Diversification › Asset Class Returns
• Individual asset classes go in and out of favor over time. Harnessing proper diversification can enhance returns and help to cushion against volatility.
• This graphic illustrates why investors diversify and the potential damages of market timing.
• As you can see, no single asset class remained at the top for two consecutive years, and in fact often trailed the market in succeeding years.

• Global economic activity continues to progress at a moderate pace, with data supporting an optimistic outlook for developed market growth.
• Global central bank policies remained accommodative through the close of the year.
• Investors fled from fixed income to equities as 2013 progressed, leading to double-digit gains in most world equity markets for the year.
• Developed equities outpaced emerging markets, with small- cap stocks outpacing large-cap stocks; U.S. equities led.
• Emerging-markets equity struggled for the full year, but rebounded in the second half of 2013.
• Fixed-income market were volatile, with global yields increasing on evolving central bank policies.
• For the first time since 2005, global bonds posted negative yearly returns; U.S. bonds saw their first negative year since 1999.
• High-yield bonds were notably strong, while emerging market debt struggled.
10Footer
Fixed-income market review
• Beginning in May, Fed taper concerns weighed on bonds, with yields rising in a dramatic (choppy) fashion.
‒ The Fed ultimately gave guidance of a $10 billion monthly reduction beginning in January 2014; however, the exact taper timeline is unknown and will be economic data dependent.
‒ Interest rate policy is anticipated to remain unchanged for the foreseeable future, barring unforseen events.
• Aggressive global monetary actions should remain the over-arching theme of 2014 for most countries.
• Such a policy prescription should ease upward pressure on bond yields that might otherwise occur as economies improve.
• SEI anticipates muted returns in 2014 as interest rates rise. Income will be the largest contributor to returns.
• The bond market challenges in 2013 aided the relative attractiveness of some sectors.
• In general, our investment-grade offerings favor select corporate exposure, agency mortgage-backed securities and high-yield, where applicable.

Equity market review
• 2013 was an even stronger year for developed-world stock markets than most anticipated; there was not one serious price correction.
– S&P 500 Index returned 32.39% in 2013.
• Price-to-earnings ratios are elevated, but have not risen to levels that are unreasonable, especially given the backdrop of low inflation and bond yields.
• Further market expansion is possible as investor flows into equities turned positive only last year; but a robust market will most likely hinge on continued growth in corporate earnings.
• Sector leadership shifted in May with potential Fed tapering and higher interest rates:
– Early 2013 was led by defensive sectors as investors eased into equities via “more safe” exposures despite high valuations.
– Leadership shifted on increased confidence in economic growth, supported by Fed taper comments; investors favored areas offering higher growth.
• SEI’s equity offerings were generally positioned with a pro-cyclical bias
– Our managers benefited primarily from stock selection expertise, focusing on quality business with the ability to gain market share.

The Outlook: 2014
The good news
• Developed-market equities have shown impressive resilience in the face of impediments such as the Federal Reserve’s evolving taper policies, geopolitical concerns, and government policy uncertainty.
• The U.S. economy continues on a slow but steady expansionary path.
• Markets seemed to respond well to the Fed’s announced taper plans and its stated intent to keep short-term interest rates low.
• Inflation remains fairly subdued despite the extraordinary expansion of the monetary base.
• After struggling earlier in the year, emerging market economies appear to be showing early signs of recovery.
• China growth concerns have eased.
The bad news
• Although Congressional debates over fiscal policy have temporarily subsided, debt ceiling issues still need to be resolved.
• Despite improving business and consumer sentiment, European economies remain stressed and mired in a slow-growth/ recessionary funk.
• Corporate profit margins are at levels that are historically high and potentially unsustainable.
• The strong equity rally has made valuations more susceptible to disappointing earnings and forward guidance.
• The long-lived secular bull market in bonds appears to have drawn to a close.
• Any escalation of geopolitical conflict could add to investor uncertainty.
13Footer
• SEI believes that the global economic recovery will continue, with potential to gain momentum on increased consumer demand and a lessening fiscal drag.
• We expect interest rates to gradually trend higher, creating a muted total return environment for investment-grade bonds.
• Corporate credit fundamentals remain strong, but event risk is rising; financials continue to offer value.
• We remain constructive on high-yield bonds given low default rates, and on non-agency mortgage-backed securities in light of improving housing markets and credit availability.
• Equities appear attractive relative to bonds. Further market expansion in equities is possible as investor money flows into equities. Corporate earnings growth, however, will be a key factor in determining market strength.
• An environment of rising rates and accelerating growth would likely favor growth, quality, and momentum.
• Emerging markets has most of the cheap pockets across global equities today.

