BANC OF AMERICA CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC. (BACAP)

SUMMARY

- -    SEI Funds Board of Trustee's is recommending that shareholders vote to
     replace Wellington Management Company, LLP with SEI Investments Management
     Corporation (SIMC) as advisor, and Banc of America Capital Management, LLC
     as sub-advisor to SEI's taxable money market funds.

- -    SEI launched a manager search to review portfolio managers for which money
     market funds were a primary business focus, and investments were
     commensurate with this focus.

- -    BACAP was selected from a field of highly regarded candidates to assume
     management of all of SEI's taxable money market funds, pending shareholder
     approval of SIMC as advisor to SEI's taxable money market funds. The
     transition of management will occur prior to shareholder vote.

Banc of America Capital Management's strengths in assuming this mandate lie
primarily in their:

- -    size and scalability

- -    unparalleled risk management system

- -    unique approach to cash management

- -    strong commitment to the business

Banc of America Capital Management is the most attractive candidate based on the
firm's size, experienced and broad 2a-7 team, proprietary risk model, and
technology. BACAP's consistent adherence to its investment process is reflected
in the firm's impressive relative performance, clean credit record, and strong
asset growth. Strategic investments in cash products, including dedicated credit
and risk managers, serve to increase their strength and our confidence in this
organization. BACAP has expanded their business and staff accordingly, which has
increased their bench strength and firm resources surrounding the money market
products.
