About SDGFX
SEI Daily Income Trust Short-Duration Government Fund Class Y is an actively managed mutual fund focused on high-quality, U.S. government–backed fixed income. The fund primarily invests in U.S. Treasury obligations, agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by such instruments, seeking capital preservation, liquidity, and current income. Positioned in the short government category, it maintains a typically low interest-rate sensitivity with portfolio durations generally between one and three and a half years, reflecting the category’s emphasis on minimizing credit risk through government backing. The strategy employs multiple managers and a diversified book of hundreds of holdings, emphasizing AAA-rated exposure alongside agency mortgage assets to balance yield with stability. It distributes income monthly, aligning with its income objective while supporting cash management needs for institutions and risk-aware investors. With a long operating history under the SEI umbrella and a mandate anchored to U.S. government and agency markets, the fund plays a defensive role in fixed income allocations, offering a conservative, short-duration vehicle for liquidity and principal stability within broader portfolios.
