Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
SEI Institutional International Trust:
In planning and performing our audits of the
financial statements of SEI Institutional
International Trust, comprising the International
Equity Fund, Emerging Markets Equity Fund,
International Fixed Income Fund and Emerging Markets
Debt Fund (collectively the Funds), as of and for
the year ended September 30, 2011, in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), we considered the
Funds internal control over financial reporting,
including controls over safeguarding securities, as
a basis for designing our auditing procedures for
the purpose of expressing our opinion on the
financial statements and to comply with the
requirements of Form N-SAR, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Funds internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Management of the Funds is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by
management are required to assess the expected
benefits and related costs of controls. A companys
internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of
the companys assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
A deficiency in internal control over financial
reporting exists when the design or operation of a
control does not allow management or employees, in
the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a
timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency,
or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting, such that there is
a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the Funds annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis.
Our consideration of the Funds internal control over
financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph and would not
necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal
control that might be material weaknesses under
standards established by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However,
we noted no deficiencies in the Funds internal
control over financial reporting and its operation,
including controls over safeguarding securities,
that we consider to be a material weakness as
defined above as of September 30, 2011.
This report is intended solely for the information
and use of management and the Board
of Trustees of SEI Institutional International Trust
and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is
not intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.

agent of any investment advisor shall deal for or on
behalf of the Trust with himself as principal or
agent, or with any partnership, association or

interest; provided that the foregoing provisions
shall not prevent (a) officers and Trustees of the
Trust from buying, holding or selling shares in the

association which may at any time have a

shareholder of record at least annually a statement

or in part, by a majority of the Trustees then in
office at any meeting of the Trustees, or by one or
more writings signed by such majority.

execute trades in fund shares directly
with such fund companies and/or their
transfer agents which shall be settled in
an account established with each such fund
company or its transfer agent, the Trust
hereby acknowledges that BBH&Co. is under

4. Instructions. Unless otherwise explicitly
indicated herein, the Custodian shall perform its
duties pursuant to Instructions. As used herein,
the term Instruction shall mean a directive
initiated by the Trust, acting directly or
through its Board of Trustees, officers or other
Authorized Persons, as such term is defined in
Section 4.1 below, which directive shall conform
to the requirements of this Section 4.
4.1. Authorized Persons. For purposes hereof,
an Authorized Person shall be a person or
entity authorized by the Trust to give
Instructions for or on behalf of the Trust and
the Funds and designated as such by written
notices from the Trust to the Custodian (or
otherwise in accordance with procedures
delivered to and acknowledged by the
Custodian). The Custodian may treat any
Authorized Person as having full authority of
the Trust to issue Instructions hereunder
unless the notice of authorization contains
explicit limitations as to said authority. The
Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon the
authority of previously designated Authorized
Persons until it receives appropriate written
notice from the Trust to the contrary.
4.2. Form of Instruction. Each Instruction
shall be transmitted by such secured or
authenticated electro-mechanical means as the
Custodian shall make available to the Trust
from time to time unless the Trust elects to
transmit such Instruction in accordance with
Sections 4.2.1 through 4.2.3 of this Section.
4.2.1. Trust Designated Secured-
Transmission Method. Instructions may be
transmitted through a secured or tested
electro-mechanical means identified by the
Trust or by an Authorized Person entitled
to give Instruction and acknowledged and
accepted by the Custodian; it being
understood that such acknowledgment shall
authorize the Custodian to receive and
process such means of delivery, but shall
not represent a judgment by the Custodian
as to the reasonableness or security of
the method determined by the Authorized
Person (unless such method is a product
proprietary to the Custodian and offered
to the Trust by the Custodian).
4.2.2. Written Instructions. Instructions
may be transmitted in a writing that bears
the manual signature of an Authorized
Person.
4.2.3. Other Forms of Instruction.
Instructions may also be transmitted by
another means determined by the Trust or
Authorized Persons and acknowledged and
accepted by the Custodian (subject to the
same limits as to acknowledgements as is
contained in Section 4.2.1, above)
including, but not limited to,
Instructions given orally or by SWIFT,
telex or telefax (whether tested or
untested).
When an Instruction is given by means
established under Sections 4.2.1 through 4.2.3
above, it shall be the responsibility of the
Custodian to use reasonable care to adhere to
any security or other procedures established
in writing between the Custodian and the
Authorized Person with respect to such means
of Instruction, but such Authorized Person
shall be solely responsible for determining
that the particular means chosen is reasonable
under the circumstances (unless such method is
a product proprietary to the Custodian and
offered to the Trust by the Custodian). Oral
Instructions shall be binding upon the
Custodian only if and when the Custodian takes
action with respect thereto. With respect to
telefax instructions, the parties agree and
acknowledge that receipt of legible
Instructions cannot be assured, that the
Custodian cannot verify that authorized
signatures on telefax instructions arc
original or properly affixed, and that the
Custodian shall not be liable for losses or
expenses incurred through actions taken in
reasonable reliance on inaccurately stated,
illegible or unauthorized telefax
instructions. Custodian shall promptly notify
the Trust once it becomes aware that it has
received an illegible or unauthorized
Instruction and shall be protected in waiting
to act until such Instruction is clarified.
The provisions of Section 4A of the Uniform
Commercial Code shall apply to Funds Transfers
performed in accordance with Instructions. The
Funds Transfer Services Schedule and the
Electronic and Online Services Schedule to
this Agreement shall comprise a designation of
form of a means of delivering Instructions for
purposes of this Section 4.2.
4.3. Completeness and Contents of
Instructions. The Authorized Person shall be
responsible for assuring the adequacy and
accuracy of Instructions. Particularly, upon
any acquisition or disposition or other
dealing in a Funds Investments and upon any
delivery and transfer of any Investment or
moneys, the Authorized Person initiating such
Instruction shall give the Custodian an
Instruction with appropriate detail,
including, without limitation:
4.3.1. The transaction date and the date
and location of settlement;
4.3.2. The specification of the type of
transaction;
4.3.3. A description of the Investments
or moneys in question, including, as
appropriate, quantity, price per unit,
amount of money to be received or
delivered and currency information. Where
an Instruction is communicated by
electronic means, or otherwise where an
Instruction contains an identifying number
such as a CUSIP, SEDOL or ISIN number, the
Custodian shall be entitled to rely on
such number as controlling notwithstanding
any inconsistency contained in such
Instruction, particularly with respect to
Investment description; and
4.3.4. The name of the broker or similar
entity concerned with execution of the
transaction.
If the Custodian shall determine that an
Instruction is either unclear, inconsistent or
incomplete, the Custodian will give prompt
notice of such determination to the Trust, and
the Trust shall thereupon amend or otherwise
reform such Instruction. In such event, the
Custodian shall have no obligation to take any
action in response to the Instruction
initially delivered until the redelivery of an
amended or reformed Instruction.
4.4. Timeliness of Instructions. In giving an
Instruction, the Trust shall take into
consideration generally acknowledged or known
delays which may occur due to the involvement
of a Subcustodian or an agent, differences in
time zones, and other factors particular to a
given market, exchange or issuer. When the
Custodian has established, and communicated to
the Trust in advance and in writing, specific
timing requirements or deadlines with respect
to particular classes of Instructions, or when
an Instruction is received by the Custodian at
such a time that it could not reasonably be
expected to have acted on such Instruction due
to time zone differences or other factors
beyond its reasonable control, the execution
of any Instruction received by the Custodian
after such deadline or at such lime (including
any modification or revocation of a previous
Instruction) shall be at the risk of the
Trust.
5. Safekeeping of Fund Assets. The Custodian shall
hold Investments delivered to it or its
Subcustodians for a Fund in accordance with the
provisions of this Section. The Custodian shall
not be responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of
Investments not delivered or that are not caused
to be issued to it or its Subcustodians, in each
case through no fault or neglect of the Custodian
or ant of its Subcustodians; or (b) pre-existing
faults or defects in Investments that arc
delivered to the Custodian or its Subcustodians.
The Custodian is hereby authorized to hold with
itself or its Subcustodian, and to record in one
or more accounts, all Investments delivered to
and accepted by the Custodian, any Subcustodian
or their respective agents pursuant to an
Instruction or in consequence of any corporate
action. The Custodian shall hold Investments for
the account of the Trust (and the Funds) and
shall segregate Investments from assets belonging
to the Custodian and shall cause its
Subcustodians to segregate Investments from
assets belonging to the Subcustodian in an
account held for the Trust (and for the relevant
Fund) or in an account maintained by the
Subcustodian generally for non-proprietary assets
of the Custodian. Subject to paragraph 5.1, the
Custodian shall not, and shall procure that its
Subcustodians do not, commingle any assets held
for the account of one Fund with those held for
the account of another Fund.
5.1. Use of Securities Depositories. The
Custodian may deposit and maintain Investments
in any Securities Depository which qualifies
as a clearing corporation under Section 8-
102(a)(5) of the Uniform Commercial Code,
either directly or through one or more
Subcustodians appointed by the Custodian in
accordance with Section 8 hereof. Investments
held in a Securities Depository shall be held:
(a) subject to the agreement, rules, statement
of terms and conditions or other document or
conditions effective between the Securities
Depository and the Custodian or the
Subcustodian, as the case may be; and (b) in
an account for the Trust (or a Fund) or in
bulk segregation in an account maintained for
the non-proprietary assets of the entity
holding such Investments in the Depository
with appropriate identification of the Trusts
(and the Funds) Investments on the Custodians
books. If market practice or the rules and
regulations of the Securities Depository
prevent the Custodian, the Subcustodian (or
any nominee or agent of either) from holding
its client assets in such a non-proprietary
account, the Custodian, the Subcustodian or
other agent shall as appropriate segregate
such Investments for benefit of the Trust (or
the Funds) or for benefit of clients of the
Custodian generally on its own books with
appropriate identification of the Trusts (or
the Funds) Investments on the Custodians
books. Investments of a Fund maintained with a
Securities Depository, either directly or
through one or more Subcustodians appointed by
the Custodian, shall be held separately from
Investments of any other Fund.
5.2. Certificated Assets. Investments that
are certificated may be held in registered or
bearer form: (a) in the Custodians vault; (b)
in the vault of a Subcustodian or agent of the
Custodian or a Subcustodian; or (c) in an
account maintained by the Custodian,
Subcustodian or agent at a Securities
Depository; all in accordance with customary
market practice in the jurisdiction in which
any Investments are held.
5.3. Registered Assets. Investments that are
registered may be registered in the name of
the Custodian, a Subcustodian, or in the name
of the Trust (or a Fund) or a nominee for any
of the foregoing, and may be held in any
manner set forth in paragraph 5.2.
5.4. Book-Entry Assets. Investments that are
represented by book-entry may be so held in an
account maintained by the Book-entry Agent on
behalf of the Custodian, a Subcustodian or
another agent of the Custodian, or a
Securities Depository.
5.5. Replacement of Lost Investments. In the
event of a loss of Investments for which the
Custodian is responsible under the terms of
this Agreement, the Custodian shall replace
such Investment, or in the event that such
replacement cannot be effected, the Custodian
shall pay to the applicable Fund the fair
market value of such Investment based on the
last available price as of the close of
business in the relevant market on the date
that a claim was first made to the Custodian
with respect to such loss or, if less, such
other amount as shall be agreed by the parties
as the date for settlement.
6. Administrative Duties of the Custodian. The
Custodian shall perform the following
administrative duties with respect to Investments
of the Fund.
6.1. Purchase of Investments. Pursuant to
Instruction, Investments purchased for the
account of the Trust (or a Fund) shall be paid
for: (a) against delivery thereof to the
Custodian or a Subcustodian, as the case may
be, either directly or through a Clearing
Corporation or a Securities Depository (in
accordance with the rules of such Securities
Depository or such Clearing Corporation); or
(b) otherwise in accordance with an
Instruction, Applicable Law, generally
accepted trade practices, or the terms of the
instrument representing such Investment.
6.2. Sale of Investments. Pursuant to
Instruction, Investments sold for the account
of the Trust (or a Fund) shall be delivered

