This Prospectus sets forth concisely information about the above-referenced
portfolios. Please read this Prospectus carefully before investing, and keep it
on file for future reference.
A Statement of Additional Information dated January 31, 1996, has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available upon request and
without charge by writing the Distributor, SEI Financial Services Company, 680
East Swedesford Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658, or by calling 1-800-342-
5734. The Statement of Additional Information is incorporated into this
Prospectus by reference.
SEI Institutional Managed Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management
investment company, certain classes of which offer financial institutions a
convenient means of investing their own funds or funds for which they act in a
fiduciary, agency or custodial capacity in professionally managed diversified
portfolios of securities. A portfolio may offer separate classes of shares that
differ from each other primarily in the allocation of certain distribution
expenses, sales charges and minimum investment amounts. This Prospectus offers
the Class A shares of the fixed income portfolios (each a "Portfolio" and,
together, the "Portfolios") listed above.
THE HIGH YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO INVESTS PRIMARILY, AND MAY INVEST ALL OF ITS
ASSETS, IN LOWER RATED BONDS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "JUNK BONDS." THESE
SECURITIES ARE SPECULATIVE AND ARE SUBJECT TO GREATER RISK OF LOSS OF PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST THAN INVESTMENTS IN HIGHER RATED BONDS. BECAUSE INVESTMENT IN SUCH
SECURITIES ENTAILS GREATER RISKS, INCLUDING RISK OF DEFAULT, AN INVESTMENT IN
THE HIGH YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO SHOULD NOT CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE INVESTMENT
PROGRAM AND MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ALL INVESTORS. INVESTORS SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS POSED BY AN INVESTMENT IN THE HIGH YIELD BOND
PORTFOLIO BEFORE INVESTING. SEE "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES," "RISK
FACTORS" AND THE "APPENDIX."
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE TRUST'S SHARES ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED OR
ENDORSED BY, ANY BANK. THE TRUST'S SHARES ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER
GOVERNMENT AGENCY. INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES INVOLVES RISK, INCLUDING POSSIBLE
LOSS OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT INVESTED.

THE TRUST ______________________________________________________________________
SEI INSTITUTIONAL MANAGED TRUST (the "Trust") is an open-end investment
management company that offers units of beneficial interest ("shares") in
separate diversified and non-diversified portfolios. The Trust offers two
separate classes of shares, Class A and Class D, which provide for variations
in distribution and transfer agent costs, sales charges, voting rights and
dividends. This prospectus offers Class A shares of the Trust's Core Fixed
Income, Bond and High Yield Bond Portfolios (each a "Portfolio" and, together,
the "Portfolios"). The investment adviser and investment sub-advisers to the
Portfolios are referred to collectively as the "advisers." Additional
information pertaining to the Trust may be obtained by writing from SEI
Financial Services Company, 680 East Swedesford Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania
19087-1658, or by calling 1-800-342-5734.
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES _____________________________________________
CORE FIXED The investment objective of the Core Fixed Income Portfolio
INCOME (formerly the Intermediate Bond Portfolio) is current income
PORTFOLIO consistent with the preservation of capital. There can be no
assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its investment
objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in fixed income securities
that are rated investment grade or better, i.e., rated in
one of the four highest rating categories by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") at the
time of purchase, or, if not rated, determined to be of
comparable quality by the advisers. Fixed income securities
rated in the fourth highest rating category lack outstanding
investment characteristics, and have speculative
characteristics as well. Fixed income securities in which
the Portfolio may invest consist of: (i) corporate bonds and
debentures, (ii) obligations issued by the United States
Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, (iii)
municipal securities of issuers located in all fifty states,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and other U.S.
territories and possessions, consisting of municipal bonds,
municipal notes, tax-exempt commercial paper and municipal
lease obligations, (iv) receipts involving U.S. Treasury
obligations, (v) mortgage-backed securities, (vi) asset-
backed securities, and (vii) zero coupon, pay-in-kind or
deferred payment securities.
Any remaining assets may be invested in: (i) interest-
only and principal-only components of mortgage-backed
securities, (ii) mortgage dollar rolls, (iii) securities
issued on a when-issued and delayed-delivery basis,
including TBA mortgage-backed securities, (iv) warrants, (v)
money market securities, and (vi) Yankee obligations. In
addition, the Portfolio may purchase or write options,
futures (including futures on U.S. Treasury obligations and
Eurodollar instruments) and options on futures.
Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed
income security on a cash flow basis. Most debt obligations
provide interest payments and a final payment at maturity.
Some also have put or call provisions that allow the
security to be redeemed at specified dates prior to
maturity. Duration incorporates yield, coupon interest
payments, final
4
<PAGE>
maturity and call features into a single measure. The
advisers therefore consider it a more accurate measure of a
security's expected life and sensitivity to interest rate
changes than is the security's term to maturity.
The Core Fixed Income Portfolio invests in a portfolio
with a dollar-weighted average duration that will, under
normal market conditions, stay within plus or minus 20% of
what the advisers believe to be the average duration of the
domestic bond market as a whole. The advisers base their
analysis of the average duration of the domestic bond market
on bond market indices which they believe to be
representative. The advisers currently use the Lehman
Aggregate Bond Index for this purpose.
The Portfolio's annual turnover rate may exceed 100%.
Such a turnover rate may lead to higher transaction costs
and may result in higher taxes for shareholders. See
"Taxes."
The Portfolio's investment adviser is SEI Financial
Management Corporation and its investment sub-advisers are
BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., Firstar Investment
Research & Management Company and Western Asset Management
Company.
BOND PORTFOLIO The investment objective of the Bond Portfolio is current
income consistent with preservation of capital. There can be
no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its investment
objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in fixed income securities
that are rated investment grade or better, i.e., rated in
one of the four highest rating categories by an NRSRO at the
time of purchase, or, if not rated, determined to be of
comparable quality by the advisers. Fixed income securities
rated in the fourth highest rating category lack outstanding
investment characteristics, and have speculative
characteristics as well. Fixed income securities in which
the Portfolio may invest consist of: (i) corporate bonds and
debentures, (ii) obligations issued by the United States
Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, (iii)
receipts involving U.S. Treasury obligations, (iv) mortgage-
backed securities, (v) asset-backed securities, and (vi)
zero coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment securities.
Any remaining assets may be invested in: (i) convertible
securities, (ii) securities issued on a when-issued and
delayed-delivery basis, including TBA mortgage-backed
securities, (iii) money market securities, and (iv) Yankee
obligations. In addition, the Portfolio may purchase or
write options, futures and options on futures.
There are no restrictions on the Portfolio's maturity.
The Portfolio's investment adviser is SEI Financial
Management Corporation and its investment sub-adviser is
Boatmen's Trust Company.
HIGH YIELD BOND The investment objective of the High Yield Bond Portfolio is
PORTFOLIO to maximize total return. There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio will achieve its investment objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in fixed income securities
that are rated below investment grade, i.e., rated below the
top four rating categories by an NRSRO at the time of
purchase, or, if not rated,
5
<PAGE>
determined to be of comparable quality by the advisers.
Below investment grade securities are commonly referred to
as "junk bonds," and generally entail increased credit and
market risk. Securities rated in the lowest rating
categories may have predominantly speculative
characteristics or may be in default. The achievement of the
Portfolio's investment objective may be more dependent on
the advisers' own credit analysis than would be the case if
the Portfolio invested in higher rated securities. There is
no bottom limit on the ratings of high yield securities that
may be purchased or held by the Portfolio.
The Portfolio may invest in all types of fixed income
securities issued by domestic and foreign issuers,
including: (i) mortgage-backed securities, (ii) asset-backed
securities, (iii) zero coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred
payment securities, and (iv) variable and floating rate
instruments.
Any assets of the Portfolio not invested in the fixed
income securities described above may be invested in: (i)
convertible securities, (ii) preferred stocks, (iii) equity
securities, (iv) investment grade fixed income securities,
(v) money market securities, (vi) securities issued on a
when-issued and delayed-delivery basis, including TBA
mortgage-backed securities, (vii) forward foreign currency
contracts, and (viii) Yankee obligations. In addition, the
Portfolio may purchase or write options, futures and options
on futures.
The advisers may vary the average maturity of the
securities in the Portfolio without limit, and there is no
restriction on the maturity of any individual security.
The "Appendix" to this Prospectus sets forth a
description of the bond rating categories of several NRSROs.
The ratings established by each NRSRO represents its opinion
of the safety of principal and interest payments (and not
the market risk) of bonds and other fixed income securities
it undertakes to rate at the time of issuance. Ratings are
not absolute standards of quality, and may not reflect
changes in an issuer's creditworthiness. Accordingly,
although the advisers will consider ratings, they will
perform their own analyses and will not rely principally on
ratings. The advisers will consider, among other things, the
price of the security and the financial history and
condition, the prospects and the management of an issuer in
selecting securities for the Portfolio.
The Portfolio's investment adviser is SEI Financial
Management Corporation and its investment sub-adviser is BEA
Associates.
GENERAL INVESTMENT POLICIES ____________________________________________________
Borrowing Each Portfolio may borrow money to meet redemptions for
temporary, emergency purposes. A Portfolio will not purchase
securities while its borrowings exceed 5% of its total
assets.
Illiquid Each Portfolio's investment in illiquid securities will be
Securities limited to 15% of its net assets.
Investment Each Portfolio may purchase investment company securities,
Company which will result in the layering of expenses. There are
Securities legal limits on the amount of such securities that may be
acquired by a Portfolio.
6
<PAGE>
Securities Each Portfolio may lend its securities in order to realize
Lending additional income.
Temporary In order to meet liquidity needs or for temporary defensive
Defensive purposes, each Portfolio may invest up to 100% of its assets
Investments in cash and money market securities. Money market securities
must be rated in one of the top two categories by an NRSRO
or, if not rated, determined to be of comparable quality by
the Portfolio's advisers. To the extent a Portfolio is
engaged in temporary defensive investing, the Portfolio will
not be pursuing its investment objective.
For additional information regarding the Portfolios'
permitted investments, see "Risk Factors" and "Description
of Permitted Investments and Risk Factors" in this
Prospectus and "Description of Permitted Investments" in the
Statement of Additional Information. For a description of
the above ratings, see "Description of Ratings" in the
"Appendix" to this Prospectus and the Statement of
Additional Information.
RISK FACTORS____________________________________________________________________
Equity Investments in equity securities in general are subject to
Securities market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over
time. The value of convertible equity securities is also
affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of
the issuer and any call provisions. Fluctuations in the
value of equity securities in which a Portfolio invests will
cause the net asset value of the Portfolio to fluctuate.
Fixed Income The market value of a Portfolio's fixed income investments
Securities will change in response to interest rate changes and other
factors. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of outstanding fixed income securities generally
rise. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates,
the values of such securities generally decline. Securities
with longer maturities are subject to greater fluctuations
in value than securities with shorter maturities. Changes by
an NRSRO in the rating of any fixed income security and in
the ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and
principal also affect the value of these investments.
Changes in the value of a Portfolio's securities will not
affect cash income derived from these securities but will
affect the Portfolio's net asset value.
Securities held by a Portfolio that are guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities guarantee
only the payment of principal and interest, and do not
guarantee the securities' yield or value or the yield or
value of a Portfolio's shares.
There is a risk that the current interest rate on
floating and variable rate instruments may not accurately
reflect existing market interest rates.
Foreign Investing in the securities of foreign companies and the
Securities and utilization of forward foreign currency contracts involve
Foreign special risks and considerations not typically associated
Currency with investing in U.S. companies. These risks and
Contracts considerations include differences in accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards, generally higher
commission rates on foreign portfolio transactions, the
possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation,
adverse changes in investment or exchange control
regulations, political instability that
7
<PAGE>
could affect U.S. investment in foreign countries and
potential restrictions of the flow of international capital
and currencies. Foreign companies may also be subject to
less government regulation than U.S. companies. Moreover,
the dividends payable on the foreign securities may be
subject to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net
amount of income available for distribution to the
Portfolio's shareholders. Further, foreign securities often
trade with less frequency and volume than domestic
securities and, therefore, may exhibit greater price
volatility. Changes in foreign exchange rates will affect,
favorably or unfavorably, the value of those securities
which are denominated or quoted in currencies other than the
U.S. dollar.
By entering into forward foreign currency contracts, a
Portfolio will seek to protect the value of its investment
securities against a decline in the value of a currency.
However, these forward foreign currency contracts will not
eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the
securities. Rather, they simply establish a rate of exchange
which one can obtain at some future point in time. Although
such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a
decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also tend
to limit any potential gain which might result should the
value of such currency increase.
High Yield, The High Yield Bond Portfolio may invest in lower rated
Lower Rated securities. Fixed income securities are subject to the risk
Bonds of an issuer's ability to meet principal and interest
payments on the obligation (credit risk), and may also be
subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest
rate sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness
of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk).
Lower rate or unrated (i.e., high yield) securities are more
likely to react to developments affecting market and credit
risk than are more highly rated securities, which primarily
react to movements in the general level of interest rates.
The market values of fixed-income securities tend to vary
inversely with the level of interest rates. Yields and
market values of high yield securities will fluctuate over
time, reflecting not only changing interest rates but the
market's perception of credit quality and the outlook for
economic growth. When economic conditions appear to be
deteriorating, medium to lower rated securities may decline
in value due to heightened concern over credit quality,
regardless of prevailing interest rates. Investors should
carefully consider the relative risks of investing in high
yield securities and understand that such securities are not
generally meant for short-term investing.
The high yield market is relatively new and its growth
has paralleled a long period of economic expansion and an
increase in merger, acquisition and leveraged buyout
activity. Adverse economic developments can disrupt the
market for high yield securities, and severely affect the
ability of issuers, especially highly leveraged issuers, to
service their debt obligations or to repay their obligations
upon maturity which may lead to a higher incidence of
default on such securities. In addition, the secondary
market for high yield securities, which is concentrated in
relatively few market makers, may not be as liquid as the
secondary market for more highly rated securities. As a
result, the Portfolio's advisers could find it more
difficult to sell these securities or may be able to sell
the securities only
8
<PAGE>
at prices lower than if such securities were widely traded.
Furthermore the Trust may experience difficulty in valuing
certain securities at certain times. Prices realized upon
the sale of such lower rated or unrated securities, under
these circumstances, may be less than the prices used in
calculating the Portfolio's net asset value.
Prices for high yield securities may be affected by
legislative and regulatory developments. These laws could
adversely affect the Portfolio's net asset value and
investment practices, the secondary market value for high
yield securities, the financial condition of issuers of
these securities and the value of outstanding high yield
securities.
For example, federal legislation requiring the
divestiture by federally insured savings and loan
associations of their investments in high yield bonds and
limiting the deductibility of interest by certain corporate
issuers of high yield bonds adversely affected the market in
recent years. Lower rated or unrated debt obligations also
present risks based on payment expectations. If an issuer
calls the obligations for redemption, the Portfolio may have
to replace the security with a lower yielding security,
resulting in a decreased return for investors. If the
Portfolio experiences unexpected net redemptions, it may be
forced to sell its higher rated securities, resulting in a
decline in the overall credit quality of the Portfolio's
investment portfolio and increasing the exposure of the
Portfolio to the risks of high yield securities.
Mortgage-Backed Mortgage-backed securities are subject to the risk of
Securities prepayment of the underlying mortgages. During periods of
declining interest rates, prepayment of mortgages underlying
these securities can be expected to accelerate. When the
mortgaged-backed securities held by a Portfolio are prepaid,
the Portfolio must reinvest the proceeds in securities the
yield of which reflects prevailing interest rates, which may
be lower than the yield of the prepaid security.
Zero Coupon Zero coupon obligations may be subject to greater
Obligations fluctuations in value due to interest rate changes than
interest bearing obligations. A Portfolio will be required
to include the imputed interest in zero coupon obligations
in its current income. Because a Portfolio distributes all
of its net investment income to shareholders, a Portfolio
may have to sell portfolio securities to distribute the
income attributable to these obligations and securities at a
time when the advisers would not have chosen to sell such
obligations or securities and which may result in a taxable
gain or loss.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS _________________________________________________________
The investment objective and investment limitations are
fundamental policies of the Portfolios. Fundamental policies
cannot be changed with respect to the Trust or a Portfolio
without the consent of the holders of a majority of the
Trust's or that Portfolio's outstanding shares.
No Portfolio may:
1. With respect to 75% of its assets, (i) purchase
securities of any issuer (except securities issued or
guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities)
9
<PAGE>
if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would be
invested in the securities of such issuer; or (ii) acquire
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any
one issuer.
2. Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25%
of the total assets of the Portfolio to be invested in
the securities of one or more issuers conducting their
principal business activities in the same industry,
provided that this limitation does not apply to
investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the
United States Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.
The foregoing percentage limitations will apply at the time
of the purchase of a security. Additional fundamental and
non-fundamental investment limitations are set forth in the
Statement of Additional Information.
THE MANAGER
AND SHAREHOLDER
SERVICING AGENT ________________________________________________________________
SEI Financial Management Corporation ("SFM" or the
"Adviser") provides the Trust with overall management
services, regulatory reporting, all necessary office space,
equipment, personnel and facilities, and acts as dividend
disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent. In
addition, SFM also serves as transfer agent (the "Transfer
Agent") to the Class A shares of the Trust.
For its management services, SFM is entitled to a fee
which is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate
of .28% of the average daily net assets of the Core Fixed
Income and Bond Portfolios and .35% of the average daily net
assets of the High Yield Bond Portfolio. SFM has voluntarily
agreed to waive a portion of its fees in order to limit the
operating expenses of each Portfolio. SFM reserves the
right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this voluntary
fee waiver at any time.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the
Portfolios paid SFM the following management fees (based on
each Portfolio's average daily net assets after fee
waivers): Core Fixed Income Portfolio, .30%; Bond Portfolio,
.26%; and High Yield Bond Portfolio, .16%.
THE ADVISER ____________________________________________________________________
SEI FINANCIAL SFM serves as investment adviser to each Portfolio. SFM is a
MANAGEMENT wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Corporation ("SEI"), a
CORPORATION financial services company located in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
The principal business address of SFM is 680 East Swedesford
Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658. SEI was founded in
1968 and is a leading provider of investment solutions to
banks, institutional investors, investment advisers and
insurance companies. Affiliates of SFM have provided
consulting advice to institutional investors for more than
20 years, including advice regarding the selection and
evaluation of investment advisers. SFM currently serves as
manager or administrator to more than 26 investment
companies,
10
<PAGE>
including more than 220 portfolios, which investment
companies have more than $51 billion in assets as of
September 30, 1995.
The Adviser has general oversight responsibility for the
investment advisory services provided to the Portfolios,
including formulating the Portfolios' investment policies
and analyzing economic trends affecting the Portfolio. In
addition, SFM, where it is the Adviser to a Portfolio, is
responsible for (i) managing the allocation of assets among
the Portfolio's sub-advisers, (ii) directing and evaluating
the investment services provided by the sub-advisers,
including their adherence to each Portfolio's respective
investment objective and policies and the Portfolio's
investment performance, and (iii) managing the cash portion
of the Portfolio's assets. In accordance with the
Portfolio's investment objective and policies, and under the
supervision of the Adviser and the Trust's Board of
Trustees, each sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day
investment management of all or a discrete portion of the
assets of a Portfolio. The Adviser and sub-advisers are
authorized to make investment decisions for the Portfolios
and place orders on behalf of the Portfolios to effect the
investment decisions made.
SFM monitors the compliance of the sub-advisers of each
Portfolio with regulatory and tax regulations, such as
portfolio concentration and diversification. For the most
part compliance with these requirements by each sub-adviser
with respect to its portion of a Portfolio will assure
compliance by that Portfolio as a whole. In addition, SFM
monitors positions taken by each of a Portfolio's sub-
advisers and will notify the sub-advisers of any developing
situations to help ensure that investments do not run afoul
of the short-term test or the wash sale rules. To the extent
that having multiple sub-advisers responsible for investing
separate portions of the Portfolio's assets creates the need
for coordination among the sub-advisers, there is an
increased risk that the Portfolio will not comply with these
regulatory and tax requirements.
For these advisory services, SFM is entitled to a fee,
which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual
rate of .275% of the Core Fixed Income and Bond Portfolios'
average daily net assets and .4875% of the High Yield Bond
Porfolio's average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, SFM
received an advisory fee of .275% of the Core Fixed Income
and Bond Portfolios' average daily net assets and .4875% of
the High Yield Bond Portfolios' average daily net assets.
It is possible that different sub-advisers of a Portfolio
could take opposite actions within a short period of time
with respect to a particular security. For example, one sub-
adviser could buy a security for the Portfolio and shortly
thereafter another sub-adviser could sell the same security
from the portion of the Portfolio allocated to it. If in
these circumstances the securities could be transferred from
one sub-adviser's portion of the Portfolio to another, the
Portfolio could avoid transaction costs and could avoid
creating possible wash sales and short-short gains under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Such
transfers are not practicable but the sub-advisers do not
11
<PAGE>
believe that there will be material adverse effects on the
Portfolio as a result. First, it does not appear likely that
there will be substantial overlap in the securities acquired
for a Portfolio by the various sub-advisers. Moreover, the
sub-advisers would probably only rarely engage in the types
of offsetting transactions described above, especially
within a short time period. Therefore, it is a matter of
speculation whether offsetting transactions would result in
any significant increases in transaction costs or have
significant tax consequences. With respect to the latter,
the sub-advisers have established procedures with respect to
the short-short test which are designed to prevent
realization of short-short gains in excess of Code limits.
It is true that wash sales could occur in spite of the
efforts of SFM, but the Board of Trustees believes that the
benefit of using multiple sub-advisers outweighs the
consequences of any wash sales.
SFM is currently seeking an exemptive order from the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that would
permit SFM, with the approval of the Trust's Board of
Trustees, to retain sub-advisers for a Portfolio without
submitting the sub-advisory agreement to a vote of the
Portfolio's shareholders. If granted, the exemptive relief
will permit the non-disclosure of amounts payable by SFM
under such sub-advisory agreements. The Trust will notify
shareholders in the event of any change in the identity of
the sub-adviser for a Portfolio. Until or unless this
exemptive order is granted, if one of the sub-advisers is
terminated or departs from a Portfolio with multiple sub-
advisers, the Portfolio will handle such termination or
departure in one of two ways. First, the Portfolio may
propose that a new sub-adviser be appointed to manage that
portion of the Portfolio's assets managed by the departing
sub-adviser. In this case, the Portfolio would be required
to submit to the vote of the Portfolio's shareholders the
approval of a investment sub-advisory contract with the new
sub-adviser. In the alternative, the Portfolio may decide to
allocate the departing sub-adviser's assets among the
remaining sub-advisers. This allocation would not require
new investment sub-advisory contracts with the remaining
sub-advisers, and consequently no shareholder approval would
be necessary.

DISTRIBUTION ___________________________________________________________________
SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI, serves as each Portfolio's
distributor pursuant to a distribution agreement (the
"Distribution Agreement") with the Trust. Each Class of the
Trust has adopted a distribution plan (the "Class A Plan" or
"Class D Plan," and collectively, the "Plans") pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act").
The Class A Plan provides for reimbursement for expenses
incurred by the Distributor, in an amount not to exceed .30%
of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, on an
annualized basis, provided those expenses are permissible as
to both type and amount under a budget adopted by the Board
of Trustees, including those who are not interested persons
and have no financial interest in the Plan or any related
agreement ("Qualified Trustees"). Currently, the budget
(shown here as a percentage of average daily net assets) for
each Portfolio is set at an annual rate of .08% for the Core
Fixed Income Portfolio, .10% for the Bond and High Yield
Bond Portfolios.
Distribution-related expenses reimbursable to the
Distributor under the budget include those related to the
costs of the printing of reports, prospectuses, notices and
similar materials for persons other than current
shareholders, federal and state securities law registration
and the cost of complying with such laws in the distribution
of the Trust's shares, advertising expenses and promotional
and sales expenses including expenses for travel,
communication and compensation and benefits for sales
personnel. Distribution expenses not attributable to a
specific Portfolio are allocated among each of the
Portfolios of the Trust on the basis of their average net
assets. The Trust is not obligated to reimburse the
Distributor for any expenditures in excess of the approved
budget.
It is possible that an institution may offer different
classes of shares to its customers and thus receive
different compensation with respect to different classes.
These financial institutions may also charge separate fees
to their customers.
The Trust may execute brokerage or other agency
transactions through the Distributor, for which the
Distributor may receive compensation.
The Distributor may, from time to time in its sole
discretion, institute one or more promotional incentive
programs, which will be paid for by the Distributor from the
sales charge it receives or from any other source available
to it. Under any such program, the Distributor will provide
promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other
compensation, including merchandise, airline vouchers, trips
and vacation packages, to all dealers selling
15
<PAGE>
shares of the Portfolios. Such promotional incentives will
be offered uniformly to all shares of the Portfolios, and
also will be offered uniformly to all dealers, predicated
upon the amount of shares of the Portfolios sold by such
dealer.
PURCHASE AND
REDEMPTION OF
SHARES _________________________________________________________________________
Financial institutions may acquire Class A shares of the
Portfolios for their own accounts or as record owner on
behalf of fiduciary, agency or custody accounts by placing
orders with SFM. Institutions that use certain SEI
proprietary systems may place orders electronically through
those systems. State securities laws may require banks and
financial institutions purchasing shares for their customers
to register as broker-dealers pursuant to state laws.
Financial institutions may impose an earlier cut-off time
for receipt of purchase orders directed through them to
allow for processing and transmittal of these orders to SFM
for effectiveness the same day. Financial institutions that
purchase shares for the accounts of their customers may
impose separate charges on these customers for account
services. Shares of the Portfolios are offered only to
residents of states in which the shares are eligible for
purchase.
Shares of each Portfolio may be purchased or redeemed on
days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business ("Business Days").
Shareholders who desire to purchase shares for cash must
place their orders with SFM prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
on any Business Day for the order to be accepted on that
Business Day. Generally, cash investments must be
transmitted or delivered in federal funds to the wire agent
on the next Business Day following the day the order is
placed. The Trust reserves the right to reject a purchase
order when the Distributor determines that it is not in the
best interest of the Trust or its shareholders to accept
such purchase order. In addition, because excessive trading
(including short-term "market timing" trading) can hurt a
Portfolio's performance, each Portfolio may refuse purchase
orders from any shareholder account if the accountholder has
been advised that previous purchase and redemption
transactions were considered excessive in number or amount.
Accounts under common control or ownership, including those
with the same taxpayer identification number and those
administered so as to redeem or purchase shares based upon
certain predetermined market indicators, will be considered
one account for this purpose.
Purchases will be made in full and fractional shares of
the Portfolios calculated to three decimal places. The Trust
will send shareholders a statement of shares owned after
each transaction. The purchase price of shares is the net
asset value next determined after a purchase order is
received and accepted by the Trust. The net asset value per
share of each Portfolio is determined by dividing the total
market value of a Portfolio's investments and other assets,
less any liabilities, by the total outstanding shares of
that Portfolio. Net
16
<PAGE>
asset value per share is determined as of the close of
business of the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time) on each Business Day.
The market value of each portfolio security is obtained
by SFM from an independent pricing service. Securities
having maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase
will be valued using the amortized cost method (described in
the Statement of Additional Information). The pricing
service relies primarily on prices of actual market
transactions as well as trader quotations. However, the
pricing service may use a matrix system to determine
valuations of equity and fixed income securities. This
system considers such factors as security prices, yields,
maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating
to specific securities in arriving at valuations. The
procedures used by the pricing service and its valuations
are reviewed by the officers of the Trust under the general
supervision of the Trustees.
Shareholders who desire to redeem shares of the
Portfolios must place their redemption orders with SFM prior
to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on any Business Day. The
redemption price is the net asset value per share of the
Portfolio next determined after receipt by SFM of the
redemption order. Payment on redemption will be made as
promptly as possible and, in any event, within seven days
after the redemption order is received.
Shares of a Portfolio may be purchased in exchange for
securities included in the Portfolio subject to SFM's
determination that the securities are acceptable. Securities
accepted in an exchange will be valued at the market value.
All accrued interest and subscription of other rights which
are reflected in the market price of accepted securities at
the time of valuation become the property of the Trust and
must be delivered by the Shareholder to the Trust upon
receipt from the issuer.
SFM will not accept securities for a Portfolio unless (1)
such securities are appropriate in the Portfolio at the time
of the exchange; (2) such securities are acquired for
investment and not for resale; (3) the Shareholder
represents and agrees that all securities offered to the
Trust for the Portfolio are not subject to any restrictions
upon their sale by the Portfolio under the Securities Act of
1933, or otherwise; (4) such securities are traded on the
American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or on
NASDAQ in an unrelated transaction with a quoted sales price
on the same day the exchange valuation is made or, if not
listed on such exchanges or on NASDAQ, have prices available
from an independent pricing service approved by the Trust's
Board of Trustees; and (5) the securities may be acquired
under the investment restrictions applicable to the
Portfolio.
Purchase and redemption orders may be placed by
telephone. Neither the Trust nor SFM will be responsible for
any loss, liability, cost or expense for acting upon wire
instructions or upon telephone instructions that it
reasonably believes to be genuine. The Trust and SFM will
each employ reasonable procedures to confirm that
instructions communicated by telephone are genuine,
including requiring a form of personal
17
<PAGE>
identification prior to acting upon instructions received by
telephone and recording telephone instructions.
If market conditions are extraordinarily active, or other
extraordinary circumstances exist, and shareholders
experience difficulties placing redemption orders by
telephone, shareholders may wish to consider placing their
order by other means.
PERFORMANCE ____________________________________________________________________
From time to time, a Portfolio may advertise yield and total
return. These figures will be based on historical earnings
and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
yield of a Portfolio refers to the annualized income
generated by an investment in the Portfolio over a specified
30-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the
same amount of income generated by the investment during
that period is generated in each 30-day period over one year
and is shown as a percentage of the investment.
The total return of a Portfolio refers to the average
compounded rate of return to a hypothetical investment
redeemed at the end of the specified period covered by the
total return figure, for designated time periods (including
but not limited to, the period from which the Portfolio
commenced operations through the specified date), assuming
that the entire investment is redeemed at the end of each
period and assuming the reinvestment of all dividend and
capital gain distributions. The total return of a Portfolio
may also be quoted as a dollar amount or on an aggregate
basis, an actual basis, without inclusion of any front-end
or contingent sales charges, or with a reduced sales charge
in advertisements distributed to investors entitled to a
reduced sales charge.
A Portfolio may periodically compare its performance to
that of: (i) other mutual funds tracked by mutual fund
rating services (such as Lipper Analytical), financial and
business publications and periodicals; (ii) broad groups of
comparable mutual funds; (iii) unmanaged indices which may
assume investment of dividends but generally do not reflect
deductions for administrative and management costs; or (iv)
other investment alternatives. A Portfolio may quote
Morningstar, Inc., a service that ranks mutual funds on the
basis of risk-adjusted performance. A Portfolio may quote
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois, which provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the U.S. A
Portfolio may use long term performance of these capital
markets to demonstrate general long-term risk versus reward
scenarios and could include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of the capital markets. A Portfolio may
also quote financial and business publications and
periodicals as they relate to fund management, investment
philosophy, and investment techniques.
A Portfolio may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising and may compare these
measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
attempt to compare historical share price fluctuations or
total returns to a benchmark while measures of benchmark
correlation indicate how valid a comparative
18
<PAGE>
benchmark might be. Measures of volatility and correlation
are calculated using averages of historical data and cannot
be calculated precisely.
For each Portfolio, the performance of Class A shares
will normally be higher than the performance of the Class D
shares of that Portfolio because of the additional
distribution and transfer agent expenses charged to Class D
shares.
Additional performance information is set forth in the
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and is available upon
request and without charge by calling 1-800-342-5734.
TAXES __________________________________________________________________________
The following summary of federal income tax consequences is
based on current tax laws and regulations, which may be
changed by legislative, judicial or administrative action.
No attempt has been made to present a detailed explanation
of the federal, state or local income tax treatment of a
Portfolio or its shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders are
urged to consult their tax advisers regarding specific
questions as to federal, state and local taxes. State and
local tax consequences of an investment in a Portfolio may
differ from the federal income tax consequences described
below. Additional information concerning taxes is set forth
in the Statement of Additional Information.
Tax Status of A Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal
the Portfolios income tax purposes and is not combined with the Trust's
other portfolios. Each Portfolio intends to continue to
qualify for the special tax treatment afforded regulated
investment companies ("RICs") under Subchapter M of the
Code, so as to be relieved of federal income tax on net
investment company taxable income (including the excess, if
any, of net short-term capital gains over net long-term
capital losses) and net capital gains (the excess of net
long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses)
distributed to shareholders.
Tax Status of Each Portfolio distributes substantially all of its net
Distributions investment company taxable income to shareholders. Dividends
from a Portfolio's net investment company taxable income are
taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income (whether
received in cash or in additional shares). Distributions of
net capital gains are taxable to shareholders as long-term
capital gains regardless of how long a shareholder has held
shares. Dividends and distributions received from a
Portfolio will not qualify for the corporate dividends
received deduction. Each Portfolio will make annual reports
to shareholders of the federal income tax status of all
distributions.
Dividends declared by a Portfolio in October, November or
December of any year and payable to shareholders of record
on a date in such a month will be deemed to have been paid
by the Portfolio and received by the shareholders on
December 31 of the year declared if paid by a Portfolio at
any time during the following January.
Each Portfolio intends to make sufficient distributions
to avoid liability for the federal excise tax applicable to
RICs.
Each sale, exchange or redemption of a Portfolio's shares
generally is a taxable transaction to the shareholder.

GENERAL INFORMATION ____________________________________________________________
The Trust The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated October 20, 1986. The
Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to offer separate
series ("portfolios") of shares and different classes of
each portfolio. All consideration received by the Trust for
shares of any class of any portfolio and all assets of such
portfolio or class belong to that portfolio or class,
respectively, and would be subject to the liabilities
related thereto.
The Trust pays its expenses, including fees of its
service providers, audit and legal expenses, expenses of
preparing prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials and
reports to shareholders, costs of custodial services and
registering the shares under federal and state securities
laws, pricing, insurance expenses, litigation and other
extraordinary expenses, brokerage costs, interest charges,
taxes and organization expenses.
Certain shareholders in one or more of the Portfolios may
obtain asset allocation services from the Adviser and other
financial intermediaries with respect to their investments
in such Portfolios. If a sufficient amount of a Portfolio's
assets are subject to such asset allocation services, a
Portfolio may incur higher transaction costs and a higher
portfolio turnover rate than would otherwise be anticipated
as a result of redemptions and purchases of Portfolio shares
pursuant to such services. Further, to the extent that the
Adviser is providing asset allocation services and providing
investment advice to the Portfolios, it may face conflicts
of interest in fulfilling its responsibilities because of
the possible differences between the interests of its asset
allocation clients and the interests of the Portfolios.
Trustees of the The management and affairs of the Trust are supervised by
Trust the Trustees under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The Trustees have approved contracts under
which, as described above, certain companies provide
essential management services to the Trust.
Voting Rights Each share held entitles the shareholder of record to one
vote. The shareholders of each Portfolio or class will vote
separately on matters pertaining solely to that Portfolio or
class, such as any distribution plan. As a Massachusetts
business trust, the Trust is not required to hold annual
meetings of shareholders but approval will be sought for
certain changes in the operation of the Trust and for the
election of Trustees under certain circumstances. In
addition, a Trustee may be removed by the remaining Trustees
or by shareholders at a special meeting called upon written
request of shareholders owning at least 10% of the
outstanding shares of the Trust. In the event that such a
meeting is requested, the Trust will provide appropriate
assistance and information to the shareholders requesting
the meeting.
Reporting The Trust issues unaudited financial statements semi-
annually and audited financial statements annually. The
Trust furnishes proxy statements and other reports to
shareholders of record.

Shareholder Shareholder inquiries should be directed to the Manager, SEI
Inquiries Financial Management Corporation, 680 East Swedesford Road,
Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658.
Dividends Substantially all of the net investment income (exclusive of
capital gains) of each Portfolio is declared daily and paid
monthly as a dividend. Currently, net capital gains (the
excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss) realized, if any, will be distributed at least
annually.
Shareholders automatically receive all income dividends
and capital gain distributions in additional shares at the
net asset value next determined following the record date,
unless the shareholder has elected to take such payment in
cash. Shareholders may change their election by providing
written notice to the SFM at least 15 days prior to the
distribution.
Dividends and capital gains of each Portfolio are paid on
a per-share basis. The value of each share will be reduced
by the amount of any such payment. If shares are purchased
shortly before the record date for a dividend or capital
gains distributions, a shareholder will pay the full price
for the share and receive some portion of the price back as
a taxable dividend or distribution.
The dividends on Class D shares of the Portfolios will
normally be lower than those on Class A shares because of
the additional distribution and transfer agent expenses
charged to Class D shares.

