity of SIMC’s management. SIMC has no information applicable to this Item. 41  Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations SIMC, which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SEIC hires affiliates and third parties to perform services for SIMC and its clients. Some of these relationships could create conflicts of interest. These relationships are described below. Hiring of Managers and Sub-Advisors As a manager-of-managers, SIMC hires sub-advisors to provide day-to-day securities selection for many of its investment products. SIMC has hired an affiliated advisor, LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), to serve as sub-advisor to some of SIMC’s investment products. Specifically, SIMC’s parent company, SEIC, maintains a minority ownership interest (approximately 39% as of December 31, 2025) in LSV, which is a sub-advisor to the Funds and MAS. To mitigate this conflict of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable program and/or strategy offering. Additionally, to the extent LSV is managing SEI Fund assets, it is subject to the same Board of Trustees approval process as non-affiliated sub-advisors and the affiliation is disclosed in the SEI Fund prospectuses. SIMC also hires sub-advisors for its investment products who may also be investment advisors/sub-advisors to other investment products offered by SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Therefore, SIMC has an incentive to recommend a firm for sub-advisory services for its investment products because they are also providing services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. To address this conflict, SIMC conducts the same due diligence on all sub-advisors regardless of whether they provide other services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Additionally, some of the sub-advisors that SIMC selects for its Funds and MAS, and some of the managers reviewed for our Manager Research Services described in Item 8, are also customers of SEIC for other services and products (e.g., technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn-key pooled product solutions) for which SIMC’s affiliates are compensated, which could influence SIMC’s decisions when recommending or retaining sub-advisors. To mitigate these conflicts of interest, each sub- advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEI program and/or strategy offering. Also, potential conflicts identified are raised to the Board of Trustees of the SEI Funds or to SIMC’s compliance team prior to the sub-advisor being hired by SIMC. Investment Products SIMC not only provides investment management and advisory services to individuals and institutions, it also serves as the investment advisor to its investment products, including the SEI Funds (including subsidiaries of such Funds), SEI ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds, and collective investment funds (each of which is offered to clients through a separate market unit). Additionally, SIMC is the sponsor to, and the advisor of, managed accounts, including MAS and DFS. SIMC may invest its clients into these products. Therefore, the client may pay SIMC investment advisory fees which are agreed to in the client’s investment advisory agreement, and pay SIMC investment advisory fees through the underlying investment products. However, SIMC generally, and to the extent required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and other applicable law, will offset or credit any advisory fees earned by SIMC with respect to an End Investor’s investment in an underlying investment product against that End Investor’s account level fee. SEI Proprietary Funds and Managed ETFs Other affiliates of SIMC provide various services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (including subsidiaries of 42  such funds), for which they receive compensation. Specifically, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SGFS”) serves as administrator and SIDCO serves as the distributor of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFsand the SEI Alternative Income Fund. SEI Institutional Transfer Agent, Inc. (“SITA”) serves as transfer agent for most of the SEI Funds. SIDCO and SPTC also provide shareholder services with respect to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. SEI Global Services Inc. and SIDCO serve as the administrator and placement agent, respectively, for the SEI Structured Credit Fund. SIMC, SGFS, SIDCO and SPTC receive fees from the SEI Funds determined as a percentage of the SEI Fund's total assets and, SIMC receives fees from the SEI ETFs determined as a percentage of the SEI Fund's total assets and out of these assets pays the fees of the funds’ other service providers, including to SIMC affiliates. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a client invests in the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs, SIMC’s affiliates benefit from the investment in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for a Client, if applicable, such investments will be allocated in a manner which SIMC determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances in respect to all of its other clients. Some SEI Funds are “funds-of-funds,” meaning that an SEI Fund will invest in underlying funds, which in most cases will be other SEI Funds. When an SEI Fund invests in underlying SEI Funds, SIMC is advisor to both the fund-of-funds and the underlying SEI Funds and is paid an advisory fee by both Funds. As a result, SIMC could select those underlying SEI Funds that pay higher advisory fees to SIMC. To mitigate this risk, the SEI Funds are overseen by the SEI Funds’ Board of Trustees, which ensures that SIMC does not factor in the level of fees in its decision in the allocation of underlying SEI Funds in the fund-of-funds. SEI Alternative Funds Affiliates of SIMC (SEI Funds, Inc. and SEI Investment Strategies, LLC) serve as the general partner or a director to several of the SEI Alternative Funds. SEI Global Services, Inc. or SEI Investments Global (Cayman) Limited also serves as administrator and transfer agent to certain SEI Alternative Funds. Collective Trust Funds SEI Trust Company (”STC”), a Pennsylvania chartered trust company, serves as trustee and investment manager to various collective trust funds in which SIMC invests certain client’s assets (to the extent they are eligible). SIMC also acts as an investment advisor to STC, and SITA as transfer agent with respect to the various collective trust funds offered by STC. Non-U.S. Investors SIMC serves as investment advisor to proprietary Irish-regulated UCITS Funds (and other alternative funds), which are sold to non-US investors. SIMC also serves as sub-advisor to several proprietary Canadian-registered mutual funds to which SIMC’s affiliates serve as advisor. Affiliated Registered Investment Advisers – Stratos In December 2025, SEIC completed the first stage of its strategic investment in Stratos Wealth Holdings ("Stratos"), where SEIC owns 57.5% of the holding company that holds the equity of Stratos Wealth Advisors, LLC, Stratos Wealth Partners, Ltd. and their subsidiaries (collectively, the " Stratos-Affiliated RIAs"). As a result of this investment, SIMC and the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs are under common ownership. SIMC and Stratos-Affiliated RIAs each operate as a separate registered investment adviser with its own management, compliance program, and fiduciary obligations. Stratos-Affiliated RIAs may utilize SIMC managed strategies, models, programs and/or products available through IAS. In these arrangements, SIMC provides investment management or related services, while the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs remain responsible for the client relationship, including determining suitability and providing investment advice, as applicable. SIMC may negotiate fees with Stratos-Affiliated RIAs based on AUM, client fees, or such other arrangements as agreed to between SIMC and Stratos-Affiliated RIAs. Such fee arrangements will be disclosed as required by law or regulation. This common ownership structure creates conflicts of interest, including incentives to recommend strategies, models, programs and/or products that are affiliated with SIMC or otherwise 43  increase its [compensation] or that of its affiliates. These conflicts are mitigated through the separation of supervisory and advisory responsibilities among the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs and SIMC. Additional information regarding the Stratos-Affiliated RIA’s business practices, services, and conflicts is provided in their respective Form ADV brochures. Affiliated Custodian In almost all cases the Intermediary or its affiliate is a bank (or similar institution) that will have custody of End Investor assets. In many cases SPTC may act a sub-custodian to the Intermediary under an agreement with the Intermediary and will receive fees from the Intermediary for its services. In certain cases, End Investors of an Intermediary may choose to custody their accounts at SIMC’s affiliate, SPTC, a limited purpose federal savings association. SPTC charges the client a fee for these services. SPTC may also provide trust, custody and/or record-keeping services to SIMC’s clients, including some of the Pooled Investment Vehicles. SPTC’s services may be provided at a discount or without additional client charge. In connection with providing shareholder services to clients invested in the SEI Funds, SPTC receives a shareholder service fee from the SEI Funds for providing those services. If a client custodies assets at SPTC, SPTC provides a cash sweep service into an SEI money market mutual fund, and if elected, SIMC will earn additional fees, as an advisor to the SEI money market fund. Please see Item 5 for additional information on fees. Affiliated Broker-Dealer SIMC or sub-advisors will execute certain brokerage transactions using SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO. SIDCO also receives shareholder service, administration service and/or distribution fees from the SEI Funds, portions of which are paid by SIDCO to affiliates or third parties that provide such services. SIDCO also receives distribution or creation unit servicer fees from certain third-party ETFs and their sponsors when providing services to those firms under services agreements between SIDCO and such firms. A conflict of interest exists because SIDCO may earn additional fees to the extent that such ETFs are purchased by an SEI Fund. SIMC anticipates that any resultant increase in fees payable to SIDCO would be immaterial. In addition, certain SIMC employees are also registered representatives of SIDCO. Such individuals do not receive additional compensation by virtue of their role with SIDCO. See Item 4 and 12 for additional information on SIMC’s use of broker-dealers, including SIDCO. Commodity Pool Operator and SWAP Firm SIMC is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) and SWAP Firm with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and certain SIMC employees are registered with the CFTC as Principals and/or Associated Persons. 44  Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics and Personal Trading When SIMC employees have access to nonpublic information, conflicts may arise between the interests of the employee and those of the client. For example, a SIMC employee could gain information on the purchase or sale of securities by a SIMC client, or portfolio holdings information for a particular client. The SIMC employee could use this information to take advantage of available investment opportunities, take an investment opportunity from a client for the employee’s own portfolio, or front-run (which occurs when an employee trades in his or her personal account before making client transactions). As a fiduciary, SIMC owes a duty of loyalty to clients, which requires that a SIMC employee must always place the interests of clients first and foremost and shall not take inappropriate advantage of his/her position. Thus SIMC personnel must conduct themselves and their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not create conflicts with the firm. SIMC has adopted a Code of Ethics to reinforce to its employees SIMC’s principles of integrity and ethics, and to enforce compliance with applicable regulations and best practices. Under the SIMC Code of Ethics, SIMC employees that are characterized as Access Persons and their family members with whom they reside must disclose personal securities holdings and personal securities transactions. Access Persons are SIMC employees that have access to non-public information regarding any client’s purchase or sale of securities or who are involved in making, or have non-public access to, securities recommendations to clients. Access Persons are also subject to certain trade pre-clearance and reporting standards for their personal securities transactions. Additionally, certain Access Persons may not purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any “Covered Security” (which is defined in the Code of Ethics) within 24 hours before or after the time that the same Covered Security is being purchased or sold in any SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Some Access Persons may not purchase or sell such securities within seven days of a transaction for a SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Certain Access Persons also may not profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of a Covered Security within 60 days of acquiring or disposing of beneficial ownership of that Covered Security. Finally, Access Persons may not acquire securities as part of an initial public offering or a private placement transaction without the prior consent of SIMC Compliance. The Code of Ethics also includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information and market timing, and also incorporates SEIC’s insider trading policy by reference. All supervised persons at SIMC are trained on the Code of Ethics and must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics upon hire and on an annual basis. SIMC anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which SIMC has management authority to effect and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which SIMC, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. SIMC’s employees and persons associated with SIMC are required to follow SIMC’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of SIMC and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for SIMC’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of SIMC will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is monitored under the Code of Ethics, to seek to prevent conflicts of interest between SIMC and its clients. Clients and prospects may request a copy of SIMC’s Code of Ethics by e-mailing SIMCCompliance@seic.com or sending a request to: SEI Investments Management Corporation, Attn: SIMC Compliance, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456. 45  Participation or Interest in Client Transactions (Side-by-Side Management) As explained above, among its other recommendations, SIMC recommends to its clients invest in Pooled Investment Vehicles to which SIMC also serves as investment advisor and its affiliates may provide other services when SIMC believes such recommendation is appropriate for the Client. For example, SIMC, as investment manager to a client, may recommend that they invest in the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds, SEI Interval Funds or a managed account, where SIMC also serves as investment advisor and receives a fee for those services. This creates a conflict of interest whereby SIMC has a financial incentive to recommend an unsuitable SIMC investment product to a SIMC client in order for SIMC and its affiliates to receive additional fees. SIMC discloses its fees in the offering documents for each Pooled Investment Vehicle. In addition, when SIMC and/or its affiliates have a material pecuniary interest in either the SEI Funds, SEI Interval Funds or SEI Alternative Funds (“Interested Vehicle”), a conflict of interest may exist whereby SIMC has an additional financial incentive to ensure that such Interested Vehicle performs well to increase its return on investment. Furthermore, SIMC and its portfolio managers have an incentive to allocate investment opportunities to such Interested Vehicle in a way that favors SIMC and its affiliates over the interest of its clients and other investors. Notwithstanding these conflicts of interest, SIMC may aggregate transactions of an Interested Vehicle with other SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles as long as SIMC has determined pursuant to its allocation procedures that participation by such SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles is fair and equitable. Further, SIMC may aggregate transactions for an Interested Vehicle and an SEI Fund involving private placement securities as long as the only negotiated term for such private placement securities is price. SIMC has adopted trade aggregation procedures (“Aggregation Procedures”) designed to ensure that aggregated transactions are made in a manner that is fair and equitable to, and in the best interests of, the SEI Fund and any other participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles. The Aggregation Procedures require the portfolio manager of each participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicle to review the Vehicle's investment objectives, investment restrictions, cash position, need for liquidity, sector concentration, and other objective criteria and to determine whether a purchase or sale of a private placement security is an appropriate transaction. The Aggregation Procedures require that each participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicle receive individualized investment advice and treatment. The portfolio manager will document how private placement securities or proceeds from an aggregated sale of such securities will be allocated among participating Vehicles (“Allocation Statement”). If there is a sufficient amount of private placement securities, in the case of a purchase, or proceeds, in the case of a sale, to satisfy all participants, the securities or proceeds will be allocated among the participants as documented by the portfolio manager. If there is an insufficient amount of private placement securities or sale proceeds to satisfy all participants, the securities or proceeds will be allocated pro rata, based on the allocation that each of the participants would have received if there was a sufficient amount of securities or proceeds and such distribution of securities or proceeds may only be allocated on a basis different from that specified in the Allocation Statement if all participants receive fair and equitable treatment. SIMC and its affiliates in some instances advise one client or take actions for a client, for itself, for its affiliates, or for their related persons that are different from the advice given or actions taken for other clients. SIMC, its affiliates, and their related persons are not obligated to buy or sell for a client any investment that they may buy, sell, or recommend for any other client or for their own accounts. Persons associated with SIMC or its affiliates have investments in the SEI Funds. It is SIMC’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal securities transactions for client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where SIMC, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliate (i.e., SIDCO), buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. In limited circumstances, SIMC affects cross-transactions in which SIMC effects transactions between two of its managed client accounts (i.e., arranging for the clients' securities trades by "crossing" these trades when SIMC believes that such transactions are beneficial to its clients). To the extent permitted by law, 46  SIDCO may act as a broker, and may receive a commission. The client may revoke SIMC's cross-transaction authority at any time upon written notice to SIMC. 47  Item 12 – Brokerage Practices Broker Selection SIMC has a duty to seek best execution of the transactions executed by SIMC for its clients’ accounts. Although commission rates are an important consideration in determining whether “best execution” is being obtained, they are not determinative, as many other factors also are relevant in determining whether SIMC has achieved the best result for clients under the circumstances. As the SEC has observed, there is no precise definition for “best execution,” since it is a facts and circumstances determination. SIMC may consider numerous factors in arranging for the purchase and sale of clients’ portfolio securities. These include any legal restrictions, such as those imposed under the securities laws and ERISA, and any client-imposed restrictions. Within these constraints, SIMC shall employ or deal with members of securities exchanges and other brokers and dealers or banks as SIMC approves and that will, in the portfolio manager’s judgment, provide “best execution” (i.e., prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable under the prevailing market conditions) for a particular transaction for the client’s account. SIMC periodically evaluates the quality of these brokerage services as provided by various firms. In determining the abilities of a broker-dealer or bank to obtain best execution of portfolio transactions, SIMC will consider all relevant factors, including: • The execution capabilities the transactions require; • Electronic routing capabilities to underlying brokers • The ability and willingness of the broker-dealer or bank to facilitate the accounts’ portfolio transactions by participating for its own account; • The importance to the account of speed, efficiency, and confidentiality; • The apparent familiarity of the broker-dealer or bank with sources from or to whom particular securities might be purchased or sold; • The reputation and perceived soundness of the broker-dealer or bank; and • Other matters relevant to the selection of a broker-dealer or bank for portfolio transactions for any account. SIMC will not seek in advance competitive bidding for the most favorable commission rate applicable to any particular portfolio transaction or select any broker-dealer or bank on the basis of its purported or “posted” commission rate structure. Certain types of trades, such as most fixed income securities transactions, do not involve the payment of a commission. SEI Funds Generally, portfolio transactions in the SEI Funds are effected by sub-advisors pursuant to each sub- advisors own brokerage policies and practices. However, SIMC does affect trades in the SEI Funds in certain situations. SIMC and sub-advisors election to execute trades through SIDCO for the SEI Funds is subject to the duty to obtain best execution and to applicable law. Generally, under these provisions, SIDCO is permitted to receive and retain compensation for effecting portfolio transactions if 48  such compensation does not exceed “usual and customary” brokerage commissions. SIMC's brokerage discretion practices with respect to the SEI Funds are reviewed at least annually by the SEI Funds' Board of Trustees and in compliance with Section 17(e) (1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The following are examples of situations where portfolio trades in the SEI Funds may be executed through SIDCO. Manager Transitions SIMC executes transactions through SIDCO in connection with portfolio transitions that accompany SIMC’s reallocation of assets due to the hiring or termination of sub-advisors. Assets may be reallocated to existing sub-advisors. SIDCO serves as an introducing broker-dealer for these transactions, which means that SIDCO will introduce the transaction to one or more clearing brokers. SIDCO and the applicable clearing brokers will receive and retain compensation (i.e., commissions) for executing such transactions. Since SIDCO earns fees in connection with these transactions, SIMC may have an incentive to change sub- advisors more frequently than necessary in order for its affiliate to earn additional fees. This risk is mitigated by SIMC’s robust manager due diligence process and oversight structure, and the fact that manager changes require approval by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Additionally, the use of SIDCO in manager transitions is reviewed by the SEI Funds Board of Trustees. Affiliated Brokerage SIMC and SIMC appointed sub-advisors use SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO, for various services for its clients, which are described below. Other than trading in the SEI Funds, MAS or other accounts where SIMC has investment discretion, it is the client’s decision whether to execute a particular securities transaction using SIDCO. SIMC discloses the use of its affiliated broker-dealer in the investment management agreement that the client signs with SIMC for services. By directing brokerage to SIDCO, SIMC may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of client transactions and this practice may cost clients more money. Trading for SEI ETFs and SEI Funds’ Internally Managed Equity Portfolios In connection with internally managed equity portfolios and all trading in the SEI ETFs, SIMC executes those trades either through a combination of unaffiliated third party brokers and its affiliated broker- dealer SIDCO as introducing broker. When SIDCO is used as introducing broker, trades are routed to unaffiliated executing brokers or clearing firmsthat are available through SIDCO. As with the transition management trades, SIMC does not rely on SIDCO as its primary broker for internally managed equity trades, and the proportion of trades executed through SIDCO may vary over time as SIMC continues to evaluate broker performance, execution quality, and overall trading efficiency. There is an inherent conflict of interest in SIMC’s use of SIDCO for trading. SIMC may be motivated to pay a higher commission for trades involving SIDCO compared to a third party broker. This conflict is mitigated by SIMC’s duty to seek best execution. Sub-Advisor Trading Through SIDCO Sub-advisors to certain SEI Funds may execute a portion of an SEI Fund’s portfolio transactions through SIDCO. These relationships may involve soft dollar trading or execution only arrangements. SIMC neither encourages nor discourages sub-advisors from trading through SIDCO, and does not take such trading into consideration in determining whether to recommend that a manager be hired or terminated. All such trading is, of course, subject to the sub-advisor’s duty to achieve best execution. Further, each sub- advisor that trades through SIDCO is required to report such trades on a quarterly basis to the Funds’ chief compliance officer. Client Transitions SIMC, in some instances, uses SIDCO to liquidate a client’s securities portfolio. SIMC may undertake such liquidations to make cash and/or in-kind securities investments in one or more of the SEI Funds. SIDCO serves as an introducing broker-dealer for these transactions, which means that SIDCO will introduce the 49  transaction to one or more clearing brokers. SIDCO and the applicable clearing brokers will receive and retain compensation (i.e., commissions) for executing such transactions. Information regarding the relationship between SIMC and SIDCO are disclosed to the client in the investment management agreement. In the case of clients subject to ERISA, SIMC’s use of SIDCO for transition services will be in accordance with applicable law and regulation. In order to comply with applicable law, the client is permitted to withdraw its consent to the use of SIDCO for client transactions by sending a written notice to SIMC. Managed Account Solutions MAS is structured such that the equity managers in the program generally execute all equity trades in the Program using SIDCO, consistent with the equity manager’s duty to seek best execution. However, in many cases, Model Managers (i.e., those managers that provide SIMC with their investment strategy model) in MAS will provide SIMC with the Portfolio Manager’s investment model for a particular investment strategy and SIMC will implement that model and execute all transactions allocation to that strategy. There may be instances where an equity manager responsible for trading its own investment strategy has determined not to execute certain orders through SIDCO, consistent with such manager’s duty to seek best execution. Also, a significant percentage of trades in closed-end fund and master limited partnership strategies managed by Parametric are executed through third-party broker-dealers, on the basis that Parametric believes doing so results in the best combination of price and execution cost. Further, SIMC and the Program’s Trading Managers (i.e., managers trading the investment strategy directly) select and utilize brokers as required by their firm’s own policies and procedures. Trading Managers of fixed income strategies will generally execute trades through third-party broker-dealers. The SIMC fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) where SIMC or a Portfolio Manager executes transactions with broker-dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates. In addition, the SIMC management fee does not cover certain costs, charges or compensation associated with transactions, including but not limited to, auction fees; fees charged by exchanges on a per transaction basis; certain odd-lot differentials; transfer taxes; electronic fund and wire transfer fees; fees on NASDAQ transactions; certain costs associated with trading in foreign securities; any other charges mandated by law or regulatory authority. Any such execution charges will be separately charged to the client. SIMC’s internal governance structure oversees SIMC’s use of SIDCO in the program to ensure that its use of SIDCO for the Program is suitable. Soft Dollar Practices SIMC does not intend to cause an account to pay more in commissions in return for research products and/or services provided to SIMC. However, brokers with which SIMC trades may provide proprietary research materials or technology to SIMC. While SIMC does not necessarily consider receipt of such information, or access to such technology, to constitute soft dollar arrangements, it does present a conflict of interest for SIMC in connection with the selection of brokers for the execution of trades to the extent that SIMC considers such research or technology to be valuable. Sub-advisors to the SEI Funds may engage in soft dollar transactions pursuant to the sub-advisors’ own policies and procedures. Client Referrals SIMC does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker-dealers, whether SIMC or a related person receives client referrals from a broker-dealer or third-party and the conflicts this creates. Directed Brokerage In limited circumstances, a client may direct SIMC to use a particular broker-dealer (subject to SIMC’s right to decline and/or terminate the engagement) to execute some or all transactions for the client’s account. In such event, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with that broker-dealer, and SIMC will not seek better execution services or prices from other broker-dealers or be able to “batch” the client’s transactions for execution through other broker-dealers with orders for other accounts managed by SIMC. As a result, client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise 50  be the case. Trade Aggregation SIMC is permitted to aggregate or “batch” orders placed at the same time for the accounts of two or more clients if it is in the best interests of its clients. By batching trade orders, SIMC may obtain more favorable executions and net prices for the combined order, and ensure that no participating client is favored over any other client. Typically, SIMC will affect block orders for the purchase and sale for the same security for client accounts to facilitate best execution and to reduce transaction costs. When an aggregated order is filled in its entirety, each participating client account generally will receive the block price obtained on all such purchases or sales with respect to such order. The portfolio manager for each account must determine that the purchase or sale of the particular security involved is appropriate for the client and consistent with the client’s investment objectives and with any investment guidelines or restrictions applicable to the client’s account. The portfolio manager for each account must reasonably believe that the block trading will benefit, and will facilitate best execution for each client participating in the block order. This requires a reasonable good faith judgment at the time the order is placed for execution. 51  Item 13 – Review of Accounts The Intermediaries are responsible for periodically reviewing End Investor accounts. 52  Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation The Intermediaries may also be clients of SIMC’s affiliates for technology and other services and may receive other benefits from SEIC and its affiliates for these services. SIMC and its affiliates receive fees from the SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles determined as a percentage of the total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a client invest in SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles, SIMC and its affiliates may indirectly benefit from investment in SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles. Please see Items 4 and 12 for additional information. SIMC’s investment solutions, including Pooled Investment Vehicles, are offered to Intermediaries for their use in providing advisory services to their clients. In connection with a Intermediary’s use of SIMC’s investment solutions, SIMC and its affiliates may provide the Intermediary with a range of services and other benefits, which in some cases may include financial compensation, to help it conduct its business and serve its clients. These benefits and services, discussed below, may be made available to Intermediaries at no fee or at a discounted fee, and the terms may vary among Intermediaries depending on the business they and their clients conduct with SEIC and other factors. These benefits and services may not necessarily benefit the Intermediary’s underlying clients. SIMC holds conferences, seminars and other educational and information activities for Intermediaries about the SEI Funds and other investment products offered by SIMC or its affiliates. Such events may be sponsored or provided by SIMC or other third parties. In limited circumstances, SIMC and its affiliates may reimburse Intermediaries for reasonable travel expenses (including airfare and hotel expenses) incurred when reviewing SIMC’s business and practices. In certain cases, attendance at these events may be limited to Intermediaries conducting a minimum amount of business with SIMC and its affiliates, including invitations based on the Intermediary’s client assets under management in SEI Funds and managed programs and net cash flow into those products. In addition, SIMC may provide Intermediaries with practice management services, which may include conferences, seminars and other educational and informational activities. Such events may be sponsored or provided by SIMC or other third parties. SIMC and its affiliates also offer Intermediaries investment research to help them make well-informed investment decisions about their clients’ accounts. Marketing Benefits SIMC and its affiliates may assist Intermediaries in marketing activities, including providing marketing toolkits and other forms of marketing materials that Intermediaries may use or adapt for their purposes. SIMC may also co-sponsor events with Intermediaries, or pay for joint marketing initiatives with Intermediaries for clients and prospects, including, without limitation, seminars, conferences, appreciation events, direct market mailings and other marketing activities designed to further the promotion of SIMC’s investment products. SIMC and its affiliates’ arrangements for joint marketing initiatives may vary among Intermediaries, and its payments or reimbursements to Intermediaries in connection with joint marketing initiatives may be significant. Technology Platform SIMC and its affiliates may provide Intermediaries with technical solutions to help facilitate their integration with SEIC’s systems and streamline their operations. Also, representatives of SIMC and its affiliates are available to provide administrative support to Intermediaries. SIMC and its affiliates may assist Intermediaries in joining SIMC’s program and in completing documentation to enroll Intermediaries’ clients to receive services, and this may include providing clerical staff to assist and, in some cases, paying account transfer fees or other charges that Intermediaries or their clients may have to pay when changing custodians or service providers. Custom Pricing 53  SIMC and its affiliates may agree to pricing for particular Intermediaries’ client accounts at SPTC based on account size and/or the nature and scope of business the Intermediary does with SEIC, including the current and future expected amount of the Intermediary’s client assets in custody at SPTC and the types of SIMC investment products used by the Intermediary. SIMC and its affiliates may change this pricing and the services and other benefits provided if the nature or scope of the Intermediary’s business changes or does not reach certain levels, in which case pricing for the Intermediary’s client accounts may increase but will not exceed SIMC’s and its affiliate’s standard pricing for such products and services. Revenue Sharing Many Intermediaries are affiliated with broker-dealers. SIMC and its affiliates may pay compensation to broker-dealers or other financial institutions for services such as, without limitation, providing the SEI Funds with “shelf space” or a higher profile for the firm’s associated Intermediaries and their customers, placing the SEI Funds on the firm’s preferred or recommended fund list, granting access to the firm’s associated Intermediaries, providing assistance in training and educating the firms’ personnel, allowing sponsorship of seminars or information meetings and furnishing marketing support and other specified services. SIMC may also compensate the broker-dealer to support the broker-dealer’s ability to provide administrative support services required when the broker-dealer’s affiliated advisors conduct business with their clients through the use of SEIC’s services. These payments may be based on average net assets of SEI Funds attributable to that broker-dealer, net sales of SEI Funds attributable to that broker-dealer, a negotiated lump sum payment or other appropriate compensation. For example, when engaging in revenue sharing SIMC generally pays: Up to ten (10) basis points (fifteen (15) basis points in certain cases) multiplied by the broker-dealer’s affiliated advisors’ clients total assets invested in SIMC sponsored investments for the administrative services provided and to help offset the compliance service costs that the broker-dealer will be the subject of. Alternatively, SIMC generally pays up to ten (10) basis points (fifteen (15) basis points in certain cases) multiplied by the broker- dealer’s affiliated advisors’ clients total assets invested in SIMC sponsored investments for the marketing and distribution services as well as administrative services provided and to help offset the compliance service costs that the broker-dealer will be the subject of. The terms of these arrangements with various broker-dealers will vary. Payments may also be made by SIMC or its affiliates to financial institutions to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided, such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. These fees may be used by the financial institutions to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The foregoing payments may be in addition to any shareholder servicing fees paid to a financial institution in accordance with the SEI Funds’ Shareholder Services Plan or Administrative Services Plan. The benefits, services or payments discussed above may be significant to the financial institutions receiving them and may create an incentive for the financial institutions or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the SEI Funds or other investment products to its customers rather than other funds or investment products. These payments are made by SIMC and its affiliates out of their past profits or other available resources. Although the SEI Funds use broker-dealers that sell SEI Fund shares to effect transactions for the Funds’ portfolio, the SEI Funds, SIMC and its sub-advisors will not consider the sale of Fund shares as a factor when choosing broker-dealers to effect those transactions and will not direct brokerage transactions to broker-dealers as compensation for the sales of SEI Fund shares. Solicitation Arrangements SIMC enters into solicitation arrangements with third parties and affiliates who will receive a solicitation fee from SIMC for introducing prospective clients to SIMC, or SIMC investment products. Additionally, SIMC compensates SEIC employees who will receive a fee (determined based on the fee paid to SIMC by the client) for introducing prospective clients to SIMC, or SIMC investment products. Where required by 54  federal or state law, each solicitation arrangement will be governed by a written agreement between SIMC and the third-party that complies with Rule 206(4)-3 of the Advisers Act. As required, clients will be provided with copies of Part 2 of SIMC's Form ADV, separate disclosure of the nature of the solicitation or referral arrangement (including compensation features) applicable to the client being referred, and any other document required to be provided under applicable state law. 55  Item 15 – Custody In almost all the Intermediary or its affiliate is a bank (or similar institution) that will have custody of End Investor assets and SPTC, an affiliate of SIMC, may in certain cases serve as custodian for SIMC clients (with the exception of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and some of SIMC’s other Pooled Investment Vehicles). The End Investor’s appointed custodian will send periodic account statements directly to SIMC clients. Additionally, SPTC provides SIMC clients with other account and reporting services, including quarterly performance reports, year-end tax reports and online account access. SPTC charges a fee for its services. End Investors are encouraged to carefully review the account statements they receive from their custodian and are urged to compare any statements received from SIMC to the statements received from their custodian. Comparing statements will allow End Investors to determine whether account transactions are accurate. As a result of its affiliation with the general partner or director to the SEI Alternative Funds, SIMC is deemed to have custody of the SEI Alternative Funds’ assets. Pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, SIMC maintains compliance by ensuring that each SEI Alternative Fund: • is audited on an annual basis by an independent accountant that is registered with, and subject to regular inspection by, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in accordance with its rules. • distributes audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to all limited partners (or members or other beneficial owners) within the distribution timeframes set forth in Rule 206(4)-2 specific to the type of private fund. SIMC does not maintain custody of certain legacy privately placed (alternative) investments held by Clients but may provide certain reporting services on such investments. In these cases, Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains Clients’ investment assets or receive annual audited financial statements from the private fund sponsor. SIMC urges Clients to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that SIMC may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. 56  Item 16 – Investment Discretion SIMC maintains discretionary authority (1) as investment advisor to the Pooled Investment Vehicles; (2) to determine the re-balancing allocation of a client's assets among the individual SEI Funds or other Pooled Investment Vehicles (no commissions are incurred on these transactions); (3) in certain circumstances, to dispose of a client's securities in order to raise cash to purchase SEI Funds, liquidate the account or invest in other Pooled Investment Vehicles; and (4) for MAS and DFS, as set forth in each End Investor’s applicable agreement. Please see Item 4 for additional information on the limited discretion SIMC has on End Investor accounts invested in these products and the reasonable restrictions End Investors may place on some of these products. SIMC does not have discretionary authority over End Investor accounts invested in SEI Funds or the SEI Asset Allocation Models; discretionary authority for these accounts resides with the Intermediary. 57  Item 17 – Voting Client Securities SIMC has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that SIMC votes proxies in the best interest of its clients. SIMC has retained a third-party proxy voting service (the “Service”), to vote proxies with respect to applicable SIMC clients in accordance with approved guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and may deviate from voting in accordance with the Guidelines in certain limited exception scenarios (see below). SIMC also has a proxy voting committee (the “Committee”), comprised of SIMC employees, which approves the proxy voting guidelines or approves how SIMC should vote in certain scenarios. So long as the Service votes proxies in accordance with the Guidelines, SIMC maintains that there is an appropriate presumption that the manner in which SIMC voted was not influenced by, and did not result from, a conflict of interest. In addition to retaining the Service, SIMC has also engaged a separate third- party vendor to assist with company engagement services (the “Engagement Service”). The Engagement Service strives to help investors manage reputational risk and increase corporate accountability through proactive, professional and constructive engagement. As a result of this process, the Engagement Service will at times provide to SIMC recommendations that may conflict with the Guidelines (see below for more detail). SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendation, in certain/limited scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Service’s recommendation. The exercise of such right could implicate a conflict of interest. As a result, SIMC may not overrule the Service’s recommendation with respect to a proxy unless the following steps are taken: a. The Committee meets to consider the proposal to overrule the Service’s recommendation. b. The Committee determines whether SIMC has a conflict of interest with respect to the issuer that is the subject of the proxy. If the Committee determines that SIMC has a conflict of interest, the Committee then determines whether the conflict is “material” to any specific proposal included within the proxy. If not, then SIMC can vote the proxy as determined by the Committee. c. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC has a material conflict of interest, SIMC may vote a proxy regarding that proposal in any of the following manners: 1. Obtain Client Consent or Direction – If the Committee approves the proposal to overrule the recommendation of the Service, SIMC must fully disclose to each client holding the security at issue the nature of the conflict, and obtain the client’s consent to how SIMC will vote on the proposal (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client as to how the proxy on the proposal should be voted). 2. Use Recommendation of the Service – Vote in accordance with the Service’s recommendation. d. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC does not have a material conflict of interest, the Committee may overrule the Service’s recommendation if the Committee reasonably determines that doing so is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients. If the Committee decides to overrule the Service’s recommendation, the Committee will maintain a written record setting forth the basis of the Committee’s decision. Notwithstanding these policies and procedures, actual proxy voting decisions of SIMC may have the effect of favoring the interests of other clients or businesses of SIMC and/or its affiliates, provided that SIMC believes such voting decisions to be in accordance with its fiduciary obligations. In some cases, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients to abstain from voting certain proxies. SIMC will abstain from voting in the event any of the following conditions are met with regard to a proxy proposal: 58  • Neither the Guidelines nor specific client instructions cover an issue; • The Service does not make a recommendation on the issue; • In circumstances where, in SIMC’s judgment, the costs of voting the proxy exceed the expected benefits to clients; Share blocking; • • The Committee is unable to convene on the proxy proposal to make a determination as to what would be in the client’s best interest; and • Proxies in foreign jurisdictions where the requirements necessary to vote are not practical and create an administrative hurdle that SIMC is unable to clear in the required (usually limited) time frame. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting mutual fund proxies for any and all mutual funds maintained in client portfolios. With respect to proxies of an affiliated investment company or series thereof (e.g., the SEI U.S. mutual funds) SIMC will vote such proxies in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders of the investment company or series thereof (i.e., “echo vote” or “mirror vote”). Client Directed Votes. SIMC clients who have delegated voting responsibility to SIMC with respect to their account may from time to time contact their client representative if they would like to direct SIMC to vote in a particular solicitation. SIMC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to vote according to the client’s request in these circumstances, and cannot provide assurances that such voting requests will be implemented. Clients may also direct votes with respect to securities held directly by the client. The client may not direct votes for securities held by Pooled Investment Vehicle unless otherwise disclosed in such products prospectus or offering documents. This does not apply to the SEI Fund shares that are proportionally voted pursuant to the SEI Institutional Investments Trust Vote Choice Program. The Vote Choice Program allows, subject to the terms of the Program, a shareholder of an eligible Fund to direct the Fund to vote their proportionate share interest in accordance with the shareholder’s selected third- party proxy voting policy. As noted above, SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendations in certain scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Guidelines. In all such cases, this requires the Committee to rule out any material conflict (as noted above) prior to overriding the Guidelines. Areas where SIMC may consider overriding the Guidelines include: • Requests by third-party sub-advisers within the SEI U.S. Pooled Investment Vehicles to direct certain votes; and • Recommendations by the Engagement Service. Clients may obtain a copy of SIMC’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request. Clients may also obtain information from SIMC about how SIMC voted any proxies on behalf of their account(s) by either referring to Form N-PX (for SEI Funds) or by contacting your client service representative. Certain SIMC clients have either retained the ability to vote proxies with respect to their account, or have delegated that proxy voting authority to a third-party selected by the client. In those circumstances, SIMC is not responsible for voting proxies in the account or for overseeing the voting of such proxies by the client or its designated agent. With respect to those clients for which SIMC does not conduct proxy voting, clients should work with their custodians to ensure they receive their proxies and other solicitations for securities held in their account. Clients may contact their client service representative if they have a question on particular 59  proxy voting matters or solicitations. 60  Item 18 – Financial Information Registered investment advisors are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about SIMC’s financial condition. SIMC has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 61

