NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

August 31, 2016

 

1. ORGANIZATION

SEI Catholic Values Trust (the “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 8, 2014.

The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end investment company with two operational Funds: Catholic Values Equity Fund (“Equity Fund”) and Catholic Values Fixed Income Fund (“Fixed Income Fund”) (each a “Fund,” collectively, the “Funds”), both of which are diversified Funds. The Trust is registered to offer: Class A and Class Y shares of the Funds. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Funds’ prospectuses provide a description of each Fund’s investment objective and strategies.

In addition to its objective and strategies, each of the Funds makes investment decisions consistent with Catholic values on a range of social and moral concerns that may include: protecting human life; promoting human dignity; reducing arms production; pursuing economic justice; protecting the environment, and encouraging corporate responsibility. Potential investments for the Funds are first selected for financial soundness and then evaluated according to the Funds’ social criteria. The Adviser has engaged an independent compliance support organization that has identified a list of issuers that do not align with Catholic values. The Funds will not invest in issuers identified through this process. The Adviser reserves the right to modify the criteria from time to time to maintain alignment with evolving Catholic social and moral positions.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (other than securities traded on National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) or as otherwise noted below) at the last quoted sale price on an exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which the securities are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. The Funds value securities traded on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If available, debt securities, swaps (which are not centrally cleared), bank loans or collateralized debt obligations (including collateralized loan obligations), such as those held by the Funds, are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value, with the exception of ETFs, which are priced as equity securities. The prices of foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. If a security’s price cannot be obtained, as noted above, the Funds will value the securities using a bid price from at least one independent broker. If such prices are not readily available or cannot be valued using the methodologies described above, the Funds will value the security using the Funds’ Fair Value Pricing Policies and Procedures (“Fair Value Procedures”), as described below.

On the first day a new debt security purchase is recorded, if a price is not available from a third-party pricing agent or an independent broker, the security may be valued at its purchase price. Each day thereafter, the debt security will be valued according to the Funds’ Fair Value Procedures until a price from an independent source can be secured. Securities held by a Fund with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued by the amortized cost method, which involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter (absent unusual circumstances) assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuations in general market rates of interest on the value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which value, as determined by this method, is higher or lower than the price a Fund would receive if it sold the instrument. Further, the value of securities in the Fund can be expected to vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates. Should existing credit, liquidity or interest rate conditions in the relevant markets and issuer-specific circumstances suggest that amortized cost does not approximate fair value, then the amortized cost method may not be used.

 

22    SEI Catholic Values Trust / Semi-Annual Report / August 31, 2016


Options and warrants are valued at the last quoted sales price. If there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, long positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short positions are valued at the most recent ask price.

Futures and swaps cleared through a central clearing house (“centrally cleared swaps”) are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of exchange on which they are traded. The daily settlement prices for financial futures and centrally cleared swaps are provided by an independent source. On days when there is excessive volume, market volatility or the future or centrally cleared swap does not end trading by the time a Fund calculates its NAV, the settlement price may not be available at the time at which the Fund calculates its NAV. On such days, the best available price (which is typically the last sales price) may be used to value a Fund’s futures or centrally cleared swaps position.

Foreign currency forward contracts are valued at the current day’s interpolated foreign exchange rate, as calculated using the current day’s spot rate, and the thirty, sixty, ninety and one-hundred eighty day forward rates provided by an independent source.

Prices for most securities held by a Fund are provided daily by third-party independent pricing agents. SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”) or a Sub-Adviser (“Sub-Adviser”), as applicable, reasonably believes that prices provided by independent pricing agents are reliable. However, there can be no assurance that such pricing service’s prices will be reliable. SIMC or a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, will continuously monitor the reliability of prices obtained from any pricing service and shall promptly notify the Funds’ administrator if it believes that a particular pricing service is no longer a reliable source of prices. The Funds’ administrator, in turn, will notify the Fair Value Pricing Committee (the “Committee”) if it receives such notification from SIMC or a Sub-Adviser, as applicable, or if the Funds’ administrator reasonably believes that a particular pricing service is no longer a reliable source for prices.

