Global Market Review
•
Continued economic expansion in advanced economies is creating optimism, while emerging economies sort through political, financial and social reforms.
•
Global equities rebounded from an early setback, reaching positive territory by quarter end.
– Europe and the U.S. led with 2% gains; Japan lagged with a
6% decline.
– Emerging markets continued to lag.
•
Global central banks have generally remained committed to providing stimulus in one form or another.
•
Geopolitical concerns and a further easing of inflation pressures around the globe sparked a stronger rally in sovereign debt than anticipated.
•
Riskier bonds led as investor demand remained firm.
– Emerging-market debt and high yield gained 3.7% and 3.0%, respectively.
•
Since the start of the bull market in stocks five years ago, equities have outperformed the U.S. Treasury 10-year bond by almost 190 percentage points.

Fixed-Income Market Review
•
Treasury yields generally fell despite firming growth and continued bond-purchase tapering by the Federal Reserve
(Fed).
– Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index returned 1.84%.
•
Investor demand drove high-yield bonds and emergingmarket debt to strong results.
•
Although we think the Fed will remain dovish, we expect some firming of bond yields toward 3.25% —a more normal relationship vis-
à-vis expected inflation.
– Nominal yields (U.S. Treasury yields) are still overvalued.
– The implied inflation rate within nominal yields is reasonable.
– However, real yields (Treasury inflation-protected securities yields) appear artificially low due to the Fed’s quantitative easing efforts (despite rising since talk of tapering easing).
•
Given this, duration positioning is generally shorter than the benchmark.
•
With current spread levels tighter, security selection will play a larger role in driving performance.
– Overweights to the spread sectors were maintained but remain actively managed based on spread levels.
– Non-agency commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, as well as corporate debt of financials, are preferred.

Equity Market Review
•
Global equity markets shook off concerns of slower growth in China and tapering by the Federal Reserve to close higher.
•
In the U.S., large cap outpaced small cap, and value beat growth, in terms of style.
• Given the market’s ascent, U.S. equity valuations are elevated (16.5x)* but appear well within the historical norm, especially against:
– The backdrop of very low interest rates.
– A still-expansionary monetary policy.
– Further improvement in economic growth and corporate profitability.
•
While earnings growth has been supportive, top-line growth is key to a more robust expansion.
– Corporate earnings for S&P 500 companies posted a 9% year-over-year gain (December 2013).
•
The biggest risk we see is the momentum of the market becoming overextended.
•
Given this, we have a focus on quality-growth stocks.

The Outlook: An Economic Thaw But a New Cold War
The good news
The U.S. economy is poised to accelerate moderately, shaking off weather-related setbacks during the first quarter.
The U.K. economy is enjoying a consumer-led rebound, although the recovery in the rest of Europe remains tepid and uncertain.
Earnings, which have been solid in the U.S. and Japan, should gain traction elsewhere this year.
Falling global inflation should keep central-bank policies in expansionary mode through the rest of the year, although the Federal Reserve (Fed) will likely tighten incrementally while the European Central Bank goes the other way.
Emerging-market economies may be bottoming, but much depends upon stronger demand in China and developed markets.
Corrections in global equities should continue to be viewed as buy-on-the-dip opportunities.
The bad news
The Fed’s tapering of quantitative easing in response to a stronger economy could push bond yields higher over the next year.
Despite the better tone to the economic data, Europe still is not doing enough to ensure a sustainable recovery.
Japan’s stock market has tumbled this year amid worries that Abenomics is losing its punch.
Emerging-market economies have suffered from investment outflows in response to Fed tapering fears, political turmoil and economic mismanagement.
China’s slowdown and debt problems remain an impediment for global growth.
The Russian annexation of Crimea could result in unexpected economic and geopolitical shocks.
12
The global economic recovery is strengthening but policy risks remain.
Optimism for global growth is buoyed by improvements in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Japan.
European financial markets signal hope, but a relatively tighter monetary policy and deflationary signals underlie worries.
Although a soft economic landing in China is likely, the deleveraging of the economy could result in more short-term volatility.
Global central bank policies remain in focus, with expectations of continued stimulus support.
We expect interest rates to trend higher, creating a muted total return environment for investment-grade bonds.
Alpha opportunities are anticipated to be driven by security selection as spread levels continue to tighten.
Corporate credit fundamentals remain stable, but event risk is rising; financials continue to offer value.
Improving housing market, credit availability, favorable supply/demand technicals, and attractive loss-adjusted yields should support the non-agency mortgage-backed security market.
In high-yield bonds, the absolute level of yield is comparatively low; but fundamentals, spread levels, and technicals remain supportive.
With equity valuations at historic norms, company fundamentals are in focus.
Earnings have been solid in the U.S. and Japan, and they are expected to gain traction elsewhere this year.
Managers generally favor companies that can deliver earnings growth, subscribing to a quality-growth focus.
In the U.S., top-line (revenue) growth remains key to a more robust expansion.
Emerging markets have most of the cheap pockets across global equities today but face political and financial challenges.

