Additional information regarding SEI tax management: Certain Strategies may use tax-management techniques such as minimizing portfolio turnover, selling securities with the least tax impact, opportunistically harvesting losses, and seeking to avoid wash sales. When harvesting losses from the sale of a holding, a Strategy may seek to avoid a wash sale while maintaining exposure to the desired asset class. A Strategy may do so through the purchase of a fund offered by other fund families (Secondary Fund). Upon expiration of the wash sale period, the Secondary Fund will be sold, which may result in a short-term capital gain and the original fund will be repurchased.