The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures provide that any change in a primary pricing agent or a pricing methodology requires prior approval by the Board of Trustees (“Board”) or its designated sub-committee. However, when the change would not materially affect valuation of a Fund’s net assets or involve a material departure in pricing methodology from that of the Fund’s existing pricing agent or pricing methodology, approval may be obtained at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.

Securities for which market prices are not readily available, for which market prices are determined to be unreliable, or which cannot be valued using the methodologies described above are valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures established by the Board. The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through the Committee designated by the Board. The Committee is currently composed of two members of the Board, as well as representatives from SIMC and its affiliates. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: (i) the security’s trading has been halted or suspended, (ii) the security has been delisted from a national exchange, (iii) the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open, or (iv) the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. Examples of factors the Committee may consider include: (i) the facts giving rise to the need to fair value, (ii) the last trade price, (iii) the performance of the market or the issuer’s industry, (iv) the liquidity of the security, (v) the size of the holding in a Fund, or (vi) any other appropriate information.

The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.

For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security’s last trade and the time at which a Fund calculates its Net Asset Value (“NAV”). The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time a Fund calculates NAV if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”), including substantial fluctuations in domestic or foreign markets or occurrences not tied directly to the securities markets, such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant governmental actions, has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Fund calculates NAV. A Fund may invest in securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. As a result, the NAV of the Fund’s shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Fund shares.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

August 31, 2016

 

A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If SIMC or a Sub-Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate NAV, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. In addition, the Funds use several processes, with respect to certain securities to monitor the pricing data supplied by various sources, including price comparisons and price movements. Any identified discrepancies are researched and subject to the procedures described above.

The Equity Fund and Fixed Income Fund, which may hold international securities, use a third-party fair valuation vendor. The vendor provides a fair value for foreign securities held by the Funds based on certain factors and methodologies (involving, generally, tracking valuation correlations between the U.S. market and each non-U.S. security). Values from the fair value vendor are applied in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Committee. The Committee has also established a “confidence interval” which is used to determine the level of historical correlation between the value of a specific foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Committee is exceeded on a specific day, these Funds will value the non-U.S. securities in their portfolios that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the adjusted prices provided by the fair valuation vendor.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three tier hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 — Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 — Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the period ended August 31, 2016 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

For the period ended August 31, 2016, there have been no significant changes to the Trust’s fair valuation methodologies. For details of the investment classifications reference the Schedules of Investments.

Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Costs used in determining net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of securities are on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized using the accrual basis of accounting. Income from payment-in-kind securities is recorded daily based on the effective interest method of accrual.

Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Trust estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions.

Amortization and accretion is calculated using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of the security, which is not materially different from the effective interest method. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income.

Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds investing in international securities are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(i) market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; and

(ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

24    SEI Catholic Values Trust / Semi-Annual Report / August 31, 2016


The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities.

The Funds report certain foreign-currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for Federal income tax purposes.

Futures Contracts — To the extent consistent with its Investment Objective and Strategies, a Fund may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund’s returns. In addition, fixed income funds will utilize futures contracts to help manage duration and yield curve exposure. These Funds’ investments in futures contracts are designed to enable the Funds to more closely approximate the performance of their benchmark indices. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are market-to-market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, futures contracts involve the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.

Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

It is the Funds’ policy to present the gross variation margin payable and the gross variation margin receivable of the future contracts separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as the Funds do not have a master netting agreement with the counter party to the future contracts.

Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open futures contracts as of August 31, 2016, if applicable.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds — Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation rises or falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted upward or downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a larger or smaller principal amount) will be increased or reduced, respectively. Any upward or downward adjustment in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be included in interest income in the Statement of Operations, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.

