INTERNATIONAL FIXED INCOME FUND

On November 7, 2002, the shareholders of the International Fixed Income Fund
(the "Fund") of SEI Institutional International Trust (the "Trust") approved:
(i) the operation of the Fund under a "manager of managers" structure, which
allows the Board of Trustees, to appoint additional and replacement investment
sub-advisers for the Fund WITHOUT obtaining shareholder approval; and (ii) the
appointment of SEI Investments Management Corporation ("SIMC") as the Fund's
investment adviser and "manager of managers." As of December 18, 2002, SIMC
became the Fund's investment adviser and "manager of managers." Prior to that
date, SIMC served as the Fund's "interim" investment adviser.

Pursuant to the "manager of managers" structure, the Board of Trustees approved
Fischer Francis Trees and Watts, Inc. and its affiliates Fischer Francis Trees &
Watts (Singapore) Pte Ltd, Fischer Francis Trees & Watts and Fischer Francis
Trees & Watts Kabushiki Kaisha (collectivley, "FFTW") as investment sub-advisers
to the Fund. FFTW became the Fund's investment sub-adviser as of December 18,
2002. Prior to that date, FFTW served as the Fund's "interim" investment
sub-adviser.

In connection with the approval of the "manager of managers" structure for the
Fund and the approval of SIMC as the Fund's investment adviser and "manager of
managers," the section entitled "Investment Advisers and Sub-Advisers" is
amended by deleting the third paragraph on page 15 and adding the following:

    SEI INVESTMENTS MANAGEMENT CORPORATION (SIMC) ACTS AS THE MANAGER OF
    MANAGERS OF THE FUNDS, AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INVESTMENT
    PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS SINCE IT ALLOCATES EACH FUND'S ASSETS TO ONE
    OR MORE SUB-ADVISERS AND RECOMMENDS HIRING AND CHANGING SUB-ADVISERS
    TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
