LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

August 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

To our shareholders:

The broad municipal bond (“muni”) market was higher, according to the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index, during the Funds’ reporting period—September 1, 2018, through August 31, 2019—steadily gaining after a brief selloff at the beginning of the fiscal year. Yields for AAA rated* municipals declined, with 10-year AAA municipal bonds within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index establishing a new record low yield of 1.21% in August 2019. Relative to U.S. Treasurys, municipal bonds outperformed, especially on the short end of the curve where demand for municipals was strongest. Financial market conditions later in the period in the U.S. reflected a continuation of trends, with continued strength in the labor markets and unemployment matching a 50-year low at 3.6%. Major central-bank policies diverged at the end of 2018 as the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) raised rates two times, in September and December, while the European Central Bank held rates steady, with short-term rates implying negative yields and a slower pace of normalization relative to the U.S. The Fed, however, reversed course in July, by cutting rates for the first time since 2008 in response to concerns about downside risk and the impact of global trade developments on the U.S. economy. The Bank of Japan and People’s Bank of China also continued their commitments to monetary accommodation during the reporting period.

Muni-market sector performance trends continued, with revenue bonds (which tend to be riskier, as they are not supported by the issuing government’s ability to levy taxes) outperforming general obligation bonds. Pre-refunded bonds lagged as investors sought yield, and the higher-quality and shorter-duration profile of the sector limited returns. Outside of municipals, qualified-dividend-income-eligible preferred stocks—which enjoy favorable tax treatment, but whose perpetual maturity makes the asset class even more sensitive to Fed rate moves—underperformed the muni market during the Funds’ fiscal year.

State issuers generally performed well. Driven by gains in income, California and Massachusetts benefited from ongoing improvements in tax collections. New York’s and Pennsylvania’s finances also improved due to economic expansion. From a credit-quality perspective, lower-quality investment-grade bonds generally continued to outperform higher-quality investment-grade bonds within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index. High-yield muni bonds led during the majority of the period, driven by low default rates and investors who continued to search for yield.

Supply and demand factors remained favorable during the Funds’ recently completed reporting period. On the supply side, muni issuance decreased from the prior period on an average monthly basis. Tax reform limiting itemized deductions (passed before the fiscal year) increased the allure of tax-exempt municipal bonds as one of the last remaining investments not subject to federal income tax. In the declining yield environment, demand for municipals remained robust, especially in high-tax states where the deduction cap made the tax exemption of municipals more attractive.

Within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index, AAA municipal bond yields fell less for longer maturities than shorter maturities, while the AAA municipal yield curve steepened relative to the Treasury curve. The Treasury curve inverted during the period, as yields for longer-term Treasurys fell below shorter-term rates; however, yields for

longer-term munis remained firmly above short-term yields.

On behalf of SEI, I want to thank you for your confidence in the SEI Tax Exempt Trust. We are dedicated to helping our investors reach their long-term objectives, and we look forward to serving your investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

August 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Intermediate-Term Municipal Fund

 

I. Objective

The Intermediate-Term Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide the highest level of income exempt from federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying on a number of sub-advisors with different investment approaches to manage portions of the Fund under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corp. (“SIMC”). The Fund utilized the following sub-advisors as of August 31, 2019: Delaware Investments Fund Advisers, a series of Macquarie Investment Management Business Trust, Mellon Investments Corporation and Wellington Management Company LLP.

III. Returns

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the Intermediate-Term Municipal Fund, Class F, returned 7.98%. The Fund’s benchmark—the Bloomberg Barclays 3-15 Year Intermediate Municipal Blend Index—returned

8.16%.

IV. Performance Discussion

Municipal yields peaked in the first quarter of the fiscal year but declined over the remainder of the period, breaking a string of two consecutive years of rising municipal yields. After raising rates in 25 basis-point increments at its September and December 2018 meetings, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in January 2019; rising trade tensions, political uncertainty and below-target inflation created uncertainty in the capital markets, prompting the Fed to change course and cut the federal-funds rate by 25 basis points in July 2019. Yields for AAA rated municipals declined, with 10-year AAA municipal bonds within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index establishing a new record low yield of 1.21% in August 2019. Relative to U.S. Treasurys, municipal bonds (as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index) outperformed, especially on the short end of the curve where demand for municipals was strongest.

Although tax reform was passed before the reporting period in 2017, its impact was still felt during the fiscal year as issuance declined. Demand for municipals was robust, with over 30 consecutive weeks of weekly fund inflows. Tax changes limiting itemized deductions increased the allure of tax-exempt municipal bonds as one of the last remaining investments not subject to

income tax. In the declining-yield environment, investor demand for higher-yielding securities was strong. Within the overall muni bond market—as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index—revenue and lower-quality bonds outperformed general obligation (“GO”) and higher-quality bonds, while Puerto Rico was able to move its restructuring process forward with a new sales tax revenue bond, and the momentum led it to be one of the best performing issuers during the reporting period; pre-refunded bonds lagged as the higher-quality and shorter duration profile of the sector limited returns.