It is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEIC”), a publicly traded diversified financial services firm (NASDAQ: SEIC) headquartered in Oaks, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. SIMC and its predecessor entities were originally incorporated in 1969. SIMC is investment advisor to various types of investors, including but not limited to, corporate and union sponsored pension plans, public plans, defined contribution plans (including 401(k) plans), endowments, charitable foundations, hospital organizations, banks, trust departments, registered investment advisors, trusts, corporations, ultra-high net worth individuals and retail investors. SIMC also serves as the investment advisor to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, private equity funds, alternative funds, interval funds, collective investment trusts and offshore investment funds (together, the “Pooled Investment Vehicles”). Additionally, SIMC serves as the sponsor of and advisor to, managed accounts. SIMC’s total assets under management as of December 31, 2025 were $216,428,500,660, $211,986,837,592 of which it manages on a discretionary basis and $4,441,663,068 on a non-discretionary basis. SEI Private Wealth Management SIMC offers investment advisory services to ultra-high net worth individuals, trusts and foundations (each, a “Client” and together, the “Clients”) through its business segment called SEI Private Wealth Management (“PWM”). PWM is an umbrella name for various life and wealth advisory services provided by SIMC. For individuals and families generally totaling $10 million in net worth, PWM will help Clients to: set goals and priorities so Clients will discover exactly what they want to achieve; free them from the everyday responsibility of wealth management. • • understand how their wealth should impact them, their family and their community; and • PWM’s services feature a life goals-based wealth advice process which includes investment advice and portfolio management, securities, financial management, administrative services, estate planning, philanthropy, and other related services which SIMC, its affiliates, and third parties provide to Clients. For certain Client accounts, SIMC, instead of acting as a Client’s investment manager, may provide non- fiduciary/non-discretionary oversight services for that particular Client. SIMC is responsible for determining the suitability of investments for its Clients. In performing its services, SIMC relies on the information received from the Client or from the Client’s other professionals in order to provide its investment advice. It is each Client’s responsibility to promptly notify SIMC if there is ever any change in the Client’s financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing/evaluating/revising SIMC’s previous recommendations and/or services, or if they wish to impose any reasonable restrictions upon SIMC’s services. PWM may invest Client assets in SIMC’s Pooled Investment Vehicles and/or Managed Account Solutions (“MAS”). For more information regarding MAS, please refer to the Managed Account Solutions: Private Wealth Management wrap fee program brochure (“Wrap Brochure”), which describes services available to PWM Clients, as well as the fees associated with such services. SIMC (i) is the investment advisor to PWM Clients and charges an advice fee for these services, and (ii) is the investment advisor to the Pooled Investment Vehicles and MAS in which it may invest Client assets, and where SIMC or an affiliate earns fees for services. Therefore, SIMC will earn fees from the Client through both the PWM’s advice fees and the Pooled Investment Vehicle’s/MAS fees. SIMC could be incented to recommend SIMC investment 4  products that pay SIMC higher advisory fees. To mitigate this risk, SIMC has a Client review process in place to ensure that SIMC recommends the appropriate investment products to each Client regardless of fees. Additionally, to the extent the account is subject to Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or similar rules under the Internal Revenue Code, SIMC will be required to off-set any advisory fees it receives from the SEI Funds pursuant to applicable regulations. PWM may invest Client assets in several of the following SIMC Pooled Investment Vehicles and/or investment programs to seek to achieve the Client’s investment goals. SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles SEI Mutual Funds SIMC serves as the investment advisor to the SEI mutual funds (“SEI Funds”), which is a family of SEC- registered mutual funds. Most of the SEI Funds are manager-of-managers funds, which means that SIMC (i) hires one or more sub-advisors to manage all or a portion of the SEI Funds assets on a day-to-day basis; (ii) monitors the sub-advisors; (iii) allocates, on a continuous basis, assets of a SEI Fund among the sub- advisors (to the extent a fund has more than one sub-advisor) and (iv) when necessary, replaces sub- advisors. Each sub-advisor makes investment decisions for the assets it manages and continuously reviews, supervises and administers its investment program. SIMC is generally responsible for establishing, monitoring, and administering the investment program of each SEI Fund. With respect to many of the SEI Funds, including, as applicable, in combination with the manager-of-manger structure, SIMC directly manages all or a substantial portion of of the SEI Funds’ assets directly. Please see Item 8 for additional information on the sub- advisor selection process. SEI Exchange Traded Funds SIMC serves as the investment advisor to the SEI exchange traded funds, registered series of SIMC-managed funds (“SEI ETFs”). As investment advisor, SIMC has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the SEI ETFs. SIMC manages all of the assets of SEI ETFs, or a substantial portion of the assets of SEI ETFs in combination with the manager-of- manager structure discussed in the section above. When managing the SEI ETFs, SIMC may draw upon the research and expertise of its affiliates with respect to certain portfolio securities. In seeking to achieve the SEI ETFs’ investment objective, SIMC uses teams of portfolio managers, investment strategists and other investment specialists. This team approach brings together many disciplines and leverages SIMC’s extensive resources. SIMC develops various SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals. The SEI Funds and SEI ETFs are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather the program is designed to enable SIMC to match its Clients with SEI Funds and SEI ETFs that are consistent with the Client’s investment goals and objectives. Additionally, Clients invested in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each SEI Fund and SEI ETFs. SEI Private Wealth Management Strategies Clients of SIMC are able to purchase SEI Funds and SEI ETFs individually or they can purchase SEI Funds and SEI ETFs in a manner intended to follow SIMC-developed model investment portfolios, called the SEI Private Wealth Management Strategies (“PWM Strategies”). Each PWM Strategy seeks to achieve a particular investment goal or to meet particular risk and return characteristics. These models are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific investors, but rather the program is designed to enable SIMC to match its Clients to PWM Strategies that are consistent with the 5  Clients’ investment goals and objectives. Clients may not impose reasonable restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each PWM Strategy. Within the PWM Strategies, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs in a PWM Strategy or may add or subtract SEI Funds and SEI ETFs from a model. SIMC also may create new models within PWM Strategies program. SIMC may allocate to registered SEI Funds or SEI ETFs within existing or new models. Since a large portion of the assets in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs are comprised of Clients following these PWM Strategies (or other asset allocation models for which SIMC either determines or influences the allocation), model reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. While reallocations are intended to benefit Clients that invest in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs through the PWM Strategies, they could, in certain cases, have a detrimental effect on the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs that are being materially reallocated, including; increasing portfolio turnover (and related transaction costs), disrupting portfolio management strategy, and causing a SEI Fund or SEI ETF to incur taxable gains. SIMC seeks to manage the impact to the SEI Funds resulting from reallocations. Further, Clients following the PWM Strategies may experience transaction costs due to the purchase and redemption of SEI Fund or SEI ETF shares, including capital gains. SIMC seeks to manage the impact to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs resulting from reallocations. For temporary defensive or liquidity purposes during unusual economic or market conditions, SIMC may change the allocations of the PWM Strategies in a manner that would not ordinarily be consistent with a portfolio’s strategy. SIMC will only do so only if it believes that the risk of loss outweighs the opportunity for capital gains or higher income. During such time, a portfolio may not achieve its investment goal. SEI Alternative Funds SIMC also serves as investment advisor for several privately offered investment funds, referred to as the “SEI Alternative Funds.” To the extent that certain of SIMC’s Clients qualify, they will be eligible to participate as investors in the SEI Alternative Funds. Investment in the SEI Alternative Funds involves a significant degree of risk and is an appropriate investment only for those investors who do not require a liquid investment. The SEI Alternative Funds may currently be structured in one of three ways; (a) fund-of-funds, meaning that the fund invests in underlying third-party funds; (b) direct, meaning that the fund invests in direct holdings as selected by SIMC or by SIMC appointed third-party sub-advisors; and/or (c) customizable, meaning that a segregated portfolio within a fund, or a dedicated fund, could invest as set forth in (a) and (b) above along with a customizable component wherein the Client participates in tailoring the investments to accommodate its individualized needs or objectives. SIMC has the ultimate responsibility for the investment performance of the SEI Alternative Funds due to its responsibility to select investments and monitor investment portfolios and oversee underlying funds and their managers. Since certain affiliates of SIMC provide accounting and other services to third-party hedge funds, it is possible that some underlying funds in which the SEI Alternative Funds invest may use a SIMC affiliate for such services, for which that affiliate will earn fees. SIMC seeks to mitigate the risk of such a conflict by conducting the same comprehensive due diligence and selection process with respect to all underlying funds, without any consideration to whether or not the underlying funds and their managers have any business relationship with a SIMC affiliate. SIMC offers various SEI Alternative Funds, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals. The SEI Alternative Funds are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather are designed to enable Clients to be matched with an SEI Alternative Fund that is consistent with the Client’s Investment Guidelines. Additionally, Clients invested in the SEI Alternative Funds may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities within each SEI Alternative Fund, except as described above. SIMC receives compensation either directly as the investment advisor to the SEI Alternative Fund or is paid an advisory fee directly from Clients investing into the SEI Alternative Fund, with the application of proper fee offsetting/crediting in accordance with applicable law. 6  Managed Account Solutions PWM may invest Client assets in MAS. In certain cases, SIMC may recommend that a PWM Client allocate all or a portion of its assets to MAS. MAS is a wrap fee program, in which SIMC charges a bundled fee that includes advisory, brokerage and custody services. SIMC sponsors and is advisor to MAS. SIMC manages certain portfolios in MAS directly, rather than through the use of sub-advisors, as noted in the applicable Client paperwork. These investment management services are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific individuals, but rather the program is designed to enable Clients to be matched with a portfolio that is consistent with the Client’s investment goals and objectives. However, a Client may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on the management of Client’s account. A Client may authorize his or her Independent Advisor to instruct SIMC to provide end- of-year tax loss harvesting in the Managed Account Strategy by substituting appropriate securities, generally broad based exchange traded funds to achieve the tax benefits. SIMC will tax loss harvest up to the amount authorized by the Client to the extent the tax savings may be reasonably achieved while still maintaining the selected strategy. End-of-year tax loss harvesting can cause a variance in the performance of the selected strategy. 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, as “vendors” to provide the selected screens. Each vendor can vary materially 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, Clients can expect that the vendors’ screens will 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. Within MAS, SIMC currently offers two broad categories of investment strategies that we refer to throughout this Brochure as “SIMC Managed Account Strategies”: (1) “Individual Manager Strategies” which are individual investment strategies (or model investment portfolios) constructed by third party investment managers selected and overseen by SIMC (“Portfolio Managers”) or, in certain cases, constructed and directly managed by SIMC, covering a broad spectrum of available investment styles; and (2) “Models-Based Strategies” consisting of investment strategy models managed directly by SIMC comprised of either (i) SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, (ii) third party exchanged traded funds (“ETFs”) and/or SEI ETFs, or (iii) third party branded investment strategies investing in families of third- party mutual funds or ETFs managed by well-established fund/ETF sponsors. A detailed description of MAS, including the services provided, available SIMC Managed Account Strategies and the related fees, can be found in the Wrap Brochure. Use of Affiliates For each of the programs and products described in this Brochure, SIMC hires one or more of its affiliate(s) to perform various services, including transition management services when transitioning Client assets to SIMC from its previous service providers, sub-advisory services, administrative services, custodial services, brokerage and/or other services and such affiliates receive compensation for providing such services. Please refer to Item 10 for additional information. 7  Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Fees for PWM Investment Advisory Services SIMC will charge Clients an Advice Fee based on either the value of the Client’s assets held at SEI Private Trust Company (“SPTC”), or the value of the Client’s assets held at SPTC and the value of the Client’s assets held at third-party custodians for which SIMC may provide investment management services. The Advice Fee covers SIMC’s ongoing discretionary management of the Client’s assets and the provision of any additional services. The maximum Advice Fee SIMC charges to a Client’s taxable accounts is 125 bps, and the maximum Advice Fee for Client’s Non-Taxable Accounts (i.e., account assets governed by ERISA or individual retirement accounts) is 260 bps. SIMC will either invoice Clients for these fees, or deduct these fees from the Client’s custody account. The fee structure for Clients who engaged SIMC for services prior to March 2008 may differ from those set forth above. In addition, SIMC may assess a Minimum Advice Fee if the calculated Advice Fee is less than the quarterly portion of the Minimum Advice Fee. Alternatively, SIMC may assess a Flat Advice Fee in lieu of the Advice Fee. The Advice Fee, Minimum Advice Fee and Flat Advice Fee, when applicable, are stated in the Investment Management Agreement and are negotiable based on the value of the Client’s assets and the services provided to the Client. Clients may also pay custody fees to SPTC when their assets are custodied at SPTC. SIMC and/or its affiliates may voluntarily waive certain custody fees for its Clients. Clients can refer to their custody agreement and client information forms for specific information on SPTC fees. SIMC may also charge Clients a flat fee to engage PWM for special projects, such as a review of a Client’s estate plan. The fees that PWM charge for a special project will vary based on the complexity of the project and will be individually negotiated for each Client. SIMC’s fee is pro-rated and paid quarterly, in arrears, based upon a percentage of the average market value of the assets under management on the last business day of each month in the calendar quarter and of the month immediately preceding the commencement of the calendar quarter, in accordance with the fee schedule above. SIMC’s fees are negotiable, and SIMC, in its sole discretion, may charge a lesser management fee and/or waive or modify the annual minimum fee based upon certain criteria (e.g. anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with Client, a Client who has engaged SIMC to provide financial planning and/or non-investment related services). Fees for SEI Funds and PWM Strategies Each SEI Fund and SEI ETF pay an advisory fee to SIMC that is based on a percentage of the portfolio's average daily net assets, as described in the applicable fund’s prospectus. From such amount, SIMC pays a portion of the advisory fee to the sub-advisor(s) to the SEI Funds, if any. SIMC’s fund advisory fee varies, but it typically ranges from 0.03% - 1.50% of the portfolio's average daily net assets for its advisory services. Affiliates of SIMC provide administrative, distribution to all of the SEI Funds and transfer agency services to most of the SEI Funds, as noted above and described in the SEI Funds’ registration statements and are paid a fee from the SEI Funds for such services. However, in connection with the SEI ETFs, SIMC pays all fund expenses, except for the fees paid to SIMC for advisory services, interest expenses, dividend and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, expenses incurred with respect to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities and the execution of portfolio transactions (including brokerage commissions), acquired fund fees and expenses, distribution fees or expenses. These fees and expenses are paid by the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs but ultimately are borne by each shareholder of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. If a Client invests in a PWM Strategy, the Client will be charged the expense ratios of the applicable SEI Funds included in the applicable model. Clients may have the option to purchase certain SIMC investment products, including the SEI Funds and SEI ETF, that SIMC 8  recommends through other brokers or agents not affiliated with SIMC. Fees for Managed Account Solutions For a description of the fees applicable to Clients invested through MAS, please refer to the Wrap Brochure. Fees for SEI Alternative Funds In general, the share classes of the SEI Alternative Funds available to Clients working with PWM in an investment management capacity do not pay SIMC a separate fee, as those fees are negotiated on a Client- by-Client basis in the investment management agreement executed between SIMC and the Client. To the extent an SEI Alternative Fund pays SIMC a fee, such fees are disclosed in the private placement memorandum. As part of the ongoing product and launch strategy, additional share classes will be developed and exist within certain SEI Alternative Funds that pay SIMC or a SIMC affiliate a fee for management services provided to the fund and will are sold through SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”) (the “Broker-sold Share Classes”). SIDCO is paid placement agent fees by the applicable SEI Alternative Fund, SIMC, SIMC’s affiliates or directly by the investor. Broker-sold Share Classes are generally not available to Clients accessing SEI Alternative Funds through an investment management agreement. SIMC does not provide investment management services to investors purchasing Broker-sold Share Classes. Due to differing fee structures and services provided, Client accessing SEI Alternative Funds through an investment management agreement with SIMC may incur total fees that are higher or lower than the fees incurred by investors purchasing Broker-sold Share Classes of SEI Alternative Funds. These arrangements create conflicts of interest, as SIMC and its affiliates have an incentive to offer or include share classes that result in additional compensation. Additional Compensation In addition to salary and regular incentive compensation (which may include equity awards), certain members may be compensated based on business development activities, including the acquisition of new assets, the addition of assets for existing clients, fee increases from flat to asset-based arrangements associated with the addition of services and assets within current client portfolios, and the number of referrals of prospective clients. This may include cross-border referrals that result in new business for institutional clients, referrals that result in a client’s engagement of SEI Private Wealth Management for investment advisory services, and recognized net revenue generated through transition-related services. 9  Item 6 – Performance Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management SIMC does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a Client) to Clients of PWM. For certain SEI Alternative Funds, SIMC or its affiliate is entitled to either an incentive allocation or a payment in respect of a portion of the profits generated by the fund which is not negotiated on a Client- by-Client basis. Such allocations and payments are made in either one of two ways (i) once investors have received a certain level of distributions or (ii) the investor’s investment has surpassed certain fixed appreciation thresholds. Performance-based fee arrangements may create an incentive for SIMC to recommend investments which may be riskier or more speculative than those which would be recommended under a different fee arrangement. Performance-based fee arrangements also could create an incentive for SIMC to favor higher fee-paying accounts over other accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities. As a result, SIMC may have a financial incentive to invest Client assets through the SEI Alternative Funds. SIMC has a robust Client review process designed and implemented to review the suitability of investments for Client accounts, to ensure that all Clients are treated fairly, and to prevent this conflict from influencing the allocation of investment opportunities among Clients. Please refer to Item 11 for more information on side-by-side management. 10  Item 7 – Types of Clients Please refer to Item 4 for a description of the Clients to whom SIMC and PWM generally provides investment advice. 11  Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss SIMC’s Overall Investment Philosophy SIMC’s philosophy is based on four key components: asset allocation, portfolio design, implementation, and risk management. SIMC’s philosophy and process offers clients personalization, diversification, coordination and management and represents a strategy geared toward achieving long-term investment goals in various financial climates. Asset Allocation. SIMC’s approach to asset allocation takes clients’ goals into account, along with more traditional inputs such as asset class risk and return expectations. We believe that acknowledging and accounting for common behavioral biases while simultaneously harnessing the power of efficient portfolio construction can help investors maximize the chances of achieving their financial objectives. We also believe that constructing portfolios according to investors’ major financial goals (such as retirement, education or lifestyle) and aligned with the risk tolerance associated with each of those objectives provides a greater understanding of how the goals and investments align. This should allow for a higher level of comfort with the overall investment strategy—thereby increasing the odds that investors will remain invested in the financial markets and focused on achieving their goals rather than making portfolio changes as a reaction to short-term market volatility. We believe that maintaining consistent exposure to the markets over time is the surest way to earn attractive returns, and that doing so with a goals- based approach should help investors achieve their financial goals. In constructing portfolios that correspond with a particular objective, we seek to deliver the maximum expected return available given the goal’s risk tolerance. SIMC constructs multiple model portfolios to address a wide variety of client goals and dedicates considerable resources to evolving our investment offerings to help keep pace with an ever-changing market. Portfolio Design. In terms of portfolio design, SIMC generally attempts to identify alpha source(s), or opportunities for returns in excess of the benchmark, across equity, fixed-income and alternative- investment portfolios. SIMC looks for potential sources of excess return that have demonstrated staying power over the long term across multiple markets in a given geographic region. Alpha sources are classified into broad categories; categorizing them in this manner allows us to create portfolios that are not simply diversified between asset classes (e.g., equity and fixed-income strategies), but also diversified across the underlying drivers of alpha. Implementation. When building portfolios, SIMC seeks to identify, analyze, select, and monitor investment strategies with characteristics that can be expected to outperform the portfolio’s benchmark in the future— through both external investment managers and internally managed portfolios. SIMC may use a multi-manager implementation, which means that SIMC hires sub-advisors (third- party and affiliated) to select individual securities. As a multi-manager, SIMC aims to identify, classify and validate manager skill when choosing sub-advisors. Differentiating manager skill from market- generated returns is one of SIMC’s primary objectives, as it seeks to identify sub-advisors that it believes can deliver superior results over time. SIMC develops forward-looking expectations regarding how a manager will execute a given investment mandate, environments in which the strategy should outperform and environments in which the strategy might underperform. In certain circumstances, SIMC may default to internal managers due to similar risk and return characteristics and similarly positioned results that provide improved pricing. While SEI applies its internal controls and review processes over its internally managed strategies, these controls differ from the processes SIMC uses to oversee third party managers. Due to these differences, SEI will not normally downgrade or replace a recommended SEI-managed strategy as it would with a third party manager, since SEI would address concerns with its managed strategies through its internal processes. 12  SIMC selects sub-advisors based on SIMC's manager research process. SIMC uses proprietary databases and software, supplemented by data from various third parties, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of sub-advisors. The qualitative analysis focuses on a manager's investment philosophy, process, personnel, portfolio construction and performance. Quantitative analysis identifies the sources of a manager's return relative to a benchmark. SIMC typically uses performance attribution models from providers such as Axioma, BlackRock and others in this process. SIMC typically appoints several sub-advisors within a stated asset class. For instance, SIMC will generally have more than one sub-advisor assigned to the large-cap growth asset class. After identifying the investment strategy, factors, and investment managers, SIMC implements a portfolio construction process that seeks to build the optimal portfolio to achieve the stated investment objectives. Strategically, it needs to ensure that the portfolio is sufficiently exposed to targeted factors and an appropriate level of risk (in absolute or benchmark-relative terms, depending on the objective), while remaining suitably diversified. SIMC makes adjustments to the portfolio as needed in order to maintain the balance between sources of risk and return. Tactically, it also adjusts the portfolio throughout the market cycle—leaning more heavily into factors that are expected to outperform in the years ahead and downplaying those expected to underperform. Risk Management. SIMC relies on a risk management group to focus on common risks across and within asset classes. Daily monitoring of assigned portfolio tolerances and deviations result in an active risk mitigation program. SIMC employs a multi-asset risk-management system to provide a consistent view of risk across asset classes—while preserving a distinct separation between risk oversight and portfolio management in order to preserve objectivity. The Investment Risk Management team is responsible for determining whether the risks of SEI’s investment strategies are consistent with their mandates. It reports directly to SEI’s Chief Risk Officer, which helps maintain impartiality and allows for direct access and support from senior management. Governance. In an effort to remain unbiased, SIMC’s governance structure is independent of portfolio management. It includes various oversight committees, which are each chaired by the head of Investment Risk Management. Manager Research Services SIMC offers various manager research services both within SIMC’s MAS program and outside of such program as a stand-alone service. We discuss these services below. 1. Research Fundamental to SIMC’s Investment Management Services (Within SIMC’s MAS program). As a pioneer in the manager-of managers investment approach, a fundamental component of SIMC’s core investment services is researching the available universe of third-party sub-advisor strategies and hiring only those sub-advisors meeting SIMC’s criteria for specific asset classes as sub-advisors within SIMC’s various managed account types, including as sub-advisors to the SEI Funds and foreign pooled funds, as well as making these manager strategies available in SIMC’s sponsored MAS program (both U.S. and global). For the MAS program, SIMC conducts research on the universe of available sub-advisor strategies in order to select and retain sub- advisors SIMC believes are appropriate (or terminate if inappropriate) for the MAS program when SIMC is acting in a fiduciary capacity. And, on occasion SIMC may provide our manager research analysis to certain of our clients investing in this program when requested as part of the investment management services provided. 2. Stand-Alone Research (Outside of SIMC’s MAS program). As an outgrowth of SIMC’s competency in vetting sub-advisor strategies (as noted above), 13  SIMC provides a service in which institutional clients (e.g., banks, large financial service providers, etc.) hire SIMC to conduct research on third- party investment manager strategies as requested by the institutional client. When providing “Stand-Alone Research Services,” SIMC is not hired to act as a discretionary manager to the client, but rather to conduct investment research on any third-party investment manager strategy as directed by the client and in accordance with the research agreement outlining the services provided. Generally, when providing Stand-Alone Research Services: a. The levels of research SIMC conducts on a manager and the manager’s investment strategy will vary based on the contracted level of services, but generally involves either a quantitative and/or qualitative review of the manager and its associated strategy, with written documentation commensurate with the level of service providing insights and, in all cases, summarizing SIMC’s point of view on the manager strategy. Service levels generally differ as to the extent (or depth) of the research SIMC will conduct initially and on- going on the manager strategies selected for research by a client as set forth in the applicable research agreement. b. On occasion, as part of the Stand-Alone Research Services, a client may request SIMC to provide research on a manager investment strategy that is currently used by SIMC within one or more of SIMC’s managed investment programs where SIMC has hired the manager as a sub-advisor (e.g., the manager is a sub-advisor to an SEI Fund or available in MAS) (each, a “SIMC Contracted Strategy”). While the research output provided to the client about a SIMC Contracted Strategy may be the same as the output provided on a third- party manager strategy under the Stand-Alone Research Services, SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies because of its inclusion in SIMC’s MAS program (or as sub- advisor to an SEI Fund) and a result of SIMC’s familiarity with such SIMC Contracted Strategies. This research includes in depth initial and ongoing reviews of the manager’s investment strategy and methodologies, investment personnel, business structure and compliance program. Accordingly, SIMC generally charges Stand- Alone Research Service clients a different fee (generally under a basis point fee schedule) when providing research on SIMC Contracted Strategies. As a result of the pricing model, such fees may be more (or less in some cases) than what SIMC charges clients for research on third-party manager strategies, regardless of the level of research output requested. This differentiated fee schedule is intended to reflect the additional initial and on-going research and due diligence conducted on SIMC Contracted Strategies, including services not generally provided in connection with the Stand-Alone Research Services. If our view of a SIMC Contracted Strategy changes (i.e., downgraded), this change may be reflected in our investment programs (e.g., manager termination/changes) prior to the time we notify research clients of the change in SIMC’s view of the strategy. c. The level of research we conduct on third-party managers depends on client contracted service levels. As a result, if clients with different service levels request research on the same manager investment strategy, clients may receive different levels of analysis output, such as a more detailed manager reports versus shorter analysis summaries. However, in all cases research output includes SIMC’s point of view of the strategy and changes by SIMC in this 14  regard are communicated to all research clients at the same time. strategy available through a d. As part of the Stand-Alone Research Services a client may request SIMC to recommend investment strategies for specified asset classes when the client is adding an additional asset class to its investment program or the client is replacing a current manager’s investment strategy (each, a “Recommended Strategy”). In many cases a Recommended Strategy may be available through several delivery methods, such as through separately managed accounts or through pooled vehicles, such as mutual funds sponsored or managed by the applicable investment manager. While SIMC does not normally consider an investment strategy’s various delivery methods as part of the Research Services, if a client has informed SIMC that it prefers a pooled fund implementation, SIMC will limit its research universe to investment strategies available through a fund implementation. And, SIMC will also provide limited research on the available pooled vehicles. In some cases SIMC may not recommend an investment strategy that it would have otherwise recommended as a result of this product-level review, and will instead recommend a different investment manger’s fund implementation. e. When recommending investment strategies as part of the Stand- Alone Research Services, to the extent an investment strategy meeting the client’s requested asset class/investment style criteria is available, SIMC will first recommend a SIMC Contracted Strategy since SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies. If a Contracted Strategy does not meet the client’s requested criteria, SIMC will then recommend a third party investment strategy based on SIMC’s research of available investment strategies. In certain situations that vary based on how the customer chooses to implement a recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC will earn compensation that it would not earn by recommending an investment strategy not available within SIMC’s current investment programs. For instance, if the customer uses MAS or an SEI Fund to access the recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC, and it some cases, SIMC’s affiliates, would earn fees in addition to the Stand-Alone Research Service fees. Any additional compensation SIMC (or its affiliates) would earn as a result of any such recommendation is disclosed to the client at the time of the recommendation and any use of such recommend investment strategy remains solely with the client. 3. Affiliates Model Platform Services. SIMC’s affiliates provide a technology and operational service platform to deliver to these institutional customers’ manager strategy model data for manager strategies selected by such customers. While these investment models are selected by client independently, and not by SIMC, in many cases SIMC may have provided research on the investment strategies selected by the client under a research contract. In certain cases, SIMC and its affiliate may jointly contract with an institutional client to provide both Stand Alone Research and model delivery services. To the extent that a model platform client selects a SIMC Contracted Strategy for model, SIMC’s affiliate providing model delivery services may agree to reduce or waive its model delivery platform service fee otherwise payable, as SIMC is already receiving model delivery information in connection with its own managed investment programs and, as noted above, generally charges clients more for research on SIMC manager 15  strategies. This fee waiver may create an incentive for SIMC’s client to select a SIMC Contracted Strategy over a non-SIMC Contracted Strategy as a result of the lower model platform delivery fee. SIMC informs clients, which are typically sophisticated financial intermediaries, of this fee structure when contracting with the client for model delivery services. 4. SIMC’s Affiliates Service Sub-Advisors. SIMC’s affiliates provide technology, operational and administrative services to a wide variety of financial service intermediaries, including sub- advisors that may be subject to research ratings by SIMC. While this business relationship could cause a potential conflict of interest by SIMC when rating a manager strategy, to mitigate any conflicts, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEIC program and/or strategy offering. 5. SEI Access Marketplace Select List (the “Select List”). The SEI Access Marketplace is a digital platform developed by SEI Access Platform, LLC (the “Access Platform”), an affiliate of SIMC, to provide access to alternative investments for financial professionals. The SEI Access Marketplace includes subscription processing and educational content. SIMC has been engaged by the Access Platform, through its affiliate SIDCO, to perform certain research services (i.e., the Select List) for the Access Platform. The Select List is a subset of the alternative investment offerings available through the SEI Access Marketplace that have gone through an in-depth due diligence review conducted by, and that have meet certain criteria developed by, SIMC (the “Select List Funds”). In connection with the Select List, SIMC also produces a proprietary due diligence report (the “Select List Due Diligence Report”) for each such Select List Funds which is made available to the financial professionals accessing the SEI Access Marketplace. SIMC’s client under this arrangement is the Access Platform. The Select List, along with the Select List Due Diligence Reports, are made available on the SEI Access Marketplace for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice, a recommendation or an endorsement of the Select List Funds. SIMC may provide recommendations outside of the Select List when making individualized investment recommendations to its advisory clients. Implementation Through Investment Products The foregoing discusses SIMC’s investment philosophy in designing diversified investment portfolios for SIMC’s clients. In most cases, implementation of a client’s investment portfolio is accomplished through investing in a range of investment products, which may include mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, closed- end funds, including interval funds, private equity funds, collective investment trusts, or managed accounts. In order to provide clients with sufficient diversification and flexibility, SIMC manages products across a very wide range of investment strategies. These would include, to varying degrees, large and small capitalization U.S. equities, foreign developed markets equities, foreign emerging markets equity, real estate securities, U.S. investment grade fixed income securities, U.S. high yield (below investment grade) fixed income securities, foreign developed market fixed income securities, emerging markets debt, U.S. and foreign government securities, currencies, structured or asset-backed fixed income securities (including mortgage-backed), municipal bonds and other types of asset classes. SIMC also manages Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) investments and Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLO”) investments within certain investment products. CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. SIMC may also seek to achieve a product’s investment objectives by investing in derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards, options, swaps or other types of derivative instruments. Additionally, SIMC may also seek to achieve an investment product’s objective by investing some or all of its assets in affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, including money 16  market funds. Within a mutual fund product, SIMC may also seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in a wholly owned subsidiary of the mutual fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain of SIMC’s product strategies may also attempt to utilize tax- management techniques to manage the impact of taxes. Further, SIMC may invest SIMC’s alternative funds and interval funds in third-party hedge funds or private equity funds that engage in a wide variety of investment techniques and strategies that carry varying degrees of risks. This may include long-short equity strategies, equity market neutral, merger arbitrage, credit hedging, distressed debt, sovereign debt, real estate, private equity investments, derivatives, currencies or other types of investments. While SIMC’s investment strategies are normally implemented through pooled investment products, certain clients’ assets are invested directly in the target investments through a managed account or other means. The strategies that SIMC implements in such accounts is currently more limited than the breadth of strategies contained in SIMC’s funds, and generally covers U.S. large and small capitalization equity securities, international and emerging market ADRs, REITs, and U.S. fixed income securities, including government securities and municipal bonds. SIMC may also implement strategies involving derivative securities directly within a client’s accounts. Investment Product Strategies Since SIMC implements such a broad range of strategies within its investment products, it would not be practical to set forth in detail each strategy that SIMC has developed for use across its products. The disclosure in this Brochure is not intended to supplant any product-specific disclosure documents. Clients should refer to the prospectus or other offering materials that it receives in conjunction with investing in a SIMC investment product for a detailed discussion of the strategy and risks associated with such product. Moreover, this Form ADV disclosure addresses strategies designed and implemented by SIMC and does not address strategies that are implemented by third parties (e.g., unaffiliated investment advisors, banks, institutions or other intermediaries) through the use of SIMC products. A strategy’s exposure to the foregoing asset classes, including the degree of exposure, is subject to change at any time due to evolving investment philosophies and market conditions. The risks associated with such strategies are also therefore subject to change at any time. Material Risks All strategies implemented by SIMC involve a risk of loss that clients should understand, accept and be prepared to bear. Given the very wide range of investments in which a client’s assets may be invested, either directly by investing in individual securities and/or through one or more pooled investment vehicles or funds, there is similarly a very wide range of risks to which a client’s assets may be exposed. This Brochure does not include every potential risk associated with an investment strategy, or all of the risks applicable to a particular advisory account. Rather, it is a general description of the nature and risks of the strategies and securities and other financial instruments in which advisory accounts may invest. The particular risks to which a specific client might be exposed will depend on the specific investment strategies incorporated into that client’s portfolio. As such, for a detailed description of the material risks of investing in a particular product, the client should, on or prior to investing, also refer to such product’s prospectus or other offering materials. Set forth below are certain material risks to which a client might be exposed in connection with SIMC’s implementation of a strategy for client accounts: Absolute Return – A portfolio that seeks to achieve an absolute return with reduced correlation to stock and bond markets may not achieve positive returns over short or long term periods. 17  Investment strategies that have historically been non-correlated or have demonstrated low correlations to one another or to stock and bond markets may become correlated at certain times and, as a result, may cease to function as anticipated over either short or long term periods. Artificial Intelligence Technology—The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of certain artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning models and generative artificial intelligence (collectively “AI”), may adversely impact markets, the overall performance of a Fund’s investments, or the services provided to a Fund. AI technologies are highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data and complex algorithms, and it is possible that the information provided through use of AI technologies could be insufficient, incomplete, inaccurate or biased, leading to adverse effects for a Fund, including, potentially, operational errors and investment losses. AI technologies and their current and potential future applications, and the regulatory frameworks within which they operate, continue to rapidly evolve, and it is impossible to predict the full extent of future applications or regulations and the associated risks to a Fund. To the extent a Fund invests in companies that are involved in various aspects of AI, the Fund will be affected by the risks of those types of companies, including changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, and changes in government regulation. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. Companies that are extensively involved in AI also may rely heavily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies’ technology. Further, because of the innovative nature of the AI market, outpaced advancement by one company or increasing market share by one company could result in rapid and substantial declines in the value of competing companies. In addition, market reaction to the potential impact of AI could result in excess demand for access to AI-related investments, thereby resulting in accelerated growth in the market value of such companies, which may then be subject to sharp resets in the wake of news or other information that tempers expectations of AI or of particular AI- related companies, thus potentially resulting in periods of high volatility in the price of such securities, which could negatively affect the Funds’ performance. Asset Allocation Risk – The risk that an investment advisor’s decisions regarding a portfolio’s allocation to asset classes or underlying funds will not anticipate market trends successfully. Asset-Backed Securities Risk – Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the portfolio may acquire. Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk – Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as “high yield bonds,” but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return. These risks may be increased in foreign and emerging markets. Call Risk — Issuers of callable bonds may call (redeem) securities with higher coupons or interest rates before their maturity dates. A portfolio may be forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the portfolio’s income. Bonds may be called due to falling interest rates or non-economic circumstances. Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) Risk – CDOs and 18  CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. CDOs and CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CDO and CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CDOs and CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CDO or CLO, respectively, in which the portfolio invests. CDOs and CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk, which are described below. For example, a liquidity crisis in the global credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and high-yield debt securities and limited liquidity for such instruments. When a portfolio invests in CDOs or CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CDO’s or CLO’s expenses. The impact of expenses is especially relevant when a portfolio invests in the lowest tranche (the “equity tranche”) of a CDO or CLO. At the equity tranche level, expenses of a CDO or CLO may reduce distributions available to the portfolio before impacting distributions available to investors above the equity tranche and thereby disproportionately impact the portfolio’s investment in such CDO or CLO. Commercial Paper Risk — Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured short-term promissory notes issued by corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. Commercial paper is usually sold on a discount basis and has a maturity at the time of issuance generally not exceeding 270 days. The value of commercial paper may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities. The value of commercial paper will tend to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk – Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stock or other securities that may be converted into or exercised for a prescribed amount of common stock at a specified time and price. The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value typically declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline, and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature. Convertible securities may also be rated below investment grade (junk bonds) or may not be rated and are subject to credit risk and prepayment risk. Preferred stocks are nonvoting equity securities that pay a stated fixed or variable rate dividend. Due to their fixed income features, preferred stocks provide higher income potential than issuers’ common stocks, but are typically more sensitive to interest rate changes than an underlying common stock. Preferred stocks are also subject to equity market risk. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities. Preferred stock may also be subject to prepayment risk. Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk – Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as to perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers. Credit Risk – The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. Currency Risk – As a result of investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies a portfolio will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the portfolio would be adversely affected. To the extent that a portfolio takes active or passive positions in securities denominated in foreign currencies it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. 19  Current Market Conditions Risk — A particular investment, or the market value of a portfolio’s investments in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions Unexpected changes in interest rates could lead to significant market volatility or reduce liquidity in certain sectors of the market. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad may adversely impact the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could negatively impact a portfolio’s investments and operations. In particular, the imposition of tariffs on foreign countries has led to retaliatory tariffs by certain foreign countries and could lead to retaliatory tariffs imposed by additional foreign countries, as well as increased and prolonged market volatility, and sector-specific downturns in industries reliant on international trade. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. If any geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets and individual securities may be adversely affected, and the value of a portfolio’s assets may decline. Additional examples of events that have led to fluctuations in markets include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments and businesses, elevated inflation levels and problems in the banking sector. Additionally, advancements in technologies such as AI may also adversely impact markets, disrupt existing industries and sectors and dislocate opportunities in the labor force, which could negatively affect the overall performance of a portfolio. Depositary Receipts Risk – Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. Derivatives Risk – A portfolio’s use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market risk are described below. Many over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. A portfolio’s use of forward contracts and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of these risks could cause a portfolio to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the portfolio’s initial investment. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. The portfolio’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by investors. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and implemented regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear. Duration Risk – Longer-term securities in which a portfolio may invest tend to be more volatile than shorter term securities. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration. Environment, Social and Governance Investment Criteria Risk – If a portfolio is subject to certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities, or may sell certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the application of portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively or negatively, 20  depending on whether these issuers, industries, sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor. An adviser or vendor can vary materially from other ESG advisers and vendors with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios or screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a result, an adviser’s or vendor’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG advisers or vendors with respect to the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria is dependent on data and is subject to the risk that such data reported by issuers or received from third party sources may be subjective, or may be objective in principal but not verified or reliable. Equity Market Risk – The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Equity market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole. Equity markets may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk (including leveraged ETFs) – The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities or other instruments the ETF is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Leveraged ETFs contain all of the risks that non-leveraged ETFs present. Additionally, to the extent the portfolio invests in ETFs that achieve leveraged exposure to their underlying indexes through the use of derivative instruments, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to leverage risk, described below. Leveraged Inverse ETFs seek to provide investment results that match a negative multiple of the performance of an underlying index. To the extent that the portfolio invests in Leveraged Inverse ETFs, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to the risk that the performance of such ETF will fall as the performance of that ETF’s benchmark rises. Leveraged and Leveraged Inverse ETFs often “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. These investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose a portfolio to significant losses. When a portfolio invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF’s expenses. See also, “Exchange-Traded Products Risk”, below. Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) Risk — The risks of owning interests of an ETP, such as an ETF, ETN or exchange-traded commodity pool, generally reflect the same risks as owning the underlying securities or other instruments that the ETP is designed to track. The shares of certain ETPs may trade at a premium or discount to their intrinsic value (i.e., the market value may differ from the net asset value of an ETP’s shares). For example, supply and demand for shares of an ETF or market disruptions may cause the market price of the ETF to deviate from the value of the ETF’s investments, which may be emphasized in less liquid markets. The value of an ETN may also differ from the valuation of its reference market or instrument due to changes in the issuer’s credit rating. By investing in an ETP, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, the portfolio indirectly bears the proportionate share of any fees and expenses of the ETP. Because certain ETPs may have a significant portion of their assets exposed directly or indirectly to commodities or commodity-linked securities, developments affecting commodities may have a disproportionate impact on such ETPs and may subject the ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Extension Risk – The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security’s value. Fixed Income Market Risk —The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic 21  developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. Markets for fixed income securities may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long- term. In response to these events, a portfolio’s value may fluctuate. Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk – The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries. Investments in emerging markets are subject to the added risk that information in emerging market investments may be unreliable or outdated due to differences in regulatory, accounting or auditing and financial record keeping standards, or because less information about emerging market investments is publicly available. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with emerging market investments may be different than investments in developed markets. A lack of reliable information, rights and remedies increase the risks of investing in emerging markets in comparison to more developed markets. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the portfolio to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the portfolio. Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — The risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. Income Risk – The possibility that a portfolio’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. Inflation Protected Securities Risk – The value of inflation protected securities, including TIPS, generally will fluctuate in response to changes in “real” interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal (or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In addition, interest payments on inflation- indexed securities will generally vary up or down along with the rate of inflation. Interest Rate Risk – The risk that a change in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities in which the portfolio invests. Generally, the value of a portfolio’s fixed income securities will vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by a portfolio. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Interval Fund Risk – See also, “Investment Company Risk” below. Unlike many closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, an interval fund typically does not intend to list its shares for trading on any securities exchange and does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares in the foreseeable future. Therefore, an investment in an interval fund, 22  unlike an investment in a typical closed-end fund, is not a liquid investment. An interval fund is designed primarily for long- term investors and not as a trading vehicle. An interval fund will, subject to applicable law, conduct quarterly repurchase offers of a portion of its outstanding shares at net asset value. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their Shares repurchased. Even though an interval fund will make quarterly repurchase offers, you should consider the Shares to be illiquid. Investment Company Risk – When a portfolio invests in an investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company’s expenses. In addition, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, a portfolio may be subject to additional or different risks than if the portfolio had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Closed-end investment companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the- counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value. As a result, a closed-end fund’s share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund. See also, “Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) Risk” and “Interval Fund Risk” above. Investment Style Risk – The risk that the portfolio’s strategy may underperform other segments of the markets or the markets as a whole. Large Capitalization Risk – The risk that larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies. Leverage Risk – A portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in the portfolio’s total investment exposure substantially exceeding the value of its securities and the portfolio’s investment returns depending substantially on the performance of securities that the portfolio may not directly own. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the portfolio's value and may also cause the portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The portfolio’s use of leverage may result in a heightened risk of investment loss. Liquidity Risk – The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the portfolio would like. The portfolio may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on portfolio management or performance. Master Limited Partnership (MLP) Risk – Investments in units of master limited partnerships involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of master limited partnerships have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment in units of master limited partnerships. In addition, conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders, subordinated unit holders and the general partner of a master limited partnership, including a conflict arising as a result of incentive distribution payments. The benefit the portfolio derives from investment in MLP units is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships and not as corporations for federal income tax purposes. If an MLP were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, there would be reduction in the after- tax return to the portfolio of distributions from the MLP, likely causing a reduction in the value of the portfolio. MLP entities are typically focused in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors of the economy could have an adverse impact on the portfolio. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy may lag the performance of 23  other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Money Market Funds – With respect to an investment in money market funds, an investment in the money market fund is not a bank deposit nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund may seek to maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, you may lose money by investing in the money market fund. A money market fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. This could have a significant adverse effect on the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, and, in extreme circumstances, could cause the fund liquidate completely. Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk – Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage- backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the portfolio’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the portfolio’s expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancing and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the portfolio. Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk – Mortgage dollar rolls, or “covered rolls,” are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities (usually mortgage-backed securities) and simultaneously contracts to repurchase, typically in 30 or 60 days, substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, a portfolio forgoes principal and interest paid on such securities. A portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “drop”), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. At the end of the roll commitment period, a portfolio may or may not take delivery of the securities it has contracted to purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash settlement and initially may involve only a firm commitment agreement by the portfolio to buy a security. A “covered roll” is a specific type of mortgage dollar roll for which there is an offsetting cash position or cash equivalent securities position that matures on or before the forward settlement date of the mortgage dollar roll transaction. As used herein, the term “mortgage dollar roll” refers to mortgage dollar rolls that are not “covered rolls.” If the broker-dealer to whom a portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Other risks involved in entering into mortgage dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the security may change adversely over the term of the mortgage dollar roll and that the security a portfolio is required to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the portfolio originally held. Municipal Securities Risk – Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer- term securities usually respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer’s current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and 24  principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by a portfolio. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of a portfolio’s holdings. As a result, a portfolio will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a portfolio that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be underwritten or guaranteed by a relatively small number of financial services firms, so changes in the municipal securities market that affect those firms may decrease the availability of municipal instruments in the market, thereby making it difficult to identify and obtain appropriate investments for the portfolio. Also, there may be economic or political changes that impact the ability of issuers of municipal securities to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by the portfolio. Any changes in the financial condition of municipal issuers also may adversely affect the value of the portfolio’s securities. Non-Diversified Risk – To the extent that a portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. The portfolio may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic, political, or regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. Opportunity Risk – The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other investments. Options — An option is a contract between two parties for the purchase and sale of a financial instrument for a specified price at any time during the option period. Unlike a futures contract, an option grants the purchaser, in exchange for a premium payment, a right (not an obligation) to buy or sell a financial instrument. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. The seller of an uncovered call (buy) option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the call option without ever getting the opportunity to execute the option. The seller (writer) of a covered put (sell) option (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) will suffer a loss if the increase in the market price of the underlying security is greater than the premium received from the buyer of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the put option without ever getting the opportunity to exercise the option. An option’s time value (i.e., the component of the option’s value that exceeds the in-the-money amount) tends to diminish over time. Even though an option may be in-the-money to the buyer at various times prior to its expiration date, the buyer’s ability to realize the value of an option depends on when and how the option may be exercised. For example, the terms of a transaction may provide for the option to be exercised automatically if it is in-the-money on the expiration date. Conversely, the terms may require timely delivery of a notice of exercise, and exercise may be subject to other conditions (such as the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, such as knock-in, knock- out or other barrier events) and timing requirements, including the “style” of the option. Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) though a portfolio will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security. 25  Overlay Risk – To the extent that a client’s portfolio is implemented through an overlay manager, it is subject to the risk that its performance may deviate from the performance of a sub-advisor’s model or the performance of other proprietary or client accounts over which the sub-advisor retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). The overlay manager’s variation from the sub- advisor’s model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including underperformance. The overlay manager will vary from a model portfolio to, among other reasons, implement tax management strategies, as applicable, and security restrictions. The overlay manager is restricted from purchasing certain securities due to the issuer’s affiliation with SEI or the overlay manager, or due to the overlay manager’s compliance with laws, regulations, and policies that apply to the business activities of its affiliates. In addition, a sub- advisor may implement its model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to the overlay manager. In these circumstances, trades placed by the overlay manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the client’s portfolio receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the sub-advisor for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded. Portfolio Turnover Risk – To the extent that a portfolio buys and sells securities frequently, such activity may result in higher transaction costs and taxes subject to ordinary income tax rates as opposed to more favorable capital gains rates, which may affect the portfolio’s performance. To the extent that a portfolio invests in an underlying fund the portfolio will have no control over the turnover of the underlying fund. Prepayment Risk – The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring a portfolio to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates. Private Placements Risk – Investment in privately placed securities, including interests in private equity and hedge funds, may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the portfolio, the carrying value of such securities or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. Quantitative Investing – A quantitative investment style generally involves the use of computers to implement a systematic or rules-based approach to selecting investments based on specific measurable factors. Due to the significant role technology plays in such strategies, they carry the risk of unintended or unrecognized issues or flaws in the design, coding, implementation or maintenance of the computer programs or technology used in the development and implementation of the quantitative strategy. These issues or flaws, which can be difficult to identify, may result in the implementation of a portfolio that is different from that which was intended, and could negatively impact investment returns. Such risks should be viewed as an inherent element of investing in an investment strategy that relies heavily upon quantitative models and computerization. Utility interruptions or other key systems outages also can impair the performance of quantitative investment strategies. Reallocation Risk – SIMC constructs and maintains global asset allocation strategies for certain clients, and the SEI funds are designed in part to implement those Strategies. Within the Strategies, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the mutual funds to ensure that the appropriate mix of assets is in place. SIMC also may create new Strategies that reflect significant changes in allocation among the mutual funds. Because a significant portion of the assets in the mutual funds may be attributable to investors in Strategies controlled or influenced by SIMC, this reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the mutual funds. Although reallocations are intended to benefit investors that invest in the mutual funds through the Strategies, they could, in certain cases, have a detrimental effect on the mutual funds. Such detrimental effects could include: transaction costs, capital gains and other expenses resulting from an increase in portfolio turnover; and disruptions to the portfolio 26  management strategy, such as foregone investment opportunities or the inopportune sale of securities to facilitate redemptions. Real Estate Industry Risk – Securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may be subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. If a portfolio’s investments are concentrated in issuers conducting business in the real estate industry, the portfolio may be subject to risks associated with legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting that industry. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) – REITs are trusts that invest primarily in commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. Investments in REITs are subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate which is discussed above. Some REITs may have limited diversification and may be subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of properties. Repurchase Agreement Risk — Although a portfolio’s repurchase agreement transactions will be fully collateralized at all times, they generally create leverage and involve some counterparty risk to the portfolio whereby a defaulting counterparty could delay or prevent the portfolio’s recovery of collateral. Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk- Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities to financial institutions, such as banks and broker-dealers, and agrees to repurchase them at a mutually agreed-upon date and price that is higher than the original sale price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve risks. Reverse repurchase agreements are a form of leverage, and the use of reverse repurchase agreements by a portfolio may increase volatility. Reverse repurchase agreements are also subject to the risk that the other party to the reverse repurchase agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a portfolio may decline below the price at which it is obligated to repurchase the securities. In addition, when a portfolio invests the proceeds it receives in a reverse repurchase transaction, there is a risk that those investments may decline in value. In this circumstance, the portfolio could be required to sell other investments in order to meet its obligations to repurchase the securities. Risks of Cyber-Attacks-As with any entity that conducts business through electronic means in the modern marketplace, a portfolio, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized monitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential information, unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the portfolio and its service providers use to service the portfolio’s operations, ransomware, operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the portfolio and its service providers, or various other forms of cyber security breaches. Cyber-attacks affecting a portfolio may adversely impact the portfolio potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses or the inability of to transact business. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of transactions, cause the release of private portfolio information or confidential information, impede trading, subject the portfolio to regulatory fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. The portfolio may also incur additional costs for cyber security risk management purposes designed to mitigate or prevent the risk of cyber-attacks. Such costs may be ongoing because threats of cyber-attacks are constantly evolving as cyber attackers become more sophisticated and their techniques become more complex. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which a portfolio may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the portfolio’s investment in such companies to lose value. There can be no assurance 27  that the portfolio, its service providers, or the issuers of the securities in which it invests will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future. Sampling Risk – With respect to investments in index funds or a portfolio designed to track the performance of an index, a fund or portfolio may not fully replicate a benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund or portfolio may not track the return of its benchmark index as well as it would have if the fund or portfolio purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index. Short Sales— When a portfolio engages in short sales, the proceeds from the sales may be used to purchase long positions in additional equity securities believed will outperform the market or its peers. This strategy may effectively result in the portfolio having a leveraged investment portfolio, which results in greater potential for loss. Leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on a portfolio’s share price and make it’s returns more volatile. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the securities. The use of leverage may also cause a portfolio to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. Small and Medium Capitalization Risk – Small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over the counter (OTC). OTC stocks may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than exchange-listed stocks and may have more price volatility than that of exchange-listed stocks. Structured Securities Risk – A portfolio may invest a portion of assets in entities organized and operated solely for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics of sovereign debt obligations of emerging market issuers. This type of restructuring involves the deposit with, or purchase by, an entity, such as a corporation or trust, of specified instruments (such as commercial bank loans or Brady Bonds) and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of securities (“Structured Securities”) backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying instruments. The cash flow on the underlying instruments may be apportioned among the newly issued Structured Securities to create securities with different investment characteristics, such as varying maturities, payment priorities and interest rate provisions, and the extent of the payments made with respect to Structured Securities is dependent on the extent of the cash flow on the underlying instruments. Because Structured Securities of the type in which the portfolio anticipates it will invest typically involve no credit enhancement, the credit risk will generally be equivalent to that of the underlying instruments. A portfolio is permitted to invest in a class of Structured Securities that is either subordinated or unsubordinated to the right of payment of another class. Subordinated Structured Securities typically have higher yields and present greater risks than unsubordinated Structured Securities. Structured Securities are typically sold in private placement transactions, and there currently is no active trading market for Structured Securities. Certain issuers of such Structured Securities may be deemed to be “investment companies” as defined in the 1940 Act. Taxation Risk – 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. Unless otherwise disclosed, tax-management techniques are limited to, and take into consideration only, the securities held within the individual client account managed by SIMC. The impact of such tax management techniques and strategies may be reduced or eliminated as a result of securities and trading activities in other accounts owned by client, including other client accounts managed by SIMC. 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 28  uncertain and may be challenged by the IRS. A portfolio that is managed to reduce tax consequences to Clients will likely still earn taxable income and gains from time to time, including income subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. In certain instances, when harvesting losses from the sale of an ETF or mutual fund (Original Fund), SIMC may seek to avoid a wash sale while maintaining exposure to the desired asset class. SIMC may do so through the purchase of another ETF or mutual fund (Secondary Fund). Certain strategies may require SIMC to sell the Secondary Fund upon the expiration of the wash-sale period and return to the Original Fund, which may result in short- or long-term gains. Certain portfolio assets may be subject to Section 351 tax treatment. The availability of Section 351 treatment depends on the satisfaction of specific legal and factual requirements, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question or successfully challenge the qualification of any such contribution, whether at the time of contribution or in a subsequent examination. If a contribution of securities is ultimately determined not to qualify for Section 351 treatment, the contribution would be treated as a taxable transaction, and the contributing shareholder would recognize gain or loss on the contributed securities at the time of the contribution. If such a determination is made after the contribution, the shareholder may have previously misreported the tax consequences of the transaction and could be required to amend prior tax returns. In addition, any subsequent disposition of fund shares by the contributing shareholder could be affected by an incorrect initial tax basis, resulting in additional tax liability, interest, or penalties. In order to pay tax-exempt interest, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the portfolio to shareholders to be taxable. Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of tax-exempt securities to fall. The federal income tax treatment on payments with respect to certain derivative contracts is unclear. Consequently, a portfolio may receive payments that are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. To the extent a portfolio invests in ETFs, mutual funds or other pooled products, you should review the applicable prospectus or offering document for additional tax disclosure, including relevant risks. Neither SIMC nor its affiliates provide tax advice. To-Be-Announced (TBA) Transactions — A portfolio may be exposed to TBA transactions risk through its investments in derivatives. In TBA transactions, the selling counterparty does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the purchasing counterparty agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the portfolio’s other assets. In addition, the selling counterparty may not deliver the security as promised. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the portfolio to potential loss and could affect the portfolio’s returns. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to the settlement date. Tracking Error Risk – 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 portfolio's investments and the components of the index and other factors. Underlying Funds Risk – With respect to portfolios that invest in underlying funds, additional investment risk exists because the value of such investments is based primarily on the performance of the underlying funds. Specifically with respect to alternative funds, the entity’s sponsors will make investment and management decisions. Therefore, an underlying fund’s returns are dependent on the investment decisions made by its management and the portfolio will not participate in the management or control the investment decisions of the alternative fund. Further, the returns on a portfolio may be negatively impacted by liquidity restrictions imposed by the governing documents of an alternative fund such as “lock-up” periods, gates, redemption fees and management’s ability to suspend redemptions (in certain cases). Such lock-up periods, gates or suspensions may restrict the portfolio’s ability to exit from an alternative fund in accordance with the intended business plan and prevent the portfolio from liquidating its position 29  upon favorable terms. All of these factors may limit the portfolio’s return under certain circumstances. U.S. Government Securities Risk – Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are still subject to the credit risk of the U.S. Government and are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so. Warrants Risk - Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Warrants may be more speculative than other types of investments. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. 30  Item 9 – Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of SIMC or the integrity of SIMC’s management. SIMC has no information applicable to this Item. 31  Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations SIMC, which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SEIC, hires affiliates and third parties to perform services for SIMC and its clients. Some of these relationships could create conflicts of interest. These relationships are described below. Hiring of Managers and Sub-Advisors As a manager-of-managers, SIMC hires sub-advisors to provide day-to-day securities selection for many of its investment products. SIMC has hired an affiliated advisor, LSV Asset Management (“LSV”) to serve as sub-advisor to some of SIMC’s investment products. Specifically, SIMC’s parent company, SEIC, maintains a minority ownership interest (approximately 39% as of December 31, 2025) in LSV, which is a sub-advisor in the Funds and MAS. To mitigate this conflict of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable program and/or strategy offering. Additionally, to the extent LSV is managing SEI Fund assets, it is subject to the same Board of Trustees approval process as non-affiliated sub-advisors and the affiliation is disclosed in the SEI Fund prospectuses. SIMC also hires sub-advisors for its investment products who may also be investment advisors/sub-advisors to other investment products offered by SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Therefore, SIMC has an incentive to recommend a firm for sub-advisory services for its investment products because they are also providing services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. To address this conflict, SIMC conducts the same due diligence on all sub-advisors regardless of whether they provide other services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Additionally, some of the sub-advisors that SIMC selects for its Funds may also be customers of other SEI products (e.g., technology) for which SIMC’s affiliates may be compensated, which could influence SIMC’s decisions when recommending or retaining sub-advisors. To mitigate these conflicts of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEI program and/or strategy offering. Also, potential conflicts identified are raised to the Board of Trustees of the SEI Funds or to SIMC Compliance prior to the sub-advisor being hired by SIMC. Investment Products SIMC not only provides investment management and advisory services to individuals and institutions, it also serves as the investment advisor to its investment products, including the SEI Funds (including subsidiaries of such Funds), SEI ETFs, SEI Interval Fund, SEI Alternative Funds, and collective investment funds (which is offered to clients through a separate market unit). Additionally, SIMC is the sponsor to, and the advisor of, managed accounts, including MAS. SIMC may invest its Clients into these products. Therefore, the Client may pay SIMC investment advisory fees which are agreed to in the Client’s investment advisory agreement, and pay SIMC investment advisory fees through the underlying investment products. However, SIMC generally, and to the extent required by ERISA and other applicable law, will offset or credit any advisory fees earned by SIMC with respect to a Client’s investment in an underlying investment product against that Client’s account level fee. SEI Funds Other affiliates of SIMC provide various services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (including subsidiaries of such Funds), for which they receive compensation. Specifically, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SGFS”) serves as administrator, and SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”), serves as the distributor of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs, and the SEI Alternative Funds. SEI Institutional Transfer Agent, Inc. (“SITA”) serves as the transfer agent for most SEI Funds. SIDCO and SPTC also provide shareholder services with respect to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. SIMC, SGFS, SITA, SIDCO and SPTC receive fees from the SEI Funds determined as a percentage of the SEI Fund's total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a client invests in the SEI Funds, SIMC’s affiliates benefit from the investment in 32  the SEI Funds. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for a Client, if applicable, such investments will be allocated in a manner which SIMC determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances in respect to all of its other clients. Some SEI Funds are “funds-of-funds,” meaning that an SEI Fund will invest in underlying funds, which in most cases will be other SEI Funds. When an SEI Fund invests in underlying SEI Funds, SIMC is advisor to both the fund-of-funds and the underlying SEI Funds and is paid an advisory fee by both Funds. As a result, SIMC could select those underlying SEI Funds that pay higher advisory fees to SIMC. To mitigate this risk, the SEI Funds are overseen by the SEI Funds’ Board of Trustees, which ensures that SIMC does not factor in the level of fees in its decision in the allocation of underlying SEI Funds in the fund-of- funds. SEI Alternative Funds Affiliates of SIMC (SEI Funds, Inc. and SEI Investment Strategies, LLC) serve as the general partner or director to several of the SEI Alternative Funds. SEI Global Services, Inc. or SEI Investments Global (Cayman) Limited also serves as administrator and transfer agent to certain SEI Alternative Funds. Collective Trust Funds SEI Trust Company (”STC”), a Pennsylvania chartered trust company, serves as trustee and investment manager to various collective trust funds in which SIMC invests certain client’s assets (to the extent they are eligible). SIMC also acts as an investment advisor to STC, and SITA as transfer agent, with respect to the various collective trust funds offered by STC. Non-U.S. Investors SIMC serves as investment advisor to proprietary Irish-regulated UCITS Funds (and other alternative funds), which are sold to non-US investors. SIMC also serves as sub-advisor to several proprietary Canadian-registered mutual funds to which SIMC’s affiliates serve as advisor. Affiliated Registered Investment Advisers – Stratos In December 2025, SEIC completed the first stage of its strategic investment in Stratos Wealth Holdings ("Stratos"), where SEIC owns 57.5% of the holding company that holds the equity of Stratos Wealth Advisors, LLC, Stratos Wealth Partners, Ltd. and their subsidiaries (collectively, the " Stratos-Affiliated RIAs"). As a result of this investment, SIMC and the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs are under common ownership. SIMC and Stratos-Affiliated RIAs each operate as a separate registered investment adviser with its own management, compliance program, and fiduciary obligations. Stratos-Affiliated RIAs may utilize SIMC managed strategies, models, programs and/or products available through IAS. In these arrangements, SIMC provides investment management or related services, while the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs remain responsible for the client relationship, including determining suitability and providing investment advice, as applicable. SIMC may negotiate fees with Stratos-Affiliated RIAs based on AUM, client fees, or such other arrangements as agreed to between SIMC and Stratos-Affiliated RIAs. Such fee arrangements will be disclosed as required by law or regulation. This common ownership structure creates conflicts of interest, including incentives to recommend strategies, models, programs and/or products that are affiliated with SIMC or otherwise increase its [compensation] or that of its affiliates. These conflicts are mitigated through the separation of supervisory and advisory responsibilities among the Stratos-Affiliated RIAs and SIMC. Additional information regarding the Stratos-Affiliated RIA’s business practices, services, and conflicts is provided in their respective Form ADV brochures. Affiliated Custodian Clients typically choose to custody their accounts at SIMC’s affiliate, SPTC, a limited purpose federal savings association. SPTC charges the client a fee for these services. SPTC may also provide trust, custody and/or record-keeping services to SIMC’s clients, including some of the Pooled Investment Vehicles. 33  SPTC’s services may be provided at a discount or without additional client charge. In connection with providing shareholder services to clients invested in the SEI Funds, SPTC receives a shareholder service fee from the SEI Funds for providing those services. If a client custodies assets at SPTC, SPTC provides a cash sweep service into an SEI money market mutual fund, and if elected, SIMC will earn additional fees, as an advisor to the SEI money market fund. Please see Item 5 for additional information on fees. Affiliated Broker-Dealer SIMC or sub-advisors will execute certain brokerage transactions using SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO and, as noted in the Wrap Brochure. SIDCO also receives shareholder service, administration service and/or distribution fees from the SEI Funds, portions of which are paid by SIDCO to affiliates or third parties that provide such services. SIDCO also receives distribution or creation unit servicer fees from certain third-party ETFs and their sponsors when providing services to those firms under services agreements between SIDCO and such firms. A conflict of interest exists because SIDCO may earns additional fees to the extent that such ETFs are purchased by an SEI Fund or as part of MAS. SIMC anticipates that any resultant increase in fees payable to SIDCO would be immaterial. In addition, certain SIMC employees are also registered representatives of SIDCO. Such individuals do not receive additional compensation by virtue of their role with SIDCO. See Items 4 and 12 for additional information on SIMC’s use of broker-dealers, including SIDCO. Commodity Pool Operator and SWAP Firm SIMC is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) and SWAP firm with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and certain SIMC employees are registered with the CFTC as Principals and/or Associated Persons. 34  Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics and Personal Trading When SIMC employees have access to nonpublic information, conflicts may arise between the interests of the employee and those of a client. For example, a SIMC employee could gain information on the purchase or sale of securities by a SIMC client, or portfolio holdings information for a particular client. The SIMC employee could use this information to take advantage of available investment opportunities, take an investment opportunity from a client for the employee’s own portfolio, or front-run (which occurs when an employee trades in his or her personal account before making client transactions). As a fiduciary, SIMC owes a duty of loyalty to clients, which requires that a SIMC employee must always place the interests of clients first and foremost and shall not take inappropriate advantage of his/her position. Thus SIMC personnel must conduct themselves and their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not create conflicts with the firm. SIMC has adopted a Code of Ethics to reinforce to its employees SIMC’s principles of integrity and ethics, and to enforce compliance with applicable regulations and best practices. Under the SIMC Code of Ethics, SIMC employees that are characterized as Access Persons and their family members with whom they reside must disclose personal securities holdings and personal securities transactions. Access Persons are SIMC employees that have access to non-public information regarding any client’s purchase or sale of securities or who are involved in making, or have non-public access to, securities recommendations to clients. Access Persons are also subject to certain trade pre-clearance and reporting standards for their personal securities transactions. Additionally, certain Access Persons may not purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any “Covered Security” (which is defined in the Code of Ethics) within 24 hours before or after the time that the same Covered Security is being purchased or sold in any SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Some Access Persons may not purchase or sell such securities within seven days of a transaction for a SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Certain Access Persons also may not profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of a Covered Security within 60 days of acquiring or disposing of beneficial ownership of that Covered Security. Finally, Access Persons may not acquire securities as part of an initial public offering or a private placement transaction without the prior consent of SIMC Compliance. The Code of Ethics also includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information and market timing, and also incorporates SEIC’s insider trading policy by reference. All supervised persons at SIMC are trained on the Code of Ethics and must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics upon hire and on an annual basis. SIMC anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which SIMC has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which SIMC, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position or interest. SIMC’s employees and persons associated with SIMC are required to follow SIMC’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of SIMC and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for SIMC’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of SIMC will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is monitored under the Code of Ethics, to seek to prevent conflicts of interest between SIMC and its clients. Clients and prospects may request a copy of SIMC’s Code of Ethics by e-mailing SIMCCompliance@seic.com or sending a request to: SEI Investments Management Corporation, Attn: SIMC Compliance, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456. 35  Participation or Interest in Client Transactions (Side-by-Side Management) As explained above, among its other recommendations, SIMC recommends to its Clients to invest in Pooled Investment Vehicles to which SIMC also serves as investment advisor and its affiliates may provide other services when SIMC believes such recommendation is appropriate for the Client. For example, SIMC, as investment manager to a Client, may recommend that they invest in the SEI Funds, SEI’s ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds, SEI Interval Funds or a managed account, where SIMC also serves as investment advisor and receives a fee for those services. This creates a conflict of interest whereby SIMC has a financial incentive to recommend an unsuitable SIMC investment product to a SIMC client in order for SIMC and its affiliates to receive additional fees. SIMC discloses its fees in the offering documents for each Pooled Investment Vehicle. In addition, when SIMC and/or its affiliates have a material pecuniary interest in either the SEI Funds, SEI Interval Funds or SEI Alternative Funds (“Interested Vehicle”), a conflict of interest may exist whereby SIMC has an additional financial incentive to ensure that such Interested Vehicle performs well to increase its return on investment. Furthermore, SIMC and its portfolio managers have an incentive to allocate investment opportunities to such Interested Vehicle in a way that favors SIMC and its affiliates over the interest of its clients and other investors. Notwithstanding these conflicts of interest, SIMC may aggregate transactions of an Interested Vehicle with other SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles as long as SIMC has determined pursuant to its allocation procedures that participation by such SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles is fair and equitable. Further, SIMC may aggregate transactions for an Interested Vehicle and an SEI Fund involving private placement securities as long as the only negotiated term for such private placement securities is price. SIMC has adopted trade aggregation procedures (“Aggregation Procedures”) designed to ensure that aggregated transactions are made in a manner that is fair and equitable to, and in the best interests of, the SEI Fund and any other participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles. The Aggregation Procedures require the portfolio manager of each participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicle to review the Vehicle's investment objectives, investment restrictions, cash position, need for liquidity, sector concentration, and other objective criteria and to determine whether a purchase or sale of a private placement security is an appropriate transaction. The Aggregation Procedures require that each participating SEI Pooled Investment Vehicle receive individualized investment advice and treatment. The portfolio manager will document how private placement securities or proceeds from an aggregated sale of such securities will be allocated among participating Vehicles (“Allocation Statement”). If there is a sufficient amount of private placement securities, in the case of a purchase, or proceeds, in the case of a sale, to satisfy all participants, the securities or proceeds will be allocated among the participants as documented by the portfolio manager. If there is an insufficient amount of private placement securities or sale proceeds to satisfy all participants, the securities or proceeds will be allocated pro rata, based on the allocation that each of the participants would have received if there was a sufficient amount of securities or proceeds and such distribution of securities or proceeds may only be allocated on a basis different from that specified in the Allocation Statement if all participants receive fair and equitable treatment. SIMC and its affiliates in some instances advise one client or take actions for a client, for itself, for its affiliates, or for their related persons that are different from the advice given or actions taken for other clients. SIMC, its affiliates, and their related persons are not obligated to buy or sell for a client any investment that they may buy, sell, or recommend for any other client or for their own accounts. Persons associated with SIMC or its affiliates have investments in the SEI Funds. It is SIMC’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal securities transactions for client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where SIMC, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliate (i.e., SIDCO), buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. In limited circumstances, SIMC affects cross-transactions in which SIMC effects transactions between two of its managed client accounts (i.e., arranging for the clients' securities trades by "crossing" these trades when SIMC believes that such transactions are beneficial to its clients). To the extent permitted by law, 36  SIDCO may act as a broker, and may receive a commission. The client may revoke SIMC's cross-transaction authority at any time upon written notice to SIMC. 37  Item 12 – Brokerage Practices Broker Selection SIMC has a duty to seek best execution of the transactions executed by SIMC for its clients’ accounts. Although commission rates are an important consideration in determining whether “best execution” is being obtained, they are not determinative, as many other factors also are relevant in determining whether SIMC has achieved the best result for clients under the circumstances. As the SEC has acknowledged, there is no precise definition for “best execution,” since it is a facts and circumstances determination. SIMC may consider numerous factors in arranging for the purchase and sale of clients’ portfolio securities. These include any legal restrictions, such as those imposed under the securities laws and ERISA, and any client-imposed restrictions. Within these constraints, SIMC shall employ or deal with members of securities exchanges and other brokers and dealers or banks as SIMC approves and that will, in the portfolio manager’s judgment, provide “best execution” (i.e., prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable under the prevailing market conditions) for a particular transaction for the client’s account. SIMC periodically evaluates the quality of these brokerage services as provided by various firms. In determining the abilities of a broker-dealer or bank to obtain best execution of portfolio transactions, SIMC will consider all relevant factors, including: • The execution capabilities the transactions require; • Electronic routing capabilities to underlying brokers; • The ability and willingness of the broker-dealer or bank to facilitate the accounts’ portfolio transactions by participating for its own account; • The importance to the account of speed, efficiency, and confidentiality; • The apparent familiarity of the broker-dealer or bank with sources from or to whom particular securities might be purchased or sold; • The reputation and perceived soundness of the broker-dealer or bank; and • Other matters relevant to the selection of a broker-dealer or bank for portfolio transactions for any account. SIMC will not seek in advance competitive bidding for the most favorable commission rate applicable to any particular portfolio transaction or select any broker-dealer or bank on the basis of its purported or “posted” commission rate structure. Certain types of trades, such as most fixed income securities transactions, do not involve the payment of a commission. Affiliated Brokerage SIMC and SIMC appointed sub-advisors use SIMC’ affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO, for various services for its clients, which are described below. Other than trading in the SEI Funds, MAS or other accounts where SIMC has investment discretion, it is the client’s decision whether to execute a particular securities transaction using SIDCO. SIMC discloses the use of its affiliated broker-dealer in the investment management agreement that the client signs with SIMC for services. By directing brokerage to SIDCO, SIMC may be unable to achieve most favorable execution of client transactions and this practice may cost clients more money. SEI Funds Generally, portfolio transactions in the SEI Funds are effected by sub-advisors pursuant to each sub- advisor’s own brokerage policies and practices. However, SIMC does affect trades in the SEI Funds in certain situations. SIMC, and sub-advisors electing to execute trades through SIDCO for the SEI Funds, subject to the duty to obtain best execution and to applicable law. Generally, under these provisions, SIDCO is permitted to receive and retain compensation for effecting portfolio transactions if 38  such compensation does not exceed “usual and customary” brokerage commissions. SIMC's brokerage discretion practices with respect to the SEI Funds are reviewed at least annually by the SEI Funds' Board of Trustees and in compliance with Section 17(e) (1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The following are examples of situations where portfolio trades in the SEI Funds may be executed through SIDCO. Manager Transitions SIMC executes transactions through SIDCO in connection with portfolio transitions that accompany SIMC’s reallocation of assets due to the hiring or termination of sub-advisors. Assets may be reallocated to existing sub-advisors. SIDCO serves as an introducing broker-dealer for these transactions, which means that SIDCO will introduce the transaction to one or more clearing brokers. SIDCO and the applicable clearing brokers will receive and retain compensation (i.e., commissions) for executing such transactions. Since SIDCO earns fees in connection with these transactions, SIMC has an incentive to change sub- advisors more frequently than necessary in order for its affiliate to earn additional fees. This risk is mitigated by SIMC’s robust manager due diligence process and oversight structure, and the fact that manager changes require approval by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Additionally, the use of SIDCO in manager transitions is reviewed by the SEI Funds Board of Trustees. Trading for Internally Managed Equity Portfolios In connection with internally managed equity portfolios, SIMC executes those trades either through third party brokers or through SIDCO as introducing broker. SIDCO routes these orders to its primary clearing firm for execution although SIDCO may route to other executing brokers available through SIDCO at SIMC’s discretion. As with the transition management trades, SIMC generally expects that SIDCO will serve as introducing broker on a substantial amount of such equity trades. There is an inherent conflict of interest in SIMC’s use of SIDCO for trading. SIMC may be motivated to pay a higher commission for trades involving SIDCO compared to a third party broker. SIMC is subject to its duty to seek to obtain best execution. Sub-Advisor Trading Through SIDCO Sub-advisors to certain SEI Funds may execute a portion of an SEI Fund’s portfolio transactions through SIDCO. These relationships may involve soft dollar trading or execution only arrangements. The commission rate is negotiated between the sub-advisor and SIDCO. SIMC neither encourages nor discourages sub-advisors from trading through SIDCO and does not take such trading into consideration in determining whether to recommend that a manager be hired or terminated. All such trading is, of course, subject to the sub-advisor’s duty to achieve best execution. Further, each sub-advisor that trades through SIDCO is required to report such trades on a quarterly basis to the Funds’ chief compliance officer. Client Transitions SIMC, in some instances, uses SIDCO to liquidate a client’s securities portfolio. SIMC may undertake such liquidations to make cash and/or in-kind securities investments in one or more of the SEI Funds. SIDCO serves as an introducing broker-dealer for these transactions, which means that SIDCO will introduce the transaction to one or more clearing brokers. SIDCO and the applicable clearing brokers will receive and retain compensation (i.e., commissions) for executing such transactions. Information regarding the relationship between SIMC and SIDCO are disclosed to the client in the investment management agreement. In the case of clients subject to ERISA, SIMC’s use of SIDCO for transition services will be in accordance with applicable guidance from the U.S. Department of Labor. In order to comply with applicable law, the client is permitted to withdraw its consent to the use of SIDCO for client transactions by sending a written notice to SIMC. 39  Managed Account Solutions MAS (which is a “wrap fee program,” meaning the client pays one fee for investment advisory and brokerage services) is structured such that the equity managers in the program generally execute all trades in the Program using SIDCO, consistent with the equity manager’s duty to seek best execution. SIDCO will receive and retain compensation for this trading activity. In many cases, Model Managers (i.e., those managers that provide SIMC with their investment strategy model) in MAS will provide SIMC with the Portfolio Manager’s investment model for a particular investment strategy and SIMC will implement that model and execute all transactions allocated to that strategy. There may be instances where an equity manager responsible for trading its own investment strategy has determined not to execute certain orders through SIDCO, consistent with such manager’s duty to seek best execution. . Also, a significant percentage of trades in closed-end fund and master limited partnership strategies managed by Parametric are executed through third-party broker-dealers, on the basis that Parametric believes doing so results in the best combination of price and execution cost. Further, SIMC and the wrap fee program’s Trading Managers (i.e., managers trading the investment strategy directly) select and utilize brokers as required by their firm’s own policies and procedures. Portfolio Managers of fixed income strategies will generally execute trades through third-party broker-dealers. The SIMC fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) where SIMC or a Portfolio Manager executes transactions with broker-dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates. Any such execution charges will be separately charged to the client’s assets. SIMC’s internal governance structure oversees SIMC’s use of SIDCO in the wrap fee program to ensure that its use of SIDCO for the wrap fee program is suitable. Please refer to the Wrap Brochure for information on brokerage services applicable to the assets managed through MAS. Soft Dollar Practices SIMC does not intend to cause an account to pay more in commissions in return for research products and/or services provided to SIMC. However, brokers with which SIMC trades may provide proprietary research materials or technology to SIMC. While SIMC does not necessarily consider receipt of such information, or access to such technology, to constitute soft dollar arrangements, it does present a conflict of interest for SIMC in connection with the selection of brokers for the execution of trades to the extent that SIMC considers such research or technology to be valuable. Sub-advisors to the SEI Funds may engage in soft dollar transactions pursuant to the sub-advisors’ own policies and procedures. Client Referrals SIMC does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker-dealers, whether SIMC or a related person receives client referrals from a broker-dealer or third-party and the conflicts this creates. Directed Brokerage In limited circumstances, a client may direct SIMC to use a particular broker-dealer (subject to SIMC’s right to decline and/or terminate the engagement) to execute some or all transactions for the client’s account. In such event, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with that broker-dealer, and SIMC will not seek better execution services or prices from other broker-dealers or be able to “batch” the client’s transactions for execution through other broker-dealers with orders for other accounts managed by SIMC. As a result, client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Trade Aggregation SIMC is permitted to aggregate or “batch” orders placed at the same time for the accounts of two or more clients if it is in the best interests of its clients. By batching trade orders, SIMC may obtain more favorable executions and net prices for the combined order, and ensure that no participating client is 40  favored over any other client. Typically, SIMC will affect block orders for the purchase and sale for the same security for client accounts to facilitate best execution and to reduce transaction costs. When an aggregated order is filled in its entirety, each participating client account generally will receive the block price obtained on all such purchases or sales with respect to such order. The portfolio manager for each account must determine that the purchase or sale of the particular security involved is appropriate for the client and consistent with the client’s investment objectives and with any investment guidelines or restrictions applicable to the client’s account. The portfolio manager for each account must reasonably believe that the block trading will benefit, and will enable SIMC to seek best execution for each client participating in the block order. This requires a reasonable good faith judgment at the time the order is placed for execution. 41  Item 13 – Review of Accounts While quarterly performance reports are made available to clients on the Client Portal, PWM provides to Clients, at least annually, a written review of their accounts and a confirmation of their objectives and the suitability of their overall portfolio in relation to those objectives. At any time when a Client’s circumstances change, or if market conditions warrant, PWM will review the Client’s investment portfolios and make changes where appropriate. 