with a Clearing Corporation or a Securities

such Securities Depository or such Clearing
Corporation); or (c) otherwise in accordance
with an Instruction, the terms of the
instrument representing such Investment or, to
the extent not inconsistent with an
Instruction or the terms of such instrument,
Applicable Law or generally accepted trade
practices.
6.3. Delivery and Receipt in Connection with
Borrowings of a Fund or other Collateral and
Margin Requirements. Pursuant to Instruction,
the Custodian may deliver or receive
Investments or cash of the Trust (or a Fund)
in connection with borrowings or loans by the
Trust (or the Fund) and other collateral and
margin requirements.
6.4. Futures and Options. If, pursuant to an
Instruction, the Custodian shall become a
party to an agreement with the Trust or a Fund
and a futures commission merchant regarding
margin (Tri-Party Agreement), the Custodian
shall (a) receive and retain, to the extent
the same are provided to the Custodian,
confirmations or other documents evidencing
the purchase or sale by the Fund of exchange-

designated as initial, maintenance or
variation margin deposits or other collateral
intended to secure the Funds performance of
its obligations under the terms of any
exchange-traded futures contracts and
commodity options; and (c) thereafter pay,
release or transfer Investments into or out of
the margin account in accordance with the
provisions of such Agreement. Alternatively,
the Custodian may deliver Investments, in
accordance with an Instruction, to a futures
commission merchant for purposes of margin
requirements in accordance with Rule 17f-6
under the 1940 Act. The Custodian shall in no
event be responsible for the acts and
omissions of any futures commission merchant
to whom Investments are delivered pursuant to
this Section; for the sufficiency of
Investments held in any Margin Account; or,
for the performance of any terms of any
exchange-traded futures contracts and
commodity options.
6.5. Contractual Obligations and Similar
Investments. From time to time, the Trusts
Investments may include Investments that are
not ownership interests as may be represented
by certificate (whether registered or bearer),
by entry in a Securities Depository or by
book-entry agent, registrar or similar agent
for recording ownership interests in the
relevant Investment. If the Trust acquires
such Investments, including without limitation
deposit obligations, loan participations,
repurchase agreements and derivative
arrangements, the Custodian shall: (a) receive
and retain, to the extent the same are
provided to the Custodian, confirmations or
other documents evidencing the arrangement;
(b) in accordance with the Trusts or an
Authorized Persons Instructions, sign solely
as the Trusts attorney-in-fact under a power-
of-attorney, and not as a party to or a
participant in, documentation representing the
Trusts interest in such transactions; and (c)
perform on the Trusts account in accordance
with the terms of the applicable arrangement,
but only to the extent directed to do so by
Instruction. Except as provided herein, the
Custodian shall have no responsibility for
agreements running to the Trust as to which it
is not a party other than to retain, to the
extent the same are provided to the Custodian,
documents or copies of documents evidencing
the arrangement, execute documents on behalf
of the Trust, and, in accordance with
Instruction, to include such arrangements in
reports made to the Trust.
The Trust hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i)
in performing the duties provided for in this
Section 6.5, the Custodian is acting solely as
the designated attorney of the Trust and is in no
way to be construed to be acting as agent for the
Grantor or the Borrower (each as defined under
the relevant participant documentation); and (ii)
the custodial arrangement provided for herein is
not intended to constitute, and shall not be
construed to establish, a partnership or joint
venture between the Custodian and the Trust, or
between the Custodian, the Grantor or the
Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Custodian (a) makes no warranty or
representation and shall not be responsible for
any warranty or representation made in or in
connection with any of the participation
documents and related credit agreements, notes
and other agreements referenced therein, or for
the financial condition of any Borrower, or for
the observance or performance of any obligations
of a Grantor, a Borrower or any other person
(other than the Custodian itself or an agent or
an affiliate of the Custodian), or for the truth
or accuracy of any document provided to the Trust
that the Custodian has initially received from,
or that the Custodian has prepared based upon
information received from, a Grantor, a Borrower
or any other person; (b) makes no warranty or
representation as to and shall not be responsible
for the due execution, validity, enforceability,
sufficiency or collectibility of, any of the
participation documents and related credit
agreements, notes and other agreements referenced
therein, except with respect to the Custodianss
due execution of such participation document as
the Trusts designated attorney-in-fact hereunder;
(c) makes no warranty or guarantee as to; (i)
future payments by a Borrower or any other
obligor or guarantor of the loans, (ii) a

performance of any of the terms and conditions
contained in the participation documents and
related credit agreements, notes and other
agreements referenced therein, or (iii) the

related credit agreements, notes and other
agreements referenced therein.

or to any agent of such issuer or trustee, for

respect to Investments that are in default; or
(b) the collection of cash or share
entitlements with respect to Investments that

of their nominees or agents. The Custodian is
hereby authorized to endorse and deliver any

