About SEDAX
SEI Institutional Investments Trust Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on fixed income from developing economies. Its primary objective is to maximize total return by investing predominantly in debt securities of government, government-related, and corporate issuers across emerging markets, with substantial exposure to U.S.-dollar–denominated instruments and entities established to restructure sovereign or corporate obligations. The fund employs a multi-manager approach and targets broad geographic diversification spanning Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, aligning with the emerging-markets bond category’s emphasis on foreign debt from developing countries. It typically references widely used emerging-markets debt benchmarks and seeks to balance income generation with credit and duration considerations inherent to the asset class. As part of SEI’s institutional trust lineup, the strategy is positioned to provide access to sovereign and quasi-sovereign credit risk, hard-currency exposure, and differentiated yield and risk characteristics relative to developed-market bonds, playing a role in portfolio diversification and potential income within global fixed-income allocations.
