returns are shown from December 31, 1989.The Fund incurred AFFE during the most recent fiscal year, and therefore the operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund's financial statements (or the "Financial Highlights" section in the prospectus). The financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund, not the indirect costs of investing in underlying funds.Renewed as of January 31, 2016, SIMC, the Fund's investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive its management fee as necessary to keep the management fee paid by the Fund during its fiscal year from exceeding 0.95%. This fee waiver agreement shall remain in effect until January 31, 2017 and, unless earlier terminated, shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods thereafter. The agreement may be amended or terminated only with the consent of the Board of Trustees.Index returns are shown from January 31, 1995.Index returns are shown from September 30, 1993.Index returns are shown from June 30, 1997.The Blended Benchmark Return for the "Since Inception" period is not provided because returns for the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Index Return are not available prior to 2003.The Fund's Class Y Shares commenced operations on December 31, 2014. For periods prior to December 31, 2014, the performance of the Fund's Class A Shares has been used. Returns for Class Y Shares would have been substantially similar to those of Class A Shares and would have differed only to the extent that Class Y Shares have lower total annual fund operating expenses than Class A Shares.The Fund's Class Y Shares commenced operations on October 30, 2015, and therefore do not have performance history for a full calendar year. This table compares the Fund's Class A Shares' average annual total returns for the period ended December 31, 2015 to those of an appropriate broad-based index. Returns for Class Y Shares would have been substantially similar to those of Class A Shares and would have differed only to the extent that Class Y Shares have lower total annual fund operating expenses than Class A Shares.SEI INSTITUTIONAL INTERNATIONAL TRUST485BPOSfalse00008355972015-09-302016-01-282016-01-312016-01-31SIT INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUNDSEITXPrincipal Investment Strategies<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">Under normal circumstances, the International Equity Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities.

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.

Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Depositary Receipts Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market.

Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market 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 OTC forward contracts is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly.

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.

In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded OTC or listed on an exchange.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Warrants Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time.

Investments in P-Notes involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies of foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate. However, there can be no assurance that the trading price of P-Notes will equal the underlying value of the foreign companies or foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Small and Medium Capitalization Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that small and medium capitalization companies in which the Fund invests may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded over the counter or listed on an exchange.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Warrants Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Warrants may be more speculative than other types of investments. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times;"><b><i>Investing in the Fund involves risk, and there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal.

The Fund will invest primarily in investment grade foreign government and corporate fixed income securities, as well as foreign mortgage-backed and/or asset-backed fixed income securities, of issuers located in at least three countries other than the U.S. It is expected that at least 40% of the Fund's assets will be </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">invested in non-U.S. securities. Other fixed income securities in which the Fund may invest include: (i) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities and obligations of U.S. commercial banks, such as certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers' acceptances and bank notes; and (ii) U.S. corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying upon a number of sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) with differing investment philosophies to manage portions of the Fund's portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), the Fund's adviser. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Sub-Advisers choose securities issued by corporations and governments located in various countries, looking for opportunities to achieve capital appreciation and gain, as well as current income. There are no restrictions on the Fund's average portfolio maturity or on the maturity of any specific security.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Sub-Advisers may seek to enhance the Fund's return by actively managing the Fund's foreign currency exposure. In managing the Fund's currency exposure, the Sub-Advisers buy and sell currencies (i.e., take long or short positions) using derivatives, principally futures, foreign currency forward contracts and currency swaps. The Fund may take long and short positions in foreign currencies in excess of the value of the Fund's assets denominated in a particular currency or when the Fund does not own assets denominated in that currency. The Fund may also engage in currency transactions in an attempt to take advantage of certain inefficiencies in the currency exchange market, to increase its exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one currency to another. In managing the Fund's currency exposure from foreign securities, the Sub-Advisers may buy and sell currencies for hedging or for speculative purposes.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may also invest in futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps for speculative or hedging purposes. Futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps are used to synthetically obtain exposure to the securities identified above or baskets of such 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund will also invest in securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds). However, in general, the Fund will purchase bonds with a rating of CCC or above. The Fund also invests a portion of its assets in bank loans, which are generally non-investment grade floating rate instruments. The Fund may invest in bank loans in the form of participations in the loans (participations) and assignments of all or a portion of the loans from third parties (assignments).</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities or other instruments directly.</font></p>Fees and Expenses<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Fund shares.</font></p>0.00300.00000.00770.0107~ http://sei.com/20160128/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpenses20013 column dei_DocumentInformationDocumentAxis compact ck0000835597_doc_Class_A_ProspectusMember column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0000835597_S000006419Member row primary compact * ~ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)EXAMPLE<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.