• Volatility returned to global equity and fixedincome markets during the first quarter, but returns for the period overall were fairly muted.
This environment was reflected in quarterly strategy returns, which were modestly positive for all strategies.
• Trailing one-year performance patterns were quite different, reflecting strong gains in equity markets (especially U.S. small- and large-cap stocks), contrasted with a difficult 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.

Three of SEI’s stability-focused strategies employ the U.S. Fixed
Income fund. The fund’s first-quarter gain of nearly 2% had a positive impact on strategy performance. Longer-term absolute and relative returns have also been favorable.
The fund remains positioned in anticipation of a gradual trending toward higher interest rates, with a somewhat shorter duration than the benchmark. SEI believes that spread sectors generally offer the best opportunities within the fixed-income universe, and that actively managing these exposures is vital, given the key role that security selection is expected to play in driving performance.

In particular, U.S. and Global Managed Volatility, High Yield, and Multi-Asset Income were the strongest performers. Short-Duration Government and funds offering TIPS exposure lagged but still generated marginally positive returns.

• The Multi-Asset Income Fund is now held in five of the non-Tax-Managed Private Client strategies, following the recent strategic allocation changes.
•
The fund utilizes a differentiated, non-benchmarkconstrained, “go-anywhere” tactical approach, investing in a broad range of income-producing securities. In addition to opportunistically managing credit and liquidity risk, the fund also seeks to actively manage interest-rate risk.
•
In a frequently challenging environment for fixedincome investing, the fund has delivered positive returns for the first quarter, trailing year, and sinceinception (4/9/2012) period of 2.7%, 5.2%, and
9.7% (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.

PC Aggressive Strategy
Fund Highlights: Large Cap and Small Cap
1%
SEI’s growth-focused strategies employ both the Large Cap and Small Cap funds. The strategies benefited from each fund’s positive 1 st quarter and strong trailing 1-year returns.
During the quarter, relative performance for each fund was driven mainly by stock selection. Large Cap continues to position away from deep cyclical and defensive sectors in favor of quality growth; while Small Cap remains mildly procyclical with a tilt towards quality companies and attractive valuations.

Allocations were primarily modified to:
Increase emerging-market debt exposure
—
We believe the improved quality in the asset class makes for a more suitable investment across a broader range of risk-tolerance levels. In addition, with its diversified exposure to a basket of emerging-market currencies, the asset class is less exposed to the movements in U.S. interest rates, providing a decoupled source of yield.
– Implementation primarily involves the increase of the Emerging Market Debt Fund, with a decrease to developed U.S. fixed income or equity depending on the risk level of the strategy.
Increase emerging-market equity exposure — As the recovery in the developed market matures, we expect the growth in emerging markets to return to the long-term trend.
Based on our research, we believe that an increase in emerging-market equity exposure should provide more consistent results across different economic environments, enhancing overall diversification.
– Implementation primarily involved an increase to the
Emerging Market Equity Fund and decrease to the
Large Cap 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 benefited from its diversified approach during the first quarter, returning 3.5% and exceeding its blended benchmark* by nearly 200 basis points.
• In contrast to calendar 2013, commodities and global fixed-income exposure had the largest positive impact on the fund’s performance, while global equities made a smaller contribution. The fund holds a slight overweight allocation (versus its 40% strategic target) to Global
Equities, on a risk-weighted basis.

PC Tax-Managed Short Term Strategy
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 returns for both the first quarter and the trailing one-year period; consistent with its focus on capital preservation, the fund has never experienced a calendar year decline since its
November 2003 inception.
The fund holds nearly 70% 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 25% shorter than that of its benchmark.

The strategy delivered a slightly positive quarterly return, reflecting stabilization of shorter duration U.S. fixedincome securities and the continuation of near-zero cash yields. Each component fund rose during the quarter, with Intermediate-Term Municipal showing the largest gain.
•
Trailing 1-year returns were marginally positive, driven by a slight gain in Short Duration Municipal. The strategy was able to overcome headwinds created by the mid-2013 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: Core Fixed Income
Five of SEI’s institutional strategies employ the Core Fixed
Income fund. The fund’s first quarter gain of 2.25% had a positive impact on strategy performance. Longer-term absolute and relative returns have also been very favorable.
The fund remains positioned in anticipation of a gradual trending toward higher interest rates, with a somewhat shorter duration than the benchmark. SEI believes that spread sectors generally offer the best opportunities within the fixedincome universe, and that actively managing these exposures is vital, given the key role that security selection is expected to play in driving performance.

