The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds.
     SECURITY VALUATION -- Investments in equity securities which are traded on
a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market
system) are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such
equity securities on each business day; other equity securities traded in the
over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was
reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations
exceeding sixty days to maturity for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations
with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their
amortized cost.
     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- It is each Fund's intention to continue to qualify
as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying
with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no
provisions for Federal income taxes are required in the accompanying financial
statements.
     SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME -- Security transactions are
accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is
recognized on the accrual basis. Costs used in determining realized gains and
losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific
securities sold adjusted for the accretion and amortization of purchase
discounts and premiums during the respective holding periods. Purchase discounts
and premiums on securities held by the Funds are accreted and amortized to
maturity using a method which approximates the effective interest method.
     REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Securities pledged as collateral for Repurchase
Agreements are held by the custodian bank until the respective agreements
mature. Provisions of the Repurchase Agreements and procedures adopted by SEI
Investments Fund Management (the "Manager") and the adviser ensure that the
market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is
sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty
defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters
into an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be
delayed or limited.
     FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The S&P 500 Index Fund invests in S&P 500 futures
contracts. For each S&P 500 futures contract, the Fund pledges Treasury bills
with the broker valued at approximately $10,000 per contract. Subsequent
payments to and from the broker are made on a daily basis or upon expiration or
closing of the position, as the value of the S&P 500 Index fluctuates. These
fluctuations make the positions in the futures contracts more or less valuable,
which results in gains or losses to the Fund. The S&P 500 Index Fund's
investment in S&P 500 Index futures contracts is designed to assist the Fund in
more closely approximating the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Risks of
entering into S&P 500 Index futures contracts include the possibility that there
may be an illiquid market and that a change in the

                                                                              15

value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities. Should the S&P 500 Index move unexpectedly, the Fund may
not receive the anticipated benefits from the S&P 500 Index futures contracts
and may realize a loss.
     A summary of the open S&P 500 Index futures contracts held by the S&P 500
Index Fund at September 30, 2000, is as follows:

               CONTRACT                         UNREALIZED
  NUMBER OF      VALUE                         DEPRECIATION
  CONTRACTS      (000)          EXPIRATION         (000)
  ---------    --------         ----------     ------------
     101        $36,706          12/15/00         $(937)

     CLASSES -- Class specific expenses are borne by that class of shares.
Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the
espective classes 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 Fund are prorated
to the Funds on the basis of relative net assets.
     NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE -- The net asset value per share of each Fund is
calculated on each business day. In general, it is computed by dividing the
assets of each fund, less its liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares
of the Fund.
     OTHER -- Distributions from net investment income for the Funds are paid to
shareholders in the form of monthly dividends for the Bond Index Fund and
quarterly for the S&P 500 Index Fund. Any net realized capital gains on sales of
securities are distributed to shareholders at least annually.
     Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized
capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under generally
accepted accounting principals.

3.   TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Trust and the Manager are parties to management agreements for the S&P 500
Index Fund and bond Index Fund dated July 25, 1986 and January 20, 1986,
respectively, under which the Manager provides management, administrative,
transfer agent, and shareholder services to the Funds for an annual fee equal to
 .22% of the average daily net assets of the S&P 500 Index Fund and .35% of
average daily net assets of the Bond Index Fund. The Manager has agreed to waive
its fee so that the total annual expenses of each Fund will not exceed voluntary
expense limitations adopted by the Manager. In the event that the total annual
expenses of a Fund, after reflecting a waiver of all fees by the Manager, exceed
the specific limitation, the Manager has agreed to bear such excess. Any such
waiver is voluntary and may be terminated at any time at the Manager's sole
discretion.
     Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of the Manager. The Trust
pays each unaffiliated Trustee an annual fee for attendance at quarterly,
interim and committee meetings. Compensation of officers is paid by the Manager.
     SEI Investments Distribution Company ("the Distributor"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of SEI Investments and a registered broker-dealer, acts as the
distributor of the shares of the Trust under the Distribution Agreements. The
Trust has adopted shareholder servicing plans (the "Plans") for its Class A and
Class E shares pursuant to which shareholder servicing fees of up to .15% or
 .25%, respectively, and for the Bond Index Fund up to .25%, of the average daily
net assets attributable to the particular class of shares are paid to the
Distributor. Under the Plans, the Distributor may perform, or may compensate
other service providers for performing, certain shareholder and administrative
services. Under the Plans, the Distributor may retain as a profit any difference
between the fee it receives and the amount it pays to third parties.

4.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT
Under an investment advisory agreement dated November 18, 1998, SEI Investments
Management Corporation ("SIMC") serves as the Investment Adviser of the S&P 500
Index Fund. For its services as

Bond Index Fund                739       (1,187)         (448)

     The Bond Index Fund invests primarily in securities issued or guaranteed as
to principal and interest by the U.S. Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities. The ability of the issuers of the repurchase agreements and
other bonds held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by
economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. The market value
of the Fund's investments will change in response to interest rate changes and
other factors. During periods of falling interest rates, the values of fixed
income securities generally rise. Conversely, during periods of rising interest
rates, the values of such securities generally decline. Changes by recognized
rating agencies in the ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and
principal may also affect the value of these investments. A summary of credit
quality ratings for securities held by the Fund at September 30, 2000, is as
follows:

                                                   % OF

6.   LINE OF CREDIT
The Funds have a bank line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit are
secured by investment securities of the Funds equal to 110% of such borrowings
which may not exceed 10% of the Funds' total assets. During the period ended
September 30, 2000, no borrowings were made from this line of credit.

                                                                              17