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 annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 78% of the average value of its portfolio.</font></p>0.78Principal Risks<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Asset-Backed Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the Fund acquires.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Bank Loans Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — With respect to bank loans, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. The Fund may also have difficulty disposing of bank loans because, in certain cases, the market for such instruments is not highly liquid.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Credit Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Currency Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — As a result of the Fund's investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies and the Fund's active management of its currency exposures, the Fund will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected. Due to the Fund's active positions in currencies, it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Derivatives Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund's use of swaps, futures and forward contracts is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market 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 swaps and OTC forward contracts is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of the above risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Duration Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Exchange-Traded Funds Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Extension Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security's value.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Fixed Income Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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. 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. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar. 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Interest Rate Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that a rise in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities, in which the Fund invests. 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. A low interest rate environment may present greater interest rate risk, because there may be a greater likelihood of rates increasing and rates may increase more rapidly.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Investment Style Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that developed international fixed income securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income markets or the fixed income markets as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Leverage Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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 </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Liquidity Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage-backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the Fund's actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the Fund's expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancings and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the Fund.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Non-Diversified Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Prepayment Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>U.S. Government Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times;"><b><i>Investing in the Fund involves risk, and there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal.

The Fund will invest in debt securities of government, government-related and corporate issuers in emerging market countries, as well as entities organized to restructure the outstanding debt of such issuers. The Fund may obtain its exposures by investing directly (e.g., in fixed income securities and other instruments) or indirectly/synthetically (e.g., through the use of derivative instruments, </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">principally futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps and structured securities, such as credit-linked notes). The Fund may invest in swaps based on a single security or an index of securities, including interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, currency swaps and fully-funded total return swaps. Emerging market countries are those countries that are: (i) characterized as developing or emerging by any of the World Bank, the United Nations, the International Finance Corporation, or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; (ii) included in an emerging markets index by a recognized index provider; or (iii) countries with similar developing or emerging characteristics as countries classified as emerging market countries pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) and (ii) above, in each case determined at the time of purchase.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying upon a number of sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) with differing investment philosophies to manage portions of the Fund's portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), the Fund's adviser. The Sub-Advisers will spread the Fund's holdings across a number of countries and industries to limit its exposure to any single emerging market economy and may not invest more than 25% of its assets in any single country. There are no restrictions on the Fund's average portfolio maturity or on the maturity of any specific security. There is no minimum rating standard for the Fund's securities, and the Fund's securities will generally be in the lower or lowest rating categories (including those below the fourth highest rating category by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO), commonly referred to as junk bonds).</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Sub-Advisers may seek to enhance the Fund's return by actively managing the Fund's foreign currency exposure. In managing the Fund's currency exposure, the Sub-Advisers buy and sell currencies (i.e., take long or short positions) using derivatives, principally futures, foreign currency forward contracts and currency swaps. The Fund may take long and short positions in foreign currencies in excess of the value of the Fund's assets denominated in a particular currency or when the Fund does not own assets denominated in that currency. The Fund may also engage in currency transactions in an attempt to take advantage of certain inefficiencies in the currency exchange market, to increase its exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one currency to another. In managing the Fund's currency exposure from foreign securities, the Sub-Advisers may buy and sell currencies for hedging or for speculative purposes.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may also invest in futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps for speculative or hedging purposes. Futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps are used to synthetically obtain exposure to the securities identified above or baskets of such 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities or other instruments directly.</font></p>Fees and Expenses<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Fund shares.</font></p>0.00850.00000.00760.0161~ http://sei.com/20160128/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpenses20019 column dei_DocumentInformationDocumentAxis compact ck0000835597_doc_Class_A_ProspectusMember column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0000835597_S000006421Member row primary compact * ~ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)EXAMPLE<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

