Important Information
Information in the U.S. provided by SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), a federally registered investment advisor and wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (SEI), is the manager of the SEI Strategies with Capital Group ("the Strategies"). As such SIMC is solely responsible for the fund selection and portfolio construction of the Strategies. For those portfolios of individually managed securities, SIMC makes recommendations as to which manager will manage each asset class.

Neither your financial advisor, SEI, nor its subsidiaries is affiliated with Capital Group. All Capital Group trademarks are registered trademarks owned by the Capital Group Companies, Inc. or an affiliated company. All other company and product names mentioned are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.

Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. Diversification may not protect against market risk. There is no guarantee the objectives of the Strategies will be achieved.

Consider the Strategies Investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The Strategies invest in funds to obtain the desired exposure to an asset class. A copy of the prospectus is available upon request. The prospectus includes information concerning each fund's investment objectives, strategies and risks.

Model portfolios are provided to financial intermediaries who may or may not recommend them to clients. The portfolios consist of an allocation of funds for investors to consider and are not intended to be investment recommendations. The portfolios are asset allocations designed for individuals with different time horizons, investment objectives and risk profiles. Allocations may change and may not achieve investment objectives. If a cash allocation is not reflected in a model, the intermediary may choose to add one. Capital Group does not have investment discretion or authority over investment allocations in client accounts. Rebalancing approaches may differ depending on where the account is held. Investors should talk to their financial professional for information on other investment alternatives that may be available. In making investment decisions, investors should consider their other assets, income and investments.

Model portfolios are subject to the risks associated with the underlying funds in the model portfolio. Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses of the funds in the model portfolio, which are contained in the fund prospectuses. Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries. Smaller company stocks entail additional risks, and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks. The return of principal for bond bonds and for funds with significant underlying bond holdings is not guaranteed. Fund shares are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings. Lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated bonds. Investments in mortgage-related securities involve additional risks, such as prepayment risk. The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. A nondiversified fund has the ability to invest a larger percentage of assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, poor results by a single issuer could adversely affect fund results more than if the fund were invested in a larger number of issuers. See the applicable prospectus for details.

To the extent a Capital Group exchange-traded fund (ETF) is not available for a desired asset class exposure, SIMC will construct the Strategy with an allocation to ETFs offered by other fund families. If a Capital Group ETF becomes available after the initial purchase of a Substitute ETF, the Strategy will, within a reasonable time period, fully redeem from the Substitute ETF and purchase the Capital Group ETF, which may result in a capital gain. Nevertheless, if a Substitute ETF is included in the Strategy at any point, the results of the Strategy will differ from the results of a model portfolio consisting solely of Capital Group ETFs.

Tax and Tax Management Techniques Disclosures – SIMC does not represent in any manner that the tax consequences described as part of its tax-management techniques and strategies will be achieved or that any of SIMC's tax-management techniques, or any of its products and/or services, will result in any particular tax consequence. The tax consequences of the tax-management techniques, including those intended to harvest tax losses, and other strategies that SIMC may pursue are complex and uncertain and may be challenged by the IRS. Neither SIMC nor its affiliates provide tax advice.