Options Written/Purchased — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, a Fund may invest in financial options contracts to add return or to hedge their existing portfolio securities. When the Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from purchasing or writing options which expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. In connection with option agreement securities may be set aside as collateral by a Fund’s custodian.

The cost of purchased options and the premiums received for written options that are presented in the Schedule of Investments are representative of the volume of activity during the period ended August 31, 2016.

Securities Sold Short — To the extent consistent with its Investment Objective and Strategies, a Fund may engage in short sales. Short sales are transactions under which a Fund sells a security it does not own. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. A Fund then is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of the replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by a Fund. Until the security is replaced, a Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to any dividends or interest that accrue during the period of the loan. Dividends and interest are shown as an expense for financial reporting purposes. To borrow the security, a Fund also may be required to pay a premium, which would decrease proceeds of the security sold. The proceeds of the short sale are retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. A gain, limited to the price at which a Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the close of a short sale.

Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding securities sold short as of August 31, 2016, if applicable.

Swap Agreements — To the extent consistent with its Investment Objective and Strategies, a Fund may invest in swap contracts as an efficient means to synthetically obtain exposure to securities or baskets of securities and to manage a Fund’s interest rate duration and yield curve exposure. Swap contracts may also be used to mitigate a Fund’s overall level of risk and/or a Fund’s risk to particular types of securities, currencies or market segments. Interest rate swaps may further be used to manage a Fund’s yield spread sensitivity. A Fund may buy credit default swaps in an attempt to manage credit risk where a Fund has credit exposure to an issuer, and a Fund may sell credit default swaps to more efficiently gain credit exposure to a security or basket of securities. A swap agreement is a two-party contract under which an agreement is made to exchange returns from predetermined investments or instruments, including a particular interest rate, foreign currency, or “basket” of securities representing a particular index. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market (“OTC swaps”) or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered commodities exchange (“Centrally Cleared swaps”). Interest rate swaps involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments) with respect to a notional amount of principal. Credit default swaps involve periodic payments by a Fund or counterparty based on a specified rate multiplied by a notional amount assigned to an underlying debt instrument or group of debt instruments in exchange for the assumption of credit risk on the same instruments. In the event of a credit event, usually in the form of a credit rating downgrade, the party receiving periodic payments (i.e. floating rate payer) must pay the other party (i.e. fixed rate payer) an amount equal to the recovery rate used to settle the contracts. The recovery rate is a function of how many credit default swap investors wish to deliver the security or receive the security. The recovery rate is determined through an auction process. Total return swaps allow an investor to benefit from the cash flow without ever actually owning the underlying security. The receiver must pay any decline in value to the payer at the end of the total return swap. However, the investor does not need to make a payment if there is no decline in price. Payments can be made on various indices, bonds (i.e. mortgage backed securities, bank debt and corporate), loans or commodities. The value of a total return swap is equal to the change in value of the underlying asset versus the accrued income payment based on LIBOR or some other form of indices on the notional amount. Payments received or made are recorded as realized gains or loss. A Fund could be exposed to credit or market risk due to unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statement of assets and liabilities. Interest rate swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after a Fund’s portfolio. In connection with swap agreements securities may be set aside as collateral by a Fund’s custodian.

Swaps are market-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the resulting changes in market values, if any, are recorded as an

 

26    SEI Catholic Values Trust / Semi-Annual Report / August 31, 2016


unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Centrally Cleared swaps are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board on exchange on which they are traded. The daily settlement prices for centrally cleared swaps are provided by an independent source. Net payments of interest are recorded as realized gains or losses. Daily changes in valuation of Centrally Cleared swaps, if any, are recorded as a receivable or payable for the change in value as appropriate (“variation margin”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreement may default on its obligation to perform and that there may be unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates. Risks also arise from potential losses from adverse market movements.

It is the Funds’ policy to present the gross variation margin payable and the gross variation margin receivable of the swap contracts separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as the Funds do not have a master netting agreement with the counter party to the swap contracts. See Note 3 for further details. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, for details regarding open swap agreements as of August 31, 2016, if applicable.