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 annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 71% of the average value of its portfolio.</font></p>0.71Principal Risks<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Credit Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Currency Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — As a result of the Fund's investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies and the Fund's active management of its currency exposures, the Fund will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected. Due to the Fund's active positions in currencies, it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Derivatives Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund's use of futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps and credit-linked notes is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market 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 OTC forward contracts, credit-linked notes and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of the above 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. Recent legislation calls for new regulation of the derivatives markets. The extent and impact of the regulation are not yet fully known and may not be for some time. New regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, may limit their availability or may otherwise adversely affect their value or performance.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Duration Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Exchange-Traded Funds Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Extension Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security's value.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Fixed Income Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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. 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. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar. 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risks that (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Interest Rate Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that a rise in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities in which the Fund invests. A low interest rate environment may present greater interest rate risk, because there may be a greater likelihood of rates increasing and rates may increase more rapidly.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Investment Style Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that emerging market debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income markets or the fixed income markets as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Leverage Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Liquidity Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stock, warrants, participation notes and depositary receipts. The Fund will invest primarily in equity securities of issuers of all capitalization ranges that are located in at least three countries other than the U.S. It is expected that at least 40% of the Fund's assets will be invested outside the U.S. The Fund will invest primarily in companies located in developed countries, </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">but may also invest in companies located in emerging markets. Generally, the Fund will invest less than 20% of its assets in emerging markets. Emerging market countries are those countries that are: (i) characterized as developing or emerging by any of the World Bank, the United Nations, the International Finance Corporation, or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; (ii) included in an emerging markets index by a recognized index provider; or (iii) countries with similar developing or emerging characteristics as countries classified as emerging market countries pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) and (ii) above, in each case determined at the time of purchase.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying upon a number of sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) with differing investment philosophies to manage portions of the Fund's portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), the Fund's adviser.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may invest in futures contracts, forward contracts and options for hedging purposes, including seeking to manage the Fund's currency exposure to foreign securities and mitigate the Fund's overall risk.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities or other instruments directly.</font></p>Fees and Expenses<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Fund shares.</font></p>0.00510.00000.00980.0149~ http://sei.com/20160128/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpenses20025 column dei_DocumentInformationDocumentAxis compact ck0000835597_doc_Class_I_ProspectusMember column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0000835597_S000006418Member row primary compact * ~ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)EXAMPLE<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

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 annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 68% of the average value of its portfolio.</font></p>0.68Principal Risks<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Credit Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Currency Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — As a result of the Fund's investments in securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies, the Fund will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Depositary Receipts Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Derivatives Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund's use of futures contracts, forward contracts and options is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market 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 OTC forward contracts is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of the above risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Equity Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Exchange-Traded Funds Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Investment Style Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that developed international equity securities may underperform other segments of the equity markets or the equity markets as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Leverage Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Liquidity Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Participation Notes (P-Notes) Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — P-Notes are participation interest notes that are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying equity, debt, currency or market. Investments in P-Notes involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies of foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate. However, there can be no assurance that the trading price of P-Notes will equal the underlying value of the foreign companies or foreign securities markets that they seek to replicate.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Small and Medium Capitalization Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that small and medium capitalization companies in which the Fund invests may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, small and medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small capitalization and medium capitalization stocks may be traded OTC or listed on an exchange.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Warrants Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Warrants are instruments that entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Warrants may be more speculative than other types of investments. </font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stock, warrants, participation notes and depositary receipts. The Fund normally maintains investments in at least six emerging market countries and does not invest more than 35% of its total assets in any one emerging market country. Emerging market countries are those countries that are: (i) characterized as developing or emerging by any of the World Bank, the United Nations, the International Finance Corporation, or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; (ii) included in an emerging markets index by a recognized index provider; or (iii) countries with similar developing or emerging characteristics as countries classified as emerging market countries pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) and (ii) above, in each case determined at the time of purchase.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying upon a number of sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) with differing investment philosophies to manage portions of the Fund's portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), the Fund's adviser.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may invest in swaps based on a single security or an index of securities, futures contracts, forward contracts and options to synthetically obtain exposure to securities or baskets of securities or for hedging purposes, including seeking to manage the Fund's currency exposure to foreign securities and mitigate the Fund's overall risk.

Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Depositary Receipts Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Derivatives Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund's use of futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market 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 OTC forward contracts and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of the above 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. Recent legislation calls for new regulation of the derivatives markets. The extent and impact of the regulation are not yet fully known and may not be for some time. New regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, may limit their availability or may otherwise adversely affect their value or performance.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Equity Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Exchange-Traded Funds Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.

Other fixed income securities in which the Fund may invest include: </font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">(i) securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities and obligations of U.S. commercial banks, such as certificates of deposit, time deposits, bankers' acceptances and bank notes; and (ii) U.S. corporate debt securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying upon a number of sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) with differing investment philosophies to manage portions of the Fund's portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), the Fund's adviser. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Sub-Advisers choose securities issued by corporations and governments located in various countries, looking for opportunities to achieve capital appreciation and gain, as well as current income. There are no restrictions on the Fund's average portfolio maturity or on the maturity of any specific security.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Sub-Advisers may seek to enhance the Fund's return by actively managing the Fund's foreign currency exposure. In managing the Fund's currency exposure, the Sub-Advisers buy and sell currencies (</font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>i.e.</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">, take long or short positions) using derivatives, principally futures, foreign currency forward contracts and currency swaps. The Fund may take long and short positions in foreign currencies in excess of the value of the Fund's assets denominated in a particular currency or when the Fund does not own assets denominated in that currency. The Fund may also engage in currency transactions in an attempt to take advantage of certain inefficiencies in the currency exchange market, to increase its exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one currency to another. In managing the Fund's currency exposure from foreign securities, the Sub-Advisers may buy and sell currencies for hedging or for speculative purposes.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may also invest in futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps for speculative or hedging purposes. Futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps are used to synthetically obtain exposure to the securities identified above or baskets of such 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund will also invest in securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds). However, in general, the Fund will purchase bonds with a rating of CCC or above. The Fund also invests a portion of its assets in bank loans, which are generally non-investment grade floating rate instruments. The Fund may invest in bank loans in the form of participations in the loans (participations) and assignments of all or a portion of the loans from third parties (assignments).</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities or other instruments directly.</font></p>Fees and Expenses<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Fund shares.</font></p>0.00300.00000.00520.0082~ http://sei.com/20160128/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpenses20043 column dei_DocumentInformationDocumentAxis compact ck0000835597_doc_Class_Y_ProspectusMember column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0000835597_S000006419Member row primary compact * ~ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)EXAMPLE<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