42  Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation SIMC and its affiliates receive fees from the SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles, which are determined as a percentage of the Pooled Investment Vehicles total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a client invest in the Pooled Investment Vehicles, SIMC and its affiliates benefit from investment in the SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles. Please see Items 4 and 12 for additional information. Solicitation Arrangements SIMC enters into solicitation arrangements with third parties who will receive a solicitation fee from SIMC for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. Additionally, SIMC compensates SEIC employees who will receive a fee for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. In all cases these solicitation arrangements are designed and implemented in a manner to comply with Investment Adviser Act Rule 206(4)-1 and applicable state laws. As required, clients will be provided with copies of Part 2 of SIMC's Form ADV, separate disclosure of the nature of the solicitation or referral arrangement (including compensation features) applicable to the client being referred, and any other document required to be provided under applicable state law. 43  Item 15 – Custody In most cases, SPTC, an affiliate of SIMC, serves as custodian for SIMC clients (with the exception of the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs and some of SIMC’s other Pooled Investment Vehicles). As custodian, SPTC will send periodic account statements directly to clients. Additionally, SPTC provides SIMC clients with other account and reporting services, including quarterly performance reports, year-end tax reports and online account access. SPTC charges a fee for its services. SIMC clients whose assets are custodied with SPTC are encouraged to carefully review the account statements they receive from SPTC. In addition, SIMC clients are urged to compare any statements received from SIMC to the statements received from SPTC (or other third-party custodian). Comparing statements will allow clients to determine whether account transactions, including deductions to pay advisory fees, are accurate. As a result of its affiliation with the general partner or director to the SEI Alternative Funds, SIMC is deemed to have custody of the SEI Alternative Funds’ assets. Pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, SIMC maintains compliance by ensuring that each SEI Alternative Fund: • is audited on an annual basis by an independent accountant that is registered with, and subject to regular inspection by, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in accordance with its rules. • distributes audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to all limited partners (or members or other beneficial owners) within the distribution timeframes set forth in Rule 206(4)-2 specific to the type of private fund. SIMC does not maintain custody of certain legacy privately placed (alternative) investments held by clients but may provide certain reporting services on such investments. In these cases, clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains clients’ investment assets or receive annual audited financial statements from the private fund sponsor. SIMC urges Clients to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that SIMC may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. ‑ ‑ party In limited instances, PWM may recommend that certain Client assets be custodied with a third custodian, including Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). Schwab may be used where specific investment strategies, products, or services are not available through SPTC or where SIMC determines that use of a third party custodian is otherwise appropriate to support a Client’s investment objectives. In such cases, SIMC continues to act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the Client’s assets and remains responsible for the ongoing suitability of investments and oversight of the account. Assets custodied with Schwab are subject to Schwab’s custody, brokerage, and other applicable fees and terms, which are separate from SIMC’s advisory fees. Clients will receive account statements directly from Schwab for assets held at Schwab and are encouraged to review and compare those statements to any reports provided by SIMC. 44  Item 16 – Investment Discretion SIMC usually receives discretionary authority from the Client at the outset of an advisory relationship. In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular Client account. When managing PWM Client assets, SIMC observes the investment policies, known limitations and known restrictions of the Clients for which it advises. Although SIMC retains investment discretion over PWM Client’s investment accounts, the Client retains absolute discretion over all implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from SIMC. SIMC also maintains discretionary authority (1) as investment advisor to the Pooled Investment Vehicles; (2) to determine the re-balancing allocation of a Client's assets among the individual SEI Funds or other Pooled Investment Vehicles (no commissions are incurred on these transactions); (3) in certain circumstances, to dispose of a Client's securities in order to raise cash to purchase SEI Funds, liquidate the account or invest in other Pooled Investment Vehicles; ; and (4) for purchase and sale of individual securities and (5) for the managed account and MAS. 45  Item 17 – Voting Client Securities SIMC has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that SIMC votes proxies in the best interest of its clients. SIMC has retained a third-party proxy voting service provider (the “Service”), to vote proxies with respect to applicable clients in accordance with approved guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and may deviate from voting in accordance with the Guidelines in certain limited exception scenarios (see below). SIMC also has a proxy voting committee (the “Committee”), comprised of SIMC employees, which approves the proxy voting guidelines or approves how SIMC should vote in certain scenarios. So long as the Service votes proxies in accordance with the Guidelines, SIMC maintains that there is an appropriate presumption that the manner in which SIMC voted was not influenced by, and did not result from, a conflict of interest. In addition to retaining the Service, SIMC has also engaged a separate third- party vendor to assist with company engagement services (the “Engagement Service”). The Engagement Service strives to help investors manage reputational risk and increase corporate accountability through proactive, professional and constructive engagement. As a result of this process, the Engagement Service will at times provide to SIMC recommendations that may conflict with the Guidelines (see below for more detail). SIMC retains the authority to override the Service’s recommendation, in certain/limited scenarios, and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Service’s recommendation. The exercise of such right could implicate a conflict of interest. As a result, SIMC may not overrule the Service’s recommendation with respect to a proxy unless the following steps are taken: a. The Committee meets to consider the proposal to overrule the Service’s recommendation. b. The Committee determines whether SIMC has a conflict of interest with respect to the issuer that is the subject of the proxy. If the Committee determines that SIMC has a conflict of interest, the Committee then determines whether the conflict is “material” to any specific proposal included within the proxy. If not, then SIMC can vote the proxy as determined by the Committee. c. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC has a material conflict of interest, SIMC may vote a proxy regarding that proposal in any of the following manners: 1. Obtain Client Consent or Direction – If the Committee approves the proposal to overrule the recommendation of the Service, SIMC must fully disclose to each client holding the security at issue the nature of the conflict, and obtain the client’s consent to how SIMC will vote on the proposal (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client as to how the proxy on the proposal should be voted). 2. Use Recommendation of the Service – Vote in accordance with the Service’s recommendation. d. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC does not have a material conflict of interest, the Committee may overrule the Service’s recommendation if the Committee reasonably determines that doing so is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients. If the Committee decides to overrule the Service’s recommendation, the Committee will maintain a written record setting forth the basis of the Committee’s decision. Notwithstanding these policies and procedures, actual proxy voting decisions of SIMC may have the effect of favoring the interests of other clients or businesses of SIMC and/or its affiliates, provided that SIMC believes such voting decisions to be in accordance with its fiduciary obligations. In some cases, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients to abstain from voting certain proxies. SIMC will abstain from voting in the event any of the following conditions are met with regard to a proxy proposal: 46  • Neither the Guidelines nor specific client instructions cover an issue; • The Service does not make a recommendation on the issue; • In circumstances where, in SIMC’s judgment, the costs of voting the proxy exceed the expected benefits to clients; Share blocking; • • The Committee is unable to convene on a proxy proposal to make a determination as to what would be in the client’s best interest; and • Proxies in foreign jurisdictions where the requirements necessary to vote are not practical and create an administrative hurdle that SIMC is unable to clear in the required (usually limited) time frame. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting mutual fund proxies for any and all mutual funds maintained in client portfolios. With respect to proxies of an affiliated investment company or series thereof (e.g., the SEI U.S. mutual funds) SIMC will vote such proxies in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders of the investment company or series thereof (i.e., “echo vote” or “mirror vote”). Client Directed Votes. SIMC clients who have delegated voting responsibility to SIMC with respect to their account may from time to time contact their client representative if they would like to direct SIMC to vote in a particular solicitation. SIMC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to vote according to the client’s request in these circumstances, and cannot provide assurances that such voting requests will be implemented clients may only direct votes with respect to securities held directly by the client. The client may not direct votes for securities held by Pooled Investment Vehicle unless otherwise disclosed in such products prospectus or offering documents. This does not apply to the SEI Fund shares that are proportionally voted pursuant to the SEI Institutional Investments Trust Vote Choice Program. The Vote Choice Program allows, subject to the terms of the Program, a shareholder of an eligible Fund to direct the Fund to vote their proportionate share interest in accordance with the shareholder’s selected third- party proxy voting policy. As noted above, SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendations in certain scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Guidelines. In all such cases, this requires the Committee to rule out any material conflict (as noted above) prior to overriding the Guidelines. Areas where SIMC may consider overriding the Guidelines include: • Requests by third-party sub-advisers within the SEI U.S. Pooled Investment Vehicles to direct certain votes; and • Recommendations by the Engagement Service. Clients may obtain a copy of SIMC’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request. Clients may also obtain information from SIMC about how SIMC voted any proxies on behalf of their account(s) by either referring to Form N-PX (for SEI Funds) or by contacting your SEI client representative. Certain SIMC clients have either retained the ability to vote proxies with respect to their account, or have delegated that proxy voting authority to a third-party selected by the client. In those circumstances, SIMC is not responsible for voting proxies in the account or for overseeing the voting of such proxies by the client or its designated agent. With respect to those clients for which SIMC does not conduct proxy voting, clients should work with their custodians to ensure they receive their proxies and other solicitations for securities held in their account. Clients may contact their client service representative if they have a question on particular 47  proxy voting matters or solicitations. 48  Item 18 – Financial Information Registered investment advisors are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about SIMC’s financial condition. SIMC has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 49

SIMC also serves as the investment advisor to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including mutual funds, ETFs, exchanged traded funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, alternative funds, collective investment trusts and offshore investment funds (together, the “Pooled Investment Vehicles”). This Brochure discusses SIMC’s Managed Account Solutions (“MAS”), one component of the larger IAS solution set made available only to Clients (as defined in Item 5) of Independent Advisors working with IAS. It does not speak to any other wealth management services available through IAS. A description of other SIMC advisory services made available to Independent Advisors for use with their Clients is set forth in SIMC’s Form ADV Part 2A for the IAS business unit. Program Summary MAS is a wrap fee program available for Independent Advisors to use with their Clients. In order to invest in MAS, Clients enter into a tri-party investment management agreement (“Managed Account Agreement”) with SIMC and their Independent Advisor. This agreement explains each party’s responsibilities and provides for the management of Client assets allocated to MAS in accordance with the terms of the Managed Account Agreement. Through this agreement the Client appoints their Independent Advisor as their investment advisor to assist the Client in selecting an appropriate investment strategy for their portfolio. The Client appoints SIMC to manage the assets in each portfolio in accordance with the strategy recommended by the Independent Advisor and selected by the Client. As the wrap program sponsor SIMC charges Clients a bundled fee that includes advisory, brokerage and custody services. Clients invested in Distribution-Focused Strategies (“DFS”) available in MAS are also charged a separate administrative fee that is not part of the bundled fee as explained in the fees section (Item 5) below. MAS consists of distinct investment programs administered by SIMC, each program encompassing various investment strategies available for use by Independent Advisors with their Clients. The two programs currently available under MAS are: (1) our “Individual Manager Strategies” which are individual investment strategies (or model investment portfolios) constructed by third party investment managers selected and overseen by SIMC (“Portfolio Managers”) or, in certain cases, constructed and directly managed by SIMC, covering a broad spectrum of investment styles; and (2) our ”Models-Based Strategies” consisting of investment strategy models managed directly by SIMC comprised of either (i) SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles, (ii) third party exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and/or SEI ETFs, or (iii) third party branded investment strategies investing in families of third-party mutual funds or ETFs managed by well- established fund/ETF sponsors working with IAS to promote and distribute our MAS solutions. MAS, and the various programs available within MAS, are described in more detail below and further described in the Account Application a Client and their Independent Advisor complete in order to invest in the noted program. In this Brochure we collectively refer to the available programs under MAS as the “Available MAS Programs”. Important Information Applicable to all Available MAS Programs Within MAS SIMC develops a wide range of investment strategies seeking to achieve a range of investment goals and objectives across a broad risk spectrum (each, a “Managed Account Strategy” and collectively, “Managed Account Strategies”). Each Managed Account Strategy seeks to achieve particular investment goals as explained in the various program materials made available to Independent Advisors and their Clients. The Managed Account Strategies are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific Clients, but rather the program is designed to enable Independent Advisors to match their Clients 4  with a suitable Managed Account Strategy that is consistent with the Client’s investment goals and objectives. When investing Client assets in MAS, the Independent Advisor allocates its Client’s assets to one or more Managed Account Strategies, each strategy consisting of portfolios of separate securities managed by SIMC and/or selected Portfolio Managers. In all cases the Independent Advisor serves as the primary Client contact, is responsible for analyzing their Client’s current financial situation, return expectations, risk tolerance, time horizon, asset class preference and recommending an appropriate Managed Account Strategy. As part of this process the Independent Advisor is responsible for recommending and assisting the client in selecting from among the Available MAS Programs (e.g., recommending Models-Based Strategies, for instance), and then selecting an appropriate Managed Account Strategy for their Client from the available Managed Account Strategies within the selected program. The Independent Advisor may use tools made available by SIMC, including a proprietary investment proposal tool (“Proposal Tool”), to develop the appropriate asset allocation strategy and to select an appropriate Managed Account Strategy for the Client. As part of the services IAS also provides Independent Advisors with assistance in developing Client investment proposals using the Available MAS Programs. However, the Independent Advisor is responsible for reviewing accounts with Clients and determining a Client’s initial and ongoing suitability to invest in MAS, including the suitability of the particular Available MAS Program, the selected Managed Account Strategy, its investment strategy and asset allocations selected for the Client. The Independent Advisor is also responsible for meeting with Clients at least annually to determine any material changes to the Client’s financial circumstances or investment objectives that may affect the manner in which such Client’s assets are invested. SIMC is responsible for managing only those assets that the Client allocates to the specified Managed Account Strategies in accordance with the investment strategies selected. Additionally, SIMC calculates the client’s risk tolerance upon account opening, and will contact the Independent Advisor for confirmation that the investment strategy for the Client is suitable in light of the Client’s current investment objectives and risk tolerance. SIMC will rely on Client information submitted by the Client’s Independent Advisor annually, or more frequently if the Client changes the account’s investment strategy, to determine whether the Managed Account Strategy selected for the account is still suitable for the Client’s investment objectives. Once invested in MAS, SIMC will make available to the Independent Advisor various investment program materials in connection with the Independent Advisor’s on-going management of Client assets invested in MAS. As these materials are designed to assist the Independent Advisor in managing Client assets, SIMC does not consider the materials and the Independent Advisor’s use of them with existing Clients as advertisements, as defined in SEC rules. A Client may authorize his or her Independent Advisor to instruct SIMC to provide ad-hoc tax loss harvesting in the Managed Account Strategy by substituting appropriate securities, generally broad based exchange traded funds, to achieve the tax benefits. SIMC will tax loss harvest up to the amount authorized by the Client to the extent the tax savings may be reasonably achieved while still maintaining the selected strategy. Ad-hoc tax loss harvesting can cause a variance in the performance of the selected strategy. 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, as “vendors” to provide the selected screens. Each vendor can vary materially 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, Clients can expect that the vendors’ screens will 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. SIMC manages accounts invested in Managed Account Strategies (i.e., “wrap fee accounts”) in the same manner that it manages non-wrap fee accounts with the same or similar investment strategies. SIMC will receive the wrap fee for its services and will compensate its affiliated service providers providing services 5  to Clients within MAS (e.g., custodial and brokerage services). Participation in MAS may cost the Client more or less than if the Client paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services. In addition, the fees may be higher or lower than that charged by other sponsors of comparable wrap fee programs. However, as the Independent Advisor is ultimately responsible for selecting the use of SIMC and MAS, SIMC believes its incentive to favor MAS and the resulting conflicts of interest are mitigated by the Independent Advisor’s fiduciary responsibilities to its Clients. The degree of such mitigation may be affected if the Independent Advisor does not have access to SIMC’s non-wrap fee advisory programs. Clients should speak with their Independent Advisors regarding whether they have access to SIMC non- wrap fee advisory programs. Available MAS Program – Important Information about Individual Manager Strategies and Manager Strategy Solutions When selecting Individual Manager Strategies, Clients select SIMC to manage individual portfolios of stocks, bonds and other assets within specific investment strategy categories. SIMC generally hires third- party Portfolio Managers to manage the specific Individual Manager Strategies either directly or through the Portfolio Manager providing SIMC with its investment model portfolio for the applicable Individual Manager Strategy with SIMC then implementing the Portfolio Manager’s investment model. Please see Item 6 for additional information on SIMC’s manager selection process. As noted in program materials made available to Independent Advisors and Clients, SIMC directly manages certain Individual Manager Strategies. When a Client has invested in multiple Individual Manager Strategies SIMC offers a feature called tax management in which SIMC, at the direction of the Independent Advisor, appoints or acts as an overlay manager (“Overlay Manager”) for the equity portion of the Independent Advisor’s Client’s assets. The various equity Portfolio Managers for the Client’s portfolio provide buy/sell lists (i.e., model portfolios) to the Overlay Manager, which is then responsible for executing the transactions across the account within certain performance parameters and security weighting variances from the underlying model portfolios, with the goal of increased coordination across the equity portion of the account, increased tax efficiency and minimization of wash sales. In certain cases, at the Independent Advisor’s request, SIMC will apply tax management to Individual Manager Strategies. Neither the Overlay Manager nor SIMC offers tax advice; Clients should consult with their tax advisors as to the suitability of the tax management feature for their accounts. With respect to SIMC’s or an Overlay Manager’s implementation of a model portfolio, the Client’s portfolio is subject to the risk that its performance may deviate from the performance of similarly managed accounts (including within MAS) and other proprietary or client accounts over which the Portfolio Manager or SIMC retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). The Overlay Manager’s variation from the Portfolio Manager’s model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including underperformance. In addition, a Portfolio Manager may implement its model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to the Overlay Manager. In these circumstances, trades placed by the Overlay Manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the Client’s portfolio receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the sub-advisor for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded. SEI Private Trust Company (“SPTC”), a limited purpose federal thrift and SIMC’s affiliate that custodies Client accounts invested in MAS, generally requires Clients to retain a minimum allocation to SPTC’s SEI Integrated Cash Program (“Integrated Cash Program”). As described in detail in Item 9, the Integrated Cash Program transfers or “sweeps” Clients’ cash held in their accounts into deposit accounts eligible for insurance by the FDIC (“FDIC Sweep”). Accordingly, a minimum of 1% of a Client’s portfolio invested in Individual Manager Strategies or Manager Strategy Solutions will be allocated to the Integrated Cash Program. This program results in financial benefits to SPTC and SIMC. Please see Item 9 for more information about SPTC, the Integrated Cash Program and the conflicts of interest inherent in the Integrated Cash Program. Additionally, Class F shares of the SEI Funds, including SEI money market funds, 6  and in some circumstances third-party mutual funds, will be used in Individual Manager Strategies and Manager Strategies Solutions for various reasons including to complete the allocation to the strategy (e.g., due to investment minimums) or, when Portfolio Managers allocate cash to a strategy in an amount more than 1% of the portfolio value. See Item 6 (Portfolio Manager Evaluation and Selection) for more information on Portfolio Manager cash management. This is true for strategies managed by third party Portfolio Managers and strategies managed directly by SIMC. Because SIMC is also the investment manager for Class F shares of the SEI Funds, SIMC earns additional advisory fees from the SEI Funds when Client assets are invested in such shares. While SIMC’s additional compensation creates an incentive to invest Client assets in Class F shares of the SEI Funds, the conflict is mitigated because Clients invested in Class F shares of SEI Funds, other than SEI money market funds, do not pay the wrap fee on assets allocated to such shares (but do still pay the internal fees associated with such shares) and the fees SIMC and SIMC’s affiliates earn from investments in SEI money market funds are rebated against the Client’s wrap fee. In addition, SIMC’s affiliates receive custodial, shareholder servicing, administrative fees from Clients’ investments in Class F shares of the SEI Funds and SPTC retains additional compensation in connection with the FDIC Sweep. SIMC’s affiliates would not typically receive these custodial, shareholder servicing, administrative or FDIC Sweep-related fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds (except in certain cases where SIMC’s affiliates have been separately hired by such funds to perform services (e.g., administrative) and in these cases SIMC’s affiliates will receive and retain fees earned for providing services to the third party funds). This creates an incentive for SIMC to favor Class F shares of SEI Funds and the Integrated Cash Program over direct investments in MAS. For temporary defensive or liquidity purposes during unusual economic or market conditions, SIMC and/or Portfolio Managers may (i) invest all or a portion of investor portfolios in cash, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and other short-term obligations that would not ordinarily be consistent with a portfolio’s strategy; and/or (ii) delay or suspend purchases and sales of securities. SIMC or a Portfolio Manager will only do so only if it believes that the risk of loss outweighs the opportunity for capital gains or higher income. During such time, a portfolio may not achieve its investment goal. Portfolio Manager Solutions - Custom HNW Portfolios SIMC Clients may select, with the Independent Advisor’s advice and recommendation, to invest in one or more of the available Custom High Net Worth Portfolios (“Custom HNW Portfolios”), a series of investment options available within our Individual Manager Strategies program. Each of the Custom HNW Portfolios have been developed and will be managed by the Custom HNW Portfolios’ Portfolio Manager based on model portfolio-level asset class ranges (e.g., large cap, small cap, etc.) established by SIMC for each Custom HNW Portfolio intended to meet the portfolio’s specified investment objectives. SIMC may revise the asset allocation ranges at any time if SIMC determines that such changes are consistent with the applicable Custom HNW Portfolio’s investment objective. While SIMC is normally responsible to oversee the securities selected by the Portfolio Manager responsible for a Managed Account Strategy to determine that the model portfolio remains consistent with the investment strategy over time, in connection with the Custom HNW Portfolios, SIMC does not retain this responsibility as the Portfolio Manager is solely responsible for selecting the individual securities that adhere to each Custom HNW Portfolios’ specified asset class ranges (and SIMC will not review this determination). This results from the fact that these portfolios may be customized by the Portfolio Manager based on each Client’s specific circumstances and Independent Advisors and their Clients select these strategies based on the Independent Advisors’ view of the Portfolio Manager’s ability to deliver highly customized Client portfolios. SIMC does not reduce its wrap fee charged on the Custom HMW Portfolios notwithstanding that the Portfolio Manager is taking on this responsibility. Once selected by the Independent Advisor and Client, the Portfolio Manager will manage Client’s assets in accordance with the selected Custom HNW Portfolio’s investment objectives, as selected by the Client and their Independent Advisor. 7  Individual Manager Strategies – SIMC Managed Strategies As specified in the applicable MAS program materials, SIMC constructs and directly manages certain Individual Manager Strategies instead of hiring Portfolio Managers to do so. The strategies SIMC manages directly include various fixed income strategies, index-replication strategies, and factor-based strategies. In certain cases, SIMC will, with the Independent Advisor’s review and approval, customize a fixed income portfolio for a Client based on the information provided to SIMC from the Client’s Independent Advisor. SIMC expects to continue to expand its directly managed strategy line up over time. Available MAS Program – Important Information about Models-Based Strategy SIMC makes available various “subprograms” within our Models-Based Strategies, generally falling into the following categories: (1) portfolios allocated solely to SEI Funds and/or SEI ETFs (the “SEI Asset Allocation Models”), (2) portfolios allocated to ETFs and, in certain cases, SEI ETFs, and (3) portfolios allocated to individual families of third party mutual funds/ETFs sponsored by well-known fund sponsors with established records managing retail assets through traditional pooled investment products (e.g., mutual funds and ETFs). In all cases, Models-Based Strategies include an allocation to the Integrated Cash Program (generally 1%) in order to meet SPTC’s sweep requirements for Client’s account held at SPTC, SIMC’s affiliated custodian. Please see Item 9 below for more information about SPTC, its custodial services and the Integrated Cash Program. SIMC does not recommend any specific subprogram to Clients, as a Client’s Independent Advisor selects the subprogram to use with the Client based on their Client’s requirements. In all cases SIMC: (1) makes available the models, developed and periodically updated by SIMC designed to achieve the model’s stated investment objective or goal based upon SIMC’s capital market assumptions and any other criteria that SIMC, in its sole discretion, determines is relevant; and (2) in its sole discretion, revises model percentage asset allocations among the underlying individual funds (or other assets) underlying an existing model and, thereby, actively manages client assets assigned to the model by the Independent Advisor. SIMC makes available many of the same investment models used in the Models-Based Strategies in MAS accounts to Independent Advisors for use with their Clients outside of this wrap program (and not subject to the wrap fee). In such cases, SIMC does not provide advisory services to Clients directly but makes model portfolios available to Independent Advisors. Certain SIMC services available with MAS (e.g., tax loss harvesting and security screening) are not available when SIMC makes investment models available to Independent Advisors outside of MAS. Because SIMC and its affiliates earn a wrap account fee when a Client invests in MAS, participation in the Model-Based Strategies of MAS may cost the Client more or less than if the Client invested in the same or similar investment model outside of the wrap program. However, as the Independent Advisor is ultimately responsible for selecting the use of MAS or SEI’s models programs available outside of MAS, SIMC believes its incentive to favor MAS and the resulting conflicts of interest are mitigated by the Independent Advisor’s fiduciary responsibilities to its Clients. The degree of such mitigation may be affected if the Independent Advisor does not have access to SIMC’s non-wrap fee advisory programs. Clients should speak with their Independent Advisors regarding whether they have access to SIMC non-wrap fee advisory programs. Models-Based Strategies – SEI Asset Allocation Models In the case of SEI Fund and/or SEI ETF models only (referred to in various program materials and this Brochure’s fee schedule as “SEI’s Asset Allocation Models”), SIMC, in its role as the investment advisor to each of the SEI Funds included in a model, selects sub-advisors to those funds in accordance with SIMC’s responsibilities to each such fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and SIMC’s advisory agreement with each such mutual fund. And, SIMC directly manages the SEI ETFs used within these models. When selecting a model allocated to ETFs or third party mutual funds, SIMC does not have this additional responsibility. Since a large portion of the assets in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs may be comprised of Clients invested in SEI Funds and SEI ETFs through MAS (and similar models offered by SIMC outside of MAS), model reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. While reallocations are intended to benefit Clients that invest in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs through such models, they could, in certain cases, have a detrimental effect on the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. Such detrimental effects could include: transaction costs, capital gains 8  and other expenses resulting from an increase in portfolio turnover; and disruptions to the portfolio management strategy, such as foregone investment opportunities or the inopportune sale of securities to facilitate redemption. Given these potential detrimental effects, Clients are encouraged to consult with their Independent Advisor before investing in SEI Funds and SEI ETFs to consider the suitability of such funds in their accounts (e.g., whether it would be suitable to invest in SEI Funds through a non- qualified account that would incur capital gains taxes from an increase in portfolio turnover). As SIMC is the investment advisor to each of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs and SIMC’s affiliates provide other services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (e.g., distributor, fund administrator, shareholder services, etc.), SIMC and its affiliates earn fees for providing services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs when clients invest in such funds through MAS. In order to address the conflict of interest this presents, SIMC does not charge the MAS wrap fee on the SEI Asset Allocation Models, but instead is compensated through the fees earned with the SEI Funds. See Item 6 below for more information. SIMC also believes our conflicts of interest in using SEI Asset Allocation models is mitigated because the Independent Advisor, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting use of the SEI Fund Models with its Clients. Models-Based Strategies – Third Party Fund Families In this program, Independent Advisors and their Clients desire to use SIMC’s asset allocation advice implemented through branded investment models allocated to funds of well-known mutual fund/ETF sponsors with established records managing retail assets through traditional pooled investment products (e.g., mutual funds and ETFs). SIMC does not research the entire market of available mutual funds/ETFs when selecting third party funds for use in this “Third Party Funds” program. Instead, IAS develops a strategic business relationship with the sponsors of a limited number of third party mutual fund/ETF families that meet specific business and investment criteria established by IAS and SIMC and develops branded investment models promoting the third party’s investment brand. These business criteria include willingness to engage in joint marketing, sales support, event support and other mutually beneficial marketing and sales arrangements with SEI. As a result, SIMC has a conflict of interest when making these funds available because SIMC relies on these firms to help market and support IAS solutions. Another criteria SIMC takes into consideration is whether the mutual fund/ETF families are well established and well known “brands” in the Independent Advisor channel. This reliance on these firms creates a disincentive for SIMC to discontinue the availability of the third party funds they sponsor, even if their funds do not compare favorably to other available funds on objective factors such as performance or cost. Investment criteria SIMC uses to select third party funds varies, as will the percent of a model’s allocation to third party funds. In some cases SIMC selects mutual fund/ETF sponsors whose fund line-up spans from a majority of to a full range of asset classes necessary to meet SIMC’s range of model asset allocations. In other cases, the third party fund sponsor has a more limited range of funds that SIMC uses to populate a model, which may be as low as 10% of a model’s total investment allocation. In those cases where the mutual fund/ETF sponsor does not have a mutual fund or ETF meeting SIMC’s requirements for a specific asset class within a model strategy, SIMC will select SEI ETFs or other third party ETFs or mutual funds to complete a Third Party Fund program strategy. SIMC will first determine if a SEI ETF meets the asset class requirement and, if so, will use the SEI ETF as part of the model. This determination is based on the SEI ETF’s stated investment strategy and its alignment to the asset class requirements as determined in SIMC’s discretion. If no such SEI ETF fits the necessary asset class requirement, SEI will instead select from third party ETFs and mutual funds to complete the model allocation. The business and other criteria listed in the preceding paragraph are the primary factors SIMC takes into consideration when selecting any third party fund sponsor for participation in the Third Party Funds program. Moreover, there are other business-related criteria that SIMC takes into consideration. In particular, SIMC and its affiliates provide a wide range of financial services to institutional firms, including through the provision of technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn- key pooled product solutions and other financial services unrelated to the IAS offering. The revenue SIMC and its affiliates earn from these relationships often is significant. When selecting mutual fund/ETF sponsors for inclusion in the Third Party Fund program, SIMC will take these other SEI relationships into account and, accordingly, IAS may select a mutual fund/ETF sponsor that is a client of SEI for other purposes and we have a conflict of interest when doing so. We mitigate this conflict through the requirement that in all cases the firm meet our above noted criteria at the time of initial inclusion in the 9  program and also on an ongoing basis. In addition, SIMC believes the conflict of interest associated with the business criteria described above is managed through the disclosures we make about the program and, importantly, as a result of the fact that the Independent Advisor has multiple sub-program options available when determining how to access SIMC’s asset allocation advice, both through the availability of multiple Third Party Fund models and the programs available outside of the Third Party Funds program, and that the Independent Advisors, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of any Third Party Fund model with its Clients. SIMC has a conflict of interest when selecting SEI ETFs to fulfill a Third Party Fund model’s asset allocation since this activity results in SIMC investing client assets in its proprietary products. As SIMC is the investment advisor to each of the SEI ETFs, SIMC earns advisory fees for providing services to the SEI ETFs when clients invest in such funds through MAS. In order to address the conflict of interest this presents SIMC rebates against the client’s MAS wrap fee an amount equal to the fees SIMC and its affiliates earn from the funds on the Client’s assets invested in SEI ETFs. Integrated Cash Program allocations to FDIC Sweep are excluded from the wrap fee. And, as the SEI ETFs are relatively new investment products and SIMC expects to launch additional SEI ETFs from time to time, the inclusion of these funds in a model further benefits SIMC as it allows those ETFs to become commercially viable and more attractive in the market without SIMC having to invest its own capital in those SEI ETFs. Clients should be aware that similar products may offer better performance and/or longer track records than SEI ETFs. Models-Based Strategies – ETF Strategies and other ETF-based Strategies In these programs SIMC develops investment models as described above and generally populates the models’ asset allocations: (i) in the case of the ETF Strategies, with third party ETFs and, in certain cases, SEI ETFs and, (ii) in the case of our Other ETF-based Strategies, ETFs, third party mutual funds and, in certain cases, SEI ETFs. Currently, these other strategies include our outcome- oriented strategies, but SIMC may add additional strategies within this strategy category over time. With respect to the third party ETFs or mutual funds selected for allocations to these models, SIMC does not rely on the ETF sponsors for marketing support, and includes them based on objective factors only. SIMC will first determine if a SEI ETF meets the asset class requirement and, if so, will use the SEI ETF as part of the model. This determination is based on the SEI ETF’s stated investment strategy and its alignment to the asset class requirements as determined in SIMC”s discretion. If no such SEI ETF fits the necessary asset class requirement, SIMC will instead select from third party ETFs and mutual funds to complete the model allocation. Models-Based Strategies - Distribution Focused Strategies DFS is a series of investment strategies available within MAS and designed for Clients in a distribution (e.g., retirement) phase of their investment lifecycle. Independent Advisors, along with their Clients, select whether to have SIMC implement DFS through investment models consisting solely of allocation to (i) SEI Funds or (ii) third party ETFs and SEI ETFs,within a strategy seeking to generate a targeted level of distributions using a broadly diversified portfolio of assets. In addition to pursuing the targeted distribution objectives, DFS seeks to provide a degree of principal preservation by seeking to leave a positive residual value at the end of each strategy’s stated investment time horizon. While each DFS strategy has a targeted distribution level and residual value, there is no assurance that either target will actually be met. SIMC manages the strategies directly rather than delegating management to a sub- advisor. As noted in Item 6 below, in addition to the wrap fee, SIMC earns an administrative fee when managing DFS strategies. As SIMC is the investment advisor to each of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs and SIMC’s affiliates provide other services to the SEI Funds (e.g., distributor, fund administrator, shareholder services, etc.), SIMC and its affiliates earn fees for providing services to the SEI Funds when clients invest in such funds through a DFS portfolio. In order to address the conflict of interest this presents, SIMC does not charge the MAS wrap fee on the strategies allocated to the SEI Funds, but instead is compensated through the fees earned with the SEI Funds. For the models allocated to ETFs, SEI ETFs and SEI money market funds, SIMC rebates against the client wrap fee an amount equal to the fees earned on the client’s assets invested in SEI ETFs and SEI money market funds. Integrated Cash Program allocations to FDIC Sweep are excluded from the 10  wrap fee. See Item 6 below for more information. SIMC also believes our conflicts of interest in using SEI Funds and SEI ETFs is mitigated because the Independent Advisor, and not SIMC, is solely responsible for recommending and selecting the use of a DFS portfolio implemented using SEI Funds with its Clients. Use of Affiliates For each of the programs and products described in this Brochure, SIMC hires its affiliates to perform various services, including but not limited to, sub-advisory services, administrative services, custodial services, brokerage and/or other services and such affiliates may receive compensation for providing such services. Clients are also generally required to open custodial accounts with SIMCs affiliate, SPTC in connection with investing in MAS. Please refer to Item 9 for additional information. Program Fees In MAS, Clients pay a fee to SIMC for its advisory services, the trade execution provided by SIMC’s affiliate SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”) (see Item 6 for additional information), the advisory services of Portfolio Managers and the custody fee of SIMC’s affiliate, SEI Private Trust Company (e.g., the “wrap fee”). SIMC’s fees are a percentage of the daily market value of the Client’s Managed Account Strategy assets. SIMC’s fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and net of any income, withholding or other taxes. Listed in the tables below are SIMC’s MAS program fees. In certain cases SIMC will apply discounts to the contracted fee rates. These discounts may be substantial and vary materially based on a variety of factors, including SEI’s business relationship and individual arrangements with your Independent Advisor. SIMC may also apply discounts to employee accounts. These discounts are typically at SIMC’s discretion and may be terminated at any time, after which time contracted fee rates will apply. When a Managed Account Strategy is invested in SEI Funds (excluding cash allocations that will invest in the Integrated Cash Program), Clients will be invested in the SEI Fund share class for which they are eligible, as set forth in the SEI Funds’ prospectuses, generally Class F shares, which are referenced throughout this Brochure. Independent Advisors that direct substantial Client assets in the aggregate to SEI Fund shares are eligible to invest Client assets into other SEI Fund share classes, generally with lower fees than F Class. While this Brochure generally refers to F class shares of the SEI Funds, to the extent a Client is invested in other SEI Fund share classes, the same conflicts discussed in this Brochure apply. Independent Advisors charge Clients additional fees for their investment advisory services, and SIMC does not establish, review or approve those fees. Clients may have the option to purchase certain SIMC investment products, including the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, that SIMC recommends through other brokers or agents not affiliated with SIMC. MAS fees do not cover certain costs, charges or compensation associated with transactions effected in a Client account, including but not limited to, broker-dealer spreads, certain broker-dealer mark-ups or mark- downs on principal transactions; auction fees; fees charged by exchanges on a per transaction basis; certain odd-lot differentials; transfer taxes; electronic fund and wire transfer fees; fees on NASDAQ transactions; certain costs associated with trading in foreign securities; any other charges mandated by law. In addition, MAS and DFS fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) on transactions SIMC or a Portfolio Manager places with broker-dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates or agents (third-party broker-dealers), or mark-ups or markdowns by third-party broker-dealers. SIMC and Portfolio Managers execute trades for fixed income securities through third-party broker-dealers and the spread, mark-up or markdown on such a transaction is borne by the Client. SIMC publishes to Independent Advisors a quarterly report listing trading activity conducted with third-party broker-dealers along with certain cost information, to the extent available, associated therewith. SIMC or Portfolio Managers may also occasionally execute other types of equity transactions through third-party broker-dealers. To the extent that transactions are executed through a third-party broker-dealer, any associated execution costs are incurred by the Client separate from the MAS fees. In addition, the value of a Client’s assets invested in shares of unaffiliated investment companies (e.g., exchange traded funds, closed-end or mutual fund companies, and unit investment trusts) is included in calculating the SIMC fee to the extent permitted by law. These shares are also subject to investment 11  advisory, administration, transfer agency, distribution, shareholder service and other fund-level expenses (some of which may be paid to SIMC or its affiliates or to Portfolio Managers) that are paid by the fund and the Client, indirectly, as a fund shareholder. The SIMC fees will not be reduced by any of these unaffiliated fund-level fees, unless required by law. Please refer to Item 9 for additional information on SIDCO. Clients participating in MAS must custody their assets at SPTC and therefore will be subject to custody fees charged by SPTC. The bundled wrap fee charged for participation in MAS includes these custody fees, with the exception of a termination fee that SPTC charges upon the termination of a Client’s account. SIMC and/or its affiliates may voluntarily waive certain custody fees for its Clients. Additionally, for DFS, SIMC charges a maximum Program Fee of 0.20% for providing administrative and recordkeeping services and other services to accounts invested in DFS. The fee is calculated and paid to SIMC quarterly in arrears. SIMC will deduct the Program Fee directly from the Client’s custody account. SIMC’s maximum fee schedule for MAS -DFS accounts invested in ETFs is as follows: Strategy Breakpoints SIMC Fee* First $250,000 0.40% Next $250,000 0.35% Next $500,000 0.30% DFS Strategies - ETF Models Next $1 million 0.25% Next $3 million 0.20% Next $5 million 0.17% Over $10 million 0.15% *Fee breakpoint levels are determined based on a Client’s total account assets invested in the DFS Strategies Portfolios – ETF Models listed above. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part based on SIMC's relationship with the Independent Advisor. SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. Client will also pay the Independent Advisor advisory fees agreed to between the Client and Independent Advisor. SIMC’s maximum fee schedule for MAS accounts is as follows.

By way of example only, if an account is invested in two SIMC Managed Account Strategies in the same category, the first being a model classified as a Small Cap style and a second model classified as a Small-Mid Cap style, the account assets invested in those two SIMC Managed Account Strategies will be combined for purposes of determining the applicable breakpoint levels for purposes of calculating the fees payable to SIMC. Breakpoints are not applied across the style description groupings/fee rate schedules. By way of example only, if an account is invested in a SIMC Managed Account Strategy classified as a Small Cap style as well as in a second SIMC Managed Account Strategy classified as an Alternative Income style, those account assets will not be combined for purposes of determining the applicable breakpoint level for calculating Fees, but assets allocated to each such SIMC Managed Account Strategy will be considered individually in determining fees payable to SIMC. The maximum Fee a Client will pay is 1.25%. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part based on SIMC's relationship with the Independent Advisor. SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. Client will also pay the Independent Advisors advisory fees agreed to between the Client and Independent Advisor. **Fee breakpoint levels are determined based on a Client’s total account assets invested in the Custom HNW Portfolios listed above. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part based on SIMC's relationship with the Independent Advisor. SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. Client will also pay the Independent Advisors advisory fees agreed to between the Client and Independent Advisor. 14  Fees for SEI Funds To the extent a Client’s assets in MAS are invested in SEI Funds, SIMC and its affiliates will earn fund- level fees on those assets, as set forth in the applicable Fund’s prospectus. As noted in the specific program descriptions above, SIMC will either waive its wrap fee or rebate against the wrap fee the fund level fees earned on MAS assets invested in any SEI Fund. Each SEI Fund pays an advisory fee to SIMC that is based on a percentage of the portfolio's average daily net assets, as described in the mutual fund’s prospectus. From such amount, SIMC pays the sub-advisor(s) to the SEI Fund. SIMC’s fund advisory fee varies, but it typically ranges from 0.03% - 1.50% of the portfolio's average daily net assets for its advisory services. Additionally, affiliates of SIMC provide administrative, shareholder, distribution and transfer agency services to all of the SEI Funds, as described in the SEI Funds’ registration statements. These fees and expenses are paid by the SEI Funds but ultimately are borne by each shareholder of the SEI Funds. Fees for SEI ETFs To the extent a Client’s assets in MAS are invested in SEI ETFs, SIMC will earn fund-level fees on those assets, as set forth in the applicable fund’s prospectus. As noted in the specific program descriptions above, SIMC will rebate against its wrap fee an amount equal to the fund level fees earned on MAS assets invested in any SEI ETF. Each SEI ETF pays an advisory fee to SIMC that is based on a percentage of the portfolio's average daily net assets, as described in the exchange traded fund’s prospectus. SIMC’s fund advisory fee may vary, for each SEI ETF, the range currently varies from 0.15% to 0.80% of the portfolio's average daily net assets. From such amount SIMC pays the fund’s other service providers for the services they provide to the fund, including SEI’s affiliates providing administrative, distribution and transfer agency services to the SEI ETFs, as described in the SEI Funds’ registration statements. These fees and expenses are paid by the SEI ETFs but ultimately are borne by each shareholder of the SEI ETFs. Fees for SEI Asset Allocation Models Clients will incur costs indirectly as shareholders of each of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs included in a model represented through each fund’s expense ratio (i.e., the fees charged to the fund and borne by all shareholders). These models are actively managed by SIMC and over time Client’s account allocation to individual SEI Funds and SEI ETFs will vary as SIMC adjusts the investments among the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs when managing the models. These changes may impact the total underlying expenses Client’s account incurs, since each SEI Fund’s underlying fees are different (as set forth in the SEI Funds’ and SEI ETFs’ prospectuses). The expenses incurred by your account invested in a model may vary within the noted range and you agree this expense range in connection with SIMC’s management of your account.