Delayed Delivery Transactions — To the extent consistent with its Investment Objective and Strategies, a Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed delivery purchases are outstanding, the Fund will set aside liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When the Fund has sold a security on a delayed delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.

Collateralized Debt Obligations — To the extent consistent with its Investment Objective and Strategies, a Fund may invest in collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), which include collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and other similarly structured securities. CLOs are a type of asset-backed securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. CDOs may charge management fees and administrative expenses.

For CDOs, the cash flows from the trust are split into two or more portions, called tranches, varying in risk and yield. The riskiest portion is the “equity” tranche which bears the bulk of defaults from the bonds or loans in the trust and serves to protect the other, more senior tranches from default in all but the most severe circumstances. Since it is partially protected from defaults, a senior tranche from a CDO trust typically has a higher rating and lower yield than its underlying securities, and can be rated investment grade. Despite the protection from the equity tranche, CDO tranches can experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, increased sensitivity to defaults due to collateral default and disappearance of protecting tranches, market anticipation of defaults, as well as aversion to CDO securities as a class.

The risks of an investment in a CDO depend largely on its Class and its collateral securities. Normally, CLOs and other CDOs are privately offered and sold, and thus, are not registered under the securities laws. As a result, investments in CDOs may be characterized by the Funds as illiquid securities; however, an active dealer market may exist for CDOs, allowing a CDO to qualify for Rule 144A transactions. In addition to the normal risks associated with fixed income securities (e.g., interest rate risk and default risk), CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the Funds may invest in CDOs that are subordinate to other classes; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if it cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days or less for its approximate carrying value on the books of a Fund. Valuations of illiquid securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market value for these securities existed.

Restricted Securities — Throughout the period, the Funds owned private placement investments that were purchased through private offerings or acquired through initial public offerings that could not be sold without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to an exemption there from. In addition, the Funds had generally agreed to further restrictions on the disposition of certain holdings as set forth in various agreements entered into in connection with the purchase of those investments. These investments were valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. At August 31, 2016, the Funds did not own any restricted securities.

Classes — Class-specific expenses are borne by that class of shares. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses and non- class-specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative daily net assets.

Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Funds are prorated to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Equity Fund will distribute its net investment income annually. The Fixed Income Fund declares its net investment income daily and distributes monthly. The Funds make distributions of capital gains, if any, at least annually.

Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) — Dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications including management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Offering Costs — The Funds’ offering costs, which include typesetting and prospectus printing, and preparation of the initial registration statement, are being amortized over a twelve-month period from inception and can be found on the Statement of Operations. As of August 31, 2016, all offering costs have been amortized by the Funds.

3. CREDIT DERIVATIVES

A Fund may use credit default swaps to reduce risk where a Fund has exposure to the issuer, or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of an event of default. The reference obligation of the swap can be a single issuer, a “basket” of issuers, or an index. The underlying referenced assets are corporate debt, sovereign debt and asset backed securities.

The buyer of a credit default swap is generally obligated to pay the seller a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract in return for a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event with respect to an underlying reference obligation. Generally, a credit event for corporate or sovereign reference obligations means bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, credit event may be triggered by events such as failure to pay principal, maturity extension, rating downgrade or write-down.

If a Fund is a seller of protection, and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will generally either (i) pay to the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations, or underlying securities comprising a referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising a referenced index.

If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

As of August 31, 2016, the Fixed Income Fund is the seller (“providing protection”) on a total notional amount of $0.5 million. The notional amounts of the swaps are not recorded in the financial statements. The notional amounts approximate the maximum potential amount

  * The credit spread on the underlying asset is generally indicative of the current status of the underlying risk of the Fund having to perform. The spread also reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into a contract. Higher credit spreads with a shorter contract term is indicative of a higher likelihood of performance by the Fund.

