Shareholder Letter

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

 

It is hard to overstate what a wild ride the first half of 2020 has been for both the economy and the financial markets. There is no precedent in modern times for the disruption and dislocation that has swept the globe in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a matter of months, patterns of daily life for individuals, families, schools, businesses, and society at large changed dramatically, impacting the lives of almost every person on the planet. Even saying that the U.S. economy fell into a recession—declining at an annual rate of 5.0% in the first quarter and 32.9% in the second quarter and ending the longest running expansion in the country’s history—does not begin to capture the economic pain and turmoil caused by the pandemic. Nor does saying that the unemployment rate rose as high as 14.7% in April before starting to improve in May and June or that the stock market hit a bull market high and a bear market low—all in the same month—before beginning to recover in the second quarter.

 

Despite these significant challenges, we are pleased to report that throughout the first half of the year, most of the funds in our trust helped protect our shareholders’ capital in the first quarter while allowing them to participate strongly in the dramatic market recovery in the second quarter. Our funds with a value-oriented investment approach continued to struggle as the strong momentum in growth stocks continued unabated through both of the first two quarters. The return gap between growth and value has widened even further during this period. Overall though, we are pleased with the performance of the SBH funds during this dramatic period. This performance is consistent with what we have told our fund shareholders over the years. Our investment process is designed to help our funds weather market “storms” better than their benchmarks through our disciplined approach to investing: our focus on bottom-up research; our focus on the investment merits of each stock or bond that we buy or continue to hold (or sell); and our emphasis on understanding the risks and potential upside of every holding. Yet, it is one thing to have a well-defined philosophy and approach, but another thing altogether to maintain that discipline in the face of such unprecedented circumstances.

 

As we begin the second half of the year, we have been asked (and ask ourselves), what do we think a recovery will look like? We tell clients that to form an opinion about an economic upturn or prospects for either the stock market or the bond market, we need to have some notion of when herd immunity will be achieved. Herd immunity, which is a way of saying that a sufficiently large proportion of the population is not susceptible to a virus, is thought to be achieved around 60% of the population. It can be acquired in one of three ways: (1) someone is naturally immune to the virus, (2) one contracts the disease and recovers, building antibodies into the process, or (3) a person is vaccinated, which also creates antibodies to allow the body to fight an invader. Knowing when a safe and effective vaccine is broadly available, therefore, is the key, and while we can hope, this is not an event given to economic or financial analysis.

 

What we can do, however, is to maintain our discipline and intensify our research efforts, as opportunities often arise in market dislocations of this magnitude. We will seek to identify stocks and bonds that may have risen too high or have been sold down so low as to be attractive under the worst of cases. Our analysts and portfolio managers are energized by this opportunity. For all the accolades placed on passive strategies over the last 10 years, it is times like these when accomplished active management can create real value for investors.

Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Fund

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

During the last six months, COVID-19 upended the markets. While the global economy continues to rebound, uncertainty and volatility remain a constant. For the 6-month period ending June 30, 2020, the Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned -18.49% (Retail Class) versus -23.50% for the Russell 2000® Value Index.

 

Contributors to Return

During the period, Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Financials were the largest contributors to relative performance. Hain Celestial (HAIN) was a top contributor given improved results and tailwinds from stay-at-home benefits alongside the material changes the new team has made in order to improve returns and capital allocation. Papa John’s International (PZZA) was also a top contributor during the period. The company benefited from the new management team focusing on materially better new product offerings and improved efficiencies alongside the benefit of stay-at-home behaviors due to the virus.

 

Detractors from Return

From a sector perspective, Information Technology, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary detracted from relative performance. Within Information Technology, NCR Corporation (NCR) was a top detractor as investors seemed concerned the overall exposure to restaurants and retail, though small, could be a larger risk if the economy shuts down again. Within Health Care, the largest detractor was Orthofix Medical (OFIX). This was due to the risk of elective surgeries continuing to be postponed or stopped if hospitals have to deal with COVID-19 patients. Over the long term, we remain very optimistic in OFIX under its new leadership team.

 

Outlook and Positioning

What a year it has been. It has been by far the most challenging investing environment of our careers, including 2008’s tumultuous environment. After preserving capital in the first quarter of 2020, we were able to keep up with the markets sufficiently all things considered in the second quarter, despite a strong rally from the March lows with high volatility interspersed. We believe that the second half of 2020 will likely be equally volatile as vaccine hopes and monetary exuberance are balanced with the risks of elections, fiscal support, and more insolvencies than the limited number we have witnessed thus far. Managing the volatility via our Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) approach, coupled with risk mitigation, is what we do in all environments in an attempt to be on the right side of expectations.