Investments.
6.11. Corporate Action Information. In
fulfilling the duties set forth in Sections
6.6 through 6.10 above, the Custodian shall
provide to the Fund such material information
pertaining to a corporate action which the
Custodian actually receives; provided that the
Custodian shall not be responsible for the
completeness or accuracy of such information.
Information relative to any pending corporate
action made available to the Fund via any of
the services described in the Electronic and
Online Services Schedule shall constitute the
delivery of such information by the Custodian.
Any advance credit of cash or shares expected
to be received as a result of any corporate
action shall be subject to actual collection
and may be reversed by the Custodian.
6.12. Proxy Materials. The Custodian shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Fund
proxy forms, notices of meeting, and any other
notices or announcements materially affecting
or relating to Investments received by the
Custodian. Information relative to any pending
corporate action made available to the Fund
via any of the services described in the
Electronic and Online Services Schedule shall
constitute the delivery of such information by
the Custodian.
6.13. Ownership Certificates and Disclosure of
a Funds Interest. The Custodian is hereby
authorized to execute on behalf of the Trust
ownership certificates, affidavits or other
disclosure required under Applicable Law or
established market practice in connection with

not, unless otherwise directed by an
Instruction, release the identity of the Trust
to an issuer which requests such information
pursuant to the Shareholder Communications Act
of 1985 for the specific purpose of direct
communications between such issuer and the
Trust. With respect to securities issued
outside of the United States of America,
information shall be released in accordance
with law or custom of the particular country
in which such security is located.
6.14. Taxes. The Custodian shall use its good
faith efforts consistent with the standard of
care set forth herein to obtain refunds of
taxes withheld on dividends and interest
payments received by the Trust that are
available under applicable tax laws, treaties,
and regulations. In the performance of its
duties with respect to tax withholding and
reclamation, the Custodian shall be entitled
to rely on the advice of counsel and upon
information and advice regarding the Trusts
tax status that is received from or on behalf
of the Trust without duty of separate inquiry
(subject to Section 12.11 below).
6.15. Other Dealings. The Custodian shall
otherwise act as directed by Instruction,
including without limitation effecting the
free payments of moneys (including payments of
dividends and distributions to Fund
shareholders and payments of Fund expenses) or
the free delivery of securities, provided that
such Instruction shall indicate the purpose of
such payment or delivery and that the
Custodian shall record the party to whom such
payment or delivery is made. The Custodian
shall attend to all nondiscretionary details
in connection with the sale or purchase or
other administration of Investments, except as
otherwise directed by an Instruction, and may
make payments to itself or others for minor
expenses of administering Investments under
this Agreement; provided that the Custodian
shall account to the Trust with respect to
such expenses.
In fulfilling the duties set forth in Sections
6.6 through 6.15 above, the Custodian shall
transmit promptly to the Trust all written
information (including, without limitation,
pendency of calls and maturities of domestic
securities and expirations of rights in
connection therewith and notices of exercise
of call and put options written by a Fund and
the maturity of futures contracts purchased or
sold) received by the Custodian from issuers
of the Investments being held for a Fund. With
respect to tender or exchange offers, the
Custodian shall transmit promptly to the Trust
all written information received by the
Custodian from issuers of the Investments
whose tender or exchange is sought and from
the party (or its agent) making the tender or
exchange offer. If the Trust desires to take
action with respect to any tender offer,
exchange offer and any other similar
transaction, the Trust shall notify the
Custodian on or prior to the date on which the
Custodian is to take such action.
6.16. Use of Agents. The Custodian may at any
time in its discretion appoint (and may at any
time remove) agents (other than Subcustodians)
to carry out some or all of the administrative
provisions of this Agreement (Agents)
provided, however, that the appointment of an
Agent shall not relieve the Custodian of its
administrative obligations under this
Agreement.
7. Cash Accounts, Deposits and Money Movements.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Section 7, the Trust hereby authorizes the
Custodian to open and maintain, with itself or
with Subcustodians, cash accounts in United
States Dollars, in such other currencies as are
the currencies of the countries in which the
Trust maintains Investments or in such other
currencies as the Trust shall from time to time
request by Instruction. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Trust
shall be liable as principal for any overdrafts
occurring in any cash accounts.
7.1. Types of Cash Accounts. Cash accounts
opened on the books of the Custodian
(Principal Accounts) shall be opened in the
name of the Trust (or a Fund). Such accounts
collectively shall be a deposit obligation of
the Custodian and shall be subject to the
terms of this Section 7 and the general
liability provisions contained in Section 10.
Cash accounts opened on the books of a
Subcustodian may be opened in the name of the
Trust (or a Fund), in the name of the
Custodian or in the name of the Custodian for
its customers generally, but reflected on the
books of the Custodian as being held for the
Trust (or a Fund) (Agency Accounts). Such
deposits shall be obligations of the
Subcustodian and shall be treated as an
Investment of the Trust (or a Fund).
Accordingly, the Custodian shall be
responsible for exercising reasonable care in
the administration of such accounts but shall
not be liable for their repayment in the event
such Subcustodian, by reason of its
bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise, fails to
make repayment. Nothing in this section shall
relieve the Custodian from responsibility for
selection and monitoring of Foreign or
Domestic Subcustodians with due care as
required by the terms of this Agreement. In
connection with the services provided
hereunder, the Custodian is hereby directed to
open cash accounts on its books and records
from time to time for the purposes of
receiving subscriptions and/or processing
redemptions on behalf of a Fund and/or for the
purposes of aggregating, netting and/or
clearing transactions (including, without
limitation foreign exchange, repurchase
agreements, capital stock activity, expense
payment) or other administrative purposes,
each on behalf of the Fund (each an Account).
Each such Account shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
Fund shall be liable for the satisfaction of
its obligations in connection with each
Account.
7.2. Payments and Credits with Respect to the
Cash Accounts. The Custodian shall make
payments from or deposits to any of said
accounts in the course of carrying out its
administrative duties, including but not
limited to income collection with respect to a
Funds Investments, payments of dividends and
distributions to Fund shareholders, payments
of Fund expenses, and otherwise in accordance
with Instructions. The Custodian and its
Subcustodians shall be required to make
available amounts in the cash accounts only
when moneys are actually received in cleared
funds in accordance with banking practice in
the country and currency of deposit. Any
credit made to any Principal or Agency Account
before actual receipt of cleared funds shall
be provisional and may be reversed by the
Custodian in the event such payment is not
actually collected. The Custodian shall give
the Fund prompt notice of any such reversal.
Unless otherwise specifically agreed in
writing by the Custodian or any Subcustodian,
all deposits shall be payable only at the
branch of the Custodian or Subcustodian where
the deposit is made or carried.
7.3. Currency and Related Risks. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Funds bear the
risks of holding or transacting in any
currency including any mark to market exposure
associated with a foreign exchange transaction
undertaken with the Custodian. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Custodian shall
not be liable for any loss or damage arising
from the applicability of any law or
regulation now or hereafter in effect, or from
the occurrence of any event, not resulting
from the negligence or willful misconduct of
the Custodian, which may delay or adversely
affect the transferability, convertibility or
availability of any currency in the country
(a) in which such Principal or Agency Accounts
are maintained or (b) in which such currency
is issued, and in no event shall the Custodian
be obligated to make payment of a deposit
denominated in a currency during the period
during which its transferability,
convertibility or availability has been
prevented or adversely affected by any such
law, regulation or event. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, neither the
Custodian nor any Subcustodian shall be
required to repay any deposit made at a
foreign branch of either the Custodian or
Subcustodian if such branch cannot repay the
deposit due to a cause for which the Custodian
would not be responsible in accordance with
the terms of Section 10 of this Agreement
unless the Custodian or such Subcustodian
expressly agrees in writing to repay the
deposit under such circumstances. The
Custodian shall, however, at the Trusts
request extend reasonable cooperation to the
Trust in connection with the Trusts endeavors
to obtain repayment of the deposit. Such
cooperation to include without limitation,
making or arranging for the applicable
Subcustodian to make, in the name and on
behalf of the Trust or otherwise, any required
filings or applications with the appropriate
authorities or central bank in the affected
