Fiera Removed from the U.S. Large Company Equity Fund
SEI has made the decision to remove Fiera Capital Corporation (Fiera) from SEI Canada’s U.S. Large Company Equity Fund (the Fund), as at November 29, 2018.
Rationale
Fiera has provided reliable exposure to the stability alpha source. However, we believe the Fund structure will be enhanced by a strategy that provides exposure to less-expensive stable stocks that provide more dividend income. Therefore, we have decided to remove Fiera from the Fund.
Schafer Cullen Capital Management will replace Fiera in the Fund.
Fiera remains a manager in other SEI Funds, and we do not anticipate additional changes.
