SEI Cuts Clean Share Class Fees of Strategic Portfolios

SEI Lowers the Fees on Several Strategic Portfolios to Bring Parity Between Clean and Bundled Share Classes

LONDON -- (Marketwired) -- 08/27/13 -- SEI (NASDAQ: SEIC), which recently announced that its seven goals-based Strategic Portfolios have surpassed £1 billion in assets, is lowering the total fund fees of its clean share class of several funds by 5-10 basis points each to ensure alignment with the company's bundled share class.

The funds fees being lowered are the Wealth A share class of: the SEI Defensive Fund (with the total fund fee reduced to 0.65 percent from 0.70 percent); the SEI Conservative Fund (reduced to 0.75 percent from 0.80 percent); the SEI Moderate Fund (reduced to 0.80 percent from 0.90 percent); and the SEI Aggressive Fund (reduced to 1.05 percent from 1.11 percent).

The SEI Strategic Portfolios are risk-rated, multi-asset funds with a manager-of-manager investment structure that offers retail investors access to some of the best active institutional fund managers around the world.

"While we have offered a clean share class since the SEI Strategic Portfolios launched in 2009, for legacy reasons the prices of some of the funds were slightly out of alignment with their bundled equivalents," said Kevin Addison, Head of European Asset Management Distribution at SEI. "As a company committed to ensuring that all investors receive the best possible price, regardless of share class, we are pleased to adjust these fees appropriately."