jurisdiction, provided however, that such
cooperation shall not require the Custodian to
incur any material expense or liability unless
the Custodian is furnished by the Trust with
specific indemnification, reasonably
satisfactory to the Custodian, against such
expense or liability. All currency
transactions in any account opened pursuant to
this Agreement are subject to any applicable
exchange control regulations of the United
States and of the country where such currency
is the lawful currency or where the account is
maintained. Any taxes, costs, charges or fees
imposed on the convertibility of a currency
held by a Fund shall be for the account of the
Fund.
7.4. Foreign Exchange Transactions. The
Custodian shall, subject to the terms of this
Section, settle foreign exchange transactions
(including contracts, futures, options and
options on futures) on behalf and for the
account of a Fund with such currency brokers
or banking institutions, including
Subcustodians, as the Fund may direct pursuant
to Instructions. The Custodian may act as
principal in any foreign exchange transaction
with a Fund in accordance with Section 7.4.2
of this Agreement. The obligations of the
Custodian in respect of all foreign exchange
transactions (whether or not the Custodian
shall act as principal in such transaction)
shall be contingent on the free, unencumbered
transferability of the currency transacted on
the actual settlement date of the transaction
unless such limitation was also in effect on
the trade date of the transaction.
7.4.1. Third Party Foreign Exchange
Transactions. The Custodian shall process
foreign exchange transactions (including
without limitation contracts, futures,
options, and options on futures), where
any third party acts as principal
counterparty to the Fund on the same basis
it performs duties as agent for the Fund
with respect to any other of the Funds
Investments. Accordingly the Custodian
shall only be responsible for delivering
or receiving currency on behalf of the
Fund in respect of such contracts pursuant
to Instructions. The Custodian shall not
be responsible for the failure of any
counterparty (including any Subcustodian)
in such agency transaction to perform its
obligations thereunder. The Custodian (a)
shall transmit cash and Instructions to
and from the currency broker or banking
institution with which a foreign exchange
contract or option has been executed
pursuant hereto, (b) may make free
outgoing payments of cash in the form of
Dollars or foreign currency without
receiving confirmation of a foreign
exchange contract or option or
confirmation that the countervalue
currency completing the foreign exchange
contract has been delivered or received or
that the option has been delivered or
received and (c) may, in connection with
cash payments made to third party currency
brokers/dealers for settlement of the
Funds foreign exchange spot or forward
transactions, foreign currency swap
transactions and similar foreign exchange
transactions, process settlements using
the facilities of the CLS Bank according
to CLS Banks standard terms and conditions
and (d) shall hold all confirmations,
certificates and other documents and
agreements received by the Custodian and
evidencing or relating to such foreign
exchange transactions in safekeeping. The
Funds accept full responsibility for its
use of third-party foreign exchange
dealers and for execution of said foreign
exchange contracts and options, and
understands that the Funds shall be
responsible for any and all costs and
interest charges which may be incurred by
a Fund or the Custodian as a result of the
failure or delay of third parties to
deliver foreign exchange. Nothing in this
section shall relieve the Custodian of its
responsibility for its own actions in
connection with such transactions.
7.4.2. Foreign Exchange with the
Custodian as Principal. The Custodian may
undertake foreign exchange transactions
with a Fund as principal, as the Custodian
and the Fund may agree from time to time.
In such event, the foreign exchange
transaction will be performed in
accordance with the particular agreement
of the parties, or in the event a
principal foreign exchange transaction is
initiated by an Instruction in the absence
of a specific agreement, such transaction
will be performed in accordance with the
usual commercial terms of the Custodian
including the Online Terms and Conditions
described in Section 12.12. In the event
that the Fund defaults on the settlement
of any such foreign exchange transaction
with the Custodian, the Fund shall be
liable for contracted currency of the
transaction together with any mark to
market exposure associated with the
replacement purchase of the contracted
currency undertaken with the Custodian.
7.5. Delays. In the event that a delay shall
have been caused by the negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct of the Custodian in
carrying out an Instruction to credit or
transfer cash, the Custodian shall be liable
to and indemnify the Fund for damages, plus:
(a) with respect to Principal Accounts, for
interest to be calculated at the rate
customarily paid on such deposit and currency
by the Custodian on overnight deposits at the
time the delay occurs for the period from the
day when the transfer should have been
effected until the day it is in fact effected;
and (b) with respect to Agency Accounts, for
interest to be calculated at the rate
customarily paid on such deposit and currency
by the Subcustodian on overnight deposits at
the time the delay occurs for the period from
the day when the transfer should have been
effected until the day it is in fact effected.
The Custodian shall not be liable for delays
in carrying out such Instructions to transfer
cash that are not due to the Custodians own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
7.6. Advances. If, for any reason in
connection with this Agreement the Custodian
or any
7.6.1. Subcustodian makes an Advance to
facilitate settlement or otherwise for the
benefit of the Fund (whether or not any
Principal or Agency Account shall be
overdrawn either during, or at the end of,
any Business Day), the Fund hereby does:
7.6.2. acknowledge that the Fund shall
have no right, title or interest in or to
any Investments purchased with such
Advance or proceeds of such Investments,
and that any credit to an account of Fund
shall be provisional, until: (a) the debit
of the Principal or Agency Account by
Custodian for an amount equal to Advance
Costs: and/or (b) if such debit produces
an overdraft in such account,
reimbursement to the Custodian or
Subcustodian for the amount of such
overdraft;
7.6.3. acknowledge that the Custodian has
an automatically perfected statutory
security interest in Investments purchased
with any such Advance pursuant to Section
9-206 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in the State of New York from time
to time; in addition, in order to secure
the obligations of the Fund to pay or
perform any and all obligations of the
Fund pursuant to this Agreement, including
without limitation to repay any Advance
made pursuant to this Agreement, grant to
the Custodian a security interest in all
Investments and proceeds thereof (as
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as
currently in effect in the State of New
York); and agree to take, and agree that
the Custodian may take, in respect of the
security interest referenced above, any
further actions that the Custodian may
reasonably require to perfect or otherwise
protect the same.
7.7. Custodians Rights Neither the Custodian
nor any Subcustodian shall be obligated to
make any Advance or to allow an Advance to
occur to the Fund, and in the event that the
Custodian or any Subcustodian does make or
allow an Advance, any such Advance and any
transaction giving rise to such Advance shall
be for the account and risk of the Fund and
shall not be deemed to be a transaction
undertaken by the Custodian for its own
account and risk. If such Advance shall have
been made or allowed by a Subcustodian or any
other person, the Custodian may assign all or
part of its security interest referenced above
and any other rights granted to the Custodian
hereunder to such Subcustodian or other
person. If the Fund shall fail to repay the
Advance Costs when due, the Custodian or its
assignee, as the case may be. shall be
entitled to a portion of the available cash
balance in any Agency or Principal Account
equal to such Advance Costs, and the Fund
authorizes the Custodian, on behalf of the
Fund, to pay an amount equal to such Advance
Costs irrevocably to such Subcustodian or
other person, and to dispose of any property
in such Account to the extent necessary to
make such payment. Any Investments and funds
credited to accounts subject to this Agreement
created pursuant hereto shall be treated as
financial assets credited to securities
accounts under Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in the State of
New York from time to time. Accordingly, the
Custodian and any Subcustodian shall have the
rights and benefits of a secured creditor that
is a securities intermediary under such
Articles 8 and 9.
7.8. Integrated Account. For purposes hereof,
deposits maintained in all Principal Accounts
(whether or not denominated in Dollars) shall
collectively constitute a single and
indivisible current account with respect to
the Funds obligations to the Custodian or its
assignee, and balances in the Principal
Accounts shall be available for satisfaction
of the Funds obligations under this Section 7.
The Custodian shall further have a right of
offset against the balances in any Agency
Account maintained hereunder to the extent
that the aggregate of all Principal Accounts
is overdrawn.
8. Subcustodians and Securities Depositories.
Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth
in this Section 8, the Funds hereby authorize the
Custodian to utilize Securities Depositories to
act on behalf of a Fund and to appoint from time
to time and to utilize Subcustodians selected
with due care. With respect to Investments held
by a Subcustodian, either directly or indirectly
(including by a Securities Depository or Clearing
Corporation), notwithstanding any provisions of
this Agreement to the contrary, payment for
securities purchased and delivery of securities
sold may, if consistent with prevailing market
