Re: Response
letter to comments on Post-Effective Amendment No. 92 to the Registration Statement of SEI Daily Income Trust (File Nos. 002-77048
and 811-03451)
Dear Mr. Williams:
On behalf of our
client, SEI Daily Income Trust (the “Trust” or “SDIT”), this letter responds to the comments and questions you
provided via telephone on December 9, 2022, regarding the Trust’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 92, under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Amendment No. 91, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the “1940 Act”), to its Registration Statement filed with the SEC on October 28, 2022 pursuant to Rule 485(a)(1) under
the 1933 Act (the “Amendment”), for the purpose of introducing a new share class of the Government Fund (the “Fund”),
a series of the Trust. As indicated in the Amendment, SEI Investments Management Corporation (“SIMC” or the “Adviser”)
serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Below, we have briefly summarized your comments and questions, followed by our responses. Capitalized
terms not defined herein should be given the meaning provided in the Amendment.
1. Comment. The
Staff notes that when a comment is made in one location, it is applicable to all similar
disclosure appearing elsewhere in the registration statement.
Response. Acknowledged.
2. Comment. Please
update the ticker symbols on Edgar once available.
Response. The
Trust confirms that ticker symbols will be updated on Edgar once available.
3. Comment. Please
update the Fund’s “Interest Rate Risk” disclosure, taking into consideration
current market conditions.
Response. The
requested change has been made.
4. Comment. Please
revise the Item 4(b)(1)(ii)(B) disclosure to more closely align with the requirements
of Form N-1A.
Response.
The
requested change has been made.
5. Comment. Please
revise the first full paragraph in the “Performance Information” section to disclose
that, because Sweep Class shares have higher expenses than Class F shares, performance
for Sweep Class shares would have been lower than that of Class F shares.
Response. The
requested change has been made.
6. Comment. In
the third paragraph in the “More Information About Investments” section, please
specifically identify “government securities,” rather than “the types of
securities described in this prospectus.”
Response. The
requested change has been made.
7. Comment. In
the “Financial Highlights” section, please include the financial highlights of
at least one existing share class of the Fund.
Response. The
requested change has been made.
8. Comment. With
respect to the second item in the “Non-Fundamental Policies” section of the SAI,
please confirm whether the reference to “domestic banks and U.S. branches of foreign
banks” should be limited to the deposit instruments of such entities and, if so, please
revise accordingly.
Response. The
Trust expects to revise this Non-Fundamental Policy, subject to Board approval at its next
regularly scheduled meeting on January 25, 2023, to clarify that the limitation does
not apply to “certificates of deposit, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances or similar instruments
issued or guaranteed by” such banks and bank branches.
9. Comment. In
the “Senior Securities” section of the SAI, please delete “with appropriate
earmarking or segregation of assets to cover such obligation, to the extent applicable.”
Response. The
requested change has been made.
If
you have any questions, need any additional information or would like any clarification, please contact me at (215) 963-5266.
Very
truly yours,
/s/