DESCRIPTION OF
PERMITTED
INVESTMENTS AND
RISK FACTORS ___________________________________________________________________
The following is a description of the permitted investment
practices for the Portfolios, and the associated risk
factors:
Asset-Backed Asset-backed securities are securities secured by non-
Securities mortgage assets such as company receivables, truck and auto
loans, leases and credit card receivables. Such securities
are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which
represent undivided fractional ownership interests in the
underlying pools of assets. Such securities also may be debt
instruments, which are also known as collateralized
obligations and are generally issued as the debt of a
special purpose entity, such as a trust, organized solely
for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt.
21
<PAGE>
Asset-backed securities are not issued or guaranteed by
the United States Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities; however, the payment of principal and
interest on such obligations may be guaranteed up to certain
amounts and for a certain period by a letter of credit
issued by a financial institution (such as a bank or
insurance company) unaffiliated with the issuers of such
securities. The purchase of asset-backed securities raises
risk considerations peculiar to the financing of the
instruments underlying such securities. For example, there
is a risk that another party could acquire an interest in
the obligations superior to that of the holders of the
asset-backed securities. There also is the possibility that
recoveries on repossessed collateral may not, in some cases,
be available to support payments on those securities. Asset-
backed securities entail prepayment risk, which may vary
depending on the type of asset, but is generally less than
the prepayment risk associated with mortgage-backed
securities. In addition, credit card receivables are
unsecured obligations of the card holders.
The market for asset-backed securities is at a relatively
early stage of development. Accordingly, there may be a
limited secondary market for such securities.
Convertible Convertible securities are corporate securities that are
Securities exchangeable for a set number of another security at a
prestated price. Convertible securities typically have
characteristics similar to both fixed-income and equity
securities. Because of the conversion feature, the market
value of a convertible security tends to move with the
market value of the underlying stock. The value of a
convertible security is also affected by prevailing interest
rates, the credit quality of the issuer, and any call
provisions.
Derivatives Derivatives are securities that derive their value from
other securities. The following are considered derivative
securities: options on futures, futures, options (e.g., puts
and calls), swap agreements, mortgage-backed securities
(e.g., CMOs, REMICs, IOs and POs), when-issued securities
and forward commitments, floating and variable rate
securities, convertible securities, "stripped" U.S. Treasury
securities (e.g., receipts and STRIPs) and privately issued
stripped securities (e.g., TGRs, TRs and CATS). See
elsewhere in this "Description of Permitted Investments and
Risk Factors" for discussions of these various instruments,
and see "Investment Objectives and Policies" for more
information about any investment policies and limitations
applicable to their use.
Equity Equity securities represent ownership interests in a company
Securities or corporation and include common stock, preferred stock and
warrants and other rights to acquire such instruments.
Changes in the value of portfolio securities will not
necessarily affect cash income derived from these securities
but will affect a Portfolio's net asset value.
Fixed Income Fixed income securities are debt obligations issued by
Securities corporations, municipalities and other borrowers. Moreover,
while securities with longer maturities tend to produce
higher yields, the prices of longer maturity securities are
also subject to greater market fluctuations as a result of
changes in interest rates.
22
<PAGE>
Forward Foreign A forward contract involves an obligation to purchase or
Currency sell a specific currency amount at a future date, agreed
Contracts upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the
contract. A Portfolio may also enter into a contract to
sell, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars or other
appropriate currency, the amount of foreign currency
approximating the value of some or all of a Portfolio's
securities denominated in such foreign currency.
At the maturity of a forward contract, a Portfolio may
either sell a portfolio security and make delivery of the
foreign currency, or it may retain the security and
terminate its contractual obligation to deliver the foreign
currency by purchasing an "offsetting" contract with the
same currency trader, obligating it to purchase, on the same
maturity date, the same amount of the foreign currency. A
Portfolio may realize a gain or loss from currency
transactions.
Futures and Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party
Options on and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a
Futures specific security at a specified future time and at a
specified price. An option on a futures contract gives the
purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a
position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price
during the term of the option. A Portfolio may use futures
contracts and related options for bona fide hedging
purposes, to offset changes in the value of securities held
or expected to be acquired or be disposed of, to minimize
fluctuations in foreign currencies, or to gain exposure to a
particular market or instrument. A Portfolio will minimize
the risk that it will be unable to close out a futures
contract by only entering into futures contracts that are
traded on national futures exchanges.
A bond index futures contract is a bilateral agreement
pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery
of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount
times the difference between the bond index value at the
close of trading of the contract and the price at which the
futures contract is originally struck. No physical delivery
of the bonds comprising the index is made; generally
contracts are closed out prior to the expiration date of the
contract.
No price is paid upon entering into futures contracts.
Instead, a Portfolio would be required to deposit an amount
of cash or U.S. Treasury securities known as "initial
margin." Subsequent payments, called "variation margin," to
and from the broker, would be made on a daily basis as the
value of the futures position varies (a process known as
"marking to market"). The margin is in the nature of a
performance bond or good-faith deposit on a futures
contract.
Eurodollar instruments are U.S. dollar-denominated
futures contracts or options thereon which are linked to the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), although foreign
currency denominated instruments are available from time to
time. Eurodollar futures contracts enable purchasers to
obtain a fixed rate for the lending of funds and sellers to
obtain a fixed rate for borrowings.
In order to avoid leveraging and related risks, when a
Portfolio purchases futures contracts, it will collateralize
its position by depositing an amount of cash or liquid, high
grade debt securities, equal to the market value of the
futures positions held, less margin
23
<PAGE>
deposits, in a segregated account with the Trust's
Custodian. Collateral equal to the current market value of
the futures position will be marked to market on a daily
basis.
There are risks associated with these activities,
including the following: (1) the success of a hedging
strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in
the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets
and movements in interest rates, (2) there may be an
imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market
value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices
of futures and options on futures, (3) there may not be a
liquid secondary market for a futures contract or option,
(4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an
exchange, and (5) government regulations may restrict
trading in futures contracts and options on futures.
A Portfolio may enter into futures contracts and options
on futures contracts traded on an exchange regulated by the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), so long as,
to the extent that such transactions are not for "bona fide
hedging purposes," the aggregate initial margin and premiums
on such positions (excluding the amount by which such
options are in the money) do not exceed 5% of the
Portfolio's net assets. A Portfolio may buy and sell futures
contracts and related options to manage its exposure to
changing interest rates and securities prices. Some
strategies reduce a Portfolio's exposure to price
fluctuations, while others tend to increase its market
exposure. Futures and options on futures can be volatile
instruments and involve certain risks that could negatively
impact a Portfolio's return.
Illiquid Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be disposed
Securities of within seven business days at approximately the price at
which they are being carried on a Portfolio's books.
Illiquid securities include demand instruments with a demand
notice period exceeding seven days, where there is no
secondary market for such security, and repurchase
agreements with durations (or maturities) over 7 days in
length.
Junk Bonds Bonds rated below investment grade are often referred to as
"junk bonds." Such securities involve greater risk of
default or price declines than investment grade securities
due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness and the
outlook for economic growth. The market for these securities
may be less active, causing market price volatility and
limited liquidity in the secondary market. This may limit a
Portfolio's ability to sell such securities at their market
value. In addition, the market for these securities may also
be adversely affected by legislative and regulatory
developments. Credit quality in the junk bond market can
change suddenly and unexpectedly, and even recently issued
credit ratings may not fully reflect the actual risks
imposed by a particular security. See also the "Risk
Factors" section.
Money Market Money market securities are high-quality, dollar-
Securities denominated, short-term debt instruments. They consist of:
(i) bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposits, notes
and time deposits of highly-rated U.S. banks and U.S.
branches of foreign banks; (ii) U.S. Treasury obligations
and obligations issued or guaranteed by the agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government; (iii) high-quality
commercial paper issued by U.S. and foreign corporations;
(iv) debt obligations with a maturity of one year of less
issued
24
<PAGE>
by corporations with outstanding high-quality commercial
paper; and (v) repurchase agreements involving any of the
foregoing obligations entered into with highly-rated banks
and broker-dealers.
Mortgage-Backed Mortgage-backed securities are instruments that entitle the
Securities holder to a share of all interest and principal payments
from mortgages underlying the security. The mortgages
backing these securities include conventional fifteen and
thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages, graduated payment
mortgages, adjustable rate mortgages and balloon mortgages.
Prepayment of mortgages which underlie securities purchased
at a premium often results in capital losses, while
prepayment of mortgages purchased at a discount often
results in capital gains. Because of these unpredictable
prepayment characteristics, it is often not possible to
predict accurately the average life or realized yield of a
particular issue.
Government Pass-Through Securities: These are securities
that are issued or guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency
representing an interest in a pool of mortgage loans. The
primary issuers or guarantors of these mortgage-backed
securities are GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. FNMA and FHLMC
obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Government as GNMA certificates are, but FNMA and
FHLMC securities are supported by the instrumentalities'
right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC
each guarantees timely distributions of interest to
certificate holders. GNMA and FNMA also each guarantees
timely distributions of scheduled principal. FHLMC has in
the past guaranteed only the ultimate collection of
principal of the underlying mortgage loan; however, FHLMC
now issues mortgage-backed securities (FHLMC Gold PCs) which
also guarantee timely payment of monthly principal
reductions. Government and private guarantees do not extend
to the securities' value, which is likely to vary inversely
with fluctuations in interest rates.
Private Pass-Through Securities: These are mortgage-
backed securities issued by a non-governmental entity, such
as a trust or corporate entity. These securities include
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), real estate
mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs") and commercial
mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"). While they are
generally structured with one or more types of credit
enhancement, private pass-through securities typically lack
a guarantee by an entity having the credit status of a
governmental agency or instrumentality.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities ("CMBS"): CMBS are
generally multi-class or pass-through securities backed by a
mortgage loan or a pool of mortgage loans secured by
commercial property, such as industrial and warehouse
properties, office buildings, retail space and shopping
malls, multifamily properties and cooperative apartments.
The commercial mortgage loans that underlie CMBS have
certain distinct characteristics. Commercial mortgage loans
are generally not amortizing or not fully amortizing. That
is, at their maturity date, repayment of the remaining
principal balance or "balloon" is due and is repaid through
the attainment of an additional loan of sale of the
property. Unlike most single family residential mortgages,
commercial real estate property loans often
25
<PAGE>
contain provisions which substantially reduce the likelihood
that such securities will be prepaid. The provisions
generally impose significant prepayment penalties on loans
and, in some cases there may be prohibitions on principal
prepayments for several years following origination.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs"): CMOs are
debt obligations or multiclass pass-through certificates
issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S.
Government or by private originators or investors in
mortgage loans. In a CMO, series of bonds or certificates
are usually issued in multiple classes. Principal and
interest paid on the underlying mortgage assets may be
allocated among the several classes of a series of a CMO in
a variety of ways. Each class of a CMO, often referred to as
a "tranche," is issued with a specific fixed or floating
coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution
date. Principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets
may cause CMOs to be retired substantially earlier then
their stated maturities or final distribution dates,
resulting in a loss of all or part of any premium paid.
REMICs: A REMIC is a CMO that qualifies for special tax
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code and invests in
certain mortgages principally secured by interests in real
property. Investors may purchase beneficial interests in
REMICs, which are known as "regular" interests, or
"residual" interests. Guaranteed REMIC pass-through
certificates ("REMIC Certificates") issued by FNMA or FHLMC
represent beneficial ownership interests in a REMIC trust
consisting principally of mortgage loans or FNMA, FHLMC or
GNMA-guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates. For
FHLMC REMIC Certificates, FHLMC guarantees the timely
payment of interest, and also guarantees the payment of
principal as payments are required to be made on the
underlying mortgage participation certificates. FNMA REMIC
Certificates are issued and guaranteed as to timely
distribution of principal and interest by FNMA.
Parallel Pay Securities; PAC Bonds: Parallel pay CMOs and
REMICS are structured to provide payments of principal on
each payment date to more than one class. These simultaneous
payments are taken into account in calculating the stated
maturity date or final distribution date of each class,
which must be retired by its stated maturity date or final
distribution date, but may be retired earlier. Planned
Amortization Class CMOs ("PAC Bonds") generally require
payments of a specified amount of principal on each payment
date. PAC Bonds are always parallel pay CMOs with the
required principal payment on such securities having the
highest priority after interest has been paid to all
classes.
REITs: REITs are trusts that invest primarily in
commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. The
value of interests in REITs may be affected by the value of
the property owned or the quality of the mortgages held by
the trust.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities ("SMBs"): SMBs are
usually structured with two classes that receive specified
proportions of the monthly interest and principal payments
from a pool of mortgage securities. One class may receive
all of the interest payments and is thus termed an interest-
only class ("IO"), while the other class may
26
<PAGE>
receive all of the principal payments and is thus termed the
principal-only class ("PO"). The value of IOs tends to
increase as rates rise and decrease as rates fall; the
opposite is true of POs. SMBs are extremely sensitive to
changes in interest rates because of the impact thereon of
prepayment of principal on the underlying mortgage
securities can experience wide swings in value in response
to changes in interest rates and associated mortgage
prepayment rates. During times when interest rates are
experiencing fluctuations, such securities can be difficult
to price on a consistent basis. The market for SMBs is not
as fully developed as other markets; SMBs, therefore, may be
illiquid.
Risk Factors: Due to the possibility of prepayments of
the underlying mortgage instruments, mortgage-backed
securities generally do not have a known maturity. In the
absence of a known maturity, market participants generally
refer to an estimated average life. An average life estimate
is a function of an assumption regarding anticipated
prepayment patterns, based upon current interest rates,
current conditions in the relevant housing markets and other
factors. The assumption is necessarily subjective, and thus
different market participants can produce different average
life estimates with regard to the same security. There can
be no assurance that estimated average life will be a
security's actual average life.
Mortgage Dollar Mortgage "dollar rolls" are transactions in which mortgage-
Rolls backed securities are sold for delivery in the current month
and the seller simultaneously contracts to repurchase
substantially similar securities on a specified future date.
Any difference between the sale price and the purchase price
is netted against the interest income foregone on the
securities sold to arrive at an implied borrowing rate.
Alternatively, the sale and purchase transactions can be
executed at the same price, with the Portfolio being paid a
fee as consideration for entering into the commitment to
purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash
settlement and initially may involve only a firm commitment
agreement by the Portfolio to buy a security. If the broker-
dealer to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes
insolvent, the Portfolio's right to repurchase the security
may be restricted. Other risks involved in entering into
mortgage dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the
security may change adversely over the term of the mortgage
dollar roll and that the security the Portfolio is required
to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the
Portfolio originally held.
To avoid any leveraging concerns, the Portfolio will
place U.S. Government or other liquid, high grade debt
securities in a segregated account with the Trust's
Custodian in an amount sufficient to cover its repurchase
obligation.
Municipal Municipal securities consist of (i) debt obligations issued
Securities by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds to be
used for various public facilities, for refunding
outstanding obligations, for general operating expenses, and
for lending such funds to other public institutions and
facilities, and (ii) certain private activity and industrial
development bonds issued by or on behalf of public
authorities to obtain funds to provide for the construction,
equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated
facilities.
27
<PAGE>
General obligation bonds are backed by the taxing power
of the issuing municipality. Revenue bonds are backed by the
revenues of a project or facility (tolls from a bridge, for
example). Certificates of participation represent an
interest in an underlying obligation or commitment, such as
an obligation issued in connection with a leasing
arrangement. The payment of principal and interest on
private activity and industrial development bonds generally
is dependent solely on the ability of a facility's user to
meet its financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of
real and personal property as security for such payment.
Municipal securities include both municipal notes and
municipal bonds. Municipal notes include general obligation
notes, tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes,
bond anticipation notes, certificates of indebtedness,
demand notes and construction loan notes and participation
interests in municipal notes. Municipal bonds include
general obligation bonds, revenue or special obligation
bonds, private activity and industrial development bonds and
participation interests in municipal bonds.
Options A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to
sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy,
the underlying security at any time during the option
period. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the
right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to
sell, the underlying security at any time during the option
period. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration
for undertaking the obligations under the option contract.
The initial purchase (sale) of an option contract is an
"opening transaction." In order to close out an option
position, a Portfolio may enter into a "closing
transaction," which is simply the sale (purchase) of an
option contract on the same security with the same exercise
price and expiration date as the option contract originally
opened. If a Portfolio is unable to effect a closing
transaction with respect to an option it has written, it
will not be able to sell the underlying security until the
option expires or the Portfolio delivers the security upon
exercise.
A Portfolio may purchase put and call options to protect
against a decline in the market value of the securities in
its portfolio or to anticipate an increase in the market
value of securities that the Portfolio may seek to purchase
in the future. A Portfolio purchasing put and call options
pays a premium therefor. If price movements in the
underlying securities are such that exercise of the options
would not be profitable for the Portfolio, loss of the
premium paid may be offset by an increase in the value of
the Portfolio's securities or by a decrease in the cost of
acquisition of securities by the Portfolio.
A Portfolio may write covered call options as a means of
increasing the yield on its portfolio and as a means of
providing limited protection against decreases in its market
value. When a Portfolio sells an option, if the underlying
securities do not increase or decrease to a price level that
would make the exercise of the option profitable to the
holder thereof, the option generally will expire without
being exercised and the Portfolio will realize as profit the
premium received for such option. When a call option written
by a Portfolio is the writer is exercised, the Portfolio
will be required to sell the underlying
28
<PAGE>
securities to the option holder at the strike price, and
will not participate in any increase in the price of such
securities above the strike price. When a put option written
by a Portfolio is exercised, the Portfolio will be required
to purchase the underlying securities at the strike price,
which may be in excess of the market value of such
securities.
A Portfolio may purchase and write options on an exchange
or over-the-counter. Over-the-counter options ("OTC
options") differ from exchange-traded options in several
respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not
with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk
of non-performance by the dealer. OTC options are available
for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of
expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for
exchange-traded options. Because OTC options are not traded
on an exchange, pricing is done normally by reference to
information from a market maker. It is the position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that OTC options are
generally illiquid.
A Portfolio may purchase and write put and call options
on foreign currencies (traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges
or over-the-counter markets) to manage its exposure to
exchange rates. Call options on foreign currency written by
a Portfolio will be "covered," which means that the
Portfolio will own an equal amount of the underlying foreign
currency. With respect to put options on foreign currency
written by a Portfolio, the Portfolio will establish a
segregated account with its Custodian consisting of cash or
liquid, high grade debt securities in an amount equal to the
amount the Portfolio would be required to pay upon exercise
of the put.
A Portfolio may purchase and write put and call options
on indices and enter into related closing transactions. Put
and call options on indices are similar to options on
securities except that options on an index give the holder
the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount
of cash if the closing level of the underlying index is
greater than (or less than, in the case of puts) the
exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal
to the difference between the closing price of the index and
the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars
multiplied by a specified number. Thus, unlike options on
individual securities, all settlements are in cash, and gain
or loss depends on price movements in the particular market
represented by the index generally, rather than the price
movements in individual securities. A Portfolio may choose
to terminate an option position by entering into a closing
transaction. The ability of a Portfolio to enter into
closing transactions depends upon the existence of a liquid
secondary market for such transactions.
All options written on indices must be covered. When a
Portfolio writes an option on an index, it will establish a
segregated account containing cash or liquid, high grade
debt securities with its Custodian in an amount at least
equal to the market value of the option and will maintain
the account while the option is open or will otherwise cover
the transaction.
29
<PAGE>
Risk Factors. Risks associated with options transactions
include: (1) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on
an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual
securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in
interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect correlation
between the movement in prices of options and the securities
underlying them; (3) there may not be a liquid secondary
market for options; and (4) while a Portfolio will receive a
premium when it writes covered call options, it may not
participate fully in a rise in the market value of the
underlying security.
Receipts Receipts are sold as zero coupon securities, which means
that they are sold at a substantial discount and redeemed at
face value at their maturity date without interim cash
payments of interest or principal. This discount is accreted
over the life of the security, and such accretion will
constitute the income earned on the security for both
accounting and tax purposes. Because of these features, such
securities may be subject to greater interest rate
volatility than interest paying Permitted Investments. See
also "Taxes."
Repurchase Agreements by which a Portfolio obtains a security and
Agreements simultaneously commits to return the security to the seller
at an agreed upon price (including principal and interest)
on an agreed upon date within a number of days from the date
of purchase. The Custodian or its agent will hold the
security as collateral for the repurchase agreement.
Collateral must be maintained at a value at least equal to
102% of the purchase price. The Portfolio bears a risk of
loss in the event the other party defaults on its
obligations and the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from
exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities
or if the Portfolio realizes a loss on the sale of the
collateral securities. An adviser will enter into repurchase
agreements on behalf of the Portfolio only with financial
institutions deemed to present minimal risk of bankruptcy
during the term of the agreement based on guidelines
established and periodically reviewed by the Trustees.
Repurchase agreements are considered loans under the 1940
Act.
Securities In order to generate additional income, a Portfolio may lend
Lending securities which it owns pursuant to agreements requiring
that the loan be continuously secured by collateral
consisting of cash or securities of the U.S. Government or
its agencies equal to at least 100% of the market value of
the loaned securities. A Portfolio continues to receive
interest on the loaned securities while simultaneously
earning interest on the investment of cash collateral.
Collateral is marked to market daily. There may be risks of
delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights
in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail
financially or become insolvent.
Securities of There are certain risks connected with investing in foreign
Foreign Issuers securities. These include risks of adverse political and
economic developments (including possible governmental
seizure or nationalization of assets), the possible
imposition of exchange controls or other governmental
restrictions, less uniformity in accounting and reporting
requirements, the possibility that there will be less
information on such securities and their issuers available
to the public, the difficulty of obtaining or enforcing
court judgments abroad, restrictions
30
<PAGE>
on foreign investments in other jurisdictions, difficulties
in effecting repatriation of capital invested abroad, and
difficulties in transaction settlements and the effect of
delay on shareholder equity. Foreign securities may be
subject to foreign taxes, and may be less marketable than
comparable U.S. securities. The value of a Portfolio's
investments denominated in foreign currencies will depend on
the relative strengths of those currencies and the U.S.
dollar, and a Portfolio may be affected favorably or
unfavorably by changes in the exchange rates or exchange
control regulations between foreign currencies and the U.S.
dollar. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also may
affect the value of dividends and interest earned, gains and
losses realized on the sale of securities and net investment
income and gains, if any, to be distributed to shareholders
by a Portfolio.
U.S. Government Obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies of the U.S.
Agency Government, including, among others, the Federal Farm Credit
Obligations Bank, the Federal Housing Administration and the Small
Business Administration, and obligations issued or
guaranteed by instrumentalities of the U.S. Government,
including, among others, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, the Federal Land Banks and the U.S. Postal
Service. Some of these securities are supported by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury (e.g., Government
National Mortgage Association securities), others are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
Treasury (e.g., Federal Farm Credit Bank securities), while
still others are supported only by the credit of the
instrumentality (e.g., Federal National Mortgage Association
securities). Guarantees of principal by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may be a guarantee
of payment at the maturity of the obligation so that in the
event of a default prior to maturity there might not be a
market and thus no means of realizing on the obligation
prior to maturity. Guarantees as to the timely payment of
principal and interest do not extend to the value or yield
of these securities nor to the value of the Portfolio's
shares.
U.S. Treasury U.S. Treasury obligations consist of bills, notes and bonds
Obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury, as well as separately traded
interest and principal component parts of such obligations
known as Separately Traded Registered Interest and Principal
Securities ("STRIPS") that are transferable through the
Federal book-entry system.
U.S. Treasury U.S. Treasury receipts are interests in separately traded
Receipts interest and principal component parts of U.S. Treasury
obligations that are issued by banks or brokerage firms and
are created by depositing U.S. Treasury obligations into a
special account at a custodian bank. The custodian holds the
interest and principal payments for the benefit of the
registered owners of the certificates of receipts. The
custodian arranges for the issuance of the certificates or
receipts evidencing ownership and maintains the register.
Receipts include "Treasury Receipts" ("TRs"), "Treasury
Investment Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs"), "Liquid Yield Option
Notes" ("LYONs") and "Certificates of Accrual on Treasury
Securities" ("CATS"). LYONS, TIGRs and CATS are interests in
private proprietary accounts, while TRs are interests in
accounts sponsored by the U.S. Treasury.

Variable and Certain obligations may carry variable or floating rates of
Floating Rate interest, and may involve a conditional or unconditional
Instruments demand feature. Such instruments bear interest at rates
which are not fixed, but which vary with changes in
specified market rates or indices. The interest rates on
these securities may be reset daily, weekly, quarterly or
some other reset period, and may have a floor or ceiling on
interest rate changes. There is a risk that the current
interest rate on such obligations may not accurately reflect
existing market interest rates. A demand instrument with a
demand notice exceeding seven days may be considered
illiquid if there is no secondary market for such security.
Warrants Warrants are instruments giving holders the right, but not
the obligation, to buy shares of a company at a given price
during a specified period.
When-Issued and When-issued or delayed delivery transactions involve the
Delayed purchase of an instrument with payment and delivery taking
Delivery place in the future. Delivery of and payment for these
Securities, securities may occur a month or more after the date of the
including TBA purchase commitment. The Portfolio will maintain with the
Mortgage-Backed Custodian a separate account with liquid, high grade debt
Securities securities or cash in an amount at least equal to these
commitments. The interest rate realized on these securities
is fixed as of the purchase date, and no interest accrues to
the Portfolio before settlement. These securities are
subject to market fluctuation due to changes in market
interest rates, and it is possible that the market value at
the time of settlement could be higher or lower than the
purchase price if the general level of interest rates has
changed. Although a Portfolio generally purchases securities
on a when-issued or forward commitment basis with the
intention of actually acquiring such securities, a Portfolio
may dispose of a when-issued security or forward commitment
prior to settlement if the advisers deem it appropriate to
do so.
One form of when-issued or delayed-delivery security that
a Portfolio may purchase is a "to be announced" ("TBA")
mortgage-backed security. A TBA mortgage-backed security
transaction arises when a mortgage-backed security, such as
a GNMA pass-through security, is purchased or sold with
specific pools that will constitute that GNMA pass-through
security to be announced on a future settlement date.
Yankee Yankee obligations ("Yankees") are U.S. dollar-denominated
Obligations instruments of foreign issuers who either register with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or issue securities under
Rule 144A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as
amended. These consist of debt securities (including
preferred or preference stock of non-governmental issuers),
certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers'
acceptances issued by foreign banks, and debt obligations of
foreign governments or their subdivisions, agencies and
instrumentalities, international agencies and supranational
entities. Some securities issued by foreign governments or
their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities may not
be backed by the full faith and credit of the foreign
government. Yankee obligations as obligations of foreign
issuers, are subject to the same types of risks discussed in
"Securities of Foreign Issuers," above.
32
<PAGE>
The yankee obligations selected for the Portfolio will
adhere to the same quality standards as those utilized for
the selection of domestic debt obligations.
Zero Coupon, Zero coupon securities are securities that are sold at a
Pay-In-Kind and discount to par value and securities on which interest
Deferred payments are not made during the life of the security. Upon
Payment maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the par value of
Securities the security. While interest payments are not made on such
securities, holders of such securities are deemed to have
received "phantom income" annually. Because a Portfolio will
distribute its "phantom income" to shareholders, to the
extent that shareholders elect to receive dividends in cash
rather than reinvesting such dividends in additional shares,
a Portfolio will have fewer assets with which to purchase
income producing securities. Alternatively, shareholders may
have to redeem shares to pay tax on this "phantom income."
In either case, the Portfolio may have to dispose of its
portfolio securities under disadvantageous circumstances to
generate cash, or may have to leverage itself by borrowing
cash to satisfy distribution requirements. A Portfolio
accrues income with respect to the securities prior to the
receipt of cash payments. Pay-in-kind securities are
securities that have interest payable by delivery of
additional securities. Deferred payment securities are
securities that remain zero coupon securities until a
predetermined date, at which time the stated coupon rate
becomes effective and interest becomes payable at regular
intervals. In the event of adverse market conditions, zero
coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment securities may be
subject to greater fluctuations in value and may be less
liquid than comparably rated securities paying cash interest
at regular interest payment periods.

factors can be found in the Statement of Additional

APPENDIX--DESCRIPTION OF CORPORATE BOND RATINGS ________________________________
MOODY'S RATINGS DEFINITIONS
LONG TERM
Aaa Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt edged". Interest payments are protected by a large or by an
exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various
protective elements are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable
margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to
impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
Aa Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high-
grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of
protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other
elements present which make the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than
the Aaa securities.
A Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors giving security
to principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be
present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the
future.
Baa Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations (i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments
and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain
protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable
over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment
characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.
Ba Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their
future cannot be considered as well-assured. Often the protection of
interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well
safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of
position characterizes bonds in this class.
B Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance
of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.
Caa Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in
default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to
principal or interest.
Ca Bonds which are rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a
high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked
shortcomings.
C Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds, and issues so
rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining
any real investment standing.
A-1
<PAGE>
Moody's bond ratings, where specified, are applied to senior bank obligations
and insurance company senior policyholder and claims obligations with an
original maturity in excess of one year. Obligations relying upon support
mechanisms such as letters-of-credit and bonds of indemnity are excluded unless
explicitly rated.
Obligations of a branch of a bank are considered to be domiciled in the country
in which the branch is located. Unless noted as an exception, Moody's rating on
a bank's ability to repay senior obligations extends only to branches located
in countries which carry a Moody's sovereign rating. Such branch obligations
are rated at the lower of the bank's rating or Moody's sovereign rating for the
bank deposits for the country in which the branch is located.
When the currency in which an obligation is denominated is not the same as the
currency of the country in which the obligation is domiciled, Moody's ratings
do not incorporate an opinion as to whether payment of the obligation will be
affected by the actions of the government controlling the currency of
denomination. In addition, risk associated with bilateral conflicts between an
investor's home country and either the issuer's home country or the country
where an issuer branch is located are not incorporated into Moody's ratings.
Moody's makes no representation that rated bank obligations or insurance
company obligations are exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act
of 1933 or issued in conformity with any other applicable law or regulation.
Nor does Moody's represent that any specific bank or insurance company
obligation is legally enforceable or is a valid senior obligation of a rated
issuer.
Moody's ratings are opinions, not recommendations to buy or sell, and their
accuracy is not guaranteed. A rating should be weighed solely as one factor in
an investment decision and you should make your own study and evaluation of any
issuer whose securities or debt obligations you consider buying or selling.
NOTE: Moody's applies numerical modifiers, 1, 2 and 3 in each generic rating
classification from Aa through B in its corporate bond rating system. The
modifier 1 indicates that the security ranks in the higher end of its generic
rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier
3 indicates that the issue ranks in the lower end of its generic rating
category.
STANDARD & POOR'S RATINGS DEFINITIONS
A Standard & Poor's corporate or municipal debt rating is a current assessment
of creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific obligation. This
assessment may take into consideration obligors such as guarantors, insurers,
or lessees.
The debt rating is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a security,
as it does not comment on market price or suitability for a particular
investor.
The ratings are based, in varying degrees, on the following considerations:
(1) Likelihood of default. The rating assesses the obligor's capacity and
willingness as to timely payment of interest and repayment of principal in
accordance with the terms of the obligation.
A-2
<PAGE>
(2) The obligation's nature and provisions.
(3) Protection afforded to, and relative position of, the obligation in the
event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under bankruptcy
laws and other laws affecting creditor's rights.
Likelihood of default is indicated by an issuer's senior debt rating. If senior
debt is not rated, an implied senior debt rating is determined. Subordinated
debt usually is rated lower than senior debt to better reflect relative
position of the obligation in bankruptcy. Unsecured debt, where significant
secured debt exists, is treated similarly to subordinated debt.
LONG-TERM
Investment Grade
AAA Debt rated "AAA" has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA Debt rated "AA" has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest rated debt only in small degree.
A Debt rated "A" has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal,
although it is somewhat more susceptible to adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated categories.
BBB Debt rated "BBB" is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher
rated categories.
Speculative Grade
Debt rated "BB", "B", "CCC", "CC", and "C" is regarded as having predominantly
speculative characteristics with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal. "BB" indicates the least degree of speculation and "C" the highest
degree of speculation. While such debt will likely have some quality and
protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or
major risk exposure to adverse conditions.
BB Debt rated "BB" has less near-term vulnerability to default than other
speculative grade debt. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or
exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could
lead to inadequate capacity to meet timely interest and principal payments.
The "BB" rating category is also used for debt subordinated to senior debt
that is assigned an actual or implied "BBB-" rating.
B Debt rate "B" has greater vulnerability to default but presently has the
capacity to meet interest payments and principal repayments. Adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions would likely impair capacity or
willingness to pay interest and repay principal. The "B" rating category
also is used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an
actual or implied "BB" or "BB-" rating.
CCC Debt rated "CCC" has a current identifiable vulnerability to default, and
is dependent on favorable business, financial and economic conditions to
meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal. In the event
of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, it is not likely
to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
A-3
<PAGE>
The "CCC" rating category also is used for debt subordinated to senior debt
that is assigned an actual or implied "B" or "B-" rating.
CC The rating "CC" is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied "CCC" rating.
C The rating "C" is typically applied to debt subordinated to senior debt
which is assigned an actual or implied "CCC-" debt rating. The "C" rating
may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed,
but debt service payment are continued.
CI Debt rated "CI" is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being
paid.
D Debt is rated "D" when the issue is in payment default, or the obligor has
filed for bankruptcy. The "D" rating is used when interest or principal
payments are not made on the date due, even if the applicable grace period
has not expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will be made during
such grace period.
Plus (+) or minus (-): The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the
addition of a plus or minus sign to show relative standing within the major
rating categories.
c The letter "c" indicates that the holder's option to tender the security for
purchase may be canceled under certain prestated conditions enumerated in
the tender option documents.
P The letter "p" indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional
rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt
being rated and indicates that payment of the debt service requirements is
largely or entirely dependent upon the successful timely completion of the
project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to
completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of, or the
risk of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should
exercise his own judgement with respect to such likelihood and risk.
L The letter "L" indicates that the rating pertains to the principal amount of
those bonds to the extent that the underlying deposit collateral is
federally insured, and interest is adequately collateralized. In the case of
certificates of deposit, the letter "L" indicates that the deposit, combined
with other deposits being held in the same right and capacity, will be
honored for principal and pre-default interest up to federal insurance
limits within 30 days after closing of the insured institution or, in the
event that the deposit is assumed by a successor insured institution, upon
maturity.
- -------
* Continuance of the rating is contingent upon S&P's receipt of an executed
copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming investments
and cash flows.
N.R. Not rated.
Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are
rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The ratings
measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into account
currency exchange and related uncertainties.
If an issuer's actual or implied senior debt rating is "AAA", its subordinated
or junior debt is rated "AAA" or "AA+". If an issuer's actual or implied senior
debt rating is lower than "AAA" but higher than "BB+", its junior debt is
typically rated one
A-4
<PAGE>
designation lower than the senior debt ratings. For example, if the senior debt
rating is "A", subordinated debt normally would be rated "A-". If an issuer's
actual or implied senior debt rating is "BB+" or lower, its subordinated debt
is typically rated two designations lower than the senior debt rating.
NOTE: The term "investment grade" was originally used by various regulatory
bodies to connote obligations eligible for investment by institutions such as
banks, insurance companies, and savings and loan associations. Over time, this
term gained widespread usage throughout the investment community. Issues rated
in the four highest categories, "AAA", "AA", "A", "BBB", generally are
recognized as being investment grade. Debt "BB" or below generally is referred
to as speculative grade. The term "junk bond" is merely a more irreverent
expression for this category of more risky debt. Neither term indicates which
securities S&P deems worthy of investment, as an investor with a particular
risk preference may appropriately invest in securities that are not investment
grade.
FITCH INVESTOR SERVICES INC. RATINGS DEFINITIONS
LONG-TERM
AAA Bonds rated AAA are judged to be strictly high grade, broadly marketable,
suitable for investment by trustees and fiduciary institutions liable to
slight market fluctuation other than through changes in the money rate.
The prime feature of an AAA bond is a showing of earnings several times or
many times greater than interest requirements, with such stability of
applicable earnings that safety is beyond reasonable question whatever
changes occur in conditions.
AA Bonds rated AA are judged to be of safety virtually beyond question and
are readily salable, whose merits are not unlike those of the AAA class,
but whose margin of safety is less strikingly broad. The issue may be the
obligation of a small company, strongly secured but influenced as to
rating by the lesser financial power of the enterprise and more local type
market.
A Bonds rated A are considered to be investment grade and of high credit
quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is
considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in
economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.
BBB Bonds rated BBB are considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory
credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal
is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these
bonds, and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the
ratings of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for
bonds with higher ratings.
BB Bonds rated BB are considered speculative. The obligor's ability to pay
interest and repay principal may be affected over time by adverse economic
changes. However, business and financial alternatives can be identified
which could assist the obligor in satisfying its debt service
requirements.
B Bonds rated B are considered highly speculative. While bonds in this class
are currently meeting debt service requirements, the probability of
continued timely payment of principal and interest reflects the obligor's
limited margin of safety and the need for reasonable business and economic
activity throughout the life of the issue.
A-5
<PAGE>
CCC Bonds have certain identifiable characteristics which, if not remedied,
may lead to default. The ability to meet obligations requires an
advantageous business and economic environment.
CC Bonds are minimally protected. Default in payment of interest and/or
principal seems probable over time.
C Bonds are in imminent default in payment of interest or principal.
DDD Bonds are in default on interest and/or principal payments. Such bonds are
DD extremely speculative and should be valued on the basis of their ultimate
D recovery value in liquidation or reorganization of the obligor. "DDD"
represents the lowest potential for recovery on these bonds, and "D"
represents the lowest potential for recovery.
PLUS (+) MINUS (-) Plus and minus signs are used with a rating symbol to
indicate the relative position of a credit within the rating category. Plus and
minus signs, however, are not used in the "AAA', "DDD', "DD', or "D'
categories.
DUFF AND PHELPS, INC. RATINGS DEFINITIONS
AAA Highest credit quality. The risk factors are negligible, being only
slightly more than for risk-free U.S. Treasury debt.
AA+ High credit quality. Protection factors are strong. Risk is modest but may
AA- vary slightly from time to time because of economic conditions.
A+ Protection factors are average but adequate. However, risk factors are
A- more variable and greater in periods of economic stress.
BBB+ Below average protection factors but still considered sufficient for
BBB- prudent investment. Considerable variability in risk during economic
cycles.
BB+ Below investment grade but deemed likely to meet obligations when due.
BB Present or prospective financial protection factors fluctuate according to
BB- industry conditions or company fortunes. Overall quality may move up or
down frequently within this category.
B+ Below investment grade and possessing risk that obligations will not be
B met when due. Financial protection factors will fluctuate widely according
B- to economic cycles, industry conditions and/or company fortunes. Potential
exists for frequent changes in the rating within this category or into a
higher or lower rating grade.
CCC Well below investment grade securities. Considerable uncertainty exists as
to timely payment of principal, interest or preferred dividends.
Protection factors are narrow and risk can be substantial with unfavorable
economic/industry conditions, and/or with unfavorable company
developments.
DD Defaulted debt obligations. Issuer failed to meet scheduled principal
and/or interest payments.
DP Preferred stock with dividend arrearages.
A-6
<PAGE>
IBCA LIMITED RATINGS DEFINITIONS
AAA Obligations rated AAA have the lowest expectation of investment risk.
Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is substantial,
such that adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions
are unlikely to increase investment risk significantly.
AA Obligations for which there is a very low expectation of investment risk
are rated AA. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is
substantial. Adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions
may increase investment risk albeit not very significantly.
A Bonds rated A are obligations for which there is a low expectation of
investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest
is strong, although adverse changes in business, economic or financial
conditions may lead to increased investment risk.
BBB Bonds rated BBB are obligations for which there is currently a low
expectation of investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal
and interest is adequate, although adverse changes in business, economic
or financial conditions are more likely to lead to increased investment
risk than for obligations in other categories.
BB Bonds rated BB are obligations for which there is a possibility of
investment risk developing. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and
interest exists, but is susceptible over time to adverse changes in
business, economic or financial conditions. Bonds rated B are obligations
for which investment risk exists. Timely repayment of principal and
interest is not sufficiently protected against adverse changes in
business, economic or financial conditions.
B Obligations for which investment risk exists. Timely repayment of
principal and interest is not sufficiently protected against adverse
changes in business, economic or financial conditions.
CCC Obligations for which there is a current perceived possibility of default.
Timely repayment of principal and interest is dependent on favorable
business, economic or financial conditions.
CC Obligations which are highly speculative or which have a high risk of
default.
C Obligations which are currently in default.
NOTES: "+" or "-" may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within
major rating categories.
Ratings of BB and below are assigned where it
is considered that speculative characteristics are present.
THOMSON BANKWATCH RATINGS DEFINITIONS
AAA Bonds rated AAA indicate that the ability to repay principal and interest
on a timely basis is very high.
AA Bonds rated AA indicate a superior ability to repay principal and interest
on a timely basis, with limited incremental risk compared to issues rated
in the highest category.
A-7
<PAGE>
A Bonds rated A indicate the ability to repay principal and interest is
strong. Issues rated A could be more vulnerable to adverse developments
(both internal and external) than obligations with higher ratings.
BBB Bonds rated BBB indicate an acceptable capacity to repay principal and
interest. Issues rated BBB are, however, more vulnerable to adverse
developments (both internal and external) than obligations with higher
ratings.
BB While not investment grade, the BB rating suggests that the likelihood of
default is considerably less than for lower-rated issues. However, there
are significant uncertainties that could affect the ability to adequately
service debt obligations.
B Issues rated B show a higher degree of uncertainty and therefore greater
likelihood of default than higher-rated issues. Adverse developments could
well negatively affect the payment of interest and principal on a timely
basis.
CCC Issues rated "CCC" clearly have a high likelihood of default, with little
capacity to address further adverse changes in financial circumstances.
CC "CC" is applied to issues that are subordinate to other obligations rated
"CCC" and are afforded less protection in the event of bankruptcy or
reorganization.
D Default
Ratings in the Long-Term Debt categories may include a plus (+) or minus (-)
designation, which indicates where within the respective category the issue is
placed.

(1) SEI Financial Management Corporation ("SFM") and certain of the sub-
advisers (collectively, "advisers") have agreed to waive, on a voluntary
basis, a portion of their fees, and the management/advisory fees shown
reflect these voluntary waivers. Such fee waivers are voluntary and may be
terminated at any time in the sole discretion of each entity that has
agreed to waive a portion of its fee. Absent such fee waivers,
management/advisory fees would be: Large Cap Growth Portfolio, .75%; Small
Cap Value Portfolio, 1.00%; Small Cap Growth Portfolio, 1.00%; Mid-Cap
Portfolio, .75%; Capital Appreciation Portfolio, .75%; Equity Income
Portfolio, .75%; and Balanced Portfolio, .75%. Management/Advisory fees and
Total Operating Expenses have been restated to reflect current expenses.
(2) The 12b-1 fee shown refers to each Portfolio's current 12b-1 budget for
reimbursement of expenses. SFM reserves the right to terminate its
reimbursement at any time in its sole discretion. The maximum 12b-1 fees
payable by Class A shares of each Portfolio is .30%.
(3) Absent the voluntary fee waivers described above, total operating expenses

THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The purpose of the expense table and example is to assist the investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that may be directly or indirectly
borne by investors in Class A shares of the Portfolios. The information set
forth in the foregoing table and example relates only to each Portfolio's Class
A shares. Certain Portfolios also offer Class D shares, which are subject to
the same expenses except that Class D shares bear different distribution costs
and additional transfer agent costs and sales loads. A person who purchases
shares through a financial institution may be charged separate fees by that
institution. Additional information may be found under "The Manager and
Shareholder Servicing Agent," "The Advisers," "The Sub-Advisers" and
"Distribution."
Long-term shareholders may eventually pay more than the economic equivalent of
the maximum front-end sales charges otherwise permitted by the Rules of Fair
Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES _____________________________________________
LARGE CAP VALUE The investment objective of the Large Cap Value Portfolio is
PORTFOLIO long-term growth of capital and income. There can be no
assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its investment
objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in a diversified portfolio
of high quality, income producing common stocks of large
companies (i.e., companies with market capitalizations of
more than $1 billion) which, in the advisers' opinion, are
undervalued in the marketplace at the time of purchase. In
general, the advisers characterize high quality securities
as those that have above-average reinvestment rates. The
advisers also consider other factors, such as earnings and
dividend growth prospects, as well as industry outlook and
market share. Equity securities include common stock,
preferred stock, warrants or rights to subscribe to common
stock and, in general, any security that is convertible into
or exchangeable for common stock. Any remaining assets may
be invested in investment grade fixed income securities.
Debt securities rated BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation
("S&P") or Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's") lack outstanding investment characteristics, and
have speculative characteristics as well.
In order to meet liquidity needs, or for temporary
defensive purposes, the Portfolio may invest up to 100% of
its assets in cash and money market securities. Money market
securities must be rated in one of the top two rating
categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization ("NRSRO"), or if not rated, determined to be of
comparable quality by the Portfolio's advisers. To the
extent the Portfolio is engaged in temporary defensive
investments, the Portfolio will not be pursuing its
investment objective.
The Portfolio's investment adviser is SEI Financial
Management Corporation and its investment sub-advisers are
LSV Asset Management, Mellon Equity Associates and Merus
Capital Management.
LARGE CAP The investment objective of the Large Cap Growth Portfolio

securities of smaller companies that the Portfolio's
advisers believe are appropriate in light of the Portfolio's
objective. Equity securities include common stock, preferred
stock, warrants or rights to subscribe to common stock and,
in general, any security that is convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock. Fixed income securities must
be rated investment grade or better, i.e., rated at least

advisers' opinion, have prices that appear low relative to
certain fundamental characteristics such as earnings, book
value, or return on equity. Any remaining assets may be
invested in fixed income securities or equity securities of
larger, more established companies that the Portfolio's
advisers believe are appropriate in light of the Portfolio's
objective. Equity securities include common stock, preferred
stock, warrants and rights to subscribe to common stock and,
in general, any security that is convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock. Fixed income securities must
be rated investment grade or better, i.e., rated at least BBB
by S&P or Baa by Moody's. Debt securities rated BBB or Baa
lack outstanding investment characteristics, and have
speculative characteristics as well.

their industry, achieve and maintain high and consistent
profitability or produce increases in earnings. The advisers
also seek companies with strong company management and
superior fundamental strength. Small capitalization companies
have the potential to show earnings growth over time that is
well above the growth rate of the overall economy. Any
remaining assets may be invested in the equity securities of
more established companies that the advisers believe may
offer strong capital appreciation potential due to their
relative market position, anticipated earnings growth,
changes in management or other similar opportunities. Equity
securities include common stock, preferred stock, warrants
and rights to subscribe to common stock and, in general, any
security that is convertible into or exchangeable for common
stock.
In order to meet liquidity needs, or for temporary
defensive purposes, the Portfolio may invest all or a portion
of its assets in common stocks of larger, more established
companies, fixed income securities, cash or money market
securities. Fixed income securities will only be purchased if
they are rated investment grade or better. Investment grade
bonds include securities rated at least BBB by S&P or Baa by
Moody's. Debt securities rated BBB or Baa lack outstanding
investment characteristics, and have speculative
characteristics as well. Money market securities will only be
purchased if they have been given one of the two top ratings
by an NRSRO, or if not rated, determined to be of comparable
quality by the Portfolio's advisers. To the extent the
Portfolio is engaged in temporary defensive investments, the
Portfolio will not be pursuing its investment objective.
The Portfolio's annual turnover rate may exceed 100%.
Such a turnover rate may result in higher transaction costs
and may result in additional taxes for shareholders. See
"Taxes."

