Quantitative model and process.
The model ranks securities based on certain criteria that measure exposure to desired factors for each strategy as determined by QiM. “Factors” are attributes used to describe potential drivers of return or risk of securities.
For example, the Price/Earnings ratio is a factor that is widely believed to be a useful indicator of whether a particular security is overpriced or underpriced.
To determine if this Fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the fund’s investment objective, risks, and charges and expenses. This and other information can be found in the fund’s prospectus, and if available, the summary prospectus, which can be obtained through the link above. Please read the prospectus carefully prior to investing.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC) is the adviser to the Fund, which is distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co (SIDCO). SIMC and SIDCO are wholly owned subsidiaries of SEI Investments Company (SEI).
The Quantitative Investment Management (QiM) team is a team within SIMC.
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.