practices, be made prior to receipt of securities
or payment, respectively, and securities or
payment may be received in a form, in accordance
with (a) governmental regulations, (b) rules of
Securities Depositories and clearing agencies,
(c) generally accepted trade practice in the
applicable local market, (d) the terms and
characteristics of the particular Investment, or
(e) the terms of Instructions.
8.1. Domestic Subcustodians and Securities
Depositories. The Custodian may deposit and/or
maintain, either directly or through one or
more agents appointed by the Custodian,
Investments of a Fund in any Securities
Depository in the United States, including The
Depository Trust Company, provided such
Depository meets applicable requirements of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and of the SFC. The Custodian may, at
any time and from time to time, appoint any
bank as defined in Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940
Act meeting the requirements of a custodian
under Section 17(f) of the 1940 Act, and the
rules and regulations thereunder, to act on
behalf of a Fund as a Subcustodian for
purposes of holding Investments of the Fund in
the United States. The Custodian shall only
use depositories that qualify as such under
Rule 17f-4 under the 1940 Act and shall hold
Investments of a Fund in such depositories in
a manner consistent with the provisions of the
rule governing the manner in which a custodian
may maintain securities in such a depository.
8.2. Foreign Subcustodians and Securities
Depositories. Unless instructed otherwise by a
Fund, the Custodian may deposit and/or
maintain non-U.S. Investments of the Fund in
any Foreign Securities Depository; provided,
such Securities Depository meets the
requirements of an eligible securities
depository under Rule 17f-7 promulgated under
the 1940 Act, or any successor rule or
regulation (Rule 17f-7), or which by order of
the SEC is exempted therefrom. Prior to the
time that Investments are placed with such
depository, the Custodian shall have prepared
and delivered to the Fund a written assessment
of the custody risks associated with
maintaining assets with the Securities
Depository and shall have established a system
to monitor such risks on a continuing basis in
accordance with subsection 8.2.3 of this
Section. Additionally, the Custodian may, at
any time and from time to time, appoint (a)
any bank, trust company or other entity
meeting the requirements of an eligible
foreign custodian under Rule 17f-5, or any
successor rule or regulation (Rule 17f- 5), or
which by order of the SEC is exempted
therefrom, or (b) any bank as defined in
Section 2(a)(5) of the 1940 Act meeting the
requirements of a custodian under Section
17(f) of the 1940 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder, to act on behalf of
the Fund as a Subcustodian for puiposes of
holding Investments of the Fund outside the
United States in accordance with the
Delegation Schedule. Such appointment of
foreign Subcustodians shall be subject to
approval of the Funds in accordance with
Sections 8.2.1 and 8.2.2 hereof, and use of
Foreign Securities Depositories shall be
subject to the terms of Sections 8.2.3 hereof.
An Instruction to open an account in a given
country shall comprise authorization of the
Custodian to hold assets in such country in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Custodian shall not be required to make
independent inquiry as to the Funds ability to
invest in such country. Nothing in this
Section shall relieve the Custodian of its
responsibility for performance of its duties
under Section 8.2.3 or the Delegation
Schedule.
8.2.1. Board Approval of Foreign
Subcustodians. Unless and except to the
extent that the board of directors of the
Fund has delegated to and the Custodian
has accepted delegation of review of
certain matters concerning the appointment
of Subcustodians pursuant to Section 8.2.2
below, the Custodian shall, prior to the
appointment of any Subcustodian for
purposes of holding Investments of a Fund
outside the United States, obtain written
confirmation of the approval of the Trusts
Board of Trustees with respect to (a) the
identity of a Subcustodian, and (b) the
Subcustodian agreement which shall govern
such appointment, such approval to be
signed by an Authorized Person
8.2.2. Delegation of Board Review of
Subcustodians. From time to time, the
Custodian may agree to perform certain
reviews of Subcustodians and of
Subcustodian Contracts as delegate of the
Trusts Board. In such event, the
Custodians duties and obligations with
respect to this delegated review will be
performed in accordance with the terms of
the attached Delegation Schedule to this
Agreement.
8.2.3. Monitoring and Risk Assessment of
Securities Depositories. Prior to the
placement of any assets of a Fund with a
Foreign Securities Depository, the
Custodian: (a) shall provide to the Fund
or its authorized representative a written
assessment of the custody risks associated
with maintaining assets within such
Securities Depository, which shall include
a determination as to whether the
Securities Depository qualifies as an
eligible securities depository as defined
under Rule 17f-7; (b) shall have
established a system to monitor the
custody risks associated with maintaining
assets with such Securities Depository and
the continued qualification of the
Depository as an eligible securities
depository on a continuing basis, and to
promptly notify the Funds Investment
Adviser of any material changes in such
risk or qualification; and (c) will
promptly notify the Fund in writing of any
such material changes. In performing its
duties under this subsection, the
Custodian shall use reasonable care,
prudence and diligence, and may rely on
such reasonable sources of information as
may be available, including, but not
limited to: (i) published ratings; (ii)
information supplied by a Subcustodian
that is a participant in such Securities
Depository; (iii) industry surveys or
publications; (iv) information supplied by
the depository itself, by its auditors
(internal or external) or by the relevant
Foreign Financial Regulatory Authority. It
is acknowledged that information procured
through some or all of these sources may
not be independently verifiable by the
Custodian and that direct access to
Securities Depositories is limited under
most circumstances. Accordingly, the
Custodian shall not be responsible for
errors or omissions in its duties
hereunder provided that it has acted with
reasonable care consistent with prevailing
practices of global custodians in
performing its monitoring and assessment
duties, gathering such information,
choosing such sources, and relying on such
information and sources. The risk
assessment shall be provided to the Funds
or their Investment Advisor by such means
as the Custodian and the Funds shall
reasonably agree. Advices of material
change in such assessment may be provided
by the Custodian in the manner established
as customary between the Fund and the
Custodian for transmission of material
market information.
8.3. Responsibility for Subcustodians. Except
as provided in the last sentence of this
Section 8.3, the Custodian shall be liable to
the Trust for any loss or damage to the Trust
(or a Fund) caused by or resulting from the
acts or omissions of any Subcustodian, to the
extent that the Custodian would be liable to
the Trust (or the Fund) hereunder. The
liability of the Custodian in respect of
countries and Subcustodians in Recover Markets
shall be subject to the additional condition
that the Custodian actually recovers such loss
or damage from the Subcustodian.
8.4. New Countries. The Custodian and the
Funds will work together in good faith to
arrange for custody in such new markets as a
Fund may request, recognizing that it may not
be possible to secure an eligible foreign
custodian meeting the requirements of Rule
17f-5 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund shall be
responsible for informing the Custodian
sufficiently in advance of a proposed
investment that is to be held in a country in
which no Subcustodian is authorized to act in
order that the Custodian shall, if it deems
appropriate to do so, have sufficient time to
establish a subcustodial arrangement in
accordance herewith. In the event, however,
the Custodian is unable to establish such
arrangements prior to the time such investment
is to be acquired, the Custodian shall provide
notice of such fact to the Fund and, upon
authorization by the Fund, may designate at
its discretion a local safekeeping agent, and
the use of such local safekeeping agent shall
be at the sole risk of the Fund, and
accordingly the Custodian shall be responsible
to the Fund for the actions of such agent if
and only to the extent the Custodian shall
have recovered from such agent for any damages
caused the Trust or Fund by such agent.
9. Responsibility of the Custodian. In performing
its duties and obligations hereunder, the
Custodian shall exercise good faith, and use
reasonable care. Subject to the specific
provisions of this Section, the Custodian shall
be liable for any damage incurred by the Trust in
consequence of the Custodians (or its employees,
partners or officers) negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. In no event shall either
party be liable hereunder to the other for any
special, indirect, punitive or consequential
damages arising out of, pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement. It is agreed
that, except as otherwise provided herein, the
Custodian shall have no duty to assess the risks
inherent in a Funds Investments (except as
provided in Sections 8.2 and 8.2.3 of this
Agreement) or to provide investment advice with
respect to such Investments and that the Fund as
principal shall bear any risks attendant to
particular Investments such as failure of
counterparty or issuer
9.1. Limitations of Performance. The
Custodian shall not be responsible under this
Agreement for any failure to perform its
duties, and shall not liable hereunder for any
loss or damage in association with such
failure to perform, for or in consequence of
the following causes:
9.1.1. Force Majeure. Force Majeure shall
mean any circumstance or event which is
beyond the reasonable control of the Fund,
Custodian, a Subcustodian or any agent of