Management Corporation and its investment sub-advisers are
Nicholas-Applegate Capital Management, Inc., Pilgrim Baxter
& Associates, Ltd., Apodaca-Johnston Capital Management,
Inc. and Wall Street Associates.
MID-CAP The investment objective of the Mid-Cap Portfolio (formerly,
PORTFOLIO the Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio) is long-term capital
appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Portfolio
will achieve its investment objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in equity securities of
medium-sized companies (i.e., companies with market
capitalizations of $500 million to $5 billion). Such
companies are typically well established but have not reached
full maturity, and may offer significant growth potential.
The advisers will seek to identify companies which, in their
opinion, will experience accelerating earnings, increased
institutional ownership or strong price appreciation relative
to their industries and broad market averages.
All of the equity securities in which the Portfolio
invests are traded on registered exchanges or on the over-
the-counter market in the United States. Equity securities
include common stock, preferred stock, warrants and rights
to subscribe to common stock and, in general, any security
that is convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.
Any remaining assets may be invested in equity securities
of larger, more established companies, fixed income
securities or money market securities. Fixed income
securities will only be purchased if they are rated
investment grade or better at time of purchase. Investment
grade bonds include securities rated at least BBB by S&P or
Baa by Moody's. Debt securities rated BBB or Baa lack
outstanding investment characteristics, and have speculative
characteristics as well. Money market securities,
certificates of deposit, banker's acceptances and commercial
paper will only be purchased if they have been given one of
the two top ratings by an NRSRO, or if not rated, determined
to be of comparable quality by the advisers. For temporary
defensive purposes, when the advisers determine that market
conditions warrant, the Portfolio may invest all or a portion
of its assets in equity securities of larger companies, fixed
income securities, cash or money market instruments. To the
extent the Portfolio is engaged in temporary defensive
investments, the Portfolio will not be pursuing its
investment objective.
The Portfolio's annual turnover rate may exceed 100%. Such
a turnover rate may result in higher transaction costs and
may result in additional taxes for shareholders. See "Taxes."

CAPITAL The investment objective of the Capital Appreciation
APPRECIATION Portfolio is capital appreciation. There can be no assurance
PORTFOLIO that the Portfolio will achieve its investment objective.
Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the
Portfolio's assets will be invested in a diversified
portfolio of common stocks (and securities convertible into
8
<PAGE>
common stock) which, in the advisers' opinion, are
undervalued in the marketplace at the time of purchase.
Dividend income is an incidental consideration compared to
growth of capital. In selecting securities for the Portfolio,
the advisers will evaluate factors they believe are likely to
affect long-term capital appreciation such as the issuer's
background, industry position, historical returns on equity
and experience and qualifications of the management team. The
advisers will rotate the Portfolio holdings between various
market sectors based on economic analysis of the overall
business cycle.
Any remaining assets may be invested in investment grade
fixed income securities and other types of equity securities.
Debt securities rated BBB or Baa lack outstanding investment
characteristics, and have speculative characteristics as
well. Equity securities include common stock, preferred
stock, warrants and rights to subscribe to common stock and,
in general, any security that is convertible into or
exchangeable for common stock.
In order to meet liquidity needs, or for temporary
defensive purposes, the Portfolio may invest up to 100% of
its assets in cash and money market securities. Money market
securities must be rated in one of the top two rating
categories by an NRSRO, or if not rated, determined to be of
comparable quality by the Portfolio's advisers. To the extent
the Portfolio is engaged in temporary defensive investments,
the Portfolio will not be pursuing its investment objective.
The Portfolio's annual turnover rate may exceed 100%. Such
a turnover rate may result in higher transaction costs and
may result in additional taxes for shareholders. See "Taxes."

Management Corporation and its investment sub-adviser is STI

EQUITY INCOME The investment objective of the Equity Income Portfolio is
PORTFOLIO to provide current income and, as a secondary objective,
moderate capital appreciation. There can be no assurance
that the Portfolio will achieve its investment objectives.
Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the
Portfolio's assets will be invested in a diversified
portfolio of common stocks. The investment approach employed
by the advisers emphasizes income-producing common stocks
which, in general, have above-average dividend yields
relative to the stock market as measured by the Standard and
Poor's 500 Index.
Any remaining assets may be invested in investment grade
fixed income securities. Debt securities rated BBB or Baa
lack outstanding investment characteristics, and have
speculative characteristics as well. Equity securities
include common stock, preferred stock, warrants and rights to
subscribe to common stock and, in general, any security that
is convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.
In order to meet liquidity needs, or for temporary
defensive purposes, the Portfolio may invest up to 100% of
its assets in cash and money market securities. Money market
securities must be rated in one of the top two rating
categories by an NRSRO, or if not rated, determined to be of
comparable quality by the Portfolio's advisers. To the extent
9

the Portfolio is engaged in temporary defensive investments,
the Portfolio will not be pursuing its investment objective.
The Portfolio's investment adviser is SEI Financial
Management Corporation and its investment sub-adviser is

BALANCED The investment objective of the Balanced Portfolio is total
PORTFOLIO return consistent with the preservation of capital. There
can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its
investment objective.
The Portfolio invests in a combination of undervalued
common stocks and fixed income securities. The Portfolio
seeks strong total return in all market conditions, with a
special emphasis on minimizing interim declines during
falling equity markets. The Portfolio primarily invests in
large capitalization equity securities, intermediate-
maturity fixed income securities and money market
instruments.
The average maturity of the fixed income securities in the
Portfolio will, under normal circumstances, be approximately
five years, although this will vary with changing market
conditions.
Any remaining assets may be invested in investment grade
fixed income securities. Fixed income securities rated BBB
or Baa lack outstanding investment characteristics, and have
speculative characteristics as well. Equity securities
include common stock, preferred stock, warrants and rights
to subscribe to common stock and, in general, any security
that is convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.
In order to meet liquidity needs, or for temporary
defensive purposes, the Portfolio may invest up to 100% of

For additional information regarding the Portfolios'
permitted investments, see "Risk Factors" and "Description

Prospectus and "Description of Permitted Investments" in the
Statement of Additional Information. For a description of
the above ratings, see "Description of Ratings" in the
Statement of Additional Information.
RISK FACTORS____________________________________________________________________
Equity Investments in equity securities in general are subject to
Securities market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over
time. The value of convertible equity securities is also
affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of
the issuer and any call provisions. Fluctuations in the
value of equity securities in which a Portfolio invests will
cause the net asset value of the Portfolio to fluctuate.
Investments in small capitalization companies involve
greater risk than is customarily associated with larger,
more established companies due to the greater business risks
of small size, limited markets and financial resources,
narrow product lines and the frequent lack of depth of
management. The securities of small companies are often
traded over-the-counter and may not be traded in volumes
typical on a national securities exchange. Consequently, the
securities of smaller companies may have limited market
stability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
market movements than securities of larger, more established
growth companies or the market averages in general.
Fixed Income The market value of a Portfolio's fixed income investments
Securities will change in response to interest rate changes and other
factors. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values
11
<PAGE>
of outstanding fixed income securities generally rise.
Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the
values of such securities generally decline. Securities with
longer maturities are subject to greater fluctuations in
value than securities with shorter maturities. Changes by an
NRSRO in the rating of any fixed income security and in the
ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and
principal also affect the value of these investments. Changes
in the value of a Portfolio's securities will not affect cash
income derived from these securities but will affect the
Portfolio's net asset value.
Securities rated BBB or Baa by an NRSRO (investment grade
bonds) are deemed by these rating services to have
speculative characteristics.
Securities held by a Portfolio that are guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities guarantee
only the payment of principal and interest on the guaranteed
securities, and do not guarantee the securities' yield or
value or the yield or value of a Portfolio's shares.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS _________________________________________________________
The investment objective and investment limitations are
fundamental policies of the Portfolios. Fundamental policies
cannot be changed with respect to the Trust or a Portfolio
without the consent of the holders of a majority of the
Trust's or that Portfolio's outstanding shares.
No Portfolio may:
1. With respect to 75% of its assets, (i) purchase the
securities of any issuer (except securities issued or
guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of
its total assets would be invested in the securities of
such issuer; or (ii) acquire more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer.
2. Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25%
of the total assets of the Portfolio to be invested in
the securities of one or more issuers conducting their
principal business activities in the same industry,
provided that this limitation does not apply to
investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the
United States Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.
The foregoing percentage limitations will apply at the time
of the purchase of a security. Additional fundamental and
non-fundamental investment limitations are set forth in the
Trust's Statement of Additional Information.

THE MANAGER AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT ____________________________________
SEI Financial Management Corporation ("SFM" or the
"Adviser") provides the Trust with overall management
services, regulatory reporting, all necessary office space,
equipment, personnel and facilities, and acts as dividend
disbursing agent and shareholder servicing agent. In
addition, SFM also serves as transfer agent (the "Transfer
Agent") to the Class A shares of the Trust.
For its management services, SFM is entitled to a fee
which is calculated daily and paid monthly at an annual rate
of .35% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio.
SFM may waive all or a portion of its fee in order to limit
the operating expenses of a Portfolio. Any such waivers are
voluntary and may be terminated at any time in SFM's sole
discretion.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the
Portfolios paid SFM the following management fees (based on
each Portfolio's average daily net assets after fee
waivers): Large Cap Value Portfolio, .32%; Large Cap Growth,
.35%; Small Cap Value, .34%; Small Cap Growth Portfolio,
.44%; Capital Appreciation Portfolio, .43%; Equity Income
Portfolio, .41%; Balanced Portfolio, .31%; and Mid-Cap
Portfolio, .35%.
THE ADVISER_____________________________________________________________________
SEI FINANCIAL SFM serves as investment adviser to each Portfolio. SFM is a
MANAGEMENT wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Corporation ("SEI"), a
CORPORATION financial services company located in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
The principal business address of SFM is 680 East Swedesford
Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658. SEI was founded in
1968 and is a leading provider of investment solutions to
banks, institutional investors, investment advisers, and
insurance companies. Affiliates of SFM have provided
consulting advice to institutional investors for more than
20 years, including advice regarding selection and
evaluation of investment advisers. SFM currently serves as
manager or administrator to more than 26 investment
companies, including more than 220 portfolios, which
investment companies have more than $51 billion in assets as
of September 30, 1995.
The Adviser has general oversight responsibility for the
investment advisory services provided to the Portfolios,
including formulating the Portfolio's investment policies
and analyzing economic trends affecting the Portfolio. In
addition, SFM, where it is the Adviser to a Portfolio, is
responsible for (i) managing the allocation of assets among
the Portfolio's sub-advisers, (ii) directing and evaluating
the investment services provided by the sub-advisers,
including their adherence to the Portfolio's investment
objective and policies and the Portfolio's investment
performance, and (iii) managing the cash portion of the
Portfolio's assets. In accordance with each Portfolio's
investment objective and policies, and under the supervision
of the Adviser and the Trust's Board of Trustees, each sub-
adviser is responsible for the day-to-day investment
management of all or a discrete portion of the
13
<PAGE>
assets of a Portfolio. The Advisers and sub-advisers are
authorized to make investment decisions for the Portfolios
and place orders on behalf of the Portfolios to effect the
investment decisions made.
In addition, SFM monitors the compliance of each sub-
adviser with regulatory and tax regulations, such as
portfolio concentration and diversification. For the most
part compliance with these requirements by each sub-adviser
with respect to its portion of a Portfolio will assure
compliance by the Portfolio as a whole. In addition, SFM
monitors positions taken by each sub-adviser and will notify
sub-advisers of any developing situations to help ensure
that investments do not run afoul of the short-short test or
the wash sale rules. To the extent that having multiple sub-
advisers responsible for investing separate portions of a
Portfolio's assets creates the need for coordination among
the sub-advisers, there is an increased risk that the
Portfolio will not comply with these regulatory and tax
requirements.
For these advisory services, SFM is entitled to a fee,
which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual
rate of.35% of the Large Cap Value Portfolio's average daily
net assets, at an annual rate of .40% of the Large Cap
Growth, Mid-Cap, Capital Appreciation, Equity Income and
Balanced Portfolios' average daily net assets and at an
annual rate of .65% of Small Cap Value and Small Cap Growth
Portfolios' average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, SFM
received an advisory fee of .35% of the Large Cap Value and
Large Cap Growth Portfolios' average daily net assets, .40%
of the Mid-Cap, Capital Appreciation, Equity Income and
Balanced Portfolios' average daily net assets and .65% of
the Small Cap Value and Small Cap Growth Portfolios' average
daily net assets.
It is possible that different sub-advisers for the same
Portfolio could take opposite actions within a short period
of time with respect to a particular security. For example,
one sub-adviser could buy a security for the Portfolio and
shortly thereafter another sub-adviser could sell the same
security from the portion of the Portfolio allocated to it.
If in these circumstances the securities could be
transferred from one sub-adviser's portion of the Portfolio
to another, the Portfolio could avoid transaction costs and
could avoid creating possible wash sales and short-short
gains under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"). Such transfers are not practicable but the
sub-advisers and SFM do not believe that there will be
material adverse effects on a Portfolio as a result. First,
it does not appear likely that there will be substantial
overlap in the securities acquired for a Portfolio by the
various sub-advisers. Moreover, the sub-advisers would
probably only rarely engage in the types of offsetting
transactions described above, especially within a short time
period. Therefore, it is a matter of speculation whether
offsetting transactions would result in any significant
increases in transaction costs or have significant tax
consequences. With respect to the latter, SFM and the sub-
advisers have established procedures with respect to the
short-short test which are designed to prevent
14
<PAGE>
realization of short-short gains in excess of Code limits.
It is true that wash sales could occur in spite of the
efforts of SFM, but the Board of Trustees believes that the
benefits of using multiple sub-advisers outweighs the
consequences of any wash sales.
SFM is currently seeking an exemptive order from the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that would
permit SFM, with the approval of the Trust's Board of
Trustees, to retain sub-advisers for a Portfolio without
submitting the sub-advisory agreement to a vote of the
Portfolio's shareholders. If granted, the exemptive relief
will permit the non-disclosure of amounts payable by SFM
under such sub-advisory agreements. The Trust will notify
shareholders in the event of any change in the identity of
the sub-adviser for a Portfolio. Until or unless this
exemptive order is granted, if one of the sub-advisers is
terminated or departs from a Portfolio with multiple sub-
advisers, the Portfolio will handle such termination or
departure in one of two ways. First, the Portfolio may
propose that a new sub-adviser be appointed to manage that
portion of the Portfolio's assets managed by the departing
sub-adviser. In this case, the Portfolio would be required
to submit to the vote of the Portfolio's shareholders the
approval of a investment sub-advisory contract with the new
sub-adviser. In the alternative, the Portfolio may decide to
allocate the departing sub-adviser's assets among the
remaining sub-advisers. This allocation would not require
new investment sub-advisory contracts with the remaining
sub-advisers, and consequently no shareholder approval would
be necessary.

DISTRIBUTION ___________________________________________________________________
SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI, serves as each Portfolio's
distributor pursuant to a distribution agreement (the
"Distribution Agreement") with the Trust. Each Class of the
Trust has adopted a distribution plan (the "Class A Plan" or
the "Class D Plan," and collectively, the "Plans") pursuant
to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act").
The Class A Plan provides for reimbursement for expenses
incurred by the Distributor, in an amount not to exceed .30%
of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, on an
annualized basis, provided those expenses are permissible as
to both type and amount under a budget adopted by the Board
of Trustees, including those who are not interested persons
and have no financial interest in the Plan or any related
agreement ("Qualified Trustees"). Currently, the budget
(shown here as a percentage of average daily net assets) for
each Portfolio is set at an annual rate as follows: Large
Cap Value Portfolio, 0.07%; Large Cap Growth Portfolio,
0.06%, Small Cap Value Portfolio, 0.05%; Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, 0.08%; Mid-Cap Portfolio, 0.12%; Capital
Appreciation Portfolio, 0.09%; Equity Income Portfolio,
0.09%; and Balanced Portfolio, 0.10%.
Distribution-related expenses reimbursable to the
Distributor under the budget include those related to the
costs of the printing of reports, prospectuses, notices and
similar materials for persons other than current
shareholders, federal and state securities law registration
and the cost of complying with such laws in the distribution
of the Trust's shares, advertising expenses and promotional
and sales expenses including expenses for travel,
communication and compensation and benefits for sales
personnel. Distribution expenses not attributable to a
specific Portfolio are allocated among each of the
Portfolios of the Trust on the basis of their average net
assets. The Trust is not obligated to reimburse the
Distributor for any expenditures in excess of the approved
budget.
It is possible that an institution may offer different
classes of shares to its customers and thus receive
different compensation with respect to different classes.
These financial institutions may also charge separate fees
to their customers.
The Trust may execute brokerage or other agency
transactions through the Distributor, for which the
Distributor may receive compensation.
The Distributor may, from time to time in its sole
discretion, institute one or more promotional incentive
programs, which will be paid for by the Distributor from the
sales charge it receives or from any other source available
to it. Under any such program, the
22
<PAGE>
Distributor will provide promotional incentives, in the form
of cash or other compensation, including merchandise,
airline vouchers, trips and vacation packages, to all
dealers selling shares of the Portfolios. Such promotional
incentives will be offered uniformly to all shares of the
Portfolios, and also will be offered uniformly to all
dealers, predicated upon the amount of shares of the
Portfolios sold by such dealer.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES ______________________________________________
Financial institutions may acquire Class A shares of the
Portfolios for their own accounts or as record owner on
behalf of fiduciary, agency or custody accounts by placing
orders with SFM. Institutions that use certain SEI
proprietary systems may place orders electronically through
those systems. State securities laws may require banks and
financial institutions purchasing shares for their customers
to register as broker-dealers pursuant to state laws.
Financial institutions may impose an earlier cut-off time
for receipt of purchase orders directed through them to
allow for processing and transmittal of these orders to SFM
for effectiveness the same day. Financial institutions that
purchase shares for the accounts of their customers may
impose separate charges on these customers for account
services. Shares of the Portfolios are offered only to
residents of states in which the shares are eligible for
purchase.
Shares of each Portfolio may be purchased or redeemed on
days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business ("Business Days").
Shareholders who desire to purchase shares for cash must
place their orders with SFM prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time
on any Business Day for the order to be accepted on that
Business Day. Generally, cash investments must be
transmitted or delivered in federal funds to the wire agent
on the next Business Day following the day the order is
placed. The Trust reserves the right to reject a purchase
order when the Distributor determines that it is not in the
best interest of the Trust or its shareholders to accept
such purchase order. In addition, because excessive trading
(including short-term "market timing" trading) can hurt a
Portfolio's performance, each Portfolio may refuse purchase
orders from any shareholder account if the accountholder has
been advised that previous purchase and redemption
transactions were considered excessive in number or amount.
Accounts under common control or ownership, including those
with the same taxpayer identification number and those
administered so as to redeem or purchase shares based upon
certain predetermined market indicators, will be considered
one account for this purpose.
Purchases will be made in full and fractional shares of
the Portfolios calculated to three decimal places. The Trust
will send shareholders a statement of shares owned after
each transaction. The purchase price of shares is the net
asset value next determined after a purchase order is
received and accepted by the Trust. The net asset value per
share of each Portfolio is determined by dividing the total
market value of a Portfolio's investments and other assets,
less any liabilities, by the total outstanding shares of
that Portfolio. Net
23
<PAGE>
asset value per share is determined daily at the close of
business of the New York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time) on each Business Day.
The market value of each portfolio security is obtained
by SFM from an independent pricing service. Securities
having maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase
will be valued using the amortized cost method (described in
the Statement of Additional Information). The pricing
service relies primarily on prices of actual market
transactions as well as trader quotations. However, the
pricing service may use a matrix system to determine
valuations of equity and fixed income securities. This
system considers such factors as security prices, yields,
maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating
to specific securities in arriving at valuations. The
procedures used by the pricing service and its valuations
are reviewed by the officers of the Trust under the general
supervision of the Trustees.
Shareholders who desire to redeem shares of the
Portfolios must place their redemption orders with SFM prior
to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on any Business Day. The
redemption price is the net asset value per share of the
Portfolio next determined after receipt by SFM of the
redemption order. Payment on redemption will be made as
promptly as possible and, in any event, within seven days
after the redemption order is received.
Shares of a Portfolio may be purchased in exchange for
securities included in the Portfolio subject to SFM's
determination that the securities are acceptable. Securities
accepted in an exchange will be valued at the market value.
All accrued interest and subscription of other rights which
are reflected in the market price of accepted securities at
the time of valuation become the property of the Trust and
must be delivered by the Shareholder to the Trust upon
receipt from the issuer.
SFM will not accept securities for a Portfolio unless (1)
such securities are appropriate in the Portfolio at the time
of the exchange; (2) such securities are acquired for
investment and not for resale; (3) the Shareholder
represents and agrees that all securities offered to the
Trust for the Portfolio are not subject to any restrictions
upon their sale by the Portfolio under the Securities Act of
1933, or otherwise; (4) such securities are traded on the
American Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange or on
NASDAQ in an unrelated transaction with a quoted sales price
on the same day the exchange valuation is made or, if not
listed on such exchanges or on NASDAQ, have prices available
from an independent pricing service approved by the Trust's
Board of Trustees; and (5) the securities may be acquired
under the investment restrictions applicable to the
Portfolio.
Purchase and redemption orders may be placed by
telephone. Neither the Trust nor SFM will be responsible for
any loss, liability, cost or expense for acting upon wire
instructions or upon telephone instructions that it
reasonably believes to be genuine. The Trust and SFM will
each employ reasonable procedures to confirm that
instructions communicated by telephone are genuine,
including requiring a form of personal
24
<PAGE>
identification prior to acting upon instructions received by
telephone and recording telephone instructions.
If market conditions are extraordinarily active, or other
extraordinary circumstances exist, and shareholders
experience difficulties placing redemption orders by
telephone, shareholders may wish to consider placing their
order by other means.
PERFORMANCE ____________________________________________________________________
From time to time, a Portfolio may advertise yield and total
return. These figures will be based on historical earnings
and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
yield of a Portfolio refers to the annualized income
generated by an investment in the Portfolio over a specified
30-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the
same amount of income generated by the investment during
that period is generated in each 30-day period over one year
and is shown as a percentage of the investment.
The total return of a Portfolio refers to the average
compounded rate of return to a hypothetical investment
redeemed at the end of the specified period covered by the
total return figure, for designated time periods (including
but not limited to, the period from which the Portfolio
commenced operations through the specified date), assuming
that the entire investment is redeemed at the end of each
period and assuming the reinvestment of all dividend and
capital gain distributions. The total return of a Portfolio
may also be quoted as a dollar amount or on an aggregate
basis, an actual basis, without inclusion of any front-end
or contingent sales charges, or with a reduced sales charge
in advertisements distributed to investors entitled to a
reduced sales charge.
A Portfolio may periodically compare its performance to
that of: (i) other mutual funds tracked by mutual fund
rating services (such as Lipper Analytical), financial and
business publications and periodicals; (ii) broad groups of
comparable mutual funds; (iii) unmanaged indices which may
assume investment of dividends but generally do not reflect
deductions for administrative and management costs; or (iv)
other investment alternatives. A Portfolio may quote
Morningstar, Inc., a service that ranks mutual funds on the
basis of risk-adjusted performance. A Portfolio may quote
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois, which provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the U.S. A
Portfolio may use long term performance of these capital
markets to demonstrate general long-term risk versus reward
scenarios and could include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of the capital markets. A Portfolio may
also quote financial and business publications and
periodicals as they relate to fund management, investment
philosophy, and investment techniques.
A Portfolio may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising and may compare these
measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
attempt to compare historical share price fluctuations or
total returns to a benchmark while measures of benchmark
correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark might
be. Measures of volatility and correlation are calculated
using averages of historical data and cannot be calculated
precisely.
25
<PAGE>
For each Portfolio, the performance of Class A shares
will normally be higher than the performance of the Class D
shares of that Portfolio because of the additional
distribution and transfer agent expenses charged to Class D
shares.
Additional performance information is set forth in the
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and is available upon
request and without charge by calling 1-800-342-5734.
TAXES __________________________________________________________________________
The following summary of federal income tax consequences is
based on current tax laws and regulations, which may be
changed by legislative, judicial or administrative action.
No attempt has been made to present a detailed explanation
of the federal, state or local income tax treatment of a
Portfolio or its shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders are
urged to consult their tax advisers regarding specific
questions as to federal, state and local taxes. State and
local tax consequences of an investment in a Portfolio may
differ from the federal income tax consequences described
below. Additional information concerning taxes is set forth
in the Statement of Additional Information.
Tax Status of A Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal
the Portfolios income tax purposes and is not combined with the Trust's
other portfolios. Each Portfolio intends to continue to
qualify for the special tax treatment afforded regulated
investment companies ("RICs") under Subchapter M of the
Code, so as to be relieved of federal income tax on net
investment company taxable income (including the excess, if
any, of net short-term capital gains over net long-term
capital losses) and net capital gains (the excess of net
long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses)
distributed to shareholders.
Tax Status of Each Portfolio distributes substantially all of its net
Distributions investment company taxable income to shareholders. Dividends
from a Portfolio's net investment company taxable income are
taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income (whether
received in cash or in additional shares), and generally
will qualify for the dividends-received deduction for
corporate shareholders to the extent that such dividends are
derived from dividends paid on domestic and equity
securities owned by the Portfolio. Distributions of net
capital gains are also not eligible for the corporate
dividends-received deduction and are taxable to shareholders
as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long a
shareholder has held shares. Each Portfolio will make annual
reports to shareholders of the federal income tax status of
all distributions.
Dividends declared by a Portfolio in October, November or
December of any year and payable to shareholders of record
on a date in such a month will be deemed to have been paid
by the Portfolio and received by the shareholders on
December 31 of the year declared if paid by a Portfolio at
any time during the following January.
Each Portfolio intends to make sufficient distributions
to avoid liability for the federal excise tax applicable to
RICs.
Each sale, exchange or redemption of a Portfolio's shares
generally is a taxable transaction to the shareholder.
26
<PAGE>
GENERAL INFORMATION ____________________________________________________________
The Trust The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated October 20, 1986. The
Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to offer separate
series ("portfolios") of shares and different classes of
each portfolio. All consideration received by the Trust for
shares of any class of any portfolio and all assets of such
portfolio or class belong to that portfolio or class,
respectively, and would be subject to the liabilities
related thereto.
The Trust pays its expenses, including fees of its
service providers, audit and legal expenses, expenses of
preparing prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials and
reports to shareholders, costs of custodial services and
registering the shares under federal and state securities
laws, pricing, insurance expenses, litigation and other
extraordinary expenses, brokerage costs, interest charges,
taxes and organization expenses.
Certain shareholders in one or more of the Portfolios may
obtain asset allocation services from the Adviser and other
financial intermediaries with respect to their investments
in such Portfolios. If a sufficient amount of a Portfolio's
assets are subject to such asset allocation services, a
Portfolio may incur higher transaction costs and a higher
portfolio turnover rate than would otherwise be anticipated
as a result of redemptions and purchases of Portfolio shares
pursuant to such services.
Further, to the extent that the Adviser is providing
asset allocation services and providing investment advice to
the Portfolios, it may face conflicts of interest in
fulfilling its responsibilities because of the possible
differences between the interests of its asset allocation
clients and the interest of the Portfolios.
Trustees of the The management and affairs of the Trust are supervised by
Trust the Trustees under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The Trustees have approved contracts under
which, as described above, certain companies provide
essential management services to the Trust.
Voting Rights Each share held entitles the shareholder of record to one
vote. The shareholders of each Portfolio or class will vote
separately on matters pertaining solely to that Portfolio or
class, such as any distribution plan. As a Massachusetts
business trust, the Trust is not required to hold annual
meetings of shareholders, but approval will be sought for
certain changes in the operation of the Trust and for the
election of Trustees under certain circumstances. In
addition, a Trustee may be removed by the remaining Trustees
or by shareholders at a special meeting called upon written
request of shareholders owning at least 10% of the
outstanding shares of the Trust. In the event that such a
meeting is requested, the Trust will provide appropriate
assistance and information to the shareholders requesting
the meeting.
Reporting The Trust issues unaudited financial statements semi-
annually and audited financial statements annually. The
Trust furnishes proxy statements and other reports to
shareholders of record.
27

Shareholder Shareholder inquiries should be directed to the Manager, SEI
Inquiries Financial Management Corporation, 680 East Swedesford Road,
Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658.
Dividends Substantially all of the net investment income (exclusive of
capital gains) of each Portfolio is periodically declared
and paid as a dividend. Dividends currently are paid on a
quarterly basis for each Portfolio. Currently, net capital
gains (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net
short-term capital loss) realized, if any, will be
distributed at least annually.
Shareholders automatically receive all income dividends
and capital gain distributions in additional shares at the
net asset value next determined following the record date,
unless the shareholder has elected to take such payment in
cash. Shareholders may change their election by providing
written notice to SFM at least 15 days prior to the
distribution. Dividends and capital gains of each
Portfolio are paid on a per-share basis. The value of each
share will be reduced by the amount of any such payment. If
shares are purchased shortly before the record date for a
dividend or capital gains distribution, a shareholder will
pay the full price for the share and receive some portion of
the price back as a taxable dividend or distribution.
The dividends on Class D shares of each Portfolio that
offers Class D shares will normally be lower than those on
Class A shares because of the additional distribution and
transfer agent expenses charged to Class D shares.
Counsel and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP serves as counsel to the Trust.
Independent Price Waterhouse LLP serves as the independent accountants
Accountants of the Trust.
Custodian and CoreStates Bank, N.A., Broad and Chestnut Streets, P.O. Box

Trust as required by the 1940 Act.
DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS AND RISK FACTORS __________________________
The following is a description of the permitted investment
practices for the Portfolios, and the associated risk
factors:
American ADRs are securities, typically issued by a U.S. financial
Depositary institution (a "depositary"), that evidence ownership
Receipts interests in a security or a pool of securities issued by a
("ADRs") foreign issuer and deposited with the depositary. ADRs may
be available through "sponsored" or "unsponsored"
facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by
the issuer of the security underlying the receipt and a
depositary, whereas an unsponsored facility may be
established by a depositary without participation by the
issuer of the underlying security.
Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear
all the costs of the unsponsored facility. The depositary of
an unsponsored facility frequently is under no
28
<PAGE>
obligation to distribute shareholder communications received
from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass
through, to the holders of the receipts, voting rights with
respect to the deposited securities. ADRs that are not
listed or traded on an exchange can be purchased over the
counter. Prices for such ADRs are determined by market
makers.
Convertible Convertible securities are corporate securities that are
Securities exchangeable for a set number of another security at a
prestated price. Convertible securities typically have
characteristics similar to both fixed-income and equity
securities. Because of the conversion feature, the market
value of a convertible security tends to move with the
market value of the underlying stock. The value of a
convertible security is also affected by prevailing interest
rates, the credit quality of the issuer, and any call
provisions.
Derivatives Derivatives are securities that derive their value from
other securities. The following are considered derivative
securities: options on futures, futures, options (i.e., puts
and calls), swap agreements, mortgage-backed securities
(e.g., CMOs, REMICs, IOs and POs), when-issued securities
and forward commitments, floating and variable rate
securities, convertible securities, "stripped" U.S. Treasury
securities (e.g., Receipts and STRIPs), privately issued
stripped securities (e.g., TGRs, TRs and CATS). See
elsewhere in this "Description of Permitted Investments and
Risk Factors" for discussions of these various instruments,
and see "Investment Objectives and Policies" for more
information about any investment policies and limitations
applicable to their use.
Equity Equity securities represent ownership interests in a company
Securities or corporation and include common stock, preferred stock,
and warrants and other rights to acquire such instruments.
Changes in the value of portfolio securities will not
necessarily affect cash income derived from these securities
but will affect a Portfolio's net asset value.
Fixed Income Fixed income securities are debt obligations issued by
Securities corporations, municipalities and other borrowers. Moreover,
while securities with longer maturities tend to produce
higher yields, the prices of longer maturity securities are
also subject to greater market fluctuations as a result of
changes in interest rates.
Futures and Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party
Options on and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a
Futures specific security at a specified future time and at a
specified price. An option on a futures contract gives the
purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a
position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price
during the term of the option. A Portfolio may use futures
contracts and related options for bona fide hedging
purposes, to offset changes in the value of securities held
or expected to be acquired or be disposed of, to minimize
fluctuations in foreign currencies, or to gain exposure to a
particular market or instrument. A Portfolio will minimize
the risk that it will be unable to close out a futures
contract by only entering into futures contracts that are
traded on national futures exchanges.
A stock index futures contract is a bilateral agreement
pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery
of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar
29
<PAGE>
amount times the difference between the stock index value at
the close of trading of the contract and the price at which
the futures contract is originally struck. No physical
delivery of the stocks comprising the index is made;
generally contracts are closed out prior to the expiration
date of the contract.
No price is paid upon entering into futures contracts.
Instead, a Portfolio would be required to deposit an amount
of cash or U.S. Treasury securities known as "initial
margin." Subsequent payments, called "variation margin," to
and from the broker, would be made on a daily basis as the
value of the futures position varies (a process known as
"marking to market"). The margin is in the nature of a
performance bond or good-faith deposit on a futures
contract.
In order to avoid leveraging and related risks, when a
Portfolio purchases futures contracts, it will collateralize
its position by depositing an amount of cash or liquid, high
grade debt securities, equal to the market value of the
futures positions held, less margin deposits, in a
segregated account with the Trust's custodian. Collateral
equal to the current market value of the futures position
will be marked to market on a daily basis.
There are risks associated with these activities,
including the following: (1) the success of a hedging
strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in
the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets
and movements in interest rates, (2) there may be an
imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market
value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices
of futures and options on futures, (3) there may not be a
liquid secondary market for a futures contract or option,
(4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an
exchange, and (5) government regulations may restrict
trading in futures contracts and options on futures.
A Portfolio may enter into futures contracts and options
on futures contracts traded on an exchange regulated by the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), so long as,
to the extent that such transactions are not for "bone fide
hedging purposes," the aggregate initial margin and premiums
on such positions (excluding the amount by which such
options are in the money) do not exceed 5% of the
Portfolio's net assets. A Portfolio may buy and sell
furniture contracts and related options to manage its
exposure to changing interest rates and securities prices.
Some strategies reduce a Portfolio's exposure to price
fluctuations, while others tend to increase its market
exposure. Futures and options on futures can be volatile
instruments and involve certain risks that could negatively
impact a Portfolio's return.
Illiquid Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be disposed
Securities of within seven business days at approximately the price at
which they are being carried on the Portfolio's books.
Illiquid securities include demand instruments with a demand
notice period exceeding seven days, where there is no
secondary market for such security, and repurchase
agreements with durations over 7 days in length.
Money Market Money market securities are high-quality, dollar-
Instruments denominated, short-term debt instruments. They consist of:
(i) bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposits, notes
and
30
<PAGE>
time deposits of highly-rated U.S. banks and U.S. branches
of foreign banks; (ii) U.S. Treasury obligations and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government; (iii) high-quality
commercial paper issued by U.S. and foreign corporations;
(iv) debt obligations with a maturity of one year or less
issued by corporations with outstanding high-quality
commercial papers; and (v) repurchase agreements involving
any of the foregoing obligations entered into with highly-
rated banks and broker-dealers.
Mortgage-Backed Mortgage-backed securities are instruments that entitle the
Securities holder to a share of all interest and principal payments
from mortgages underlying the security. The mortgages
backing these securities include conventional fifteen and
thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages, graduated payment
mortgages, and adjustable rate mortgages and balloon
mortgages. Prepayment of mortgages which underlie securities
purchased at a premium often results in capital losses,
while prepayment of mortgages purchased at a discount often
results in capital gains. Because of these unpredictable
prepayment characteristics, it is often not possible to
predict accurately the average life or realized yield of a
particular issue. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to
the risk of prepayment of the underlying mortgages. During
periods of declining interest rates, prepayment of mortgages
underlying these securities can be expected to accelerate.
When the mortgaged-backed securities held by a Portfolio are
prepaid, the Portfolio must reinvest the proceeds in
securities the yield of which reflects prevailing interest
rates, which may be lower than the prepaid security.
Government Pass-Through Securities: These are securities
that are issued or guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency
representing an interest in a pool of mortgage loans. The
primary issuers or guarantors of these mortgage-backed
securities are GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. FNMA and FHLMC
obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Government as GNMA certificates are, but FNMA and
FHLMC securities are supported by the instrumentalities'
right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC
each guarantees timely distributions of interest to
certificate holders. GNMA and FNMA also each guarantees
timely distributions of scheduled principal. FHLMC has in
the past guaranteed only the ultimate collection of
principal of the underlying mortgage loan; however, FHLMC
now issues mortgage-backed securities (FHLMC Gold PCs) which
also guarantee timely payment of monthly principal
reductions. Government and private guarantees do not extend
to the securities' value, which is likely to vary inversely
with fluctuations in interest rates.
Private Pass-Through Securities: These are mortgage-
backed securities issued by a non-governmental entity, such
as a trust or corporate entity. These securities include
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate
mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"). While they are
generally structured with one or more types of credit
enhancement, private pass-through securities typically lack
a guarantee by an entity having the credit status of a
governmental agency or instrumentality.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs"): CMOs are
debt obligations or multiclass pass-through certificates
issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S.
31
<PAGE>
Government or by private originators or investors in
mortgage loans. In a CMO, series of bonds or certificates
are usually issued in multiple classes. Principal and
interest paid on the underlying mortgage assets may be
allocated among the several classes of a series of a CMO in
a variety of ways. Each class of a CMO, often referred to as
a "tranche," is issued with a specific fixed or floating
coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution
date. Principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets
may cause CMOs to be retired substantially earlier then
their stated maturities or final distribution dates,
resulting in a loss of all or part of any premium paid.
REMICs: A REMIC is a CMO that qualifies for special tax
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code and invests in
certain mortgages principally secured by interests in real
property. Investors may purchase beneficial interests in
REMICs, which are known as "regular" interests, or
"residual" interests. Guaranteed REMIC pass-through
certificates ("REMIC Certificates") issued by FNMA or FHLMC
represent beneficial ownership interests in a REMIC trust
consisting principally of mortgage loans or FNMA, FHLMC or
GNMA-guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates. For
FHLMC REMIC Certificates, FHLMC guarantees the timely
payment of interest, and also guarantees the payment of
principal as payments are required to be made on the
underlying mortgage participation certificates. FNMA REMIC
Certificates are issued and guaranteed as to timely
distribution of principal and interest by FNMA.
Parallel Pay Securities; PAC Bonds: Parallel pay CMOs and
REMICS are structured to provide payments of principal on
each payment date to more than one class. These simultaneous
payments are taken into account in calculating the stated
maturity date or final distribution date of each class,
which must be retired by its stated maturity date or final
distribution date, but may be retired earlier. Planned
Amortization Class CMOs ("PAC Bonds") generally require
payments of a specified amount of principal on each payment
date. PAC Bonds are always parallel pay CMOs with the
required principal payment on such securities having the
highest priority after interest has been paid to all
classes.
REITs: REITs are trusts that invest primarily in
commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. The
value of interests in REITs may be affected by the value of
the property owned or the quality of the mortgages held by
the trust.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities ("SMBs"): SMBs are
usually structured with two classes that receive specified
proportions of the monthly interest and principal payments
from a pool of mortgage securities. One class may receive
all of the interest payments and is thus termed an interest-
only class ("IO"), while the other class may receive all of
the principal payments and is thus termed the principal-only
class ("PO"). The value of IOs tends to increase as rates
rise and decrease as rates fall; the opposite is true of
POs. SMBs are extremely sensitive to changes in interest
rates because of the impact thereon of prepayment of
principal on the underlying mortgage securities can
experience wide swings in value in response to changes in
interest rates and associated mortgage prepayment rates.
During times when interest rates are experiencing
fluctuations, such
32
<PAGE>
securities can be difficult to price on a consistent basis.
The market for SMBs is not as fully developed as other
markets; SMBs, therefore, may be illiquid.
Risk Factors: Due to the possibility of prepayments of
the underlying mortgage instruments, mortgage-backed
securities generally do not have a known maturity. In the
absence of a known maturity, market participants generally
refer to an estimated average life. An average life estimate
is a function of an assumption regarding anticipated
prepayment patterns, based upon current interest rates,
current conditions in the relevant housing markets and other
factors. The assumption is necessarily subjective, and thus
different market participants can produce different average
life estimates with regard to the same security. There can
be no assurance that estimated average life will be a
security's actual average life.
Options A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to
sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy,
the underlying security at any time during the option
period. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the
right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to
sell, the underlying security at any time during the option
period. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration
for undertaking the obligations under the option contract.
The initial purchase (sale) of an option contract is an
"opening transaction." In order to close out an option
position, a portfolio may enter into a "closing
transaction," which is simply the sale (purchase) of an
option contract on the same security with the same exercise
price and expiration date as the option contract originally
opened. If a Portfolio is unable to effect a closing
transaction with respect to an option it has written, it
will not be able to sell the underlying security until the
option expires or the Portfolio delivers the security upon
exercise.
A Portfolio may purchase put and call options to protect
against a decline in the market value of the securities in
its portfolio or to anticipate an increase in the market
value of securities that a Portfolio may seek to purchase in
the future. A Portfolio purchasing put and call options pays
a premium therefor. If price movements in the underlying
securities are such that exercise of the options would not
be profitable for the Portfolio, loss of the premium paid
may be offset by an increase in the value of the Portfolio's
securities or by a decrease in the cost of acquisition of
securities by the Portfolio.
A Portfolio may write covered call options as a means of
increasing the yield on its portfolio and as a means of
providing limited protection against decreases in its market
value. When a portfolio sells an option, if the underlying
securities do not increase or decrease to a price level that
would make the exercise of the option profitable to the
holder thereof, the option generally will expire without
being exercised and the Portfolio will realize as profit the
premium received for such option. When a call option written
by a portfolio is the writer is exercised, the Portfolio
will be required to sell the underlying securities to the
option holder at the strike price, and will not participate
in any increase in the price of such securities above the
strike price. When a put option written by a
33
<PAGE>
Portfolio is exercised, the Portfolio will be requited to
purchase the underlying securities at the strike price,
which may be in excess of the market value of such
securities.
A Portfolio may purchase and write options on an exchange
or over-the-counter. Over-the-counter options ("OTC
options") differ from exchange-traded options in several
respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not
with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk
of non-performance by the dealer. OTC options are available
for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of
expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for
exchange-traded options. Because OTC options are not traded
on an exchange, pricing is done normally by reference to
information from a market maker. It is the position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that OTC options are
generally illiquid.
A Portfolio may purchase and write put and call options
on indices and enter into related closing transactions. Put
and call options on indices are similar to options on
securities except that options on an index give the holder
the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount
of cash if the closing level of the underlying index is
greater than (or less than, in the case of puts) the
exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal
to the difference between the closing price of the index and
the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars
multiplied by a specified number. Thus, unlike options on
individual securities, all settlements are in cash, and gain
or loss depends on price movements in the particular market
represented by the index generally, rather than the price
movements in individual securities. A Portfolio may choose
to terminate an option position by entering into a closing
transaction. The ability of a Portfolio to enter into
closing transactions depends upon the existence of a liquid
secondary market for such transactions.
All options written on indices must be covered. When a
Portfolio writes an option on an index, it will establish a
segregated account containing cash or liquid, high grade
debt securities with its Custodian in an amount at least
equal to the market value of the option and will maintain
the account while the option is open or will otherwise cover
the transaction.
Risk Factors: Risks associated with options transactions
include: (1) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on
an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual
securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in
interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect correlation
between the movement in prices of options and the securities
underlying them; (3) there may not be a liquid secondary
market for options; and (4) while a Portfolio will receive a
premium when it writes covered call options, it may not
participate fully in a rise in the market value of the
underlying security.
Receipts Receipts are sold as zero coupon securities, which means
that they are sold at a substantial discount and redeemed at
face value at their maturity date without interim cash
payments of interest or principal. This discount is accreted
over the life of the security, and such accretion will
constitute the income earned on the security for both
accounting and tax
34
<PAGE>
purposes. Because of these features, such securities may be
subject to greater interest rate volatility than interest
paying Permitted Investments. See also "Taxes."
Repurchase Arrangements by which a Portfolio obtains a security and
Agreements simultaneously commits to return the security to the seller
at an agreed upon price (including principal and interest)
on an agreed upon date within a number of days from the date
of purchase. The Custodian or its agent will hold the
security as collateral for the repurchase agreement.
Collateral must be maintained at a value at least equal to
102% of the purchase price. The Portfolio bears a risk of
loss in the event the other party defaults on its
obligations and the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from
exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities
or if the Portfolio realizes a loss on the sale of the
collateral securities. An adviser will enter into repurchase
agreements on behalf of the Portfolio only with financial
institutions deemed to present minimal risk of bankruptcy
during the term of the agreement based on guidelines
established and periodically reviewed by the Trustees.
Repurchase agreements are considered loans under the 1940
Act.
Securities In order to generate additional income, a Portfolio may lend
Lending securities which it owns pursuant to agreements requiring
that the loan be continuously secured by collateral
consisting of cash or securities of the U.S. Government or
its agencies equal to at least 100% of the market value of
the loaned securities. A Portfolio continues to receive
interest on the loaned securities while simultaneously
earning interest on the investment of cash collateral.
Collateral is marked to market daily. There may be risks of
delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights
in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail
financially or become insolvent.
Securities of There are certain risks connected with investing in foreign
Foreign Issuers securities. These include risks of adverse political and
economic developments (including possible governmental
seizure or nationalization of assets), the possible
imposition of exchange controls or other governmental
restrictions, less uniformity in accounting and reporting
requirements, the possibility that there will be less
information on such securities and their issuers available
to the public, the difficulty of obtaining or enforcing
court judgments abroad, restrictions on foreign investments
in other jurisdictions, difficulties in effecting
repatriation of capital invested abroad, and difficulties in
transaction settlements and the effect of delay on
shareholder equity. Foreign securities may be subject to
foreign taxes, and may be less marketable than comparable
U.S. securities. The value of a Portfolio's investments
denominated in foreign currencies will depend on the
relative strengths of those currencies and the U.S. dollars,
and a Portfolio may be affected favorably or unfavorably by
changes in the exchange rates or exchange control
regulations between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also may affect
the value of dividends and interest earned, gains and losses
realized on the sale of securities and net investment income
and gains if any, to be distributed to shareholders by a
Portfolio.