SEI Representative Strategy Review
• Strength in global equity markets, particularly U.S. large- and small-cap stocks, was evident in the 4th quarter strategy returns, as strategies with greater equity exposure generated higher returns.
• Year-to-date performance patterns were similar, reflecting strong gains in equity markets (especially U.S. small- and large-cap stocks), contrasted with a volatile fixed-income environment. The Short Term strategy return was marginally negative; all other strategies were in positive territory, particularly those with predominantly equity-based exposure.

• Stability-focused strategies are designed to reduce portfolio volatility and drawdown risk, while still seeking long-term appreciation.
• The fixed-income focus is on reducing interest-rate risk and enhancing yield.
• The equity focus is on capital appreciation with below-market volatility.
• Both managed volatility equity portfolios lagged their benchmarks for the quarter, but continued to show solid longer-term returns.

Stability-Focused Strategy › PC Short Term Strategy
• The strategy delivered a marginally positive quarterly return, reflecting stabilization of shorter duration U.S. fixed-income securities and the continuation of near-zero cash yields.
• Quarterly performance was aided by slight gains in the Multi-Asset Capital Stability and Short Duration Government funds, while Real Return declined slightly.
• Year-to-date returns remained marginally negative, driven primarily by declines in Real Return and Multi-Asset Capital Stability. Both funds were negatively affected by the mid-year volatility in global fixed-income markets, and continued weakness in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS).

Stability-Focused Strategy › PC Defensive Strategy
Strategy Themes• During the quarter, the portfolio benefited most from its equity and high yield exposure. In particular, U.S. and Global
Managed Volatility, High Yield, and Multi-Asset Income were the strongest performers. Inflation-sensitive exposure (Real Return and Multi-Asset Inflation) had a slight negative impact.
• Year to date, the strategy’s diversified approach also proved advantageous, as its equity (U.S. and Global Managed Volatility), high yield, and diversified income (Multi-Asset Income) components served to offset weakness within fixed income (particularly Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, or TIPS) and commodities.

Multi-Asset Income Fund
• The Multi-Asset Income Fund is currently held in two of the Stability-focused Private Client strategies, and will be incorporated into additional strategies in the near future.
• The fund utilizes a non-benchmark-constrained, “go-anywhere” tactical approach, investing in a broad range of income-producing securities. In addition to managing credit and liquidity risk, the fund also seeks to actively manage interest-rate risk.
• In a challenging environment for fixed-income investing, the fund has achieved positive returns for the 4th quarter, calendar 2013, and since inception (April 9, 2012) of 2.4%, 6.2%, and 9.4% (annualized), respectively.
• The fund’s performance has held up particularly well on days in which interest rates have risen most and fixed-income markets have been stressed.
The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Multi-Asset Accumulation Fund
• The Multi-Asset Accumulation Fund is held in four of the non tax-managed Private Client strategies, with the goal of decreasing the reliance on equity beta as the primary driver of portfolio risk and return.
• The fund seeks long-term growth across a variety of economic and market conditions by offering very diversified global market exposures that are balanced on the basis of volatility levels rather than capital weightings.
• The fund returned 1.5% in the 4th quarter; year to date, it has gained 1.2%.
• For both the 4th quarter and the full year, developed market equity exposure contributed positively to the fund’s performance, while global fixed-income and commodity exposure had a negative impact. The fund continues to hold an overweight allocation (versus its 40% target) to Global Equities, on a risk-weighted basis.

Stability-Focused Strategy › PC Tax-Managed Short Term Strategy
Strategy Themes
• The strategy delivered a marginally positive quarterly return, reflecting stabilization of shorter duration U.S. fixed-income securities and the continuation of near-zero cash yields. Each component fund rose slightly during the quarter, with Intermediate-Term Municipal and Short Duration Municipal showing similar gains.
• Year-to-date returns remained barely negative, driven by the decline in Intermediate-Term Municipal. The fund was negatively impacted by the mid-year volatility in global fixed-income markets, as well as uncertainties about the potential future tax treatment of municipal securities and concerns about the creditworthiness of certain headline cities and regions.

