Disclosure for the Stable Value Collective Funds:
SEI Trust Company (the “Trustee”) serves as the Trustee of the Fund and maintains ultimate fiduciary authority over the management of, and the investments made, in the Fund. The Fund is part of a Collective Investment Trust (the “Trust”) operated by the Trustee. The Trustee is a trust company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (SEI). The Trust is not a mutual fund, as defined under the investment company act of 1940, as amended.
A collective investment trust fund (CIT) is a pooled investment vehicle that is exempt from SEC registration as an investment company under Section 3(c)(11) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and maintained by a bank or trust company for the collective investment of qualified retirement plans. The Fund is managed by SEI Trust Company, the trustee, based on the investment advice of Galliard Capital Management. Galliard receives no management fee for its role as Investment Advisor.
The Fund’s investment contracts are designed to allow for participant transactions at book value. A principal risk of the Fund is investment contract risk. This includes the risk that the issuer will default on its obligation under the contract or that another event of default may occur under the contract rendering it invalid; that the contract will lapse before a replacement contract with favorable terms can be secured; or that the occurrence of certain other events including employer-initiated events, could cause the contract to lose its book value withdrawal features. These risks may result in a loss in value to a contract holder. Other primary risks include default risk, which is the possibility that instruments the Fund holds will not meet scheduled interest and/or principal payments; interest rate risk, which includes the risk of reinvesting cash flows at lower interest rates; and liquidity risk, which includes the effect of very large unexpected withdrawals on the Fund’s total value. The occurrence of any of these events could cause the Fund to lose value.
