Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell Fund shares. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in this table and examples below.

EXAMPLE

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

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

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. Because the Fund is new, no portfolio turnover information has been provided.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will take long and short positions in investments that provide broad exposure to the global equity, fixed income and currency markets. The Fund will invest primarily in

exchange-traded derivative instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, but to a lesser extent may invest in derivative instruments that are traded over-the-counter, such as forwards. The Fund primarily will hold cash and/or invest in money market instruments to collateralize its derivative positions. Additionally, the Fund will invest from time-to-time in shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), such as U.S. or non-U.S. corporate bond ETFs.

The Fund seeks to replicate the total return (before taking into account the Fund's fees and expenses) of a model portfolio of alternative investment strategies, which primarily consists of hedge funds (the "Composite") calculated by the investment sub-adviser (the "Sub-Adviser"), at the direction of SEI Investments Management Corporation ("SIMC" or the "Adviser").

The Composite consists of two components (each a "sleeve"): a multi-strategy sleeve and a managed futures sleeve.

Multi-Strategy Sleeve. The multi-strategy sleeve of the Composite will seek to replicate the average total return of the 50 largest hedge funds (excluding managed futures funds), equally weighted. The list of hedge funds is determined by the monthly reporting of assets under management to the Eurekahedge database, which is reconstituted annually. This sleeve will include exposure to a cross-section of alternative investment strategies, including, but not limited to, equity long/short, global macro, event driven, and relative value strategies.

SIMC, in connection with its management of the overall strategy to replicate the total return of the Composite and thus the return of the overall hedge fund market, may instruct the Sub-Adviser at any time to discontinue the use of any of these strategies or add one or more new strategies.

Managed Futures Sleeve. The managed futures sleeve of the Composite is designed to reflect the total return of the Societe Generale (SG) CTA Trend Index, which consists of 20 equally weighted large managed futures funds and is reconstituted annually.

The Sub-Adviser generally expects to maintain an approximate 60/40 weighting between the multi-strategy sleeve and the managed futures sleeve, respectively, within the Composite, but the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may increase or decrease a sleeve's weighting within the Composite.

The Fund seeks to achieve returns similar to the total return of the Composite through a dynamic allocation of long and short investments among the global equity, fixed income and currency markets. The Sub-Adviser will use a quantitative model to estimate the market exposures that drive the aggregate returns of the Composite and will primarily invest in derivative instruments that it estimates will provide, in the aggregate, market exposure similar to that of the Composite. The Sub-Adviser may use various approaches to estimate market exposure, including an analysis of historical return information for the hedge funds within the Composite.

The Fund's investments will include futures, forwards, options, ETFs and securities index swaps that provide exposure to the returns of (i) the equity markets, including common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, rights, depositary receipts, and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which may be from U.S. and non-U.S. issuers (including emerging market issuers) of various capitalizations and industries; (ii) the currency markets, through U.S. and non-U.S. issuers (including emerging markets issuers) or through exposure to currency futures; and (iii) the fixed income markets, through U.S. and non-U.S. issuers (including emerging markets issuers) through exposure to corporate and government fixed income securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities (including commercial mortgage-backed securities and "to-be-announced"

transactions), corporate bonds and debentures, commercial paper, money market instruments, money market funds, mortgage dollar rolls, obligations of supranational entities, zero coupon obligations and obligations to restructure outstanding debt of such issuers, which may be investment grade and non-investment grade debt (junk bonds), of any duration or maturity.

The Fund will not make any direct investments in hedge funds.

The amount of the Fund's assets that may be allocated to various strategies and among investments is expected to vary over time and may be adjusted over short periods of time.

There are no limitations on the minimum or maximum amount of the Fund's assets that may be allocated to investments representing exposure to any one of the global equity, fixed income and currency markets.

Due to its investment strategy, the Fund may buy and sell securities and other instruments frequently. The Sub-Adviser may also consider other factors when allocating the Fund's assets, such as: (i) the Fund's obligations under its various derivative positions; (ii) portfolio rebalancing; (iii) redemption requests; (iv) yield management; (v) credit management; and (vi) volatility management.

The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying primarily on one or more Sub-Advisers under the general supervision of SIMC, the Fund's adviser.

Principal Risks
Performance Information

The Fund is new, and therefore has no performance history. Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund's return based on net assets and comparing the Fund's performance to a broad measure of market performance.