Fund Highlight: Short Duration Municipal
All four of SEI’s tax-managed stability-focused strategies employ the Short Duration Municipal fund. The fund achieved slightly positive 4th quarter and year-to-date returns; consistent with its focus on capital preservation, the fund has never experienced a calendar year decline since its November 2003 inception.
The fund holds roughly 72% of its portfolio in revenue bonds, as managers continue to see greater relative value there than in the general obligation and pre-refunded sectors. Currently, the fund’s duration is about 18% shorter than that of its benchmark.

• During the quarter, the portfolio benefited most from its equity exposure. In particular, Tax-Managed Managed Volatility was the strongest performer, while Intermediate-Term Municipal and Short Duration Municipal lagged.
• Year to date, the strategy’s diversified approach also proved somewhat advantageous, as its equity component (Tax-Managed Managed Volatility) served to offset weakness in Tax-Advantaged Income (high-yield municipal securities and preferred stocks) and Intermediate-Term Municipal.

Point of ViewEconomic Outlook
56Footer
Bullish views prevail
• One year ago, investors were fretting about fiscal cliffs, deficit ceilings, quantitative easing, the seemingly never-ending recession in Europe, the meaning of Abenomics for Japan and the changing of the guard in China.
• Despite this, 2013 was an even stronger year for developed-world stock markets than many expected, with not one serious price correction the entire year.
• The extraordinary appreciation in equity prices over the past year has been accompanied by a sharp jump in investor optimism.
• While stock-market peaks are usually associated with such highly elevated levels of optimism, rising investor sentiment can also prolong the market’s advance.

57Footer
Price-to-earning levels on the march• Rising global markets have elevated the price-
to-earnings ratios of most markets, rising faster than earnings growth in developed markets.
• To date, slow earnings growth has not been an impediment for most developed-country equity markets due to:
• Underpriced heading into 2013 on potential U.S. tax hikes and eurozone recession
• Aggressive stimulus efforts by central banks
• Lower risk of sovereign debt default in eurozone
• Slow embrace of bull market by investors
• It is our view that valuations are not unreasonable, but we also recognize that the rising trend in earnings multiples cannot be sustained indefinitely.
• A much better stock-market scenario would be one in which company fundamentals start to catch up with investors’ expectations.
• Earnings growth should become the dominant factor driving the market in 2014.
. Index returns are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent actual fund performance. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses.

Equity mutual funds finally join the party
• Net cash flows into equity mutual funds have turned decisively positive only in the past year.
• On a 12-month cumulative sum basis, cash flows into equity mutual funds started to exceed cash flows into bonds just three months ago.
• Net outflows from bond mutual funds began only around the middle of last year, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced plans to taper the central bank’s bond purchases.
• While the shift back into equities doesn’t guarantee the continuation of above-average equity price appreciation, increased investor participation in the stock market should act as a tailwind.
• Bonds, by contrast, may continue to struggle as they fall further out of favor.
59Footer
The U.S. economy is perking up
• There is reason to believe a fundamental improvement in economic growth will materialize.
• In the U.S., employment has picked up and the private sector has been growing at about a 3% annual rate in inflation-adjusted terms.
• There is also hope that fiscal policy will be a far less negative force impinging upon economic activity.
• In light of the recent agreement to ease the sequestration spending limits over the next two fiscal years, the impact of fiscal policy on the economy now should be closer to neutral.
60Footer
Inflation still missing in action
• Monetary policy, in contrast, could be a greater source of investor agitation, but only the form of that policy will change under new Fed Chair Yellen.
• We expect the Fed to firmly anchor short-term rates near zero through 2014 and well into 2015, aiding to curb the upward pressure on bond yields.
• An important theme for 2014 will be the trend toward further interest-rate normalization; both real yields and inflation expectations are expected to drift higher.
• However, the odds of an actual inflation flare-up remain low in our opinion, as the world economy continues to operate at a level well below potential.
61Footer
Euro remains resilient
• In Europe, financial markets and the euro have climbed in rather stunning fashion.
• We find this strength surprising, as the eurozone economy has failed to rebound convincingly, lagging other advanced economies.
• In addition, there is still a great deal of uncertainty regarding future monetary/fiscal policy measures and structural economic and banking reforms.
• In 2014, the absence of an expansion in credit or robust export growth should weigh on Europe.
• In spite of these challenges, the euro has been resilient, climbing more than 45% versus the Japanese yen since its bottom in July 2012.
62Footer
German confidence and exports go in different directions
• Germany is probably in the best shape among the eurozone countries to withstand the rigors of a strong euro, but potentially faces severe competitive challenges in the months ahead.
• Over the past year, Japan’s sharply improving competitiveness has already led to a relative gain in trade volume vis-à-vis German exports.
• Business confidence and the direction of merchandise exports typically go hand in hand, but confidence bottomed out toward the end of 2012 and has been on a sharp upward trajectory since.
• If extremely efficient, high-value-added German exporters are facing more intense competitive pressures, other countries in Europe are likely facing greater difficulties.
• Given that we see no sense of urgency on the part of the European Central Bank to provide more stimulus, another economic stumble is possible.
63Footer
Emerging economies may be bottoming
• Poor economic fundamentals, excessive debt levels and tapering concerns around the U.S. quantitative easing effort have plagued the asset class in 2013.
• After trailing developed markets for over three years, we believe that much of the bad news and controversies are now baked into prices.
• We believe that the longer term view remains quite positive due to faster emerging market growth relative to advanced economies as trade flows recover and favorable demographic profiles.
• There are early signs of recovery, even in those countries that have been especially out of favor—Brazil, India and China.

