Statements
How often will I receive statements?
By default, statements are sent quarterly. If you prefer monthly statements, please contact our office at 405-842-3443 to request a change form.
When can I expect my first statement after becoming a client?
Monthly Statements: The first monthly statement will be available online around the 5th business day of the following month in which the account was established. Paper statements are mailed around the 10th business day of each month.
Quarterly Statements: The quarterly statements usually run about 15 days after the end of the quarter because they contain performance data. March, June, September, and December statements will be mailed around the third week of the following month.
Paper statements are mailed approximately 5 days following online availability.
How do I receive my statements electronically instead of receiving paper?
Within the SEI-Connect portal:
- Click on Profile

- Check the box for Statements

What if I have an Employer Plan Rollover?
There are four options to review before making any decisions regarding your former employer retirement plan.
- If the former employer allows, the account can remain as it is.
- If you have changed employers and the new employer agrees, the account can be rolled into your new employer retirement plan.
- The account can be cashed out. There can be penalties, fees, and taxes affiliated with the transaction. It is recommended that you speak with one of our CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professionals to discuss the ramifications.
- After a meeting with one of our advisors and upon the recommendation of the advisor, the account can be rolled into an IRA with our firm.
Please contact our office at 405-842-3443 for additional information including specific transfer/rollover information.
Tax Information
When will I receive my tax reports?
To eliminate confusion and reduce the number of amended tax filings that can arise from corrected tax forms, SEI Private Trust Company (SEI) and National Advisors Trust Company (NATCo) will take advantage of IRS regulations that allow for an extension on the mailing of 1099 tax forms. As a result of The Energy Improvement and Extension Act, the 1099 reporting deadline for money managers has been extended to February 15th, in turn allowing managers to postmark the 1099-Composite forms no later than March 15th.
However, we expect tax forms to be postmarked as follows:
- Form 1099-R (for distributions from IRAs, pensions, annuities, retirement and profit-sharing plans) will have an earlier postmark date of February 1st
- 1099-Composite Forms: 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-OID, 1099-B, and 1099-MISC. The extension covers the following 1099 series forms: 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions; 1099-INT, Interest Income; 1099-OID, Original Issue Discount; 1099-B, Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions; and 1099-MISC, Royalty Income. SEI hopes to beat the March 15th deadline and expects to postmark its forms no later than the last day of February.
What are the annual IRA contribution limits?
IRA contributions may change each year. To find the latest information click here: Annual IRA Contribution Limits
Required Minimum Distributions (RMD)
What is a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)?
When do I have to start taking RMDs?
How does an RMD affect my taxes?
Your withdrawals will be included in your taxable income, except for any part that has been previously taxed (your basis) or that can be received tax-free (such as qualified distributions from designated Roth accounts).
For more information about RMDs please visit the IRS information page: IRS RMD Information
Beneficiary Information
What is a beneficiary and how do I select them?
A beneficiary is a person or organization (non-profit or charity) you name in certain legal documents to receive all or some of your assets (money and other items you own) when you pass away. You can list more than one beneficiary and also list contingent beneficiaries and you do not have to choose a relative. Here are some examples of beneficiaries:
- A person (or multiple people)
- The trustee of a trust you’ve set up
- A charity or nonprofit
- A minor (child under 18 years of age)
