3EDGE Asset Management Selects SEI to Launch ETFs

OAKS, Pa., Oct. 30, 2024 – SEI^® (NASDAQ:SEIC) today announced that 3EDGE Asset Management (3EDGE) selected the Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund^® (AIC) series trust as its operational platform to launch four new ETFs, which include:

• 3EDGE Dynamic Fixed Income ETF (NYSE: EDGF)
• 3EDGE Dynamic Hard Assets ETF (NYSE: EDGH)
• 3EDGE Dynamic International Equity ETF (NYSE: EDGI)
• 3EDGE Dynamic U.S. Equity ETF (NYSE: EDGU) 

Global ETF assets under management continue to grow and are expected to exceed $19.2 trillion by June 2028.¹ Following a record year of U.S. ETF launches in 2024, ² asset managers like 3EDGE are entering the market to meet investors’ evolving preferences in product type, asset allocation, and investment choices, and they are increasingly outsourcing fund operations to capitalize on these trends.

Monica Chandra, President of 3EDGE Asset Management, said:

“We have seen a strong demand for our active, tactical investment approach. These ETFs can be used standalone or as building blocks for multi-asset strategies and will help us deliver enhanced tax efficiency, while reducing portfolio turnover and transaction costs. SEI’s Advisors’ Inner Circle platform delivers a strong operational infrastructure along with high-touch service. We appreciated the support of SEI’s ETF specialists in helping us bring these solutions to market and bridge the gap between our approach as an asset manager and the new demands of managing an ETF.” 

John Alshefski, Senior Vice President and Head of SEI’s Traditional Investment Managers business, said: 

“We are pleased to welcome 3EDGE Asset Management to the Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund platform and are committed to providing them with the specialized skills and expertise required to successfully navigate the ETF ecosystem. We look forward to helping 3EDGE scale their business, while supporting their success and growth in the ETF market.”

SEI’s AIC recently reached $100 billion in net assets, supporting 47 clients and 128 funds.³ The Company helped pioneer the series trust concept more than 30 years ago by introducing the AIC with an institutional-quality turnkey mutual fund operating platform. Today, the AIC enables investment organizations to rapidly launch and grow mutual funds, ETFs, and interval and tender offer funds without having to build their own fund operating infrastructure. The platform is designed for asset managers seeking a more cost-effective way to operate their existing funds.