The credit spread disclosed above for each reference obligation where the Fund is the seller of protection is a representation of the current payment/performance risk of the swap.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS, INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Advisory, Administration, Distribution and Custodian Agreements — SIMC serves as each Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”) and “manager of managers” under an investment advisory agreement approved by the shareholders of each Fund. In connection with serving as Adviser, SIMC is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”) provides the Trust with administrative and transfer agency services. For its services, the Administrator is entitled to a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

The Fund has adopted a shareholder servicing plan (the “Shareholder Servicing Plan”) under which a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares of the Funds will be paid to other service providers. Under the Shareholder Servicing Plan, other service providers may perform, or may compensate other service providers for performing, certain shareholder and administrative services.

The Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor have voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of their fees in order to keep total direct operating expenses (exclusive of interest from borrowings, brokerage commissions, taxes, Trustee fees, prime broker fees, interest and dividend expenses related to short sales and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business) at a specified level.

The waivers by the Funds’ Adviser, Administrator and/ or Distributor are limited to the Funds’ direct operating expenses and, therefore, do not apply to indirect expenses incurred by the Funds, such as acquired fund fees and expenses. The waivers are voluntary and the Funds’ Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor may discontinue all or part of any of these waivers at any time. In addition, some Funds may participate in a commission recapture program where the Funds’ trades may be executed through the Funds’ distributor, and a portion of the commissions paid on those trades are then used to pay the Funds’ expenses.

7. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes and distribute all of its taxable income (including net capital gains). Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income or accumulated net realized gain, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the period ended February 29, 2016 was as follows:

Post October losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016 that, in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, the Funds may defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal year. Deferred Late-Year Losses represent ordinary losses realized on investment transactions from April 30, 2015 through February 29, 2016 and specified losses realized on investment transactions from April 30, 2015 through February 29, 2016, that, in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, the Fund defers and treats as having arisen in the following fiscal year.

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at August 31, 2016, and net realized gains or losses on securities sold for the period, were different from amounts reported for financial reporting purposes, primarily due to wash sales which cannot be used for Federal income tax purposes in the current year and have been deferred for use in future years.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of August 31, 2016, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ Federal and state income and Federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

8. CONCENTRATION/RISKS

In the normal course of business, a Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications by a Fund to the counterparty to the contract. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against a Fund and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, management believes the risk of loss from such claim is considered remote.

The following descriptions provide additional information about some of the risks of investing in the Funds:

Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and asset-backed securities may not have the benefit of any security interest in the related assets.

Catholic Values Investing Risk — The Funds consider the Guidelines in its investment process and may choose not to purchase, or may sell, otherwise profitable investments in companies which have been identified as

 

32    SEI Catholic Values Trust / Semi-Annual Report / August 31, 2016


being in conflict with the Guidelines. This means that the Funds may underperform other similar mutual funds that do not consider the Guidelines when making investment decisions.

Currency Risk — To the extent a Fund takes positions in currencies, it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.

Fixed Income Market Risk — The prices of a Fund’s 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. Generally, the Fund’s fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. 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.

Interest Rate Risk — The risk that a rise in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government Securities, in which the Fund invests. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates. A low interest rate environment may present greater interest rate risk, because there may be a greater likelihood of rates increasing and rates may increase more rapidly.

Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk — Mortgage-backed securities are affected by, among other things, interest rate changes and the possibility of prepayment of the underlying mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to the risk that underlying borrowers will be unable to meet their obligations.

Please refer to each Fund’s current prospectus for additional disclosure regarding the risks associated with investing in the Funds. The foregoing is not intended to be a complete discussion of the risks associated with the investment strategies of the Funds

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

August 31, 2016

 

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from the fund’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the fund’s expense ratio.

The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (March 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016).