U.S. Government
Agency Obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies of the U.S.
Obligations Government, including, among others, the Federal Farm Credit
Bank, the Federal Housing Administration and the Small
Business Administration, and obligations issued or
guaranteed by instrumentalities of the U.S. Government,
including, among others, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, the Federal Land Banks and the U.S. Postal
Service. Some of these securities are supported by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury (e.g., Government
National Mortgage Association securities), others are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
Treasury (e.g., Federal Farm Credit Bank securities), while
still others are supported only by the credit of the
instrumentality (e.g., Federal National Mortgage Association
securities). Guarantees of principal by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may be a guarantee
of payment at the maturity of the obligation so that in the
event of a default prior to maturity there might not be a
market and thus no means of realizing on the obligation
prior to maturity. Guarantees as to the timely payment of
principal and interest do not extend to the value or yield
of these securities nor to the value of the Fund's shares.
U.S. Treasury U.S. Treasury obligations consist of bills, notes and bonds
Obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury, as well as separately traded
interest and principal component parts of such obligations,
known as Separately Traded Registered Interest and Principal
Securities ("STRIPS"), that are transferable through the
Federal book-entry system.
U.S. Treasury U. S. Treasury receipts are interests in separately traded
Receipts interest and principal component parts of U.S. Treasury
obligations that are issued by banks or brokerage firms and
are created by depositing U.S. Treasury notes and
obligations into a special account at a custodian bank. The
custodian holds the interest and principal payments for the
benefit of the registered owners of the certificates of
receipts. The custodian arranges for the issuance of the
certificates or receipts evidencing ownership and maintains
the register. Receipts include "Treasury Receipts" ("TRs"),
"Treasury Investment Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs") "Liquid
Yield Option Notes" ("LYONs") and "Certificates of Accrual
on Treasury Securities" ("CATS"). LYONs, TIGRs and CATS are
interests in private proprietary accounts, while TRs and
STRIPS are interest in accounts sponsored by the U.S.
Treasury.
Variable and Certain obligations may carry variable or floating rates of
Floating Rate interest, and may involve a conditional or unconditional
Instruments demand feature. Such instruments bear interest at rates
which are not fixed, but which vary with changes in
specified market rates or indices. The interest rates on
these securities may be reset daily, weekly, quarterly or
some other reset period, and may have a floor or ceiling on
interest rate changes. There is a risk that the current
interest rate on such obligations may not accurately reflect
existing market interest rates. A demand instrument with a
demand notice exceeding seven days may be considered
illiquid if there is no secondary market for such security.
Warrants Warrants are instruments giving holders the right, but not
the obligation, to buy shares of a company at a given price
during a specified period.
36
<PAGE>
When-Issued and When-issued or delayed delivery transactions involve the
Delayed purchase of an instrument with payment and delivery taking
Delivery place in the future. Delivery of and payment for these
Securities securities may occur a month or more after the date of the
purchase commitment. A Portfolio will maintain with the
custodian a separate account with liquid, high grade debt
securities or cash in an amount at least equal to these
commitments. The interest rate realized on these securities
is fixed as of the purchase date, and no interest accrues to
a Portfolio before settlement. These securities are subject
to market fluctuation due to changes in market interest
rates, and it is possible that the market value at the time
of settlement could be higher or lower than the purchase
price if the general level of interest rates has changed.
Although a Portfolio generally purchases securities on a
when-issued or forward commitment basis with the intention
of actually acquiring such securities, a Portfolio may
dispose of a when-issued security or forward commitment
prior to settlement if the advisers deem it appropriate to
do so.

factors can be found in the Statement of Additional
Information.

This Prospectus sets forth concisely information about the above-referenced
portfolios. Please read this Prospectus carefully before investing, and keep it
on file for future reference. It contains information that can help you decide
if a Portfolio's investment goals match your own.
A Statement of Additional Information dated January 31, 1996, has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available upon request and
without charge by writing the Distributor, SEI Financial Services Company, 680
East Swedesford Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658, or by calling 1-800-437-
6016. The Statement of Additional Information is incorporated into this
Prospectus by reference.
SEI Institutional Managed Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management
investment company, certain classes of which offer shareholders a convenient
means of investing their funds in one or more professionally managed
diversified portfolios of securities. The Core Fixed Income, Bond and High
Yield Bond Portfolios, investment portfolios of the Trust, offer two classes of
shares, Class A shares and Class D shares. Class D shares differ from Class A
shares primarily in the imposition of sales charges and the allocation of
certain distribution expenses and transfer agent fees. Class D shares are
available through SEI Financial Services Company (the Trust's distributor) and
through participating broker-dealers, financial institutions and other
organizations. This Prospectus offers the Class D shares of the fixed income
portfolios (each a "Portfolio" and, together, the "Portfolios") listed above.
THE HIGH YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO INVESTS PRIMARILY, AND MAY INVEST ALL OF ITS
ASSETS, IN LOWER RATED BONDS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "JUNK BONDS." THESE
SECURITIES ARE SPECULATIVE AND ARE SUBJECT TO GREATER RISK OF LOSS OF PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST THAN INVESTMENTS IN HIGHER RATED BONDS. BECAUSE INVESTMENT IN SUCH
SECURITIES ENTAILS GREATER RISKS, INCLUDING RISK OF DEFAULT, AN INVESTMENT IN
THE HIGH YIELD BOND PORTFOLIO SHOULD NOT CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE INVESTMENT
PROGRAM AND MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ALL INVESTORS. INVESTORS SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS POSED BY AN INVESTMENT IN THE HIGH YIELD BOND
PORTFOLIO BEFORE INVESTING. SEE "INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES," "RISK
FACTORS" AND THE "APPENDIX."
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE TRUST'S SHARES ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR GUARANTEED
OR ENDORSED BY, ANY BANK. THE TRUST'S SHARES ARE NOT FEDERALLY
INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, THE FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY. INVESTMENT IN THE
SHARES INVOLVES RISK, INCLUDING POSSIBLE LOSS OF THE PRINCIPAL
AMOUNT INVESTED.

HOW TO READ THIS PROSPECTUS ____________________________________________________
This Prospectus gives you information that you should know about the Portfolios
before investing. Brief descriptions are also provided throughout the
Prospectus to better explain certain key points. To find these helpful guides,

FUND HIGHLIGHTS ________________________________________________________________
The following summary provides basic information about the Class D shares of
the Trust's Core Fixed Income, Bond and High Yield Bond Portfolios. This
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more detailed
information provided elsewhere in this Prospectus and in the Statement of
Additional Information.
INVESTMENT Below are the investment objectives and policies for each
OBJECTIVES AND Portfolio. For more information, see "Investment Objectives
POLICIES and Policies," "Risk Factors" and "Description of Permitted
Investments and Risk Factors." There can be no assurance that
the Portfolios will achieve their investment objectives.
CORE FIXED The Core Fixed Income Portfolio seeks to provide current
INCOME income consistent with the preservation of capital by
PORTFOLIO investing primarily in investment grade fixed income
securities.
BOND PORTFOLIO The Bond Portfolio seeks to provide current income consistent
with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in
investment grade fixed income securities.
HIGH YIELD The High Yield Bond Portfolio seeks to maximize total re-
BOND PORTFOLIO turn by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of
high yield, lower rated fixed income securities.
UNDERSTANDING Shares of the Portfolios, like shares of any mutual
RISK fund, will fluctuate in value, and when you sell your shares,
they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them.
The value the fixed income securities in which the Portfolios
invest tend to vary inversely with interest rates, and may be
affected by other market and economic factors as well. The
High Yield Bond Portfolio invests primarily in lower rated
bonds which are considered speculative and are subject to
greater loss of principal and interest than investments in
higher rated bonds.

HOW DOES AN
EXCHANGE
TAKE PLACE?
When making an exchange, you authorize the sale of your shares of one or more
Portfolios in order to purchase the shares of another Portfolio. In other
words, you are executing a sell order and then a buy order. This sale of your
shares is a taxable event which could result in a taxable gain or loss.

INVESTMENT
OBJECTIVES AND
POLICIES _______________________________________________________________________
CORE FIXED The investment objective of the Core Fixed Income
INCOME Portfolio (formerly the Intermediate Bond Portfolio) is
PORTFOLIO current income consistent with the preservation of capital.
There can be no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its
investment objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in fixed income securities
that are rated investment grade or better, i.e., rated in one
of the four highest rating categories by a nationally
recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") at the
time of purchase, or, if
9
<PAGE>
not rated, determined to be of comparable quality by the
advisers. Fixed income securities rated in the fourth
highest rating category lack outstanding investment
characteristics, and have speculative characteristics as
well. Fixed income securities in which the Portfolio may
invest consist of: (i) corporate bonds and debentures, (ii)
obligations issued by the United States Government, its
agencies and instrumentalities, (iii) municipal securities
of issuers located in all fifty states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories and
possessions, consisting of municipal bonds, municipal notes,
tax-exempt commercial paper and municipal lease obligations,
(iv) receipts involving U.S. Treasury obligations, (v)
mortgage-backed securities, (vi) asset-backed securities,
and (vii) zero coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment
securities.
Any remaining assets may be invested in: (i) interest-
only and principal-only components of mortgage-backed
securities, (ii) mortgage dollar rolls, (iii) securities
issued on a when-issued and delayed-delivery basis,
including TBA mortgage-backed securities, (iv) warrants, (v)
money market securities, and (vi) Yankee obligations. In
addition, the Portfolio may purchase or write options,
futures (including futures on U.S. Treasury obligations and
Eurodollar instruments) and options on futures.
Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed
income security on a cash flow basis. Most debt obligations
provide interest payments and a final payment at maturity.
Some also have put or call provisions that allow the
security to be redeemed at specified dates prior to
maturity. Duration incorporates yield, coupon interest
payments, final maturity and call features into a single
measure. The advisers therefore consider it a more accurate
measure of a security's expected life and sensitivity to
interest rate changes than is the security's term to
maturity.
The Core Fixed Income Portfolio invests in a portfolio
with a dollar-weighted average duration that will, under
normal market conditions, stay within plus or minus 20% of
what the advisers believe to be the average duration of the
domestic bond market as a whole. The advisers base their
analysis of the average duration of the domestic bond market
on bond market indices which they believe to be
representative. The advisers currently use the Lehman
Aggregate Bond Index for this purpose.
The Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate may exceed 100%.
Such a turnover rate may lead to higher transaction costs
and may result in higher taxes for shareholders. See
"Taxes."
The Portfolio's investment adviser is SEI Financial
Management Corporation and its investment sub-advisers are
BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., Firstar Investment
Research & Management Company and Western Asset Management
Company.
BOND PORTFOLIO The investment objective of the Bond Portfolio is current
income consistent with preservation of capital. There can be
no assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its investment
objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in fixed income securities
that are rated investment grade or better, i.e., rated in
10
<PAGE>
one of the four highest rating categories by an NRSRO at the
time of purchase, or, if not rated, determined to be of
comparable quality by the advisers. Fixed income securities
rated in the fourth highest rating category lack outstanding
investment characteristics, and have speculative
characteristics as well. Fixed income securities in which
the Portfolio may invest consist of: (i) corporate bonds and
debentures, (ii) obligations issued by the United States
Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, (iii)
receipts involving U.S. Treasury obligations, (iv) mortgage-
backed securities, (v) asset-backed securities, and (vi)
zero coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred payment securities.
Any remaining assets may be invested in: (i) convertible
securities, (ii) securities issued on a when-issued and
delayed-delivery basis, including TBA mortgage-backed
securities, (iii) money market securities and (iv) Yankee
obligations. In addition, the Portfolio may purchase or
write options, futures and options on futures.
There are no restrictions on the Portfolio's maturity.
The Portfolio's investment adviser is SEI Financial
Management Corporation and its investment sub-adviser is
Boatmen's Trust Company.
HIGH YIELD BOND The investment objective of the High Yield Bond Portfolio is
PORTFOLIO to maximize total return. There can be no assurance that the
Portfolio will achieve its investment objective.
Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio will invest
at least 65% of its total assets in fixed income securities
that are rated below investment grade, i.e., rated below the
top four rating categories by an NRSRO at the time of
purchase, or, if not rated, determined to be of comparable
quality by the advisers. Below investment grade securities
are commonly referred to as "junk bonds," and generally
entail increased credit and market risk. Securities rated in
the lowest rating categories may have predominantly
speculative characteristics or may be in default. The
achievement of the Portfolio's investment objective may be
more dependent on the advisers' own credit analysis than
would be the case if the Portfolio invested in higher rated
securities. There is no bottom limit on the ratings of high
yield securities that may be purchased or held by the
Portfolio.
The Portfolio may invest in all types of fixed income
securities issued by domestic and foreign issuers,
including: (i) mortgage-backed securities, (ii) asset-backed
securities, (iii) zero coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred
payment securities and (iv) variable and floating rate
instruments.
Any assets of the Portfolio not invested in the fixed
income securities described above may be invested in: (i)
convertible securities, (ii) preferred stocks, (iii) equity
securities, (iv) investment grade fixed income securities,
(v) money market securities, (vi) securities issued on a
when-issued and delayed-delivery basis, including TBA
mortgage-backed securities, (vii) forward foreign currency
contracts, and (viii) Yankee obligations. In addition, the
Portfolio may purchase or write options, futures and options
on futures.
The advisers may vary the average maturity of the
securities in the Portfolio without limit, and there is no
restriction on the maturity of any individual security.
The "Appendix" to this Prospectus sets forth a
description of the bond rating categories of several NRSROs.
The ratings established by each NRSRO represent its opinion
11
<PAGE>
of the safety of principal and interest payments (and not
the market risk) of bonds and other fixed income securities
it undertakes to rate at the time of issuance. Ratings are
not absolute standards of quality, and may not reflect
changes in an issuer's creditworthiness. Accordingly,
although the advisers will consider ratings, they will
perform their own analyses and will not rely principally on
ratings. The advisers will consider, among other things, the
price of the security and the financial history and
condition, the prospects and the management of an issuer in
selecting securities for the Portfolio.
The Portfolio's investment adviser is SEI Financial
Management Corporation and its investment sub-adviser is BEA
Associates.
GENERAL INVESTMENT
POLICIES _____________________________________________________________________

temporary, emergency purposes. A Portfolio will not purchase
securities while its borrowings exceed 5% of its total
assets.
Illiquid Each Portfolio 's investment in illiquid securities will be
Securities limited to 15% of its net assets.
Investment Each Portfolio may purchase investment company securities,
Company which will result in the layering of expenses. There are
Securities legal limits on the amount of such securities that may be
acquired by a Portfolio.
Securities Each Portfolio may lend its securities in order to realize
Lending additional income.
In order to meet liquidity needs or for temporary defensive
Temporary purposes, each Portfolio may invest up to 100% of its assets
Defensive in cash and money market securities. Money market securities
Investments must be rated in one of the top two categories by an NRSRO
or, if not rated, determined to be of comparable quality by
the Portfolio's advisers. To the extent a Portfolio is
engaged in temporary defensive investing, the Portfolio will
not be pursuing its investment objective.
For additional information regarding the Portfolios'
permitted investments, see "Risk Factors" and "Description
of Permitted Investments and Risk Factors" in this
Prospectus and "Description of Permitted Investments" in the
Statement of Additional Information. For a description of
the above ratings, see "Description of Ratings" in the
"Appendix" to this Prospectus and the Statement of
Additional Information.
RISK FACTORS ___________________________________________________________________
Equity Investments in equity securities in general are subject to
Securities market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over
time. The value of convertible equity securities is also
affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of
the Issuer and any call provisions. Fluctuations in the
value of equity securities in which a Portfolio invests will
cause the net asset value of the Portfolio to fluctuate.
Fixed Income The market value of a Portfolio's fixed income investments
Securities will change in response to interest rate changes and other
factors. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values
12
<PAGE>
of outstanding fixed income securities generally rise.
Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the
values of such securities generally decline. Securities with
longer maturities are subject to greater fluctuations in
value than securities with shorter maturities. Changes by an
NRSRO in the rating of any fixed income security and in the
ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and
principal also affect the value of these investments.
Changes in the value of a Portfolio's securities will not
affect cash income derived from these securities but will
affect the Portfolio's net asset value.
Securities held by a Portfolio that are guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities guarantee
only the payment of principal and interest on the guaranteed
securities, and do not guarantee the securities' yield or
value or the yield or value of a Portfolio's shares.
There is a risk that the current interest rate on
floating and variable rate instruments may not accurately
reflect existing market interest rates.
Foreign Investing in the securities of foreign companies and the
Securities and utilization of forward foreign currency contracts involve
Foreign special risks and considerations not typically associated
Currency with investing in U.S. companies. These risks and
Contracts considerations include differences in accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards, generally higher
commission rates on foreign portfolio transactions, the
possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation,
adverse changes in investment or exchange control
regulations, political instability that could affect U.S.
investment in foreign countries and potential restrictions
of the flow of international capital and currencies. Foreign
companies may also be subject to less government regulation
than U.S. companies. Moreover, the dividends payable on the
foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding
taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available for
distribution to the Portfolio's shareholders. Further,
foreign securities often trade with less frequency and
volume than domestic securities and, therefore, may exhibit
greater price volatility. Changes in foreign exchange rates
will affect, favorably or unfavorably, the value of those
securities which are denominated or quoted in currencies
other than the U.S. dollar.
By entering into forward foreign currency contracts, a
Portfolio will seek to protect the value of its investment
securities against a decline in the value of a currency.
However, these forward foreign currency contracts will not
eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the
securities. Rather, they simply establish a rate of exchange
which one can obtain at some future point in time. Although
such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a
decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also tend
to limit any potential gain which might result should the
value of such currency increase.
High Yield, The High Yield Bond Portfolio may invest in lower rated
Lower Rated securities. Fixed income securities are subject to the risk
Bonds of an issuer's ability to meet principal and interest
payments on the obligation (credit risk), and may also be
subject to price volatility due to such factors as interest
rate sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness
of the issuer and
13
<PAGE>
general market liquidity (market risk). Lower rate or
unrated (i.e., high yield) securities are more likely to
react to developments affecting market and credit risk than
are more highly rated securities, which primarily react to
movements in the general level of interest rates. The market
values of fixed-income securities tend to vary inversely
with the level of interest rates. Yields and market values
of high yield securities will fluctuate over time,
reflecting not only changing interest rates but the market's
perception of credit quality and the outlook for economic
growth. When economic conditions appear to be deteriorating,
medium to lower rated securities may decline in value due to
heightened concern over credit quality, regardless of
prevailing interest rates. Investors should carefully
consider the relative risks of investing in high yield
securities and understand that such securities are not
generally meant for short-term investing.
The high yield market is relatively new and its growth
has paralleled a long period of economic expansion and an
increase in merger, acquisition and leveraged buyout
activity. Adverse economic developments can disrupt the
market for high yield securities, and severely affect the
ability of issuers, especially highly leveraged issuers, to
service their debt obligations or to repay their obligations
upon maturity which may lead to a higher incidence of
default on such securities. In addition, the secondary
market for high yield securities, which is concentrated in
relatively few market makers, may not be as liquid as the
secondary market for more highly rated securities. As a
result, the Portfolio's advisers could find it more
difficult to sell these securities or may be able to sell
the securities only at prices lower than if such securities
were widely traded. Furthermore the Portfolio may experience
difficulty in valuing certain securities at certain times.
Prices realized upon the sale of such lower rated or unrated
securities, under these circumstances, may be less than the
prices used in calculating the Portfolio's net asset value.
Prices for high yield securities may be affected by
legislative and regulatory developments. These laws could
adversely affect the Portfolio's net asset value and
investment practices, the secondary market value for high
yield securities, the financial condition of issuers of
these securities and the value of outstanding high yield
securities.
For example, federal legislation requiring the
divestiture by federally insured savings and loan
associations of their investments in high yield bonds and
limiting the deductibility of interest by certain corporate
issuers of high yield bonds adversely affected the market in
recent years. Lower rated or unrated debt obligations also
present risks based on payment expectations. If an Issuer
calls the obligations for redemption, the Portfolio may have
to replace the security with a lower yielding security,
resulting in a decreased return for investors. If the
Portfolio experiences unexpected net redemptions, it may be
forced to sell its higher rated securities, resulting in a
decline in the overall credit quality of the Portfolio's
investment portfolio and increasing the exposure of the
Portfolio to the risks of high yield securities.
Mortgage-Backed Mortgage-backed securities are subject to the risk of
Securities prepayment of the underlying mortgages. During periods of
declining interest rates, prepayment of mortgages underlying
14
<PAGE>
these securities can be expected to accelerate. When the
mortgaged-backed securities held by a Portfolio are prepaid,
the Portfolio must reinvest the proceeds in securities the
yield of which reflects prevailing interest rates, which may
be lower than the yield of the prepaid security.
Zero Coupon Zero coupon obligations may be subject to greater
Obligations fluctuations in value due to interest rate changes than
interest bearing obligations. A Portfolio will be required
to include the imputed interest in zero coupon obligations
in its current income. Because a Portfolio distributes all
of its net investment income to shareholders, a Portfolio
may have to sell portfolio securities to distribute the
income attributable to these obligations and securities at a
time when the advisers would not have chosen to sell such
obligations or securities and which may result in a taxable
gain or loss.

LIMITATIONS __________________________________________________________________
The investment objective and investment limitations are
fundamental policies of the Portfolios. Fundamental policies
cannot be changed with respect to the Trust or a Portfolio
without the consent of the holders of a majority of the
Trust's or that Portfolio's outstanding shares.
No Portfolio may:
1. With respect to 75% of its assets, (i) purchase
securities of any issuer (except securities issued or
guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of
its total assets would be invested in the securities of
such issuer; or (ii) acquire more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer.
2. Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25%
of the total assets of the Portfolio to be invested in
the securities of one or more issuers conducting their
principal business activities in the same industry,
provided that this limitation does not apply to
investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the
United States Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.
The foregoing percentage limitations will apply at the
time of the purchase of a security. Additional fundamental
and non-fundamental investment limitations are set forth in

THE MANAGER
AND SHAREHOLDER
SERVICING AGENT ______________________________________________________________
SEI Financial Management Corporation ("SFM" or the
"Adviser") provides the Trust with overall management
services, regulatory reporting, all necessary office space,
equipment, personnel and facilities, and acts as shareholder
servicing agent.
For its management services, SFM is entitled to a fee

agreed to waive a portion of its fees in order to limit the
operating expenses of each Portfolio. SFM reserves the
right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this voluntary
fee waiver at any time.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995 the
Portfolios paid SFM the following management fees (based on
each Portfolio's average daily net assets after fee
waivers): Core Fixed Income, .30%; Bond Portfolio, .26%; and
High Yield Bond Portfolio, .16%.
The Trust and DST Systems, Inc., 210 W. 10th Street,

THE ADVISER ____________________________________________________________________
SEI FINANCIAL SEI Financial Management Corporation ("SFM") serves as
MANAGEMENT investment adviser to each Portfolio. SFM is a wholly-owned
CORPORATION subsidiary of SEI Corporation ("SEI"), a financial services
company located in Wayne, Pennsylvania. The principal
business address of SFM is 680 East Swedesford Road, Wayne,
Pennsylvania 19087-1658. SEI was founded in 1968 and is a
leading provider of investment solutions to banks,
institutional investors, investment advisers and insurance
companies. Affiliates of SFM have provided consulting advice
to institutional investors for more than 20 years, including
advice regarding the selection and evaluation of investment
advisers. SFM currently serves as manager or administrator
to more than 26 investment companies, including more than
220 portfolios, which investment companies have more than
$51 billion in assets as of September 30, 1995.
The Adviser has general oversight responsibility for the
investment advisory services provided to the Portfolios,
including formulating the Portfolios' investment policies
and analyzing economic trends affecting the Portfolios. In
addition, SFM, where it is the Adviser to a Portfolio, is
responsible for (i) managing the allocation of assets among
the Portfolio's sub-advisers, (ii) directing and evaluating
the investment services provided by the sub-advisers,
including their adherence to the Portfolio's respective
investment objective and policies and the Portfolio's
investment performance, and (iii) managing the cash portion
of the Portfolio's assets. In accordance with each
Portfolio's investment objective and policies, and under the
supervision of the Adviser and the Trust's Board of
Trustees, each sub-adviser is responsible for the day-to-day
investment management of all or a discrete portion of the
assets of a Portfolio. The Adviser and sub-advisers are
authorized to make investment decisions for the Portfolios
and place orders on behalf of the Portfolios to effect the
investment decisions made.
SFM monitors the compliance of the sub-advisers of each
Portfolio with regulatory and tax regulations, such as
portfolio concentration and diversification. For the most
part compliance with these requirements by each sub-adviser
with respect to its portion of a Portfolio will assure
compliance by that Portfolio as a whole. In addition, SFM
monitors positions taken by each of a Portfolio's sub-
advisers and will notify the sub-advisers of any

INVESTMENT
ADVISER
A Portfolio's advisers manage the investment activities and are responsible
for the performance of the Portfolio. The advisers conduct investment
research, executes investment strategies based on an assessment of economic
and market conditions, and determine which securities to buy, hold or sell.
................................................................................
developing situations to help ensure that investments do not
run afoul of the short-short test or the wash sale rules. To
the extent that having multiple sub-advisers responsible for
investing separate portions of the Portfolio's assets creates
the need for coordination among the sub-advisers, there is an
increased risk that the Portfolio will not comply with these
regulatory and tax requirements.
For these advisory services, SFM is entitled to a fee,
which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate
of .275% of the Core Fixed Income and Bond Portfolios'
average daily net assets and .4875% of the High Yield Bond
Portfolio's average daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, SFM received
an advisory fee of .275% of the Core Fixed Income and Bond
Portfolios' average daily net assets and .4875% of the High
Yield Bond Portfolio's average daily net assets.
It is possible that different sub-advisers of a Portfolio
could take opposite actions within a short period of time with
respect to a particular security. For example, one sub-adviser
could buy a security for the Portfolio and shortly thereafter
another sub-adviser could sell the same security from the
portion of the Portfolio allocated to it. If in these
circumstances the securities could be transferred from one sub-
adviser's portion of the Portfolio to another, the Portfolio
could avoid transaction costs and could avoid creating
possible wash sales and short-short gains under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Such transfers
are not practicable but the sub-advisers do not believe that
there will be material adverse effects on the Portfolio as a
result. First, it does not appear likely that there will be
substantial overlap in the securities acquired for a Portfolio
by the various advisers. Moreover, the sub-advisers would
probably only rarely engage in the types of offsetting
transactions described above, especially within a short time
period. Therefore, it is a matter of speculation whether
offsetting transactions would result in any significant
increases in transaction costs or have significant tax
consequences. With respect to the latter, the sub-advisers
have established procedures with respect to the short-short
test which are designed to prevent realization of short-short
gains in excess of Code limits. It is true that wash sales
could occur in spite of the efforts of SFM, but the Board of
Trustees believes that the benefit of using multiple sub-
advisers outweighs the consequences of any wash sales.
SFM is currently seeking an exemptive order from the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that would
permit SFM, with the approval of the Trust's Board of
Trustees, to retain sub-advisers for a Portfolio without
submitting the sub-advisory agreement to a vote of the
Portfolio's shareholders. If granted, the exemptive relief
will
17
<PAGE>
permit the non-disclosure of amounts payable by SFM under
such sub-advisory agreements. The Trust will notify
shareholders in the event of any change in the identity of
the sub-adviser for a Portfolio. Until or unless this
exemptive order is granted, if one of the advisers is
terminated or departs from a Portfolio with multiple sub-
advisers, the Portfolio will handle such termination or
departure in one of two ways. First, the Portfolio may
propose that a new investment sub-adviser be appointed to
manage that portion of the Portfolio's assets managed by the
departing sub-adviser. In this case, the Portfolio would be
required to submit to the vote of the Portfolio's
shareholders the approval of a investment advisory contract
with the new sub-adviser. In the alternative, the Portfolio
may decide to allocate the departing adviser's assets among
the remaining sub-advisers. This allocation would not
require new investment advisory contracts with the remaining
sub-advisers, and consequently no shareholder approval would
be necessary.

DISTRIBUTION ___________________________________________________________________
SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI, serves as each Portfolio's
distributor pursuant to a distribution agreement (the
"Distribution Agreement") with the Trust. Each Class of the
Trust has adopted a distribution plan (the "Class A Plan" or
"Class D Plan" and, collectively, "the Plans") pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act").
20
<PAGE>
The Class D Plan provides for reimbursement for expenses
incurred by the Distributor, in an amount not to exceed .30%
of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, on an
annualized basis, provided those expenses are permissible as
to both type and amount under a budget adopted by the Board
of Trustees, including those who are not interested persons
and have no financial interest in the Plan or any related
agreement ("Qualified Trustees"). Currently, the budget
(shown here as a percentage of average daily net assets) for
each Portfolio is set at an annual rate of .08% for the Core
Fixed Income Portfolio, .10% for the Bond and High Yield
Bond Portfolios.
Distribution-related expenses reimbursable to the
Distributor under the budget include those related to the
costs of the printing of reports, prospectuses, notices and
similar materials for persons other than current
shareholders, federal and state securities law registration
and the cost of complying with such laws in the distribution
of the Trust's shares, advertising expenses and promotional
and sales expenses including expenses for travel,
communication and compensation and benefits for sales
personnel. Distribution expenses not attributable to a
specific Portfolio are allocated among each of the
Portfolios of the Trust on the basis of their average net
assets. The Trust is not obligated to reimburse the
Distributor for any expenditures in excess of the approved
budget.
The Class D Plan, in addition to providing for the
reimbursement payments described above, provides for
payments to the Distributor at an annual rate of .30% of
each Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to
Class D shares. This additional payment may be used to
compensate financial institutions that provide distribution-
related services to their customers. These payments are
characterized as "compensation," and are not directly tied
to expenses incurred by the Distributor; the payments the
Distributor receives during any year may therefore be higher
or lower than its actual expenses. These additional payments
compensate the Distributor for its services in connection
with distribution assistance or the provision of shareholder
services, and some or all of it may be used to pay financial
institutions and intermediaries such as banks, savings and
loan associations, insurance companies, and investment
counselors, broker-dealers (including the Distributor's
affiliates and subsidiaries) for services or reimbursement
of expenses incurred in connection with distribution
assistance or the provision of shareholder services. If the
Distributor's expenses are less than its fees under the
Class D Plan, the Trust will still pay the full fee and the
Distributor will realize a profit, but the Trust will not be
obligated to pay in excess of the full fee, even if the
Distributor's actual expenses are higher. Currently, the
Distributor is taking this additional compensation under the
Class D Plan at a rate of .25% of each Portfolio's average
daily net assets, on an annualized basis, attributable to
Class D shares.
It is possible that an institution may offer different
classes of shares to its customers and thus receive
different compensation with respect to different classes.
These financial institutions may also charge separate fees
to their customers.
The Trust may execute brokerage or other agency
transactions through the Distributor, for which the
Distributor may receive compensation.
21
<PAGE>
The Distributor may, from time to time in its sole
discretion, institute one or more promotional incentive
programs, which will be paid for by the Distributor from the
sales charge it receives or from any other source available
to it. Under any such program, the Distributor will provide
promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other
compensation, including merchandise, airline vouchers, trips
and vacation packages, to all dealers selling shares of the
Portfolios. Such promotional incentives will be offered
uniformly to all shares of the Portfolios, and also will be
offered uniformly to all dealers, predicated upon the amount
of shares of the Portfolios sold by such dealer.
PERFORMANCE ____________________________________________________________________
From time to time, a Portfolio may advertise yield and total
return. These figures will be based on historical earnings
and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
yield of a Portfolio refers to the annualized income
generated by an investment in the Portfolio over a specified
30-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the
same amount of income generated by the investment during
that period is generated in each 30-day period over one year
and is shown as a percentage of the investment.
The total return of a Portfolio refers to the average
compounded rate of return to a hypothetical investment, net
of any sales charge imposed on Class D shares redeemed at
the end of the specified period covered by the total return
figure, for designated time periods (including but not
limited to, the period from which the Portfolio commenced
operations through the specified date), assuming that the
entire investment is redeemed at the end of each period and
assuming the reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain
distributions. The total return of a Portfolio may also be
quoted as a dollar amount or on an aggregate basis, an
actual basis, without inclusion of any front-end or
contingent sales charges, or with a reduced sales charge in
advertisements distributed to investors entitled to a
reduced sales charge.
A Portfolio may periodically compare its performance to
that of: (i) other mutual funds tracked by mutual fund
rating services (such as Lipper Analytical), financial and
business publications and periodicals; (ii) broad groups of
comparable mutual funds; (iii) unmanaged indices which may
assume investment of dividends but generally do not reflect
deductions for administrative and management costs; or (iv)
other investment alternatives. A Portfolio may quote
Morningstar, Inc., a service that ranks mutual funds on the
basis of risk-adjusted performance. A Portfolio may quote
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois, which provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the U.S. A
Portfolio may use long term performance of these capital
markets to demonstrate general long-term risk versus reward
scenarios and could include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of the capital markets. A Portfolio may
also quote financial and business publications and
periodicals as they relate to fund management, investment
philosophy, and investment techniques.
A Portfolio may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising and may compare these
measures to those of other funds. Measures of

fluctuations or total returns to a benchmark while measures
of benchmark correlation indicate how valid a comparative
benchmark might be. Measures of volatility and correlation
are calculated using averages of historical data and cannot
be calculated precisely.
For each Portfolio, the performance of Class A shares will
normally be higher than the performance of the Class D shares
of that Portfolio because of the additional distribution and
transfer agent expenses charged to Class D shares.
Additional performance information is set forth in the
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and is available upon

TAXES __________________________________________________________________________
The following summary of federal income tax consequences is
based on current tax laws and regulations, which may be
changed by legislative, judicial or administrative action. No
attempt has been made to present a detailed explanation of
the federal, state or local income tax treatment of a
Portfolio or its shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders are
urged to consult their tax advisers regarding specific
questions as to federal, state, and local income taxes. State
and local tax consequences of an investment in a Portfolio
may differ from the federal income tax consequences described
below. Additional information concerning taxes is set forth
in the Statement of Additional Information.
Tax Status of A Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal
the Portfolios income tax purposes and is not combined with the Trust's other
portfolios. Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify for
the special tax treatment afforded regulated investment
companies ("RICs") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), so as to be relieved of
federal income tax on net investment company taxable income
(including the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gains
over net long-term capital losses) and net capital gains (the
excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term
capital losses) distributed to shareholders.
Tax Status of Each Portfolio distributes substantially all of its net
Distributions investment company taxable income to shareholders. Dividends
from a Portfolio's net investment company taxable income are
taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income (whether
received in cash or in additional shares). Distributions of
net capital gains are taxable to shareholders as long-term
capital gains regardless of how long a shareholder has held
shares. Dividends and distributions received from a Portfolio
will not qualify for the corporate dividends-received
deduction. Each Portfolio will make annual reports to
shareholders of the federal income tax status of all
distributions.

