Open-End Mutual Fund Provides Access to TSW's Long-Tenured International Equity Strategy Through SEI's Turnkey Fund Infrastructure
OAKS, Pa., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SEI® (NASDAQ: SEIC) today announced that Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley (TSW) has selected the Advisors' Inner Circle Fund® (AIC) platform to launch its new open-end mutual fund, the TSW International Equity Fund (TSWWX), on Nov. 4, 2026. The fund will provide investors with access to TSW's long-established relative-value approach to international equity investing across developed non-U.S. markets.
The fund, which also utilizes SEI's SEC-registered transfer agency, marks TSW's return to the AIC platform and re-establishes the firm's international equity strategy in a standalone mutual fund.
Through the AIC platform, SEI provides fund governance, administration, transfer agency, distribution support, and related operational services required to launch and maintain registered investment products. This operating model allows TSW to focus on managing investments and serving clients while SEI supports the fund's operational and regulatory framework.
Frank Natale, Managing Director at TSW, said:
"The launch of our TSW International Equity Fund marks an important milestone in expanding access to our international equity strategy. For more than two decades, TSW's International Equity team has successfully managed the strategy using a disciplined relative value approach. The mutual fund structure makes the strategy more accessible and easier to implement across portfolios and investment platforms, while offering existing clients additional flexibility beyond separate accounts. We are equally excited to continue our longstanding partnership with SEI, whose established operational platform and deep fund management expertise provide a strong foundation for the fund."
Sean Lawlor, Head of Public Markets for SEI's Investment Managers business, added:
"As managers navigate growing regulatory, operational, and distribution complexity, the ability to bring differentiated strategies to market with scale and flexibility has never been more important. TSW's return to the Advisors' Inner Circle platform reflects both the strength of our long-standing relationship and the value of a proven operating model designed to support managers as their businesses evolve. By bringing together the infrastructure, governance, and specialized fund expertise required to support a registered product, we're helping TSW bring this strategy to market efficiently while remaining focused on investment management and client engagement. We're proud to support this launch and TSW's next phase of growth."
Today, the AIC supports 44 clients and 127 funds1. SEI helped pioneer the series trust concept more than 30 years ago with an institutional-quality turnkey mutual fund operating platform. Today, the platform enables investment organizations to rapidly launch and grow mutual funds, ETFs, and interval and tender offer funds without having to build their own fund operating infrastructure. The platform is designed for asset managers seeking a more cost-effective way to operate their existing funds.