The table on this page illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expense Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING FUNDS’ INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

 

SEI Catholic Values Trust (the “Trust”) and SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC”) have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, SIMC is responsible for the investment advisory services provided to the series of the Trust (the “Funds”). Pursuant to separate sub-advisory agreements with SIMC (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Investment Advisory Agreements”), and under the supervision of SIMC and the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), the sub-advisers (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”) provide security selection and certain other advisory services with respect to all or a discrete portion of the assets of the Funds. The Sub-Advisers are also responsible for managing their employees who provide services to the Funds. The Sub-Advisers are selected based primarily upon the research and recommendations of SIMC, which evaluates quantitatively and qualitatively the Sub-Advisers’ skills and investment results in managing assets for specific asset classes, investment styles and strategies.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that the initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreements be specifically approved: (i) by the vote of the Board or by a vote of the shareholders of the Funds; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Investment Advisory Agreements or “interested persons” of any party (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval(s). In connection with their consideration of such approval(s), the Funds’ Trustees must request and evaluate, and SIMC and the Sub-Advisers are required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that, as part of their fiduciary duties with respect to a mutual fund’s fees, mutual fund boards are required to evaluate the material factors applicable to a decision to approve an Investment Advisory Agreement.

Consistent with these responsibilities, the Board calls and holds meetings each year to consider whether to approve new and/or renew existing Investment Advisory Agreements between the Trust and SIMC and SIMC and the Sub-Advisers with respect to the Funds of the Trust. In preparation for these meetings, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by SIMC and the Sub-Advisers, including information about SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ affiliates, personnel and operations and the services provided pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements. The Board also receives data from third parties. This information is provided in addition to the detailed information about the Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to Fund operations and Fund performance. The Trustees also receive a memorandum from counsel regarding the responsibilities of Trustees in connection with their consideration of whether to approve the Trust’s Investment Advisory Agreements. Finally, the Independent Trustees receive advice from independent counsel to the Independent Trustees, meet in executive sessions outside the presence of Fund management and participate in question and answer sessions with representatives of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers.

Specifically, during the course of the Trust’s fiscal year, the Board requested and received written materials from SIMC and the Sub-Advisers regarding: (i) the quality of SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ investment management and other services; (ii) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ investment management personnel; (iii) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ operations and financial condition; (iv) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements) and investment strategies; (v) the level of the advisory fees that SIMC charges the Funds and the level of the sub-advisory fees that SIMC pays the Sub-Advisers, compared with fees each charge to comparable accounts; (vi) the advisory fees charged by SIMC and the Funds’ overall fees and operating expenses compared with peer groups of mutual funds prepared by Broadridge, an independent provider of investment company data; (vii) the level of SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ profitability from their Fund-related operations; (viii) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ compliance program, including a description of material compliance matters and material compliance violations; (ix) SIMC’s potential economies of scale; (x) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ policies on and compliance procedures for personal securities transactions; (xi) SIMC’s and the Sub-Advisers’ expertise and resources in domestic and/or international financial markets; and (xii) the Funds’ performance over various periods of time compared with peer groups of mutual funds prepared by Broadridge and the Funds’ benchmark indices.

At the March 28-30, 2016 meeting of the Board, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. Also, each Sub-Advisory Agreement was either initially approved or, if the Sub-Advisory Agreement was already in effect, renewed at meetings of the Board held during the course of the Trust’s fiscal year on March 28-30, 2016 and June 20-22, 2016. In each case, the Board’s approval (or renewal) was based on its consideration and evaluation of the factors described above, as discussed at the meetings and at prior meetings. The following discusses some, but not all, of the factors that were considered by the Board in connection with its assessment of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING FUNDS’ INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Concluded)

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by SIMC and the Sub-Advisers to the Funds and the resources of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Trustees evaluated, among other things, SIMC’s and each Sub-Adviser’s personnel, experience, track record and compliance program. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the nature, extent and quality of services provided by SIMC and the Sub-Advisers to the Funds and the resources of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates dedicated to the Funds were sufficient to support renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements. In addition to advisory services, the Board considered the nature and quality of certain administrative, transfer agency and other non-investment advisory services provided to the Funds by SIMC and/or its affiliates.

