- SEI Institutional Managed Trust - Small Cap Growth Fund (Class Y) (SMAYX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization companies with market capitalizations in the range of the Russell 2000 Growth Index at the time of purchase; it primarily targets common stocks exhibiting attractive growth potential, with limited allocations to cash, non-U.S. stocks, and other assets. The fund employs a multi-manager approach under the supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), the investment adviser, utilizing an overlay manager to aggregate model portfolios from SIMC and sub-advisers; portfolio allocations span sectors including industrials (18.53%), technology (18.26%), healthcare (16.42%), financial services (14.55%), and consumer defensive (11.99%), with top holdings such as Exlservice Holdings Inc., Sprouts Farmers Market Inc., Stride Inc., Adtalem Global Education Inc., and Brinker International Inc. Class Y shares, designed for institutional investors such as independent investment advisers via the SEI Wealth Platform, feature a net expense ratio of 0.98%, a minimum initial investment of $100,000, and daily pricing, with total net assets of approximately $268 million and share class size of $32 million as of recent data.
Launched on October 30, 2015, and domiciled in the United States, the fund operates primarily in U.S. markets (97.99% U.S. stocks) with minor exposure to regions like Latin America and the Eurozone, targeting growth-oriented small-cap equities for institutional clients. In 2024, the fund underwent significant sub-adviser changes effective May 1, including the termination of Arrowmark Colorado Holdings, LLC as sub-adviser and the appointment of Polen Capital Management, LLC, which manages a portion through a team led by Rayna Lesser Hannaway (Head of Team, Portfolio Manager & Analyst since 2024) and Whitney Young Crawford (Portfolio Manager & Analyst since 2024); additional portfolio managers added include Cory Furlong, CFA (since May 20, 2024), alongside ongoing managers such as Paul Bouchey (since 2016), Eugene Barbaneagra, Jason Collins, David Hintz, and others. These adjustments reflect SIMC's strategic enhancements to the multi-manager framework, with further portfolio management updates in May 2024 adding Ryan McKeon, CFA, and Cory Furlong across SEI Institutional Managed Trust funds, while SEI Investments Company, the parent entity, completed the first phase of its Stratos Wealth Holdings partnership in December 2025, acquiring U.S. operations for $441 million to bolster wealth platform capabilities.