The Fund’s slightly longer duration posture and curve positioning on the longer end of the curve was additive during the year as municipal yields declined across the entirety of the curve; long-term yields declined more than short-term yields. An overweight to BBB rated munis, which outperformed higher-quality municipal bonds, enhanced relative returns. Consistent with the relative sector performance outlined in the shareholder letter, an overweight to revenue bonds over GO bonds was additive, especially within the tobacco, hospitals and transportation sectors.

Mellon and Macquarie outperformed the Fund’s benchmark; both sub-advisors were slightly long duration, which was additive, while overweights to revenue bonds against GO bonds also enhanced performance for both managers. Macquarie further benefited from its overweight positioning in BBB rated and non-investment grade bonds; however, an underweight to BBB detracted for Mellon.

Wellington was added as the third sub-advisor to the Fund in July 2019 and maintained a slightly longer duration, an overweight to the long end of the yield curve, and an overweight to revenue bonds, all of which added to performance. Wellington’s overweight positions in BBB and non-investment grade bonds also added to performance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

August 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Short Duration Municipal Fund

 

I. Objective

The Short Duration Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of income exempt from federal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying on a number of sub-advisors with different investment approaches to manage portions of the Fund under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corp. (“SIMC”). The Fund utilized the following sub-advisors as of August 31, 2019: Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC, Wells Capital Management, Inc. and Western Asset Management Company.

III. Returns

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the Short Duration Municipal Fund, Class F, returned 2.15%. The Fund’s benchmark—the Bloomberg Barclays 1 Year Municipal Bond Index—returned 2.65%.

IV. Performance Discussion

Municipal yields peaked in the first quarter of the fiscal year but declined over the remainder of the period, breaking a string of two consecutive years of rising municipal yields. After raising rates in 25 basis-point increments at its September and December 2018 meetings, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in January 2019; rising trade tensions, political uncertainty and below-target inflation created uncertainty in the capital markets, prompting the Fed to change course and cut the federal-funds rate by 25 basis points in July 2019. Yields for AAA rated municipals declined, with 10-year AAA municipal bonds within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index establishing a new record low yield of 1.21% in August 2019. Relative to U.S. Treasurys, municipal bonds (as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index) outperformed, especially on the short end of the curve where demand for municipals was strongest.

Although tax reform was passed before the reporting period in 2017, its impact was still felt during the fiscal year as issuance declined. Demand for municipals was robust, with over 30 consecutive weeks of weekly fund inflows. Tax changes limiting itemized deductions increased the allure of tax-exempt municipal bonds as one of the last remaining investments not subject to income tax. In the declining-yield environment, investor demand for higher-yielding securities was strong. Within the overall muni bond market—as measured by

the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index— revenue and lower-quality bonds outperformed general obligation (“GO”) and higher-quality bonds, while Puerto Rico was able to move its restructuring process forward with a new sales tax revenue bond, and the momentum led it to be one of the best performing issuers during the reporting period; pre-refunded bonds lagged as the higher-quality and shorter duration profile of the sector limited returns.

The Fund’s overweight to three- and five-year maturities was additive, as those maturities outperformed the one-year bonds in the benchmark. Driven by investor demand for higher yields, an overweight to BBB rated securities also enhanced Fund performance. Consistent with the relative sector performance outlined in the shareholder letter, an overweight to revenue bonds benefited returns. The Fund’s short duration posture detracted as municipal yields declined during the year.

Western’s overweight to the outperforming transportation sector was additive, while its short duration posture subtracted. Neuberger’s overweight to the multi-family housing sector was additive, while its underweight to transportation detracted. A shorter duration posture by Wells was also a detractor as yields fell; however, its overweight to revenue bonds was beneficial.

California Municipal Bond Fund

 

I. Objective

The California Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide the highest level of current income exempt from federal and California state income taxes consistent with the preservation of capital.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a sub-advisor to manage the Fund’s portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corp. (“SIMC”). The Fund utilized the following sub-advisor as of August 31, 2019: Mellon Investments Corporation.

III. Returns

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the California Municipal Bond Fund, Class F, returned 7.16%. The Fund’s benchmark—the Bloomberg Barclays MF California Intermediate Municipal Index—returned 7.59%.

IV. Performance Discussion

Municipal yields peaked in the first quarter of the fiscal year but declined over the remainder of the period, breaking a string of two consecutive years of rising municipal yields. After raising rates in 25 basis-point increments at its September and December 2018 meetings, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in January 2019; rising trade tensions, political uncertainty and below-target inflation created uncertainty in the capital markets, prompting the Fed to change course and cut the federal-funds rate by 25 basis points in July 2019. Yields for AAA rated municipals declined, with 10-year AAA municipal bonds within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index establishing a new record low yield of 1.21% in August 2019.