•
Equities have turned a bit more volatile this year in response to disruptive weather, the invasion of the
Crimean peninsula and longer run emerging-market worries.
•
Even so, following a brief dip in the latter part of January, global stocks bounced higher with the U.S. leading.
•
The ability of equities in developed markets to quickly overcome periodic stumbles underscores investors’ willingness to assume risk even when economic and geopolitical uncertainties are on the rise.
– In our view, the rotation out of cash and fixed-income assets and into stocks is still very much in play.
•
The yields on Treasury and investment-grade corporate bonds remain low relative to their own history and to inflation.
•
We continue to expect more volatile assets (equities, high-yield debt and emerging-market debt) to outperform less volatile ones.
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.

• With some help from poor weather, Citigroup’s
Economic Surprise Index turned sharply lower beginning in January, hitting its lowest point in almost 20 months.
– The persistent trend in this measure coincides with a string of poor economic outcomes.
•
The Chicago Federal Reserve National
Economic Activity Index, a composite of 85 monthly indicators, suggests that the U.S. economy was tracking below trend during the first quarter.
• Some economists worry that there’s more underlying weakness than can be explained by weather alone.
• Although that’s a minority view, we share in the frustration that the recovery from one of the deepest recessions remains one of the weakest.
69
• Since the recession’s bottom in the second quarter of 2009, U.S. inflation-adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) has advanced at a meager 2.3% annual rate.
•
The U.S. economic expansions that followed the recessions of 1973 to 1975 and 1981 to 1982 were more than twice as strong as the current one this far into the upturn.
•
The saddest fact is that this lackluster performance since the start of the recovery in mid-2009 looks downright stellar compared against those of the other major developed economies.
•
Both the U.K. and Japan have recorded a decent improvement in GDP over the past year, closer to the U.S. experience and much better than that of the eurozone.
70
•
Earnings have been solid in the U.S. and Japan, and they are expected to gain traction elsewhere this year.
•
Forward-looking estimates of U.S. company earnings per share (EPS) continue to move ahead into new-high territory, with the latest EPS forecasts more than 20% above the 2008 peak.
•
Companies in the U.K. have not benefited very much from the rather vibrant economic recovery — underscoring the importance of global economic conditions to U.K. companies’ bottom lines.
• Within the eurozone, analysts’ EPS forecasts have been in a narrow range since mid-2012, although one can argue that this is an improvement in itself versus the declines sustained in 2008 and 2011.
• In contrast, Japan’s expected earnings trend has been enjoying a sharp rebound since 2012, benefiting from the yen’s decline, quantitative easing and Prime Minster Abe’s fiscal stimulus measures.
71
•
The yield curve spread between 2-year and 10year U.S. Treasurys is likely to flatten over time as the Federal Reserve shifts away from its ultra-loose policy position.
•
However, given the extreme starting point with
2-year notes some 230 basis points below 10year bonds, the curve will likely remain rather steep through 2015.
•
Recessions usually begin a year or two after the yield curve flattens and inverts, since an inverted curve is symptomatic of tight liquidity and corporate financial stress.
•
As a result, it appears too early for markets to discount a cyclical downturn.
•
We expect bond yields to drift upward through
2014, with the yield on the Treasury 10-year bond reaching 3.25% to 3.50% by the end of the year.
•
The first Federal funds rate hike could occur as early as mid-2015.