Performance. In determining whether to renew SIMC’s Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered the Funds’ performance relative to their peer groups and appropriate indices/benchmarks. The Trustees reviewed performance information for each Fund, noting that they receive performance reports that permit them to monitor each Fund’s performance at board meetings throughout the year. As part of this review, the Trustees considered the composition of each peer group and selection criteria. In assessing Fund performance, the Trustees considered a report compiled by Broadridge, an independent third-party that was engaged to prepare an assessment of the Funds in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement (the “Broadridge Report”). Based on the materials considered and discussed at the meetings, the Trustees found Fund performance satisfactory, or, where performance was materially below the benchmark and/or peer group, the Trustees were satisfied with the reasons provided to explain such performance. In connection with the approval or renewal of Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board considered the performance of the Sub-Adviser relative to appropriate indices/benchmarks. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the performance of the Funds was sufficient to support renewal of SIMC’s Advisory Agreement, and the performance of each Sub-Adviser was sufficient to support approval or renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Fees. With respect to the Funds’ expenses under the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the rate of compensation called for by the Investment Advisory Agreements and the Funds’ net operating expense ratio in comparison to those of the Funds’ respective peer groups. In assessing Fund expenses, the Trustees considered the information in the Broadridge Report, which included various metrics related to fund expenses, including, but not limited to, contractual management fees at various fee levels, actual management fees, and actual total expenses (including underlying fund expenses) for the Funds and a universe of comparable funds. Based on the materials considered and discussion at the meetings, the Trustees further determined that fees were either shown to be below the peer average in the comparative fee analysis, or that there was a reasonable basis for the fee level. The Trustees also considered the effects of SIMC’s voluntary waiver of management and other fees to prevent total Fund operating expenses from exceeding a specified cap and concluded that SIMC, through waivers, has maintained the Funds’ net operating expenses at competitive levels for its distribution channels. In determining the appropriateness of fees, the Board also took into consideration the impact of fees incurred indirectly by the Funds as a result of investments into underlying funds, including funds from which SIMC or its affiliates earn fees. The Board also took into consideration compensation earned from the Funds by SIMC or its affiliates for non-advisory services, such as administration, transfer agency, shareholder services or brokerage, and considered whether SIMC and its affiliates may have realized other benefits from their relationship with the Funds, such as any research and brokerage services received under soft dollar arrangements. When considering fees paid to Sub-Advisers, the Board took into account the fact that the Sub-Advisers are compensated by SIMC and not by the Funds directly, and that such compensation with respect to any unaffiliated Sub-Adviser reflects an arms-length negotiation between the Sub-Adviser and SIMC. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the expenses of the Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements. The Board also considered whether the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates may have realized other benefits from their relationship with the Funds, such as any research and brokerage services received under soft dollar arrangements.

Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Trustees considered compensation flowing to SIMC and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, directly or indirectly. The Trustees considered whether the levels of compensation and profitability were reasonable. As with the fee levels, when considering the profitability of the Sub-Advisers, the Board took into account the fact that compensation with respect to any unaffiliated Sub-Adviser reflects an arms-length

negotiation between the Sub-Adviser and SIMC. In connection with the approval or renewal of each Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board also took into consideration the impact that the fees paid to the Sub-Adviser have on SIMC’s advisory fee margin and profitability. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the profitability of each of SIMC and the Sub-Advisers is reasonable and supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Economies of Scale. With respect to the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered whether any economies of scale were being realized by SIMC and their affiliates and, if so, whether the benefits of such economies of scale were passed along to the Funds’ shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule or other means, including any fee waivers by SIMC and its affiliates. The Trustees recognized that economies of scale are difficult to identify and quantify and are rarely identifiable on a fund-by-fund basis. Based on this evaluation, the Board determined that the fees were reasonable in light of the information that was provided by SIMC with respect to economies of scale.

Based on the Trustees’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of Fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, unanimously approved the approval or renewal, as applicable, of the Investment Advisory Agreements and concluded that the compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreements is fair and reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. In the course of its deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.