SEI performance summary Fixed-income mutual funds – as of 12/31/2013
Performance data quoted is past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original value. Current performance may be higher or lower. For performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-DIAL-SEI. Performance information as shown is net of all mutual fund fees and expenses, but does not include any charges or fees which may or may not be imposed by an investor’s financial advisor which will reduce performance returns. For example, on an account charged 1% by a financial advisor with a stated annual return (net of mutual fund fees) of 10%, the net total return before taxes would be reduced from 10% to 9%. A ten year investment of $100,000 at 10% would grow to $259,400, and at 9%, to $236,700 before taxes. Source: SEI Datamart

Tax-managed goals-based performance – as of 12/31/2013Private Client Strategies
Performance assumes investment at the beginning of the period indicated and reflects all recommended reallocations and changes among the funds, including changes in investment managers and funds included in the model. Information on allocations among funds, reallocations and model changes is available upon request. Model performance shown is not meant to represent any individual client account. Model performance shown is net of fees charged by SEI. Performance information as shown is net of all mutual fund fees and expenses, but does not include any charges or fees which may or may not be imposed by an investor’s financial advisor which will reduce performance returns. For example, on an account charged 1% by a financial advisor with a stated annual return (net of mutual fund fees) of 10%, the net total return before taxes would be reduced from 10% to 9%. A ten year investment of $100,000 at 10% would grow to $259,400, and at 9%, to $236,700 before taxes. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less that their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

There are risks involved with investing, including loss of principal. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risks as well. Diversification may not protect against market risk. There is no assurance the goals of the strategies discussed will be met.
International: International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Emerging Markets: Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume.
Small-Cap: Narrowly focused investments and smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility.
Bonds: Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise.
High Yield Bonds: High yield bonds involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities, due to the speculative nature of their investments.
Real Estate: In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, real estate and REIT investments are subject to changes in economic conditions, credit risk and interest rate fluctuations.
TIPS: TIPS can provide investors a hedge against inflation, as the inflation adjustment feature helps preserve the purchasing power of the investment. Because of this inflation adjustment feature, inflation protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed rate bonds.
Municipal Bonds: There is no guarantee that the Fund’s income will be exempt from federal or state income taxes. Capital gains, if any, are subject to capital gains tax. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise.

Investing in the Funds is subject to the risks of the underlying funds. Asset allocation may not protect against market risk. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. Due to their investment strategies, the Funds may buy and sell securities frequently. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s share price and may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not otherwise be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations.
Commodity investments and derivatives may be more volatile and less liquid than direct investments in the underlying commodities themselves. Commodity-related equity returns can also be affected by the issuer’s financial structure or the performance of unrelated businesses. The Fund’s use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk.
Index returns are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent actual fund performance. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses.