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 annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 78% of the average value of its portfolio.</font></p>0.78Principal Risks<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Asset-Backed Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Payment of principal and interest on asset-backed securities is dependent largely on the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities. Securitization trusts generally do not have any assets or sources of funds other than the receivables and related property they own, and asset-backed securities are generally not insured or guaranteed by the related </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">sponsor or any other entity. Asset-backed securities may be more illiquid than more conventional types of fixed-income securities that the Fund acquires.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Bank Loans Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — With respect to bank loans, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. The Fund may also have difficulty disposing of bank loans because, in certain cases, the market for such instruments is not highly liquid.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Credit Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Currency Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — As a result of the Fund's investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies and the Fund's active management of its currency exposures, the Fund will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected. Due to the Fund's active positions in currencies, it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Derivatives Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund's use of swaps, futures and forward contracts is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market 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 swaps and OTC forward contracts is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of the above risks could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested in a derivative instrument.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Duration Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Exchange-Traded Funds Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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 </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Extension Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security's value.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Fixed Income Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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. 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. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar. 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risks that: (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Interest Rate Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that a rise in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities, including U.S. Government securities, in which the Fund invests. 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. A low interest rate environment may present greater interest rate risk, because there may be a greater likelihood of rates increasing and rates may increase more rapidly.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Investment Style Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that developed international fixed income securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income markets or the fixed income markets as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Leverage Risk </i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">— 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Liquidity Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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, sell other securities instead or </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — Mortgage-backed securities are affected significantly by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans backing those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage-backed securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, which is described below, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities; however, the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted. The timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the Fund's actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-backed securities, even if the average rate of principal payments is consistent with the Fund's expectation. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-backed securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk, which is described above. In a low interest rate environment, mortgage loan prepayments would generally be expected to increase due to factors such as refinancings and loan modifications at lower interest rates. In contrast, if prevailing interest rates rise, prepayments of mortgage loans would generally be expected to decline and therefore extend the weighted average lives of mortgage-backed securities held or acquired by the Fund.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Non-Diversified Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Prepayment Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>U.S. Government Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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. Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies are backed by the U.S. Treasury, while others are backed solely by the ability of the agency to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the agency's own resources.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times;"><b><i>Investing in the Fund involves risk, and there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal.