Fund or the Custodian of its obligations

transferability of a currency or a
currency position on the actual settlement
date of a foreign exchange transaction,
whether or not resulting from or
reflecting the occurrence of any Sovereign
Risk, or (i) any other cause similarly
beyond the partys reasonable control.

this Agreement and shall not be liable
hereunder for any loss or damage in
consequence of any Force Majeure
circumstance or event.

respect to the acquisition, ownership,

Section 8.2.3 of this Agreement or the
Delegation Schedule attached hereto.

respect of any jurisdiction, including the
United States of America, where

information in good faith and has acted
with reasonable care in a manner
consistent with prevailing market
practices of global custodians.
9.2.3. Reliance on Instruction. Action by

Fund.
9.2.4. Restricted Securities. The

FUNDS TRANSFER SERVICES SCHEDULE
(FTSS)
In accordance with Section 4.2 of the Custodian
Agreement, the Fund acknowledges the following terms
and conditions in respect of all funds transfers
effected by the Custodian. References to UCC 4A
shall mean Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code
as currently in effect in the State of New York.
Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings accorded to them in the Custodian
Agreement.
1. Transmission of Payment Orders. Each FT
Instruction shall be transmitted by such secured
or authenticated means and subject to such
security procedures as the Custodian shall make
available to the Fund from time to time (such
transmission method and security procedures, a
Custodian Designated Security Procedure), unless
the Fund shall elect to transmit such FT
Instruction in accordance with a Fund Designated
Security Procedure (as defined in Section 4
below). The Fund acknowledges and agrees that
the Custodian will use the security procedures
referenced in Sections 3 and 4 below solely to
authenticate a FT Instruction, as set forth
herein, and not to detect any errors or omissions
therein.
2. Custodian Designated Security Procedure. The
Custodian will make the following Custodian
Designated Security Procedures available to the
Fund for use in communicating FT Instructions to
the Custodian:
* BBH Worldview Payment Products. The
Custodian offers to the Fund use of its BBH
Worldview Payment Products (BBH Worldview),
which are Custodian proprietary on-line
payment order authorization facilities with
built-in authentication procedures. The
Custodian and the Fund shall each be
responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of passwords or other codes
used by them in connection with BBH Worldview.
The Custodian will act on FT Instructions
received through BBH Worldview without duty of
further confirmation unless the Fund notifies
the Custodian that its password is not secure.
The Fund agrees that access to, and use of,
BBH Worldview shall be governed by an
Electronic and On-line Services Schedule,
which the Fund will execute prior to access to
BBH Worldview.
* SWIFT Transmission. The Custodian and the Fund
shall comply with SWIFTs authentication
procedures. The Custodian will act on FT
Instructions received via SWIFT provided the
instruction is authenticated by the SWIFT
system.
* Written Instructions. Instructions may be
transmitted in an original writing that bears
the manual signature of an Authorized
Person(s).
3. Fund Designated Security Procedure. FT
Instructions may be transmitted through such
other means, and subject to such additional
security procedures, as may be elected by the
Fund (or by an Authorized Person entitled to give
Instructions) and acknowledged and accepted by
the Custodian (the transmission methods and
security procedures referenced below, as may be
supplemented by such additional security
procedures, each a Fund Designated Security
Procedure); it being understood that the
Custodians acknowledgment shall authorize it to
accept such means of delivery but shall not
represent a judgment by the Custodian as to the
reasonableness or security of the means utilized
by the Fund.
* Computer Transmission. The Custodian is able
to accept transmissions sent from the Funds
computer facilities to the Custodians computer
facilities. If the Fund determines to use its
proprietary transmission or other electronic
transmission method, it must provide Custodian
sufficient notice and information to allow
testing or other confirmation that FT
Instructions received via the Fund Designated
Security Procedure can be processed in good
time and order. The Custodian may require the
Fund to execute additional documentation prior
to the use of such transmission method.
* Facsimile Transmission.
A FT Instruction transmitted to the Custodian by
facsimile transmission must be transmitted by the
Fund to a telephone number specified from time to
time by the Custodian for such purposes. The
Custodian will then follow one of the procedures
below:
1. If the facsimile requests a non-repetitive
order, the Custodian will call the Fund and
request to speak to an Authorized Person ,
and confirm the authorization and details
of the payment order (a Callback);
2. If the facsimile FT Instruction pertains to
a repetitive payment order (see Section 7
below), the Custodian may (at its sole
discretion) perform a Callback. The Fund
acknowledges that prior to its issuance of
any repetitive payment order, it must (a)
request that the appropriate repetitive
payment order process be approved and set
up at the Custodian, and (b) complete such
documentation as may be required by the
Custodian, including a PPO (as defined in
Section 7).
The Custodian shall rely on the purported
identity of the originator but due to the lack of
reliability of a facsimile signature, it will not
perform signature verification on facsimiles.
* Telephonic. The Fund may call a telephonic
payment order into the Custodian at the
telephone number designated from time-to-time
by the Custodian for that purpose. The caller
shall identify herself/himself as an
Authorized Person. The Custodian shall obtain
the FT Instruction details from the caller.
The Custodian shall then follow one of the
procedures below:
i. If the telephonic FT Instruction
pertains to a non-repetitive payment
order, the Custodian will perform a
Callback; or
ii. If the telephonic FT Instruction
pertains to a repetitive payment order
(see Section 7 below), the Custodian may
(at its sole discretion) perform a
Callback. The Fund acknowledges that
prior to its issuance of any repetitive
payment order, it must (a) request that
the appropriate repetitive payment order
process be approved and set up at the
Custodian, and (b) complete such
documentation as may be required by the
Custodian, including a PPO.
In electing to transmit a FT Instruction via a
Fund Designated Security Procedure, the Fund (i)
agrees to be bound by the transaction(s) or
payment order(s) specified on said FT
Instruction, whether or not authorized, and
accepted by the Custodian in compliance with such
Fund Designated Security Procedure, and
(ii) accepts the risk associated with such Fund
Designated Security Procedure and confirms it is
commercially reasonable for the transmission and
authentication of the FT Instruction.
The parties agree that the Funds transmission of
a FT Instruction by means of any of the above
Fund Designated Security Procedures and the
Custodians acceptance and execution of such FT
Instruction shall constitute a FT Instruction
sent via a Fund Designated Security Procedure and
governed by the terms of this FTSA.
4. Rejection of Payment Orders; Rescission of
Designated Security Procedure. The Custodian
shall give the Fund timely notice of the
Custodians rejection of a FT Instruction. Such
notice may be given in writing, via a Custodian
Designated Security Procedure or any Fund
Designated Security Procedure used by the Fund,
or orally by telephone, each of which is hereby
deemed commercially reasonable. In the event the
Custodian fails to execute a properly executable
FT Instruction and fails to give the Fund notice
of the Custodians non-execution, the Custodian
shall be liable only for the Funds actual damages
and only to the extent that such damages are
recoverable under UCC 4A. The Custodian, after
providing prior written notice, may decide to no
longer accept a particular Fund or Custodian
Designated Security Procedure, or to do so only
on revised terms, in the event that it determines
that such agreed or established method of
transmission represents a security risk or is
attendant to any general change in the Custodians
policy regarding FT Instructions.
Notwithstanding anything in this FTSA and the
Agreement to the contrary, the Custodian shall in
no event be liable for any consequential,
indirect, special or punitive damages under this
FTSA, whether or not such damages relate to
services covered by UCC 4A, even if the Custodian
was advised of the possibility of such damages.
5. Cancellation of Payment Orders. The Fund may
cancel a FT Instruction but the Custodian shall
have no liability for the Custodians failure to
act on a cancellation FT Instruction unless the
Custodian has received such cancellation FT
Instruction at a time and in a manner affording
the Custodian reasonable opportunity to act prior
to the Custodians execution of the original FT
Instruction. Any cancellation FT Instruction
shall be sent and confirmed by such means as is
set forth in Section 3 or 4 above.
6. Preauthorized Repetitive Payment Orders. The
Fund may establish with the Custodian a process
to preauthorize certain repetitive payments or
transfers. The Fund will execute all
documentation required by the Custodian,
including a separate Preauthorized Repetitive
Payment Order (PPO) form. The PPO shall be
delivered to the Custodian in writing or by
another Custodian Designated Security Procedure
or Fund Designated Security Procedure, and will
become effective after the Custodian shall have
had a reasonable opportunity to act thereon (or
if later, two (2) banking days after receipt by
the Custodian). The PPO may take the form of
either:
i. A standing instruction in which the Fund
provides in the PPO all required
information for a FT Instruction (except
for the transfer date and amount) on a
standing instructions basis. The Fund
may from time-to-time instruct the
Custodian to make a payment under the
PPO, in writing or another Custodian
Designated Security Procedure or Fund
Designated Security Procedure, which
instruction shall reference the
repetitive line number (a number
assigned to it by the Custodian after
execution of the PPO), details of the
payment, the transfer date and the
amount of the transfer; or
ii. A recurring instruction in which the
Fund supplies all required information
for a FT Instruction with an instruction
to process such payments with a specific
frequency.
7. Responsibility for the Detection of Errors in
Payment Orders; Liability of the Parties. The
purpose of any Fund Designated Security Procedure
or Custodian Designated Security Procedure is to
confirm the authenticity of any FT Instruction
and is not designed to detect errors or omissions
in such FT Instructions. Therefore, the
Custodian is not responsible for detecting any
Fund error or omission contained in any FT
Instruction received by the Custodian. In the
event that the FT Instruction either (i)
identifies the beneficiary by both a name and an
identifying or Fund account number and the name
and number identify different persons or
entities, or (ii) identifies any Fund by both a
name and an identifying number and the number
identifies a person or entity different from the
Fund identified by name, execution of the
relevant payment order, payment to the
beneficiary, cancellation of the payment order or
actions taken by the Custodian or any Fund in
respect of such payment order may be made solely
on the basis of the number.
The Custodian shall not be liable for interest on
the amount of any FT Instruction that was not
authorized or was erroneously executed unless the
Fund so notifies the Custodian within thirty (30)
days following the Funds receipt of notice that
such FT Instruction was processed. Any
compensation payable in the form of interest
shall be payable in accordance with UCC 4A. If a
FT Instruction in the name of the Fund and
accepted by the Custodian was not authorized by
the Fund, the liability of the parties will be
governed by the applicable provisions of UCC 4A.