In the declining-yield environment, investor demand for higher-yielding securities was strong. Within the overall muni bond market—as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index—revenue and lower-quality bonds outperformed general

obligation (“GO”) and higher-quality bonds, while Puerto Rico was able to move its restructuring process forward with a new sales tax revenue bond, and the momentum led it to be one of the best performing issuers during the reporting period; pre-refunded bonds lagged as the higher-quality and shorter duration profile of the sector limited returns.

The California economy continued to exceed overall U.S. economic growth during the fiscal year; the cap on state and local income-tax deductions also provided support to its municipal bonds, as higher incomes led to a gain in tax receipts, enabling state GO spreads to narrow. Consistent with the relative sector performance outlined in the shareholder letter, an overweight to revenue bonds, particularly the healthcare sector, enhanced Fund returns. A slightly longer duration posture benefited as yields declined during the fiscal period. An overweight to appropriated debt, which outperformed, was also additive. The Fund’s underweight to state GO bonds subtracted. Within the revenue sector, an underweight to tobacco bonds also held back performance.

Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund

 

I. Objective

The Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide the highest level of current income exempt from federal and Massachusetts state income taxes consistent with the preservation of capital.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a sub-advisor to manage the Fund’s portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corp. (“SIMC”). The Fund utilized the following sub-advisor as of August 31, 2019: Mellon Investments Corporation.

III. Returns

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund, Class F, returned 8.03%. The Fund’s benchmark—the Bloomberg Barclays MF Massachusetts Intermediate Municipal Index— returned 8.42%.

IV. Performance Discussion

Municipal yields peaked in the first quarter of the fiscal year but declined over the remainder of the period, breaking a string of two consecutive years of rising municipal yields. After raising rates in 25 basis-point increments at its September and December 2018 meetings, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in January 2019; rising trade tensions, political uncertainty and below-target inflation created uncertainty in the capital markets, prompting the Fed to change course and cut the federal-funds rate by 25 basis points in July 2019.

Consistent with the relative performance outlined in the shareholder letter, an overweight to BBB rated over higher-rated securities enhanced performance. The Fund’s slightly longer duration also added, as did an overweight to bonds with maturities on the intermediate portion of the yield curve, as those bonds outperformed. An overweight to revenue bonds benefited, while selection within the healthcare sector subtracted. The Fund’s underweight to Commonwealth of Massachusetts bonds also detracted, as state tax receipts increased in conjunction with economic expansion in Massachusetts, particularly in the metro Boston area.

After raising rates in 25 basis-point increments at its September and December 2018 meetings, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in January 2019; rising trade tensions, political uncertainty and below-target inflation created uncertainty in the capital markets, prompting the Fed to change course and cut the federal-funds rate by 25 basis points in July 2019. Yields for AAA rated municipals declined, with 10-year AAA municipal bonds within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index establishing a new record low yield of 1.21% in August 2019. Relative to U.S. Treasurys, municipal bonds (as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index) outperformed, especially on the short end of the curve where demand for municipals was strongest.

Although tax reform was passed before the reporting period in 2017, its impact was still felt during the fiscal year as issuance declined. Demand for municipals was robust, with over 30 consecutive weeks of weekly fund inflows. Tax changes limiting itemized deductions increased the allure of tax-exempt municipal bonds as one of the last remaining investments not subject to income tax. In the declining-yield environment, investor demand for higher-yielding securities was strong. Within the overall muni bond market—as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index—

revenue and lower-quality bonds outperformed general obligation (“GO”) and higher-quality bonds, while Puerto Rico was able to move its restructuring process forward with a new sales tax revenue bond, and the momentum led it to be one of the best performing issuers during the reporting period; pre-refunded bonds lagged as the higher-quality and shorter duration profile of the sector limited returns.

Consistent with the relative performance outlined in the shareholder letter, an overweight to BBB rated over higher-rated securities enhanced performance. The Fund’s overweight to revenue bonds and underweight to pre-refunded bonds also benefited performance. Selection within revenue bonds and holdings within the transportation and hospital sectors were additive, while an overweight to local GO bonds subtracted. The Fund’s underweight to New Jersey GO bonds also detracted; despite the state’s mounting pension and healthcare liabilities, its GO bonds performed well, as an expanding economy and limits on federal deductions increased demand.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

August 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

New York Municipal Bond Fund

 

I. Objective

The New York Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide the highest level of current income exempt from federal and New York state and city income taxes consistent with the preservation of capital.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a sub-advisor to manage the Fund’s portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corp. (“SIMC”). The Fund utilized the following sub-advisor as of August 31, 2019: Mellon Investments Corporation.

III. Returns

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the New York Municipal Bond Fund, Class F, returned 7.41%. The Fund’s benchmark—the Bloomberg Barclays MF New York Intermediate Municipal Index—returned 8.02%.

IV. Performance Discussion

Municipal yields peaked in the first quarter of the fiscal year but declined over the remainder of the period, breaking a string of two consecutive years of rising municipal yields. After raising rates in 25 basis-point increments at its September and December 2018 meetings, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in January 2019; rising trade tensions, political uncertainty and below-target inflation created uncertainty in the capital markets, prompting the Fed to change course and cut the federal-funds rate by 25 basis points in July 2019.