The Fund will invest in debt securities of government, government-related and corporate issuers in emerging market countries, as well as entities organized to restructure the outstanding debt of such issuers. The Fund may obtain its exposures by investing directly (</font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>e.g.</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">, in fixed income securities and other instruments) or indirectly/synthetically (</font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>e.g.</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">, through the use of derivative instruments, </font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">principally futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps and structured securities, such as credit-linked notes). The Fund may invest in swaps based on a single security or an index of securities, including interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, currency swaps and fully-funded total return swaps. Emerging market countries are those countries that are: (i) characterized as developing or emerging by any of the World Bank, the United Nations, the International Finance Corporation, or the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; (ii) included in an emerging markets index by a recognized index provider; or (iii) countries with similar developing or emerging characteristics as countries classified as emerging market countries pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) and (ii) above, in each case determined at the time of purchase.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, relying upon a number of sub-advisers (each, a Sub-Adviser and collectively, the Sub-Advisers) with differing investment philosophies to manage portions of the Fund's portfolio under the general supervision of SEI Investments Management Corporation (SIMC), the Fund's adviser. The Sub-Advisers will spread the Fund's holdings across a number of countries and industries to limit its exposure to any single emerging market economy and may not invest more than 25% of its assets in any single country. There are no restrictions on the Fund's average portfolio maturity or on the maturity of any specific security. There is no minimum rating standard for the Fund's securities, and the Fund's securities will generally be in the lower or lowest rating categories (including those below the fourth highest rating category by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO), commonly referred to as junk bonds).</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Sub-Advisers may seek to enhance the Fund's return by actively managing the Fund's foreign currency exposure. In managing the Fund's currency exposure, the Sub-Advisers buy and sell currencies (</font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>i.e.</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">, take long or short positions) using derivatives, principally futures, foreign currency forward contracts and currency swaps. The Fund may take long and short positions in foreign currencies in excess of the value of the Fund's assets denominated in a particular currency or when the Fund does not own assets denominated in that currency. The Fund may also engage in currency transactions in an attempt to take advantage of certain inefficiencies in the currency exchange market, to increase its exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one currency to another. In managing the Fund's currency exposure from foreign securities, the Sub-Advisers may buy and sell currencies for hedging or for speculative purposes.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may also invest in futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps for speculative or hedging purposes. Futures contracts, forward contracts and swaps are used to synthetically obtain exposure to the securities identified above or baskets of such 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities or other instruments directly.</font></p>Fees and Expenses<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold Fund shares.</font></p>0.00850.00000.00510.0136~ http://sei.com/20160128/role/ScheduleAnnualFundOperatingExpenses20049 column dei_DocumentInformationDocumentAxis compact ck0000835597_doc_Class_Y_ProspectusMember column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0000835597_S000006421Member row primary compact * ~ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)EXAMPLE<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem 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.</font></p>1384317451635~ http://sei.com/20160128/role/ScheduleExpenseExampleTransposed20050 column dei_DocumentInformationDocumentAxis compact ck0000835597_doc_Class_Y_ProspectusMember column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0000835597_S000006421Member row primary compact * ~Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:PORTFOLIO TURNOVER<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">The Fund pays 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 annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 71% of the average value of its portfolio.</font></p>0.71Principal Risks<p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Below Investment Grade Securities (Junk Bonds) Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Corporate Fixed Income Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Credit Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Currency Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — As a result of the Fund's investments in securities or other investments denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies and the Fund's active management of its currency exposures, the Fund will be subject to currency risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Fund would be adversely affected. Due to the Fund's active positions in currencies, it will be subject to the risk that currency exchange rates may fluctuate in response to, among other things, changes in interest rates, intervention (or failure to intervene) by U.S. or foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities, or by the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the United States or abroad.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Derivatives Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund's use of futures contracts, forward contracts, swaps and credit-linked notes is subject to market risk, leverage risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk. Leverage risk, liquidity risk and market 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 OTC forward contracts, credit-linked notes and swap agreements is also subject to credit risk and valuation risk. Valuation risk is the risk that the derivative may be difficult to value and/or valued incorrectly. Credit risk is described above. Each of the above 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. Recent legislation calls for new regulation of the derivatives markets. The extent and impact of the regulation are not yet fully known and may not be for some time. New regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, may limit their availability or may otherwise adversely affect their value or performance.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Duration Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Exchange-Traded Funds Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Extension Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that rising interest rates may extend the duration of a fixed income security, typically reducing the security's value.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Fixed Income Market Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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. 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. In the case of foreign securities, price fluctuations will reflect international economic and political events, as well as changes in currency valuations relative to the U.S. dollar. 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Investment/Emerging Markets Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that non-U.S. securities may be subject to additional risks due to, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. These additional risks may be heightened with respect to emerging market countries because political turmoil and rapid changes in economic conditions are more likely to occur in these countries.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Foreign Sovereign Debt Securities Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risks that (i) the governmental entity that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or interest when it becomes due because of factors such as debt service burden, political constraints, cash flow problems and other national economic factors; (ii) governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments; and (iii) there is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Interest Rate Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that a rise in interest rates will cause a fall in the value of fixed income securities in which the Fund invests. A low interest rate environment may present greater interest rate risk, because there may be a greater likelihood of rates increasing and rates may increase more rapidly.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Investment Style Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The risk that emerging market debt securities may underperform other segments of the fixed income markets or the fixed income markets as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Leverage Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Liquidity Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Market Risk </i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;">— The risk that the market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, an industry, a sector or the equity or bond market as a whole.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Non-Diversified Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><i>Prepayment Risk</i></font><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"> — 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.</font></p> <br/><p align="left" style="margin:0pt 0pt 6pt 0pt;"><font style="font-size:10pt; font-family: Times New Roman PS Std, Times New Roman PS, Times New Roman, Times;"><b><i>Investing in the Fund involves risk, and there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal.

The date the document was made available and submitted, in CCYY-MM-DD format. The date of submission, date of acceptance by the recipient, and the document effective date are all potentially different.
The date when a document, upon receipt and acceptance, becomes officially effective, in CCYY-MM-DD format. Usually it is a system-assigned date time value, but it may be declared by the submitter in some cases.
The end date of the period reflected on the cover page if a periodic report. For all other reports and registration statements containing historical data, it is the date up through which that historical data is presented. If there is no historical data in the report, use the filing date. The format of the date is CCYY-MM-DD.
The type of document being provided (such as 10-K, 10-Q, 485BPOS, etc). The document type is limited to the same value as the supporting SEC submission type, or the word "Other".
