SEI® has expanded its suite of models featuring Capital Group exchange traded funds (ETFs) and American Funds mutual funds to include 12 new tax-sensitive solutions. The new solutions support independent advisors’ ability to deliver goals-based, personalized wealth management through the SEI Wealth PlatformSM (SWP).
The SEI Strategies featuring the American Funds launched in 2020 and offer a diversified selection of portfolios allocated across regions, risk tolerances, and investment objectives. SEI’s Investment team builds the portfolios by selecting a range of American Funds, accessed through low-cost F-3 shares, to provide scale and efficiency for advisors employing a transparent, goals-based approach for their clients.
The 12 new strategies are hybrid model portfolios that combine Capital Group’s active transparent ETFs and American Funds in an effort to maximize tax-efficient equity and tax-advantaged fixed income exposures across a range of diversified strategic asset allocations. With the ability to select global or U.S.-focused portfolios, the new strategies offer advisors additional customization and tax management capabilities within SWP.
