SEI Investments Canada Company announces termination of Nordea International Equity Fund
TORONTO, July 18, 2014 /CNW/ - SEI Investments Canada Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (NASDAQ: SEIC) and manager of the SEI Canada mutual funds, announced today its intention to terminate Nordea International Equity Fund ("the Fund") on or about September 16, 2014. Effective at the close of business July 18, 2014, units of the Fund will no longer be available for purchase by new and existing unitholders.
The decision to terminate the Fund was driven by a decline in assets which make it difficult to efficiently manage the Fund in accordance with its intended investment objective.
In accordance with securities legislation, a notice will be sent to unitholders of the Fund no less than 60 days prior to the effective date of the termination. Following this notice date, the Fund will begin liquidating its portfolio investments and may no longer be fully invested in accordance with the stated investment objective outlined in the Simplified Prospectus.
Existing unitholders of the Fund have the option to redeem their investments on or prior to the termination date. All units not redeemed prior to the Fund's closure will be automatically redeemed at that time.
If required, a final distribution will occur on or before September 16, 2014.
SEI encourages all unitholders to consult with their financial advisors to understand the financial and tax implications associated with redeeming their units of the Fund and to determine the solution that best fits their investment needs.