Investments shares is $1,000; however, the minimum investment may be
waived at the Distributor's discretion. All subsequent
purchases must be at least $100 ($25 for payroll deductions
authorized pursuant to pre-approved payroll deduction plans).
The Trust reserves the right to reject a purchase order when
the Distributor determines that it is not in the best
interest of the Trust or its shareholders to accept such
order. In addition, because excessive trading (including
short-term "market timing" trading) can hurt a Portfolio's
performance, each Portfolio may refuse purchase orders from
any shareholder account if the accountholder has been advised
that previous purchase and redemption transactions were
considered excessive in
24

number or amount. Accounts under common control or
ownership, including those with the same taxpayer
identification number and those administered so as to redeem
or purchase shares based upon certain predetermined market
indicators, will be considered one account for this purpose.
Maintaining a Due to the relatively high cost of handling small
Minimum Account investments, a Portfolio reserves the right to redeem, at
Balance net asset value, the shares of any shareholder if, because
of redemptions of shares by or on behalf of the shareholder,
the account of such shareholder in a Portfolio has a value
of less than $1,000, the minimum initial purchase amount.
Accordingly, an investor purchasing shares of a Portfolio in
only the minimum investment amount may be subject to such
involuntary redemption if he or she thereafter redeems any
of these shares. Before a Portfolio exercises its right to
redeem such shares and to send the proceeds to the
shareholder, the shareholder will be given notice that the
value of the shares in his or her account is less than the
minimum amount and will be allowed 60 days to make an
additional investment in a Portfolio in an amount that will
increase the value of the account to at least $1,000. See
"Purchase and Redemption of Shares" in the Statement of
Additional Information for examples of when the right of
redemption may be suspended.
At various times, a Portfolio may receive a request to
redeem shares for which it has not yet received good
payment. In such circumstances, redemption proceeds will be
forwarded upon collection of payment for the shares;
collection of payment may take 10 or more days. A Portfolio
intends to pay cash for all shares redeemed, but under
abnormal conditions that make payment in cash unwise,
payment may be made wholly or partly in portfolio securities
with a market value equal to the redemption price. In such
cases, an investor may incur brokerage costs in converting
such securities to cash.
Net Asset Value An order to buy shares will be executed at a per share price
equal to the net asset value next determined after the
receipt of the purchase order by the Distributor plus any
applicable sales charge (the "offering price"). No
certificates representing shares will be issued. An order to
sell shares will be executed at the net asset value per
share next determined after receipt and effectiveness of a
request for redemption in good order. Net asset value per
share is determined as of the close of business of the New
York Stock Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on
each Business Day. Payment to shareholders for shares
redeemed will be made within seven days after receipt by the
Distributor of the redemption order.
How the Net The net asset value per share of a Portfolio is determined
Asset Value is by dividing the total market value of its investments and
Determined other assets, less any liabilities, by the total number of
outstanding shares of the Portfolio. A Portfolio may use a
pricing service to obtain the last sale price of each equity
or fixed income security held by a Portfolio. In addition,
portfolio securities are valued at the last quoted sales
price for such securities, or, if there is no such reported
sales price on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted
bid price. Unlisted securities for which market quotations
are readily available are valued at the most
25
<PAGE>
recent quoted bid price. Net asset value per share is
determined as of the close of business of the New York Stock
Exchange (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each Business
Day. Purchases will be made in full and fractional shares of
a Portfolio calculated to three decimal places. Although the
methodology and procedures for determining net asset value
per share are identical for both classes of a Portfolio, the
net asset value per share of one class may differ from that
of another class because of the different distribution fees
charged to each class and the incremental transfer agent
fees charged to Class D shares.
Rights of In calculating the sales charge rates applicable to current
Accumulation purchases of a Portfolio's shares, a "single purchaser"
(defined below) is entitled to combine current purchases
with the current market value of previously purchased shares
of a Portfolio and Class D shares of other portfolios
("Eligible Portfolios") which are sold subject to a
comparable sales charge.
The term "single purchaser" refers to (i) an individual,
(ii) an individual and spouse purchasing shares of a
Portfolio for their own account or for trust or custodial
accounts of their minor children, or (iii) a fiduciary
purchasing for any one trust, estate or fiduciary account,
including employee benefit plans created under Sections 401
or 457 of the Code, including related plans of the same
employer. Furthermore, under this provision, purchases by a
single purchaser shall include purchases by an individual
for his or her own account in combination with (i) purchases
of that individual and spouse for their joint accounts or
for trust and custodial accounts for their minor children
and (ii) purchases of that individual's spouse for his or
her own account. To be entitled to a reduced sales charge
based upon shares already owned, the investor must ask the
Transfer Agent for such reduction at the time of purchase
and provide the account number(s) of the investor, the
investor and spouse, and their children (under age 21). A
Portfolio may amend or terminate this right of accumulation
at any time as to subsequent purchases.
Letter of By submitting a Letter of Intent (the "Letter") to the
Intent Transfer Agent, a single purchaser may purchase shares of a
Portfolio and the other Eligible Portfolios during a 13-
month period at the reduced sales charge rates applying to
the aggregate amount of the intended purchases stated in the
Letter. The Letter may apply to purchases made up to 90 days
before the date of the Letter. It is the shareholder's
responsibility to notify SFM at the time the Letter is
submitted that there are prior purchases that may apply.
Five percent (5%) of the total amount intended to be
purchased will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent until
such purchase is completed within the 13-month period. The
13-month period begins on the date of the earliest purchase.
If the intended investment is not completed, SFM will
surrender an appropriate number of the escrowed shares for
redemption in order to realize the difference between the
sales charge on the shares purchased at the reduced rate and
the sales charge otherwise applicable to the total shares
purchased. Such purchasers may include the value of all
their shares of the Portfolio and of any of the other
Eligible Portfolios in the Trust towards the completion of
such Letter.
26

Sales Charge No sales charge is imposed on shares of a Portfolio: (i)
Waivers issued in plans of reorganization, such as mergers, asset
acquisitions and exchange offers, to which the Trust is a
party; (ii) sold to dealers or brokers that have a sales
agreement with the Distributor ("participating broker-
dealers"), for their own account or for retirement plans for
employees or sold to present employees of dealers or brokers
that certify to the Distributor at the time of purchase that
such purchase is for their own account; (iii) sold to
present employees of SEI or one of its affiliates, or of any
entity which is a current service provider to the Trust;
(iv) sold to tax-exempt organizations enumerated in Section
501(c) of the Code or qualified employee benefit plans
created under Sections 401, 403(b)(7) or 457 of the Code
(but not IRAs or SEPs); (v) sold to fee-based clients of
banks, financial planners and investment advisers; (vi) sold
to clients of trust companies and bank trust departments;
(vii) sold to trustees and officers of the Trust; (viii)
purchased with proceeds from the recent redemption of Class
D shares of another Portfolio of the Trust or another class
of shares of a portfolio of the Trust, SEI Tax-Exempt Trust,
SEI International Trust, SEI Liquid Asset Trust, SEI Index
Funds, or SEI Daily Income Trust; (ix) purchased with the
proceeds from the recent redemption of shares of a mutual
fund with similar investment objectives and policies for
which a front-end sales charge was paid (this offer will be
extended, to cover shares on which a deferred sales charge
was paid, if permitted under regulatory authorities'
interpretation of applicable law); or (x) sold to
participants or members of certain affinity groups, such as
trade associations or membership organizations, which have
entered into arrangements with the Distributor. Members of
affinity groups should see the Statement of Additional
Information or call the Transfer Agent for further
information regarding sales charge waivers.
An investor relying upon any of the categories of waivers
of sales charges must qualify such waiver in advance of the
purchase with the Transfer Agent or the financial
institution or the intermediary through which shares are
purchased by the investor.
The waiver of the sales charge under circumstances (viii)
and (ix) above applies only if the following conditions are
met: the purchase must be made within 60 days of the
redemption; the Transfer Agent must be notified in writing
by the investor, or his or her agent, at the time a purchase
is made; and a copy of the investor's account statement
showing such redemption must accompany such notice. The
waiver policy with respect to the purchase of shares through
the use of proceeds from a recent redemption as described in
clauses (viii) and (ix) above will not be continued
indefinitely and may be discontinued at any time without
notice. Investors should call 1-800-437-6016 to confirm
availability prior to initiating the procedures described in
clauses (viii) and (ix) above.
The Distributor has also entered into arrangements with
certain affinity groups and broker-dealers wherein their
members or clients are entitled to percentage-based
discounts from the otherwise applicable sales charge for
purchase of Class D shares. Currently the percentage-based
discount is either 10% or 50%. Members of affinity groups
and clients
27
<PAGE>
of broker-dealers should see the Statement of Additional
Information or contact the Transfer Agent for further
information.
Signature The Transfer Agent may require that the signatures on the
Guarantees written request be guaranteed. You should be able to obtain
a signature guarantee from a bank, broker, dealer, certain
credit unions, securities exchange or association, clearing
agency or savings association. Notaries public cannot
guarantee signatures. The signature guarantee requirement
will be waived if all of the following conditions apply: (1)
the redemption is for not more than $5,000 worth of shares,
(2) the redemption check is payable to the shareholder(s) of
record, and (3) the redemption check is mailed to the
shareholder(s) at his or her address of record. The Trust
and the Transfer Agent reserve the right to amend these
requirements without notice.
Telephone/Wire Redemption orders may be placed by telephone. Neither the
Instructions Trust nor the Transfer Agent will be responsible for any
loss, liability, cost or expense for acting upon wire
instructions or upon telephone instructions that it
reasonably believes to be genuine. The Trust and the
Transfer Agent will each employ reasonable procedures to
confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are
genuine, including requiring a form of personal
identification prior to acting upon instructions received by
telephone and recording telephone instructions. If market
conditions are extraordinarily active, or other
extraordinary circumstances exist, and you experience
difficulties placing redemption orders by telephone, you may
wish to consider placing your order by other means.
Systematic Please note that if withdrawals exceed income dividends,
Withdrawal Plan your invested principal in the account will be depleted.
("SWP") Thus, depending upon the frequency and amounts of the
withdrawal payments and/or any fluctuations in the net asset
value per share, your original investment could be exhausted
entirely. To participate in the SWP, you must have your
dividends automatically reinvested. You may change or cancel
the SWP at any time, upon written notice to the Transfer
Agent.
How to Close An account may be closed by providing written notice to the
your Account Transfer Agent. You may also close your account by telephone
if you have previously elected telephone options on your
account application.
GENERAL INFORMATION ____________________________________________________________
The Trust The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
under a Declaration of Trust dated October 20, 1986. The
Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to offer separate
series ("portfolios") of shares and different classes of
each portfolio. Shareholders may purchase shares in the
Portfolios through two separate classes: Class A and Class D
shares, which provide for variation in distribution and
transfer agent costs, voting rights, dividends, and the
imposition of a sales charge on the Class D shares. This
Prospectus offers the Class D shares of the Trust's Core
Fixed Income, Bond and High Yield Bond Portfolios.
Additional information pertaining to the Trust may be
obtained by writing to
28
<PAGE>
SEI Financial Management Corporation, 680 East Swedesford
Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658 or by calling 1-800-
437-6016. All consideration received by the Trust for shares
of any portfolio and all assets of such portfolio belong to
that portfolio and would be subject to liabilities related
thereto.
The Trust pays its expenses, including fees of its
service providers, audit and legal expenses, expenses of
preparing prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials and
reports to shareholders, costs of custodial services and
registering the shares under federal and state securities
laws, pricing, insurance expenses, including litigation and
other extraordinary expenses, brokerage costs, interest
charges, taxes and organization expenses.
Certain shareholders in one or more of the Portfolios may
obtain asset allocation services from the Adviser and other
financial intermediaries with respect to their investments
in such Portfolios. If a sufficient amount of a Portfolio's
assets are subject to such asset allocation services, a
Portfolio may incur higher transaction costs and a higher
portfolio turnover rate than would otherwise be anticipated
as a result of redemptions and purchases of Portfolio shares
pursuant to such services. Further, to the extent that the
Adviser is providing asset allocation services and providing
investment advice to the Portfolios, it may face conflicts
of interest in fulfilling its responsibilities because of
the possible differences between the interests of its asset
allocation clients and the interests of the Portfolios.
Trustees of the The management and affairs of the Trust are supervised by
Trust the Trustees under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The Trustees have approved contracts under
which, as described above, certain companies provide
essential management services to the Trust.
Voting Rights Each share held entitles the shareholder of record to one
vote. The shareholders of each Portfolio of the Trust will
vote separately on matters relating solely to that
Portfolio. The shareholders of each class will vote
separately on matters pertaining to its distribution plan.
As a Massachusetts business trust, the Trust is not required
to hold annual meetings of shareholders, but approval will
be sought for certain changes in the operation of the Trust
and for the election of Trustees under certain
circumstances. In addition, a Trustee may be removed by the
remaining Trustees or by shareholders at a special meeting
called upon written request of shareholders owning at least
10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust. In the event
that such a meeting is requested the Trust will provide
appropriate assistance and information to the shareholders
requesting the meeting.
Reporting The Trust issues unaudited financial statements semi-
annually and audited financial statements annually. The
Trust furnishes proxy statements and other reports to
shareholders of record.
Shareholder Shareholder inquiries should be directed to DST Systems,
Inquiries Inc., P.O. Box 419240, Kansas City, Missouri 64141-6240.

Dividends Substantially all of the net investment income (exclusive of
capital gains) of the Portfolios is declared daily and paid
monthly as a dividend. Currently, net capital gains (the
excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term
capital loss) realized, if any, will be distributed at least
annually.
Shareholders automatically receive all income dividends
and capital gain distributions in additional shares at the
net asset value next determined following the record date,
unless the shareholder has elected to take such payment in
cash. Shareholders may change their election by providing
written notice to SFM at least 15 days prior to the
distribution.
Dividends and capital gains of a Portfolio are paid on a
per-share basis. The value of each share will be reduced by
the amount of any such payment. If shares are purchased
shortly before the record date for dividend of capital gains
distributions, a shareholder will pay the full price for the
shares and receive some portion of the price back as a
taxable dividend or distribution.
The dividends on Class D shares will normally be lower
than on Class A shares of a Portfolio because of the
additional distribution and transfer agent expenses charged
to Class D shares.

DESCRIPTION OF
PERMITTED
INVESTMENTS AND
RISK FACTORS _________________________________________________________________
The following is a description of the permitted investment
practices for the Portfolios, and the associated risk
factors:
Asset-Backed Asset-backed securities are securities secured by non-
Securities mortgage assets such as company receivables, truck and auto
loans, leases and credit card receivables. Such securities
are generally issued as pass-through certificates, which
represent undivided fractional ownership interests in the
underlying pools of assets. Such securities also may be debt
instruments, which are also known as collateralized
obligations and are generally issued as the debt of a
special purpose entity, such as a trust, organized solely
for the purpose of owning such assets and issuing such debt.
Asset-backed securities are not issued or guaranteed by
the United States Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities; however, the payment of principal and
interest on such obligations may be guaranteed up to certain
amounts and for a certain period by a letter of credit
issued by a financial institution (such as a bank or
insurance
30
<PAGE>
company) unaffiliated with the issuers of such securities.
The purchase of asset-backed securities raises risk
considerations peculiar to the financing of the instruments
underlying such securities. For example, there is a risk
that another party could acquire an interest in the
obligations superior to that of the holders of the asset-
backed securities. There also is the possibility that
recoveries on repossessed collateral may not, in some cases,
be available to support payments on those securities. Asset-
backed securities entail prepayment risk, which may vary
depending on the type of asset, but is generally less than
the prepayment risk associated with mortgage-backed
securities. In addition, credit card receivables are
unsecured obligations of the card holders.
The market for asset-backed securities is at a relatively
early stage of development. Accordingly, there may be a
limited secondary market for such securities.
Convertible Convertible securities are corporate securities that are
Securities exchangeable for a set number of another security at a
prestated price. Convertible securities typically have
characteristics similar to both fixed-income and equity
securities. Because of the conversion feature, the market
value of a convertible security tends to move with the
market value of the underlying stock. The value of a
convertible security is also affected by prevailing interest
rates, the credit quality of the issuer, and any call
provisions.
Derivatives Derivatives are securities that derive their value from
other securities. The following are considered derivative
securities: options on futures, futures, options (e.g., puts
and calls), swap agreements, mortgage-backed securities
(e.g., CMOs, REMICs, IOs and POs), when-issued securities
and forward commitments, floating and variable rate
securities, convertible securities, "stripped" U.S. Treasury
securities (e.g., receipts and STRIPs) and privately issued
stripped securities (e.g., TGRs, TRs and CATS). See
elsewhere in this "Description of Permitted Investments and
Risk Factors" for discussions of these various instruments,
and see "Investment Objectives and Policies" for more
information about any investment policies and limitations
applicable to their use.
Equity Equity securities represent ownership interests in a company
Securities or corporation and include common stock, preferred stock and
warrants and other rights to acquire such instruments.
Changes in the value of portfolio securities will not
necessarily affect cash income derived from these securities
but will affect a Portfolio's net asset value.
Fixed Income Fixed income securities are debt obligations issued by
Securities corporations, municipalities and other borrowers. Moreover,
while securities with longer maturities tend to produce
higher yields, the prices of longer maturity securities are
also subject to greater market fluctuations as a result of
changes in interest rates.
Forward Foreign A forward contract involves an obligation to purchase or
Currency sell a specific currency amount at a future date, agreed
Contracts upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the
contract. A Portfolio may also enter into a contract to
sell, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars or other
appropriate currency, the amount of foreign currency
approximating the value of some or all of a Portfolio's
securities denominated in such foreign currency.
31
<PAGE>
At the maturity of a forward contract, a Portfolio may
either sell a portfolio security and make delivery of the
foreign currency, or it may retain the security and
terminate its contractual obligation to deliver the foreign
currency by purchasing an "offsetting" contract with the
same currency trader, obligating it to purchase, on the same
maturity date, the same amount of the foreign currency. A
Portfolio may realize a gain or loss from currency
transactions.
Futures and Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party
Options on and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a
Futures specific security at a specified future time and at a
specified price. An option on a futures contract gives the
purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a
position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price
during the term of the option. A Portfolio may use futures
contracts and related options for bona fide hedging
purposes, to offset changes in the value of securities held
or expected to be acquired or be disposed of, to minimize
fluctuations in foreign currencies, or to gain exposure to a
particular market or instrument. A Portfolio will minimize
the risk that it will be unable to close out a futures
contract by only entering into futures contracts that are
traded on national futures exchanges.
A bond index futures contract is a bilateral agreement
pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery
of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount
times the difference between the bond index value at the
close of trading of the contract and the price at which the
futures contract is originally struck. No physical delivery
of the bonds comprising the index is made; generally futures
contracts are closed out prior to the expiration date of the
contract.
No price is paid upon entering into futures contracts.
Instead, a Portfolio would be required to deposit an amount
of cash or U.S. Treasury securities known as "initial
margin." Subsequent payments, called "variation margin," to
and from the broker, would be made on a daily basis as the
value of the futures position varies (a process known as
"marking to market"). The margin is in the nature of a
performance bond or good-faith deposit on a futures
contract.
Eurodollar instruments are U.S. dollar-denominated
futures contracts or options thereon which are linked to the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), although foreign
currency denominated instruments are available from time to
time. Eurodollar futures contracts enable purchasers to
obtain a fixed rate for the lending of funds and sellers to
obtain a fixed rate for borrowings.
In order to avoid leveraging and related risks, when a
Portfolio purchases futures contracts, it will collateralize
its position by depositing an amount of cash or liquid, high
grade debt securities, equal to the market value of the
futures positions held, less margin deposits, in a
segregated account with the Trust's Custodian. Collateral
equal to the current market value of the futures position
will be marked to market on a daily basis.
There are risks associated with these activities,
including the following: (1) the success of a hedging
strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in
the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets
and movements in interest rates, (2) there
32
<PAGE>
may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in
market value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the
prices of futures and options on futures, (3) there may not
be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract or
option, (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be
imposed by an exchange, and (5) government regulations may
restrict trading in futures contracts and options on
futures.
A Portfolio may enter into futures contracts and options
on futures contracts traded on an exchange regulated by the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), so long as,
to the extent that such transactions are not for "bona fide
hedging purposes," the aggregate initial margin and premiums
on such positions (excluding the amount by which such
options are in the money) do not exceed 5% of the
Portfolio's net assets. A Portfolio may buy and sell futures
contracts and related options to manage its exposure to
changing interest rates and securities prices. Some
strategies reduce a Portfolio's exposure to price
fluctuations, while others tend to increase its market
exposure. Futures and options on futures can be volatile
instruments and involve certain risks that could negatively
impact a Portfolio's return.
Illiquid Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be disposed
Securities of within seven business days at approximately the price at
which they are being carried on a Portfolio's books.
Illiquid securities include demand instruments with a demand
notice period exceeding seven days, where there is no
secondary market for such security, and repurchase
agreements with durations (or maturities) over 7 days in
length.
Junk Bonds Bonds rated below investment grade are often referred to as
"junk bonds." Such securities involve greater risk of
default or price declines than investment grade securities
due to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness and the
outlook for economic growth. The market for these securities
may be less active, causing market price volatility and
limited liquidity in the secondary market. This may limit a
Portfolio's ability to sell such securities at their market
value. In addition, the market for these securities may also
be adversely affected by legislative and regulatory
developments. Credit quality in the junk bond market can
change suddenly and unexpectedly, and even recently issued
credit ratings may not fully reflect the actual risks
imposed by a particular security. See also the "Risk
Factors" section.
Money Market Money market securities are high-quality, dollar-
Securities denominated, short-term debt instruments. They consist of:
(i) bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposits, notes
and time deposits of highly-rated U.S. banks and U.S.
branches of foreign banks; (ii) U.S. Treasury obligations
and obligations issued or guaranteed by the agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government; (iii) high-quality
commercial paper issued by U.S. and foreign corporations;
(iv) debt obligations with a maturity of one year of less
issued by corporations with outstanding high-quality
commercial paper; and (v) repurchase agreements involving
any of the foregoing obligations entered into with highly-
rated banks and broker-dealers.
33
<PAGE>
Mortgage-Backed Mortgage-backed securities are instruments that entitle the
Securities holder to a share of all interest and principal payments
from mortgages underlying the security. The mortgages
backing these securities include conventional fifteen and
thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages, graduated payment
mortgages, and adjustable rate mortgages and balloon
mortgages. Prepayment of mortgages which underlie securities
purchased at a premium often results in capital losses,
while prepayment of mortgages purchased at a discount often
results in capital gains. Because of these unpredictable
prepayment characteristics, it is often not possible to
predict accurately the average life or realized yield of a
particular issue.
Government Pass-Through Securities: These are securities
that are issued or guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency
representing an interest in a pool of mortgage loans. The
primary issuers or guarantors of these mortgage-backed
securities are GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. FNMA and FHLMC
obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Government as GNMA certificates are, but FNMA and
FHLMC securities are supported by the instrumentalities'
right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC
each guarantees timely distributions of interest to
certificate holders. GNMA and FNMA also each guarantees
timely distributions of scheduled principal. FHLMC has in
the past guaranteed only the ultimate collection of
principal of the underlying mortgage loan; however, FHLMC
now issues mortgage-backed securities (FHLMC Gold PCs) which
also guarantee timely payment of monthly principal
reductions. Government and private guarantees do not extend
to the securities' value, which is likely to vary inversely
with fluctuations in interest rates.
Private Pass-Through Securities: These are mortgage-
backed securities issued by a non-governmental entity, such
as a trust or corporate entity. These securities include
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate
mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs") and commercial
mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"). While they are
generally structured with one or more types of credit
enhancement, private pass-through securities typically lack
a guarantee by an entity having the credit status of a
governmental agency or instrumentality.
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities ("CMBS"): CMBS are
generally multi-class or pass-through securities backed by a
mortgage loan or a pool of mortgage loans secured by
commercial property, such as industrial and warehouse
properties, office buildings, retail space and shopping
malls, multifamily properties and cooperative apartments.
The commercial mortgage loans that underlie CMBS have
certain distinct characteristics. Commercial mortgage loans
are generally not amortizing or not fully amortizing. That
is, at their maturity date, repayment of the remaining
principal balance or "balloon" is due and is repaid through
the attainment of an additional loan of sale of the
property. Unlike most single family residential mortgages,
commercial real estate property loans often contain
provisions which substantially reduce the likelihood that
such securities will be prepaid. The provisions generally
impose significant prepayment penalties on loans and, in
come cases there may be prohibitions on principal
prepayments for several years following origination.
34
<PAGE>
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs"): CMOs are
debt obligations or multiclass pass-through certificates
issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S.
Government or by private originators or investors in
mortgage loans. In a CMO, series of bonds or certificates
are usually issued in multiple classes. Principal and
interest paid on the underlying mortgage assets may be
allocated among the several classes of a series of a CMO in
a variety of ways. Each class of a CMO, often referred to as
a "tranche," is issued with a specific fixed or floating
coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution
date. Principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets
may cause CMOs to be retired substantially earlier then
their stated maturities or final distribution dates,
resulting in a loss of all or part of any premium paid.
REMICs: A REMIC is a CMO that qualifies for special tax
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code and invests in
certain mortgages principally secured by interests in real
property. Investors may purchase beneficial interests in
REMICs, which are known as "regular" interests, or
"residual" interests. Guaranteed REMIC pass-through
certificates ("REMIC Certificates") issued by FNMA or FHLMC
represent beneficial ownership interests in a REMIC trust
consisting principally of mortgage loans or FNMA, FHLMC or
GNMA-guaranteed mortgage pass-through certificates. For
FHLMC REMIC Certificates, FHLMC guarantees the timely
payment of interest, and also guarantees the payment of
principal as payments are required to be made on the
underlying mortgage participation certificates. FNMA REMIC
Certificates are issued and guaranteed as to timely
distribution of principal and interest by FNMA.
Parallel Pay Securities; PAC Bonds: Parallel pay CMOs and
REMICS are structured to provide payments of principal on
each payment date to more than one class. These simultaneous
payments are taken into account in calculating the stated
maturity date or final distribution date of each class,
which must be retired by its stated maturity date or final
distribution date, but may be retired earlier. Planned
Amortization Class CMOs ("PAC Bonds") generally require
payments of a specified amount of principal on each payment
date. PAC Bonds are always parallel pay CMOs with the
required principal payment on such securities having the
highest priority after interest has been paid to all
classes.
REITs: REITs are trusts that invest primarily in
commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. The
value of interests in REITs may be affected by the value of
the property owned or the quality of the mortgages held by
the trust.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities ("SMBs"): SMBs are
usually structured with two classes that receive specified
proportions of the monthly interest and principal payments
from a pool of mortgage securities. One class may receive
all of the interest payments and is thus termed an interest-
only class ("IO"), while the other class may receive all of
the principal payments and is thus termed the principal-only
class ("PO"). The value of IOs tends to increase as rates
rise and decrease as rates fall; the opposite is true of
POs. SMBs are extremely sensitive to changes in interest
rates because of the impact thereon of prepayment of
principal on the underlying mortgage securities can
experience
35
<PAGE>
wide swings in value in response to changes in interest
rates and associated mortgage prepayment rates. During times
when interest rates are experiencing fluctuations, such
securities can be difficult to price on a consistent basis.
The market for SMBs is not as fully developed as other
markets; SMBs, therefore, may be illiquid.
Risk Factors: Due to the possibility of prepayments of
the underlying mortgage instruments, mortgage-backed
securities generally do not have a known maturity. In the
absence of a known maturity, market participants generally
refer to an estimated average life. An average life estimate
is a function of an assumption regarding anticipated
prepayment patterns, based upon current interest rates,
current conditions in the relevant housing markets and other
factors. The assumption is necessarily subjective, and thus
different market participants can produce different average
life estimates with regard to the same security. There can
be no assurance that estimated average life will be a
security's actual average life.
Mortgage Dollar Mortgage "dollar rolls" are transactions in which mortgage-
Rolls backed securities are sold for delivery in the current month
and the seller simultaneously contracts to repurchase
substantially similar securities on a specified future date.
Any difference between the sale price and the purchase price
is netted against the interest income foregone on the
securities sold to arrive at an implied borrowing rate.
Alternatively, the sale and purchase transactions can be
executed at the same price, with the Portfolio being paid a
fee as consideration for entering into the commitment to
purchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed prior to cash
settlement and initially may involve only a firm commitment
agreement by the Portfolio to buy a security. If the broker-
dealer to whom the Portfolio sells the security becomes
insolvent, the Portfolio's right to repurchase the security
may be restricted. Other risks involved in entering into
mortgage dollar rolls include the risk that the value of the
security may change adversely over the term of the mortgage
dollar roll and that the security the Portfolio is required
to repurchase may be worth less than the security that the
Portfolio originally held.
To avoid any leveraging concerns, the Portfolio will
place U.S. Government or other liquid, high grade debt
securities in a segregated account with the Trust's
Custodian in an amount sufficient to cover its repurchase
obligation.
Municipal Municipal securities consist of (i) debt obligations issued
Securities by or on behalf of public authorities to obtain funds to be
used for various public facilities, for refunding
outstanding obligations, for general operating expenses, and
for lending such funds to other public institutions and
facilities, and (ii) certain private activity and industrial
development bonds issued by or on behalf of public
authorities to obtain funds to provide for the construction,
equipment, repair or improvement of privately operated
facilities.
General obligation bonds are backed by the taxing power
of the issuing municipality. Revenue bonds are backed by the
revenues of a project or facility (tolls from a bridge, for
example). Certificates of participation represent an
interest in an underlying obligation or commitment, such as
an obligation issued in connection with a leasing
36
<PAGE>
arrangement. The payment of principal and interest on
private activity and industrial development bonds generally
is dependent solely on the ability of a facility's user to
meet its financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of
real and personal property as security for such payment.
Municipal securities include both municipal notes and
municipal bonds. Municipal notes include general obligation
notes, tax anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes,
bond anticipation notes, certificates of indebtedness,
demand notes and construction loan notes and participation
interests in municipal notes. Municipal bonds include
general obligation bonds, revenue or special obligation
bonds, private activity and industrial development bonds and
participation interests in municipal bonds.
Options A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to
sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy,
the underlying security at any time during the option
period. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the
right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to
sell, the underlying security at any time during the option
period. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration
for undertaking the obligations under the option contract.
The initial purchase (sale) of an option contract is an
"opening transaction." In order to close out an option
position, a Portfolio may enter into a "closing
transaction," which is simply the sale (purchase) of an
option contract on the same security with the same exercise
price and expiration date as the option contract originally
opened. If a Portfolio is unable to effect a closing
transaction with respect to an option it has written, it
will not be able to sell the underlying security until the
option expires or the Portfolio delivers the security upon
exercise.
A Portfolio may purchase put and call options to protect
against a decline in the market value of the securities in
its portfolio or to anticipate an increase in the market
value of securities that the Portfolio may seek to purchase
in the future. A Portfolio purchasing put and call options
pays a premium therefor. If price movements in the
underlying securities are such that exercise of the options
would not be profitable for the Portfolio, loss of the
premium paid may be offset by an increase in the value of
the Portfolio's securities or by a decrease in the cost of
acquisition of securities by the Portfolio.
A Portfolio may write covered call options as a means of
increasing the yield on its portfolio and as a means of
providing limited protection against decreases in its market
value. When a Portfolio sells an option, if the underlying
securities do not increase or decrease to a price level that
would make the exercise of the option profitable to the
holder thereof, the option generally will expire without
being exercised and the Portfolio will realize as profit the
premium received for such option. When a call option written
by a Portfolio is exercised, the Portfolio will be required
to sell the underlying securities to the option holder at
the strike price, and will not participate in any increase
in the price of such securities above the strike price. When
a put option written by a Portfolio is exercised, the
Portfolio will be required to purchase the underlying
securities at the strike price, which may be in excess of
the market value of such securities.
37
<PAGE>
A Portfolio may purchase and write options on an exchange
or over-the-counter. Over-the-counter options ("OTC
options") differ from exchange-traded options in several
respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not
with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk
of non-performance by the dealer. OTC options are available
for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of
expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for
exchange-traded options. Because OTC options are not traded
on an exchange, pricing is done normally by reference to
information from a market maker. It is the position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that OTC options are
generally illiquid.
A Portfolio may purchase and write put and call options
on foreign currencies (traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges
or over-the-counter markets) to manage its exposure to
exchange rates. Call options on foreign currency written by
a Portfolio will be "covered," which means that the
Portfolio will own an equal amount of the underlying foreign
currency. With respect to put options on foreign currency
written by a Portfolio, the Portfolio will establish a
segregated account with its Custodian consisting of cash or
liquid, high grade debt securities in an amount equal to the
amount the Portfolio would be required to pay upon exercise
of the put.
A Portfolio may purchase and write put and call options
on indices and enter into related closing transactions. Put
and call options on indices are similar to options on
securities except that options on an index give the holder
the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount
of cash if the closing level of the underlying index is
greater than (or less than, in the case of puts) the
exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal
to the difference between the closing price of the index and
the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars
multiplied by a specified number. Thus, unlike options on
individual securities, all settlements are in cash, and gain
or loss depends on price movements in the particular market
represented by the index generally, rather than the price
movements in individual securities. A Portfolio may choose
to terminate an option position by entering into a closing
transaction. The ability of a Portfolio to enter into
closing transactions depends upon the existence of a liquid
secondary market for such transactions.
All options written on indices must be covered. When a
Portfolio writes an option on an index, it will establish a
segregated account containing cash or liquid, high grade
debt securities with its Custodian in an amount at least
equal to the market value of the option and will maintain
the account while the option is open or will otherwise cover
the transaction.
Risk Factors. Risks associated with options transactions
include: (1) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on
an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual
securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in
interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect correlation
between the movement in prices of options and the securities
underlying them; (3) there may not be a liquid secondary
market for options; and (4)
38
<PAGE>
while a Portfolio will receive a premium when it writes
covered call options, it may not participate fully in a rise
in the market value of the underlying security.
Receipts Receipts are sold as zero coupon securities, which means
that they are sold at a substantial discount and redeemed at
face value at their maturity date without interim cash
payments of interest or principal. This discount is accreted
over the life of the security, and such accretion will
constitute the income earned on the security for both
accounting and tax purposes. Because of these features, such
securities may be subject to greater interest rate
volatility than interest paying Permitted Investments. See
also "Taxes."
Repurchase Agreements by which a Portfolio obtains a security and
Agreements simultaneously commits to return the security to the seller
at an agreed upon price (including principal and interest)
on an agreed upon date within a number of days from the date
of purchase. The Custodian or its agent will hold the
security as collateral for the repurchase agreement.
Collateral must be maintained at a value at least equal to
102% of the purchase price. The Portfolio bears a risk of
loss in the event the other party defaults on its
obligations and the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from
exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities
or if the Portfolio realizes a loss on the sale of the
collateral securities. An adviser will enter into repurchase
agreements on behalf of the Portfolio only with financial
institutions deemed to present minimal risk of bankruptcy
during the term of the agreement based on guidelines
established and periodically reviewed by the Trustees.
Repurchase agreements are considered loans under the 1940
Act.
Securities In order to generate additional income, a Portfolio may lend
Lending securities which it owns pursuant to agreements requiring
that the loan be continuously secured by collateral
consisting of cash or securities of the U.S. Government or
its agencies equal to at least 100% of the market value of
the loaned securities. A Portfolio continues to receive
interest on the loaned securities while simultaneously
earning interest on the investment of cash collateral.
Collateral is marked to market daily. There may be risks of
delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights
in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail
financially or become insolvent.
Securities of There are certain risks connected with investing in foreign
Foreign Issuers securities. These include risks of adverse political and
economic developments (including possible governmental
seizure or nationalization of assets), the possible
imposition of exchange controls or other governmental
restrictions, less uniformity in accounting and reporting
requirements, the possibility that there will be less
information on such securities and their issuers available
to the public, the difficulty of obtaining or enforcing
court judgments abroad, restrictions on foreign investments
in other jurisdictions, difficulties in effecting
repatriation of capital invested abroad, and difficulties in
transaction settlements and the effect of delay on
shareholder equity. Foreign securities may be subject to
foreign taxes, and may be less marketable than comparable
U.S. securities. The value of a Portfolio's investments
denominated in foreign currencies will depend on the
relative strengths of those currencies
39
<PAGE>
and the U.S. dollar, and a Portfolio may be affected
favorably or unfavorably by changes in the exchange rates or
exchange control regulations between foreign currencies and
the U.S. dollar. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates
also may affect the value of dividends and interest earned,
gains and losses realized on the sale of securities and net
investment income and gains, if any, to be distributed to
shareholders by a Portfolio.
U.S. Government Obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies of the U.S.
Agency Government, including, among others, the Federal Farm Credit
Obligations Bank, the Federal Housing Administration and the Small
Business Administration, and obligations issued or
guaranteed by instrumentalities of the U.S. Government,
including, among others, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, the Federal Land Banks and the U.S. Postal
Service. Some of these securities are supported by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury (e.g., Government
----
National Mortgage Association securities), others are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
Treasury (e.g., Federal Farm Credit Bank securities), while
----
still others are supported only by the credit of the
instrumentality (e.g., Federal National Mortgage Association
securities). Guarantees of principal by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may be a guarantee
of payment at the maturity of the obligation so that in the
event of a default prior to maturity there might not be a
market and thus no means of realizing on the obligation
prior to maturity. Guarantees as to the timely payment of
principal and interest do not extend to the value or yield
of these securities nor to the value of the Portfolio's
shares.
U.S. Treasury U.S. Treasury obligations consist of bills, notes and bonds
Obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury as well as separately traded
interest and principal component parts of such obligations
known as Separately Traded Registered Interest and Principal
Securities ("STRIPS") that are transferable through the
Federal book-entry system.
U.S. Treasury U.S. Treasury receipts are interests in separately traded
Receipts interest and principal component parts of U.S. Treasury
obligations that are issued by banks or brokerage firms and
are created by depositing U.S. Treasury obligations into a
special account at a custodian bank. The custodian holds the
interest and principal payments for the benefit of the
registered owners of the certificates of receipts. The
custodian arranges for the issuance of the certificates or
receipts evidencing ownership and maintains the register.
Receipts include "Treasury Receipts" ("TRs"), "Treasury
Investment Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs"), "Liquid Yield Option
Notes" ("LYONs") and "Certificates of Accrual on Treasury
Securities" ("CATS"). LYONs, TIGRs and CATS are interests in
private proprietary accounts, while TRs are interests in
accounts sponsored by the U.S. Treasury.
Variable and Certain obligations may carry variable or floating rates of
Floating Rate interest, and may involve a conditional or unconditional
Instruments demand feature. Such instruments bear interest at rates
which are not fixed, but which vary with changes in
specified market rates or indices. The interest rates on
these securities may be reset daily, weekly, quarterly or
some other reset period, and may have a floor or ceiling on
interest rate changes. There is a risk that the
40
<PAGE>
current interest rate on such obligations may not accurately
reflect existing market interest rates. A demand instrument
with a demand notice exceeding seven days may be considered
illiquid if there is no secondary market for such security.
Each Portfolio may invest in variable and floating rate
instruments.
Warrants Warrants are instruments giving holders the right, but not
the obligation, to buy shares of a company at a given price
during a specified period.
When-Issued and When-issued or delayed delivery transactions involve the
Delayed purchase of an instrument with payment and delivery taking
Delivery place in the future. Delivery of and payment for these
Securities, securities may occur a month or more after the date of the
including TBA purchase commitment. The Portfolio will maintain with the
Mortgage-Backed Custodian a separate account with liquid, high grade debt
Securities securities or cash in an amount at least equal to these
commitments. The interest rate realized on these securities
is fixed as of the purchase date, and no interest accrues to
the Portfolio before settlement. These securities are
subject to market fluctuation due to changes in market
interest rates, and it is possible that the market value at
the time of settlement could be higher or lower than the
purchase price if the general level of interest rates has
changed. Although a Portfolio generally purchases securities
on a when-issued or forward commitment basis with the
intention of actually acquiring such securities, a Portfolio
may dispose of a when-issued security or forward commitment
prior to settlement if the advisers deem it appropriate to
do so.
One form of when-issued or delayed-delivery security that
a Portfolio may purchase is a "to be announced" ("TBA")
mortgage-backed security. A TBA mortgage-backed security
transaction arises when a mortgage-backed security, such as
a GNMA pass-through security, is purchased or sold with
specific pools that will constitute that GNMA pass-through
security to be announced on a future settlement date.
Yankee Yankee obligations ("Yankees") are U.S. dollar-denominated
Obligations instruments of foreign issuers who either register with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or issue securities under
Rule 144A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as
amended. These consist of debt securities (including
preferred or preference stock of non-governmental issuers),
certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers'
acceptances issued by foreign banks, and debt obligations of
foreign governments or their subdivisions, agencies and
instrumentalities, international agencies and supranational
entities. Some securities issued by foreign governments or
their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities may not
be backed by the full faith and credit of the foreign
government. Yankee obligations, as obligations of foreign
issuers, are subject to the same types of risks discussed in
"Securities of Foreign Issuers," above.
The yankee obligations selected for the Portfolio will
adhere to the same quality standards as those utilized for
the selection of domestic debt obligations.

Zero Coupon, Zero coupon securities are securities that are sold at a
Pay-In-Kind and discount to par value and securities on which interest
Deferred payments are not made during the life of the security. Upon
Payment maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the par value of
Securities the security. While interest payments are not made on such
securities, holders of such securities are deemed to have
received "phantom income" annually. Because a Portfolio will
distribute its "phantom income" to
shareholders, to the extent that shareholders elect to
receive dividends in cash rather than reinvesting such
dividends in additional shares, a Portfolio will have fewer
assets with which to purchase income producing securities.
Alternatively, shareholders may have to redeem shares to pay
tax on this "phantom income." In either case, the Portfolio
may have to dispose of its portfolio securities under
disadvantageous circumstances to generate cash, or may have
to leverage itself by borrowing cash to satisfy distribution
requirements. A Portfolio accrues income with respect to the
securities prior to the receipt of cash payments. Pay-in-
kind securities are securities that have interest payable by
delivery of additional securities. Deferred payment
securities are securities that remain zero coupon securities
until a predetermined date, at which time the stated coupon
rate becomes effective and interest becomes payable at
regular intervals. In the event of adverse market
conditions, zero coupon, pay-in-kind and deferred payment
securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value
and may be less liquid than comparably rated securities
paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods.

There can be no assurance that the Portfolios will achieve
their investment objectives.
LARGE CAP The Large Cap Value Portfolio seeks to provide long-term
VALUE growth of capital and income by investing primarily in a
PORTFOLIO diversified portfolio of high quality, income producing common
stocks which, in the advisers' opinion, are undervalued at
the time of purchase.

GROWTH appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of
PORTFOLIO large companies.
SMALL CAP The Small Cap Value Portfolio seeks to provide capital
VALUE appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of
PORTFOLIO small companies.
SMALL CAP The Small Cap Growth Portfolio seeks to provide long-term
GROWTH capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity
PORTFOLIO securities of smaller companies that the advisers believe
are in an early stage or transitional point in their
development and have demonstrated or have the potential for
above average capital growth.
MID-CAP The Mid-Cap Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital
PORTFOLIO appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of
medium sized companies that the advisers believe are well
established but have not reached full maturity, and may offer
significant growth potential.

PHILOSOPHY
Believing that no single investment adviser can deliver outstanding perfor-
mance in every investment category, only those advisers who have distin-
guished themselves within their areas of specialization are selected to
advise our mutual funds.
................................................................................
UNDERSTANDING Shares of the Portfolios, like shares of any mutual fund,
RISK will fluctuate in value and when you sell your shares, they
may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. Each
Portfolio may invest in equity securities that are affected
by market and economic factors, and may invest in fixed in-
come securities that tend to vary inversely with interest
rates and may be affected by other market and economic fac-
tors as well, which may cause these securities to fluctuate
in value. In addition, the Small Cap Value and Small Cap
Growth Portfolios may invest in equity securities of smaller
companies, which involve greater risk than is customarily as-
sociated with investments in larger, more established compa-
nies. See "Investment Objectives and Policies," "Risk Fac-
tors" and "Description of Permitted Investments and Risk Fac-
tors."

