- SEI Institutional Managed Trust - Small Cap Value Fund (Class Y) (SPVYX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in value-oriented equity securities of small-cap U.S. companies. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of small companies within the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Value Index, focusing on stocks believed to be attractively valued relative to measures such as earnings, capital flows, and other financial metrics; it may also invest in common stocks, preferred stocks, warrants, American Depositary Receipts, real estate investment trusts, and exchange-traded funds of small-cap issuers. The fund employs a multi-manager approach under the supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), its investment adviser, with portions of the portfolio allocated to sub-advisers employing diverse quantitative and fundamental styles, complemented by direct management from SIMC and implementation via an overlay manager. It targets institutional investors and high-net-worth clients through independent investment advisers, with a minimum investment of $100,000, an expense ratio of 0.98%, and a portfolio turnover rate of 57%.
The fund, part of SEI Institutional Managed Trust domiciled in the United States with administrative operations c/o SEI Investments Management Corporation in Wilmington, Delaware (and portfolio management ties to Oaks, Pennsylvania), launched its Class Y shares on October 30, 2015, building on the broader trust's equity strategies dating back further for related share classes. SIMC oversees capital allocation, manager evaluation, and portfolio construction across U.S. small-cap value segments, with current portfolio managers including David L. Hintz, CFA; Eugene Barbaneagra, CFA; Cory Furlong, CFA; and Ryan McKeon, CFA, who assumed expanded roles in 2024 for small-cap mandates .
Recent changes include significant sub-adviser transitions effective in 2024: Cardinal Capital Management, L.L.C. ceased serving as a sub-adviser, while Leeward Investments, LLC (Boston, MA) was added, with R. Todd Vingers, CFA (President and Portfolio Manager, over 30 years' experience) and Jay C. Willadsen, CFA (Portfolio Manager, over 25 years' experience) managing its allocation since 2024; these shifts align with broader portfolio management updates across SEI's small-cap funds, including the departure of Stephen C. Dolce and integration of new analysts . No major funding rounds, acquisitions, or product launches were reported for SPVYX itself in the last 1-2 years, though SIMC continues to refine its multi-manager platform amid ongoing prospectus amendments through May 2024. The fund operates exclusively in U.S. equity markets, with no international focus or subsidiaries noted.