 

We think the remainder of the year is likely to prove at least as challenging, if not more so, as the first six months. In fact, we think much of the decade is going to be ever more volatile and in need of prudent risk managers balancing scenarios and return opportunities versus a simple “stocks just go up” approach due to the zombie-filled landscape (“zombie” companies are those with low or negative ROIC, significant debt, and/or requiring bailouts). Our hope is that capitalism is allowed to thrive, and bad capital allocators are punished if historical decisions have been too risky and return destructive. We are very grateful for your trust in us to navigate these difficult times; we know trusting in active management has been no easy task the last decade.

Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Dividend Fund

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

To say that 2020 has been an unimaginable year would be a gross understatement. The first quarter was one of the worst quarters on record, ending the longest bull market in history. The violent sell-off was a consequence of the COVID-19 virus becoming a global pandemic, resulting in the near shutdown of the domestic (and global) economy. In the second quarter, we witnessed a dramatic recovery in the markets, despite the fact that we are still in the midst of the pandemic and it is likely we will see adverse economic impacts well into the future.

 

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Dividend Fund (the “Fund”) contracted -25.36% (Retail Class) for the year-to-date period through June 30, 2020, trailing the -23.50% return of the Russell 2000® Value Index. Dividend-paying stocks, which have historically offered downside protection during market turmoil, underperformed due to the real or perceived cash flow impact on many businesses.

 

Contributors to Return

Sectors that contributed most to relative performance year-to-date were Information Technology (driven by selection), Real Estate (driven by allocation), and Utilities (driven by selection).

 

Information Technology holding, TTEC Holdings, Inc. (TTEC), was another top performer related to their ability to implement at-home and other virtual technologies necessary to maintain client business continuity related to work from home. QTS Realty Trust (QTS), a data center REIT, was another top contributor year to date. With healthy trends, solid backlog, and ample funding available for growth, we remain constructive on the stock.

 

Detractors from Return

Sectors that detracted the most from the Fund’s performance year-to-date were Energy (driven by allocation), Consumer Discretionary (driven by selection), and Consumer Staples (driven by allocation).

 

On an individual stock basis, Energy holding Enerplus Corporation (ERF), an oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) company, underperformed its peers. Solvency of many E&P energy companies began to be questioned. Financials holding Redwood Trust, Inc. (RWT), an originator and distributor of high quality, non-standard mortgages, was another top detractor. While we expected the quality of their underwriting and relatively conservative balance sheet management to support them through the economic slowdown, significant and rapid disruptions in the fixed income funding markets resulted in the sudden and unexpected forced selling of assets and we exited the position.

 

As was announced on July 23, 2020, the Fund’s Board of Trustees voted to merge the Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Dividend Fund into the Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Fund on or about September 25, 2020. Please see the Manager Commentary for the Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Fund in this report for details about that fund.

Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Growth Fund

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

The longest economic expansion on record came to a sudden, tragic halt with the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the first quarter of 2020. As the global economy hit the stop button, market participants rushed to safety causing a significant headwind to small cap equities with the Russell 2000® Growth Index falling approximately 40% in less than one month’s time. However, the second quarter saw a dramatic snapback rally that left the Russell 2000 Growth Index down just 3.06% year-to-date. Despite the economy entering a severe recession, market participants looked optimistically to the future. While the prospect of vaccination or treatment innovations likely has created some tailwind, the equity markets certainly were emboldened by the Federal Reserve’s supportive actions.

 

For the first half of 2020, the Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned 8.05% (Retail Class) versus -3.06% for the Russell 2000® Growth Index, outperforming in both quarters.

 

Contributors to Return

The three sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark in the period were Information Technology, Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary, primarily driven by selection. Teladoc Health, Inc. (TDOC), a leader in virtual health care delivery, was the portfolio’s best performing stock. The COVID-19 pandemic is driving awareness of the benefits of virtual care that has accelerated demand across its customer base. Everbridge, Inc. (EVBG), a provider of critical events management software, also significantly outperformed in the first half of 2020 as the company saw robust interest in its broad suite of public and employee safety solutions. Independent insurance agency Goosehead Insurance, Inc. (GSHD) was also a top contributor given the company delivered peer leading growth in premiums written as its unique business model of separating sales and service continues to drive market share gains.