THE EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.
The purpose of the expense table and example is to assist the investor in
understanding the various costs and expenses that may be directly or indirectly
borne by investors in Class D shares of each Portfolio. A person who purchases
shares through an account with a financial institution may be charged separate
fees by that institution. The information set forth in the foregoing table and
example relates only to the Class D shares. Each Portfolio also offers Class A
shares, which are subject to the same expenses, except that there are no sales
charges, different distribution costs and no transfer agent costs. Additional
information may be found under "The Manager and Shareholder Servicing Agent,"
"The Adviser," "The Sub-Advisers" and "Distribution."
The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission require that the maximum
sales charge be reflected in the above table. However, certain investors may
qualify for reduced sales charges. See "Purchase of Shares." Long-term
shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end
sales charges otherwise permitted by the Rules of Fair Practice of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD").

medium-sized companies (i.e., companies with market
capitalizations of $500 million to $5 billion). Such

securities must be rated in one of the top two rating
categories by an NRSRO, or if not, rated, determined to be
of comparable quality by the Portfolio's advisers. To the
extent the Portfolio is engaged in temporary defensive

EQUITY INCOME The investment objective of the Equity Income Portfolio (the
PORTFOLIO "Portfolio") is current income and, as a secondary
objective, moderate capital appreciation. There is no
assurance that the Portfolio will achieve its investment
objectives.
Under normal market conditions, at least 65% of the
Portfolio's assets will be invested in a diversified
portfolio of common stocks. The investment approach employed
by the adviser emphasizes income-producing common stocks
which, in general, have above-average dividend yields
relative to the stock market as measured by Standard &
Poor's Corporation 500 Index.
Any remaining assets may be invested in investment grade
fixed income securities and other types of equity
securities. Debt securities rated BBB or Baa lack
outstanding investment characteristics, and have speculative
characteristics as well. Equity securities include common
stock, preferred stock, warrants and rights to subscribe to
common stock and, in general, any security that is
convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.

For additional information regarding the Portfolios'
permitted investments, see "Risk Factors" and "Description
of Permitted Investments and Risk Factors" in this
Prospectus and "Description of Permitted Investments" in the
Statement of Additional Information. For a description of
the above ratings, see "Description of Ratings" in the
Statement of Additional Information.
RISK FACTORS ___________________________________________________________________
Equity Investments in equity securities in general are subject to
Securities market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over
time. The value of convertible equity securities is also
affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of
the issuer and any call provision. Fluctuations in the value
of equity securities in which a Portfolio invests will cause
the net asset value of the Portfolio to fluctuate.
Investments in small capitalization companies involves
greater risk than is customarily associated with larger,
more established companies due to the greater business risks
of small size, limited markets and financial resources,
narrow product lines and the frequent lack of depth of
management. The securities of small companies are often
traded over-the-counter and may not be traded in volumes
typical on a national securities exchange. Consequently, the
securities of smaller companies may have limited market
stability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
market movements than securities of larger, more established
growth companies or the market averages in general.
Fixed Income The market value of a Portfolio's fixed income investments
Securities will change in response to interest rate changes and other
factors. During periods of falling interest rates, the
values of outstanding fixed income securities generally
rise. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates,
the values of such securities generally decline. Securities
with longer maturities are subject to greater fluctuations
in value than securities with shorter
16
<PAGE>
maturities. Changes by an NRSRO in the rating of any fixed
income security and in the ability of an issuer to make
payments of interest and principal also affect the value of
these investments. Changes in the value of a Portfolio's
securities will not affect cash income derived from these
securities but will affect the Portfolio's net asset value.
Securities rated BBB or Baa by an NRSRO (investment grade
bonds) are deemed by these rating services to have
speculative characteristics.
Securities held by a Portfolio that are guaranteed by the
U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities guarantee
only the payment of principal and interest on the guaranteed
securities, and do not guarantee the securities' yield or
value or the yield or value of a Portfolio's shares.
INVESTMENT
LIMITATIONS ____________________________________________________________________
The investment objective and investment limitations are
fundamental policies of the Portfolios. Fundamental policies
cannot be changed with respect to the Trust or a Portfolio
without the consent of the holders of a majority of the
Trust's or that Portfolio's outstanding shares.
No Portfolio may:
1. With respect to 75% of its assets, (i) purchase the
securities of any issuer (except securities issued or
guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of
its total assets would be invested in the securities of
such issuer; or (ii) acquire more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of any one issuer.
2. Purchase any securities which would cause more than 25%
of the total assets of the Portfolio to be invested in
the securities of one or more issuers conducting their
principal business activities in the same industry,
provided that this limitation does not apply to
investments in obligations issued or guaranteed by the
United States Government, its agencies or
instrumentalities.
The foregoing percentage limitations will apply at the time
of the purchase of a security. Additional fundamental and
non-fundamental investment limitations are set forth in the
Trust's Statement of Additional Information.
THE MANAGER
AND SHAREHOLDER
SERVICING AGENT ________________________________________________________________
SEI Financial Management Corporation ("SFM" or the
"Adviser") provides the Trust with overall management
services, regulatory reporting, all necessary office space,
equipment, personnel and facilities, and acts as shareholder

For its management services, SFM is entitled to a fee

In addition, SFM has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion
of its fees in order to limit the operating expenses of each
Portfolio in order to limit the operating expenses of a
Portfolio's Class D shares on an annualized basis. Any such
waivers are voluntary and may be terminated at any time in
SFM's sole discretion.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the

THE ADVISER ____________________________________________________________________
SEI FINANCIAL SFM serves as investment adviser to each Portfolio. SFM is a
MANAGEMENT wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Corporation ("SEI"), a
CORPORATION financial services company located in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
The principal business address of SFM is 680 East Swedesford
Road, Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658. SEI was founded in
1968 and is a leading provider of investment solutions to
banks, institutional investors, investment advisers and
insurance companies. Affiliates of SFM have provided
consulting advice to institutional investors for more than
20 years, including advice regarding selection and
evaluation of investment advisers. SFM currently serves as
manager or administrator to more than 26 investment
companies, including more than 220 portfolios, which
investment companies have more than $51 billion in assets as
of September 30, 1995.
The Adviser has general oversight responsibility for the
investment advisory services provided to the Portfolios,
including formulating the Portfolios' investment policies
and analyzing economic trends affecting the Portfolios. In
addition, SFM, as the Adviser to a Portfolio, is responsible
for (i) managing the allocation of assets among the
Portfolio's sub-advisers, (ii) directing and evaluating the
investment services provided by the sub-advisers, including
their adherence to the Portfolio's investment objective and
policies and the Portfolio's investment performance, and
(iii) managing the cash portion of the Portfolio's assets.
In accordance with each Portfolio's investment objective and
policies, and under the supervision of the Adviser and the
Trust's Board of Trustees, each sub-adviser is responsible
for the day-to-day investment management of all or a
discrete portion of the assets of a Portfolio. The Adviser
and sub-advisers are authorized to make investment decisions
for the Portfolios and place orders on behalf of the
Portfolios to effect the investment decisions made.
18

................................................................................
INVESTMENT
. ADVISER
A Portfolio's advisers manage the investment activities and are responsible
for the performance of the Portfolio. The advisers conduct investment re-
search, executes investment strategies based on an assessment of economic and
market conditions, and determine which securities to buy, hold or sell.
................................................................................
In addition, SFM monitors the compliance of each sub-
adviser with regulatory and tax regulations, such as
portfolio concentration and diversification. For the most
part compliance with these requirements by each adviser with
respect to its portion of a Portfolio will assure compliance
by the Portfolio as a whole. In addition, SFM monitors
positions taken by each sub-adviser and will notify sub-
advisers of any developing situations to help ensure that
investments do not run afoul of the short-short test or the
wash sale rules. To the extent that having multiple sub-
advisers responsible for investing separate portions of a
Portfolio's assets creates the need for coordination among
the sub-advisers, there is an increased risk that the
Portfolio will not comply with these regulatory and tax
requirements.
For these advisory services SFM is entitled to a fee,
which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate
of .35% of the Large Cap Value Portfolio's average daily net
assets, at an annual rate of .40% of the Large Cap Growth,
Mid-Cap, Capital Appreciation and Equity Income Portfolios'
average daily net assets and at an annual rate of .65% of the
Small Cap Value and Small Cap Growth Portfolios' average
daily net assets.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, SFM received
an advisory fee of .35% of the Large Cap Value and Large Cap
Growth Portfolios' average daily net assets, .40% of the Mid-
Cap, Capital Appreciation and Equity Income Portfolios'
average daily net assets and .65% of the Small Cap Value and
Small Cap Growth Portfolios' average daily net assets.
It is possible that different sub-advisers for the same
Portfolio could take opposite actions within a short period of
time with respect to a particular security. For example, one
sub-adviser could buy a security for the Portfolio and shortly
thereafter another sub-adviser could sell the same security
from the portion of the Portfolio allocated to it. If in these
circumstances the securities could be transferred from one sub-
adviser's portion of the Portfolio to another, the Portfolio
could avoid transaction costs and could avoid creating
possible wash sales and short-short gains under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Such transfers
are not practicable but the sub-advisers do not believe that
there will be material adverse effects on a Portfolio as a
result. First, it does not appear likely that there will be
substantial overlap in the securities acquired for a Portfolio
by the various sub-advisers. Moreover, the sub-advisers would
probably only rarely engage in the types of offsetting
transactions described above, especially within a short time
period. Therefore, it is a matter of speculation whether
offsetting transactions would result in any significant
19
<PAGE>
increases in transaction costs or have significant tax
consequences. With respect to the latter, the sub-advisers
have established procedures with respect to the short-short
test which are designed to prevent realization of short-
short gains in excess of Code limits. It is true that wash
sales could occur in spite of the efforts of SFM, but the
Board of Trustees believes that the benefits of using
multiple sub-advisers outweighs the consequences of any wash
sales.
SFM is currently seeking an exemptive order from the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that would
permit SFM, with the approval of the Trust's Board of
Trustees, to retain sub-advisers for a Portfolio without
submitting the sub-advisory agreement to a vote of the
Portfolio's shareholders. If granted, the exemptive relief
will permit the non-disclosure of amounts payable by SFM
under such sub-advisory agreements. The Trust will notify
shareholders in the event of any change in the identity of
the sub-adviser for a Portfolio. Until or unless this
exemptive order is granted, if one of the sub-advisers is
terminated or departs from a Portfolio with multiple sub-
advisers, the Portfolio will handle such termination or
departure in one of two ways. First, the Portfolio may
propose that a new sub-adviser be appointed to manage that
portion of the Portfolio's assets managed by the departing
sub-adviser. In this case, the Portfolio would be required
to submit to the vote of the Portfolio's shareholders the
approval of an investment sub-advisory contract with the new
sub-adviser. In the alternative, the Portfolio may decide to
allocate the departing sub-adviser's assets among the
remaining sub-advisers. This allocation would not require
new investment sub-advisory contracts with the remaining
advisers, and consequently no shareholder approval would be
necessary.

DISTRIBUTION ___________________________________________________________________
SEI Financial Services Company (the "Distributor"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI, serves as each Portfolio's
distributor pursuant to a distribution agreement (the
"Distribution Agreement") with the Trust. Each Class of the
Trust has adopted a distribution plan (the "Class A Plan" or
"Class D Plan" and, collectively, the "Plans") pursuant to
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"1940 Act.")
The Class D Plan provides for reimbursement for expenses
incurred by the Distributor, in an amount not to exceed .30%
of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, on an
annualized basis, provided those expenses are permissible as
to both type and amount under a budget adopted by the Board
of Trustees, including those who are not interested persons
and have no financial interest in the Plan or any related
agreement ("Qualified Trustees"). Currently, the budget
(shown here as a percentage of average daily net assets) for
each Portfolio is set at an annual rate as follows: Large
Cap Value Portfolio, 0.07%; Large Cap Growth Portfolio,
0.06%, Small Cap Value Portfolio, 0.05%; Small Cap Growth
Portfolio, 0.08%; Mid-Cap Portfolio, 0.12%; Capital
Appreciation Portfolio, 0.09%; and Equity Income Portfolio,
0.09%.
Distribution-related expenses reimbursable to the
Distributor under the budget include those related to the
costs of the printing of reports, prospectuses, notices and
similar materials for persons other than current
shareholders, federal and state securities law registration
and the cost of complying with such laws in the distribution
of the Trust's
27
<PAGE>
shares, advertising expenses and promotional and sales
expenses including expenses for travel, communication and
compensation and benefits for sales personnel. Distribution
expenses not attributable to a specific Portfolio are
allocated among each of the Portfolios of the Trust on the
basis of their average net assets. The Trust is not
obligated to reimburse the Distributor for any expenditures
in excess of the approved budget.
The Class D Plan, in addition to providing for the
reimbursement payments described above, provides for
payments to the Distributor at an annual rate of .30% of
each Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to
Class D shares. This additional payment may be used to
compensate financial institutions that provide distribution-
related services to their customers. These payments are
characterized as "compensation," and are not directly tied
to expenses incurred by the Distributor; the payments the
Distributor receives during any year may therefore be higher
or lower than its actual expenses. These additional payments
compensate the Distributor for its services in connection
with distribution assistance or the provision of shareholder
services, and some or all of it may be used to pay financial
institutions and intermediaries such as banks, savings and
loan associations, insurance companies, and investment
counselors, broker-dealers (including the Distributor's
affiliates and subsidiaries) for services or reimbursement
of expenses incurred in connection with distribution
assistance or the provision of shareholder services. If the
Distributor's expenses are less than its fees under the
Class D Plan, the Trust will still pay the full fee and the
Distributor will realize a profit, but the Trust will not be
obligated to pay in excess of the full fee, even if the
Distributor's actual expenses are higher. Currently, the
Distributor is taking this additional compensation payment
under the Class D Plan at a rate of .25% of each Portfolio's
average daily net assets, on an annualized basis,
attributable to Class D shares.
It is possible that an institution may offer different
classes of shares to its customers and thus receive
different compensation with respect to different classes.
These financial institutions may also charge separate fees
to their customers.
The Trust may execute brokerage or other agency
transactions through the Distributor, for which the
Distributor may receive compensation.
The Distributor may, from time to time in its sole
discretion, institute one or more promotional incentive
programs, which will be paid for by the Distributor from the
sales charge it receives or from any other source available
to it. Under any such program, the Distributor will provide
promotional incentives, in the form of cash or other
compensation, including merchandise, airline vouchers, trips
and vacation packages, to all dealers selling shares of the
Portfolios. Such promotional incentives will be offered
uniformly to all shares of the Portfolios, and also will be
offered uniformly to all dealers, predicated upon the amount
of shares of the Portfolios sold by such dealer.

PERFORMANCE ____________________________________________________________________
From time to time, a Portfolio may advertise yield and total
return. These figures will be based on historical earnings
and are not intended to indicate future performance. The
yield of a Portfolio refers to the annualized income
generated by an investment in the Portfolio over a specified
30-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the
same amount of income generated by the investment during
that period is generated in each 30-day period over one year
and is shown as a percentage of the investment.
The total return of a Portfolio refers to the average
compounded rate of return to a hypothetical investment, net
of any sales charge imposed on Class D Shares redeemed at
the end of the specified period covered by the total return
figure, for designated time periods (including but not
limited to, the period from which the Portfolio commenced
operations through the specified date), assuming that the
entire investment is redeemed at the end of each period and
assuming the reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain
distributions. The total return of a Portfolio may also be
quoted as a dollar amount or on an aggregate basis, an
actual basis, without inclusion of any front-end or
contingent sales charges, or with a reduced sales charge in
advertisements distributed to investors entitled to a
reduced sales charge.
A Portfolio may periodically compare its performance to
that of: (i) other mutual funds tracked by mutual fund
rating services (such as Lipper Analytical), financial and
business publications and periodicals; (ii) broad groups of
comparable mutual funds; (iii) unmanaged indices which may
assume investment of dividends but generally do not reflect
deductions for administrative and management costs; or (iv)
other investment alternatives. A Portfolio may quote
Morningstar, Inc., a service that ranks mutual funds on the
basis of risk-adjusted performance. A Portfolio may quote
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois, which provides
historical returns of the capital markets in the U.S. A
Portfolio may use long term performance of these capital
markets to demonstrate general long-term risk versus reward
scenarios and could include the value of a hypothetical
investment in any of the capital markets. A Portfolio may
also quote financial and business publications and
periodicals as they relate to fund management, investment
philosophy, and investment techniques.
A Portfolio may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising and may compare these
measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility
attempt to compare historical share price fluctuations or
total returns to a benchmark while measures of benchmark
correlation indicate how valid a comparative benchmark might
be. Measures of volatility and correlation are calculated
using averages of historical data and cannot be calculated
precisely.
For each Portfolio, the performance of Class A shares
will normally be higher than the performance of the Class D
shares of that Portfolio because of the additional
distribution and transfer agent expenses charged to Class D
shares.
Additional performance information is set forth in the
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and is available upon
request and without charge by calling 1-800-437-6016.

. TAXES
You must pay taxes on your Portfolio's earnings, whether you take your payments
in cash or additional shares.
................................................................................
................................................................................
. DISTRIBUTIONS
A Portfolio distributes income dividends and capital gains. Income dividends
represent the earnings from the Portfolio's investments; capital gains
distributions occur when a Portfolio sells investments for more than their
original purchase price.
................................................................................
TAXES __________________________________________________________________________
The following summary of federal income tax consequences is
based on current tax laws and regulations, which may be
changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action.
No attempt has been made to present a detailed explanation of
the federal, state, or local income tax treatment of a
Portfolio or its shareholders. Accordingly, shareholders are
urged to consult their tax advisers regarding specific
questions as to federal, state, and local income taxes. State
and local tax consequences of an investment in a Portfolio
may differ from the federal income tax consequences described
below. Additional information concerning taxes is set forth
in the Statement of Additional Information.
Tax Status of A Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income
the Portfolios tax purposes and is not combined with the Trust's other
portfolios. Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify for
the special tax treatment afforded regulated investment
companies ("RICs") under Subchapter M of the Code, so as to be
relieved of federal income tax on net investment company
taxable income (including the excess, if any, of net short-term
capital gains over net long-term capital losses) and net
capital gains (the excess of net long-term capital gains over
net short-term capital losses) distributed to shareholders.
Tax Status of Each Portfolio distributes substantially all of its net
Distributions investment company taxable income to shareholders. Dividends
from a Portfolio's net investment company taxable income are
taxable to its shareholders as ordinary income (whether
received in cash or in additional shares), and generally will
qualify for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders to the extent that such dividends are derived from
dividends paid on domestic and equity securities owned by the
Portfolio. Distributions of net capital gains are taxable to
shareholders as long-term capital gains regardless of how long
a shareholder has held shares. Dividends and distributions
received from a Portfolio will not qualify for the corporate
dividends received deduction. Each Portfolio will make annual
reports to shareholders of the federal income tax status of all
distributions. Dividends declared by a Portfolio in October,
November or December of any year and payable to shareholders of
record on a date in such a month will be deemed to have been
paid by the Portfolio and received by the shareholders on
December 31 of the year declared if paid by a Portfolio at any
time during the following January.
Each Portfolio intends to make sufficient distributions to
avoid liability for the federal excise tax applicable to
RICs.
Each sale, exchange, or redemption of a Portfolio's shares
generally is a taxable transaction to the shareholder.

ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION ABOUT
DOING BUSINESS
WITH US ________________________________________________________________________
Business Days You may buy, sell or exchange shares on days which the New
York Stock Exchange is open for business (a "Business Day").
All purchase, exchange and redemption requests received in
"good order" will be effective as of the Business Day received
by the Transfer Agent as long as the Transfer Agent receives
the order and, in the case of a purchase request, payment
before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Otherwise the purchase will be
effective when payment is received. Broker-dealers may have
separate arrangements with the Trust regarding the sale of its
Class D shares.
If an exchange request is for shares of a portfolio whose
net asset value is calculated as of a time earlier than 4:00
p.m. Eastern time, the exchange request will not be effective
until the next Business Day. Anyone who wishes to make an
exchange must have received a current prospectus of the
portfolio into which the exchange is being made before the
exchange will be effected.
Minimum The minimum initial investment in a Portfolio's Class D
Investments shares is $1,000; however, the minimum investment may be
waived at the Distributor's discretion. All subsequent
purchases must be at least $100 ($25 for payroll deductions
authorized pursuant to pre-approved payroll deduction plans).
The Trust reserves the right to reject a purchase order when
the Distributor determines that it is not in the best
interest of the Trust or its shareholders to accept such
order. In addition, because excessive trading (including
short-term "market timing" trading) can hurt a Portfolio's
performance, each Portfolio may refuse purchase orders from
any shareholder account if the accountholder has been advised
that previous purchase and redemption transactions were
considered excessive in number or amount. Accounts under
common control or ownership, including those with the same
taxpayer identification number and those administered so as
to redeem or purchase shares based upon certain predetermined
market indicators, will be considered one account for this
purpose.
Maintaining a Due to the relatively high cost of handling small
Minimum investments, a Portfolio reserves the right to redeem, at net
Account asset value, the shares of any shareholder if, because of
Balance redemptions of shares by or on behalf of the shareholder, the
account of such shareholder in a Portfolio has a value of
less than $1,000, the minimum initial purchase amount.
Accordingly, an investor purchasing shares of a Portfolio in
only the minimum investment amount may be
31
<PAGE>
subject to such involuntary redemption if he or she
thereafter redeems any of these shares. Before a Portfolio
exercises its right to redeem such shares and to send the
proceeds to the shareholder, the shareholder will be given
notice that the value of the shares in his or her account is
less than the minimum amount and will be allowed 60 days to
make an additional investment in a Portfolio in an amount
that will increase the value of the account to at least
$1,000. See "Purchase and Redemption of Shares" in the
Statement of Additional Information for examples of when the
right of redemption may be suspended.
At various times, a Portfolio may receive a request to
redeem shares for which it has not yet received good
payment. In such circumstances, redemption proceeds will be
forwarded upon collection of payment for the shares;
collection of payment may take 10 or more days. A Portfolio
intends to pay cash for all shares redeemed, but under
abnormal conditions that make payment in cash unwise,
payment may be made wholly or partly in portfolio securities
with a market value equal to the redemption price. In such
cases, an investor may incur brokerage costs in converting
such securities to cash.
Net Asset Value An order to buy shares will be executed at a per share price
equal to the net asset value next determined after the
receipt of the purchase order by the Distributor plus any
applicable sales charge (the "offering price"). No
certificates representing shares will be issued. An order to
sell shares will be executed at the net asset value per
share next determined after receipt and effectiveness of a
request for redemption in good order. Net asset value per
share is determined as of the close of business of the New
York Stock Exchange (currently, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on
each Business Day. Payment to shareholders for shares
redeemed will be made within seven days after receipt by the
Distributor of the redemption order.
How the Net The net asset value per share of a Portfolio is determined
Asset Value is by dividing the total market value of its investments and
Determined other assets, less any liabilities, by the total number of
outstanding shares of the Portfolio. A Portfolio may use a
pricing service to obtain the last sale price of each equity
or fixed income security held by a Portfolio. In addition,
portfolio securities are valued at the last quoted sales
price for such securities, or, if there is no such reported
sales price on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted
bid price. Unlisted securities for which market quotations
are readily available are valued at the most recent quoted
bid price. Net asset value per share is determined daily as
of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange
(currently, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each Business Day.
Purchases will be made in full and fractional shares of a
Portfolio calculated to three decimal places. Although the
methodology and procedures for determining net asset value
per share are identical for both classes of a Portfolio, the
net asset value per share of one class may differ from that
of another class because of the different distribution fees
charged to each class and the incremental transfer agent
fees charged to Class D shares.

Rights of In calculating the sales charge rates applicable to current
Accumulation purchases of a Portfolio's shares, a "single purchaser"
(defined below) is entitled to combine current purchases
with the current market value of previously purchased shares
of a Portfolio and Class D shares of other portfolios
("Eligible Portfolios") which are sold subject to a
comparable sales charge.
The term "single purchaser" refers to (i) an individual,
(ii) an individual and spouse purchasing shares of a
Portfolio for their own account or for trust or custodial
accounts of their minor children, or (iii) a fiduciary
purchasing for any one trust, estate or fiduciary account,
including employee benefit plans created under Sections 401
or 457 of the Code, including related plans of the same
employer. Furthermore, under this provision, purchases by a
single purchaser shall include purchases by an individual
for his or her own account in combination with (i) purchases
of that individual and spouse for their joint accounts or
for trust and custodial accounts for their minor children
and (ii) purchases of that individual's spouse for his or
her own account. To be entitled to a reduced sales charge
based upon shares already owned, the investor must ask the
Transfer Agent for such reduction at the time of purchase
and provide the account number(s) of the investor, the
investor and spouse, and their children (under age 21). A
Portfolio may amend or terminate this right of accumulation
at any time as to subsequent purchases.
Letter of By submitting a Letter of Intent (the "Letter") to the
Intent Transfer Agent, a single purchaser may purchase shares of a
Portfolio and the other Eligible Portfolios during a 13-
month period at the reduced sales charge rates applying to
the aggregate amount of the intended purchases stated in the
Letter. The Letter may apply to purchases made up to 90 days
before the date of the Letter. It is the shareholder's
responsibility to notify SFM at the time the Letter is
submitted that there are prior purchases that may apply.
Five percent (5%) of the total amount intended to be
purchased will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent until
such purchase is completed within the 13-month period. The
13-month period begins on the date of the earliest purchase.
If the intended investment is not completed, SFM will
surrender an appropriate number of the escrowed shares for
redemption in order to realize the difference between the
sales charge on the shares purchased at the reduced rate and
the sales charge otherwise applicable to the total shares
purchased. Such purchasers may include the value of all
their shares of the Portfolio and of any of the other
Eligible Portfolios in the Trust towards the completion of
such Letter.
Sales Charge No sales charge is imposed on shares of a Portfolio: (i)
Waivers issued in plans of reorganization, such as mergers, asset
acquisitions and exchange offers, to which the Trust is a
party; (ii) sold to dealers or brokers that have a sales
agreement with the Distributor ("participating broker-
dealers"), for their own account or for retirement plans for
employees or sold to present employees of dealers or brokers
that certify to the Distributor at the time of purchase that
such purchase is for their own account; (iii) sold to
present employees of SEI or one of its affiliates, or of any
entity which is a current service provider to the Trust;
(iv) sold to tax-exempt organizations enumerated in
33
<PAGE>
Section 501(c) of the Code or qualified employee benefit
plans created under Sections 401, 403(b)(7) or 457 of the
Code (but not IRAs or SEPs); (v) sold to fee-based clients
of banks, financial planners and investment advisers; (vi)
sold to clients of trust companies and bank trust
departments; (vii) sold to trustees and officers of the
Trust; (viii) purchased with proceeds from the recent
redemption of Class D shares of another Portfolio of the
Trust or another class of shares of a portfolio of the
Trust, SEI Tax-Exempt Trust, SEI International Trust, SEI
Liquid Asset Trust, SEI Index Funds, or SEI Daily Income
Trust; (ix) purchased with the proceeds from the recent
redemption of shares of a mutual fund with similar
investment objectives and policies for which a front-end
sales charge was paid (this offer will be extended, to cover
shares on which a deferred sales charge was paid, if
permitted under regulatory authorities' interpretation of
applicable law); or (x) sold to participants or members of
certain affinity groups, such as trade associations or
membership organizations, which have entered into
arrangements with the Distributor. Members of affinity
groups should see the Statement of Additional Information or
call the Transfer Agent for further information regarding
sales charge waivers.
An investor relying upon any of the categories of waivers
of sales charges must qualify such waiver in advance of the
purchase with the Transfer Agent or the financial
institution or the intermediary through which shares are
purchased by the investor.
The waiver of the sales charge under circumstances (viii)
and (ix) above applies only if the following conditions are
met: the purchase must be made within 60 days of the
redemption; the Transfer Agent must be notified in writing
by the investor, or his or her agent, at the time a purchase
is made; and a copy of the investor's account statement
showing such redemption must accompany such notice. The
waiver policy with respect to the purchase of shares through
the use of proceeds from a recent redemption as described in
clauses (viii) and (ix) above will not be continued
indefinitely and may be discontinued at any time without
notice. Investors should call 1-800-437-6016 to confirm
availability prior to initiating the procedures described in
clauses (viii) and (ix) above.
The Distributor has also entered into arrangements with
certain affinity groups and broker-dealers wherein their
members or clients are entitled to percentage-based
discounts from the otherwise applicable sales charge for
purchase of Class D shares. Currently the percentage-based
discount is either 10% or 50%. Members of affinity groups
and clients of broker-dealers should see the Statement of
Additional Information or contact the Transfer Agent for
further information.
Signature The Transfer Agent may require that the signatures on the
Guarantees written request be guaranteed. You should be able to obtain
a signature guarantee from a bank, broker, dealer, certain
credit unions, securities exchange or association, clearing
agency or savings association. Notaries public cannot
guarantee signatures. The signature guarantee requirement
will be waived if all of the following conditions apply: (1)
the redemption is for not more than $5,000 worth of shares,
(2) the redemption check is payable to the shareholder(s) of
record, and (3) the redemption check is mailed to the
shareholder(s) at his or her address
34
<PAGE>
of record. The Trust and SFM reserve the right to amend
these requirements without notice.
Telephone/Wire Redemption orders may be placed by telephone. Neither the
Instructions Trust nor the Transfer Agent will be responsible for any
loss, liability, cost or expense for acting upon wire
instructions or upon telephone instructions that it
reasonably believes to be genuine. The Trust and the
Transfer Agent will each employ reasonable procedures to
confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are
genuine, including requiring a form of personal
identification prior to acting upon instructions received by
telephone and recording telephone instructions. If market
conditions are extraordinarily active, or other
extraordinary circumstances exist, and you experience
difficulties placing redemption orders by telephone, you may
wish to consider placing your order by other means.
Systematic Please note that if withdrawals exceed income dividends,
Withdrawal Plan your invested principal in the account will be depleted.
("SWP") Thus, depending upon the frequency and amounts of the
withdrawal payments and/or any fluctuations in the net asset
value per share, your original investment could be exhausted
entirely. To participate in the SWP, you must have your
dividends automatically reinvested. You may change or cancel
the SWP at any time, upon written notice to the Transfer
Agent.
How to Close An account may be closed by providing written notice to the
your Account Transfer Agent. You may also close your account by telephone
if you have previously elected telephone options on your
account application.

in such Portfolios. If a sufficient amount of a Portfolio's
assets are subject to such asset allocation services, a
Portfolio may incur higher transaction costs and a higher
portfolio turnover rate than would otherwise be anticipated
as a result of redemptions and purchases of Portfolio shares
pursuant to such services. Further, to the extent that the
Adviser is providing asset allocation services and providing
investment advice to the Portfolios, it may face conflicts
of interest in fulfilling its responsibilities because of
the possible differences between the interests of its asset
allocation clients and the interests of the Portfolios.
Trustees of the The management and affairs of the Trust are supervised by
Trust the Trustees under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The Trustees have approved contracts under
which, as described above, certain companies provide
essential management services to the Trust.
Voting Rights Each share held entitles the shareholder of record to one
vote. The shareholders of each Portfolio of the Trust will
vote separately on matters relating solely to that
Portfolio. The shareholders of each class will vote
separately on matters pertaining to its distribution plan.
As a Massachusetts business trust, the Trust is not required
to hold annual meetings of shareholders, but approval will
be sought for certain changes in the operation of the Trust
and for the election of Trustees under certain
circumstances. In addition, a Trustee may be removed by the
remaining Trustees or by shareholders at a special meeting
called upon written request of shareholders owning at least
10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust. In the event
that such a meeting is requested the Trust will provide
appropriate assistance and information to the shareholders
requesting the meeting.
Reporting The Trust issues unaudited financial statements semi-
annually and audited financial statements annually. The
Trust furnishes proxy statements and other reports to
shareholders of record.
Shareholder Shareholder inquiries should be directed to DST Systems,
Inquiries Inc., P.O. Box 419240, Kansas City, Missouri 64141-6240.
Dividends Substantially all of the net investment income (exclusive of
capital gains) of the Portfolios is periodically declared
and paid as a dividend. Dividends currently are paid on a
quarterly basis for each Portfolio. Currently, capital
gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
Shareholders automatically receive all income dividends
and capital gain distributions in additional shares at the
net asset value next determined following the record date,
unless the shareholder has elected to take such payment in
cash. Shareholders may change their election by providing
written notice to SFM at least 15 days prior to the
distribution.
Dividends and capital gains of each Portfolio are paid on
a per-share basis. The value of each share will be reduced
by the amount of any such payment. If shares are purchased
shortly before the record date for a dividend or capital
gains distributions, a
36
<PAGE>
shareholder will pay the full price for the share and
receive some portion of the price back as a taxable dividend
or distribution.
The dividends on Class D shares will normally be lower
than on Class A shares of a Portfolio because of the
additional distribution and transfer agent expenses charged
to Class D shares.
Counsel and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP serves as counsel to the Trust.
Independent Price Waterhouse LLP serves as the independent accountants
Accountants of the Trust.
Custodian and CoreStates Bank, N.A., Broad and Chestnut Streets, P.O. Box
Wire Agent 7618, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101 (the "Custodian"),
acts as custodian and wire agent of the Trust's assets. The