As a result, allocation changes to a model do not typically result in material changes to the overall expenses incurred (either up or down). For example, if a new SEI Fund was added to a model and this fund is 10 basis points more expensive than a fund it replaced and we assume the fund’s allocation to the model is 15% of the total model allocation, the increased cost to a $100,000 account over a 12-month period is fifteen dollars. [(100,000 *.15) *.001 (assuming the $100,000 value was constant through the period for purposes of this demonstration). Of course, in many cases allocation changes would result in a similar de minimis decrease in the expenses incurred. Additional Compensation SIMC’s investment solutions, including the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, are offered to Independent Advisors for their use in providing advisory services to their Clients. SIMC and its affiliates receive fees from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, which are determined as a percentage of the applicable total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends to an Independent Advisor that its clients invest in the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs, SIMC and its affiliates benefit from investment in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. Please see Items 6 and 9 for additional information. And, as noted in Item 9, Clients accounts held at SPTC are in almost all cases required to participate in the Integrated Cash Program which results in additional compensation to SPTC. In connection with an Independent Advisor’s use of SIMC’s investment solutions, SIMC and its affiliates provide the Independent Advisor with a range of services and other benefits, which in some cases include financial compensation, to help it conduct its business and serve its Clients. These benefits and services, discussed below, may be made available to Independent Advisors at no fee or at a discounted fee, and the terms may vary among Independent Advisors depending on the business they and their Clients conduct with SIMC and other factors. These benefits and services do not necessarily benefit the Independent Advisor’s Clients. Technology Platform SIMC and its affiliates provide Independent Advisors with technical and operational solutions including a technology and operational platform referred to as the “SEI Wealth Platform”sm. The SEI Wealth Platform is provided to Independent Advisors and generally supports the management of their Clients’ accounts held at SPTC. The SEI Wealth Platform provides a view of the Independent Advisors’ Client’s accounts at SPTC and gives Independent Advisors the ability to submit instructions to SPTC on behalf of their Clients, such as transactions, strategy changes, and general servicing of Client accounts, as well as other tools that allow Independent Advisors to develop, select, and evaluate investment strategies for its Clients. In addition, the SEI Wealth Platform includes access to the SEI Proposal Tool that permits Independent Advisors to develop and select investment strategies for its Clients. The SEI Wealth Platform also supports the processing of advisory fees for the Independent Advisors. The fact that Independent Advisors do not incur any cost for the SEI Wealth Platform could create an incentive for the Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC and SPTC over any other third party managers and custodians that do charge a cost for access to a similar platform. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, if applicable, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. SIMC supports various third party software systems used by Independent Advisors to manage Client assets and automated workflows provided by or paid for by SIMC that supports the integration of these systems into the SEI Wealth Platform or to streamline Independent Advisors’ interaction with the SEI Wealth Platform and SEI’s other systems. SIMC also provides personnel for operational support to facilitate the integration of third party software/systems that Independent Advisors use with the SEI Wealth Platform to help to streamline operations. The maximum payment payable to, or benefit received by, an 17  Independent Advisor for internal software systems during a calendar year is $5,000.00. An Independent Advisor is eligible for this third-party software/systems-related benefit only if it maintains a certain level of Client assets invested in SEI Funds, MAS, and the other wealth management programs made available for use by Independent Advisors outside of MAS (together, “assets under management with SIMC”) or is actively engaged with SIMC and its investment, administrative and operational services. This creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third party managers that do not offer this benefit. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. In rare instances we have entered into contractual arrangements with Independent Advisors to reimburse them amounts for third party software and technology support that significantly exceeds the maximum benefit amounts listed above. Payment of these amounts are subject to the terms of a contract with the Independent Advisor which, among other things, require the advisor to determine that the acceptance of the benefit is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to disclose the nature of the arrangement and any conflicts raised by such arrangement with their clients. This benefit creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC and its investment solutions over other third party managers that do not provide similar benefits. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. SIMC also supports Independent Advisor’s use of non-integrated third-party software/systems. Independent Advisors receive the software directly from the third-party at a reduced cost through SIMC or its affiliate’s arrangement with the software provider to provide discounted rates to Independent Advisors. Discounts available to Independent Advisors vary by third-party software providers, but are generally a certain percentage off of the software provider’s standard fees. An Independent Advisor is eligible for this third-party software/systems-related benefit only if it maintains a certain level of assets under management with SIMC. This creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third party managers that do not offer this benefit. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. Conversion Services When Independent Advisors undertake a conversion of its Clients’ accounts to SPTC from other custodial platforms, Independent Advisors receive clerical support from SIMC personnel to streamline the conversion process (e.g., SIMC personnel populate SIMC’s and SPTC’s end client paperwork for client signature necessary for clients to move accounts to SPTC) and other administrative services. The maximum payment or benefit payable to an Independent Advisor for clerical support from SIMC personnel to streamline the conversion of Clients’ accounts to SPTC is $2,000 per 100 accounts that are converted. In certain circumstances SIMC pays the costs that the Independent Advisor’s Clients would otherwise incur when transferring Clients’ assets to SPTC from another custodian (for instance, paying account closing fees charged by the Client’s old custodian). SIMC may either pay the custodian directly the amount it would have otherwise charged each converting Client to close its account with the custodian or reimburse the Client’s account at SPTC by the amount of the transfer costs incurred. In certain limited cases, SIMC may also pay compensation of up to ten (10) basis points on Independent Advisors’ Clients assets transferred to SPTC to offset transition costs incurred by the Independent Advisors. An Independent Advisor is eligible for this conversion services benefit only if it commits to move a certain level of client assets over to SIMC. This creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third party managers that do not offer this benefit. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. Other Research Investment Services investment research to assist Independent Advisors in making SIMC provides investment recommendations/decisions for its Clients’ accounts. This service generally consist of SIMC’s investment 18  professionals reviewing an Independent Advisors Client’s current investment portfolio, future goals and potential tax impact of an investment reallocation, as provided by the Independent Advisors to SIMC, and designing an investment portfolio intended to meet the Clients’ goals constructed using SIMC’s proprietary investment solutions. The proposed investment portfolio is provided by SIMC to Independent Advisors. Independent Advisors independently review any investment proposal designed by SIMC and determines whether to recommend/use the investment portfolio with its Client(s) and/or to implement the portfolio at SIMC. This benefit creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC and its investment solutions over other third party managers that do not offer a similar service. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. Marketing Benefits In circumstances where SIMC determines that an Independent Advisor is actively engaged with SIMC and its investment, administrative and operational services, an Independent Advisor receives assistance from SIMC for marketing activities, including, but not limited to, creating and providing marketing toolkits and other forms of marketing materials to be adapted by the Independent Advisors to use with its Clients and prospects and assistance with joint marketing (e.g., co-branded) initiatives. This benefit creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third party managers that do not offer it, or to otherwise favor SIMC in the Independent Advisor’s communications and marketing efforts. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. SEI Advisor Benefit Program (“ABP”) Compliance Support and Legacy Programs SIMC provides certain Independent Advisors with a compliance service consisting of access to a third party investment adviser compliance software system and related compliance support by the vendor’s personnel. SIMC may provide the compliance service to an Independent Advisor at a reduced fee from the vendor’s standard rate or for no cost. Eligibility for this program is at SIMC’s discretion, buy may be based on an Independent Advisor committing to a certain minimum AUM at SIMC or made available to Independent Advisors actively engaged with SIMC and its investment, administrative and operational services. And, certain Independent Advisors participating in a legacy SIMC program may also receive a variety of consulting and administration services, including, but not limited to, compliance software and services, human resources services, facilities support, and a dedicated service team member. Those Independent Advisors participating in this arrangement with IAS may receive these services at a discount from typical stand-alone rates or for no cost. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your Independent Advisor. Custom Pricing In certain cases, SIMC and its affiliates agree to customized pricing discounts for particular Independent Advisors’ Client accounts at SPTC (such as MAS or Sub-Advised Program pricing discounts exceeding the ABP discounts noted above) based on account size and/or the nature and scope of business the Independent Advisor does with IAS, including the current and future expected amount of the Independent Advisor’s Client assets in custody at SPTC and the types of SIMC investment products used by the Independent Advisor. Pricing discounts may vary materially from standard pricing and include SPTC agreeing to waive transactional charges and other fees it would normally charge the Independent Advisor’s Clients. SIMC and its affiliates, including SPTC, may change this pricing and the services and other benefits provided if the nature or scope of the Independent Advisor’s business changes or does not reach certain levels, in which case pricing for the Independent Advisor’s Client accounts may increase but will not exceed SIMC’s and its affiliate’s standard pricing for such products and services. This benefit 19  creates an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third party managers. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. Revenue Sharing Many Independent Advisors are affiliated with large regional or national financial intermediaries, including “dual registrant” brokerage and advisory firms that provide much of the core regulatory, compliance and operational infrastructure Independent Advisors rely upon to operate their businesses. SIMC and its affiliates pay compensation to these firms for services such as, without limitation, providing the SEI Funds with “shelf space” or a higher profile for the firm’s associated Independent Advisors and their Clients, placing the SEI Funds on the firm’s preferred or recommended fund list, granting SIMC access to the firm’s associated Independent Advisors, providing assistance in training and educating the firms’ personnel, allowing sponsorship of seminars or information meetings and furnishing marketing support and other specified services. SIMC also compensates these firms to support their ability to provide administrative support services required when the firm’s affiliated Independent Advisors conduct business with their Clients through the use of IAS services. These payments are typically based on average net assets of SEI Funds attributable to that firm’s Independent Advisors working with IAS, a negotiated annual lump sum payment or other similar metrics. For example, SIMC may pay either: (i) up to ten (10) basis points on net cash flow invested in SEI Funds; and/or (ii) ten (10) basis points multiplied by the firm’s Independent Advisors’ Clients total assets invested in SIMC sponsored investments for the administrative services provided and to help offset the compliance service costs that the firm will incur in overseeing their Independent Advisor’s use of SIMC managed investment solutions. Alternatively, SIMC may pay up to ten (10) basis points multiplied by the firm’s Advisors’ Clients total assets invested in SIMC sponsored investments for the firm’s marketing and distribution services as well as administrative services provided and to help offset the compliance service costs that the broker-dealer will be the subject of. The terms of these arrangements with various firms will vary. Payments are sometimes made by SIMC or its affiliates to financial institutions to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided, such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. These fees may be used by the financial institutions to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The foregoing payments may be in addition to any shareholder servicing fees paid to a financial institution in accordance with the SEI Funds’ Shareholder Services Plan or Administrative Services Plan. These payments create an incentive for an Independent Advisor to recommend SIMC over other third party managers that do not offer similar arrangements. For additional information on the material facts relating to this conflict of interest for your Independent Advisor, please see your Independent Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A Firm Brochure or discuss it with your financial professional. Solicitation Arrangements SIMC enters into solicitation arrangements with third parties who will receive a solicitation fee from SIMC for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. Additionally, SIMC compensates SEIC employees who will receive a fee (determined based on the fee paid to SIMC by the client) for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. In all cases these solicitation arrangements are designed and implemented in a manner to comply with Investment Adviser Act Rule 206(4)-1. And applicable state laws. Independent Advisor Benefits The benefits, services or payments made to Independent Advisors or financial institutions discussed throughout this “Additional Compensation” and elsewhere in this Brochure may be significant to the Independent Advisor or financial institutions receiving them and creates an incentive for the Independent Advisor or financial institutions to recommend or offer SIMC’s investment management products and services, including thee SEI Funds, to Clients rather than other funds or investment products. These payments are made by SIMC and its affiliates out of its past profits or other available resources. 20  Although the SEI Funds uses broker-dealers that sell SEI Fund shares to effect transactions for the SEI Funds’ portfolio, the SEI Funds, SIMC and its sub-advisors will not consider the sale of SEI Fund shares as a factor when choosing broker-dealers to affect those transactions and will not direct brokerage transactions to broker-dealers as compensation for the sales of SEI Fund shares. Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients Account Requirements SIMC may impose minimum account balances which will vary (typically between $25,000 - $250,000) depending upon the Managed Account Strategy chosen and whether the Client selects the tax management feature. Types of Clients SIMC offers access to various investment products, including MAS, to Independent Advisors, who offer these products and services, to their end clients, such as high net worth individuals, trusts, endowments and foundations and institutions (each, a “Client” and together, the “Clients”). SIMC is also investment advisor to various types of investors, including but not limited to, corporate and union sponsored pension plans, public plans, defined contribution plans (including 401(k) plans), endowments, charitable foundations, hospital organizations, banks, trust departments, registered investment advisors, trusts, corporations, high net worth individuals and retail investors. SIMC also serves as the investment advisor to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, alternative funds, collective investment trusts and offshore investment funds (together, the “Pooled Investment Vehicles”). Additionally, SIMC serves as the sponsor of, and advisor to, managed accounts. 21  Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Advisory Business SIMC is an investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) with the SEC. It is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEIC”), a publicly traded diversified financial services firm (NASDAQ: SEIC) headquartered in Oaks, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. SIMC and its predecessor entities were originally incorporated in 1969. SIMC’s total assets under management as of December 31, 2025 were $216,428,500,660, $ 211,986,837,592 of which it manages on a discretionary basis and 4,441,663,068 on a non-discretionary basis. Please see Item 4 for a description of MAS and DFS. Performance SIMC’s sub-advisors provide performance calculations for their investment mandate to SIMC on a periodic basis. Neither SIMC nor a third party reviews these performance calculations for accuracy. Also, the performance information may not be calculated on a uniform or consistent basis among managers. Affiliated Brokerage MAS (which is a “wrap fee programs,” meaning the Client pays one fee for investment advisory and brokerage services) is structured such that, in many cases, and most equity-based SIMC Managed Account Strategies, SIMC is provided with the Portfolio Manager’s investment strategy model (each a “Model Manager”) and SIMC will generally execute all equity trades using SIDCO, SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, consistent with the duty to seek best execution. Accordingly, a portion of the fees charged to the Client covers equity trading costs executed through SIDCO (See Item 9 for more information on SIMC’s brokerage practices). SIDCO will receive and retain compensation for this trading activity. Additionally, SIMC and certain Portfolio Managers (each a “Trading Manager”) also execute trades directly through third party broker dealers in certain cases (i.e., for most fixed income strategies). The commission, spread, mark- up or markdown on such a transaction is borne by the Client. Also, a significant percentage of trades in closed-end fund and master limited partnership strategies managed by Parametric are executed through third-party broker-dealers, on the basis that Parametric believes doing so results in the best combination of price and execution cost. SIMC or Portfolio Managers may also occasionally execute other types of equity transactions through third-party broker-dealers. To the extent that transactions are executed through a third-party broker-dealer, any associated execution costs are incurred by the Client separate from the MAS fees. The SIMC wrap fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) where SIMC or a Trading Manager executes transactions with broker-dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates. Any such execution charges will be separately charged to the Client. SIMC’s internal governance structure oversees SIMC’s use of SIDCO in the program to ensure that its use of SIDCO for the Program is suitable. See Item 9 and the Quarterly Execution Quality Review Report made available to the Independent Advisor and Clients invested in MAS for additional information. Performance Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management SIMC does not charge any performance-based fees in the Program. SIMC’s Overall Investment Philosophy SIMC’s philosophy is based on four key components: asset allocation, portfolio design, implementation and risk management. SIMC’s philosophy and process offers Clients personalization, diversification, coordination and management and represents a strategy geared toward achieving long-term investment goals in various financial climates. 22  Asset Allocation. SIMC’s approach to asset allocation takes Clients’ goals into account, along with more traditional inputs such as asset class risk and return expectations . We believe that acknowledging and accounting for common behavioral biases while simultaneously harnessing the power of efficient portfolio construction can help investors maximize the chances of achieving their financial objectives. We also believe that constructing portfolios according to investors’ major financial goals (such as retirement, education or lifestyle) and aligned with the risk tolerance associated with each of those objectives provides a greater understanding of how the goals and investments align. This should allow for a higher level of comfort with the overall investment strategy—thereby increasing the odds that investors will remain invested in the financial markets and focused on achieving their goals rather than making portfolio changes as a reaction to short-term market volatility. We believe that maintaining consistent exposure to the markets over time is the surest way to earn attractive returns, and that doing so with a goals- based approach should help investors achieve their financial goals. In constructing portfolios that correspond with a particular objective, we seek to deliver the maximum expected return available given the goal’s risk tolerance. SIMC constructs multiple model portfolios to address a wide variety of Client goals and dedicate considerable resources to active asset allocation decisions that help our investment offerings keep pace with an evolving market environment. Portfolio Design. In terms of portfolio design, SIMC generally attempts to identify alpha source(s), or opportunities for returns in excess of the benchmark, across equity, fixed-income and alternative- investment portfolios. SIMC looks for potential sources of excess return that have demonstrated staying power over the long term across multiple markets in a given geographic region. Alpha sources are classified into broad categories; categorizing them in this manner allows us to create portfolios that are not simply diversified between asset classes (e.g., equity and fixed-income strategies), but also diversified across the underlying drivers of alpha. Implementation. When building portfolios, SIMC seeks to identify, analyze, select, and monitor investment strategies with characteristics that can be expected to outperform the portfolio’s benchmark in the future— through both external investment managers and internally managed portfolios. SIMC may use a multi-manager implementation, which means that SIMC typically hires sub-advisors (third- party and affiliated) to select individual securities. As a multi-manager, SIMC aims to identify, classify and validate manager skill when choosing sub-advisors. Differentiating manager skill from market- generated returns is one of SIMC’s primary objectives, as it seeks to identify sub-advisors that it believes can deliver superior results over time. SIMC develops forward-looking expectations regarding how a manager will execute a given investment mandate, environments in which the strategy should outperform and environments in which the strategy might underperform. In certain circumstances, SIMC may default to internal managers due to similar risk and return characteristics and similarly positioned results that provide improved pricing. While SEI applies its internal controls and review processes over its internally managed strategies, these controls differ from the processes SIMC uses to oversee third party managers. Due to these differences, SEI will not normally downgrade or replace a recommended SEI-managed strategy as it would with a third party manager, since SEI would address concerns with its managed strategies through its internal processes. SIMC selects sub-advisors based on SIMC's manager research process. SIMC uses proprietary databases and software, supplemented by data from various third parties, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of sub-advisors. The qualitative analysis focuses on a manager's investment philosophy, process, personnel, portfolio construction and performance. Quantitative analysis identifies the sources of a manager's return relative to a benchmark. SIMC typically uses performance attribution models from providers such as Axioma, BlackRock and others in this process. SIMC typically appoints several sub- advisors within a stated asset class. For instance, SIMC will generally have more than one sub-advisor assigned to the large-cap growth asset class. After identifying the investment strategy, factors, and investment managers, SIMC implements a portfolio construction process that seeks to build the optimal portfolio to achieve the stated investment objectives. Strategically, it needs to ensure that the portfolio is sufficiently exposed to targeted factors and an appropriate level of risk (in absolute or benchmark-relative terms, depending on the objective), 23  while remaining suitably diversified. SIMC makes adjustments to the portfolio as needed in order to maintain the balance between sources of risk and return. Tactically, it also adjusts the portfolio throughout the market cycle—leaning more heavily into factors that are expected to outperform in the years ahead and downplaying those expected to underperform. Risk Management. SIMC relies on a risk management group to focus on common risks across and within asset classes. Daily monitoring of assigned portfolio tolerances and deviations result in an active risk mitigation program. SIMC employs a multi-asset risk-management system to provide a consistent view of risk across asset classes—while preserving a distinct separation between risk oversight and portfolio management in order to preserve objectivity. The Investment Risk Management team is responsible for determining whether the risks of SEI’s investment strategies are consistent with their mandates. It reports directly to SEI’s Chief Risk Officer, which helps maintain impartiality and allows for direct access and support from senior management. Governance. In an effort to remain unbiased, SIMC’s governance structure is independent of portfolio management. It includes various oversight committees, which are each chaired by the head of Investment Risk Management. Manager Research Services SIMC offers various manager research services both within SIMC’s MAS program and outside of such program as a stand-alone service. We discuss these services below. 1. Research Fundamental to SIMC’s Investment Management Services (Within SIMC’s MAS program). As a pioneer in the manager-of managers investment approach, a fundamental component of SIMC’s core investment services is researching the available universe of third-party sub-advisor strategies and hiring only those managers for our Individual Manager Strategies meeting SIMC’s criteria for specific asset classes as sub-advisors within SIMC’s various managed account types, including as sub-advisors to the SEI Funds and foreign pooled funds, as well as making these manager strategies available in SIMC’s sponsored MAS program (both U.S. and global). For Individual Manager Strategies in the MAS program, SIMC conducts research on the universe of available sub-advisor strategies in order to select and retain sub-advisors SIMC believes are appropriate (or terminate if inappropriate) for the MAS program when SIMC is acting in a fiduciary capacity. And, on occasion SIMC may provide our manager research analysis to certain of our clients investing in this program when requested as part of the investment management services provided. 2. Stand-Alone Research (Outside of SIMC’s MAS program). As an outgrowth of SIMC’s competency in vetting sub-advisor strategies (as noted above), SIMC provides a service in which institutional clients (e.g., banks, large financial service providers, etc.) hire SIMC to conduct research on third-party investment manager strategies as requested by the institutional client. When providing “Stand-Alone Research Services,” SIMC is not hired to act as a discretionary manager to the client, but rather to conduct investment research on any third party investment manager strategy as directed by the client and in accordance with the research agreement outlining the services provided. Generally, when providing Stand-Alone Research Services: a. The levels of research SIMC conducts on a manager and the manager’s investment strategy will vary based on the contracted level of services, but generally involves either a quantitative and/or qualitative review of the manager and its associated strategy, with written documentation commensurate with the level of service providing insights and, in all cases, summarizing SIMC’s point of view on the manager strategy. Service levels generally differ as to the extent (or depth) of the research SIMC will conduct initially and on-going on the manager strategies selected for research by a client as set forth in the applicable research agreement. On occasion, as part of the Stand-Alone Research Services, a client may request SIMC to 24  provide research on a manager investment strategy that is currently used by SIMC within one or more of SIMC’s managed investment programs where SIMC has hired the manager as a sub-advisor (e.g., the manager is a sub-advisor to an SEI Fund or available as an Individual Manager Strategy in MAS) (each, a “SIMC Contracted Strategy”). While the research output provided to the client about a SIMC Contracted Strategy may be the same as the output provided on a third-party manager strategy under the Stand-Alone Research Services, SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies because of its inclusion in SIMC’s MAS program (or as sub-advisor to an SEI Fund) and as a result of SIMC’s familiarity with such SIMC Contracted Strategies. This research includes in depth initial and ongoing reviews of the manager’s investment strategy and methodologies, investment personnel, business structure and compliance program. Accordingly, SIMC generally charges Stand-Alone Research Service clients a different fee (generally under a basis point fee schedule) when providing research on SIMC Contracted Strategies. As a result of the pricing model, such fees may be more (or less in some cases) than what SIMC charges clients for research on third-party manager strategies, regardless of the level of research output requested. This differentiated fee schedule is intended to reflect the additional initial and on-going research and due diligence conducted on SIMC Contracted Strategies, including services not generally provided in connection with the Stand-Alone Research Services. If our view of a SIMC Contracted Strategy changes (i.e., downgraded), this change may be reflected in our investment programs (e.g., manager termination/changes) prior to the time we notify research clients of the change in SIMC’s view of the strategy. b. The level of research we conduct on third-party managers depends on client contracted service levels. As a result, if clients with different service levels request research on the same manager investment strategy, clients may receive different levels of analysis output, such as a more detailed manager report versus shorter analysis summaries. However, in all cases research output includes SIMC’s point of view of the strategy and changes by SIMC in this regard are communicated to all research clients at the same time. c. As part of the Stand-Alone Research Services a client may request SIMC to recommend investment strategies for specified asset classes when the client is adding an additional asset class to its investment program or the client is replacing a current manager’s investment strategy (each, a “Recommended Strategy”). In many cases a Recommend Strategy may be available through several delivery methods, such as through separately managed accounts or through pooled vehicles, such as mutual funds sponsored or managed by the applicable investment manager. While SIMC does not normally consider an investment strategy’s various delivery methods as part of the Research Services, if a client has informed SIMC that it prefers a pooled fund implementation, SIMC will limit its research universe to investment strategies available through a fund implementation. And, SIMC will also provide limited research on the available pooled vehicles. In some cases SIMC may not recommend an investment strategy that it would have otherwise recommended as a result of this product-level review, and will instead recommend a different investment manger’s strategy available through a fund implementation. d. When recommending investment strategies as part of the Stand-Alone Research Services, to the extent an investment strategy meeting the client’s requested asset class/investment style criteria is available, SIMC will first recommend a SIMC Contracted Strategy since SIMC has conducted its deepest level of analysis on the SIMC Contracted Strategies. If a Contracted Strategy does not meet the client’s requested criteria, SIMC will then recommend a third party investment strategy based on SIMC’s research of available investment strategies. In certain situations that vary based on how the customer chooses to implement a recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC will earn compensation that it would not earn by recommending an investment strategy not available within SIMC’s current investment programs. For instance, if the customer uses MAS or an SEI Fund to access the recommended Contracted Strategy, SIMC, and it some cases, SIMC’s affiliates, would earn fees in addition to the Stand-Alone Research Service fees. Any additional compensation SIMC (or its affiliates) would earn as a result of any 25  such recommendation is disclosed to the client at the time of the recommendation and any use of such recommend investment strategy remains solely with the client. Affiliates Model Platform Services. SIMC’s affiliates provide a technology and operational service platform to deliver to these institutional customers’ manager strategy model data for manager strategies selected by such customers. While these investment models are selected by client independently, and not by SIMC, in many cases SIMC may have provided research on the investment strategies selected by the client under a research contract. In certain cases, SIMC and its affiliate may jointly contract with an institutional client to provide both Stand Alone Research and model delivery services. To the extent that a model platform client selects a SIMC Contracted Strategy for a model, SIMC’s affiliate providing model delivery services may agree to reduce or waive its model delivery platform service fee otherwise payable, as SIMC is already receiving model delivery information in connection with its own managed investment programs and, as noted above, generally charges clients more for research on SIMC manager strategies. This fee waiver may create an incentive for SIMC’s client to select a SIMC Contracted Strategy over a non-SIMC Contracted Strategy as a result of the lower model platform delivery fee. SIMC informs clients, which are typically sophisticated financial intermediaries, of this fee structure when contracting with the client for model delivery services. 3. SIMC’s Affiliates Service Sub-Advisors. SIMC’s affiliates provide technology, operational and administrative services to a wide variety of financial service intermediaries, including sub- advisors that may be subject to research ratings by SIMC. While this business relationship could cause a potential conflict of interest by SIMC when rating a manager strategy, to mitigate any conflicts, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEIC program and/or strategy offering. Implementation Through Investment Products The foregoing discusses SIMC’s investment philosophy in designing diversified investment portfolios for SIMC’s clients. In most cases, implementation of a client’s investment portfolio is accomplished through investing in a range of investment products, which may include mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, closed- end funds, private equity funds, collective investment trusts, or managed accounts. In order to provide clients with sufficient diversification and flexibility, SIMC manages products across a very wide range of investment strategies. These would include, to varying degrees, large and small capitalization U.S. equities, foreign developed markets equities, foreign emerging markets equity, real estate securities, U.S. investment grade fixed income securities, U.S. high yield (below investment grade) fixed income securities, foreign developed market fixed income securities, emerging markets debt, U.S. and foreign government securities, currencies, structured or asset-backed fixed income securities (including mortgage-backed), municipal bonds and other types of asset classes. SIMC also manages Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) investments and Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLO”) investments within certain investment products. CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. SIMC may also seek to achieve a product’s investment objectives by investing in derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards, options, swaps or other types of derivative instruments. Additionally, SIMC may also seek to achieve an investment product’s objective by investing some or all of its assets in affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, including money market funds. Within a mutual fund product, SIMC may also seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in a wholly owned subsidiary of the mutual fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain of SIMC’s product strategies may also attempt to utilize tax- management techniques to manage the impact of taxes. Further, SIMC may invest SIMC’s alternative funds and interval funds in third-party hedge funds or private equity funds that engage in a wide variety of investment techniques and strategies that carry varying degrees of risks. This may include long-short equity strategies, equity market neutral, merger arbitrage, credit hedging, distressed debt, sovereign debt, real estate, private equity investments, derivatives, currencies or other types of investments. 26  While SIMC’s investment strategies are normally implemented through pooled investment products, certain clients’ assets are invested directly in the target investments through a managed account or other means. The strategies that SIMC implements in such accounts is currently more limited than the breadth of strategies contained in SIMC’s funds, and generally covers U.S. large and small capitalization equity securities, international and emerging market ADRs, Master Limited Partnerships, and U.S. fixed income securities, including government securities and municipal bonds. SIMC may also implement strategies involving derivative securities directly within a client’s accounts. MAS Portfolio Managers, including SIMC, may determine to allocate a portion of their Managed Account Strategies to “cash” in excess of SPTC’s required 1% Integrated Cash Program cash allocation, generally for operational, administrative and other short-term liquidity purposes. The custodial-provided cash/cash equivalent investment option available to Portfolio Managers in MAS is limited to SPTC’s available cash option, which is the Integrated Cash Program and its FDIC Sweep option. Please see Item 9 for more information about SPTC’s Integrated Cash Program. In order to provide additional cash management optionality to MAS Portfolio Managers for allocations to cash beyond the 1% minimum required to be held in the Integrated Cash Program, SIMC makes available the F class of the SEI Daily Income Trust Government II Fund, an SEI money market fund, as a cash option to MAS Portfolio Managers for such additional cash allocations. Unless SIMC is instructed otherwise, Portfolio Managers are deemed to have instructed SIMC to invest their discretionary cash allocations in Managed Account Strategies in excess of the 1% minimum required to be held in the Integrated Cash Program into this money market fund and SIMC will implement such instructions with SPTC. Notwithstanding SIMC making this cash option available, the MAS Portfolio Manager remains solely responsible for the investment decision to maintain cash allocations in excess of 1%, and for which cash equivalent investment to use for any such cash allocation. Portfolio Managers may elect to instead invest discretionary cash allocations through the SPTC Integrated Cash Programs. There are certain conflicts of interest associated with the use of these cash equivalent investment options, which are discussed in detail in Items 4 above and 9 below. Investment Product Strategies Since SIMC implements such a broad range of strategies within its investment products, it would not be practical to set forth in detail each strategy that SIMC has developed for use across its products. The disclosure in this Brochure is not intended to supplant any product-specific disclosure documents. Clients should refer to the prospectus or other offering materials that it receives in conjunction with investing in a SIMC investment product for a detailed discussion of the strategy and risks associated with such product. Moreover, this Form ADV disclosure addresses strategies designed and implemented by SIMC and does not address strategies that are implemented by third parties (e.g., unaffiliated investment advisors, banks, institutions or other intermediaries) through the use of SIMC products. A strategy’s exposure to the foregoing asset classes, including the degree of exposure, is subject to change at any time due to evolving investment philosophies and market conditions. The risks associated with such strategies are also therefore subject to change at any time. Material Risks All strategies implemented by SIMC involve a risk of loss that Clients should understand, accept and be prepared to bear. Given the very wide range of investments in which a Client’s assets may be invested, either directly by investing in individual securities and/or through one or more pooled investment vehicles or funds, there is similarly a very wide range of risks to which a Client’s assets may be exposed. This Brochure does not include every potential risk associated with an investment strategy, or all of the risks applicable to a particular advisory account. Rather, it is a general description of the nature and risks of the strategies and securities and other financial instruments in which advisory accounts may invest. The particular risks to which a specific Client might be exposed will depend on the specific investment strategies incorporated into that Client’s portfolio. As such, for a detailed description of the material risks of investing in a particular product, the Client should, on or prior to investing, also refer to such product’s prospectus or other offering materials. 27  Set forth below are certain material risks to which a Client might be exposed in connection with SIMC’s implementation of a strategy for Client accounts: Absolute Return – A portfolio that seeks to achieve an absolute return with reduced correlation to stock and bond markets may not achieve positive returns over short or long term periods. Investment strategies that have historically been non-correlated or have demonstrated low correlations to one another or to stock and bond markets may become correlated at certain times and, as a result, may cease to function as anticipated over either short or long term periods. Artificial Intelligence Technology—The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of certain artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning models and generative artificial intelligence (collectively “AI”), may adversely impact markets, the overall performance of a Fund’s investments, or the services provided to a Fund. AI technologies are highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data and complex algorithms, and it is possible that the information provided through use of AI technologies could be insufficient, incomplete, inaccurate or biased, leading to adverse effects for a Fund, including, potentially, operational errors and investment losses. AI technologies and their current and potential future applications, and the regulatory frameworks within which they operate, continue to rapidly evolve, and it is impossible to predict the full extent of future applications or regulations and the associated risks to a Fund. To the extent a Fund invests in companies that are involved in various aspects of AI, the Fund will be affected by the risks of those types of companies, including changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, and changes in government regulation. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. Companies that are extensively involved in AI also may rely heavily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies’ technology. Further, because of the innovative nature of the AI market, outpaced advancement by one company or increasing market share by one company could result in rapid and substantial declines in the value of competing companies. In addition, market reaction to the potential impact of AI could result in excess demand for access to AI-related investments, thereby resulting in accelerated growth in the market value of such companies, which may then be subject to sharp resets in the wake of news or other information that tempers expectations of AI or of particular AI-related companies, thus potentially resulting in periods of high volatility in the price of such securities, which could negatively affect the Funds’ performance. Asset Allocation Risk – The risk that an investment advisor’s decisions regarding a portfolio’s allocation to asset classes or underlying funds will not anticipate market trends successfully. Asset-Backed Securities Risk – Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the portfolio may acquire. Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk – Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as “high yield bonds,” but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return. These risks may be increased in foreign and emerging markets. Call Risk — Issuers of callable bonds may call (redeem) securities with higher coupons or interest rates before their maturity dates. A portfolio may be forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the portfolio’s income. Bonds may be called due to falling interest 28  rates or non-economic circumstances. Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) Risk – CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. CDOs and CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CDO and CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CDOs and CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CDO or CLO, respectively, in which the portfolio invests. CDOs and CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk, which are described below. For example, a liquidity crisis in the global credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and high-yield debt securities and limited liquidity for such instruments. When a portfolio invests in CDOs or CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CDO’s or CLO’s expenses. The impact of expenses is especially relevant when a portfolio invests in the lowest tranche (the “equity tranche”) of a CDO or CLO. At the equity tranche level, expenses of a CDO or CLO may reduce distributions available to the portfolio before impacting distributions available to investors above the equity tranche and thereby disproportionately impact the portfolio’s investment in such CDO or CLO. Commercial Paper Risk — Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured short-term promissory notes issued by corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. Commercial paper is usually sold on a discount basis and has a maturity at the time of issuance generally not exceeding 270 days. The value of commercial paper may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities. The value of commercial paper will tend to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk – Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stock or other securities that may be converted into or exercised for a prescribed amount of common stock at a specified time and price. The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value typically declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline, and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature. Convertible securities may also be rated below investment grade (junk bonds) or may not be rated and are subject to credit risk and prepayment risk. Preferred stocks are nonvoting equity securities that pay a stated fixed or variable rate dividend. Due to their fixed income features, preferred stocks provide higher income potential than issuers’ common stocks, but are typically more sensitive to interest rate changes than an underlying common stock. Preferred stocks are also subject to equity market risk. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities. Preferred stock may also be subject to prepayment risk. Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk – Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers. Credit Risk – The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. Currency Risk – As a result of investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies a portfolio will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the portfolio would be adversely affected. To the extent that a portfolio takes active or passive positions in securities denominated in foreign currencies it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or 29  supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad Current Market Conditions Risk — A particular investment, or the market value of a portfolio’s investments in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. Unexpected changes in interest rates could lead to significant market volatility or reduce liquidity in certain sectors of the market. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad may adversely impact the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could negatively impact a portfolio’s investments and operations. In particular, the imposition of tariffs on foreign countries has led to retaliatory tariffs by certain foreign countries and could lead to retaliatory tariffs imposed by additional foreign countries, as well as increased and prolonged market volatility, and sector-specific downturns in industries reliant on international trade. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. If any geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets and individual securities may be adversely affected, and the value of a portfolio’s assets may decline. Additional examples of events that have led to fluctuations in markets include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments and businesses, elevated inflation levels and problems in the banking sector. Additionally, advancements in technologies such as AI may also adversely impact markets, disrupt existing industries and sectors and dislocate opportunities in the labor force, which could negatively affect the overall performance of a portfolio. Depositary Receipts Risk – Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. Derivatives Risk – A portfolio’s use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market risk are described below. Many over-the-counter (OTC) derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. A portfolio’s use of forwards and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of these risks could cause a portfolio to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the portfolio’s initial investment. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. The portfolio’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by investors. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and are in the process of implementing regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear. Duration Risk – Longer-term securities in which a portfolio may invest tend to be more volatile than shorter term securities. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration. Environment, Social and Governance Investment Criteria Risk – If a portfolio is subject to certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities, or may sell certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the application of a portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively or negatively, depending on whether these issuers, industries, 30  sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor. An adviser or vendor can vary materially from other ESG advisers and vendors with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios or screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a result, an adviser’s or vendor’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG advisers or vendors with respect to the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria is dependent on data and is subject to the risk that such data reported by issuers or received from third party sources may be subjective, or may be objective in principal but not verified or reliable. Equity Market Risk – The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Equity market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole. Equity markets may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term . Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk (including leveraged ETFs) – The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities or other instruments the ETF is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Leveraged ETFs contain all of the risks that non-leveraged ETFs present. Additionally, to the extent the portfolio invests in ETFs that achieve leveraged exposure to their underlying indexes through the use of derivative instruments, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to leverage risk, described below. Leveraged Inverse ETFs seek to provide investment results that match a negative multiple of the performance of an underlying index. To the extent that the portfolio invests in Leveraged Inverse ETFs, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to the risk that the performance of such ETF will fall as the performance of that ETF’s benchmark rises. Leveraged and Leveraged Inverse ETFs often “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. These investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose a portfolio to significant losses. When a portfolio invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF’s expenses. See also, “Exchange-Traded Products Risk”, below. Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) Risk —The risks of owning interests of an ETP, such as an ETF, ETN or exchange-traded commodity pool, generally reflect the same risks as owning the underlying securities or other instruments that the ETP is designed to track. The shares of certain ETPs may trade at a premium or discount to their intrinsic value (i.e., the market value may differ from the net asset value of an ETP’s shares). For example, supply and demand for shares of an ETF or market disruptions may cause the market price of the ETF to deviate from the value of the ETF’s investments, which may be emphasized in less liquid markets. The value of an ETN may also differ from the valuation of its reference market or instrument due to changes in the issuer’s credit rating. By investing in an ETP, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, the portfolio indirectly bears the proportionate share of any fees and expenses of the ETP. Because certain ETPs may have a significant portion of their assets exposed directly or indirectly to commodities or commodity-linked securities, developments affecting commodities may have a disproportionate impact on such ETPs and may subject the ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Extension Risk – The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security’s value. Fixed Income Market Risk— The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory 31  changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. Markets for fixed income securities may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long- term. In response to these events, a portfolio’s value may fluctuate. Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk – The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries. Investments in emerging markets are subject to the added risk that information in emerging market investments may be unreliable or outdated due to differences in regulatory, accounting or auditing and financial record keeping standards, or because less information about emerging market investments is publicly available. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with emerging market investments may be different than investments in developed markets. A lack of reliable information, rights and remedies increase the risks of investing in emerging markets in comparison to more developed markets. In addition, periodic U.S. Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the portfolio to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the portfolio. Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — The risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. Income Risk – The possibility that a portfolio’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. Inflation Protected Securities Risk – The value of inflation protected securities, including TIPS, generally will fluctuate in response to changes in “real” interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal (or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In addition, interest payments on inflation- indexed securities will generally vary up or down along with the rate of inflation. Interest Rate Risk – The risk that a change in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities in which the portfolio invests. Generally, the value of a portfolio’s fixed income securities will vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by a portfolio. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Interval Fund Risk – See also, “Investment Company Risk” below. Unlike many closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, an interval fund typically does not intend to list its shares for trading on any securities exchange and does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares in the foreseeable future. Therefore, an investment in an interval fund, unlike an investment in a typical closed-end fund, is not a liquid investment. An interval fund is designed primarily for long- term investors and not as a trading vehicle. An interval fund will, subject to applicable law, conduct quarterly repurchase offers of a portion of its outstanding shares at net asset value. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their Shares repurchased. Even though an interval fund will make quarterly repurchase offers, you should consider the Shares to be illiquid. 32  Investment Company Risk – When a portfolio invests in an investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company’s expenses. In addition, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, a portfolio may be subject to additional or different risks than if the portfolio had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, the lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. Closed-end investment companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value. As a result, a closed-end fund’s share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund See also, “Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) Risk,” and “Interval Fund Risk” above. Investment Style Risk – The risk that the portfolio’s strategy may underperform other segments of the markets or the markets as a whole. Large Capitalization Risk – The risk that larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies. Leverage Risk – A portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in the portfolio’s total investment exposure substantially exceeding the value of its securities and the portfolio’s investment returns depending substantially on the performance of securities that the portfolio may not directly own. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the portfolio's value and may also cause the portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The portfolio’s use of leverage may result in a heightened risk of investment loss. Liquidity Risk – The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the portfolio would like. The portfolio may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on portfolio management or performance. Master Limited Partnership (MLP) Risk – Investments in units of master limited partnerships involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of master limited partnerships have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment in units of master limited partnerships. In addition, conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders, subordinated unit holders and the general partner of a master limited partnership, including a conflict arising as a result of incentive distribution payments. The benefit the portfolio derives from investment in MLP units is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships and not as corporations for federal income tax purposes. If an MLP were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, there would be reduction in the after- tax return to the portfolio of distributions from the MLP, likely causing a reduction in the value of the portfolio. MLP entities are typically focused in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors of the economy could have an adverse impact on the portfolio. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Money Market Funds – With respect to an investment in money market funds, an investment in the money market fund is not a bank deposit nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund may seek to maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, you may lose money by investing in the money market fund. The money market fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. This could have a significant adverse effect on the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, and, in extreme circumstances, could cause the money market fund to suspend redemptions and liquidate completely. 33  Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk – Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage- backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the portfolio’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the portfolio’s expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancing and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the portfolio. Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk – Mortgage dollar rolls, or “covered rolls,” are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities (usually mortgage-backed securities) and simultaneously contracts to repurchase, typically in 30 or 60 days, substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, a portfolio forgoes principal and interest paid on such securities. A portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “drop”), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. At the end of the roll commitment period, a portfolio may or may not take delivery of the securities it has contracted to purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash settlement and initially may involve only a firm commitment agreement by the portfolio to buy a security. A “covered roll” is a specific type of mortgage dollar roll for which there is an offsetting cash position or cash equivalent securities position that matures on or before the forward settlement date of the mortgage dollar roll transaction. As used herein, the term “mortgage dollar roll” refers to mortgage dollar rolls that are not “covered rolls.” If the broker-dealer to whom a portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Other risks involved in entering into mortgage dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the security may change adversely over the term of the mortgage dollar roll and that the security a portfolio is required to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the portfolio originally held. Municipal Securities Risk – Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer- term securities usually respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer’s current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by a portfolio. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of a portfolio’s holdings. As a result, a portfolio will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a portfolio that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be underwritten or guaranteed by a relatively small number of financial services firms, so changes in the municipal securities market that affect those firms may decrease the availability of municipal instruments in the market, thereby making it difficult to identify and obtain appropriate investments for the portfolio. Also, there may be economic or political changes that impact the ability of issuers of municipal securities to repay principal and to make interest 34  payments on securities owned by the portfolio. Any changes in the financial condition of municipal issuers also may adversely affect the value of the portfolio’s securities. Non-Diversified Risk – To the extent that a portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers, it may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. Opportunity Risk – The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other investments. Options — An option is a contract between two parties for the purchase and sale of a financial instrument for a specified price at any time during the option period. Unlike a futures contract, an option grants the purchaser, in exchange for a premium payment, a right (not an obligation) to buy or sell a financial instrument. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. The seller of an uncovered call (buy) option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the call option without ever getting the opportunity to execute the option. The seller (writer) of a covered put (sell) option (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) will suffer a loss if the increase in the market price of the underlying security is greater than the premium received from the buyer of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the put option without ever getting the opportunity to exercise the option. An option’s time value (i.e., the component of the option’s value that exceeds the in-the-money amount) tends to diminish over time. Even though an option may be in-the-money to the buyer at various times prior to its expiration date, the buyer’s ability to realize the value of an option depends on when and how the option may be exercised. For example, the terms of a transaction may provide for the option to be exercised automatically if it is in-the-money on the expiration date. Conversely, the terms may require timely delivery of a notice of exercise, and exercise may be subject to other conditions (such as the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, such as knock-in, knock-out or other barrier events) and timing requirements, including the “style” of the option. Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) though a portfolio will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security. Overlay Risk – To the extent that a client’s portfolio is implemented through an overlay manager, it is subject to the risk that its performance may deviate from the performance of a sub-advisor’s model or the performance of other proprietary or client accounts over which the sub-advisor retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). The overlay manager’s variation from the sub-advisor’s model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including under performance. The overlay manager will vary from a model portfolio to, among other reasons, implement tax management strategies, as applicable, and security restrictions. The overlay manager is restricted from purchasing certain securities due to the issuer’s affiliation with SEI or the overlay manager, or due to the overlay manager’s compliance with laws, regulations, and policies that apply to the business activities of its affiliates. In addition, a sub- advisor may implement its model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to the overlay manager. In these circumstances, trades placed by the overlay manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the client’s portfolio receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the sub-advisor for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded. 35  Portfolio Turnover Risk – To the extent that a portfolio buys and sells securities frequently, such activity may result in higher transaction costs and taxes subject to ordinary income tax rates as opposed to more favorable capital gains rates, which may affect the portfolio’s performance. To the extent that a portfolio invests in an underlying fund the portfolio will have no control over the turnover of the underlying fund. Prepayment Risk – The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring a portfolio to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates. Private Placements Risk – Investment in privately placed securities, including interests in private equity and hedge funds, may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the portfolio, the carrying value of such securities or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. Quantitative Investing – A quantitative investment style generally involves the use of computers to implement a systematic or rules-based approach to selecting investments based on specific measurable factors. Due to the significant role technology plays in such strategies, they carry the risk of unintended or unrecognized issues or flaws in the design, coding, implementation or maintenance of the computer programs or technology used in the development and implementation of the quantitative strategy. These issues or flaws, which can be difficult to identify, may result in the implementation of a portfolio that is different from that which was intended, and could negatively impact investment returns. Such risks should be viewed as an inherent element of investing in an investment strategy that relies heavily upon quantitative models and computerization. Utility interruptions or other key systems outages also can impair the performance of quantitative investment strategies. Reallocation Risk – SIMC constructs and maintains global asset allocation strategies for certain Clients, and the SEI funds are designed in part to implement those Strategies. Within the Strategies, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the mutual funds to ensure that the appropriate mix of assets is in place. SIMC also may create new Strategies that reflect significant changes in allocation among the mutual funds. Because a significant portion of the assets in the mutual funds may be attributable to investors in Strategies controlled or influenced by SIMC, this reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the mutual funds. Although reallocations are intended to benefit investors that invest in the mutual funds through the Strategies, they could, in certain cases, have a detrimental effect on the mutual funds. Such detrimental effects could include: transaction costs, capital gains and other expenses resulting from an increase in portfolio turnover; and disruptions to the portfolio management strategy, such as foregone investment opportunities or the inopportune sale of securities to facilitate redemptions. Real Estate Industry Risk – Securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may be subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. If a portfolio’s investments are concentrated in issuers conducting business in the real estate industry, the portfolio is subject to risks associated with legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting that industry. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) – REITs are trusts that invest primarily in commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. Investments in REITs are subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate which is discussed above. Some REITs may have limited diversification and may be subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of properties. Repurchase Agreement Risk — Although a portfolio’s repurchase agreement transactions will be fully collateralized at all times, they generally create leverage and involve some counterparty risk to the 36  portfolio whereby a defaulting counterparty could delay or prevent the portfolio’s recovery of collateral. Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk- Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities to financial institutions, such as banks and broker-dealers, and agrees to repurchase them at a mutually agreed-upon date and price that is higher than the original sale price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve risks. Reverse repurchase agreements are a form of leverage, and the use of reverse repurchase agreements by a portfolio may increase volatility. Reverse repurchase agreements are also subject to the risk that the other party to the reverse repurchase agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a portfolio may decline below the price at which it is obligated to repurchase the securities. In addition, when a portfolio invests the proceeds it receives in a reverse repurchase transaction, there is a risk that those investments may decline in value. In this circumstance, the portfolio could be required to sell other investments in order to meet its obligations to repurchase the securities. Risks of Cyber-Attacks - As with any entity that conducts business through electronic means in the modern marketplace, a portfolio, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized monitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential information, unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the portfolio and its service providers use to service the portfolio’s operations, ransomware, operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the portfolio and its service providers, or various other forms of cyber security breaches. Cyber-attacks affecting a portfolio may adversely impact the portfolio potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses or the inability of to transact business. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of transactions, cause the release of private portfolio information or confidential information, impede trading, subject the portfolio to regulatory fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. The portfolio may also incur additional costs for cyber security risk management purposes designed to mitigate or prevent the risk of cyber-attacks. Such costs may be ongoing because threats of cyber-attacks are constantly evolving as cyber attackers become more sophisticated and their techniques become more complex. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which a portfolio may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the portfolio’s investment in such companies to lose value. There can be no assurance that the portfolio, its service providers, or the issuers of the securities in which it invests will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future. Sampling Risk – With respect to investments in index funds or a portfolio designed to track the performance of an index, a fund or portfolio may not fully replicate a benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund or portfolio may not track the return of its benchmark index as well as it would have if the fund or portfolio purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index. Short Sales— When a portfolio engages in short sales, the proceeds from the sales may be used to purchase long positions in additional equity securities believed will outperform the market or its peers. This strategy may effectively result in the portfolio having a leveraged investment portfolio, which results in greater potential for loss. Leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on a portfolio’s share price and make it’s returns more volatile. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the securities. The use of leverage may also cause a portfolio to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. Small and Medium Capitalization Risk – Small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. 37  Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over the counter (OTC). OTC stocks may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than exchange-listed stocks and may have more price volatility than that of exchange-listed stocks. Structured Securities Risk – A portfolio may invest a portion of assets in entities organized and operated solely for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics of sovereign debt obligations of emerging market issuers. This type of restructuring involves the deposit with, or purchase by, an entity, such as a corporation or trust, of specified instruments (such as commercial bank loans or Brady Bonds) and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of securities (“Structured Securities”) backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying instruments. The cash flow on the underlying instruments may be apportioned among the newly issued Structured Securities to create securities with different investment characteristics, such as varying maturities, payment priorities and interest rate provisions, and the extent of the payments made with respect to Structured Securities is dependent on the extent of the cash flow on the underlying instruments. Because Structured Securities of the type in which the portfolio anticipates it will invest typically involve no credit enhancement, the credit risk will generally be equivalent to that of the underlying instruments. A portfolio is permitted to invest in a class of Structured Securities that is either subordinated or unsubordinated to the right of payment of another class. Subordinated Structured Securities typically have higher yields and present greater risks than unsubordinated Structured Securities. Structured Securities are typically sold in private placement transactions, and there currently is no active trading market for Structured Securities. Certain issuers of such Structured Securities may be deemed to be “investment companies” as defined in the 1940 Act. Taxation Risk – 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. Unless otherwise disclosed, tax-management techniques are limited to, and take into consideration only, the securities held within the individual client account managed by SIMC. The impact of such tax management techniques and strategies may be reduced or eliminated as a result of securities and trading activities in other accounts owned by client, including other client accounts managed by SIMC. 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. A portfolio that is managed to reduce tax consequences to Clients will likely still earn taxable income and gains from time to time, including income subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. In certain instances, when harvesting losses from the sale of an ETF or mutual fund (Original Fund), SIMC may seek to avoid a wash sale while maintaining exposure to the desired asset class. SIMC may do so through the purchase of another ETF or mutual fund (Secondary Fund). Certain strategies may require SIMC to sell the Secondary Fund upon the expiration of the wash-sale period and return to the Original Fund, which may result in a short-term gain. Such gain may exceed harvested losses. Certain strategies may also require SIMC to redeem from an Original Fund when a suitable fund becomes available from a specified fund family, which may result in short- or long-term gains. Certain portfolio assets may be subject to Section 351 tax treatment. The availability of Section 351 treatment depends on the satisfaction of specific legal and factual requirements, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question or successfully challenge the qualification of any such contribution, whether at the time of contribution or in a subsequent examination. If a contribution of securities is ultimately determined not to qualify for Section 351 treatment, the contribution would be treated as a taxable transaction, and the contributing shareholder would recognize gain or loss on the contributed securities at the time of the contribution. If such a determination is made after the contribution, the shareholder may have previously misreported the tax consequences of the transaction and could be required to amend prior tax returns. In addition, any subsequent disposition of fund shares by the contributing shareholder could be affected by an incorrect initial tax basis, resulting in additional tax liability, interest, or penalties. In order to pay tax-exempt interest, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the portfolio to shareholders to be taxable. Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of tax-exempt securities to fall. The federal income tax treatment on payments with respect to certain derivative contracts is unclear. Consequently, a portfolio may receive payments that are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. To the extent a portfolio invests in ETFs, mutual funds or other pooled products, you should review the 38  applicable prospectus or offering document for additional tax disclosure, including relevant risks. Neither SIMC nor its affiliates provide tax advice. To-Be-Announced (TBA) Transactions — A portfolio may be exposed to TBA transactions risk through its investments in derivatives. In TBA transactions, the selling counterparty does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the purchasing counterparty agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the portfolio’s other assets. In addition, the selling counterparty may not deliver the security as promised. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the portfolio to potential loss and could affect the portfolio’s returns. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to the settlement date. Tracking Error Risk – 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 portfolio's investments and the components of the index and other factors. Underlying Funds Risk – With respect to portfolios that invest in underlying funds, additional investment risk exists because the value of such investments is based primarily on the performance of the underlying funds. Specifically with respect to alternative funds, the entity’s sponsors will make investment and management decisions. Therefore, an underlying fund’s returns are dependent on the investment decisions made by its management and the portfolio will not participate in the management or control the investment decisions of the alternative fund. Further, the returns on a portfolio may be negatively impacted by liquidity restrictions imposed by the governing documents of an alternative fund such as “lock-up” periods, gates, redemption fees and management’s ability to suspend redemptions (in certain cases). Such lock-up periods, gates or suspensions may restrict the portfolio’s ability to exit from an alternative fund in accordance with the intended business plan and prevent the portfolio from liquidating its position upon favorable terms. All of these factors may limit the portfolio’s return under certain circumstances. U.S. Government Securities Risk – Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are still subject to the credit risk of the U.S. Government and are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so. Warrants Risk - Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Warrants may be more speculative than other types of investments. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. Voting Client Securities SIMC has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that SIMC votes proxies in the best interest of its clients. SIMC has retained a third-party proxy voting service (the “Service”), to vote proxies with respect to applicable SIMC clients in accordance with approved guidelines (the “Guidelines”), and may deviate from voting in accordance with the Guidelines in certain limited exception scenarios (see below). SIMC also has a proxy voting committee (the “Committee”), comprised of SIMC employees, which approves the proxy voting guidelines or approves how SIMC should vote in certain scenarios. So long as the Service votes proxies in accordance with the Guidelines, SIMC maintains that there is an appropriate presumption that the manner in which SIMC voted was not influenced by, and did not result from, a conflict of interest. 39  In addition to retaining the Service, SIMC has also engaged a separate third- party vendor to assist with company engagement services (the “Engagement Service”). The Engagement Service strives to help investors manage reputational risk and increase corporate accountability through proactive, professional and constructive engagement. As a result of this process, the Engagement Service will at times provide to SIMC recommendations that may conflict with the Guidelines (see below for more detail). SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendation, in certain/limited scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Service’s recommendation. The exercise of such right could implicate a conflict of interest. As a result, SIMC may not overrule the Service’s recommendation with respect to a proxy unless the following steps are taken: a. The Committee meets to consider the proposal to overrule the Service’s recommendation. b. The Committee determines whether SIMC has a conflict of interest with respect to the issuer that is the subject of the proxy. If the Committee determines that SIMC has a conflict of interest, the Committee then determines whether the conflict is “material” to any specific proposal included within the proxy. If not, then SIMC can vote the proxy as determined by the Committee. c. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC has a material conflict of interest, SIMC may vote a proxy regarding that proposal in any of the following manners: 1. Obtain Client Consent or Direction – If the Committee approves the proposal to overrule the recommendation of the Service, SIMC must fully disclose to each client holding the security at issue the nature of the conflict, and obtain the client’s consent to how SIMC will vote on the proposal (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client as to how the proxy on the proposal should be voted). 2. Use Recommendation of the Service – Vote in accordance with the Service’s recommendation. d. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC does not have a material conflict of interest, the Committee may overrule the Service’s recommendation if the Committee reasonably determines that doing so is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients. If the Committee decides to overrule the Service’s recommendation, the Committee will maintain a written record setting forth the basis of the Committee’s decision. Notwithstanding these policies and procedures, actual proxy voting decisions of SIMC may have the effect of favoring the interests of other clients or businesses of SIMC and/or its affiliates, provided that SIMC believes such voting decisions to be in accordance with its fiduciary obligations. In some cases, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients to abstain from voting certain proxies. SIMC will abstain from voting in the event any of the following conditions are met with regard to a proxy proposal: • Neither the Guidelines nor specific client instructions cover an issue; • The Service does not make a recommendation on the issue; • In circumstances where, in SIMC’s judgment, the costs of voting the proxy exceed the expected benefits to clients; Share blocking; • • The Committee is unable to convene on the proxy proposal to make a determination as to what would be in the client’s best interest..; and • Proxies in foreign jurisdictions where the requirements necessary to vote are not practical and create an administrative hurdle that SIMC is unable to clear in the required (usually limited) time frame. 40  Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting mutual fund proxies for any and all mutual funds maintained in client portfolios. With respect to proxies of an affiliated investment company or series thereof (e.g., the SEI U.S. mutual funds) SIMC will vote such proxies in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders of the investment company or series thereof (i.e., “echo vote” or “mirror vote”). Client Directed Votes. SIMC clients who have delegated voting responsibility to SIMC with respect to their account may from time to time contact their client representative if they would like to direct SIMC to vote in a particular solicitation. SIMC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to vote according to the client’s request in these circumstances, and cannot provide assurances that such voting requests will be implemented. Clients may only direct votes with respect to securities held directly by the client. The client may not direct votes for securities held by an SEI Fund or Pooled Investment Vehicle unless otherwise disclosed in such products prospectus or offering documents. As noted above, SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendations in certain scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Guidelines. In all such cases, this requires the Committee to rule out any material conflict (as noted above) prior to overriding the Guidelines. Areas where SIMC may consider overriding the Guidelines include: Requests by third-party sub-advisers within the SEI U.S. mutual funds to direct certain votes; and Recommendations by the Engagement Service. • • Clients may obtain a copy of SIMC’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request. Clients may also obtain information from SIMC about how SIMC voted any proxies on behalf of their account(s) by either referring to Form N-PX (for SEI Funds) or by contacting your client service representative. Certain SIMC clients have either retained the ability to vote proxies with respect to their account, or have delegated that proxy voting authority to a third-party selected by the client. In those circumstances, SIMC is not responsible for voting proxies in the account or for overseeing the voting of such proxies by the client or its designated agent. With respect to those clients for which SIMC does not conduct proxy voting, clients should work with their custodians to ensure they receive their proxies and other solicitations for securities held in their account. Clients may contact their client service representative if they have a question on particular proxy voting matters or solicitations. Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers SIMC and the Independent Advisor collect various information about the Client prior to opening an account including, without limitation: Client name, type of account, social security number, investment objective, investment strategy and investment restrictions. SIMC also sends to sub-advisors reasonably requested information regarding the Client including, but not limited to: Client account number, account name, whether the account is taxable or non-taxable, investment guidelines and restrictions and, for fixed income strategies, state of residence and social security numbers. SIMC will send updates to the sub-advisors regarding this information on an as-needed basis. Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers Client may contact SIMC or sub-advisors responsible for their account directly, but are encouraged to contact their Independent Advisor first. Item 9 – Additional Information 41  Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of SIMC or the integrity of SIMC’s management. SIMC has no information applicable to this Item. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations SIMC, which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SEIC, may hire affiliates and third parties to perform services for SIMC and its Clients. Some of these relationships could create conflicts of interest. These relationships are described below. Hiring of Managers and Sub-Advisors As a manager-of-managers, SIMC hires sub-advisors to provide day-to-day securities selection for many of its investment products. SIMC has hired an affiliated advisor, LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), to serve as sub-advisor to some of SIMC’s investment products. Specifically, SIMC’s parent company, SEIC, maintains a minority ownership interest (approximately 39% as of December 31, 2024) in LSV, which is a sub-advisor to the Funds and MAS. SIMC is incentivized to hire and recommend LSV as a sub-advisor to increase its earnings with respect to its ownership interest. To mitigate this conflict of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it is affiliated or unaffiliated is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable program and/or strategy offering. Additionally, to the extent LSV is managing SEI Fund assets, it is subject to the same Board of Trustees approval process as non-affiliated sub-advisors and the affiliation is disclosed in the SEI Fund prospectuses. SIMC also hires sub-advisors for its investment products who may also be investment advisors/sub-advisors to other investment products offered by SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Therefore, SIMC has an incentive to recommend a firm for sub-advisory services for its investment products because they are also providing services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. To mitigate this conflict of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated service noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable program and/or strategy offering. Additionally, some of the sub-advisors that SIMC selects for its Funds and MAS, and some of the managers reviewed for our Manager Research Services described in Item 6, are also customers of SEIC for other services and products (e.g., technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn-key pooled product solutions) for which SIMC’s affiliates are also compensated, which could influence SIMC’s decisions when recommending or retaining sub-advisors. To mitigate these conflicts of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEI program and/or strategy offering. Also, potential conflicts identified are raised to the Board of Trustees of the SEI Funds or to SIMC’s compliance team prior to the sub-advisor being hired by SIMC. Investment Products SIMC not only provides investment management and advisory services to individuals and institutions, it also serves as the investment advisor to its investment products, including the SEI Funds (including subsidiaries of such Funds), SEI ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds and collective investment funds (each of which is offered to clients through a separate market unit). Additionally, as described in this Brochure, SIMC is the sponsor of MAS. Accordingly, Clients pay SIMC investment advisory fees which are agreed to in the Client’s investment advisory agreement, and pay SIMC investment advisory fees through the underlying investment products. However, SIMC generally, and to the extent required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and other applicable law, will credit any advisory fees earned by SIMC with respect to a Client’s investment in an underlying investment product against that Client’s account level fee. SEI Funds and SEI ETFs 42  Other affiliates of SIMC provide various services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (including subsidiaries of such Funds), for which they receive compensation. Specifically, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SGFS”) serves as administrator, SEI Institutional Transfer Agent, Inc. (“SITA”) serves as transfer agent, and SIDCO, serves as the distributor of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. SIDCO and SPTC also provide shareholder services with respect to the SEI Funds and SEI ETF. SIMC, SGFS, SIDCO and SPTC receive fees from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs determined as a percentage of the applicable fund's total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a Client invests in the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs, SIMC’s affiliates benefit from the investment in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for a Client, if applicable, such investments will be allocated in a manner which SIMC determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances in respect to all of its other clients. Some SEI Funds are “funds-of-funds,” meaning that an SEI Fund will invest in underlying funds, which in most cases will be other SEI Funds. When an SEI Fund invests in underlying SEI Funds, SIMC is advisor to both the fund-of-funds and the underlying SEI Funds and is paid an advisory fee by both Funds. As a result, SIMC could select those underlying SEI Funds that pay higher advisory fees to SIMC. To mitigate this risk, the SEI Funds are overseen by the SEI Funds Board of Trustees, which ensures that SIMC does not factor in the level of fees in its decision in the allocation of underlying SEI Funds in the fund-of- funds. SEI Alternative Funds Affiliates of SIMC (SEI Funds, Inc. and SEI Investment Strategies, LLC) serve as the general partner or director to several of the SEI Alternative Funds. SEI Global Services, Inc. or SEI Investments Global (Cayman) Limited also serves as administrator and transfer agent to certain SEI Alternative Funds. Collective Trust Funds SEI Trust Company (”STC”), a Pennsylvania chartered trust company, serves as trustee and investment manager to various collective trust funds in which SIMC invests certain client’s assets (to the extent they are eligible). SIMC also acts as an investment advisor to STC, and SITA as transfer agent, with respect to the various collective trust funds offered by STC. Non-U.S. Investors SIMC serves as investment advisor to proprietary Irish-regulated UCITS Funds (and other alternative investment funds), which are sold to non-US investors. SIMC also serves as sub-advisor to several proprietary Canadian-registered mutual funds to which SIMC’s affiliates serve as advisor. Affiliated Custodian and Cash Management Services Clients are required to custody their MAS accounts at SIMC’s affiliate, SPTC, a limited purpose federal savings association. In connection with providing shareholder services to Clients invested in the SEI Funds, SPTC generally receives a shareholder service fee from the SEI Funds for providing those services, although SPTC may reduce or waive its custodial fees on Client’s holding of these funds. To the extent that SIMC serves as investment adviser in connection with strategies investing in SEI Funds, SPTC’s receipt of these shareholder service fees represents a conflict of interest for SIMC in that due to SPTC’s receipt of such fees SIMC has an incentive to select SEI Funds over non-proprietary funds. SEI Integrated Cash Program and Conflicts of Interest. IAS Client accounts custodied at SPTC must participate in the SEI Integrated Cash Program. No other cash management programs are available to Client accounts custodied at SPTC. Under the SEI Integrated Cash Program SPTC will transfer or “sweep” all (i) required Integrated Cash Program amounts (described below) and (ii) uninvested or unallocated cash in Clients’ SPTC accounts into deposit accounts eligible for insurance by the FDIC (“FDIC Sweep”). FDIC Sweep amounts are deposited through a network of individual “Sweep Banks.” These deposits are eligible for FDIC insurance up to the maximum amount permitted by the FDIC, currently $250,000 for all deposits held in the same ownership category at each Sweep Bank. 43  Client participation in the Integrated Cash Program results in significant financial benefits for SPTC and its affiliates. SPTC receives compensation from the Sweep Banks in connection with maintaining the FDIC Sweep (the “Bank Sweep Fee”). The Bank Sweep Fee charged by SPTC is not based on SPTC’s costs in connection with maintaining the Program and is in addition to other compensation received by SPTC (and its affiliates) with respect to your account. A committee made up of SEIC-employed individuals that serve as SPTC and SIMC employees or officers (the “Interest Rate Committee”) has sole discretion to set the Bank Sweep Fee, and thus SPTC and SIMC directly determine how much of the interest the banks pay on FDIC Sweep to Clients and how much SPTC retains as Bank Sweep Fee compensation. This discretion in setting the Bank Sweep Fee creates a conflict between the interests of Clients and the interests of SPTC and SIMC, in that the Interest Rate Committee’s determination of the Bank Sweep Fee affects the interest Clients earn on their FDIC Sweep. The higher the Bank Sweep Fee paid to SPTC, the lower the interest paid by the Sweep Banks to Clients; the lower the Bank Sweep Fee paid to SPTC, the higher the interest paid by the Sweep Banks to Clients. In connection with servicing accounts, SPTC requires a minimum of 1% of a Client’s account to be invested in the SEI Integrated Cash Program. Clients cannot opt out of this requirement when custodying assets at SPTC. As a result, a Client’s MAS account, which is required to be custodied at SPTC, will have a minimum of 1% of their account invested in FDIC Sweep. In most cases, SIMC’s model allocations, including all accounts invested in MAS, reflect this cash requirement. This 1% minimum investment requirement results in conflicts of interest for SPTC and SIMC. In particular, because the amount of the Bank Sweep Fee SPTC receives is based on the amount of Client assets invested in FDIC Sweep, SPTC and SIMC have an incentive to set the minimum cash requirement at a level that maximizes revenue for SPTC. To the extent a MAS Account exceeds the Integrated Cash Program required cash allocation (i.e., the Portfolio Manager elects to allocate more than 1% of the Account value to cash), as discussed in Item 6 absent instructions to the contrary from the Portfolio Manager such amounts will not be allocated to the Integrated Cash Program but be invested at the direction of the Portfolio Manager into F class shares of the SEI Daily Income Trust Government II Fund. If a Portfolio Manager opts out of this money market fund option and does not otherwise directly allocate such cash to other short-term investment options, the Portfolio Manager’s excess cash allocations will systematically be allocated to the Insured Cash Program and invested in FDIC Sweep. Except as described above and in Item 6, MAS Portfolio Managers do not have options other than the SEI money market fund or the FDIC Sweep available to programmatically invest their cash allocations. As discussed in Item 4, the use of an SEI money market fund for Portfolio Manager cash allocations results in conflicts of interest based on the revenue it generates for SIMC, SPTC and their affiliates. Also, as discussed in Item 9, the use of FDIC Sweep for Portfolio Manager cash allocations results in conflicts of interest based on revenue it generates for SPTC. The Bank Sweep Fee is in addition to the fees earned by SPTC (and its affiliates) with respect to the SEI Funds. The Bank Sweep Fee may be up to a maximum of the Federal Funds Target Rate (as can be found online at https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DFEDTARU) plus 0.25% as determined by the total deposit balances at all of the Sweep Banks over a 12-month rolling period. Additionally, the third-party administrator of the FDIC Sweep (the “FDIC Sweep Administrator”) is paid fees by: (1) SPTC on a portion of the FDIC Sweep balances; and (2) Sweep Banks on the remaining portion of FDIC Sweep balances. SPTC also pays the bank maintaining the deposit account that initially settles deposits to the deposit accounts (the “Settlement Bank”) for the banking services it provides. Absent unusual circumstances, SPTC receives the majority of the amount paid by the Sweep Banks with respect to FDIC Sweep. Depending on interest rates and other factors, the interest to your account from the FDIC Sweep may be lower than the aggregate fees received by SPTC for your participation in the FDIC Sweep. This can result in your account experiencing negative overall investment return with respect to your FDIC Sweep investments. The Bank Sweep Fee is an important and significant source of revenue to SPTC and, indirectly, to SEIC. SPTC can raise and reduce its Bank Sweep Fee in its discretion. The amount of interest and fees the Sweep Banks are willing to pay varies, and is expected to continue to vary, from participating Sweep Bank to Sweep Bank. This creates a conflict for SPTC when selecting participating Sweep Banks in that it incentivizes SPTC (and the FDIC Sweep Administrator) to select and allocate FDIC Sweep to Sweep Banks that pay higher all-in rates. Participating Sweep Banks may also be clients of SPTC, creating an incentive 44  to favor those banks over banks that are not clients of SPTC, resulting in a conflict of interest. The Bank Sweep Fee paid to SPTC can be greater or less than compensation paid to other platform custodians (who provide similar account-type services) with regard to cash sweep vehicles. The interest rate your FDIC Sweep earns can be lower than interest rates available to depositors making deposits directly with the same bank or with other depository institutions. Banks have a conflict of interest with respect to setting interest rates and do not have a duty to provide the highest rates available on the market and may instead seek to pay a low rate; lower rates are more financially beneficial to a bank. There is no necessary linkage between the FDIC Sweep’s rate of interest and other rates available in the market, including money market mutual fund rates. SPTC expects the Bank Sweep Fee it receives from Sweep Banks to be at a significantly higher rate than any service fee it will receive from money market mutual funds (or their service providers). In addition, in most interest rate environments, it is expected that deposits held as part of the FDIC Sweep will pay a significantly lower interest rate to you than other cash equivalent products that your Independent Advisor may choose in investing other portions of your account. This is a conflict of interest for SPTC in that SPTC expects to receive significantly greater compensation on Clients’ FDIC Sweep cash than it would on equivalent amounts held in other available investments. This conflict influences SPTC to require that a portion of Clients’ accounts be invested in the SEI Integrated Cash Program. For accounts not subject to a wrap fee, all applicable account-level advisory fees (including your Independent Advisor’s advisory fee) are assessed on 100% of the value of account assets on an ongoing basis, even though the amounts held in the SEI Integrated Cash Program do not receive any investment advisory or brokerage services. (They do receive administrative and custodial services.) In addition, accounts not subject to a wrap fee are not assessed SPTC’s custody fee with respect to amounts allocated to FDIC Sweep. Nevertheless, when looked at jointly, SIMC and SPTC may receive more compensation in connection with Client assets invested in the SEI Integrated Cash Program than client assets invested in the advisory program strategies discussed in this Brochure. For accounts subject to a wrap fee, amounts held in FDIC Sweep are not assessed the wrap fee. In most interest-rate environments, applicable fees earned by SPTC in the Integrated Cash Program will exceed the amount of interest paid to accounts on the amounts held in the SEI Integrated Cash Program. Limited FDIC Sweep Exclusions. In limited cases certain MAS accounts are not eligible for FDIC Sweep within the Integrated Cash Program (e.g., accounts established under Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b)(7)). In these cases the Integrated Cash Program will sweep cash, including any required 1% minimums, as discussed above, into shares of the SEI Daily Income Trust Government II Fund, a SIMC-managed money market fund (the “Money Market Sweep”). It is important for Clients to understand that cash balances in Money Market Sweep are not eligible for FDIC insurance. SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates receive economic benefit for shares held in Money Market Sweep. The fee paid to SPTC is for shareholder servicing and other services with respect to amounts invested in the Program. SIMC (and its affiliates) receive advisory, administrative and other fees from (and with respect to) investments in Money Market Sweep. SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates would not typically receive these fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds, and as a result, these fees create an incentive to select the Money Market Sweep instead of other money market funds that do not pay these fees. As a result of the fees SPTC, SIMC and their affiliates receive in connection with Money Market Sweep, there is an incentive for SPTC and SIMC to require that available cash balances are swept into the Money Market Sweep. Due to these fees, SPTC and SIMC realize more benefits as more of the assets in your Account are allocated Money Market Sweep. Furthermore, the longer client assets are held in Money Market Sweep, the greater the fee revenue SPTC, SIMC and its affiliates receive. Additional information on the SEI Integrated Cash Program, including current interest rates associated with FDIC Sweep and the SEI Integrated Cash Program Disclosure Document, can be found at seic.com/InsuredDepositCash. SPTC delivers the SEI Integrated Cash Program Disclosure Document to Clients at or prior to the time they begin participating in the SEI Integrated Cash Program and Clients should refer to that document for more information on the program and how it operates. Additional 45  copies can be obtained from your Independent Advisor upon request. SPTC may also provide trust, custody and/or record-keeping services to SIMC’s other clients, including some of the Pooled Investment Vehicles. Affiliated Broker-Dealer As explained in Item 6 of this Brochure, SIMC or sub-advisors will execute certain brokerage transactions using SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO. And, SIMC will generally execute all equity trading in MAS and in the SEI ETFs through SIDCO. SIDCO also receives shareholder service, administration service and/or distribution fees from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, portions of which are paid by SIDCO to affiliates or third parties that provide such services. SIDCO also receives distribution or creation unit servicer fees from certain third-party ETFs and their sponsors when providing services to those firms under services agreements between SIDCO and such firms. A conflict of interest exists because SIDCO may earn additional fees to the extent that such ETFs are purchased by an SEI Fund or as part of MAS. SIMC anticipates that any resultant increase in fees payable to SIDCO would be immaterial. In addition, certain SIMC employees are also registered representatives of SIDCO. Such individuals do not receive additional compensation by virtue of their role with SIDCO. See Item 4 for additional information on SIMC’s use of broker-dealers, including SIDCO. Commodity Pool Operator and SWAP Firm SIMC is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) and Swap Firm with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and certain SIMC employees are registered with the CFTC as Principals and/or Associated Persons. Code of Ethics and Personal Trading When SIMC employees have access to nonpublic information, conflicts may arise between the interests of the employee and those of the client. For example, a SIMC employee could gain information on the purchase or sale of securities by a SIMC client, or portfolio holdings information for a particular client. The SIMC employee could use this information to take advantage of available investment opportunities, take an investment opportunity from a client for the employee’s own portfolio, or front-run (which occurs when an employee trades in his or her personal account before making client transactions). As a fiduciary, SIMC owes a duty of loyalty to clients, which requires that a SIMC employee must always place the interests of clients first and foremost and shall not take inappropriate advantage of his/her position. Thus, SIMC personnel must conduct themselves and their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not create conflicts with the firm. SIMC has adopted a Code of Ethics to reinforce to its employees SIMC’s principles of integrity and ethics, and to enforce compliance with applicable regulations and best practices. Under the SIMC Code of Ethics, SIMC employees that are characterized as Access Persons and their family members with whom they reside must disclose personal securities holdings and personal securities transactions. Access Persons are SIMC employees that have access to non-public information regarding any client’s purchase or sale of securities or who are involved in making, or have non-public access to, securities recommendations to clients. Access Persons are also subject to certain trade pre-clearance and reporting standards for their personal securities transactions. Additionally, certain Access Persons may not purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any “Covered Security” (which is defined in the Code) within 24 hours before or after the time that the same Covered Security is being purchased or sold in any SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Some Access Persons may not purchase or sell such securities within seven days of a transaction for a SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Certain Access Persons also may not profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of a Covered Security within 60 days of acquiring or disposing of beneficial ownership of that Covered Security. Finally, Access Persons may not acquire securities as part of an initial public offering or a private placement transaction without the prior consent of SIMC Compliance. The Code of Ethics also includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information and market timing, and also incorporates SEIC’s insider trading policy by reference. All supervised persons at SIMC are trained on the Code of Ethics and must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics upon hire and on an annual 46  basis. SIMC anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which SIMC has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which SIMC, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. SIMC’s employees and persons associated with SIMC are required to follow SIMC’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of SIMC and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for SIMC’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of SIMC will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is monitored under the Code of Ethics, to seek to prevent conflicts of interest between SIMC and its clients. Clients and prospects may request a copy of SIMC’s Code of Ethics by e-mailing SIMCCompliance@seic.com or sending a request to: SEI Investments Management Corporation, Attn: SIMC Compliance, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions (Side-By-Side Management) As explained above, among its other recommendations, SIMC makes recommendations to certain Clients to invest in Pooled Investment Vehicles to which SIMC also serves as investment advisor when SIMC believes such recommendation is appropriate for the Client. For example, SIMC, as investment manager to a Client, may recommend that they invest in the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds, SEI Interval Funds or a managed account, or a private fund, where SIMC also serves as investment advisor and receives a fee for those services. This creates a conflict of interest whereby SIMC has a financial incentive to recommend an unsuitable SIMC investment product to a SIMC client in order for SIMC and its affiliates to receive additional fees. SIMC discloses its fees in the offering documents for each Pooled Investment Vehicle. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for a client, if applicable, such investments will be allocated in a manner which SIMC determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances in respect to all of its other clients. SIMC and its affiliates in some instances advise one client or take actions for a client, for itself, for its affiliates, or for their related persons that are different from the advice given or actions taken for other clients. SIMC, its affiliates, and their related persons are not obligated to buy or sell for a client any investment that they may buy, sell, or recommend for any other client or for their own accounts. Persons associated with SIMC or its affiliates may themselves have investments in the SEI Funds. It is SIMC’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal securities transactions for client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where SIMC, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliate (i.e., SIDCO), buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. In limited circumstances, SIMC may affect cross-transactions in which SIMC may affect transactions between two of its managed client accounts (i.e., arranging for the clients' securities trades by "crossing" these trades when SIMC believes that such transactions are beneficial to its clients). To the extent permitted by law, SIDCO may act as a broker, and may receive any commission. The client may revoke SIMC's cross-transaction authority at any time upon written notice to SIMC. Client Referrals and Other Compensation SIMC and its affiliates may assist certain Clients with their marketing activities, including providing brochures and other forms of marketing materials that Clients may use with their donors. SIMC enters into solicitation arrangements with third parties who will receive a solicitation fee from SIMC for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products Additionally, SIMC may 47  compensate SIMC employees who will receive a fee (determined based on the fee paid to SIMC by the client) for introducing prospective clients to SIMC or SIMC investment products. In all cases these solicitation arrangements are designed and implemented in a manner to comply with Investment Adviser Act Rule 206(4)-1 and applicable state laws. Financial Information Registered investment advisors are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about SIMC’s financial condition. SIMC has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 48