An underweight to New York City GO bonds detracted, as the city’s finances continued to improve in conjunction with the growth in the economy; the cap on state and local tax deductions increased the demand for tax-exempt securities, enabling credit-quality spreads to narrow. The Fund’s slightly longer duration also added, as did overweights to bonds with maturities on the intermediate portion of the yield curve, as those bonds outperformed. Consistent with the relative performance outlined in the shareholder letter, an overweight to BBB rated over higher-rated securities enhanced performance. Selection within revenue bonds also enhanced performance, especially within the healthcare sector, while an underweight to tobacco bonds subtracted.

Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund

 

I. Objective

The Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide current income exempt from federal and Pennsylvania state income taxes consistent with the preservation of capital.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a sub-advisor to manage the Fund’s portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corp. (“SIMC”). The Fund utilized the following sub-advisor as of August 31, 2019: Mellon Investments Corporation.

III. Returns

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Class F, returned 8.41%. The Fund’s benchmark—the Bloomberg Barclays MF Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Index—returned

9.74%.

IV. Performance Discussion

Municipal yields peaked in the first quarter of the fiscal year but declined over the remainder of the period, breaking a string of two consecutive years of rising municipal yields. After raising rates in 25 basis-point increments at its September and December 2018 meetings, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in January 2019; rising trade tensions, political uncertainty and below-target inflation created uncertainty in the capital markets, prompting the Fed to change course and cut the federal-funds rate by 25 basis points in July 2019. Yields for AAA rated municipals declined, with 10-year AAA municipal bonds within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index establishing a new record low yield of 1.21% in August 2019. Relative to U.S. Treasurys, municipal bonds (as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index) outperformed, especially on the short end of the curve where demand for municipals was strongest.

Although tax reform was passed before the reporting period in 2017, its impact was still felt during the fiscal year as issuance declined. Demand for municipals was robust, with over 30 consecutive weeks of weekly fund inflows. Tax changes limiting itemized deductions increased the allure of tax-exempt municipal bonds as one of the last remaining investments not subject to income tax. In the declining-yield environment, investor demand for higher-yielding securities was strong. Within the overall muni bond market—as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index—

revenue and lower-quality bonds outperformed general obligation (“GO”) and higher-quality bonds, while Puerto Rico was able to move its restructuring process forward with a new sales tax revenue bond, and the momentum led it to be one of the best performing issuers during the reporting period; pre-refunded bonds lagged as the higher-quality and shorter duration profile of the sector limited returns.

The Pennsylvania legislature continued to move forward on instituting a balanced budget; combined with improving economic growth, spreads on its bonds narrowed. An underweight to Pennsylvania GO bonds, which outperformed, detracted. Long-term fiscal challenges remain, but markets interpret two years of improved budget negotiations as progress. Selection within revenue bonds also held back returns, especially within the industrial development sub-sector.

The Fund’s slightly longer duration added, as did overweights to bonds with maturities on the intermediate portion of the yield curve, as those bonds outperformed both short-term and long-term bonds. Consistent with the relative performance outlined in the shareholder letter, an overweight to BBB rated over higher-rated securities enhanced performance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FUND PERFORMANCE

August 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

Tax-Advantaged Income Fund

 

I. Objective

The STET Tax-Advantaged Income Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide the highest level of income possible in a tax-efficient manner.

II. Investment Approach

The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying on a number of sub-advisors with different investment approaches to manage portions of the Fund under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corp. (“SIMC”). The Fund utilized the following sub-advisors as of August 31, 2019: Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (“PIMCO”), Spectrum Asset Management, Inc. and Wells Capital Management, Inc.

III. Returns

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, the Tax- Advantaged Income Fund, Class F, returned 7.90%. The Fund’s primary benchmark—the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index—returned 9.81%.

The Fund is designed to have exposure to a range of asset classes, not all of which are reflected in the primary benchmark of the Fund. Therefore, the Fund also utilizes a blended benchmark that consists of the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index (60%) and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index (40%). The Fund’s 60/40 blended benchmark is designed to provide a useful comparison for the Fund’s overall performance and reflects the Fund’s investment strategy more accurately than the broad-based index.

IV. Performance Discussion

Municipal yields peaked in the first quarter of the fiscal year but declined over the remainder of the period, breaking a string of two consecutive years of rising municipal yields. After raising rates in 25 basis-point increments at its September and December 2018 meetings, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) turned dovish in January 2019; rising trade tensions, political uncertainty and below-target inflation created uncertainty in the capital markets, prompting the Fed to change course and cut the federal-funds rate by 25 basis points in July 2019. Yields for AAA rated municipals declined, with 10-year AAA municipal bonds within the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index establishing a new record low yield of 1.21% in August 2019. Relative to U.S. Treasurys, municipal bonds (as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index) outperformed, especially on the short end of the curve where demand for municipals was strongest.

