What is a Collective Investment Trust (CIT)?
  • Collective Investment Trusts (CITs) are pooled retirement investment vehicles that are available only to qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) defined contribution plans and governmental plans.
  • Consists solely of assets of retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock bonus or other tax-qualified retirement accounts and governmental plans that are exempt from federal income tax.
  • CITs are institutional products that are sold only to plan sponsors and/or plan fiduciaries for the exclusive benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries.
  • Relative to mutual funds, CITs are generally considered to be low cost. CITs are maintained or sponsored by a bank or trust company (Trustee) under the purview of the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) or a state banking regulator.
Collective Investment Trusts (CITs) are available only to qualified retirement plans, such as 401(k) defined contribution plans and governmental plans.

The information contained within this presentation is about the Nuveen/SEI Trust Company Investment Trust and the Nuveen/SEI Trust Company Investment Trust III.

Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the CIT investment objectives will be achieved. The CITs are subject to the risks and invest primarily in stocks and bonds. Large cap stocks may grow more slowly than the overall market. Growth stocks and stocks issued by smaller companies are more volatile than other stocks. Bonds lose value when the issuer is unable to make interest and principal payments when due or otherwise faces a decline in its credit quality. They experience volatility when interest rates fluctuate. Rising interest rates can cause bond prices to fall. Declining interest rates can cause bond income to fall. Non-U.S. investments involve risks including currency fluctuation, political and economic instability, and lack of liquidity and differing legal and accounting standards. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.

SEI Trust Company (the “Trustee”) serves as the Trustee of the Funds and maintains ultimate fiduciary authority over the management of, and the investments made, in the Funds. The Funds are part of Collective Investment Trusts (the “Trusts”) operated by the Trustee. The Trustee is a trust company organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (SEI).

Each CIT is part of the Trusts operated by the Trustee.
