The SEI QiM U.S. Large Cap Low Volatility Active ETF seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. common stocks, while aiming to experience lower volatility compared to the broad U.S. large cap equity market.

QiM uses a quantitative-based, active stock selection investment process to construct the fund's portfolio, utilizing a combination of factor scoring model, risk model and optimization.

The factor scoring model evaluates all of the securities in the investment universe of U.S. large-capitalization stocks based on measures of Value, Momentum, Quality and Low Volatility factor families. The risk model predicts common factor and stock specific risks, while the optimization process weighs the desired exposure to certain factor characteristics against the objective to achieve lower volatility than the broad U.S. large cap equity market. Furthermore, the optimization process considers investment restrictions when constructing the portfolio.

There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for investment strategies that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative factors. Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in certain market environments, in some cases for extended periods. In such circumstances, an investment strategy may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses.

While the investment strategies are actively managed, the strategies’ investment process is expected to be heavily dependent on quantitative models, and the models may not perform as intended. The Funds may trade securities actively, which could increase transaction costs (thereby lowering performance) and could increase the amount of taxes you owe by generating short-term gains, which may be taxed at a higher rate.