Although tax reform was passed before the reporting period in 2017, its impact was still felt during the fiscal year as issuance declined. Demand for municipals was robust, with over 30 consecutive weeks of weekly fund inflows. Tax changes limiting itemized deductions increased the allure of tax-exempt municipal bonds as one of the last remaining investments not subject to income tax. In the declining-yield environment, investor demand for higher-yielding securities was strong. Within the overall muni bond market—as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays US Municipal Bond Index—revenue and lower-quality bonds outperformed general obligation (“GO”) and higher-quality bonds, while Puerto Rico was able to move its restructuring process forward with a new sales tax revenue bond, and the momentum led it to be one of the best performing issuers during the reporting period; pre- refunded bonds lagged as the higher-quality and shorter duration profile of the sector limited returns.

The Fund’s exposure to preferred securities, which generally underperformed municipal bonds, detracted. Consistent with the relative performance outlined in the shareholder letter, lower-quality investment-grade bonds generally outperformed higher-quality investment-grade bonds over the full fiscal year, and the Fund’s overweight to BBB rated over higher-rated securities was additive.

Spectrum’s allocation to preferred securities detracted. Non-investment-grade municipal bonds outperformed investment-grade municipal bonds, and underweights to non-investment-grade bonds by PIMCO and Wells detracted. Revenue bonds outperformed both GO and pre-refunded bonds during the fiscal year. Both PIMCO and Wells were overweight revenue bonds and underweight GO and pre-refunded bonds, which enhanced performance.

During the fiscal year, the Fund purchased a small position in U.S. Treasury futures contracts and utilized interest-rate swap contracts to manage portfolio duration and interest-rate risk. This positioning did not have a material impact on Fund performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 31, 2019

 

 

1. ORGANIZATION

SEI Tax Exempt Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated March 15, 1982.

The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end investment management company with eight operational funds: the Intermediate-Term Municipal, Short Duration Municipal, California Municipal Bond, Massachusetts Municipal Bond, New Jersey Municipal Bond, New York Municipal Bond, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond, and Tax-Advantaged Income (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”). The California Municipal Bond, Massachusetts Municipal Bond, New Jersey Municipal Bond and New York Municipal Bond Funds are non-diversified. The Funds are registered to offer up to two classes of shares: Class F and Class Y. On May 1, 2015, Class Y shares commenced operations in the Intermediate-Term Municipal, Short Duration Municipal and Tax-Advantaged Income Funds. On October 30, 2015, Class Y shares commenced operations in the California Municipal Bond, Massachusetts Municipal Bond, New Jersey Municipal Bond, New York Municipal Bond and Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Funds.

The Trust’s prospectuses provide a description of each Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following are significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of its financial statements by the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

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 as of 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, 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. 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.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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.

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 (the “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.

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 — quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

Debt securities are valued in accordance with the evaluated bid price supplied by the pricing service and generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Other securities that are categorized as Level 2 in

 

 

114    SEI Tax Exempt Trust / Annual Report / August 31, 2019


    

    

 

the hierarchy include, but are not limited to, preferred stocks, bank loans, warrants, swaps and forward contracts.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities and swaps may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended August 31, 2019 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

For the year ended August 31, 2019, there have been no significant changes to the Trust’s fair valuation methodologies.

For details of the investment classification, reference the Schedules of Investments.

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 the 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. At August 31, 2019, the Funds did not own any illiquid 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.

Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Cost used in determining net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of securities is determined on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income and expense is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income or expense is recognized using the accrual basis of accounting.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash equivalents on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These amounts, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.

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. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked-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 the contract is 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, the futures contract involves the risk that a Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments, for details regarding open futures contracts as of August 31, 2019, if applicable.

Swap Agreements — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, the Funds may engage in simple or more complex swap transactions involving a wide variety of underlyings for various reasons. For example, a Fund may enter into a swap to gain exposure to investments (such as an index of securities in a market) or currencies without actually purchasing those stocks or currencies; to make an investment without owning or taking physical custody of securities or currencies in circumstances in which direct investment is restricted for legal reasons or is otherwise impracticable; to hedge an existing position; to obtain a particular desired return at a lower cost to a Fund than if it had invested directly in an instrument that yielded the desired return; or for various other reasons. Swaps are privately negotiated over-the-counter derivative products in which two parties agree to exchange payment streams calculated in relation to a rate, index, instrument or certain securities (referred to as the “underlying”) and a predetermined amount (referred to as the “notional amount”). The underlying for a swap may be an interest rate (fixed or floating), a currency exchange rate, a commodity price index, a security, group of securities or a securities index, a combination of any of these, or various other rates, assets or indices. Swap agreements generally do not involve the delivery of the underlying or principal, and a party’s obligations generally are equal to only the net amount to be paid

or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the swap agreement. At August 31, 2019, the Funds did not own any swap agreements.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral, and events of default or termination. The occurrence of a specified event of termination may give a counterparty the right to terminate all of its contracts and affect settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to over-the counter (“OTC”) transactions, the Funds may enter into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s ISDA master agreements, which allow the Funds to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close- out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Funds may require that certain counterparties post cash and/ or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Funds. The right of set-off exists in the event of default or other termination events. In the event of a default, the total market value exposure will be set-off against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable/(payable) that would be due from/to the counterparty. Settlements of transactions, in the ordinary course of business, are not typically subject to net settlement.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount of each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Funds or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Funds, if any, are reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Funds, if any, is noted in its Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

Discount and Premium Amortization — All amortization is calculated using the effective interest method over the holding period of the security. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities after capital loss carryover are distributed at least annually by the Funds.

3. DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by a Fund and select counterparties. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements. In limited circumstances, the ISDA Master Agreement may contain additional provisions that add additional counterparty protection beyond coverage of existing daily exposure if the counterparty has a decline in credit quality below a predefined level. These amounts, if any, may be segregated with a third party custodian.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS, INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Advisory, Administration and Distribution Agreements — SIMC serves as the Investment Adviser (the “Adviser”) to each Fund. In connection with serving as Adviser to the Funds, 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”) serves as administrator to the Funds. The Administrator provides the Trust with administrative and transfer agent 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.

SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEI”) is the Distributor of the shares of the Funds under a Distribution Agreement. The Funds have adopted a shareholder services plan and agreement (the “Service Plan”) with respect to Class F Shares that allows such shares to pay service providers a fee based on average

daily net assets of such Class F Shares, in connection with the ongoing servicing of shareholder accounts owning such shares. The Service Plan provides that shareholder service fees on Class F Shares will be paid to the Distributor, which may then be used by the Distributor to compensate financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services with respect to Class F Shares.

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 and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business) at a specified level. The voluntary waivers by the Funds’ Adviser, Administrator and/or Distributor are limited to the Funds’ direct operating expenses and, therefore, do not apply to indirect expense 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 these waivers at any time.

Payment to Affiliates — Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are also Officers and/or Directors of the Administrator, the Distributor, and/or SIMC. The Trust pays each unaffiliated Trustee an annual fee for attendance at quarterly, interim, and committee meetings. The Administrator or the Adviser pays compensation of Officers and affiliated Trustees. A portion of the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and his staff, whom are employees of the administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred.

Investment in Affiliated Security — The Funds may invest in the SEI Daily Income Trust Government Fund, an affiliated money market fund, to manage excess cash or to serve as margin or collateral for derivative positions. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding transactions with affiliated securities for the year ended August 31, 2019, if applicable.

Interfund Lending — The SEC has granted an exemption that permits the Trust to participate in an interfund lending program (the “Program”) with existing or future investment companies registered under the 1940 Act that are advised by SIMC (the “SEI Funds”). The Program allows the SEI Funds to lend money to and borrow money from each other for temporary or emergency purposes.

Participation in the Program is voluntary for both borrowing and lending funds.

Interfund loans may be made only when the rate of interest to be charged is more favorable to the lending fund than an investment in overnight repurchase agreements (“Repo Rate”), and more favorable to the borrowing fund than the rate of interest that would be charged by a bank for short-term borrowings (“Bank Loan Rate”). The Bank Loan Rate will be determined using a formula reviewed annually by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The interest rate imposed on interfund loans is the average of the Repo Rate and the Bank Loan Rate. As of August 31, 2019 and for the year then ended, the Trust has not participated in the Program.

6. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company, under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute all of its taxable income and net capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required.

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, 2019, 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.

Reclassification of components of net assets — The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with Federal tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, the net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment

transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such periods. 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, and distributable earnings, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. During the year ended August 31, 2019 there were no such permanent reclassifications.

Post-October losses represent losses realized on investment transactions from November 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019, that, in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, the Funds may elect to defer and treat as having arisen in the following fiscal year.

 

Under the 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 are 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. The Act also contains provisions which are intended

to prevent unintentional failures of the regulated investment company (“RIC”) quarterly asset and annual income composition tests, as well as several provisions aimed at preserving the character of income and gain distributions, and reducing the circumstances under which a RIC would distribute amounts in excess of such income and gains or be required to file amended tax reporting information to its shareholders and with the Internal Revenue Service. Post- enactment losses in the Funds are as follows:

7. CONCENTRATIONS/RISK

Municipal Securities Risk — Municipal securities, like other fixed income securities, rise and fall in value in response to economic and market factors, primarily changes in interest rates, and actual or perceived credit quality. Rising interest rates will generally cause municipal securities to decline in value. Longer-term securities usually respond more sharply to interest rate changes than do shorter-term securities. A municipal security will also lose value if, due to rating downgrades or other factors, there are concerns about the issuer’s current or future ability to make principal or interest payments. State and local governments rely on taxes and, to some extent, revenues from private projects financed by municipal securities, to pay interest and principal on municipal debt. Poor statewide or local economic results or changing political sentiments may reduce tax revenues and increase the expenses of municipal issuers, making it more difficult for them to meet their obligations. Actual or perceived erosion of the creditworthiness of municipal issuers may reduce the value of the Fund’s holdings. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to factors that adversely affect issuers of municipal obligations than a mutual fund that does not have as great a concentration in municipal obligations. Also, there may be economic or political changes that impact the ability of issuers of municipal securities to repay principal and to make interest payments on securities owned by the Fund. Any changes in the financial condition of municipal issuers may also adversely affect the value of the Fund’s securities.

