EXAMPLE
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of owning shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell or hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund may pay transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During its most recent fiscal year, ended September 30, 2025, the portfolio turnover rate of the High Yield Bond Fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), a series of the SEI Institutional Managed Trust, was 66% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the SEI High Yield Bond & Alternative Credit ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in high yield fixed income and, to a lesser extent, alternative credit securities, as those terms are defined below. High yield fixed income securities are debt instruments, rated below investment grade (junk bonds), that pay interest or similar income, and may include corporate bonds and debentures, bank loans (or leveraged loans), convertible and preferred securities, and zero coupon obligations. Alternative credit securities are securities issued in connection with structured finance or other non-traditional credit lending arrangements, rather than traditional corporate or governmental borrowing. They are often issued by trusts or special purpose vehicles (SPVs) that acquire and manage pools of loans or other credit assets and issue multiple classes of securities (tranches) with varying risk and yield profiles. In particular, alternative credit securities include below investment grade tranches of collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), and similar structured credit obligations.
SEI Investments Management Corporation, the Fund's adviser (SIMC or the Adviser), directly manages a portion of the Fund's assets. With the remaining assets, the Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying on one or more sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) with differing investment philosophies to manage Fund assets under the general supervision of SIMC. In managing the Fund's assets, the Sub-Advisers and SIMC seek to select securities that offer a high current

SEI / SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
yield as well as total return potential. The Fund seeks to have a portfolio of securities that is diversified as to issuers and industries. The Fund's average weighted maturity may vary, but will generally not exceed ten years. There is no limit on the maturity or credit quality of any individual security in which the Fund may invest.
As noted above, the Fund will invest primarily in securities rated BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D. However, it may also invest in non-rated securities or securities rated investment grade (AAA, AA, A and BBB). The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain market exposure. The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in bank loans, which are, generally, non-investment grade (junk bond) floating rate instruments. The Fund may invest in bank loans in the form of participations in the loans or assignments of all or a portion of the loans from third parties. The Fund may invest in debt and equity tranches of CDOs and CLOs. CLOs issue debt and equity interests and use the proceeds from the issuance to acquire a portfolio of bank loans or debt securities. The underlying loans are generally below investment grade, first lien, senior secured, bank loans, with smaller allocations to other types of investments such as second lien loans, unsecured loans and/or high yield bonds. The loans generate cash flow that is allocated among one or more classes of the CLO's tranches that vary in risk and yield.
The Fund may also invest in futures contracts, options and/or swaps. Derivatives may be used for efficient portfolio and cash management, hedging, or speculative purposes. Futures, options and swaps are used to synthetically obtain exposure to high yield bond indices, securities or baskets of securities and to manage the Fund's interest rate duration and yield curve exposure. These derivatives are also used to mitigate the Fund's overall level of risk and/or the Fund's risk to particular types of securities, currencies or market segments. Interest rate swaps are further used to manage the Fund's yield spread sensitivity. When the Fund seeks to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of an event of default of a security or basket of securities, the Fund may use credit default swaps. The Fund may buy credit default swaps in an attempt to manage credit risk where the Fund has credit exposure to an issuer and the Fund may sell credit default swaps to more efficiently gain credit exposure to such security or basket of securities.
Principal Risks
As with any investment, you could lose all or part of your investment in the Fund, and the Fund's performance could trail that of other investments. The Fund is subject to certain risks, including the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value per share (NAV), trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective.
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, SIMC or any of its affiliates.
Market Risk - The prices of the Fund's fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers, including governments and their agencies. Generally, the Fund's fixed income securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa. In a low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened. Declines in dealer market-making capacity as a result of structural or regulatory changes could decrease liquidity and/or increase volatility in the fixed income markets. Markets for fixed income securities may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment or publicity. Similarly, environmental and public health risks, such as natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics or widespread fear that such events may occur, may impact markets adversely and cause market volatility in both the short- and long-term. In response to these events, the Fund's value may fluctuate and/or the Fund may experience increased redemptions from shareholders, which may impact the Fund's liquidity or force the Fund to sell securities into a declining or illiquid market.
Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk - Fixed income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds) involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are generally more volatile than investment grade securities because the prospect for repayment of principal and interest of many of these securities is speculative. Because these securities typically offer a higher rate of return to compensate investors for these risks, they are sometimes referred to as "high yield bonds," but there is no guarantee that an investment in these securities will result in a high rate of return.
Investment Style Risk - The risk that high yield fixed income securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income markets or the fixed income markets as a whole.
Interest Rate Risk - The risk that a change in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities, in which the Fund invests. Generally, the value of the Fund's fixed income securities will vary inversely with the direction of prevailing interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may affect the value and liquidity of instruments held by the Fund. Although U.S. Government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates.
Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk - Corporate fixed income securities respond to economic developments, especially changes in interest rates, as well as perceptions of the creditworthiness and business prospects of individual issuers.

SEI / SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
Convertible and Preferred Securities Risk - Convertible and preferred securities have many of the same characteristics as stocks, including many of the same risks. In addition, convertible securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than stocks. Convertible securities may also have credit ratings below investment grade, meaning that they carry a higher risk of failure by the issuer to pay principal and/or interest when due.
Collateralized Debt Obligations and Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk - CDOs and CLOs are securities backed by an underlying portfolio of debt and loan obligations, respectively. CDOs and CLOs issue classes or "tranches" that vary in risk and yield and may experience substantial losses due to actual defaults, decrease in market value due to collateral defaults and removal of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults and investor aversion to CDO and CLO securities as a class. The risks of investing in CDOs and CLOs depend largely on the tranche invested in and the type of the underlying debts and loans in the tranche of the CDO or CLO, respectively, in which the Fund invests. CDOs and CLOs also carry risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, which is described above, and credit risk, which is described below. For example, a liquidity crisis in the global credit markets could cause substantial fluctuations in prices for leveraged loans and high-yield debt securities and limited liquidity for such instruments. When the Fund invests in CDOs or CLOs, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it may bear a pro rata portion of the CDO's or CLO's expenses.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk - The risks of owning shares of an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF is designed to track, although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in its value being more volatile than the underlying portfolio securities. When the Fund invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF's expenses.
Bank Loans Risk - With respect to bank loans, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower of the loan and the lender that is selling the participation in the loan. The Fund may also have difficulty disposing of bank loans because, in certain cases, the market for such instruments is not highly liquid.
Derivatives Risk - The Fund's use of futures contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Market risk is described above, and leverage risk and liquidity risk are described below. Many over-the-counter (OTC) derivative instruments will not have liquidity beyond the counterparty to the instrument. Correlation risk is the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The Fund's use of swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Credit risk is described below. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Each of these risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The other parties to certain derivative contracts present the same types of credit risk as issuers of fixed income securities. The Fund's use of derivatives may also increase the amount of taxes payable by shareholders. Both U.S. and non-U.S. regulators have adopted and implemented regulations governing derivatives markets, the ultimate impact of which remains unclear.
Liquidity Risk - The risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Fund would like. The Fund may have to lower the price of the security, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance. In stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the market for the Fund's underlying holdings. This adverse effect on the liquidity of the Fund's shares may, in turn, lead to wider bid-ask spreads and differences between the market value of the Fund's shares and the Fund's net asset value.
Leverage Risk - The Fund's use of derivatives may result in the Fund's total investment exposure substantially exceeding the value of its portfolio securities and the Fund's investment returns depending substantially on the performance of securities that the Fund may not directly own. The use of leverage can amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund's share price and may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations. The Fund's use of leverage may result in a heightened risk of investment loss.
Extension Risk - The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security's value.
Prepayment Risk - The risk that, in a declining interest rate environment, fixed income securities with stated interest rates may have the principal paid earlier than expected, requiring the Fund to invest the proceeds at generally lower interest rates.
Credit Risk - The risk that the issuer of a security or the counterparty to a contract will default or otherwise become unable to honor a financial obligation.
Duration Risk - The longer-term securities in which the Fund may invest tend to be more volatile than shorter-term securities. A portfolio with a longer average portfolio duration is more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a portfolio with a shorter average portfolio duration.

