Designed to Deliver Broad U.S. Equity Exposure Through Transparent, Cost-Efficient, Research-Enhanced Approach

OAKS, Pa., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SEI® (NASDAQ:SEIC) today announced the launch of the SEI Ang Research Enhanced U.S. Large Cap ETF (NASDAQ: ANGU), the first ETF in a planned suite of research-enhanced investment solutions. ANGU is designed to address concentration risk in traditional market-cap-weighted indexes and provide a more intentional U.S. large cap core equity allocation at a competitive cost.

The fund seeks to track the total return results before Fund fees and expenses of the iSTOXX® Ang Research Enhanced U.S. Large Cap index, developed through the collaboration between STOXX Ltd., part of the ISS STOXX group of companies and a leading provider of benchmark and custom index solutions to global institutional investors, and factor investing pioneer Dr. Andrew Ang. ANGU seeks to improve upon traditional market-cap-weighted indexes by addressing concentration risk through a benchmark-aware framework that incorporates value, quality, and momentum signals while maintaining close alignment to the broader U.S. large-cap market.

By combining broad market exposure with disciplined factor insights and defined risk controls, ANGU offers advisors a transparent, scalable, and cost-efficient solution for more intentional portfolio construction.

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

“As investors look beyond traditional market-cap-weighted approaches, ANGU offers a differentiated core equity solution grounded in decades of factor research. We’re excited to bring together Andrew Ang’s research leadership, STOXX’s index expertise, and SEI’s ETF platform in a transparent and cost-efficient ETF.”

Dr. Andrew Ang, leading factor investing academic and practitioner, said:

“The next generation of factor investing is not simply about owning factors, but about applying the latest research to how those factors are defined, combined, and implemented. The iSTOXX Ang Research Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Index incorporates innovations in factor measurement and dynamic exposure management, seeking to provide investors with a more intentional approach to core equity investing. Put simply, it’s about seeking exposure to the right factors at the right time.”

Arun Singhal, Head of Product Management and Client Success at STOXX, added:

“This launch highlights how innovative index design can be translated into practical investment implementation. Through our collaboration with Andrew and his expertise in factor investing and systematic portfolio design, we are creating an index suite intended to deliver better portfolio outcomes over time. SEI’s launch of ANGU gives advisors access to that index through a scalable ETF structure, while preserving the consistency, visibility, and governance investors expect from STOXX.”

The launch expands SEI’s ETF lineup and reflects the company’s longstanding heritage in quantitative investing, bringing research-driven investment insights to investors through a flexible and efficient ETF structure.

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.

SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC) is the adviser to the SEI funds, which are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Co (SIDCO). SIMC and SIDCO are wholly owned subsidiaries of SEI Investments Company (SEI).

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its objective. The fund is subject to tracking error risk or the risk that the Fund’s performance may vary substantially from the performance of the benchmark index it tracks as a result of cash flows, Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between the Fund’s investments and the benchmark and other factors.

The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. The Fund is a new fund, with a limited operating history, which may result in additional risks for investors in the Fund. The Fund is not diversified.

There can be no assurance that performance will be enhanced or risk will be reduced for Funds 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, a Fund may seek to maintain exposure to the targeted investment factors and not adjust to target different factors, which could result in losses. The Fund’s investment process is expected to be heavily dependent on quantitative models, and the models may not perform as intended.

The iSTOXX® Ang Research Enhanced U.S. Large Cap index consists of U.S. large‑cap equities selected from the STOXX US Universal Index, aiming to enhance returns through dynamic multi‑factor exposure while closely tracking the parent index. The Index offers systematic exposure to Momentum, Quality, Enhanced Value, and Cyclical Value, with factor weights dynamically adjusted using model‑driven signals reflecting market conditions and relative factor strength. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.