Fixed Income Market Risk — The prices of the 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 a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. 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. In response to these events, the Fund’s value may fluctuate and/or the Fund may experience increased redemptions from shareholders, which may impact the Fund’s liquidity or force the Fund to sell securities into a declining or illiquid market.

California Investment Risk — The Fund’s performance will be affected by the fiscal and economic health of the State of California, its political subdivisions, municipalities, agencies and authorities and political and regulatory developments affecting California municipal issuers.

Massachusetts Investment Risk — The Fund’s performance will be affected by the fiscal and economic health of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, its political subdivisions, municipalities, agencies and authorities and political and regulatory developments affecting Massachusetts municipal issuers.

New Jersey Investment Risk — The Fund’s performance will be affected by the fiscal and economic health of the State of New Jersey, its political subdivisions,

 

 

SEI Tax Exempt Trust / Annual Report / August 31, 2019    121


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

August 31, 2019

 

 

municipalities, agencies and authorities and political and regulatory developments affecting New Jersey municipal issuers.

New York Investment Risk — The Fund’s performance will be affected by the fiscal and economic health of the State of New York, its political subdivisions, municipalities, agencies and authorities and political and regulatory developments affecting New York municipal issuers.

Pennsylvania Investment Risk — The Fund’s performance will be affected by the fiscal and economic health of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, its political subdivisions, municipalities, agencies and authorities and political and regulatory developments affecting Pennsylvania municipal issuers.

Non-Diversification — The California Municipal Bond, Massachusetts Municipal Bond, New Jersey Municipal Bond and New York Municipal Bond Funds are non-diversified, which means that they may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, these Funds may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. The Intermediate-Term Municipal, Tax-Advantaged Income, Short Duration Municipal and Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Funds are diversified.

Credit Risk — The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a portfolio security or a counterparty to a contract fails to make timely payment or otherwise honor its obligations. If the Fund purchases securities supported by credit enhancements from banks and other financial institutions, changes in the credit quality of these institutions could cause losses to the Fund and affect its share price.

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.

Commercial Paper Risk — Commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a maturity generally ranging from one to 270 days and is issued by U.S. or foreign companies or other entities in order to finance their current operations. Such investments are unsecured and usually discounted from their value at maturity. The value of commercial paper may be affected by changes

in the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing entities and will tend to fall when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Asset-backed commercial paper may be issued by structured investment vehicles or other conduits that are organized to issue the commercial paper and to purchase trade receivables or other financial assets. The repayment of asset-backed commercial paper depends primarily on the cash collections received from such an issuer’s underlying asset portfolio and the issuer’s ability to issue new asset-backed commercial paper.

Call Risk — Issuers of callable bonds may call (redeem) securities with higher coupons or interest rates before their maturity dates. The Fund may be forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income. Bonds may be called due to falling interest rates or non-economical circumstances.

Extension Risk — The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security’s value.

Liquidity Risk — The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Fund would like. The Fund may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.

Duration Risk — Longer-term securities in which the Fund may invest are more volatile than shorter-term securities. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration.

Prepayment Risk — The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring the Fund to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates.

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

Taxation Risk — The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that generate income that is subject to federal, state and local income tax, including the federal alternative minimum tax.

Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk — Convertible and preferred securities generally have less potential for

 

 

122    SEI Tax Exempt Trust / Annual Report / August 31, 2019


    

    

 

 

gain or loss than common stocks. In addition, convertible and preferred securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible and preferred securities generally sell at a price above their “conversion value,” which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible and preferred securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. Convertible and preferred securities are also subject to credit risk and are often lower-quality securities.

Investment Company Risk — When the 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 had invested directly in the underlying investments. Closed-end investment companies issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value. As a result, a closed-end fund’s share price fluctuates based on what another investor is willing to pay rather than on the market value of the securities in the fund.

Private Placements Risk — Investment in privately placed securities may be less liquid than in publicly traded

securities. Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded.

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

The foregoing is not intended to be a complete discussion of the risks associated with investing in a Fund. Please review each Fund’s current prospectus for additional disclosures regarding the principal risks associated with investing in a Fund.

