Important Information

Information provided by SEI Investments Management Corporation (SEI), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (SEIC)

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Diversification may not protect against market risk. For those portfolios of individually managed securities, SEI makes recommendations as to which manager will manage each asset class. SEI may recommend the termination or replacement of a money manager and the investor has the option to move the account assets to another custodian or to change the manager as recommended. SEI is a wholly owned subsidiary of SEIC.

The program’s socially responsible investing (SRI) Guidelines may cause the manager to make or avoid certain investment decisions when it may be disadvantageous to do so. This means that accounts held in the program may underperform other similar investments that do not consider the SRI Guidelines when making investment decisions.

Neither SEI nor its affiliates provide tax advice. Please note that (i) any discussion of U.S. tax matters contained in this communication cannot be used by you for the purpose of avoiding tax penalties; (ii) this communication was written to support the promotion or marketing of the matters addressed herein; and (iii) you should seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.
