Established Dynamic Active Multifactor Strategy Extends QiM’s Time-Tested Investment Process Through Single-Ticker ETF Solution

OAKS, Pa., July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SEI® (NASDAQ:SEIC) today announced the launch of the SEI QiM U.S. Equity Factor Allocation Active ETF (NASDAQ:SEUS), an actively managed core U.S. equity solution that brings SEI’s established U.S. Equity Factor Allocation strategy to the ETF market. Managed by SEI’s Quantitative Investment Management (QiM) team, SEUS provides access to a time-tested investment process through a transparent, cost-effective ETF structure that offers accessibility, scalability, and tax efficiency.

SEUS is based on the same dynamic active factor allocation approach that QiM has implemented across other investment vehicles, combining dynamic factor allocation, active stock selection, and disciplined risk management within a diversified equity portfolio. Designed as a core equity allocation, the ETF seeks to adapt as market conditions evolve while maintaining exposure to historically rewarded factors through a risk-aware investment process.

Powered by SEI’s Quantitative Investment Management team, which manages more than $30 billion in quantitative investment strategies as of March 31, 2026, SEUS leverages proprietary factor research, integrated risk models, and dedicated portfolio management oversight. The launch extends an established investment process through a flexible, transparent, and tax-efficient ETF structure, providing investors with access to the same underlying philosophy, research framework, and portfolio management expertise.

Commenting on the ETF launch, Robert Hum, Head of Investment Product and Commercialization at SEI, said:

“Markets are increasingly dynamic, and investors need strategies that can adapt alongside them. SEUS expands access to QiM’s established investment process, bringing a time-tested active multifactor strategy to investors through a transparent, tax-efficient, single-ticker ETF solution. By combining dynamic factor allocation, active stock selection, and disciplined risk management, SEUS is designed to help investors navigate evolving market environments while maintaining diversified U.S. equity exposure.”

To determine if the Funds are an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the investment objectives, risk factors, and charges and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in the Funds’ summary and full prospectuses, which may be obtained by calling 1-800-DIAL-SEI. Read it carefully before investing.

There are risks involved with investing, including loss of principal. There is no guarantee an investment objective will be achieved, nor that risk can be managed successfully. Diversification may not protect against market risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance) and could increase the amount of taxes you owe by generating short-term gains, which may be taxed at a higher rate.

Mutual funds and ETFs are obliged to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders by year-end. These gains may be generated due to index rebalancing or to meet diversification requirements. However, ETFs are structured in such a manner that taxes are minimized compared to a similarly structured mutual fund. Trading shares of the ETFs will also generate tax consequences and transaction expenses.

There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for investment strategies that seek to provide exposure to certain quantitative factors. Exposure to such investment factors may detract from performance in certain market environments, in some cases for extended periods. In such circumstances, an investment strategy may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses. While the Fund is actively managed, the investment process is expected to be heavily dependent on quantitative models, and the models may not perform as intended.
