- SEI Institutional International Trust Emerging Markets Equity Fund Class Y (SEQFX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation through investment primarily in equity securities of emerging market issuers. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in such securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, participation notes, and depositary receipts across all capitalization ranges; it maintains investments in at least six emerging market countries, though it may concentrate substantially in a single country or limited number. Key holdings include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, Tencent Holdings Ltd, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, and SK Hynix Inc, with major sector allocations to technology (25%), financial services (20.7%), and consumer cyclical (14.8%); regional exposure emphasizes emerging Asia (40.13%), developed Asia (33.5%), Latin America (8.95%), Africa (4.64%), and the Middle East (4.1%).
Launched on December 31, 2014, and domiciled in the United States, the Fund is part of SEI Institutional International Trust, managed under a multi-manager approach supervised by SEI Investments Management Corporation, with a team of sub-advisers including Emery Brewer (since 2010), Ivo Kovachev (since 2010), and recent additions such as Rich Carr and David Zhang (both since May 2024). Total net assets stand at approximately $1.60 billion, with the Class Y share class at $152.17 million; the net expense ratio is 1.01%, minimum initial investment is $100,000, and it is available for sale in the United States.
Recent developments include portfolio manager additions in 2024, with Eugene Barbaneagra joining in January, followed by Rich Carr and David Zhang in May, enhancing the multi-manager team's expertise in emerging markets equities. The Fund maintains a portfolio turnover of 70% and daily pricing, with no front-end or deferred loads, positioning it within the Diversified Emerging Markets category for institutional and high-net-worth investors seeking broad exposure to developing economies.