PWM is an umbrella name for various life and wealth advisory services provided by SIMC. For individuals and families generally totaling $10 million in net worth, PWM will help Clients to: set goals and priorities so Clients will discover exactly what they want to achieve; free them from the everyday responsibility of wealth management. • • understand how their wealth should impact them, their family and their community; and • PWM’s services feature a life goals-based wealth advice process which includes investment advice and portfolio management, securities, financial management, administrative services, estate planning, philanthropy, and other related services which SIMC, its affiliates, and third parties provide to Clients. SIMC serves as the investment advisor to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, private equity funds, alternative funds, collective investment trusts and offshore investment funds (together, the “Pooled Investment Vehicles”). PWM may invest Client assets in a variety of platforms, products and services, including Managed Account Solutions (“MAS”). MAS Program Summary MAS is a wrap fee program which charges a bundled fee that includes advisory, brokerage and custody services. SIMC sponsors and is advisor to MAS. MAS consists of distinct investment programs administered by SIMC, each program encompassing various investment strategies available for use by Clients. The programs available under MAS are: (1) our “Individual Manager Strategies” which are individual investment strategies (or model investment portfolios) constructed by third party investment managers selected and overseen by SIMC (“Portfolio Managers”) or, in certain cases, constructed and directly managed by SIMC, covering a broad spectrum of investment styles; and (2) our ”Models-Based Strategies” consisting of investment strategy models managed directly by SIMC comprised of either (i) SEI Pooled Investment Vehicles, (ii) third-party exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), or (iii) third party branded investment strategies investing in families of third-party mutual funds and/or ETFs managed by well- established fund/ETF sponsors working with SIMC to promote and distribute our MAS solutions. MAS offers a feature called tax management in which SIMC appoints or acts as an overlay manager (“Overlay Manager”) for the equity portion of the Client’s assets. The various equity Portfolio Managers for the Client’s portfolio provide buy/sell lists (i.e., model portfolios) to the Overlay Manager, which is then responsible for executing the transactions across the account within certain performance parameters and security weighting variances from the underlying model portfolios, with the goal of increased coordination across the equity portion of the account, increased tax efficiency and minimization of wash sales. Neither the Overlay Manager nor SIMC offers tax advice; Clients should consult with their tax advisors as to the suitability of the tax management feature for their accounts. With respect to SIMC’s or an Overlay Manager’s implementation of a model portfolio, the Client’s portfolio is subject to the risk that its performance may deviate from the performance of similarly managed accounts (including within MAS) and other proprietary or client accounts over which the Portfolio Manager or SIMC retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). The Overlay Manager’s variation from the Portfolio Manager’s model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including underperformance. In addition, a Portfolio Manager may implement its model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to the Overlay Manager. In these circumstances, trades placed by the Overlay Manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the Client’s portfolio receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the sub-advisor for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded.  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, (“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. SIMC develops various SIMC Managed Account Strategies, each of which seeks to achieve particular investment goals. SIMC Managed Account Strategies are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific Clients, but rather the program is designed to enable Clients to be matched with an SIMC Managed Account Strategy that is consistent with the Client’s investment goals and objectives. However, Clients may, at any time, impose reasonable restrictions on the management of the Client’s assets. SIMC manages MAS accounts (i.e., “wrap fee accounts”) in the same manner that it manages non- wrap fee separate accounts with the same Investment Style or mandate. SIMC will receive a portion of the wrap fee for its services. Participation in MAS may cost the Client more or less than if the Client paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services. In addition, the fees may be higher or lower than that charged by other sponsors of comparable wrap fee programs. Important Information about Individual Manager Strategies and Manager Strategy Solutions SIMC’s proprietary family of mutual funds (“SEI Funds”) and/or SIMC’s proprietary exchange traded funds (“SEI ETFs”) may be recommended for a portfolio (generally due to investment minimums) for which SIMC also serves as an investment manager. SEI Private Trust Company (“SPTC”), a limited purpose federal thrift and SIMC’s affiliate that typically custodies Client accounts invested in MAS, generally requires Clients to retain a minimum allocation to a SIMC-managed money market fund (the “Sweep Fund”) in order to administer Client accounts. Accordingly, in most cases 1% of a Client’s portfolio invested in Individual Manager Strategies or Manager Strategy Solutions will be allocated to the Sweep Fund, although this amount may vary by strategy. Please see Item 9 for more information about SPTC. SIMC earns additional advisory fees from the SEI Funds when Client assets are invested in such shares. While SIMC’s additional compensation creates an incentive to invest Client assets in the SEI Funds, the conflict is mitigated because Clients invested in SEI Funds (other than the Sweep Fund) do not pay the wrap fee on assets allocated to such shares (but do still pay the internal fees associated with such shares). And, the fees SIMC and SIMC’s affiliates earn from the Sweep Fund are rebated against the Clients’ wrap fee. In addition, SIMC’s affiliates receive custodial, shareholder servicing and administrative fees from Clients’ investments in the SEI Funds. SIMC’s affiliates would not typically receive these custodial, shareholder servicing and administrative fees in connection with direct investments or investments in unaffiliated mutual funds (except in certain cases where SIMC’s affiliates have been separately hired by such funds to perform services (e.g., administrative) and in these cases SIMC’s affiliates will receive and retain fees earned for providing services to the third party funds). This creates an incentive for SIMC to favor shares of SEI Funds over direct investments in MAS. SIMC manages certain portfolios in MAS directly, rather than through the use of sub-advisors, as noted in the applicable Client paperwork. The strategies include various fixed income strategies, index-replication strategies, and factor-based strategies. In certain cases, SIMC will, with the Client’s review and approval, customize a fixed income portfolio for the Client. SIMC expects to continue to expand its directly managed strategy line up over time. For temporary defensive or liquidity purposes during unusual economic or market conditions, SIMC and/or Portfolio Managers may (i) invest all or a portion of investor portfolios in cash, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and other short-term obligations that would not ordinarily be consistent with a portfolio’s strategy; and/or (ii) delay or suspend purchases and sales of securities. SIMC or a Portfolio Manager will only do so only if it believes that the risk of loss  outweighs the opportunity for capital gains or higher income. During such time, a portfolio may not achieve its investment goal. Available MAS Program – Important Information about Models-Based Strategy Generally, all Models-Based Strategies include an allocation to the Sweep Fund (generally 1%) in order to facilitate the administration of the Client’s account held at SPTC, SIMC’s affiliated custodian. Please see Item 9 below for more information about SPTC and its custodial services. Models-Based Strategies – Third Party Fund Families In this program, Clients desire to use SIMC’s asset allocation advice implemented through branded investment models allocated to funds of well-known mutual fund/ETF sponsors with established records managing retail assets through traditional pooled investment products (e.g., mutual funds and ETFs). SIMC does not research the entire market of available mutual funds/ETFs when selecting third party funds for use in this “Third Party Funds” program. Instead, SIMC develops a strategic business relationship with the sponsors of a limited number of third-party mutual fund/ETF families that meet specific business and investment criteria established by SIMC and develops branded investment models promoting the third party’s investment brand. These business criteria include willingness to engage in joint marketing, sales support, event support and other mutually beneficial marketing and sales arrangements with SIMC (and its affiliates). As a result, SIMC has a conflict of interest when making these funds available because SIMC relies on these firms to help market and support the solution. Another criteria SIMC takes into consideration is whether the mutual fund/ETF families are well established and well known “brands”. This reliance on these firms creates a disincentive for SIMC to discontinue the availability of the third party funds they sponsor, even if their funds do not compare favorably to other available funds on objective factors such as performance or cost. Investment criteria SIMC uses to select third party funds varies, as will the percent of a model’s allocation to third party funds. In some cases, SIMC selects mutual fund/ETF sponsors whose fund line-up spans from a majority of to a full range of asset classes necessary to meet SIMC’s range of model asset allocations. In other cases, the third party fund sponsor has a more limited range of funds that SIMC uses to populate a model, which may be as low as 10% of a model’s total investment allocation. In those cases where the mutual fund/ETF sponsor does not have a mutual fund or ETF meeting SIMC’s requirements for a specific asset class within a model strategy, SIMC will select SEI ETFs or other third party ETFs or mutual funds to complete a Third Party Fund program strategy. SIMC will first determine if a SEI ETF meets the asset class requirement and, if so, will use the SEI ETF as part of the model. This determination is based on the SEI ETF’s stated investment strategy and its alignment to the asset class requirements as determined in SIMCs discretion. If no such SEI ETF fits the necessary asset class requirement, SEI will instead select from third party ETFs and mutual funds to complete the model allocation. The business and other criteria listed in the preceding paragraph are the primary factors SIMC takes into consideration when selecting any third party fund sponsor for participation in the Third Party Funds program. Moreover, there are other business-related criteria that SIMC takes into consideration. In particular, SIMC and its affiliates provide a wide range of financial services to institutional firms, including through the provision of technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn- key pooled product solutions and other financial services unrelated to the PWM offering. The revenue SIMC and its affiliates earn from these relationships often is significant. When selecting mutual fund/ETF sponsors for inclusion in the Third Party Fund program, SIMC will take these other SEI relationships into account and, accordingly, PWM may select a mutual fund/ETF sponsor that is a client of SEI for other purposes and we have a conflict of interest when doing so. We mitigate this conflict through the requirement that in all cases the firm meet our above noted criteria at the time of initial inclusion in the program and also on an ongoing basis. In addition, SIMC believes the conflict of interest associated with the business criteria described above is managed through the disclosures we make about the program.  SIMC has a conflict of interest when selecting SEI ETFs to fulfill a Third Party Fund model’s asset allocation since this activity results in SIMC investing client assets in its proprietary products. As SIMC is the investment advisor to each of the SEI ETFs, SIMC earns advisory fees for providing services to the SEI ETFs when clients invest in such funds through MAS. In order to address the conflict of interest this presents, as well as the allocation to the Sweep Fund noted above, SIMC rebates against the Client’s MAS wrap fee an amount equal to the fees SIMC and its affiliates earn from the funds on the Client’s assets invested in SEI ETFs and Sweep Fund. And, as the SEI ETFs are relatively new investment products and SIMC expects to launch additional SEI ETFs from time to time, the inclusion of these funds in a model further benefits SIMC as it allows those ETFs to become commercially viable and more attractive in the market without SIMC having to invest its own capital in those SEI ETFs. Clients should be aware that similar products may offer better performance and/or longer track records than SEI ETFs. Models-Based Strategies – ETF Strategies and other ETF-based Strategies In these programs SIMC develops investment models as described above and generally populates the models’ asset allocations: (i) in the case of the ETF Strategies, with third party ETFs and, in certain cases, SEI ETFs and, (ii) in the case of our other ETF-based Strategies, ETFs, third party mutual funds and, in certain cases, SEI ETFs. Currently, these other strategies include our outcome- oriented strategies, but SIMC may add additional strategies within this strategy category over time. With respect to the third party ETFs or mutual funds selected for allocations to these models, SIMC does not rely on the ETF sponsors for marketing support, and includes them based on objective factors only. SIMC will first determine if a SEI ETF meets the asset class requirement and, if so, will use the SEI ETF as part of the model. This determination is based on the SEI ETF’s stated investment strategy and its alignment to the asset class requirements as determined in SIMC’s discretion. If no such SEI ETF fits the necessary asset class requirement, SIMC will instead select from third party ETFs and mutual funds to complete the model allocation. Use of Affiliates For each of the programs and products described in this Brochure, SIMC may hire its affiliates to perform various services, including, but not limited to, sub-advisory services, administrative services, custodial services, brokerage and/or other services and such affiliates may receive compensation for providing such services. Clients are also generally required to open custodial accounts with SIMCs affiliate, SPTC in connection with investing in MAS. Please refer to Item 9 for additional information. Program Fees In MAS, Clients pay a fee to SIMC for its advisory services, the trade execution provided by SIMC’s affiliate SEI Investments Distribution Co. (“SIDCO”) (see Item 6 for additional information), and the advisory services of Portfolio Managers and the custody fee of SIMC’s affiliate, SEI Private Trust Company (e.g., the “wrap fee”). SIMC’s fees are a percentage of the daily market value of the Client’s managed account portfolio assets. SIMC’s fees are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears and net of any income, withholding or other taxes. SIMC may discount the fees, which may be higher or lower than those charged by other investment advisors for similar services. Clients may have the option to purchase certain SIMC investment products, including the SEI Funds, that SIMC recommends through other brokers or agents not affiliated with SIMC. MAS fees do not cover certain costs, charges or compensation associated with transactions effected in a Client account, including but not limited to, broker-dealer spreads, certain broker-dealer mark-ups or mark- downs on principal transactions; auction fees; fees charged by exchanges on a per transaction basis; certain odd-lot differentials; transfer taxes; electronic fund and wire transfer fees; fees on NASDAQ transactions; certain costs associated with trading in foreign securities; any other charges mandated by law. In addition, MAS fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark- downs or spreads) on transactions SIMC or a Portfolio Manager places with broker-dealers other than SIDCO  or its affiliates or agents (third party broker dealers), or mark-ups or markdowns by third-party broker- dealers. SIMC and Portfolio Managers execute trades for fixed income securities through third-party broker- dealers and the spread, mark-up or markdown on such a transaction is borne by the Client. SIMC or Portfolio Managers may also occasionally execute other types of equity transactions through third-party broker- dealers. To the extent that transactions are executed through a third-party broker-dealer, any associated execution costs are incurred by the Client separate from the MAS fees. In addition, the value of a Client’s assets invested in shares of unaffiliated investment companies (e.g., exchange traded funds, closed-end or mutual fund companies, and unit investment trusts) is included in calculating the SIMC fee to the extent permitted by law. These shares are also subject to investment advisory, administration, transfer agency, distribution, shareholder service and other fund-level expenses (some of which may be paid to SIMC or its affiliates or to Portfolio Managers) that are paid by the fund and the Client, indirectly, as a fund shareholder. The SIMC fees will not be reduced by any of these unaffiliated fund-level fees, unless required by law. Please refer to Item 9 for additional information on SIDCO. Clients participating in MAS generally must custody their assets at SPTC and therefore will be subject to custody fees charged by SPTC. The bundled wrap fee charged for participation in MAS includes these custody fees, with the exception of a termination fee that SPTC charges upon the termination of a Client’s account. SIMC and/or its affiliates may voluntarily waive certain custody fees for its Clients. SIMC’s maximum fee schedule for MAS is as follows: PM Model Description Category 1 All Cap, Equity Income, Global Equity, International Developed Markets, International Equity, Large Cap, Managed Volatility, Mid Cap, Sustainable Investing Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million SIMC Fee* 0.80% 0.75% 0.70% 0.65% 0.60% 0.55% PM Model Description Category 2 International Emerging Markets, Small Cap, Small-Mid Cap, REIT Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million SIMC Fee* 1.00% 0.95% 0.90% 0.85% 0.80% 0.75% PM Model Description Category 3 Alternative-Income, Alternative-Tax Advantage Income, Core Aggregate, Core Aggregate Plus, Corporate Bond, Government/Corporate Bond, Government Securities, Municipal Fixed Income, Multi-Sector Fixed Income, Preferred Securities SIMC Fee* 0.60% 0.55% 0.51% 0.49% 0.45% 0.40% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million  PM Model Description Breakpoints SIMC Fee* Category 4 SEI Dynamic ETF Strategies, SEI Dynamic ETF Income Strategies, SEI Stability ETF Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed ETF Strategies, SEI U.S. Focused Tax-Managed ETF Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed ETF Income Strategies, SEI Tax-Managed Stability ETF Strategies First $250,000 Next $250,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million 0.40% 0.35% 0.30% 0.25% 0.20% 0.17% 0.15% PM Model Description SIMC Fee* Category 5 SEI Fixed Income Strategies 0.30% 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million PM Model Description SIMC Fee* Category 6 SEI Factor Based Strategies Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million 0.45% 0.30% 0.27% 0.22% 0.20% 0.18% PM Model Description SIMC Fee* 0.30% Category 7 SEI ETF Strategies, SEI ETF Current Income Strategies, SEI U.S. Focused ETF Strategies 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million PM Model Description Category 8 Third Party Fund Models, SEI Multi-Asset Income Strategies, SEI Sustainable ETF Strategies Breakpoints First $250,000 Next $250,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $1 million Next $2 million Over $5 million SIMC Fee* 0.40% 0.30% 0.27% 0.25% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18%  PM Model Description SIMC Fee* 0.35% Category 9 SEI Systematic Core 1 0.25% 0.22% 0.20% 0.19% 0.18% Breakpoints First $500,000 Next $500,000 Next $1 million Next $3 million Next $5 million Over $10 million Tax Overlay SIMC Fee* Tax Overlay 0.10% in addition to the SIMC Fee described above Factor Tilts 0.05% in addition to the SIMC Fee described above 1 Factor Tilts applicable to fees identified in Category 10 above only *Fee breakpoint levels are determined based on a Client’s total account assets invested in SIMC Managed Account Strategy categorized within the same SIMC Managed Account Strategy description groupings/fee rate schedules listed above. By way of example only, if an account is invested in two SIMC Managed Account Strategies in the same category, the first being a model classified as a Small Cap style and a second model classified as a Small-Mid Cap style, the account assets invested in those two SIMC Managed Account Strategies will be combined for purposes of determining the applicable breakpoint levels for purposes of calculating the fees payable to SIMC. Breakpoints are not applied across the style description groupings/fee rate schedules. By way of example only, if an account is invested in a SIMC Managed Account Strategy classified as a Small Cap style as well as in a second SIMC Managed Account Strategy classified as an Alternative Income style, those account assets will not be combined for purposes of determining the applicable breakpoint level for calculating Fees, but assets allocated to each such SIMC Managed Account Strategy will be considered individually in determining fees payable to SIMC. The maximum Fee a Client will pay is 1.25%. SIMC may, in its sole discretion, waive one or more of these fees, in whole or part. SIMC may end any such fee waiver at any time, after which time affected accounts will be assessed the applicable fees. Certain Clients may receive a fee discount, at the sole discretion of SIMC. These fees may be higher or lower than those charged by other investment advisors for similar services. SIMC may pay a portion of this fee to the portfolio manager acting as the account's Overlay Manager or retain the fee itself if it is serving as the Overlay Manager, if applicable. Fees for SEI Funds To the extent a Client’s assets are invested in SEI Funds, SIMC and its affiliates will earn fund-level fees on those assets, as set forth in the applicable Fund’s prospectus. As noted in the specific program descriptions above, SIMC will either waive its wrap fee or rebate against the wrap fee the fund level fees earned on MAS assets invested in any SEI Fund. Each SEI Fund pays an advisory fee to SIMC that is based on a percentage of the portfolio's average daily net assets, as described in the mutual fund’s prospectus. From such amount, SIMC pays the sub-advisor(s) to the SEI Fund. SIMC’s fund advisory fee varies, but it typically ranges from 0.03% - 1.50% of the portfolio's average daily net assets for its advisory services. Additionally, affiliates of SIMC provide administrative, shareholder, distribution and transfer agency services to all of the SEI Funds, as described in the SEI Funds’ registration statements. These fees and expenses are paid by the SEI Funds but ultimately are borne by each shareholder of the SEI Funds. Fees for SEI ETFs To the extent a Client’s assets are invested in SEI ETFs, SIMC will earn fund-level fees on those assets, as set forth in the applicable fund’s prospectus. As noted in the specific program descriptions above, SIMC will either waive its wrap fee or rebate against the wrap fee the fund level fees earned on MAS assets invested in any SEI ETF. Each SEI ETF pays an advisory fee to SIMC that is based on a percentage of the portfolio's average daily net  assets, as described in the exchange traded fund’s prospectus. SIMC’s fund advisory fee may vary, but, for each SEI ETF is currently set at 0.15% of the portfolio's average daily net assets. From such amount SIMC pays the fund’s other service providers for the services they provide to the fund, including SEI’s affiliates providing administrative, distribution and transfer agency services to the SEI ETFs, as described in the SEI Funds’ registration statements. These fees and expenses are paid by the SEI ETFs but ultimately are borne by each shareholder of the SEI ETFs. Additional Compensation Although the SEI Funds use broker-dealers that sell SEI Fund shares to effect transactions for the SEI Funds’ portfolio, the Funds, SIMC and its sub-advisors will not consider the sale of SEI Fund shares as a factor when choosing broker-dealers to affect those transactions and will not direct brokerage transactions to broker-dealers as compensation for the sales of SEI Fund shares. SIMC enters into solicitation arrangements with third parties and affiliates who will receive a solicitation fee from SIMC for introducing prospective clients to SIMC. Additionally, SIMC may compensate SEIC employees who will receive a fee (determined based on the fee paid to SIMC by the client) for introducing prospective clients to SIMC. In all cases these solicitation arrangements are designed and implemented in a manner to comply with Investment Adviser Act Rule 206(4)-1 and applicable state law.  Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients Account Requirements SIMC may impose minimum account balances which will vary (typically between $25,000 - $250,000) depending upon the managed account strategy chosen and whether the Client selects the tax management feature. Types of Clients SIMC offers investment advisory services, including MAS, to ultra-high net worth individuals, trusts and foundations. SIMC is also investment advisor to various types of investors, including but not limited to, corporate and union sponsored pension plans, public plans, defined contribution plans (including 401(k) plans), endowments, charitable foundations, hospital organizations, banks, trust departments, registered investment advisors, trusts, corporations, high net worth individuals and retail investors (each, a “Client” and together, the “Clients”). SIMC also serves as the investment advisor to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, private equity funds, alternative funds, collective investment trusts and offshore investment funds (together, the “Pooled Investment Vehicles”). Additionally, SIMC serves as the sponsor of, and advisor to, managed accounts.  Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Advisory Business SIMC is an investment advisor registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) with the SEC. It is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEIC”), a publicly traded diversified financial services firm (NASDAQ: SEIC) headquartered in Oaks, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. SIMC and its predecessor entities were originally incorporated in 1969. SIMC’s total assets under management as of December 31, 2025, were $216,428,500,660, $211,986,837,592 of which it manages on a discretionary basis and $4,441,663,068 on a non-discretionary basis. Please see Item 4 for a description of MAS. Performance SIMC’s sub-advisors provide performance calculations for their investment mandate to SIMC on a periodic basis. Neither SIMC nor a third party reviews these performance calculations for accuracy. Also, the performance information may not be calculated on a uniform or consistent basis among managers. Affiliated Brokerage MAS (which is a “wrap fee program,” meaning the Client pays one fee for investment advisory and brokerage services) is structured such that, in many cases (i.e., for most MAS equity strategies), SIMC is provided with the Portfolio Manager’s investment model for the Investment Strategy (each, a “Model Manager”) and SIMC will generally execute equity trades in the program using SIDCO, SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, consistent with the manager’s duty to seek best execution. Accordingly, a portion of the fees charged to the Client cover equity trading costs executed through SIDCO (See Item 9 for more information on SIMC’s brokerage practices). SIDCO will receive and retain compensation for this trading activity. Additionally, SIMC and certain Portfolio Managers (each a “Trading Manager”) also execute trades directly through third party broker dealers in certain cases (i.e., for most fixed income strategies). The commission, spread, mark-up or markdown on such a transaction is borne by the Client. Also, a significant percentage of trades in closed-end fund and master limited partnership strategies managed by Parametric are executed through third-party broker-dealers, on the basis that Parametric believes doing so results in the best combination of price and execution cost. SIMC or Trading Managers may also occasionally execute other types of equity transactions through third-party broker-dealers. To the extent that transactions are executed through a third-party broker-dealer, any associated execution costs are incurred by the Client separate from the MAS fees. The SIMC wrap fees do not cover execution charges (such as commissions, commission equivalents, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads) where SIMC or a Trading Manager executes transactions with broker-dealers other than SIDCO or its affiliates. Any such execution charges will be separately charged to the Client’s assets. SIMC’s internal governance structure oversees SIMC’s use of SIDCO in the program to ensure that its use of SIDCO for the program is suitable. See Item 9 and the Quarterly Execution Quality Review Report made available to PWM and Clients invested in MAS for additional information. Performance Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management SIMC does not charge any performance-based fees in the program. SIMC’s Overall Investment Philosophy SIMC’s philosophy is based on four key components: asset allocation, portfolio design, implementation and risk management. SIMC’s philosophy and process offers Clients personalization, diversification,  coordination and management and represents a strategy geared toward achieving long-term investment goals in various financial climates. Asset Allocation. SIMC’s approach to asset allocation takes Clients’ goals into account, along with more traditional inputs such as asset class risk and return expectations . We believe that acknowledging and accounting for common behavioral biases while simultaneously harnessing the power of efficient portfolio construction can help investors maximize the chances of achieving their financial objectives. We also believe that constructing portfolios according to investors’ major financial goals (such as retirement, education or lifestyle) and aligned with the risk tolerance associated with each of those objectives provides a greater understanding of how the goals and investments align. This should allow for a higher level of comfort with the overall investment strategy—thereby increasing the odds that investors will remain invested in the financial markets and focused on achieving their goals rather than making portfolio changes as a reaction to short-term market volatility. We believe that maintaining consistent exposure to the markets over time is the surest way to earn attractive returns, and that doing so with a goals- based approach should help investors achieve their financial goals. In constructing portfolios that correspond with a particular objective, we seek to deliver the maximum expected return available given the goal’s risk tolerance. SIMC constructs multiple model portfolios to address a wide variety of Client goals and dedicate considerable resources to active asset allocation decisions that help our investment offerings keep pace with an evolving market environment. Portfolio Design. In terms of portfolio design, SIMC generally attempts to identify alpha source(s), or opportunities for returns in excess of the benchmark, across equity, fixed-income and alternative- investment portfolios. SIMC looks for potential sources of excess return that have demonstrated staying power over the long term across multiple markets in a given geographic region. Alpha sources are classified into broad categories; categorizing them in this manner allows us to create portfolios that are not simply diversified between asset classes (e.g., equity and fixed-income strategies), but also diversified across the underlying drivers of alpha. Implementation. When building portfolios, SIMC seeks to identify, analyze, select, and monitor investment strategies with characteristics that can be expected to outperform the portfolio’s benchmark in the future— through both external investment managers and internally managed portfolios. SIMC may use a multi-manager implementation, which means that SIMC typically hires sub-advisors (third- party and affiliated) to select individual securities. As a multi-manager, SIMC aims to identify, classify and validate manager skill when choosing sub-advisors. Differentiating manager skill from market- generated returns is one of SIMC’s primary objectives, as it seeks to identify sub-advisors that it believes can deliver superior results over time. SIMC develops forward-looking expectations regarding how a manager will execute a given investment mandate, environments in which the strategy should outperform and environments in which the strategy might underperform. In certain circumstances, SIMC may default to internal managers due to similar risk and return characteristics and similarly positioned results that provide improved pricing. While SEI applies its internal controls and review processes over its internally managed strategies, these controls differ from the processes SIMC uses to oversee third party managers. Due to these differences, SEI will not normally downgrade or replace a recommended SEI-managed strategy as it would with a third party manager, since SEI would address concerns with its managed strategies through its internal processes. SIMC selects sub-advisors based on SIMC's manager research process. SIMC uses proprietary databases and software, supplemented by data from various third parties, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of sub-advisors. The qualitative analysis focuses on a manager's investment philosophy, process, personnel, portfolio construction and performance. Quantitative analysis identifies the sources of a manager's return relative to a benchmark. SIMC typically uses performance attribution models from providers such as Axioma, BlackRock and others in this process. SIMC typically appoints several sub-advisors within a stated asset class. For instance, SIMC will generally have more than one sub-advisor assigned to the large-cap growth asset class.  After identifying the investment strategy, factors, and investment managers, SIMC implements a portfolio construction process that seeks to build the optimal portfolio to achieve the stated investment objectives. Strategically, it needs to ensure that the portfolio is sufficiently exposed to targeted factors and an appropriate level of risk (in absolute or benchmark-relative terms, depending on the objective), while remaining suitably diversified. SIMC makes adjustments to the portfolio as needed in order to maintain the balance between sources of risk and return. Tactically, it also adjusts the portfolio throughout the market cycle—leaning more heavily into factors that are expected to outperform in the years ahead and downplaying those expected to underperform. Risk Management. SIMC relies on a risk management group to focus on common risks across and within asset classes. Daily monitoring of assigned portfolio tolerances and deviations result in an active risk mitigation program. SIMC employs a multi-asset risk-management system to provide a consistent view of risk across asset classes—while preserving a distinct separation between risk oversight and portfolio management in order to preserve objectivity. The Investment Risk Management team is responsible for determining whether the risks of SEI’s investment strategies are consistent with their mandates. It reports directly to SEI’s Chief Risk Officer, which helps maintain impartiality and allows for direct access and support from senior management. Governance. In an effort to remain unbiased, SIMC’s governance structure is independent of portfolio management. It includes various oversight committees, which are each chaired by the head of Investment Risk Management. Implementation Through Investment Products The foregoing discusses SIMC’s investment philosophy in designing diversified investment portfolios for SIMC’s clients. In most cases, implementation of a client’s investment portfolio is accomplished through investing in a range of investment products, which may include mutual funds, ETFs, hedge funds, closed- end funds, private equity funds, collective investment trusts, or managed accounts. In order to provide clients with sufficient diversification and flexibility, SIMC manages products across a very wide range of investment strategies. These would include, to varying degrees, large and small capitalization U.S. equities, foreign developed markets equities, foreign emerging markets equity, real estate securities, U.S. investment grade fixed income securities, U.S. high yield (below investment grade) fixed income securities, foreign developed market fixed income securities, emerging markets debt, U.S. and foreign government securities, currencies, structured or asset-backed fixed income securities (including mortgage-backed), municipal bonds and other types of asset classes. SIMC also manages Collateralized Debt Obligations (“CDOs”) investments and Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLO”) investments within certain investment products. CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. SIMC may also seek to achieve a product’s investment objectives by investing in derivative instruments, such as futures, forwards, options, swaps or other types of derivative instruments. Additionally, SIMC may also seek to achieve an investment product’s objective by investing some or all of its assets in affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds, including money market funds. Within a mutual fund product, SIMC may also seek to gain exposure to the commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in a wholly owned subsidiary of the mutual fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Certain of SIMC’s product strategies may also attempt to utilize tax- management techniques to manage the impact of taxes. Further, SIMC may invest SIMC’s alternative funds and interval funds in third-party hedge funds or private equity funds that engage in a wide variety of investment techniques and strategies that carry varying degrees of risks. This may include long-short equity strategies, equity market neutral, merger arbitrage, credit hedging, distressed debt, sovereign debt, real estate, private equity investments, derivatives, currencies or other types of investments. While SIMC’s investment strategies are normally implemented through pooled investment products, certain clients’ assets are invested directly in the target investments through a managed account or other means. The strategies that SIMC implements in such accounts is currently more limited than the breadth  of strategies contained in SIMC’s funds, and generally covers U.S. large and small capitalization equity securities, international and emerging market ADRs, Master Limited Partnerships, and U.S. fixed income securities, including government securities and municipal bonds. SIMC may also implement strategies involving derivative securities directly within a Client’s accounts. Investment Product Strategies Since SIMC implements such a broad range of strategies within its investment products, it would not be practical to set forth in detail each strategy that SIMC has developed for use across its products. The disclosure in this Brochure is not intended to supplant any product-specific disclosure documents. Clients should refer to the prospectus or other offering materials that it receives in conjunction with investing in a SIMC investment product for a detailed discussion of the strategy and risks associated with such product. Moreover, this Form ADV disclosure addresses strategies designed and implemented by SIMC and does not address strategies that are implemented by third parties (e.g., unaffiliated investment advisors, banks, institutions or other intermediaries) through the use of SIMC products. A strategy’s exposure to the foregoing asset classes, including the degree of exposure, is subject to change at any time due to evolving investment philosophies and market conditions. The risks associated with such strategies are also therefore subject to change at any time. Material Risks All strategies implemented by SIMC involve a risk of loss that Clients should understand, accept and be prepared to bear. Given the very wide range of investments in which a Client’s assets may be invested, either directly by investing in individual securities and/or through one or more pooled investment vehicles or funds, there is similarly a very wide range of risks to which a Client’s assets may be exposed. This Brochure does not include every potential risk associated with an investment strategy, or all of the risks applicable to a particular advisory account. Rather, it is a general description of the nature and risks of the strategies and securities and other financial instruments in which advisory accounts may invest. The particular risks to which a specific Client might be exposed will depend on the specific investment strategies incorporated into that Client’s portfolio. As such, for a detailed description of the material risks of investing in a particular product, the Client should, on or prior to investing, also refer to such product’s prospectus or other offering materials. Set forth below are certain material risks to which a Client might be exposed in connection with SIMC’s implementation of a strategy for Client accounts: Absolute Return – A portfolio that seeks to achieve an absolute return with reduced correlation to stock and bond markets may not achieve positive returns over short or long term periods. Investment strategies that have historically been non-correlated or have demonstrated low correlations to one another or to stock and bond markets may become correlated at certain times and, as a result, may cease to function as anticipated over either short or long term periods. Artificial Intelligence Technology - The rapid development and increasingly widespread use of certain artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning models and generative artificial intelligence (collectively “AI”), may adversely impact markets, the overall performance of a Fund’s investments, or the services provided to a Fund. AI technologies are highly reliant on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data and complex algorithms, and it is possible that the information provided through use of AI technologies could be insufficient, incomplete, inaccurate or biased, leading to adverse effects for a Fund, including, potentially, operational errors and investment losses. AI technologies and their current and potential future applications, and the regulatory frameworks within which they operate, continue to rapidly evolve, and it is impossible to predict the full extent of future applications or regulations and the associated risks to a Fund. To the extent a Fund invests in companies that are involved in various aspects of AI, the Fund will be affected by the risks of those types of companies,  including changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress, and changes in government regulation. Rapid change to technologies that affect a company’s products could have a material adverse effect on such company’s operating results. Companies that are extensively involved in AI also may rely heavily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by these companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent the misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to such companies’ technology. Further, because of the innovative nature of the AI market, outpaced advancement by one company or increasing market share by one company could result in rapid and substantial declines in the value of competing companies. In addition, market reaction to the potential impact of AI could result in excess demand for access to AI-related investments, thereby resulting in accelerated growth in the market value of such companies, which may then be subject to sharp resets in the wake of news or other information that tempers expectations of AI or of particular AI-related companies, thus potentially resulting in periods of high volatility in the price of such securities, which could negatively affect the Funds’ performance. Asset Allocation Risk – The risk that an investment advisor’s decisions regarding a portfolio’s allocation to asset classes or underlying funds will not anticipate market trends successfully. Asset-Backed Securities Risk – Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the portfolio may acquire. Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk – Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as “high yield bonds,” but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return. These risks may be increased in foreign and emerging markets. Call Risk — Issuers of callable bonds may call (redeem) securities with higher coupons or interest rates before their maturity dates. A portfolio may be forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the portfolio’s income. Bonds may be called due to falling interest rates or non-economic circumstances. Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs) and Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs) Risk – CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. CDOs and CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CDO and CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CDOs and CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CDO or CLO, respectively, in which the portfolio invests. CDOs and CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk, which are described below. For example, a liquidity crisis in the global credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and high-yield debt securities and limited liquidity for such instruments. When a portfolio invests in CDOs or CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CDO’s or CLO’s expenses. The impact of expenses is especially relevant when a portfolio invests in the lowest tranche (the “equity tranche”) of a CDO or CLO. At the equity tranche level, expenses of a CDO or CLO may reduce distributions available to the portfolio before impacting distributions available to investors above the equity tranche and thereby disproportionately impact the portfolio’s investment in such CDO or CLO. Commercial Paper Risk — Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured short-term  promissory notes issued by corporations and other entities to finance short-term credit needs. Commercial paper is usually sold on a discount basis and has a maturity at the time of issuance generally not exceeding 270 days. The value of commercial paper may be affected by changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities. The value of commercial paper will tend to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk – Convertible securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stock or other securities that may be converted into or exercised for a prescribed amount of common stock at a specified time and price. The value of a convertible security is influenced by changes in interest rates, with investment value typically declining as interest rates increase and increasing as interest rates decline, and the credit standing of the issuer. The price of a convertible security will also normally vary in some proportion to changes in the price of the underlying common stock because of the conversion or exercise feature. Convertible securities may also be rated below investment grade (junk bonds) or may not be rated and are subject to credit risk and prepayment risk. Preferred stocks are nonvoting equity securities that pay a stated fixed or variable rate dividend. Due to their fixed income features, preferred stocks provide higher income potential than issuers’ common stocks, but are typically more sensitive to interest rate changes than an underlying common stock. Preferred stocks are also subject to equity market risk. The rights of preferred stocks on the distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities. Preferred stock may also be subject to prepayment risk. Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk – Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as to perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers. Credit Risk – The risk that the issuer of a security, or the counterparty to a contract, will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation. Currency Risk – As a result of investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the portfolio would be adversely affected. To the extent that a portfolio takes active or passive positions securities denominated in foreign currencies it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad. Current Market Conditions Risk — A particular investment, or the market value of a portfolio’s investments in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. Unexpected changes in interest rates could lead to significant market volatility or reduce liquidity in certain sectors of the market. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad may adversely impact the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could negatively impact a portfolio’s investments and operations. In particular, the imposition of tariffs on foreign countries has led to retaliatory tariffs by certain foreign countries and could lead to retaliatory tariffs imposed by additional foreign countries, as well as increased and prolonged market volatility, and sector-specific downturns in industries reliant on international trade. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. If any geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets and individual securities may be adversely affected, and the value of a portfolio’s assets may decline. Additional examples of events that have led to fluctuations in markets include pandemic risks related to COVID-19 and aggressive measures taken worldwide in response by governments and businesses, elevated inflation levels and problems in the banking sector. Additionally, advancements in  technologies such as AI may also adversely impact markets, disrupt existing industries and sectors and dislocate opportunities in the labor force, which could negatively affect the overall performance of a portfolio. Depositary Receipts Risk – Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. Derivatives Risk – A portfolio’s use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market risk are described below. Many over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. A portfolio’s use of forwards and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of these risks could cause a portfolio to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the portfolio’s initial investment. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. The portfolio’s use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by investors. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and are in the process of implementing regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear. Duration Risk – Longer-term securities in which a portfolio may invest tend to be more volatile than shorter term securities. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration. Environment, Social and Governance Investment Criteria Risk – If a portfolio is subject to certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities or may sell certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the application of portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively or negatively, depending on whether these issuers, industries, sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor. An adviser or vendor can vary materially from other ESG advisers and vendors with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios or screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a result, an adviser’s or vendor’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG advisers or vendors with respect to the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria is dependent on data and is subject to the risk that such data reported by issuers or received from third party sources may be subjective or may be objective in principal but not verified or reliable. Equity Market Risk – The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Equity market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole. Equity markets may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) Risk (including leveraged ETFs) – The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities or other instruments the ETF is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the  underlying portfolio securities. Leveraged ETFs contain all of the risks that non-leveraged ETFs present. Additionally, to the extent the portfolio invests in ETFs that achieve leveraged exposure to their underlying indexes through the use of derivative instruments, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to leverage risk, described below. Leveraged Inverse ETFs seek to provide investment results that match a negative multiple of the performance of an underlying index. To the extent that the portfolio invests in Leveraged Inverse ETFs, the portfolio will indirectly be subject to the risk that the performance of such ETF will fall as the performance of that ETF’s benchmark rises. Leveraged and Leveraged Inverse ETFs often “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. These investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose a portfolio to significant losses. When a portfolio invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF’s expenses. See also, “Exchange-Traded Products Risk”, below. Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) Risk —The risks of owning interests of an ETP, such as an ETF, ETN or exchange-traded commodity pool, generally reflect the same risks as owning the underlying securities or other instruments that the ETP is designed to track. The shares of certain ETPs may trade at a premium or discount to their intrinsic value (i.e., the market value may differ from the net asset value of an ETP’s shares). For example, supply and demand for shares of an ETF or market disruptions may cause the market price of the ETF to deviate from the value of the ETF’s investments, which may be emphasized in less liquid markets. The value of an ETN may also differ from the valuation of its reference market or instrument due to changes in the issuer’s credit rating. By investing in an ETP, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, the portfolio indirectly bears the proportionate share of any fees and expenses of the ETP. Because certain ETPs may have a significant portion of their assets exposed directly or indirectly to commodities or commodity-linked securities, developments affecting commodities may have a disproportionate impact on such ETPs and may subject the ETPs to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Extension Risk – The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security’s value. Fixed Income Market Risk— The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. Markets for fixed income securities may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long- term. In response to these events, a portfolio’s value may fluctuate. Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk – The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and audit environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries. . Investments in emerging markets are subject to the added risk that information in emerging market investments may be unreliable or outdated due to differences in regulatory, accounting or auditing and financial record keeping standards, or because less information about emerging market investments is publicly available. In addition, the rights and remedies associated with emerging market investments may be different than investments in developed markets. A lack of reliable information, rights and remedies increase the risks of investing in emerging markets in comparison to more developed markets. In addition, periodic U.S.  Government restrictions on investments in issuers from certain foreign countries may require the portfolio to sell such investments at inopportune times, which could result in losses to the portfolio. Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — The risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. Income Risk – The possibility that a portfolio’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. Inflation Protected Securities Risk – The value of inflation protected securities, including TIPS, generally will fluctuate in response to changes in “real” interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Real interest rates represent nominal (or stated) interest rates reduced by the expected impact of inflation. In addition, interest payments on inflation- indexed securities will generally vary up or down along with the rate of inflation. Interest Rate Risk – The risk that a rise in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities in which the portfolio invests. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Interval Fund Risk – See also, “Investment Company Risk” below. Unlike many closed-end funds, which typically list their shares on a securities exchange, an interval fund typically does not intend to list its shares for trading on any securities exchange and does not expect any secondary market to develop for the shares in the foreseeable future. Therefore, an investment in an interval fund, unlike an investment in a typical closed-end fund, is not a liquid investment. An interval fund is designed primarily for long- term investors and not as a trading vehicle. An interval fund will, subject to applicable law, conduct quarterly repurchase offers of a portion of its outstanding shares at net asset value. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their Shares repurchased. Even though an interval fund will make quarterly repurchase offers, you should consider the Shares to be illiquid. Investment Company Risk – When a portfolio invests in an investment company, including mutual funds, closed-end funds and ETFs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company’s expenses. In part because of these additional expenses, the performance of an investment company may differ from the performance a portfolio would achieve if it invested directly in the underlying investments of the investment company. In addition, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, a portfolio may be subject to additional or different risks than if the portfolio had invested directly in the underlying investments. See also, “Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) Risk,” and “Interval Fund Risk” above. Investment Style Risk – The risk that the portfolio’s strategy may underperform other segments of the markets or the markets as a whole. Large Capitalization Risk – The risk that larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies. Leverage Risk – A portfolio’s use of derivatives may result in the portfolio’s total investment exposure substantially exceeding the value of its securities and the portfolio’s investment returns depending substantially on the performance of securities that the portfolio may not directly own. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the portfolio's value and may also cause the portfolio to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy  its obligations. The portfolio’s use of leverage may result in a heightened risk of investment loss. Liquidity Risk – The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the portfolio would like. The portfolio may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on portfolio management or performance. Master Limited Partnership (MLP) Risk – Investments in units of master limited partnerships involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of master limited partnerships have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment in units of master limited partnerships. In addition, conflicts of interest may exist between common unit holders, subordinated unit holders and the general partner of a master limited partnership, including a conflict arising as a result of incentive distribution payments. The benefit the portfolio derives from investment in MLP units is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships and not as corporations for federal income tax purposes. If an MLP were classified as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, there would be reduction in the after- tax return to the portfolio of distributions from the MLP, likely causing a reduction in the value of the portfolio. MLP entities are typically focused in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy, natural resources or real estate sectors of the economy could have an adverse impact on the portfolio. At times, the performance of securities of companies in the energy, natural resources and real estate sectors of the economy may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Money Market Funds – With respect to an investment in money market funds, an investment in the money market fund is not a bank deposit nor is it insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although a money market fund may seek to maintain a constant price per share of $1.00, you may lose money by investing in the money market fund. A money market fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause the Fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets. This could have a significant adverse effect on the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, and, in extreme circumstances, could cause the money market fund to suspend redemptions and liquidate completely. Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk – Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage- backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the portfolio’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the portfolio’s expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancing and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the portfolio. Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk – Mortgage dollar rolls, or “covered rolls,” are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities (usually mortgage-backed securities) and simultaneously contracts to repurchase, typically in 30 or 60 days, substantially similar, but not identical, securities on a specified future date. During the roll period, a portfolio forgoes principal and interest paid on such securities. A portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the “drop”), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. At the end of the roll commitment period, a portfolio may or may not take delivery of the securities it has contracted to purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash  settlement and initially may involve only a firm commitment agreement by the portfolio to buy a security. A “covered roll” is a specific type of mortgage dollar roll for which there is an offsetting cash position or cash equivalent securities position that matures on or before the forward settlement date of the mortgage dollar roll transaction. As used herein, the term “mortgage dollar roll” refers to mortgage dollar rolls that are not “covered rolls.” If the broker-dealer to whom a portfolio sells the security becomes insolvent, the portfolio’s right to repurchase the security may be restricted. Other risks involved in entering into mortgage dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the security may change adversely over the term of the mortgage dollar roll and that the security a portfolio is required to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the portfolio originally held. Municipal Securities Risk – Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer- term securities generally respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer’s current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by a portfolio. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of a portfolio’s holdings. As a result, a portfolio will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a portfolio that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations. Municipal obligations may be underwritten or guaranteed by a relatively small number of financial services firms, so changes in the municipal securities market that affect those firms may decrease the availability of municipal instruments in the market, thereby making it difficult to identify and obtain appropriate investments for the portfolio. Also, there may be economic or political changes that impact the ability of issuers of municipal securities to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by the portfolio. Any changes in the financial condition of municipal issuers also may adversely affect the value of the portfolio’s securities. Non-Diversified Risk – To the extent that a portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. The portfolio may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. Opportunity Risk – The risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in other investments. Options — An option is a contract between two parties for the purchase and sale of a financial instrument for a specified price at any time during the option period. Unlike a futures contract, an option grants the purchaser, in exchange for a premium payment, a right (not an obligation) to buy or sell a financial instrument. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. The seller of an uncovered call (buy) option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the call option without ever getting the opportunity to execute the option. The seller (writer) of a covered put (sell) option (e.g., the writer has a short position in the underlying security) will suffer a loss if the increase in the market price of the underlying security is greater than the premium received from the buyer of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the exercise price of the option. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of paying an entire premium in the put option without ever getting the opportunity to exercise the option. An option’s time value  (i.e., the component of the option’s value that exceeds the in-the-money amount) tends to diminish over time. Even though an option may be in-the-money to the buyer at various times prior to its expiration date, the buyer’s ability to realize the value of an option depends on when and how the option may be exercised. For example, the terms of a transaction may provide for the option to be exercised automatically if it is in-the-money on the expiration date. Conversely, the terms may require timely delivery of a notice of exercise, and exercise may be subject to other conditions (such as the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events, such as knock-in, knock-out or other barrier events) and timing requirements, including the “style” of the option. Risks associated with options transactions include: (i) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (ii) there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them; (iii) there may not be a liquid secondary market for options; and (iv) though a portfolio will receive a premium when it writes covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise in the market value of the underlying security. Overlay Risk – – To the extent that a client’s portfolio is implemented through an overlay manager, it is subject to the risk that its performance may deviate from the performance of a sub-advisor’s model or the performance of other proprietary or client accounts over which the sub-advisor retains trading authority (“Other Accounts”). The overlay manager’s variation from the sub-advisor’s model portfolio may contribute to performance deviations, including under performance. The overlay manager will vary from a model portfolio to, among other reasons, implement tax management strategies, as applicable, and security restrictions. The overlay manager is restricted from purchasing certain securities due to the issuer’s affiliation with SEI or the overlay manager, or due to the overlay manager’s compliance with laws, regulations, and policies that apply to the business activities of its affiliates. In addition, a sub- advisor may implement its model portfolio for its Other Accounts prior to submitting its model to the overlay manager. In these circumstances, trades placed by the overlay manager pursuant to a model portfolio may be subject to price movements that result in the client’s portfolio receiving prices that are different from the prices obtained by the sub-advisor for its Other Accounts, including less favorable prices. The risk of such price deviations may increase for large orders or where securities are thinly traded Portfolio Turnover Risk – To the extent that a portfolio buys and sells securities frequently, such activity may result in higher transaction costs and taxes subject to ordinary income tax rates as opposed to more favorable capital gains rates, which may affect the portfolio’s performance. To the extent that a portfolio invests in an underlying fund the portfolio will have no control over the turnover of the underlying fund. Prepayment Risk – The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring a portfolio to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates. Private Placements Risk – Investment in privately placed securities, including interests in private equity and hedge funds, may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the portfolio, the carrying value of such securities or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded. Quantitative Investing – A quantitative investment style generally involves the use of computers to implement a systematic or rules-based approach to selecting investments based on specific measurable factors. Due to the significant role technology plays in such strategies, they carry the risk of unintended or unrecognized issues or flaws in the design, coding, implementation or maintenance of the computer programs or technology used in the development and implementation of the quantitative strategy. These issues or flaws, which can be difficult to identify, may result in the implementation of a portfolio that is different from that which was intended, and could negatively impact investment returns. Such risks  should be viewed as an inherent element of investing in an investment strategy that relies heavily upon quantitative models and computerization. Utility interruptions or other key systems outages also can impair the performance of quantitative investment strategies. Reallocation Risk – SIMC constructs and maintains global asset allocation strategies for certain Clients, and the SEI funds are designed in part to implement those Strategies. Within the Strategies, SIMC periodically adjusts the target allocations among the mutual funds to ensure that the appropriate mix of assets is in place. SIMC also may create new Strategies that reflect significant changes in allocation among the mutual funds. Because a significant portion of the assets in the mutual funds may be attributable to of investors in Strategies controlled or influenced by SIMC, this reallocation activity could result in significant purchase or redemption activity in the mutual funds. Although reallocations are intended to benefit investors that invest in the mutual funds through the Strategies, they could, in certain cases, have a detrimental effect on the mutual funds. Such detrimental effects could include: transaction costs, capital gains and other expenses resulting from an increase in portfolio turnover; and disruptions to the portfolio management strategy, such as foregone investment opportunities or the inopportune sale of securities to facilitate redemptions. Real Estate Industry Risk – Securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may be subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. If a portfolio’s investments are concentrated in issuers conducting business in the real estate industry, the portfolio may be is subject to risks associated with legislative or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition affecting that industry. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) – REITs are trusts that invest primarily in commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. Investments in REITs are subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate which is discussed above. Some REITs may have limited diversification and may be subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of properties. Repurchase Agreement Risk — Although a portfolio’s repurchase agreement transactions will be fully collateralized at all times, they generally create leverage and involve some counterparty risk to the portfolio whereby a defaulting counterparty could delay or prevent the portfolio’s recovery of collateral. Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk- Reverse repurchase agreements are transactions in which a portfolio sells securities to financial institutions, such as banks and broker-dealers, and agrees to repurchase them at a mutually agreed-upon date and price that is higher than the original sale price. Reverse repurchase agreements involve risks. Reverse repurchase agreements are a form of leverage, and the use of reverse repurchase agreements by a portfolio may increase volatility. Reverse repurchase agreements are also subject to the risk that the other party to the reverse repurchase agreement will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by a portfolio may decline below the price at which it is obligated to repurchase the securities. In addition, when a portfolio invests the proceeds it receives in a reverse repurchase transaction, there is a risk that those investments may decline in value. In this circumstance, the portfolio could be required to sell other investments in order to meet its obligations to repurchase the securities. Risks of Cyber-Attacks- As with any entity that conducts business through electronic means in the modern marketplace, a portfolio, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized monitoring, release, misuse, loss, destruction or corruption of confidential information, unauthorized access to relevant systems, compromises to networks or devices that the portfolio and its service providers use to service the portfolio’s operations, ransomware, operational disruption or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support the portfolio and its service providers, or various  other forms of cyber security breaches. Cyber-attacks affecting a portfolio may adversely impact the portfolio potentially resulting in, among other things, financial losses or the inability of to transact business. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of transactions, cause the release of private portfolio information or confidential information, impede trading, subject the portfolio to regulatory fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. The portfolio may also incur additional costs for cyber security risk management purposes designed to mitigate or prevent the risk of cyber-attacks. Such costs may be ongoing because threats of cyber-attacks are constantly evolving as cyber attackers become more sophisticated and their techniques become more complex. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which a portfolio may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the portfolio’s investment in such companies to lose value. There can be no assurance that the portfolio, its service providers, or the issuers of the securities in which it invests will not suffer losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches in the future. Sampling Risk – With respect to investments in index funds or a portfolio designed to track the performance of an index, a fund or portfolio may not fully replicate a benchmark index and may hold securities not included in the index. As a result, a fund or portfolio may not track the return of its benchmark index as well as it would have if the fund or portfolio purchased all of the securities in its benchmark index. Short Sales— When a portfolio engages in short sales, the proceeds from the sales may be used to purchase long positions in additional equity securities believed will outperform the market or its peers. This strategy may effectively result in the portfolio having a leveraged investment portfolio, which results in greater potential for loss. Leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on a portfolio’s share price and make it’s returns more volatile. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the securities. The use of leverage may also cause a portfolio to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. Small and Medium Capitalization Risk – Small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over the counter (OTC). OTC stocks may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than exchange-listed stocks and may have more price volatility than that of exchange-listed stocks. Structured Securities Risk – A portfolio may invest a portion of assets in entities organized and operated solely for the purpose of restructuring the investment characteristics of sovereign debt obligations of emerging market issuers. This type of restructuring involves the deposit with, or purchase by, an entity, such as a corporation or trust, of specified instruments (such as commercial bank loans or Brady Bonds) and the issuance by that entity of one or more classes of securities (“Structured Securities”) backed by, or representing interests in, the underlying instruments. The cash flow on the underlying instruments may be apportioned among the newly issued Structured Securities to create securities with different investment characteristics, such as varying maturities, payment priorities and interest rate provisions, and the extent of the payments made with respect to Structured Securities is dependent on the extent of the cash flow on the underlying instruments. Because Structured Securities of the type in which the portfolio anticipates it will invest typically involve no credit enhancement, the credit risk will generally be equivalent to that of the underlying instruments. A portfolio is permitted to invest in a class of Structured Securities that is either subordinated or unsubordinated to the right of payment of another class. Subordinated Structured Securities typically have higher yields and present greater risks than unsubordinated Structured Securities. Structured Securities are typically sold in private placement transactions, and there currently is no active trading market for Structured Securities. Certain issuers of such Structured Securities may be deemed to be “investment companies” as defined in the 1940 Act.  Taxation Risk – 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. Unless otherwise disclosed, tax-management techniques are limited to, and take into consideration only, the securities held within the individual client account managed by SIMC. The impact of such tax management techniques and strategies may be reduced or eliminated as a result of securities and trading activities in other accounts owned by client, including other client accounts managed by SIMC. 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. A portfolio that is managed to reduce tax consequences to Clients will likely still earn taxable income and gains from time to time, including income subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax. In certain instances, when harvesting losses from the sale of an ETF or mutual fund (Original Fund), SIMC may seek to avoid a wash sale while maintaining exposure to the desired asset class. SIMC may do so through the purchase of another ETF or mutual fund (Secondary Fund). Certain strategies may require SIMC to sell the Secondary Fund upon the expiration of the wash-sale period and return to the Original Fund, which may result in a short-term gain. Such gain may exceed harvested losses. Certain strategies may also require SIMC to redeem from an Original Fund when a suitable fund becomes available from a specified fund family, which may result in short- or long-term gains. Certain portfolio assets may be subject to Section 351 tax treatment. The availability of Section 351 treatment depends on the satisfaction of specific legal and factual requirements, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not question or successfully challenge the qualification of any such contribution, whether at the time of contribution or in a subsequent examination. If a contribution of securities is ultimately determined not to qualify for Section 351 treatment, the contribution would be treated as a taxable transaction, and the contributing shareholder would recognize gain or loss on the contributed securities at the time of the contribution. If such a determination is made after the contribution, the shareholder may have previously misreported the tax consequences of the transaction and could be required to amend prior tax returns. In addition, any subsequent disposition of fund shares by the contributing shareholder could be affected by an incorrect initial tax basis, resulting in additional tax liability, interest, or penalties. In order to pay tax-exempt interest, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by the portfolio to shareholders to be taxable. Changes or proposed changes in federal tax laws may cause the prices of tax-exempt securities to fall. The federal income tax treatment on payments with respect to certain derivative contracts is unclear. Consequently, a portfolio may receive payments that are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. To the extent a portfolio invests in ETFs, mutual funds or other pooled products, you should review the applicable prospectus or offering document for additional tax disclosure, including relevant risks. Neither SIMC nor its affiliates provide tax advice. To-Be-Announced (TBA) Transactions — A portfolio may be exposed to TBA transactions risk through its investments in derivatives. In TBA transactions, the selling counterparty does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the purchasing counterparty agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms. TBA purchase commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date, which risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the portfolio’s other assets. In addition, the selling counterparty may not deliver the security as promised. Default or bankruptcy of a counterparty to a TBA transaction would expose the portfolio to potential loss and could affect the portfolio’s returns. Selling a TBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the securities to be sold goes up prior to the settlement date. Tracking Error Risk – 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 portfolio's investments and the components of the index and other factors. Underlying Funds Risk – With respect to portfolios that invest in underlying funds, additional investment risk exists because the value of such investments is based primarily on the performance of the underlying funds. Specifically with respect to alternative funds, the entity’s sponsors will make investment and management decisions. Therefore, an underlying fund’s returns are dependent on the investment  decisions made by its management and the portfolio will not participate in the management or control the investment decisions of the alternative fund. Further, the returns on a portfolio may be negatively impacted by liquidity restrictions imposed by the governing documents of an alternative fund such as “lock-up” periods, gates, redemption fees and management’s ability to suspend redemptions (in certain cases). Such lock-up periods, gates or suspensions may restrict the portfolio’s ability to exit from an alternative fund in accordance with the intended business plan and prevent the portfolio from liquidating its position upon favorable terms. All of these factors may limit the portfolio’s return under certain circumstances. U.S. Government Securities Risk – Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are still subject to the credit risk of the U.S. Government and are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if it is not obligated by law to do so. Warrants Risk - Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Warrants may be more speculative than other types of investments. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. Voting Client Securities SIMC has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that SIMC votes proxies in the best interest of its clients. SIMC has retained a third-party proxy voting service (the “Service”), to vote proxies with respect to applicable SIMC clients in accordance with approved guidelines (the “Guidelines”) and may deviate from voting in accordance with the Guidelines in certain limited exception scenarios (see below). SIMC also has a proxy voting committee (the “Committee”), comprised of SIMC employees, which approves the proxy voting guidelines or approves how SIMC should vote in certain scenarios. So long as the Service votes proxies in accordance with the Guidelines, SIMC maintains that there is an appropriate presumption that the manner in which SIMC voted was not influenced by, and did not result from, a conflict of interest. In addition to retaining the Service, SIMC has also engaged a separate third- party vendor to assist with company engagement services (the “Engagement Service”). The Engagement Service strives to help investors manage reputational risk and increase corporate accountability through proactive, professional and constructive engagement. As a result of this process, the Engagement Service will at times provide to SIMC recommendations that may conflict with the Guidelines (see below for more detail). SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendation, in certain/limited scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Service’s recommendation. The exercise of such right could implicate a conflict of interest. As a result, SIMC may not overrule the Service’s recommendation with respect to a proxy unless the following steps are taken:  a. The Committee meets to consider the proposal to overrule the Service’s recommendation. b. The Committee determines whether SIMC has a conflict of interest with respect to the issuer that is the subject of the proxy. If the Committee determines that SIMC has a conflict of interest, the Committee then determines whether the conflict is “material” to any specific proposal included within the proxy. If not, then SIMC can vote the proxy as determined by the Committee. c. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC has a material conflict of interest, SIMC may vote a proxy regarding that proposal in any of the following manners: 1. Obtain Client Consent or Direction – If the Committee approves the proposal to overrule the recommendation of the Service, SIMC must fully disclose to each client holding the security at issue the nature of the conflict and obtain the client’s consent to how SIMC will vote on the proposal (or otherwise obtain instructions from the client as to how the proxy on the proposal should be voted). 2. Use Recommendation of the Service – Vote in accordance with the Service’s recommendation. d. For any proposal where the Committee determines that SIMC does not have a material conflict of interest, the Committee may overrule the Service’s recommendation if the Committee reasonably determines that doing so is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients. If the Committee decides to overrule the Service’s recommendation, the Committee will maintain a written record setting forth the basis of the Committee’s decision. Notwithstanding these policies and procedures, actual proxy voting decisions of SIMC may have the effect of favoring the interests of other clients or businesses of SIMC and/or its affiliates, provided that SIMC believes such voting decisions to be in accordance with its fiduciary obligations. In some cases, the Committee may determine that it is in the best interests of SIMC’s clients to abstain from voting certain proxies. SIMC will abstain from voting in the event any of the following conditions are met with regard to a proxy proposal: • Neither the Guidelines nor specific client instructions cover an issue; • The Service does not make a recommendation on the issue; • In circumstances where, in SIMC’s judgment, the costs of voting the proxy exceed the expected benefits to clients; Share blocking; • • The Committee is unable to convene on the proxy proposal to make a determination as to what would be in the client’s best interest; and • Proxies in foreign jurisdictions where the requirements necessary to vote are not practical and create an administrative hurdle that SIMC is unable to clear in the required (usually limited) time frame. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting mutual fund proxies for any and all mutual funds maintained in client portfolios. With respect to proxies of an affiliated investment company or series thereof (e.g., the SEI U.S. mutual funds) SIMC will vote such proxies in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders of the investment company or series thereof (i.e., “echo vote” or “mirror vote”). Client Directed Votes. SIMC clients who have delegated voting responsibility to SIMC with respect to  their account may from time to time contact their client representative if they would like to direct SIMC to vote in a particular solicitation. SIMC will use its commercially reasonable efforts to vote according to the client’s request in these circumstances and cannot provide assurances that such voting requests will be implemented. Clients may only direct votes with respect to securities held directly by the client. The Client may not direct votes for securities held by a Pooled Investment Vehicle unless otherwise disclosed in such products prospectus or offering documents. As noted above, SIMC retains the authority to overrule the Service’s recommendations in certain scenarios and instruct the Service to vote in a manner at variance with the Guidelines. In all such cases, this requires the Committee to rule out any material conflict (as noted above) prior to overriding the Guidelines. Areas where SIMC may consider overriding the Guidelines include: Requests by third-party sub-advisers within the SEI U.S. mutual funds to direct certain votes; and Recommendations by the Engagement Service. • • Clients may obtain a copy of SIMC’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request. Clients may also obtain information from SIMC about how SIMC voted any proxies on behalf of their account(s) by either referring to Form N-PX (for SEI Funds) or by contacting your client service representative. Certain SIMC clients have either retained the ability to vote proxies with respect to their account, or have delegated that proxy voting authority to a third-party selected by the client. In those circumstances, SIMC is not responsible for voting proxies in the account or for overseeing the voting of such proxies by the client or its designated agent. With respect to those clients for which SIMC does not conduct proxy voting, clients should work with their custodians to ensure they receive their proxies and other solicitations for securities held in their account. Clients may contact their client service representative if they have a question on particular proxy voting matters or solicitations. Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers SIMC collects various information about the Client prior to opening an account including, without  limitation: Client name, type of account, social security number, investment objective, investment strategy and investment restrictions. SIMC also sends to sub-advisors reasonably requested information regarding the Client including, but not limited to: Client account number, account name, whether the account is taxable or non-taxable, investment guidelines and restrictions and, for fixed income strategies, state of residence and social security numbers. SIMC will send updates to the sub-advisors regarding this information on an as-needed basis. Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers Clients may contact SIMC directly. Item 9 – Additional Information Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of SIMC or the integrity of SIMC’s management. SIMC has no information applicable to this Item. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations SIMC, which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of SEIC, may hire affiliates and third parties to perform services for SIMC and its Clients. Some of these relationships could create conflicts of interest. These relationships are described below. Hiring of Sub-Advisors As a manager-of-managers, SIMC hires sub-advisors to provide day-to-day securities selection for many of its investment products. SIMC has hired an affiliated advisor, LSV Asset Management (“LSV”) to serve as sub-advisors to some of SIMC’s investment products. Specifically, SIMC’s parent company, SEIC, maintains a minority ownership interest (approximately 39% as of December 31, 2025) in LSV, which is a sub-advisor in the SEI Funds and MAS. SIMC is incentivized to hire and recommend LSV as a sub-advisor to increase its earnings with respect to its ownership interest. To mitigate this conflict of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it is affiliated or unaffiliated, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable program and/or strategy offering. Additionally, to the extent LSV is managing SEI Fund assets, it is subject to the same Board of Trustees approval process as non-affiliated sub-advisors and the affiliation is disclosed in the SEI Fund prospectuses. SIMC also hires sub-advisors for its investment products who may also be investment advisors/sub-advisors to other investment products offered by SIMC’s affiliates and partners. Therefore, SIMC has an incentive to recommend a firm for sub-advisory services for its investment products because they are also providing services to SIMC’s affiliates and partners. To mitigate this conflict of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated service noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable program and/or strategy offering. Additionally, some of the sub-advisors that SIMC selects for the SEI Funds and MAS may also be customers of SEIC for other services and products (e.g., technology solutions, middle and back office platform solutions, turn-key pooled product solutions) for which SIMC’s affiliates are also compensated, which could influence SIMC’s decisions when recommending or retaining sub-advisors. To mitigate these conflicts of interest, each sub-advisor, regardless of whether it provides or receives the affiliated services  noted above, is subject to SIMC’s standard manager due diligence and selection process for the applicable SEI program and/or strategy offering. Also, potential conflicts identified are raised to the Board of Trustees of the SEI Funds or to SIMC Compliance prior to the sub-advisor being hired by SIMC. Also, potential conflicts identified are raised to the Board of Trustees of the SEI Funds or to SIMC’s compliance team prior to the sub-advisor being hired by SIMC. Investment Products SIMC not only provides investment management and advisory services to individuals and institutions, it also serves as the investment advisor to its investment products, including the SEI Funds (including subsidiaries of such SEI Funds), SEI ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds, and collective investment funds (each of which is offered to clients through a separate market unit). Additionally, as described in this Brochure, SIMC is the sponsor of MAS. Accordingly, Clients pay SIMC investment advisory fees which are agreed to in the Client’s investment advisory agreement and pay SIMC investment advisory fees through the underlying investment products. However, SIMC generally, and to the extent required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and other applicable law, will credit any advisory fees earned by SIMC with respect to a Client’s investment in an underlying investment product against that Client’s account level fee. SEI Funds and SEI ETFs Other affiliates of SIMC provide various services to the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs (including subsidiaries of such Funds), for which they receive compensation. Specifically, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SGFS”) serves as administrator, SEI Institutional Transfer Agent, Inc. (“SITA”) serves as transfer agent, and SIDCO, serves as the distributor of the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. SIDCO and SPTC also provide shareholder services with respect to the SEI Fund and SEI ETFs. SIMC, SGFS, SIDCO and SPTC receive fees from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs determined as a percentage of the applicable fund's total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a Client invests in the SEI Funds or SEI ETFs SIMC’s affiliates benefit from the investment in the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for a Client, if applicable, such investments will be allocated in a manner which SIMC determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances in respect to all of its other clients. Some SEI Funds are “funds-of-funds,” meaning that an SEI Fund will invest in underlying funds, which in most cases will be other SEI Funds. When an SEI Fund invests in underlying SEI Funds, SIMC is advisor to both the fund-of-funds and the underlying SEI Funds and is paid an advisory fee by both Funds. As a result, SIMC could select those underlying SEI Funds that pay higher advisory fees to SIMC. To mitigate this risk, the SEI Funds are overseen by the SEI Funds Board of Trustees, which ensures that SIMC does not factor in the level of fees in its decision in the allocation of underlying SEI Funds in the fund-of- funds. SEI Alternative Funds Affiliates of SIMC (SEI Funds, Inc. and SEI Investment Strategies, LLC) serve as the general partner or director to several of the SEI Alternative Funds. SEI Global Services, Inc. or SEI Investments Global (Cayman) Limited also serves as administrator and transfer agent to certain SEI Alternative Funds. Collective Trust Funds SEI Trust Company (”STC”), a Pennsylvania chartered trust company, serves as trustee and investment manager to various collective trust funds in which SIMC invests certain client’s assets (to the extent they are eligible). SIMC also acts as an investment advisor to STC, and SITA as transfer agent, with respect to the various collective trust funds offered by STC. Non-U.S. Investors SIMC serves as investment advisor to proprietary Irish-regulated UCITS Funds (and other alternative  investment funds), which are sold to non-US investors. SIMC also serves as sub-advisor to several proprietary Canadian-registered mutual funds to which SIMC’s affiliates serve as advisor. Affiliated Custodian PWM Clients are typically required to custody their accounts at SIMC’s affiliate, SPTC, a limited purpose federal savings association. Except when included as part of SIMC’s MAS fee, SPTC charges the Client a fee for these services as set forth in SPTC’s custodial agreement with the Client. SPTC’s services may be provided to Clients at a discounted rate or without additional charge. In connection with providing shareholder services to Clients invested in the SEI Funds, SPTC generally receives a shareholder service fee from the SEI Funds for providing those services, although SPTC may reduce or waive its custodial fees on Client’s holding of these funds. SPTC provides a custodial sweep function whereby uninvested cash in Client accounts is, on a daily basis, moved into the Sweep Fund. And, as described earlier in the Brochure, in connection with servicing accounts, SPTC generally requires a minimum of 1% of Client’s account be invested in the Sweep Fund. In most cases, MAS model allocations reflect this cash requirement. SIMC and its affiliates will earn fees from the Client’s holding of the SEI Sweep Fund. SPTC may also provide trust, custody and/or record-keeping services to SIMC’s other clients, including some of the Pooled Investment Vehicles. Affiliated Broker-Dealer As explained in Item 6 of this brochure, SIMC or sub-advisors will execute certain brokerage transactions using SIMC’s affiliated broker-dealer, SIDCO. And, SIMC will generally execute all equity trading in MAS and in the SEI ETFs through SIDCO. SIDCO also receives shareholder service, administration service and/or distribution fees from the SEI Funds and SEI ETFs, portions of which are paid by SIDCO to affiliates or third parties that provide such services. SIDCO also receives distribution or creation unit servicer fees from certain third-party ETFs and their sponsors when providing services to those firms under services agreements between SIDCO and such firms. A conflict of interest exists because SIDCO may earn additional fees to the extent that such ETFs are purchased by an SEI Fund or as part of MAS. SIMC anticipates that any resultant increase in fees payable to SIDCO would be immaterial. In addition, certain SIMC employees are also registered representatives of SIDCO. Such individuals do not receive additional compensation by virtue of their role with SIDCO. See Item 4 for additional information on SIMC’s use of broker-dealers, including SIDCO. Commodity Pool Operator and SWAP Firm SIMC is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator (“CPO”) and SWAP firm with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and certain SIMC employees are registered with the CFTC as Principals and/or Associated Persons. Code of Ethics and Personal Trading When SIMC employees have access to nonpublic information, conflicts may arise between the interests of the employee and those of a client. For example, a SIMC employee could gain information on the purchase or sale of securities by a SIMC client, or portfolio holdings information for a particular client. The SIMC employee could use this information to take advantage of available investment opportunities, take an investment opportunity from a client for the employee’s own portfolio, or front-run (which occurs when an employee trades in his or her personal account before making client transactions). As a fiduciary, SIMC owes a duty of loyalty to clients, which requires that a SIMC employee must always place the interests of clients first and foremost and shall not take inappropriate advantage of his/her position. Thus, SIMC personnel must conduct themselves and their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not create conflicts with the firm. SIMC has adopted a Code of Ethics to reinforce to its employees SIMC’s principles of integrity and ethics, and to enforce compliance with applicable regulations and best practices. Under the SIMC Code of Ethics, SIMC employees that are characterized as Access Persons and their family members with whom they  reside must disclose personal securities holdings and personal securities transactions. Access Persons are SIMC employees that have access to non-public information regarding any client’s purchase or sale of securities or who are involved in making, or have non-public access to, securities recommendations to clients. Access Persons are also subject to certain trade pre-clearance and reporting standards for their personal securities transactions. Additionally, certain Access Persons may not purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any “Covered Security” (which is defined in the Code) within 24 hours before or after the time that the same Covered Security is being purchased or sold in any SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Some Access Persons may not purchase or sell such securities within seven days of a transaction for a SIMC Investment Vehicle account. Certain Access Persons also may not profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of a Covered Security within 60 days of acquiring or disposing of beneficial ownership of that Covered Security. Finally, Access Persons may not acquire securities as part of an initial public offering or a private placement transaction without the prior consent of SIMC Compliance. The Code of Ethics also includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information and market timing, and also incorporates SEIC’s insider trading policy by reference. All supervised persons at SIMC are trained on the Code of Ethics and must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics upon hire and on an annual basis. SIMC anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which SIMC has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which SIMC, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. SIMC’s employees and persons associated with SIMC are required to follow SIMC’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of SIMC and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for SIMC’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of SIMC will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is monitored under the Code of Ethics, to seek to prevent conflicts of interest between SIMC and its clients. Clients and prospects may request a copy of SIMC’s Code of Ethics by e-mailing SIMCCompliance@seic.com or sending a request to: SEI Investments Management Corporation, Attn: SIMC Compliance, One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions (Side-By-Side Management) As explained above, among its other recommendations, SIMC recommends to its Clients to invest in Pooled Investment Vehicles to which SIMC also serves as investment advisor when SIMC believes such recommendation is appropriate for the Client. For example, SIMC, as investment manager to a Client, may recommend that they invest in the SEI Funds, SEI ETFs, SEI Alternative Funds, SEI Interval Funds or a managed account, or a private fund, where SIMC also serves as investment advisor and receives a fee for those services. This creates a conflict of interest whereby SIMC has a financial incentive to recommend an unsuitable SIMC investment product to a SIMC client in order for SIMC and its affiliates to receive additional fees. SIMC discloses its fees in the offering documents for each Pooled Investment Vehicle. To the extent that a particular investment is suitable for a client, if applicable, such investments will be allocated in a manner which SIMC determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances in respect to all of its other Clients. SIMC and its affiliates in some instances advise one client or take actions for a client, for itself, for its affiliates, or for their related persons that are different from the advice given or actions taken for other clients. SIMC, its affiliates, and their related persons are not obligated to buy or sell for a client any investment that they may buy, sell, or recommend for any other client or for their own accounts. Persons associated with SIMC or its affiliates may themselves have investments in the SEI Funds.  It is SIMC’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal securities transactions for client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where SIMC, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliate (i.e., SIDCO), buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. In limited circumstances, SIMC may affect cross-transactions in which SIMC may affect transactions between two of its managed client accounts (i.e., arranging for the clients' securities trades by "crossing" these trades when SIMC believes that such transactions are beneficial to its clients). For all such transactions, SIDCO may act as a broker, and may receive any commission. The client may revoke SIMC's cross-transaction authority at any time upon written notice to SIMC. Client Referrals and Other Compensation SIMC and its affiliates receive fees from the SEI Funds, which are determined as a percentage of the SEI Funds’ total assets. Therefore, to the extent that SIMC recommends that a client invest in the SEI Funds, SIMC and its affiliates indirectly benefit from investment in the SEI Funds. Please see Item 4 for additional information. SIMC enters into solicitation arrangements with third parties who will receive a solicitation fee from SIMC for introducing prospective clients to the SIMC. Additionally, SIMC may compensate SIMC employees who will receive a fee (determined based on the fee paid to SIMC by the client) for introducing prospective clients to SIMC. In all cases these solicitation arrangements are designed and implemented in a manner to comply with Investment Adviser Act Rule 206(4)-1 and applicable state laws. Financial Information Registered investment advisors are required in this Item to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about SIMC’s financial condition. SIMC has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
