Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Fund shares.

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Annual Fund Operating Expenses
Class A Prospectus
SAAT TAX-MANAGED AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY FUND
SAAT TAX-MANAGED AGGRESSIVE STRATEGY FUND - CLASS A
Management Fees 0.10%
Distribution (12b-1) Fees none
Other Expenses 0.28%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (AFFE) 1.02%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses [1] 1.40%
[1] Because the Fund incurred AFFE during the most recent fiscal year, the operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund's financial statements (or the "Financial Highlights" section in the prospectus) because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund, not the indirect costs of investing in underlying funds.
EXAMPLE

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 34% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal circumstances, the Tax-Managed Aggressive Strategy Fund will seek to generate long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests in other SEI funds, each of which has its own investment goal (the Underlying SEI Funds). The Underlying SEI Funds invest, in turn, in securities and other instruments of various asset classes. Each of the Underlying SEI Funds is managed by one or more sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) under the supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC or the Adviser), or, in certain circumstances, is managed directly by SIMC.


The Fund's assets may be diversified across Underlying SEI equity funds, bond and money market funds, and real estate funds. The equity funds may consist of a wide range of investment styles that provide investment exposure to U.S. and/or foreign equity securities of companies of various capitalization ranges. The bond funds may consist of a wide range of investment styles that provide exposure to U.S. and/or foreign fixed income securities of varying credit quality (including junk bonds), maturity and duration. The real estate funds provide exposure to the equity securities of real estate companies.


A portion of the U.S. equity component of the Fund's portfolio will be invested in "tax-managed" Underlying SEI Funds. Given this tax-managed strategy, the Fund is intended for investors subject to federal income taxation. Tax-exempt investors may wish to select Funds that do not have a tax-managed strategy.


The Fund's assets are allocated among a variety of Underlying SEI Funds within the following percentage ranges:

Principal Risks

The success of the Fund's investment strategy depends on SIMC's allocation of assets among the Underlying SEI Funds. In managing the Fund, SIMC may be incorrect in assessing market trends or the value or growth capability of particular asset classes. In addition, the methodology by which SIMC allocates the Fund's assets among the Underlying SEI Funds may not achieve desired results and may cause the Fund to lose money or underperform other comparable mutual funds.


The Underlying SEI Funds may apply any of a variety of investment strategies and may invest in a broad range of asset classes, securities and other investments to attempt to achieve their designated investment goals. The principal risks of the Fund's investments in the Underlying SEI Funds are set forth below.


Asset Allocation Risk — The risk that SIMC's decisions regarding asset classes and Underlying SEI Funds will not anticipate market trends successfully.


Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk — Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risk of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative.


Derivatives Risk — An Underlying SEI Fund's use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Market risk is the risk that the market value of an investment may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Leverage risk is the risk that a small percentage of assets invested in a derivative can have a disproportionately larger impact on an Underlying SEI Fund. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative instrument may not correlate perfectly with changes in the value of the derivative instrument's underlying asset, rate or index. Liquidity risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that an Underlying SEI Fund would like, which may cause the Underlying SEI Fund to have to lower the selling price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Underlying SEI Fund's management or performance. An Underlying SEI Fund's use of swaps and over-the-counter forward contracts and options is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security or counterparty to a derivatives contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor its financial obligation to the Underlying SEI Fund under the contract. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Each of the above risks could cause an Underlying SEI Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.


Equity Market Risk — The risk that prices of stocks will fall over short or extended periods of time.


Fixed Income Market Risk — The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar.


Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk — The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements, and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries since political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.


Investment Company Risk — When the Fund or an Underlying SEI Fund invests in an investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the investment company's expenses. In addition, while the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, the Fund may be subject to additional or different risks than if the Fund or an Underlying SEI Fund had invested directly in the underlying investments.


Real Estate Industry Risk — Securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry may be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, including fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions.


Short Sales Risk — A short sale involves the sale of a security that a fund does not own in the expectation of purchasing the same security (or a security exchangeable therefore) at a later date at a lower price. Short sales entered into by an Underlying SEI Fund expose the Fund to the risk that the Underlying SEI Fund will be required to buy a security sold short (also known as "covering" the short position) at a time when the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Underlying SEI Fund and, therefore, the Fund. Reinvesting proceeds received from short selling may create leverage, which can amplify the effects of market volatility on the share price of an Underlying SEI Fund and, therefore, the Fund. Investment in short sales may also cause an Underlying SEI Fund to incur expenses related to borrowing securities.


Small and Medium Capitalization Risk — Small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an exchange.


Taxation Risk — The Fund is managed to minimize tax consequences to investors, but will likely earn taxable income and gains from time to time.


Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund.

Average Annual Total Returns (for the periods ended December 31, 2012)

This table compares the Fund's average annual total returns for Class A Shares to those of a broad-based index and an additional index: the MSCI EAFE Index. The MSCI EAFE Index, in conjunction with the broad-based index, is used to track the broad range of allocations the Fund makes to the Underlying SEI Funds, while each index individually only tracks one specific allocation of the Fund. The foregoing indices, when considered together, may provide investors with a useful comparison of the Fund's overall performance.


After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