Assets placed in custody with each Eligible
Foreign Custodian selected by the Delegate
pursuant to Section 3 of this Delegation
Schedule and shall promptly report as to any
material changes to such foreign custody
arrangements. Delegate will prepare such a
report with respect to any Eligible Foreign
Custodian that the Delegate has been
instructed to use pursuant to Section 7 of
this Delegation Schedule only to the extent
specifically agreed with respect to the
particular situation. The Delegate also will
provide the Trust with any additional
information about the Trusts foreign custody
arrangements as the Trust may reasonably
request from time to time.
6. Withdrawal of Funds Assets. If the Delegate
determines that an arrangement with a specific
Eligible Foreign Custodian selected by the
Delegate under Section 3 of this Delegation
Schedule no longer meets the requirements of
said Section, Delegate shall withdraw the
Trusts Assets from the non-complying
arrangement as soon as reasonably practicable;
provided, however, that if in the reasonable
judgment of the Delegate, such withdrawal
would require liquidation of any of the Trusts
Assets or would materially impair the
liquidity, value or other investment
characteristics of the Trusts Assets, it shall
be the duty of the Delegate to provide
information regarding the particular
circumstances and to act only in accordance
with Instructions of the Trust or its
Investment Advisor with respect to such
liquidation or other withdrawal.
7. Direction as to Eligible Foreign Custodian.
Notwithstanding this Delegation Schedule, the
Trust, acting through its Board, its
Investment Advisor or its other authorized
representative, may direct the Delegate to
place and maintain the Trusts Assets with a
particular Eligible Foreign Custodian,
including without limitation with respect to
investment in countries as to which the
Custodian will not provide delegation
services. In such event, the Delegate shall be
entitled to rely on any such instruction as an
Instruction under the terms of the Custodian
Agreement and shall have no duties under this
Delegation Schedule with respect to such
arrangement save those that it may undertake
specifically in writing with respect to each
particular instance.
8. Standard of Care. In carrying out its duties
under this Delegation Schedule, the Delegate
agrees to exercise reasonable care, prudence
and diligence such as a person having
responsibility for safekeeping the Trusts
Assets would exercise.
9. Representations. The Delegate hereby
represents and warrants that it is a U.S. Bank

Delegation Schedule has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Delegate and is

INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
SEI INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL TRUST
AGREEMENT made as of this 26th day of October,
2011 between SEI Investments Management Corporation
(the Adviser) and J O Hambro Capital Management
Limited (the Sub-Adviser).
WHEREAS, SEI Institutional International
Trust, a Massachusetts business trust (the Trust),
is registered as an open-end management investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser has entered into an
Investment Advisory Agreement dated December 16,
1994, as amended, (the Advisory Agreement) with the
Trust, pursuant to which the Adviser acts as
investment adviser to each series of the Trust set
forth on Schedule A attached hereto (each a Fund,
and collectively, the Funds), as such Schedule may
be amended by mutual agreement of the parties
hereto; and
WHEREAS, the Adviser, with the approval of the
Trust, desires to retain the Sub-Adviser to provide
investment advisory services to the Adviser in
connection with the management of a Fund, and the
Sub-Adviser is willing to render such investment
advisory services.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Duties of
the Sub-Adviser. Subject to supervision by
the Adviser and the Trusts Board of Trustees,
the Sub-Adviser shall manage all of the
securities and other assets of each Fund
entrusted to it hereunder (the Assets),
including the purchase, retention and
disposition of the Assets, in accordance with
the Funds investment objectives, policies and
restrictions as stated in each Funds
prospectus and statement of additional
information, as currently in effect and as
amended or supplemented from time to time
(referred to collectively as the Prospectus),
and subject to the following:
(a) The Sub-Adviser shall, in
consultation with and subject to the
direction of the Adviser, determine from
time to time what Assets will be
purchased, retained or sold by a Fund,
and what portion of the Assets will be
invested or held uninvested in cash.
(b) In the performance of its duties
and obligations under this Agreement,
the Sub-Adviser shall act in conformity
with the Trusts Declaration of Trust (as
defined herein), Prospectus, Compliance
Policies and Procedures and with the
instructions and directions of the
Adviser and of the Board of Trustees of
the Trust and will conform to and comply
with the requirements of the 1940 Act,
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
Code), and all other applicable federal
and state laws and regulations, as each
is amended from time to time.
(c) The Sub-Adviser shall determine
the Assets to be purchased or sold by a
Fund as provided in subparagraph (a) and
will place orders with or through such
persons, brokers or dealers to carry out
the policy with respect to brokerage set
forth in a Funds Prospectus or as the
Board of Trustees or the Adviser may
direct from time to time, in conformity
with all federal securities laws. In
executing Fund transactions and
selecting brokers or dealers, the Sub-
Adviser will use its best efforts to
seek on behalf of each Fund the best
overall terms available. In assessing
the best overall terms available for any
transaction, the Sub-Adviser shall
consider all factors that it deems
relevant, including the breadth of the
market in the security, the price of the
security, the financial condition and
execution capability of the broker or
dealer, and the reasonableness of the
commission, if any, both for the
specific transaction and on a continuing
basis. In evaluating the best overall
terms available, and in selecting the
broker-dealer to execute a particular
transaction, the Sub-Adviser may also
consider the brokerage and research
services provided (as those terms are
defined in Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act)). Consistent with any
guidelines established by the Board of
Trustees of the Trust and
Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act, the
Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay to a
broker or dealer who provides such
brokerage and research services a
commission for executing a portfolio
transaction for a Fund which is in
excess of the amount of commission
another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction
if, but only if, the Sub-Adviser
determines in good faith that such
commission was reasonable in relation to
the value of the brokerage and research
services provided by such broker or
dealer viewed in terms of that
particular transaction or in terms of
the overall responsibilities of the Sub-
Adviser to its discretionary clients,
including a Fund. In addition, the Sub-
Adviser is authorized to allocate
purchase and sale orders for securities
to brokers or dealers (including brokers
and dealers that are affiliated with the
Adviser, Sub-Adviser or the Trusts
principal underwriter) if the Sub-
Adviser believes that the quality of the
transaction and the commission are
comparable to what they would be with
other qualified firms. In no instance,
however, will a Funds Assets be
purchased from or sold to the Adviser,
Sub-Adviser, the Trusts principal
underwriter, or any affiliated person of
either the Trust, Adviser, the Sub-
Adviser or the principal underwriter,
acting as principal in the transaction,
except to the extent permitted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
and the 1940 Act.
(d) The Sub-Adviser shall maintain all
books and records with respect to
transactions involving the Assets
required by subparagraphs (b)(5), (6),
(7), (9), (10) and (11) and paragraph
(f) of Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act.
The Sub-Adviser shall keep the books and
records relating to the Assets required
to be maintained by the Sub-Adviser
under this Agreement and shall timely
furnish to the Adviser all information
relating to the Sub-Advisers services
under this Agreement needed by the
Adviser to keep the other books and
records of a Fund required by Rule 31a-1
under the 1940 Act. The Sub-Adviser
agrees that all records that it
maintains on behalf of a Fund are
property of the Fund and the Sub-Adviser
will surrender promptly to a Fund any of
such records upon the Funds request;
provided, however, that the Sub-Adviser
may retain a copy of such records. In
addition, for the duration of this
Agreement, the Sub-Adviser shall
preserve for the periods prescribed by
Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act any such
records as are required to be maintained
by it pursuant to this Agreement, and
shall transfer said records to any
successor sub-adviser upon the
termination of this Agreement (or, if
there is no successor sub-adviser, to
the Adviser).
(e) The Sub-Adviser shall provide a
Funds custodian on each business day
with information relating to all
transactions concerning a Funds Assets
and shall provide the Adviser with such
information upon request of the Adviser.
(f) To the extent called for by the
Trusts Compliance Policies and
Procedures, or as reasonably requested
by a Fund, the Sub-Adviser shall provide
the Fund with information and advice
regarding Assets to assist the Fund in
determining the appropriate valuation of
such Assets.
(g) The investment management services
provided by the Sub-Adviser under this
Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive
and the Sub-Adviser shall be free to
render similar services to others, as
long as such services do not impair the
services rendered to the Adviser or the
Trust.
(h) The Sub-Adviser shall promptly
notify the Adviser of any financial
condition that is reasonably likely to
impair the Sub-Advisers ability to
fulfill its commitment under this
Agreement.
(i) Except under the
circumstances set forth in
subsection (ii), the Sub-Adviser
shall not be responsible for
reviewing proxy solicitation
materials or voting and handling
proxies in relation to the
securities held as Assets in a
Fund. If the Sub-Adviser receives
a misdirected proxy, it shall
promptly forward such misdirected
proxy to the Adviser.
(ii) The Sub-Adviser hereby
agrees that upon 60 days written
notice from the Adviser, the Sub-
Adviser shall assume
responsibility for reviewing proxy
solicitation materials and voting
proxies in relation to the
securities held as Assets in a
Fund. As of the time the Sub-
Adviser shall assume such
responsibilities with respect to
proxies under this sub-section
(ii), the Adviser shall instruct
the custodian and other parties
providing services to a Fund to
promptly forward misdirected
proxies to the Sub-Adviser.
(j) In performance of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement, the
Sub-Adviser shall not consult with any
other sub-adviser to a Fund or a sub-
adviser to a portfolio that is under
common control with a Fund concerning
the Assets, except as permitted by the
policies and procedures of a Fund. The
Sub-Adviser shall not provide investment
advice to any assets of a Fund other
than the Assets.
(k) On occasions when the Sub-Adviser
deems the purchase or sale of a security
to be in the best interest of a Fund as
well as other clients of the Sub-
Adviser, the Sub-Adviser may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law and
regulations, aggregate the order for
securities to be sold or purchased. In
such event, the Sub-Adviser will
allocate securities so purchased or
sold, as well as the expenses incurred
in the transaction, in a manner the Sub-
Adviser reasonably considers to be
equitable and consistent with its
fiduciary obligations to a Fund and to
such other clients under the
circumstances.
(l) The Sub-Adviser shall provide to
the Adviser or the Board of Trustees
such periodic and special reports,
balance sheets or financial information,
and such other information with regard
to its affairs as the Adviser or Board
of Trustees may reasonably request. The
Sub-Adviser shall also furnish to the
Adviser any other information relating
to the Assets that is required to be
filed by the Adviser or the Trust with
the SEC or sent to shareholders under
the 1940 Act (including the
rules adopted thereunder) or any
exemptive or other relief that the
Adviser or the Trust obtains from the
SEC.
To the extent permitted by law, the services
to be furnished by the Sub-Adviser under this
Agreement may be furnished through the medium
of any of the Sub-Advisers partners, officers,
employees or control affiliates; provided,
however, that the use of such mediums does not
relieve the Sub-Adviser from any obligation or
duty under this Agreement.
2. Duties of the Adviser. The Adviser
shall continue to have responsibility for all
services to be provided to each Fund pursuant
to the Advisory Agreement and shall oversee
and review the Sub-Advisers performance of its
duties under this Agreement; provided,
however, that in connection with its
management of the Assets, nothing herein shall
be construed to relieve the Sub-Adviser of
responsibility for compliance with the Trusts
Declaration of Trust (as defined herein),
Prospectus, Compliance Policies and
Procedures, the instructions and directions of
the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the
requirements of the 1940 Act, the Code, and
all other applicable federal and state laws
and regulations, as each is amended from time
to time.
3. Delivery of Documents. The Adviser has
furnished the Sub-Adviser with copies of each
of the following documents:
(a) The Trusts Agreement and
Declaration of Trust, as filed with the
Secretary of State of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts (such Agreement and
Declaration of Trust, as in effect on
the date of this Agreement and as
amended from time to time, herein called
the Declaration of Trust);
(b) By-Laws of the Trust (such By-
Laws, as in effect on the date of this
Agreement and as amended from time to
time, are herein called the By-Laws);
and
(c) Prospectus of each Fund.
4. Compensation to the Sub-Adviser. For
the services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser
pursuant to this Agreement, the Adviser will
pay the Sub-Adviser, and the Sub-Adviser
agrees to accept as full compensation
therefor, a sub-advisory fee at the rate
specified in Schedule B which is attached
hereto and made part of this Agreement.
[SENTENCE REDACTED]. For the avoidance of
doubt, notwithstanding the fact that the
Agreement has not been terminated, no fee will
be accrued under this Agreement with respect
to any day that the value of the Assets under
the Sub-Advisers management equals zero.
Except as may otherwise be prohibited by law
or regulation (including any then current SEC
staff interpretation), the Sub-Adviser may, in
its discretion and from time to time, waive a
portion of its fee.
5. Indemnification. The Sub-Adviser shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Adviser from
and against any and all claims, losses,
liabilities or damages (including reasonable
attorneys fees and other related expenses)
howsoever arising from or in connection with
the performance of the Sub-Advisers
obligations under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Sub-Advisers obligation
under this Paragraph 5 shall be reduced to the
extent that the claim against, or the loss,
liability or damage experienced by the
Adviser, is caused by or is otherwise directly
related to the Advisers own willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence, or to
the reckless disregard of its duties under
this Agreement.
The Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless
the Sub-Adviser from and against any and all
claims, losses, liabilities or damages
(including reasonable attorneys fees and other
related expenses) howsoever arising from or in
connection with the performance of the
Advisers obligations under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Advisers
obligation under this Paragraph 5 shall be
reduced to the extent that the claim against,
or the loss, liability or damage experienced
by the Sub-Adviser, is caused by or is
otherwise directly related to the Sub-Advisers
own willful misfeasance, bad faith or
negligence, or to the reckless disregard of
its duties under this Agreement.
6. Duration and Termination. This
Agreement shall become effective upon approval
by the Trusts Board of Trustees and its
execution by the parties hereto. Pursuant to
the exemptive relief obtained in the SEC Order
dated April 29, 1996, Investment Company Act
Release No. 21921, approval of the Agreement
by a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of a Fund is not required, and the
Sub-Adviser acknowledges that it and any other
sub-adviser so selected and approved shall be
without the protection (if any) accorded by
shareholder approval of an investment advisers
receipt of compensation under Section 36(b) of
the 1940 Act.
This Agreement shall continue in effect for a
period of more than two years from the date
hereof only so long as continuance is
specifically approved at least annually in
conformance with the 1940 Act; provided,
however, that this Agreement may be terminated
with respect to a Fund (a) by the Fund at any
time, without the payment of any penalty, by
the vote of a majority of Trustees of the
Trust or by the vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Fund,
(b) by the Adviser at any time, without the
payment of any penalty, on not more than 60
days nor less than 30 days written notice to
the Sub-Adviser, or (c) by the Sub-Adviser at
any time, without the payment of any penalty,
on 90 days written notice to the Adviser.
This Agreement shall terminate automatically
and immediately in the event of its
assignment, or in the event of a termination
of the Advisory Agreement with the Trust. As
used in this Paragraph 6, the terms assignment
and vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities shall have the respective
meanings set forth in the 1940 Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder, subject to
such exceptions as may be granted by the SEC
under the 1940 Act.
7. Compliance Program of the Sub-Adviser.