 

Detractors from Return

The three sectors that detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark in the period were Materials, Health Care, and Energy. Selection was negative in both Materials and Energy, however, the portfolio’s underweight allocation in Health Care hurt the portfolio given the strength in the sector. The portfolio’s worst-performing stock in the period was Hexcel Corp. (HXL), a carbon fiber provider to the aerospace and defense markets. Key customers have cut production plans given the sharp slowdown in travel demand and potential credit issues with certain airlines. Despite near-term headwinds, we believe the long-term growth outlook for the company remains robust given its strong competitive positioning. Another significant detractor was OneSpaWorld Holdings Ltd. (OSW), a leading provider of wellness services onboard cruise ships. Cruise cancellations have put extreme pressure on the company, and we exited the position during the period given we would expect a long road ahead for a recovery. Huron Consulting (HURN), a global consultancy firm that collaborates with clients to drive strategic growth, ignite innovation and navigate constant change, was also an underperformer as its two primary end markets, hospitals and education, were severely disrupted due to COVID-19. We believe the company remains well positioned to generate strong results as the pandemic disruption subsides.

 

Outlook and Positioning

As of the end of the first half of 2020, the Fund’s portfolio was overweight primarily in the Financials and Industrials sectors and underweight primarily in the Health Care and Consumer Staples sectors. The resilience of the fundamentals at the majority of the Fund’s portfolio companies during the first half of the year has been impressive given the backdrop. We believe that the pandemic has accelerated many of the trends that were already in place, in effect, making the stronger companies even better competitively positioned to grow in the future. Our focus on high quality, fundamentally stable growth companies has been rewarded, not just in protecting in the downside of the first quarter drawdown but also in the recovery rally of the second quarter.

Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Core Fund

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) decreased 5.60% (Retail Class) for the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2020, compared to a 12.98% decrease for the Russell 2000® Index. Saying the first half of 2020 was extraordinary is an understatement as the team navigated both a bear and bull market. The global pandemic and subsequent lockdown drove significant market declines which were quickly reversed due to unprecedent global fiscal and monetary stimulus. We are heartened by our ability to outperform through such extreme market changes and excited by the companies the market volatility provided a chance to add to the Fund.

 

Contributors to Return

Five9, Inc. (FIVN), a provider of cloud-based contact center communications as a service (CCaaS), was the top contributor to the Fund’s performance during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. COVID-19 driven disruption and reduction to in-person interactions, elevated the importance of contact centers for servicing customers across industries. FIVN’s leadership position in the cloud-based market drove strong near-term results and positions it well to benefit short and long term. Horizon Therapeutics Company (HZNP), a biopharmaceutical company focused on orphan drugs for rare and rheumatic conditions, was also a large contributor to performance. HZNP benefited from the successful rollout of two drugs, Krystexxa (gout) and Tepezza (Thyroid Eye Disease), that are driving substantial growth for the company.

 

Detractors from Return

Harsco Corporation (HSC), a provider of environmental and clean earth solutions, was one of the largest detractors. HSC reported lackluster performance during the period driven by execution issues in their Rail segment and a shortfall in their Environmental segment. Further, after a period of significant balance sheet deleveraging, the company levered up to buy an underperforming asset. Given the confluence of negative factors against a backdrop of a deteriorating economic environment, we chose to exit the position. OneSpaWorld Holdings Ltd. (OSW) was another top detractor. OSW operates spa and related services on cruise ships. Given the short- and medium-term change in outlook for the cruise industry following the COVID-19 outbreak, we chose to exit the position.

 

Outlook and Positioning

The first half of 2020 saw a bear market, followed by a bull market, unprecedented unemployment increases, massive global monetary and fiscal stimulus and interest rates approaching zero percent globally. Following an initial sharp decline, global stock markets rebounded as worst-case scenarios envisioned in March & April are proving overly dour and economic data has improved considerably. Despite this rebound, we believe the fundamental outlook remains uncertain and businesses globally remain cautious. While a vaccine could accelerate the recovery, we believe it is likely the U.S. economy experiences a bumpy road on its return to (“the new”) normal over the next few years. Further, the impact of COVID will permanently change business and consumer behavior with broad implications from travel and retail to demand for industrial goods and commercial real estate, which likely results in sustained slower economic growth.

 

Importantly for the investors in the Fund, we believe that the team’s approach of focusing on companies operating in niche markets with defendable competitive advantages is becoming an even more important weapon, similar to after the 2008/2009. We favor companies that target smaller overall markets where they can achieve high market share and operate in a less competitively intense environment which results in higher and more stable ROIC profiles.

 

Combining these characteristics with strong management teams and attractive reward-to-risk ratios are the key pillars of our investment philosophy and have been for nearly two decades. We believe they are critically important across market cycles, but in the wake of COVID-19 and the uncertainty of what lies ahead, we are certain that our philosophical approach is becoming an even more important factor to drive future equity returns and relative performance.