SEI / SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
Authorized Participant Concentration Risk - Only broker-dealers (referred to as Authorized Participants or APs) that have executed authorized participation agreements with respect to the Trust may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund, and no AP is obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. To the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with orders, Fund shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV, have wider spreads between bid and ask prices, have wider spreads between bid and ask prices or face trading halts or delisting.
Market Trading Risk - The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Fund shares, losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility and disruptions in the creation/redemption process. Active trading markets for the Fund's shares may not be developed or maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants (as defined above). Authorized Participants are not obligated to make a market in the Fund's shares or to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units (as defined below). In times of market stress, market makers or Authorized Participants may step away from their respective roles, which could lead to variances between the market price of the Fund's shares and its underlying NAV. Trading in shares on an exchange may be halted in certain circumstances. If a trading halt occurs, a shareholder may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell shares of the Fund. Any of these factors could lead the Fund's shares to trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than NAV when you buy shares of the Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those shares in the secondary market, particularly during times of market stress. SIMC or a Sub-Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade above (premium), below (discount) or at NAV or whether the spread between bid and ask prices will widen. In addition, there can be no assurance that the requirements of the listing exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met.
Cash Transactions Risk - The Fund intends to effectuate all or a portion of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units for cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund is expected to be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that effectuates its transactions in Creation Units primarily on an in-kind basis. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Any recognized gain on these sales by the Fund will generally cause the Fund to recognize a gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required as compared to an ETF that distributes portfolio securities in-kind in redemption of Creation Units. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effectuated in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with applicable tax requirements. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains to which they would not otherwise be subject, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. Brokerage fees, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in-kind, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and ask prices of Fund shares than for fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and ask prices of Fund shares than for ETFs that receive and distribute portfolio securities in-kind. The Fund's use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective ability to achieve its investment objective.
Cash Management Risk - The value of the investments held by the Fund for cash management purposes may be affected by market risks, changing interest rates and by changes in credit ratings of the investments. To the extent that the Fund has any uninvested cash, the Fund would be subject to credit risk with respect to the depository institution holding the cash. If the Fund holds uninvested cash, the Fund will not earn income on the cash. During such periods, it may be more difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Management Risk - SIMC or a Sub-Adviser may not successfully implement the Fund's investment strategies and, as a result, the Fund may not meet its investment objective and/or underperform other investment vehicles with similar investment objectives and strategies. Errors or delays in coordinating creation and redemption basket processes among Sub-Advisers can also reduce the Fund's performance.
Operational Risk - The Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund's service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures.
Cybersecurity Risk - Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, SIMC, a Sub-Adviser, the Fund's distributor, and other service providers, market makers, APs or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions, negatively impact the Fund's business operations and/or potentially result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders.

SEI / SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
Performance
It is currently contemplated that before the Fund commences operations, the Fund will acquire the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization is expected to occur on May 18, 2026. As a result of the Reorganization, the Fund will assume the Predecessor Fund's performance and accounting history prior to the date of the Reorganization. Accordingly, the performance shown for periods prior to the Reorganization represents the performance of the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund's investment objective was identical to the Fund's and the Predecessor Fund was managed in a manner that, in all material respects, complied with the investment guidelines and restrictions of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund was also advised by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers.
The Predecessor Fund's returns in the bar chart and table have not been restated to reflect the Fund's expenses. If the Predecessor Fund's performance information had been adjusted to reflect the Fund's expenses, the performance may have differed for a given period depending on the expenses incurred by the Predecessor Fund for that period.
The bar chart and the performance table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the Predecessor Fund's Class F Shares' performance for the past ten calendar years and by showing how the Predecessor Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years and since the Predecessor Fund's inception, compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Predecessor Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. For current performance information, please call 1-800-DIAL-SEI.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund is an ETF. Individual shares of the Fund may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker-dealer. Because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the bid-ask spread). Information of the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts and bid-ask spreads, as well as the median bid-ask spread for the most recent fiscal year will be available at www.seic.com/financial-advisors/flexible-investment-solutions/etfs.
Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxable to you as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account (IRA), in which case, your distributions generally will be taxed when withdrawn.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