•
The U.S. is among the more expensive stock markets in the world today. Yet the market’s price/earnings ratio and other metrics of value appear well within the historical norm.
•
This is especially so against the fundamental backdrop of very low interest rates, a stillexpansionary monetary policy and further improvement in economic growth and corporate profitability.
•
The cyclically adjusted price/earnings ratio (CAPE), however, measures the current level of the S&P
500 Price Index at 25 times its average reported earnings over the previous 10 years. This does indeed look extended versus most time periods.
•
Although there is a strong inverse correlation between the level of the CAPE and future stock market performance, the consistency of those outcomes are much higher when the time horizon is expanded to five and ten years. It’s a mistake to forecast equity performance over a one- or two-year time frame using this statistic.
73
•
The eurozone is enjoying its best economic performance since 2010 as gross domestic product has turned modestly positive on consumptions gains.
•
Investor sentiment has improved in stunning fashion, and periphery bond yields have fallen sharply —both in absolute terms and relative to
German bunds.
•
The huge declines in periphery yields reflect:
– An improvement in fiscal positions, with some countries now running primary fiscal surpluses (i.e. before interest payments on the debt).
– The elimination of the risk of a currency breakup.
– Some crossover demand as investors move away from emerging markets.
– Falling inflation through the eurozone, with the periphery countries either near a zero price change over the past year or experiencing outright deflation.
•
Despite this, we still believe that the region is a fair distance away from a sustained expansion.
74
•
Debt burdens remain near their peak levels in
Europe; this is especially true in the periphery, where recession and price deflation have increased the real debt burden.
•
We are keeping a close eye on eurozone inflation rates. The steady decline in nonperiphery core-country consumer price indexes to a pace well below the European Central Bank
2% target is worrisome.
•
Deflation in the periphery countries only serves to impede their recovery.
•
The health of the European banking system is still in question. Lending to businesses and households continues to be quite weak, although lending standards have eased somewhat in recent quarters.
• This year’s Asset Quality Review and stress testing of major and mid-tier European banks will likely constrain lending to households and corporations in the coming months.
75
•
Growth in the region will almost certainly continue to be subpar.
•
Industrial output is improving noticeably in
Germany, but appears to be flat-lining elsewhere.
•
Recovery in the labor markets is virtually nonexistent. At 12%, the overall eurozone unemployment rate remains stuck near its cyclical high.
•
We continue to believe that the European
Central Bank’s (ECB) reluctance to counteract the decline in its balance sheet threatens to worsen the disinflationary impact of the rising euro.
•
We anticipate the ECB will become incrementally more expansive in order to provide relief to the banking system and stanch the downward pressure on inflation.
76
•
In emerging markets, both political and economic factors have reduced our conviction that their value will be realized quickly.
• The obvious political factor is Russia’s invasion of
Crimea, which led to economic sanctions from the U.S. and its allies.
•
While there are questions about how painful and effective those sanctions will be, foreign investors have been quicker and more aggressive in delivering punishment.
– The Russian stock market and currency have fallen sharply, although the ruble started to slide well before the invasion of Crimea.
– The ruble’s value is now lower than it was during the 2008 financial crisis —a time when oil prices also plunged.
•
Since the Russian stock market accounts for 6% of the
MSCI Emerging Market Index, prolonged weakness in
Russian equities and the ruble would act as an important headwind impeding overall emerging-market equity performance.

77
•
Geopolitical concerns and a further easing of inflation pressures around the globe should keep global monetary policies accommodative.
•
Although we think the Federal Reserve will remain dovish, we expect some firming of bond yields by year end —a more normal relationship visà-vis expected inflation.
•
Overall, we continue to expect more volatile assets (equities, high-yield debt and emergingmarket debt) to outperform less volatile ones.
•
In equities, while momentum (as opposed to value) has worked best, we are mindful that it can become dangerous as participants crowd into the same trade and leverage up in an effort to improve returns.
•
The surge in margin debt as a percentage of equity market capitalization is an early warning sign that we think merits monitoring.
78
Fixed Income
Despite a stronger rally in sovereign debt than anticipated, overall performance has been solid, supported by exposure to high-yield and emerging-market debt. Intermediate-core managers have expressed a bias toward a flattening yield curve, which has been helpful. Structured products, such as non-agency commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, remain favored due to strong relative value versus other investment-grade sectors, improving fundamentals and supportive technicals. High-yield bonds continue to look modestly attractive as economic fundamentals should keep default rates low. Inflows have been strong in emergingmarket debt with deals oversubscribed, underscoring strong asset-class demand.
Equity
Given the mid-to-late market cycle in the U.S., managers favor companies that can deliver earnings growth, subscribing to a qualitygrowth focus. In Europe, a shift occurred in relative performance to domestically oriented sectors from export-dependent areas; our managers believe this convergence has more to go, showing biases to industrials, technology and consumer discretionary.
Alternatives
Managers are adding to their equity exposure as the environment improves for bottom-up stock-picking. Activist investing and mergers and acquisition strategies have been contributing to performance. In fixed income, alternative strategies are more balanced, with yields and spreads not offering any big opportunities. Most of the emphasis is on structured credit, such as commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities.

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. Fee waivers are voluntary and may be discontinued at any time. Source: SEI Datamart

This information should not be relied upon by the reader as research or investment advice. This information is for educational purposes only.
For those SEI Funds which employ the ‘manager of managers’ structure, SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC) has ultimate responsibility for the investment performance of the Funds due to its responsibility to oversee the sub-advisers and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement.
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.
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. Commodityrelated 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. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