Trust as required by the 1940 Act.
DESCRIPTION OF
PERMITTED
INVESTMENTS AND
RISK FACTORS __________________________________________________________________
The following is a description of the permitted investment
practices for the Portfolios, and the associated risk
factors:
American ADRs are securities, typically issued by U.S. financial
Depositary institution (a "depositary"), that evidence ownership
Receipts interests in a security or a pool of securities issued by a
("ADRs") foreign issuer and deposited with the depositary. ADRs may
be available through "sponsored" or "unsponsored"
facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by
the issuer of the security underlying the receipt and a
depositary, whereas an unsponsored facility may be
established by a depositary without participation by the
issuer of the underlying security.
Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear
all the costs of the unsponsored facility. The depositary of
an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to
distribute shareholder communications received from the
issuer of the deposited security or to pass through, to the
holders of the receipts, voting rights with respect to the
deposited securities. ADRs that are not listed or traded on
an exchange can be purchased over the counter. Prices for
such ADRs are determined by the market makers.
Convertible Convertible securities are corporate securities that are
Securities exchangeable for a set number of another security at a
prestated price. Convertible securities typically have
characteristics similar to both fixed-income and equity
securities. Because of the conversion feature, the market
value of a convertible security tends to move with the
market value of the underlying stock. The value of a
convertible security is also affected by prevailing interest
rates, the credit quality of the issuer, and any call
provisions.
Derivatives Derivatives are securities that derive their value from
other securities. The following are considered derivative
securities: options on futures, futures, options (e.g., puts
and calls),
37
<PAGE>
swap agreements, mortgage-backed securities (e.g., CMOs,
REMICs, IOs and POs), when-issued securities and forward
commitments, floating and variable rate securities,
convertible securities, "stripped" U.S. Treasury securities
(e.g., Receipts and STRIPs), privately issued stripped
securities (e.g., TGRs, TRs and CATS). See elsewhere in this
"Description of Permitted Investments and Risk Factors" for
discussions of these various instruments, and see
"Investment Objectives and Policies" for more information
about any investment policies and limitations applicable to
their use.
Equity Equity securities represent ownership interests in a company
Securities or corporation and include common stock, preferred stock,
and warrants and other rights to acquire such instruments.
Changes in the value of portfolio securities will not
necessarily affect cash income derived from these securities
but will affect a Portfolio's net asset value.
Fixed Income Fixed income securities are debt obligations issued by
Securities corporations, municipalities and other borrowers. Moreover,
while securities with longer maturities tend to produce
higher yields, the prices of longer maturity securities are
also subject to greater market fluctuations as a result of
changes in interest rates.
Futures and Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party
Options on and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a
Futures specific security at a specified future time and at a
specified price. An option on a futures contract give the
purchaser the right, in exchange for a premium, to assume a
position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price
during the term of the option. A Portfolio may use futures
contracts and related options for bona fide hedging
purposes, to offset changes in the value of securities held
or expected to be acquired or be disposed of, to minimize
fluctuations in foreign currencies, or to gain exposure to a
particular market or instrument. A Portfolio will minimize
the risk that it will be unable to close out a futures
contract that are traded on national futures exchanges.
A stock index futures contract is a bilateral agreement
pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery
of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount
times the difference between the stock index value at the
close of trading of the contract and the price at which the
futures contract is originally struck. No physical delivery
of the stocks comprising the index is made; generally
contracts are closed out prior to the expiration date of the
contract.
No price is paid upon entering into futures contracts.
Instead, a Portfolio would be required to deposit an amount
of cash or U.S. Treasury securities known as "initial
margin." Subsequent payments, called "variation margin," to
and from the broker, would be made on a daily basis as the
value of the futures position varies (a process known as
"marking to market"). The margin is in the nature of a
performance bond or good-faith deposit on a futures
contract.
In order to avoid leveraging and related risks, when a
Portfolio purchases futures contracts, it will collateralize
its position by depositing an amount of cash or liquid, high
grade debt securities, equal to the market value of the
futures positions held, less margin
38
<PAGE>
deposits, in a segregated account with the Trust's
Custodian. Collateral equal to the current market value of
the futures position will be marked to market on a daily
basis.
There are risks associated with these activities,
including the following: (1) the success of a hedging
strategy may depend on an ability to predict movements in
the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets
and movements in interest rates, (2) there may be an
imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market
value of the securities held by the Portfolio and the prices
of futures and options on future, (3) there may not be a
liquid secondary market for a futures contract or option,
(4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an
exchange, and (5) government regulations may restrict
trading in futures contracts and option on futures.
A Portfolio may enter into futures contracts and options
on futures contracts traded on an exchange regulated by the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), so long as,
to the extent that such transactions are not for "bone fide
hedging purposes," the aggregate initial margin and premiums
on such positions (excluding the amount by which such
options are in the money) do not exceed 5% of the
Portfolio's net assets. A Portfolio may buy and sell futures
contracts and related options to manage its exposure to
changing interest rates and securities prices. Some
strategies reduce a Portfolio's exposure to price
fluctuations, while others tend to increase its market
exposure. Futures and options on futures can be volatile
instruments and involve certain risks that could negatively
impact a Portfolio's return.
Illiquid Illiquid securities are securities that cannot be disposed
Securities of within seven business days at approximately the price at
which they are being carried on the Portfolio's books.
Illiquid securities include demand instruments with a demand
notice period exceeding seven days, where there is no
secondary market for such security, and repurchase
agreements with duration over 7 days in length. Each
Portfolio may invest in illiquid securities.
Money Market Money market securities are high-quality, dollar-
Instruments denominated, short-term debt instruments. They consist of:
(i) bankers' acceptances, certificates of deposits, notes
and time deposits of highly-rated U.S. banks and U.S.
branches of foreign banks; (ii) U.S. Treasury Obligations
and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government; (iii) high-
quality commercial paper issued by U.S. and foreign
corporation; (iv) debt obligations with a maturity of one
year or less issued by corporations with outstanding high-
quality commercial papers; and (v) repurchase agreements
involving any of the foregoing obligations entered into with
highly-rated banks and broker-dealers.
Mortgage-Backed Mortgage-backed securities are instruments that entitle the
Securities holder to a share of all interest and principal payments
from mortgages underlying the security. The mortgages
backing these securities include conventional fifteen and
thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages, graduated payment
mortgages, and adjustable rate mortgages and balloon
mortgages. Prepayment of mortgages which underlie securities
purchased at a premium often results in capital losses,
while prepayment of mortgages purchased at a discount often
results in capital gains. Because of these unpredictable
prepayment characteristics, it is often not
39
<PAGE>
possible to predict accurately the average life or realized
yield of a particular issue. Mortgage-backed securities are
subject to the risk of prepayment of the underlying
mortgages. During periods of declining interest rates,
prepayment of mortgages underlying these securities can be
expected to accelerate. When the mortgaged-backed securities
held by a Portfolio are prepaid, the Portfolio must reinvest
the proceeds in securities the yield of which reflects
prevailing interest rates, which may be lower than the
prepaid security.
Government Pass-Through Securities: These are securities
that are issued or guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency
representing an interest in a pool of mortgage loans. The
primary issuers or guarantors of these mortgage-backed
securities are GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. FNMA and FHLMC
obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Government as GNMA certificates are, but FNMA and
FHLMC securities are supported by the instrumentalities'
right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC
each guarantees timely distributions of interest to
certificate holders. GNMA and FNMA also each guarantees
timely distributions of scheduled principal. FHLMC has in
the past guaranteed only the ultimate collection of
principal of the underlying mortgage loan; however, FHLMC
now issues mortgage-backed securities (FHLMC Gold PCs) which
also guarantee timely payment of monthly principal
reductions. Government and private guarantees do not extend
to the securities' value, which is likely to vary inversely
with fluctuations in interest rates.
Private Pass-Through Securities: These are mortgage-
backed securities issued by a non-governmental entity, such
as a trust or corporate entity. These securities include
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate
mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"). While they are
generally structured with one or more types of credit
enhancement, private pass-through securities typically lack
a guarantee by an entity having the credit status of a
governmental agency or instrumentality.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs"): CMOs are
debt obligations or multiclass pass-through certificates
issued by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S.
Government or by private originators or investors in
mortgage loans. In a CMO, series of bonds or certificates
are usually issued in multiple classes. Principal and
interest paid on the underlying mortgage assets may be
allocated among the several classes of a series of a CMO in
a variety of ways. Each class of a CMO, often referred to as
a "tranche," is issued with a specific fixed or floating
coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution
date. Principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets
may cause CMOs to be retired substantially earlier than
their stated maturities or final distribution dates,
resulting in a loss of all or part of any premium paid.
REMICs: A REMIC is a CMO that qualifies for special tax
treatment under the Internal Revenue Code and invests in
certain mortgages principally secured by interests in real
property. Investors may purchase beneficial interests in
REMICs, which are known as "regular" interests, or
"residual" interests. Guaranteed REMIC pass-through
certificates ("REMIC Certificates") issued by FNMA or FHLMC
represent beneficial ownership interests
40
<PAGE>
in a REMIC trust consisting principally of mortgage loans or
FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA-guaranteed mortgage pass-through
certificates. For FHLMC REMIC Certificates, FHLMC guarantees
the timely payment of interest, and also guarantees the
payment of principal as payments are required to be made on
the underlying mortgage participation certificates. FNMA
REMIC Certificates are issued and guaranteed as to timely
distribution of principal and interest by FNMA.
Parallel Pay Securities; PAC Bonds: Parallel pay CMOs and
REMICS are structured to provide payments of principal on
each payment date to more than one class. These simultaneous
payments are taken into account in calculating the stated
maturity date or final distribution date of each class,
which must be retired by its stated maturity date or final
distribution date, but may be retired earlier. Planned
Amortization Class CMOs ("PAC Bonds") generally require
payments of a specified amount of principal on each payment
date. PAC Bonds are always parallel pay CMOs with the
required principal payment on such securities having the
highest priority after interest has been paid to all
classes.
REITs: REITs are trusts that invest primarily in
commercial real estate or real estate-related loans. The
value of interests in REITs may be affected by the value of
the property owned or the quality of the mortgages held by
the trust.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities ("SMBs"): SMBs are
usually structured with two classes that receive specified
proportions of the monthly interest and principal payments
from a pool of mortgage securities. One class may receive
all of the interest payments and is thus termed an interest-
only class ("IO"), while the other class may receive all of
the principal payments and is thus termed the principal-only
class ("PO"). The value of IOs tends to increase as rates
rise and decrease as rates fall; the opposite is true of
POs. SMBs are extremely sensitive to changes in interest
rates because of the impact thereon of prepayment of
principal on the underlying mortgage securities can
experience wide swings in value in response to changes in
interest rates and associated mortgage prepayment rates.
During times when interest rates are experiencing
fluctuations, such securities can be difficult to price on a
consistent basis. The market for SMBs is not as fully
developed as other markets; SMBs, therefore, may be
illiquid.
Risk Factors: Due to the possibility of prepayments of
the underlying mortgage instruments, mortgage-backed
securities generally do not have a known maturity. In the
absence of a known maturity, market participants generally
refer to an estimated average life. An average life estimate
is a function of an assumption regarding anticipated
prepayment patterns, based upon current interest rates,
current conditions in the relevant housing markets and other
factors. The assumption is necessarily subjective, and thus
different market participants can produce different average
life estimates with regard to the same security. There can
be no assurance that estimated average life will be a
security's actual average life.
Options A put option gives the purchase of the option the right to
sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy,
the underlying security at any time during the option
period.
41
<PAGE>
A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to
buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell,
the underlying security at any time during the option
period. The premium paid to the writer is the consideration
for undertaking the obligations under the option contract.
The initial purchase (sale) of an option contract is an
"opening transaction." In order to close out an option
position, a portfolio may enter into a "closing
transaction," which is simply the sale (purchase) of an
option contract on the same security with the same exercise
price and expiration date as the option contract originally
opened. If a Portfolio is unable to effect a closing
transaction with respect to an option that it has written,
it will not be able to sell the underlying security until
the option expires or the Portfolio delivers the security
upon exercise.
A Portfolio may purchase put and call options to protect
against a decline in the market value of the securities in
its portfolio or to anticipate an increase in the market
value of securities that a Portfolio may seek to purchase in
the future. A Portfolio purchasing put and call options pays
a premium therefore. If price movements in the underlying
securities are such that exercise of the options would not
be profitable for the Portfolio, loss of the premium paid
may be offset by an increase in the value of the Portfolio's
securities or by a decrease in the cost of acquisition of
securities by the Portfolio.
A Portfolio may write covered call options as a means of
increasing the yield on its portfolio and as a means of
providing limited protection against decreases in its market
value. When a portfolio sells an option, if the underlying
securities do not increase or decrease to a price level that
would make the exercise of the option profitable to the
holder thereof, the option generally will expire without
being exercised and the Portfolio will realize as profit the
premium received for such option. When a call option written
by a portfolio is exercised, the Portfolio will be required
to sell the underlying securities to the option holder at
the strike price, and will not participate in any increase
in the price of such securities above the strike prices.
When a put option written by a Portfolio is exercised, the
Portfolio will be required to purchase the underlying
securities at the strike price, which may be in excess of
the market value of such securities.
A Portfolio may purchase and write options on an exchange
or over-the-counter. Over-the-counter options ("OTC
options") differ from exchange-traded options in several
respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not
with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk
of non-performance by the dealer. OTC options are available
for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of
expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for
exchange-traded options. Because OTC options are not traded
on an exchange, pricing is done normally by reference to
information from a market maker. It is the position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that OTC options are
generally illiquid.
A Portfolio may purchase and write put and call options
on indices and enter into related closing transactions. Put
and call options on indices are similar to options on
42
<PAGE>
securities except that options on an index give the holder
the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount
of cash if the closing level of the underlying index is
greater than (or less than, in the case of puts) the
exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal
to the difference between the closing price of the index and
the exercise price of the option, expressed in dollars
multiplied by a specified number. Thus, unlike options on
individual securities, all settlements are in cash, and gain
or loss depends on price movements in the particular market
represented by the index generally, rather than the price
movements in individual securities. A Portfolio may choose
to terminate an option position by entering into a closing
transaction. The ability of a Portfolio to enter into
closing transactions depends upon the existence of a liquid
secondary market for such transactions.
All options written on indices must be covered. When a
Portfolio writes an option on an index, it will establish a
segregated account containing cash or liquid, high grade
debt securities with its Custodian in an amount at least
equal to the market value of the option and will maintain
the account while the option is open or will otherwise cover
the transaction.
Risk Factors: Risks associated with options transactions
include: (1) the success of a hedging strategy may depend on
an ability to predict movements in the prices of individual
securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in
interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect correlation
between the movement in prices of options and the securities
underlying them; (3) there may not be a liquid secondary
market for option; and (4) while a Portfolio will receive a
premium when it writes covered call options, it may not
participate fully in a rise in the market value of the
underlying security.
Receipts Receipts are sold as zero coupon securities, which means
that they are sold at a substantial discount and redeemed at
face value at their maturity date without interim cash
payments of interest or principal. This discount is accreted
over the life of the security, and such accretion will
constitute the income earned on the security for both
accounting and tax purposes. Because of these features, such
securities may be subject to greater interest rate
volatility than interest paying Permitted Investments. See
also "Taxes."
Repurchase Arrangements by which a Portfolio obtains a security and
Agreements simultaneously commits to return the security to the seller
at an agreed upon price (including principal and interest)
on an agreed upon date within a number of days from the date
of purchase. The Custodian or its agent will hold the
security as collateral for the repurchase agreement.
Collateral must be maintained at a value at least equal to
102% of the purchase price. The Portfolio bears a risk of
loss in the event the other party defaults on its
obligations and the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from
exercising its right to dispose of the collateral securities
or if the Portfolio realizes a loss on the sale of the
collateral securities. An adviser will enter into repurchase
agreements on behalf of the Portfolio only with financial
institutions deemed to present minimal risk of bankruptcy
during the term of the
43
<PAGE>
agreement based on guidelines established and periodically
reviewed by the Trustees. Repurchase agreements are
considered loans under the 1940 Act.
Securities In order to generate additional income, a Portfolio may lend
Lending securities which it owns pursuant to agreement requiring
that the loan be continuously secured by collateral
consisting of cash or securities of the U.S. Government or
its agencies equal to at least 100% of the market value of
the loaned securities. A Portfolio continues to receive
interest on the loaned securities while simultaneously
earning interest on the investment of cash collateral.
Collateral is marked to market daily. There may be risks of
delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights
in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail
financially or become insolvent.
Securities of There are certain risks connected with investing in foreign
Foreign Issuers securities. These include risks of adverse political and
economic developments (including possible governmental
seizure or nationalization of assets), the possible
imposition of exchange controls or other governmental
restrictions, less uniformity in accounting and reporting
requirements, the possibility that there will be less
information on such securities and their issuers available
to the public, the difficulty of obtaining or enforcing
court judgments abroad, restrictions on foreign investments
in other jurisdictions, difficulties in effecting
repatriation of capital invested abroad, and difficulties in
transaction settlements and the effect of delay on
shareholder equity. Foreign securities may be subject to
foreign taxes, and may be less marketable than comparable
U.S. securities. The value of a Portfolio's investments
denominated in foreign currencies will depend on the
relative strengths of those currencies and the U.S. dollars,
and a Portfolio may be affected favorably or unfavorably by
changes in the exchange rates or exchange control
regulations between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates also may affect
the value of dividends and interest earned, gains and losses
realized on the sale of securities and net investment income
and gains if any, to be distributed to shareholders by a
Portfolio.
U.S. Government
Agency
Obligations Obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies of the U.S.
Government, including, among others, the Federal Farm Credit
Bank, the Federal Housing Administration and the Small
Business Administration, and obligations issued or
guaranteed by instrumentalities of the U.S. Government,
including, among others, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation, the Federal Land Banks and the U.S. Postal
Service. Some of these securities are supported by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury (e.g., Government
National Mortgage Association Securities), others are
supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
Treasury (e.g., Federal Farm Credit Bank Securities), while
still others are supported only by the credit of the
instrumentality (e.g., Federal National Mortgage Association
Securities). Guarantees of principal by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government may be a guarantee
of payment at the maturity of the obligation so that in the
event of a default prior to maturity there might not be a
market and thus no means of realizing on
44
<PAGE>
the obligation prior to maturity. Guarantees as to the
timely payment of principal and interest do not extend to
the value or yield of these securities nor to the value of
the Fund's shares.
U.S. Treasury U.S. Treasury obligations consist of bills, notes and bonds
Obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury, as well as separately traded
interest and principal component parts of such obligations
known as Separately Traded Registered Interest and Principal
Securities ("STRIPS") that are transferable through the
Federal book-entry system.
U.S. Treasury U.S. Treasury receipts are interests in separately traded
Receipts interest and principal component parts of U.S. Treasury
obligations that are issued by banks or brokerage firms and
are created by depositing U.S. Treasury notes and
obligations into a special account at a custodian bank. The
custodian holds the interest and principal payments for the
benefit of the registered owners of the certificates of
receipts. The custodian arranges for the issuance of the
certificates or receipts evidencing ownership and maintains
the register. Receipts include "Treasury Receipts" ("TRs"),
"Treasury Investment Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs") "Liquid
Yield Option Notes" ("LYONs") and "Certificates of Accrual
on Treasury Securities" ("CATS"). LYONs, TIGRs and CATS are
interests in private proprietary accounts, while TRs and
STRIPS are interest in accounts sponsored by the U.S.
Treasury.
Variable and Certain obligations may carry variable or floating rates of
Floating Rate interest, and may involve a conditional or unconditional
Instruments demand feature. Such instruments bear interest at rates
which are not fixed, but which vary with changes in
specified market rates or indices. The interest rates on
these securities may be reset daily, weekly, quarterly or
some other reset period, and may have a floor or ceiling on
interest rate changes. There is a risk that the current
interest rate on such obligations may not accurately reflect
existing market interest rates. A demand instrument with a
demand notice exceeding seven days may be considered
illiquid if there is no secondary market for such security.
Warrants Warrants are instruments giving holders the right, but not
the obligation, to buy shares of a company at a given price
during a specified period.
When-Issued and When-issued or delayed delivery transactions involve the
Delayed purchase of an instrument with payment and delivery taking
Delivery place in the future. Delivery of and payment for these
Securities securities may occur a month or more after the date of the
purchase commitment. A Portfolio will maintain with the
custodian a separate account with liquid, high grade debt
securities or cash in an amount at least equal to these
commitments. The interest rate realized on these securities
is fixed as of the purchase date, and no interest accrues to
a Portfolio before settlement. These securities are subject
to market fluctuation due to changes in market interest
rates, and it is possible that the market value at the time
of settlement could be higher or lower than the purchase
price if the general level of interest rates has changed.
Although a Portfolio generally purchases securities on a
when-issued or forward commitment basis with the intention
of actually acquiring such securities, a
45
<PAGE>
Portfolio may dispose of a when-issued security or forward
commitment prior to settlement if the advisers deem it
appropriate to do so.

factors can be found in the Statement of Additional

THE TRUST
SEI Institutional Managed Trust (the "Trust") is an open-end management
investment company that offers shares of diversified portfolios. The Trust
was established as a Massachusetts business trust pursuant to a Declaration of
Trust dated October 20, 1986. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to
offer separate series ("portfolios") of units of beneficial interest ("shares")
and separate classes of portfolios. Except for differences between the Class A
shares and/or Class D shares pertaining to sales charges, distribution,
voting rights, dividends and transfer agent expenses, each share of each
portfolio represents an equal proportionate interest in that portfolio with each
other share of that portfolio.
This Statement of Additional Information relates to the following Portfolios:
Balanced, Bond, Capital Appreciation, Equity Income, High Yield Bond, Core Fixed
Income (formerly, the Limited Volatility Bond Portfolio), Large Cap Growth,
Large Cap Value, Mid-Cap (formerly, the Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio), Small Cap
Growth and Small Cap Value Portfolios (each a "Portfolio" and together, the
"Portfolios"), and any different classes of the Portfolios.
Shareholders may purchase shares in certain Portfolios through two separate
classes, Class A and Class D, which provide for variations in sales loads,
distribution costs, transfer agent fees, voting rights and dividends.
DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS
All Portfolios may invest in the following investments unless specifically noted
otherwise.
AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS ("ADRs")--The Balanced, Capital Appreciation,
Equity Income, High Yield Bond, Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Value and Small Cap
Value Portfolios may invest in ADRs traded on registered exchanges or on NASDAQ.
The Large Cap Growth Portfolio may also invest in ADRs not traded on an
established exchange. While the Portfolios typically invest in sponsored ADRs,
joint arrangements between the issuer and the depositary, some ADRs purchased by
the Portfolios may be unsponsored. Unlike sponsored ADRs, the holders of
unsponsored ADRs bear all expenses and the depositary may not be obligated to
distribute shareholder communications or to pass through the voting rights on
the deposited securities.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES--The Bond, Core Fixed Income and High Yield Bond
Portfolios may invest in securities backed by automobile, credit-card or other
types of receivables, and in securities backed by other types of receivables or
other assets. Credit support for asset-backed securities may be based on the
underlying assets and/or provided by a third party through credit enhancements.
Credit enhancement techniques include letters of credit, insurance bonds,
limited guarantees (which are generally provided by the issuer), senior-
subordinated structures and overcollateralization.
BANKERS' ACCEPTANCES--A bankers' acceptance is a bill of exchange or time draft
drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank. It is used by corporations to
finance the shipment and storage of goods and to furnish dollar exchange.
Maturities are generally six months or less.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT--A certificate of deposit is a negotiable, interest-
bearing instrument with a specific maturity. Certificates of deposit are issued
by banks and savings and loan
S-2
<PAGE>
institutions in exchange for the deposit of funds, and normally can be traded in
the secondary market prior to maturity. Certificates of deposit have penalties
for early withdrawal.
COMMERCIAL PAPER--Commercial paper is the term used to designate unsecured,
short-term promissory notes issued by corporations and other entities.
Maturities on these issues vary from a day to nine months.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES--Convertible securities have characteristics similar to
both fixed income and equity securities. Because of the conversion feature, the
market value of convertible securities tends to move together with the market
value of the underlying stock. As a result, a Portfolio's selection of
convertible securities is based, to a great extent, on the potential for capital
appreciation that may exist in the underlying stock. The value of convertible
securities is also affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of
the issuer and any call provisions. The Bond, Capital Appreciation, Equity
Income, High Yield Bond, Mid-Cap, Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Small Cap
Growth and Small Cap Value Portfolios may invest in convertible securities.
FOREIGN SECURITIES--The Balanced, Capital Appreciation, Capital Growth, Equity
Income, High Yield Bond, Large Cap Growth and Large Cap Value Portfolios may
invest in U.S. dollar denominated obligations or securities of foreign issuers.
Permissible investments may consist of obligations of foreign branches of U.S.
banks and foreign banks, including European Certificates of Deposit, European
Time Deposits, Canadian Time Deposits, Yankee Certificates of Deposit and
investments in Canadian Commercial Paper, foreign securities and Europaper.
These instruments may subject the Portfolio to investment risks that differ in
some respects from those related to investments in obligations of U.S. issuers.
Such risks include future adverse political and economic developments, the
possible imposition of withholding taxes on interest or other income, possible
seizure, nationalization, or expropriation of foreign deposits, the possible
establishment of exchange controls or taxation at the source, greater
fluctuations in value due to changes in the exchange rates, or the adoption of
other foreign governmental restrictions which might adversely affect the payment
of principal and interest on such obligations. Such investments may also entail
higher custodial fees and sales commissions than domestic investments. Foreign
issuers of securities or obligations are often subject to accounting treatment
and engage in business practices different from those respecting domestic
issuers of similar securities or obligations. Foreign branches of U.S. banks and
foreign banks may be subject to less stringent reserve requirements than those
applicable to domestic branches of U.S. banks. In addition, the Bond, Core Fixed
Income and High Yield Bond Portfolios may invest in Yankee Obligations.
S-3
<PAGE>
LOWER RATED SECURITIES--The High Yield Bond Portfolio will invest in lower-rated
bonds commonly referred to as "junk bonds" or high-yield/high-risk securities.
Lower rated securities are defined as securities below the fourth highest rating
category by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO").
Such obligations are speculative and may be in default. There is no bottom limit
on the ratings of high-yield securities that may be purchased or held by the
Portfolio. In addition, the Portfolio may invest in unrated securities subject
to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus.
Certain Risk Factors Relating to High-Yield, High-Risk Securities. The
descriptions below are intended to supplement the discussion in the Prospectus
under "Risk Factors."
Growth of High-Yield Bond, High-Risk Bond Market. The widespread expansion
of government, consumer and corporate debt within the U.S. economy has made the
corporate sector more vulnerable to economic downturns or increased interest
rates. Further, an economic downturn could severely disrupt the market for
lower rated bonds and adversely affect the value of outstanding bonds and the
ability of the issuers to repay principal and interest.
Sensitivity to Interest Rate and Economic Changes. Lower rated bonds are
very sensitive to adverse economic changes and corporate developments. During
an economic down turn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly
leveraged issuers may experience financial stress that would adversely affect
their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to
meet projected business goals, and to obtain additional financing. If the
issuer of a bond defaulted on its obligations to pay interest or principal or
entered into bankruptcy proceedings, the Portfolio may incur losses or expenses
in seeking recovery of amounts owed to it. In addition, periods of economic
uncertainty and change can be expected to result in increased volatility of
market prices of high-yield, high-risk bonds and the Portfolio's net asset
value.
Payment Expectations. High-yield, high-risk bonds may contain redemption
or call provisions. If an issuer exercised these provisions in a declining
interest rate market, the Portfolio would have to replace the security with a
lower yielding security, resulting in a decreased return for investors.
Conversely, a high-yield, high-risk bond's value will decrease in a rising
interest rate market, as will the value of the Portfolio's assets. If the
Portfolio experiences significant unexpected net redemptions, this may force it
to sell high-yield, high-risk bonds without regard to their investment merits,
thereby decreasing the asset base upon which expenses can be spread and possibly
reducing the Portfolio's rate of return.
Liquidity and Valuation. There may be little trading in the secondary
market for particular bonds, which may affect adversely the Portfolio's ability
to value accurately or dispose of such bonds. Adverse publicity and investor
perception, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the
values and liquidity of high-yield, high-risk bonds, especially in a thin
market.
Legislation. Federal laws require the divestiture by federally insured
savings and loan associations of their investments in lower rated bonds and
limit the deductibility of interest by certain corporate issuers of high-yield
bonds. These laws could adversely affect the Portfolio's net asset value and
investment practices, the secondary market for high-yield securities, the
financial condition of issuers of these securities and the value of outstanding
high-yield securities.
Taxes. The Portfolio may purchase debt securities (such as zero-coupon or
pay-in-kind securities) that contain original issue discount. Original issue
discount that accrues in a taxable year is treated as earned by a Portfolio and
therefore is subject to the distribution requirements of the code. Because the
S-4
<PAGE>
original issue discount earned by the Portfolio in a taxable year may not be
represented by cash income, the Portfolio may have to dispose of other
securities and use the proceeds to make distributions to shareholders.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES--The Balanced, Bond, Core Fixed Income, and High
Yield Bond Portfolios may, consistent with their respective investment
objectives and policies, invest in mortgage-backed securities.
Mortgage-backed securities in which the Portfolios may invest represent pools of
mortgage loans assembled for sale to investors by various governmental agencies
such as the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") and government-
related organizations such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA")
and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), as well as by non-
governmental issuers such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions,
mortgage bankers, and private mortgage insurance companies. Although certain
mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by a third party or otherwise
similarly secured, the market value of the security, which may fluctuate, is not
so secured. If a Portfolio purchases a mortgage-backed security at a premium,
that portion may be lost if there is a decline in the market value of the
security whether resulting from changes in interest rates or prepayments in the
underlying mortgage collateral. As with other interest-bearing securities, the
prices of such securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates.
However, though the value of a mortgage-backed security may decline when
interest rates rise, the converse is not necessarily true since in periods of
declining interest rates the mortgages underlying the securities are prone to
prepayment. For this and other reasons, a mortgage-backed security's stated
maturity may be shortened by unscheduled prepayments on the underlying mortgages
and, therefore, it is not possible to predict accurately the security's return
to a Portfolio. In addition, regular payments received in respect of mortgage-
backed securities include both interest and principal. No assurance can be given
as to the return a Portfolio will receive when these amounts are reinvested.
A Portfolio may also invest in mortgage-backed securities that are
collateralized mortgage obligations structured on pools of mortgage pass-through
certificates or mortgage loans. For purposes of determining the average maturity
of a mortgage-backed security in its investment portfolio, the Core Fixed Income
Portfolio will utilize the expected average life of the security, as estimated
in good faith by the Portfolio's advisers.
There are a number of important differences among the agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that issue mortgage-backed securities
and among the securities that they issue. Mortgage-backed securities issued by
the GNMA include GNMA Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as "Ginnie
Maes") that are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by
GNMA and are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. GNMA is a
wholly-owned U.S. Government corporation within the Department of Housing and
Urban Development. GNMA certificates also are supported by the authority of GNMA
to borrow funds from the U.S. Treasury to make payments
S-5
<PAGE>
under its guarantee. Mortgage-backed securities issued by the FNMA include FNMA
Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as "Fannie Maes") that
are solely the obligations of the FNMA and are not backed by or entitled to the
full faith and credit of the United States. The FNMA is a government-sponsored
organization owned entirely by private stockholders. Fannie Maes are guaranteed
as to timely payment of the principal and interest by FNMA. Mortgage-backed
securities issued by the FHLMC include FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificates
(also known as "Freddie Macs" or "PC's"). The FHLMC is a corporate
instrumentality of the United States, created pursuant to an Act of Congress,
which is owned entirely by Federal Home Loan Banks. Freddie Macs are not
guaranteed by the United States or by any Federal Home Loan Banks and do not
constitute a debt or obligation of the United States or of any Federal Home Loan
Bank. Freddie Macs entitle the holder to timely payment of interest, which is
guaranteed by the FHLMC. The FHLMC guarantees either ultimate collection or
timely payment of all principal payments on the underlying mortgage loans. When
the FHLMC does not guarantee timely payment of principal, FHLMC may remit the
amount due on account of its guarantee of ultimate payment of principal at any
time after default on an underlying mortgage, but in no event later than one
year after it becomes payable.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES -- The Core Fixed Income Portfolio may invest in municipal
securities. The two principal classifications of Municipal Securities are
"general obligation" and "revenue" issues. General obligation issues are issues
involving the credit of an issuer possessing taxing power and are payable from
the issuer's general unrestricted revenues, although the characteristics and
method of enforcement of general obligation issues may vary according to the law
applicable to the particular issuer. Revenue issues are payable only from the
revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or other
specific revenue source. A Portfolio may also invest in "moral obligation"
issues, which are normally issued by special purpose authorities. Moral
obligation issues are not backed by the full faith and credit of the state and
are generally backed by the agreement of the issuing authority to request
appropriations from the state legislative body. Municipal Securities include
debt obligations issued by governmental entities to obtain funds for various
public purposes, such as the construction of a wide range of public facilities,
the refunding of outstanding obligations, the payment of general operating
expenses, and the extension of loans to other public institutions and
facilities. Certain private activity bonds that are issued by or on behalf of
public authorities to finance various privately-owned or operated facilities are
included within the term "Municipal Securities." Private activity bonds and
industrial development bonds are generally revenue bonds, the credit and quality
of which are directly related to the credit of the private user of the
facilities.
Municipal Securities may also include general obligation notes, tax anticipation
notes, bond anticipation notes, revenue anticipation notes, project notes,
certificates of indebtedness, demand notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
construction loan notes and other forms of short-term, tax-exempt loans. Such
instruments are issued with a short-term maturity in anticipation of the receipt
of tax funds, the proceeds of bond placements or other revenues. Project notes
are issued by a state or local housing agency and are sold by the Department of
Housing and Urban Development. While the issuing agency has the primary
obligation with respect to its project notes, they are also secured by the full
faith and credit of the United States through agreements with the issuing
authority which provide that, if required, the federal government will lend the
issuer an amount equal to the principal of and interest on the project notes.
The quality of Municipal Securities, both within a particular classification and
between classifications, will vary, and the yields on Municipal Securities
depend upon a variety of factors, including general money market conditions, the
financial condition of the issuer (or other entity whose financial resources are
supporting the securities), general conditions of the municipal bond market, the
size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligation and the rating(s)
of the issue. In this regard, it should be emphasized that the ratings of any
NRSRO are general and are not absolute standards of quality. Municipal
Securities with the same maturity, interest rate and rating(s) may have
different yields, while Municipal Securities of the same maturity and interest
rate with different rating(s) may have the same yield.
An issuer's obligations under its Municipal Securities are subject to the
provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting the rights and
remedies of creditors, such as the Federal Bankruptcy Code, and laws, if any,
which may be enacted by Congress or state legislatures extending the time for
payment of principal or interest, or both, or imposing other constraints upon
the enforcement of such obligations or upon the ability of municipalities to
levy taxes. The power or ability of an issuer to meet its obligations for the
payment of interest on and principal of its Municipal Securities may be
materially adversely affected by litigation or other conditions.
MUNICIPAL LEASES -- The Core Fixed Income Portfolio may invest in instruments,
or participations in instruments, issued in connection with lease obligations or
installment purchase contract obligations of municipalities ("municipal lease
obligations"). Although municipal lease obligations do not constitute general
obligations of the issuing municipality, a lease obligation is ordinarily backed
by the municipality's covenant to budget for, appropriate funds for, and make
the payments due under the lease obligation. However, certain lease obligations
contain "non-appropriation" clauses, which provide that the municipality has no
obligation to make lease or installment purchase payments in future years unless
money is appropriated for such purpose in the relevant years. Municipal lease
obligations are a relatively new form of financing, and the market for such
obligations is still developing. Municipal leases will be treated as liquid
only if they satisfy criteria set forth in guidelines established by the Board
of Trustees, and there can be no assurance that a market will exist or continue
to exist for any municipal lease obligation.
PAY-IN-KIND BONDS--Investments of the Bond, Core Fixed Income and High Yield
Bond Portfolios in fixed-income securities may include pay-in-kind bonds. These
are securities which at the issuer's option, pay interest in either cash or
additional securities, for a specified period. Pay-in-kind bonds, like zero
coupon bonds, are designed to give an issuer flexibility in managing cash flow.
Pay-in-kind bonds are expected to reflect the market value of the underlying
debt plus an amount representing accrued interest since the last payment.
Pay-in-kind bonds are usually less volatile than zero coupon bonds, but more
volatile than cash pay securities.
OPTIONS--Options are contracts that give one of the parties to the contract the
right to buy or sell the security that is subject to the option at a stated
price during the option period, and obligates the other party to the contract to
buy or sell such security at the stated price during the option period.
Each Portfolio may trade put and call options on securities and securities
indices, as the advisers determine is appropriate in seeking the Portfolio's
investment objective, and except as restricted by each Portfolio's investment
limitations as set forth below. See "Investment Limitations."
A put option gives the purchaser (a Portfolio) the right to sell, and imposes
on the writer an obligation to buy, the underlying security at the exercise
price during the option period. The advantage to a Portfolio of buying the
protective put is that if the price of the security falls during the option
period, the Portfolio may exercise the put and receive the higher price for the
security. However, if the security rises in value, the Portfolio will have paid
a premium for the put, which will expire unexercised.
S-6
<PAGE>
A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy and imposes on the writer (a
Portfolio) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the exercise price
during the option period. The advantage to a Portfolio of writing covered call
options is that the Portfolio receives a premium, which is additional income.
However, if the security rises in value, the Portfolio may not fully participate
in the market appreciation. During the option period, a covered call option
writer may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom such
call option was sold requiring the writer to deliver the underlying security
against payment of the exercise price. A Portfolio's obligation as the writer of
a covered call is terminated upon the expiration of the option period or at such
earlier time in which the writer effects a closing purchase transaction. As
noted above, a closing purchase transaction is one in which a Portfolio, when
obligated as a writer of an option, terminates its obligation by purchasing an
option of the same series as the option previously written. A closing purchase
transaction cannot be effected with respect to an option once the option writer
has received an exercise notice for such option.
The market value of an option generally reflects the market price of an
underlying security. Other principal factors affecting market value include
supply and demand, interest rates, the pricing volatility of the underlying
security and the time remaining until the expiration date.
The Portfolios will engage in option transactions only as hedging
transactions and not for speculative purposes.
RECEIPTS--Receipts are interests in separately traded interest and principal
component parts of U.S. Government obligations that are issued by banks or
brokerage firms and are created by depositing U.S. Government obligations into a
special account at a custodian bank. The custodian holds the interest and
principal payments for the benefit of the registered owners of the certificates
or receipts. The custodian arranges for the issuance of the certificates or
receipts evidencing ownership and maintains the register. Receipts include
"Treasury Receipts" ("TRs"), "Treasury Investment Growth Receipts" ("TIGRs"),
"Liquid Yield Option Notes," ("LYONs") and "Certificates of Accrual on Treasury
Securities" ("CATS"). LYONs, TIGRs and CATS are interests in private proprietary
accounts while TRs and STRIPS (See "U.S. Treasury Obligations") are interests in
accounts sponsored by the U.S. Treasury. Receipts are sold as zero coupon
securities, see "Zero Coupon Securities." The Bond, Capital Appreciation, Core
Fixed Income, Equity Income, and Large Cap Value Portfolios may invest in
receipts.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS--Repurchase agreements are agreements under which
securities are acquired from a securities dealer or bank subject to resale on an
agreed upon date and at an agreed upon price which includes principal and
interest. A Portfolio involved bears a risk of loss in the event that the other
party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and a Portfolio is
delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral
securities. An adviser enters into repurchase agreements only with financial
institutions that it deems to present minimal risk of bankruptcy during the term
of the agreement, based on guidelines that are periodically reviewed by the
Board of Trustees. These guidelines currently permit each Portfolio to enter
into repurchase agreements only with approved banks and primary securities
dealers, as recognized by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which have
minimum
S-7
<PAGE>
net capital of $100 million, or with a member bank of the Federal Reserve
System. Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans collateralized by the
underlying security. Repurchase agreements entered into by a Portfolio will
provide that the underlying security at all times shall have a value at least
equal to 102% of the price stated in the agreement. This underlying security
will be marked to market daily. The advisers will monitor compliance with
this requirement. Under all repurchase agreements entered into by a Portfolio,
the Custodian or its agent must take possession of the underlying collateral.
However, if the seller defaults, a Portfolio could realize a loss on the sale of
the underlying security to the extent the proceeds of the sale are less than the
resale price. In addition, even though the Bankruptcy Code provides protection
for most repurchase agreements, if the seller should be involved in bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings, a Portfolio may incur delay and costs in selling the
security and may suffer a loss of principal and interest if the Portfolio is
treated as an unsecured creditor.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES--Restricted securities are securities that may not be sold
freely to the public absent registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), or an exemption from registration. Section 4(2)
commercial paper is issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under
Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act, and is generally sold to institutional investors
who purchase for investment. Any resale of such commercial paper must be in an
exempt transaction, usually to an institutional investor through the issuer or
investment dealers who make a market on such commercial paper. Rule 144A
securities are securities re-sold in reliance on an exemption from registration
provided by Rule 144A under the 1933 Act.
SECURITIES LENDING--In order to generate additional income, a Portfolio may lend
its securities pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be continuously
secured by cash, securities of the U.S. Government or its agencies, or any
combination of cash and such securities, in an amount at least equal to the
market value of the loaned securities. Loans are made only to borrowers deemed
by the advisers to be in good standing and when, in the judgment of the
advisers, the consideration that can be earned currently from such loaned
securities justifies the attendant risk. Any loan may be terminated by either
party upon reasonable notice to the other party. Each of the Portfolios may use
the Distributor as a broker in these transactions.
TIME DEPOSITS--Time deposits are non-negotiable receipts issued by a bank in
exchange for the deposit of funds. Like a certificate of deposit, it earns a
specified rate of interest over a definite period of time; however, it cannot be
traded in the secondary market. Time deposits with a withdrawal penalty are
considered to be illiquid securities. The Large Cap Growth and Small Cap Value
Portfolios may invest in time deposits.
S-8
<PAGE>
VARIABLE OR FLOATING RATE INSTRUMENTS--Variable or floating rate instruments may
involve a demand feature and may include variable amount master demand notes
available through the Portfolios' Custodian. Variable or floating rate
instruments bear interest at a rate which varies with changes in market rates.
The holder of an instrument with a demand feature may tender the instrument back
to the issuer at par prior to maturity. A variable amount master demand note is
issued pursuant to a written agreement between the issuer and the holder, its
amount may be increased by the holder or decreased by the holder or issuer, it
is payable on demand, and the rate of interest varies based upon an agreed
formula. The quality of the underlying credit must, in the opinion of a
Portfolio's advisers, be equivalent to the long-term bond or commercial paper
ratings applicable to permitted investments for each Portfolio. Each Portfolio's
advisers will monitor on an ongoing basis the earning power, cash flow, and
liquidity ratios of the issuers of such instruments and will similarly monitor
the ability of an issuer of a demand instrument to pay principal and interest on
demand.
In case of obligations which include a put feature at the option of the debt
holder, the date of the put may be used as an effective maturity date for the
purpose of determining weighted average portfolio maturity.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES--Each Portfolio may purchase securities that involve the
purchase of debt obligations on a when-issued basis, in which case delivery and
payment normally take place within 45 days after the date of commitment to
purchase. A Portfolio will only make commitments to purchase obligations on a
when-issued basis with the intention of actually acquiring the securities, but
may sell them before the settlement date. The when-issued securities are subject
to market fluctuation, and no interest accrues to the purchaser during this
period. The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on
the securities are each fixed at the time the purchaser enters into the
commitment. Purchasing when-issued obligations results in leveraging, and can
involve a risk that the yields available in the market when the delivery takes
place may actually be higher than those obtained in the transaction itself. In
that case there could be an unrealized loss at the time of delivery. A Portfolio
will establish a segregated account with the Custodian and maintain liquid
assets in an amount at least equal in value to that Portfolio's commitments to
purchase when-issued securities. If the value of these assets declines, the
Portfolio involved will place additional liquid assets in the account on a daily
basis so that the value of the assets in the account is equal to the amount of
such commitments.
ZERO COUPON SECURITIES--STRIPS and Receipts (TRs, TIGRs, LYONs and CATS) are
sold as zero coupon securities, that is, fixed income securities that have been
stripped of their unmatured interest
S-9
<PAGE>
coupons. Zero coupon securities are sold at a (usually substantial) discount and
redeemed at face value at their maturity date without interim cash payments of
interest or principal. The amount of this discount is accreted over the life of
the security, and the accretion constitutes the income earned on the security
for both accounting and tax purposes. Because of these features, the market
prices of zero coupon securities are generally more volatile than the market
prices of securities that have similar maturity but that pay interest
periodically. Zero coupon securities are likely to respond to a greater degree
to interest rate changes than are non-zero coupon securities with similar
maturity and credit qualities. See also "Taxes."
CORPORATE ZERO COUPON SECURITIES--Corporate zero coupon securities are: (i)
notes or debentures which do not pay current interest and are issued at
substantial discounts from par value, or (ii) notes or debentures that pay no
current interest until a stated date one or more years into the future, after
which date the issuer is obligated to pay interest until maturity, usually at a
higher rate than if interest were payable from the date of issuance, and may
also make interest payments in kind (e.g., with identical zero coupon
securities). Such corporate zero coupon securities, in addition to the risks
identified above, are subject to the risk of the issuer's failure to pay
interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. See
"Taxes."
Other Investments
The Trust is not prohibited from investing in obligations of banks that are
clients of SEI Corporation ("SEI"). However, the purchase of shares of the Trust
by them or by their customers will not be a consideration in determining which
bank obligations the Trust will purchase. The Trust will not purchase
obligations of any of the advisers to the Trust. Distributions by a Portfolio
out of income from taxable securities will generally be taxable to shareholders
of such Portfolio as ordinary income.
INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS
Fundamental Policies
No Portfolio may:
1. Borrow money in an amount exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of its total
assets, provided that, for purposes of this limitation, investment
strategies which either obligate a Portfolio to purchase securities or
require a Portfolio to segregate assets are not considered to be
borrowings. To the extent that its borrowings exceed 5% of its assets,
(i) all borrowings will be repaid before making additional investments
and any interest paid on such borrowings will reduce income; and (ii) asset
coverage of at least 300% is required.
2. Make loans if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be
loaned to other parties, except that each Portfolio may (i) purchase or
hold debt instruments in accordance with its investment objective and
policies; (ii) enter into repurchase agreements; and (iii) lend its
securities.
3. Purchase or sell real estate, physical commodities, or commodities
contracts, except that each Portfolio may purchase (i) marketable
securities issued by companies which own or invest in real estate
(including real estate investment trusts), commodities, or commodities
contracts; and (ii) commodities contracts relating to financial
instruments, such as financial futures contracts and options on such
contracts.
4. Issue senior securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) except as permitted by
rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC").
5. Act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers except as it may be
deemed an underwriter in selling a portfolio security.
S-10
<PAGE>
6. Invest in interests in oil, gas, or other mineral exploration or
development programs and oil, gas or mineral leases.
The foregoing percentages will apply at the time of the purchase of a security
and shall not be considered violated unless an excess or deficiency occurs
immediately after or as a result of a purchase of such security. These
investment limitations and the investment limitations in each Prospectus are
fundamental policies of the Trust and may not be changed without shareholder
approval.
Non-Fundamental Policies
No Portfolio may:
1. Pledge, mortgage or hypothecate assets except to secure borrowings
permitted by the Portfolio's fundamental limitation on borrowing.
2. Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control.
3. Purchase securities on margin or effect short sales, except that each
Portfolio may (i) obtain short-term credits as necessary for the clearance
of security transactions; (ii) provide initial and variation margin
payments in connection with transactions involving futures contracts and
options on such contracts; and (iii) make short sales "against the box" or
in compliance with the SEC's position regarding the asset segregation
requirements imposed by Section 18 of the 1940 Act.
4. Invest its assets in securities of any investment company, except (i) by
purchase in the open market involving only customary brokers' commissions;
(ii) in connection with mergers, acquisitions of assets, or consolidations;
or (iii) as otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act.
5. Purchase or retain securities of an issuer if, to the knowledge of the
Trust, an officer, trustee, partner or director of the Trust or any
investment adviser of the Trust owns beneficially more than 1/2 of the 1%
of the shares or securities of such issuer and all such officers, trustees,
partners and directors owning more than 1/2 of 1% of such shares or
securities together own more than 5% of such shares or securities.
6. Purchase securities of any company which has (with predecessors) a record
of less than three years continuing operations if, as a result, more than
5% of the total assets (taken at fair market value) would be invested in
such securities.
7. Purchase or hold illiquid securities, i.e., securities that cannot be
disposed of for their approximate carrying value in seven days or less
(which term includes repurchase agreements and time deposits maturing in
more than seven days) if, in the aggregate, more than 15% of its net assets
would be invested in illiquid securities. Unregistered securities sold in
reliance on the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act
and securities exempt from registration on resale pursuant to Rule 144A of
the 1933 Act may be treated as liquid securities under procedures adopted
by the Board of Trustees.
8. Purchase securities which must be registered under the 1933 Act, as
amended, before they may be sold to the public, if in the aggregate, more
than 15% of its net assets would be invested in such restricted securities.
Unregistered securities issued in reliance on the exemption from
registration in Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and securities exempted from
registration upon re-sale by Rule 144A under 1933 Act are not deemed to be
restricted securities for the purposes of this limitation.
Under rules and regulations established by the SEC, a Portfolio is prohibited
from acquiring the securities of other investment companies if, as a result of
such acquisition, the Portfolio owns more than 3% of the total voting stock of
the company; securities issued by any one investment company represent more than
5% of the total Portfolio assets; or securities (other than treasury stock)
issued by all investment companies represent more than 10% of the total assets
of the Portfolio. A Portfolio's purchase of such investment company securities
results in the bearing of expenses such that shareholders would indirectly bear
a proportionate share the operating expenses of such investment companies,
including advisory fees.
Each of the foregoing percentage limitations (except with respect to the
limitation of investing in illiquid securities) apply at the time of purchase.
These limitations are non-fundamental and may be changed by the Trust's Board of
Trustees without a vote of shareholders.
S-11
<PAGE>
Additional Restrictions
The following are non-fundamental investment limitations that are currently
required by one or more states in which the Trust sells shares of the
Portfolios. These limitations are in addition to, and in some cases more
restrictive than, the fundamental and non-fundamental investment limitations
listed above. A limitation may be changed or eliminated without shareholder
approval if the relevant state changes or eliminates its policy regarding such
investment restriction. As long as a Portfolio's shares are registered for sale
in such states, it may not:
1. Invest more than 5% of its net assets in warrants; provided that of this 5%
no more than 2% will be in warrants that are not listed on the New York
Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange.
DESCRIPTION OF RATINGS
Description of Corporate Bond Ratings
The following descriptions of corporate bond ratings have been published by
Moody's Investor's Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard and Poor's Corporation
("S & P"), Duff and Phelps, Inc. ("Duff"), Fitch Investor's Services, Inc.
("Fitch"), IBCA Limited ("IBCA") and Thomson BankWatch ("Thomson"),
respectively.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S LONG-TERM RATINGS
Aaa Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt
edged." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable
margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely
to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of such issues.
Aa Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high-grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection
may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements
may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make
the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than the Aaa securities.
A Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate, but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.
S-12
<PAGE>
Baa Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations (i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured). Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.
DESCRIPTION OF S & P'S LONG-TERM RATINGS
Investment Grade
AAA Debt rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P. Capacity to pay
interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
AA Debt rated 'AA' has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay
principal and differs from the highest rated debt only in small degree.
A Debt rated 'A' has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal,
although it is somewhat more susceptible to adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher-rated
categories.
BBB Debt rated 'BBB' is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay
interest and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate
protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing
circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay
interest and repay principal for debt in this category than in higher
rated categories.
DESCRIPTION OF DUFF'S LONG-TERM RATINGS
AAA Highest credit quality. The risk factors are negligible, being only
slightly more than for risk-free U.S. Treasury debt.
AA+ High credit quality. Protection factors are strong.
AA- Risk is modest but may vary slightly from time to time because of economic
conditions.
A+ Protection factors are average but adequate. However,
A- risk factors are more variable and greater in periods of economic stress.
BBB+ Below average protection factors but still considered
BBB- sufficient for prudent investment. Considerable variability in risk during
economic cycles.
DESCRIPTION OF FITCH'S LONG-TERM RATINGS
Investment Grade Bond
AAA Bonds rated AAA are judged to be strictly high grade, broadly marketable,
suitable for investment by trustees and fiduciary institutions liable to
slight market fluctuation other than through changes in the money rate.
The prime feature of an AAA bond is a showing of earnings several times or
many times greater than interest requirements, with such stability of
applicable earnings that safety is beyond reasonable question whatever
changes occur in conditions.
S-13
<PAGE>
AA Bonds rated AA are judged to be of safety virtually beyond question and
are readily salable, whose merits are not unlike those of the AAA class,
but whose margin of safety is less strikingly broad. The issue may be the
obligation of a small company, strongly secured but influenced as to
rating by the lesser financial power of the enterprise and more local type
market.
A Bonds rated A are considered to be investment grade and of high credit
quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal is
considered to be strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in
economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.
BBB Bonds rated BBB are considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory
credit quality. The obligor's ability to pay interest and repay principal
is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these
bonds, and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the
ratings of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for
bonds with higher ratings.
DESCRIPTION OF IBCA'S LONG-TERM RATINGS
AAA Obligations rated AAA have the lowest expectation of investment risk.
Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is substantial,
such that adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions
are unlikely to increase investment risk significantly.
AA Obligations for which there is a very low expectation of investment risk
are rated AA. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest is
substantial. Adverse changes in business, economic or financial conditions
may increase investment risk albeit not very significantly.
A Bonds rated A are obligations for which there is a low expectation of
investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal and interest
is strong, although adverse changes in business, economic or financial
conditions may lead to increased investment risk.
BBB Bonds rated BBB are obligations for which there is currently a low
expectation of investment risk. Capacity for timely repayment of principal
and interest is adequate, although adverse changes in business, economic
or financial conditions are more likely to lead to increased investment
risk than for obligations in other categories.
DESCRIPTION OF THOMSON'S LONG-TERM DEBT RATINGS
Investment Grade
AAA Bonds rated AAA indicate that the ability to repay principal and interest
on a timely basis is very high.
AA Bonds rated AA indicate a superior ability to repay principal and interest
on a timely basis, with limited incremental risk compared to issues rated
in the highest category.
A Bonds rated A indicate the ability to repay principal and interest is
strong. Issues rated A could be more vulnerable to adverse developments
(both internal and external) than obligations with higher ratings.
S-14
<PAGE>
BBB Bonds rated BBB indicate an acceptable capacity to repay principal and
interest. Issues rated BBB are, however, more vulnerable to adverse
developments (both internal and external) than obligations with higher
ratings.
Description of Commercial Paper Ratings
The following descriptions of commercial paper ratings have been published by
Moody's, Standard and Poor's, Duff and Phelps, Fitch, IBCA and Thomson
BankWatch, respectively.
DESCRIPTION OF MOODY'S SHORT-TERM RATINGS
PRIME-1 Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior
ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Prime-1 repayment
ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics:
- --Leading market positions in well-established industries.
- --High rates of return on funds employed.
- --Conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and ample
asset protection.
- --Broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges and high
internal cash generation.
- --Well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of
alternate liquidity.
PRIME-2 Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong
ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. This will normally
be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.
Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to
variation. Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more
affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.
S & P'S SHORT-TERM RATINGS
A-1 This highest category indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely
payment is strong. Debt determined to possess extremely strong safety
characteristics is denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.
A-2 Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is
satisfactory. However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for
issues designated 'A-1'.
DESCRIPTION OF DUFF'S SHORT-TERM RATINGS
Duff 1+ Highest certainty of timely payment. Short-term liquidity, including
internal operating factors and/or access to alternative sources of
funds, is outstanding, and safety is just below risk-free U.S. Treasury
short-term obligations.
Duff 1 Very high certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors are excellent
and supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are
minor.
Duff 1- High certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors are strong and
supported by good fundamental protection factors. Risk factors are very
small.
Good Grade
S-15
<PAGE>
Duff 2 Good certainty of timely payment. Liquidity factors and company
fundamentals are sound. Although ongoing funding needs may enlarge
total financing requirements, access to capital markets is good. Risk
factors are small.
DESCRIPTION OF FITCH'S SHORT-TERM RATINGS
F-1+ Exceptionally Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating are
regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely
payment.
F-1 Very Strong Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating reflect an
assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than issues
rated 'F-1+'
F-2 Good Credit Quality. Issues assigned this rating have a satisfactory
degree of assurance for timely payment, but the margin of safety is not
as great as for issues assigned 'F-1+' and 'F-1' ratings.
LOC The symbol LOC indicates that the rating is based on a letter of credit
issued by a commercial bank.
DESCRIPTION OF IBCA'S SHORT-TERM RATINGS (Up to 12 months)
A1+ Obligations supported by the highest capacity for timely repayment.
A1 Obligations supported by a strong capacity for timely repayment.
A2 Obligations supported by a satisfactory capacity for timely repayment,
although such capacity may be susceptible to adverse changes in
business, economic, or financial conditions.
DESCRIPTION OF THOMSON'S SHORT-TERM RATINGS
TBW-1 The highest category; indicates a very high likelihood that principal
and interest will be paid on a timely basis.
TBW-2 The second-highest category; while the degree of safety regarding
timely repayment of principal and interest is strong, the relative
degree of safety is not as high as for issues rated "TBW-1".
THE MANAGER AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGENT
The Management Agreement provides that SFM shall not be liable for any error of
judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection
with the matters to which the Management Agreement relates, except a loss
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of
SFM in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard of its duties
and obligations thereunder.
The continuance of the Management Agreement must be specifically approved at
least annually (i) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees or by the vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio, and (ii) by the
vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to the
Management Agreement or an "interested person" (as that term is defined in the
1940 Act) of any party thereto, cast in person at a meeting called for the
purpose of voting on such approval. The Management
S-16
<PAGE>
Agreement is terminable at any time as to any Portfolio without penalty by the
Trustees of the Trust, by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the
Portfolio or by SFM on not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days written
notice.
SFM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI, was organized as a Delaware corporation
in 1969, and has its principal business offices at 680 East Swedesford Road,
Wayne, Pennsylvania 19087-1658. Alfred P. West, Jr., Henry H. Greer and Carmen
V. Romeo constitute the Board of Directors of SFM. Mr. West serves as the
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of SFM and SEI.
Mr. Greer serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of SFM and SEI. SEI
and its subsidiaries are leading providers of funds evaluation services, trust
accounting systems, and brokerage and information services to financial
institutions, institutional investors and money managers. SFM also serves as
manager to the following other mutual funds: The Achievement Funds Trust, The
Advisors' Inner Circle Fund, The Arbor Fund, ARK Funds, Bishop Street Funds,
Conestoga Family of Funds, CoreFunds, Inc., CrestFunds, Inc.(C), CUFUND, First
American Funds, Inc., First American Investment Funds, Inc., Insurance
Investment Products Trust, Inventor Funds, Inc., Marquis Funds(R), Morgan
Grenfell Investment Trust, The PBHG Funds, Inc., The Pillar Funds, Rembrandt
Funds(R), 1784 Funds, SEI Daily Income Trust, SEI Index Funds, SEI Institutional
Managed Trust, SEI International Trust, SEI Liquid Asset Trust, SEI Tax Exempt
Trust, Stepstone Funds, STI Classic Funds and STI Classic Variable Trust.
If operating expenses of any Portfolio exceed limitations established by certain
states, SFM will pay such excess. SFM will not be required to bear expenses of
any Portfolio to an extent which would result in the Portfolio's inability to
qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code. The term "expenses" is defined in such laws or regulations, and
generally excludes brokerage commissions, distribution expenses, taxes, interest
and extraordinary expenses.
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995, the Portfolios
paid fees to the Manager as follows:

THE ADVISERS AND SUB-ADVISERS
The Advisory Agreement and certain of the Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that
the Adviser (or Sub-Adviser) shall not be protected against any liability to the
Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on its part in the performance of its duties, or from reckless
disregard of its obligations or duties thereunder. In addition, certain of the
Sub-Advisory Agreements provide that the Sub-Adviser shall not be protected
against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholder by reason of willful
misfeasance, negligence or bad faith on its part in the performance of its
duties, or from reckless disregard of its obligations or duties thereunder.
The continuance of each Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement must be specifically
approved at least annually (i) by the vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares of that Portfolio or by the Trustees, and (ii) by the vote of a majority
of the Trustees who are not parties to such Agreement or "interested persons" of
any party thereto, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting
on such approval. Each Advisory or Sub-Advisory Agreement will terminate
automatically in the event of its assignment, and is terminable at any time
without penalty by the Trustees of the Trust or, with respect to a Portfolio, by
a majority of the outstanding shares of that Portfolio, on not less than 30 days
nor more than 60 days written notice to the Adviser (or Sub-Adviser) or by the
Adviser (or Sub-Adviser) on 90 days written notice to the Trust. However, SFM is
currently seeking an exemptive order from the SEC that would permit SFM, with
the approval of the Trust's Board of Trustees, to retain sub-advisers for a
Portfolio without submitting the sub-advisory agreement to a vote of the
Portfolio's shareholders. If granted, the exemptive relief will permit the non-
disclosure of amounts payable by SFM under such sub-advisory agreements. The
Trust will notify shareholders in the event of any change in the identity of the
sub-adviser for a Portfolio.
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995, the Portfolios
paid fees to the advisers as follows:

Capital Appreciation, Equity Income, High Yield Bond, Core Fixed Income, Large
Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Mid-Cap, Small Cap Growth and Small Cap Value
Portfolios (the "Class D Distribution Plan") (the foregoing two plans are also
referred to as the "Plans") in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act (which regulates circumstances under which an investment
company may directly or indirectly bear expenses relating to the distribution of
its shares). In this regard, the Board of Trustees has determined that the Plans
and the Distribution Agreement are in the best interests of the shareholders.
Continuance of the Plans must be approved annually by a majority of the Trustees
of the Trust and by a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons"
of the Trust (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act) and who have no direct or
indirect financial interest in the operation of a Distribution Plan or in any
agreements related thereto ("Qualified Trustees"). The Plans require that
quarterly written reports of amounts spent under the Plans and the purposes of
such expenditures be furnished to and reviewed by the Trustees. The Plans may
not be amended to increase materially the amount which may be spent thereunder
without approval by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio or
class affected. All material amendments of the Plans will require approval by a
majority of the Trustees of the Trust and of the Qualified Trustees.
The Class D Distribution Plan adopted by the Class D shareholders provides that
the Trust will pay the Distributor a fee of up to .30% of the average daily net
assets of a Portfolio's Class D class which the Distributor can use to
compensate broker-dealers and service providers, including SEI Financial
Services Company and its affiliates which provide distribution related services
to Class D shareholders or their customers who beneficially own Class D shares.

<PAGE>
The distribution-related services that may be provided under the Plans include
establishing and maintaining customer accounts and records; aggregating and
processing purchase and redemption requests from customers; placing net purchase
and redemption orders with the Distributor; automatically investing customer
account cash balances; providing periodic statements to customers; arranging for
wires; answering customer inquiries concerning their investments; assisting
customers in changing dividend options, account designations, and addresses;
performing sub-accounting functions; processing dividend payments from the Trust
on behalf of customers; and forwarding shareholder communications from the Trust
(such as proxies, shareholder reports, and dividend distribution, and tax
notices) to these customers with respect to investments in the Trust. Certain
state securities laws may require those financial institutions providing such
distribution services to register as dealers pursuant to state law.
Except to the extent that SFM (as Manager) and the Portfolio's advisers
benefitted through increased fees from an increase in the net assets of the
Trust which may have resulted in part from the expenditures, no interested
person of the Trust nor any Trustee of the Trust who is not an interested person
of the Trust had a direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
Distribution Plans or related agreements.
Although banking laws and regulations prohibit banks from distributing shares of
open-end investment companies such as the Trust, according to an opinion issued
to the staff of the SEC by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency,
financial institutions are not prohibited from acting in other capacities for
investment companies, such as providing shareholder services. Should future
legislative, judicial or administrative action prohibit or restrict the
activities of financial institutions in connection with providing shareholder
services, the Trust may be required to alter materially or discontinue its
arrangements with such financial institutions.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the Portfolios incurred the
following distribution expenses:

PERFORMANCE
From time to time, each Portfolio may advertise yield and/or total return. These
figures will be based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate
future performance.
The yield of a Portfolio refers to the annualized income generated by an
investment in the Portfolio over a specified 30-day period. The yield is
calculated by assuming that the income generated by the investment during that
period is generated each period over one year and is shown as a percentage of
the investment. In particular, yield will be calculated according to the
following formula: Yield = 2[((a-b)/cd) + 1)/6/-1], where a = dividends and
interest earned during the period; b = expenses accrued for the period (net of
reimbursement); c = the current daily number of shares outstanding during the
period that were entitled to receive dividends; and d = the maximum offering
price per share on the last day of the period.
Based on the foregoing, the 30-day yield and 30-day tax equivalent yield for the
Portfolios for the 30-day period ended September 30, 1995 were as follows:

The total return of a Portfolio refers to the average compounded rate of return
to a hypothetical investment for designated time periods (including, but not
limited to, the period from which the Portfolio commenced operations through the
specified date), assuming that the entire investment is redeemed at the end of
each period. In particular, total return will be calculated according to the
following formula: P(1 + T)/n/ = ERV, where P = a hypothetical initial payment
of $1,000; T = average annual total return; n = number of years; and ERV =
ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning
of the designated time period as of the end of such period.
Based on the foregoing, the average annual total returns for the Portfolios from
inception through September 30, 1995 and for the one, five and ten year periods
ended September 30, 1995, were as follows:

The Portfolios may, from time to time, compare their performance to other mutual
funds tracked by mutual fund rating services, to broad groups of comparable
mutual funds or to unmanaged indices which may assume investment of dividends
but generally do not reflect deductions for administrative and management costs.
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
The purchase and redemption price of shares is the net asset value of each
share. A Portfolio's securities are valued by SFM pursuant to valuations
provided by an independent pricing service (generally the last quoted sale
price). Portfolio securities listed on a securities exchange for which market
quotations are available are valued at the last quoted sale price on each
Business Day (defined as days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for
business ("Business Day")) or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most
recently quoted bid price. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are
readily available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price. The pricing
service may also use a matrix system to determine valuations. This system
considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, call features,
ratings and developments relating to specific securities in arriving at
valuations. The procedures of the pricing service and its valuations are
reviewed by the officers of the Trust under the general supervision of the
Trustees.
It is currently the Trust's policy to pay all redemptions in cash. The Trust
retains the right, however, to alter this policy to provide for redemptions in
whole or in part by a distribution in kind of readily marketable securities held
by a Portfolio in lieu of cash. Shareholders may incur brokerage charges on the
sale of any such securities so received in payment of redemptions. However, a
shareholder will at all times be entitled to aggregate cash redemptions from all
Portfolios of the Trust during any 90-day period of up to the lesser of $250,000
or 1% of the Trust's net assets.
A gain or loss for federal income tax purposes may be realized by a taxable
shareholder upon an in-kind redemption depending upon the shareholder's basis in
the shares of the Trust redeemed.
Purchases and redemptions of shares of the Portfolios may be made on any day the
New York Stock Exchange is open for business. Currently, the following holidays
are observed by the Trust: New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
The Trust reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption and/or to
postpone the date of payment upon redemption for any period during which trading
on the New York Stock Exchange is
S-30
<PAGE>
restricted, or during the existence of an emergency (as determined by the SEC by
rule or regulation) as a result of which disposal or evaluation of the portfolio
securities is not reasonably practicable, or for such other periods as the SEC
may by order permit. The Trust also reserves the right to suspend sales of
shares of the Portfolios for any period during which the New York Stock
Exchange, the Manager, the Distributor, and/or the Custodian are not open
for business.
Reductions in Sales Charges
In calculating the sales charge rates applicable to current purchases of Class D
shares, members of the following affinity groups and clients of the following
broker-dealers, each of which has entered into an agreement with the
Distributor, are entitled to the following percentage-based discounts from the
otherwise applicable sales charge:

Those members or clients who take advantage of a percentage-based reduction in
the sales charge during the offering period noted above may continue to purchase
shares at the reduced sales charge rate after the offering period relating to
each such purchaser's affinity group or broker-dealer relationship has
terminated.
For more information regarding reductions in sales charges, please contact the
Distributor at 1-800-437-6016.
SHAREHOLDER SERVICES
The following is a description of plans and privileges by which the sale charges
imposed on the Class D shares of the Bond, Capital Appreciation, Equity Income,
High Yield Bond, Core Fixed Income, Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Small Cap
Growth, Small Cap Value and Mid-Cap Portfolios may be reduced.
Right of Accumulation: A shareholder qualifies for cumulative quantity discounts
when his or her new investment, together with the current market value of all
holdings of that shareholder in certain eligible portfolios, reaches a discount
level. See "Purchase and Redemption of Shares" in the Prospectuses for the sales
charge on quantity purchases.
Letter Of Intent: The reduced sales charges are also applicable to the aggregate
amount of purchases made by any such purchaser previously enumerated within a
13-month period pursuant to a written Letter of Intent provided to the
Distributor, that does not legally bind the signer to purchase any set number of
shares and provides for the holding in escrow by the Administrator of 5% of the
amount purchased until such purchase is completed within the 13-month period. A
Letter of Intent may be dated to include shares purchased up to
S-31
<PAGE>
90 days prior to the date the Letter of Intent is signed. The 13-month period
begins on the date of the earliest purchase. If the intended investment is not
completed, the Administrator will surrender an appropriate number of the
escrowed shares for redemption in order to recover the difference between the
sales charge imposed under the Letter of Intent and the sales charge that would
have otherwise been imposed.
Distribution Investment Option: Distributions of dividends and capital gains
made by the Portfolios may be automatically invested in shares of one of the
Portfolios if shares of the Portfolio are available for sale. Such investments
will be subject to initial investment minimums, as well as additional purchase
minimums. A shareholder considering the Distribution Investment Option should
obtain and read the prospectus of the other Portfolios and consider the
differences in objectives and policies before making any investment.
Reinstatement Privilege: A shareholder who has redeemed shares of any of the
Portfolios has a one-time right to reinvest the redemption proceeds in shares of
the Portfolios at their net asset value as of the time of reinvestment. Such a
reinvestment must be made within 30 days of the redemption and is limited to the
amount of the redemption proceeds. Although redemptions and repurchases of
shares are taxable events, a reinvestment within such 30-day period in the same
fund is considered a "wash sale" and results in the inability to recognize
currently all or a portion of a loss realized on the original redemption for
federal income tax purposes. The investor must notify the Transfer Agent at the
time the trade is placed that the transaction is a reinvestment.
Exchange Privilege: Some or all of a Portfolio's Class D shares for which
payment has been received (i.e., an established account), may be exchanged for
Class D shares of other portfolios of the Trust or of SEI Liquid Asset Trust,
SEI Tax Exempt Trust, SEI Daily Income Trust and SEI International Trust ("SEI
Funds"). Exchanges are made at net asset value plus any applicable sales charge.
SEI Funds' portfolios that are not money market portfolios currently impose a
sales charge on Class D shares. A shareholder who exchanges into one of these
"non-money market" portfolios will have to pay a sales charge on any portion of
the exchanged Class D shares for which he or she has not previously paid a sales
charge. If a shareholder has paid a sales charge on Class D shares, no
additional sales charge will be assessed when he or she exchanges those Class D
shares for other Class D shares. If a shareholder buys Class D shares of a "non-
money market" fund and receives a sales load waiver, he or she will be deemed to
have paid the sales load for purposes of this exchange privilege. In calculating
any sales charge payable on an exchange transaction, the SEI Funds will assume
that the first shares a shareholder exchanges are those on which he or she has
already paid a sales charge. Sales charge waivers may also be available under
certain circumstances, as described in the portfolios' prospectuses. The Trust
reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the exchange privilege
discussed herein, or to terminate the exchange privilege, upon sixty days'
notice. Exchanges will be made only after proper instructions in writing or by
telephone (an "Exchange Request") are received for an established account by the
Distributor.
A shareholder may exchange the shares of each Portfolio's Class D shares, for
which good payment has been received, in his or her account at any time,
regardless of how long he or she has held his or her shares.
Each Exchange Request must be in proper form (i.e., if in writing, signed by the
----
record owner(s) exactly as the shares are registered; if by telephone-proper
account identification is given by the dealer or shareholder of record), and
each exchange must involve either shares having an aggregate value of at least
$1,000 or all the shares in the account. Each exchange involves the redemption
of the shares of a Portfolio (the "Old Portfolio") to be exchanged and the
purchase at net asset value (i.e., without a sales charge) of the shares of the
----
other portfolios (the "New Portfolios"). Any gain or loss on the redemption of
the shares exchanged is
S-32
<PAGE>
reportable on the shareholder's federal income tax return, unless such shares
were held in a tax-deferred retirement plan or other tax-exempt account. If the
Exchange Request is received by the Distributor in writing or by telephone on
any business day prior to the redemption cut-off time specified in each
Prospectus, the exchange usually will occur on that day if all the restrictions
set forth above have been complied with at that time. However, payment of the
redemption proceeds by the Old Portfolios, and thus the purchase of shares of
the New Portfolios, may be delayed for up to seven days if the Portfolio
determines that such delay would be in the best interest of all of its
shareholders. Investment dealers which have satisfied criteria established by
the Portfolios may also communicate a Shareholder's Exchange Request to the
Portfolios subject to the restrictions set forth above. No more than five
exchange requests may be made in any one telephone Exchange Request.
TAXES
The following is only a summary of certain additional federal tax considerations
generally affecting the Portfolios and their shareholders that are not described
in the Portfolios' prospectuses. No attempt is made to present a detailed
explanation of the federal, state or local tax treatment of the Portfolios or
their shareholders, and the discussion here and in the Portfolios' prospectuses
is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
This discussion of federal income tax consequences is based on the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the regulations issued
thereunder, in effect on the date of this Statement of Additional Information.
New legislation, as well as administrative changes or court decisions, may
significantly change the conclusions expressed herein, and may have a
retroactive effect with respect to the transactions contemplated herein.
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes
and is not combined with the Trust's other Portfolios. Each Portfolio intends
to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the
Code so that it will be relieved of federal income tax on that part of its
income that is distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify for treatment
as a RIC, a Portfolio must distribute annually to its shareholders at least 90%
of its investment company taxable income (generally, net investment income plus
the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital
losses) ("Distribution Requirement") and also must meet several additional
requirements. Among these requirements are the following: (i) at least 90% of a
Portfolio's gross income each taxable year must be derived from dividends,
interest, payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale or
other disposition of stock or securities, or other income derived with respect
to its business of investing in such stock or securities; (ii) less than 30% of
a Portfolio's gross income each taxable year may be derived from the sale or
other disposition of stock or securities held for less than three months; (iii)
at the close of each quarter of a Portfolio's taxable year, at least 50% of the
value of its total assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S.
government securities, securities of other RICs and other securities, with such
other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does
not exceed 5% of the value of a Portfolio's assets and that does not represent
more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer; and (iv) at
the close of each quarter of a Portfolio's taxable year, not more than 25% of
the value of its assets may be invested in securities (other than U.S.
Government securities or the securities of other RICs) of any one issuer or of
two or more issuers that the Portfolio controls and which are engaged in the
same, similar, or related trades or businesses.
S-33
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the Distribution Requirement described above, which only
requires a Portfolio to distribute at least 90% of its annual investment company
taxable income and does not require any minimum distribution of net capital
gain, a Portfolio will be subject to a nondeductible 4% federal excise tax to
the extent it fails to distribute by the end of any calendar year at least 98%
of its ordinary income for that year and 98% of its capital gain net income (the
excess of short- and long-term capital gain over short- and long-term capital
loss) for the one-year period ending on October 31 of that year, plus certain
other amounts. Each Portfolio intends to make sufficient distributions to avoid
liability for the federal excise tax. A Portfolio may in certain circumstances
be required to liquidate portfolio investments in order to make sufficient
distributions to avoid federal excise tax liability when the investment advisor
might not otherwise have chosen to do so, and liquidation of investments in such
circumstances may affect the ability of a Portfolio to satisfy the requirements
for qualification as a RIC.
If capital gain distributions have been made with respect to shares that are
sold at a loss after being held for six months or less, then the loss is treated
as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the capital gain distributions.
If a Portfolio fails to qualify as a RIC for any year, all of its income will be
subject to tax at corporate rates, and its distributions (including capital gain
distributions) generally will be taxable as ordinary income dividends to its
shareholders, subject to the dividends received deduction for corporate
shareholders who have held shares for more than 45 days.
A Portfolio will be required in certain cases to withhold and remit to the
United States Treasury 31% of amounts payable to any shareholder who (1) has
provided the Portfolio either an incorrect tax identification number or no
number at all, (2) who is subject to backup withholding by the Internal Revenue
Service for failure to properly report payments of interest or dividends, or (3)
who has failed to certify to the Portfolio that such shareholder is not subject
to backup withholding.
With respect to investments in STRIPS, TR's, TIGR's, LYONs, and CATS and other
Zero coupon securities which are sold at original issue discount and thus do not
make periodic cash interest payments, a Portfolio will be required to include as
part of its current income the imputed interest on such obligations even though
the Portfolio has not received any interest payments on such obligations during
that period. Because each Portfolio distributes all of its net investment income
to its shareholders, a Portfolio may have to sell Portfolio securities to
distribute such imputed income which may occur at a time when the advisers would
not have chosen to sell such securities and which may result in taxable gain or
loss.
State Taxes
A Portfolio is not liable for any income or franchise tax in Massachusetts if it
qualifies as a RIC for federal income tax purposes. Distributions by the
Portfolio to shareholders and the ownership of shares may be subject to state
and local taxes. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding
the affect of federal, state and local taxes in their own individual
circumstances.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
The Trust has no obligation to deal with any dealer or group of dealers in the
execution of transactions in portfolio securities. Subject to policies
established by the Trustees, the advisers are responsible for placing orders to
execute Portfolio transactions. In placing orders, it is the Trust's policy to
seek to obtain the best net results taking into account such factors as price
(including the applicable dealer spread), size, type and difficulty of the
transaction involved, the firm's general execution and operational facilities,
and the
S-34
<PAGE>
firm's risk in positioning the securities involved. While the advisers generally
seek reasonably competitive spreads or commissions, the Trust will not
necessarily be paying the lowest spread or commission available. The Trust will
not purchase portfolio securities from any affiliated person acting as principal
except in conformity with the regulations of the SEC.
It is expected that the Portfolios may execute brokerage or other agency
transactions through the Distributor, a registered broker-dealer, for a
commission in conformity with the 1940 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and rules and regulations of the SEC. Under these provisions, the
Distributor is permitted to receive and retain compensation for effecting
portfolio transactions for a Portfolio on an exchange if a written contract is
in effect between the Distributor and the Trust expressly permitting the
Distributor to receive and retain such compensation. These provisions further
require that commissions paid to the Distributor by the Trust for exchange
transactions not exceed "usual and customary" brokerage commissions. The rules
define "usual and customary" commissions to include amounts which are
"reasonable and fair compared to the commission, fee or other remuneration
received or to be received by other brokers in connection with comparable
transactions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on a
securities exchange during a comparable period of time." In addition, the
Portfolios may direct commission business to one or more designated broker-
dealers, including the Distributor, in connection with such broker-dealer's
payment of certain of the Portfolios' expenses. The Trustees, including those
who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, have adopted procedures for
evaluating the reasonableness of commissions paid to the Distributor and will
review these procedures periodically. In addition, SFM has adopted a policy
respecting the receipt of research and related products and services in
connection with transactions effected for Portfolios operating within the
"Manager of Managers" structure. Under this policy, SFM and the various firms
that serve as sub-advisers to certain Portfolios of the Trust, in the exercise
of joint investment discretion over the assets of a Portfolio, will direct a
substantial portion of a Portfolio's brokerage to the Distributor in
consideration of the Distributor's provision of research and related products to
SFM for use in performing its advisory responsibilities. All such transactions
directed to the Distributor must be accomplished in a manner that is consistent
with the Trust's policy to achieve best net results, and must comply with the
Trust's procedures regarding the execution of transactions through affiliated
brokers.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, the Portfolios paid the following

The Large Cap Value Portfolio experienced material portfolio turnover because
the Board of Trustees approved changing the Portfolio's benchmark from the S&P
500 Index to the S&P Barra\Value Index. Since the Portfolio's investment
portfolio included securities that were not reflected in this new benchmark,
Mellon selected securities that are reflected in the S&P Barra\Value Index.
The Core Fixed Income Portfolio experienced material portfolio turnover when
Western assumed management responsibility as a result of its investment
strategies.
Since the Trust does not market its shares through intermediary brokers or
dealers, it is not the Trust's practice to allocate brokerage or principal
business on the basis of sales of its shares which may be made through such
firms. However, a Portfolio's advisers or sub-advisers may place portfolio
orders with qualified broker-dealers who recommend the Trust to clients, and
may, when a number of brokers and dealers can provide best price and execution
on a particular transaction, consider such recommendations by a broker or dealer
in selecting among broker-dealers.
S-38
<PAGE>
The Trust does not expect to use one particular dealer, but a Portfolio's
advisers or sub-advisers may, consistent with the interests of the Portfolio,
select brokers on the basis of the research services they provide to the
Portfolio's advisers. Such services may include analysis of the business or
prospects of a company, industry or economic sector or statistical and pricing
services. Information so received by the advisers will be in addition to and not
in lieu of the services required to be performed by a Portfolio's advisers under
the Advisory Agreements. If in the judgement of a Portfolio's advisers, the
Portfolio, or other accounts managed by the Portfolio's advisers, will be
benefitted by supplemental research services, the Portfolio's advisers are
authorized to pay brokerage commissions to a broker furnishing such services
that are in excess of commissions which another broker may have charged for
effecting the same transaction. The expenses of a Portfolio's advisers will not
necessarily be reduced as a result of the receipt of such supplemental
information.
The Trust is required to identify any securities of its "regular brokers or
dealers" (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act) which the Trust
has acquired during its most recent fiscal year. As of September 30, 1995, the
Large Cap Value Portfolio held $4,427,221 of debt securities issued by JP Morgan
Securities, Inc., $2,716,000 of equity securities issued by JP Morgan
Securities, Inc., $753,000 of equity securities issued by Bear Stearns and
$1,907,000 of equity securities issued by Dean Witter Discover & Co.; the Small
Cap Growth Portfolio held $13,561,000 of debt securities issued by Lehman
Brothers; the Capital Appreciation Portfolio held $1,716,000 of equity
securities issued by Dean Witter Discover & Co., $1,095,000 of debt securities
issued by Merrill Lynch and $13,382,000 of debt securities issued by Lehman
Brothers; the Equity Income Portfolio held $4,495,000 of debt securities issued
by JP Morgan Securities, Inc. and $7,250,000 of equity securities issued by JP

securities issued by Dean Witter Discover & Co., $513,000 of debt securities
issued by Salomon Brothers, Inc., $909,000 of debt securities issued by Smith
Barney and $3,128,000 of debt securities issued by Lehman Brothers.; the Mid-Cap
Portfolio held $1,615,000 of debt securities held by JP Morgan Securities, Inc.;
the Core Fixed Income Portfolio held $4,966,000 of debt securities with Lehman
Brothers, $7,810,000 of debt securities with Paine Webber and $65,187,000 of
debt securities with JP Morgan Securities, Inc.; the Bond Portfolio held
$223,000 of debt securities with JP Morgan Securities, Inc.; the High Yield Bond
Portfolio held $1,490,000 of debt securities with Lehman Brothers; the Large Cap
Growth Portfolio held $3,150,000 of equity securities with Dean Witter and
$525,000 of debt securities with Prudential; and the Small Cap Value Portfolio
held $4,282,000 of debt securities with Prudential.
DESCRIPTION OF SHARES
The Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of
shares of each Portfolio, each of which represents an equal proportionate
interest in that Portfolio. Each share upon liquidation entitles a shareholder
to a pro rata share in the net assets of that Portfolio, after taking into
account additional distribution and transfer agency expenses attributable to
Class D shares. Shareholders have no preemptive rights. The Declaration of Trust
provides that the Trustees of the Trust may create additional series of shares
or separate classes of portfolios. Share certificates representing the shares
will not be issued.
LIMITATION OF TRUSTEES' LIABILITY
The Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee shall be liable only for his or
her own willful defaults and, if reasonable care has been exercised in the
selection of officers, agents, employees or administrators, shall
S-39
<PAGE>
not be liable for any neglect or wrongdoing of any such person. The Declaration
of Trust also provides that the Trust will indemnify its Trustees and officers
against liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with actual or
threatened litigation in which they may be involved because of their offices
with the Trust unless it is determined in the manner provided in the Declaration
of Trust that they have not acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that
their actions were in the best interests of the Trust. However, nothing in the
Declaration of Trust shall protect or indemnify a Trustee against any liability
for his or her wilful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of his or her duties.
VOTING
Where the Trust's Prospectuses or Statement of Additional Information state that
an investment limitation or a fundamental policy may not be changed without
shareholder approval, such approval means the vote of (i) 67% or more of the
affected Portfolio's shares present at a meeting if the holders of more than 50%
of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio are present or represented by Proxy,
or (ii) more than 50% of the affected Portfolio's outstanding shares, whichever
is less.
SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY
The Trust is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business
trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a business trust could,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for the
obligations of the trust. Even if, however, the Trust were held to be a
partnership, the possibility of the shareholders incurring financial loss for
that reason appears remote because the Trust's Declaration of Trust contains an
express disclaimer of shareholder liability for obligations of the Trust and
requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation
or instrument entered into or executed by or on behalf of the Trust or the
Trustees, and because the Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification
out of the Trust property for any shareholders held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF
TRUSTEES
SEI INSTITUTIONAL MANAGED TRUST
In our opinion, the accompanying
statements of net assets and the related
statements of operations and of changes
in net assets and the financial
highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial
position of the Large Cap Value, Large
Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap
Growth, Mid-Cap, Capital Appreciation,
Equity Income, Balanced, Capital Growth,
Core Fixed Income, Bond and High Yield
Bond Portfolios (comprising SEI
Institutional Managed Trust, hereafter
referred to as the "Fund") at September
30, 1995, the results of each of their
operations, the changes in each of their
net assets and the financial highlights
for each of the respective periods
presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management;
our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits, which included
confirmation of securities at September
30, 1995 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers and the
application of alternative auditing
procedures where confirmations from
brokers were not received, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

SEI Institutional Managed Trust--September 30, 1995
1. ORGANIZATION
SEI Institutional Managed Trust (the "Trust") is organized as a Massachusetts
business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated October 20, 1986.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as
an open-end investment company with twelve diversified Portfolios and one
non-diversified portfolio (the "Portfolios"): Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth,
Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Mid-Cap, Capital Appreciation, Equity Income,
Balanced, Capital Growth, Core Fixed Income, Bond, and High Yield Bond. The Real
Estate Securities Portfolio (the non-diversified portfolio) had not commenced
operations as of September 30, 1995. The Trust is registered to offer Class A,
Class B and Class D shares of the Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Small Cap
Value, Small Cap Growth, Mid-Cap, Capital Appreciation, Equity Income, Balanced,
Core Fixed Income, Bond, and High Yield Bond Portfolios. The following is a
summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Trust.
Security Valuation--Investments in equity securities which are traded on a
national securities exchange (or reported on 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
with remaining maturities in excess of sixty days are valued at the most
recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less are valued at their amortized cost.
Federal Income Taxes--It is each Portfolio's intention to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes and
distribute all of its taxable income (including net capital gains). Accordingly,
no provision for Federal income taxes is required.
Net Asset Value Per Share--Net asset value per share is calculated on a
daily basis by dividing the assets of each Portfolio less its liabilities by the
number of outstanding shares of the Portfolio.
Repurchase Agreements--Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase
agreements are held by each Portfolio's custodian bank until maturity of the
Repurchase Agreement. Provisions of the Agreement and procedures adopted by the
Manager and the Advisers of the Trust ensure that the market value of the
collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of
default by the counterparty. The Portfolios also invest in tri-party repurchase
agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements
are maintained by the broker's custodian bank in a segregated account until
maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the agreements ensure that
the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is
sufficient in the event of default. 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 Portfolios may be delayed or
limited.
Discount and Premium Amortization--All amortization is calculated using the
effective interest method over the holding period of the security. Amortization
of premiums and discounts is included in interest income.
Classes--Class-specific expenses are borne by that class of shares. Income,
realized and unrealized gains/losses and non class-specific expenses are
allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative daily net assets.
Distributions--Distributions from net investment income are paid to
Shareholders monthly for the Large Cap Value, Capital Appreciation, Equity
Income, Balanced, Capital Growth, Core Fixed Income, Bond, and High Yield Bond
Portfolios and quarterly for the Large Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap
Growth, and Mid-Cap Portfolios. Any net realized capital gains on the sales of
securities by a Portfolio are distributed annually to the Shareholders of that
Portfolio.

<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective October 1, 1993, the Fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2
"Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income,
Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distribution by Investment Companies." In
connection therewith $1,433,000 relating to permanent differences attributable
to cumulative net operating losses of the Small Cap Growth Portfolio as of
September 30, 1995 have been reclassified from that portfolio's accumulated net
investment loss to paid-in-capital.
Futures Contracts--The Large Cap Growth and Large Cap Value Portfolios
utilized S&P futures contracts and the Core Fixed Income Portfolio utilized U.S.
Long Bond futures contracts to a limited extent during the year ended September
30, 1995. The Large Cap Growth and Large Cap Value Portfolio's investment in S&P
500 Index futures contracts is designed to enable the Portfolios' to more
closely approximate the performance of their benchmark indices. The Core Fixed
Income Portfolio's use of futures contracts is primarily for tactical hedging
purposes. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering
into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the
resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses.
Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether
unrealized losses or gains are incurred. When the contract is closed, the
Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the
proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in
the contract.
Risks related to futures contracts include the possibility that there may
not be a liquid market for the contracts, that changes in the values of the
contract may not directly correlate with changes in the values of the underlying
securities, and that the counterparty to a contract may default on its
obligation to perform.
Structured Notes and Indexed Notes--The Core Fixed Income Portfolio may
invest in structured notes and indexed notes whose values are linked either
directly or inversely to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest
rates, indexes, or other reference instruments. The values of these instruments
may be more volatile than the rates, indexes or instruments to which they refer,
but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.
Other--Security transactions are recorded on the trade date of the security
purchase or sale. Cost used in determining net realized capital gains and losses
on the sale of securities are those of the specific securities sold. Dividend
income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized
using the accrual basis of accounting.
3. MANAGEMENT, INVESTMENT ADVISORY, AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

wholly-owned subsidiary of SEI Corporation, are parties to a management

of a Portfolio, after reflecting a waiver of all fees by the Manager, exceed the
specific limitation, the Manager has agreed to bear such excess.

that the Distributor may receive compensation on portfolio transactions effected
for the Trust in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, it is expected that portfolio transactions may
result in brokerage commissions being paid to the Distributor. The SEC rules
require that such commissions not exceed usual and customary commissions.
4. ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Organizational costs have been capitalized by the Fund and are being amortized
over sixty months commencing with operations. In the event any of the initial
shares are redeemed by any holder thereof during the period that the Fund is
amortizing its organizational costs, the redemption proceeds payable to the
holder thereof by the Fund will be reduced by the unamortized organizational
costs in the same ratio as the number of initial shares outstanding at the time
of the redemption.
Certain officers and/or trustees of the Trust are also officers of the
Manager. The Trust pays each unaffiliated Trustee an annual fee for attendance
of quarterly, interim and committee meetings. Compensation of officers and
affiliated Trustees of the Trust is paid by the Manager.
Each of the Portfolios also used the Distributor as an agent in placing
repurchase agreements. For

The market values of the Core Fixed Income, Bond and High Yield Bond
Portfolios' 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 ratings of any fixed income security and in the ability
of an issuer to make payments of interest and principal may also affect the
value of these investments.
At September 30, 1995 the following Portfolios had available realized
capital losses to offset future net capital gains through fiscal year ended