(ii) a report of any material

12. Noncompete Provisions.
(a) The Sub-Adviser hereby agrees that,
the Sub-Adviser will:

noncompete agreement or other
agreement or arrangement to which

of a Schedule executed subsequent to the date
first indicated above, provisions of such
Schedule shall be deemed to be incorporated

is on file with the Secretary of State
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
and notice is hereby given that the
obligations of this instrument are not

the Trust.
(b) Where the effect of a requirement
of the 1940 Act or Advisers Act
reflected in any provision of this
Agreement is altered by a rule,
regulation or order of the SEC, whether
of special or general application, such
provision shall be deemed to incorporate
the effect of such rule, regulation or
order.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have
caused this Agreement to be executed by their
officers designated below as of the day and year
first written above.

Managed Trust,
SEI Tax Exempt Trust, SEI Institutional Managed
Trust and
SEI Institutional International Trust:
We have examined the Interfund Lending Teams
(defined as representative employees of SEI
Investments Global Funds Services, SEI Investments
Management Corporation and other SEI personnel
(collectively, SEI)) compliance with the conditions
as required by Investment Company Act Release No.
26762 dated February 17, 2005, together with
Securities and Exchange Commission Release Number
IC-26783 dated March 15, 2005, (collectively,
hereinafter referred to as the Exemptive Order)
which permits the series of SEI Daily Income Trust,
SEI Asset Allocation Trust, SEI Institutional
Investments Trust, SEI Alpha Strategy Portfolios,
LP, SEI Liquid Asset Trust, Adviser Managed Trust,
SEI Tax Exempt Trust, SEI Institutional Managed
Trust and SEI Institutional International Trust
(collectively, the SEI Funds) to participate in a
credit facility (the Credit Facility) whereby each
of the SEI Funds may directly lend to, and each of
the SEI Funds may directly borrow from the other SEI
Funds for temporary purposes provided that the loans
are made in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Exemptive Order during the period June 1,
2010 through June 30, 2011. The Interfund Lending
Team is responsible for compliance with the
requirements of the Exemptive Order. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Interfund Lending Teams compliance based on our
examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with
attestation standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants and,
accordingly, included examining, on a test basis,
evidence about the Interfund Lending Teams
compliance with the requirements of the Exemptive
Order and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our examination provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion. Our examination does not
provide a legal determination on the Interfund
Lending Teams compliance with specified
requirements.
Our examination disclosed the following material
noncompliance, which the Interfund Lending Team
informed us of, related to one of the conditions of
the Exemptive Order during the period June 1, 2010
through June 30, 2011. The Exemptive Order requires
that the Interfund Lending Team have an independent
public accountant for two years following the
commencement of the Credit Facility examine the
Interfund Lending Teams assertion that it has
established procedures reasonably designed to
achieve compliance with the conditions of the
Exemptive Order and file a written report of the
results of such examination with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to Item 77Q3 of Form N-
SAR, as amended. The Interfund Lending Team did not
have an independent public accountant examine this
assertion for the period from April 1, 2009
(commencement of the Credit Facility) through May
31, 2010.
In our opinion, except for the material
noncompliance described in the third paragraph, the
Interfund Lending Team complied, in all material
respects, with the aforementioned requirements in
the Exemptive Order for the period June 1, 2010
through June 30, 2011.
This report is intended solely for the information
and use of SEI management and the Board of
Trustees/Directors of the SEI Funds and the
Securities and Exchange Commission and is not
intended to be and should not be used by anyone
other than these specified parties.