10. REGULATORY MATTERS

On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to Regulation S-X. These changes are effective for periods after November 5, 2018. The updates to Registered Investment Companies were mainly focused on simplifying the presentation of distributable earnings by eliminating the need to present the components of distributable earnings on a book basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The update also impacted the presentation of undistributed net investment income and distribution to shareholders on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The amounts presented in the current Statements of Changes in Net Assets represent the aggregated total distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains, except

for distributions classified as return of capital which are still presented separately. The disaggregated amounts from the prior fiscal year are broken out below if there were both distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains. Otherwise, the amount on the current Statement of Changes for the prior fiscal year end represents distributions of net investment income.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In August 2018, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance includes additions and modifications to disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of August 31, 2019.

 

 

SEI Tax Exempt Trust / Annual Report / August 31, 2019    125


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of the Funds and Board of Trustees

SEI Tax-Exempt Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the SEI Tax-Exempt Trust, comprised of Intermediate-Term Municipal Fund, Short Duration Municipal Fund, California Municipal Bond Fund, Massachusetts Municipal Bond Fund, New Jersey Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, and Tax-Advantaged Income Fund (collectively, “the Funds”), as of August 31, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of August 31, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

August 31, 2019

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual 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 mutual fund‘s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the mutual fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the mutual 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, 2019 to August 31, 2019).

The following table 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 your Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual starting 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 your Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) 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 “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other mutual funds.

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

SEI Tax Exempt Trust / Annual Report / August 31, 2019    131


BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

SEI Tax Exempt 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 indexes.

At the December 4-5, 2018 meeting of the Board, the Trustees approved a brief extension of the Advisory Agreement and certain Sub-Advisory Agreements already in effect to accommodate a revised meeting schedule. Accordingly, at the April 2-3, 2019 meeting of the Board, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to renew the Advisory Agreement and certain Sub-Advisory Agreements. Also, a Sub-Advisory Agreement was initially approved at a meeting of the Board held on June 25-26, 2019. In each case, the Board’s

 

132    SEI Tax Exempt Trust / Annual Report / August 31, 2019


decision 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.

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 the 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 indexes/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”). The Broadridge Report included metrics on risk analysis, volatility versus total return, net total return and performance consistency for the Funds and a universe of comparable funds. 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 indexes/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 asset levels, actual management fees (including transfer agent expenses), and actual total 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 and its affiliates’ 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

 

SEI Tax Exempt Trust / Annual Report / August 31, 2019    133


BOARD OF TRUSTEES CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Concluded)

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 its 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.

Notes:

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the Registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings.

  (2)

See Item 4(g) for a description of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.

(e)(1)    The Registrant’s Audit Committee has adopted and the Board of Trustees has ratified an Audit and Non-Audit Service Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor of the Registrant may be pre-approved. In any instance where services require pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with SEC rules on auditor independence and whether the provision of such services would compromise the auditor’s independence.

The Policy provides that all requests or applications for proposed services to be provided by the independent auditor must be submitted to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and must include a detailed description of the services proposed to be rendered. The CFO will determine whether such services (1) require specific pre-approval, (2) are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee pursuant to the Policy; or (3) have been previously pre-approved in connection with the independent auditor’s annual engagement letter for the applicable year or otherwise.

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by the CFO. The Audit Committee has delegated specific pre-approval authority to either the Audit Committee Chair or financial experts, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approved service does not exceed $100,000 and any pre-approval decisions are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee are identified and described in the Policy. In addition, the Policy sets forth a maximum fee per engagement with respect to each identified service that has received general pre-approval. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditor during the following twelve months without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee will be informed by the CFO on a quarterly basis of all services rendered by the independent auditor.

All services to be provided by the independent auditor shall be provided pursuant to a signed written engagement letter with the Registrant, the investment advisor or applicable control affiliate (except that matters as to which an engagement letter would be impractical because of timing issues or because the matter is small may not be the subject of an engagement letter) that sets forth both the services to be provided by the independent auditor and the total fees (or the manner of their determination) to be paid to the independent auditor for those services.

In addition, the Audit Committee has determined to take additional measures on an annual basis to meet its responsibility to oversee the work of the independent auditor and to assure the auditor’s independence from the Registrant, such as reviewing a formal written statement from the independent auditor delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Registrant, and discussing with the independent auditor its methods and procedures for ensuring independence.

(e)(2)    Percentage of fees billed pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

 

          2019              2018      

Audit-Related Fees

 

   0% 

 

   0%

(f)          Not applicable.

(g)(1)    The aggregate non-audit fees and services billed by KPMG for fiscal years 2019 and 2018 were $243,100 and $372,077, respectively. Non-audit fees consist of a service organization controls report review of fund accounting and administration operations and attestation report in accordance with Rule 17 Ad-13.

(h)         During the past fiscal year, Registrant’s principal accountant provided certain non-audit services to Registrant’s investment adviser or to entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Registrant’s investment adviser that provide ongoing services to Registrant that were not subject to pre-approval pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X. The Audit Committee of Registrant’s Board of Trustees reviewed and considered these non-audit services provided by Registrant’s principal accountant to Registrant’s affiliates, including whether the provision of these non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