 

Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Segall Bryant & Hamill Mid Cap Value Dividend Fund

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

To say that 2020 has been an unimaginable year would be a gross understatement. The first quarter was one of the worst quarters on record, ending the longest bull market in history. The violent sell-off was a consequence of the COVID-19 virus becoming a global pandemic, resulting in the near shutdown of the domestic (and global) economy. In the second quarter, we witnessed a dramatic recovery in the markets, despite the fact that we are still in the midst of the pandemic and it is likely we will see adverse economic impacts well into the future.

 

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Mid Cap Value Dividend Fund (the “Fund”) contracted -17.37% (Retail Class) for the year-to-date period through June 30, 2020, ahead of the -18.09% return of the Russell Midcap® Value Index. Dividend-paying stocks, which have historically offered downside protection during market turmoil, underperformed due to the real or perceived cash flow impact on many businesses.

 

Contributors to Return

Sectors that contributed most to the Fund’s relative performance year-to-date were Real Estate (driven by selection), Information Technology (driven by allocation), and Materials (driven by selection). Materials holding Newmont Corporation (NEM), a global gold producer, outperformed Materials and the markets during this period, mostly in sympathy with higher gold prices. The case for precious metals is supported by aggressive monetary and fiscal policies across the world combined with high debt loads and impaired global real GDP. Americold Realty Trust (COLD), a cold storage real estate investment trust (REIT), was also a top contributor. COVID-19 shelter in place recommendations have driven a surge in grocery demand as consumers shift to eating at home, driving increased activity at the company’s temperature-controlled storage facilities. In addition, COLD maintained its 2020 guidance and reported no delays in its development pipeline.

 

Detractors from Return

Sectors that detracted the most from performance year-to-date were Consumer Staples (driven by allocation), Industrials (driven by selection), and Financials (driven by allocation). Energy holding Enerplus Corporation (ERF), an oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) company, was another detractor to performance this year as oil prices collapsed from $66 per barrel at the beginning of the year to nearly $23 at the end of the first quarter. Solvency of many E&P energy companies began to be questioned. Industrial holding CAE Inc. (CAE), a global leader in modeling, simulation, and training for the commercial aerospace industry was another detractor. The stock underperformed as the aerospace industry was negatively impacted by the economic slowdown.

 

As was announced on July 23, 2020, the Fund’s Board of Trustees voted to liquidate the Segall Bryant & Hamill Mid Cap Value Dividend Fund on or about September 17, 2020. Please see the supplement to the Fund’s prospectus for complete details.

Segall Bryant & Hamill All Cap Fund

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Fund Performance

For the year-to-date period, the Segall Bryant & Hamill All Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.06% (Retail Class) compared to a return of -3.48% for the Russell 3000® Index. For the year-to-date period, security selection contributed +425 bps to relative performance and sector allocation contributed +169 bps. Cash had a positive +64 bps total effect on the relative return.

 

As a reminder, the investment team’s strategy is to participate in all markets by investing in companies that maintain high Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), generate quality financial metrics (e.g., free cash flow growth, consistent earnings growth and margin expansion) and are operated by strong management teams.

 

Contributors to Return

At the sector level, the Fund’s best-performing areas were Health Care (+199 bps), Financials (+101 bps) and Energy (+73 bps). The outperformance in the Utilities sector was primarily related to allocation as it was a lagging group in the index, and this sector was significantly underweighted in the Fund. At the individual holding level, several names stood out in terms of their positive contributions to performance for the quarter:

 

Marvell Technology Group (MRVL) – Company benefited from significant outperformance in cloud data center applications and 5G infrastructure buildouts.

 

Amazon.com (AMZN) – Profited from increased consumer adoption of e-commerce, accelerated by COVID-19, as well as continued Amazon Web Services growth.

 

Catalent (CTLT) – Organization experiencing resilient demand for biologics capabilities in addition to new tailwinds from vaccine production opportunities.

 

Detractors from Return

Consumer Discretionary (-22 bps), Communication Services (-21 bps), and Information Technology (-3 bps) were the largest detractors on a sector level for the year-to-date period. In terms of individual securities, several names detracted from performance:

 

JPMorgan Chase (JPM) – Economic pressures resulting from COVID-19 created concern around loan losses for financial services organizations.

 

Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA) – Concerns of rising claims due to COVID-19 created concern around the insured portfolio.

 

Parker-Hannifin Corporation (PH) – Exposure to the aerospace and industrial sectors impacted by COVID-19.

 

Outlook and Positioning

The market sharply recovered in the second quarter of 2020, as evidenced by the +20.5% return produced by the S&P 500® Index and +22.0% performance generated by the Russell 3000 benchmark. A confluence of factors contributed to the positive inflection higher in equities as governments, corporations, and consumers sought to navigate through unprecedented economic conditions caused by COVID-19. Timely and aggressive stimulus, both fiscal and monetary, can be given significant recognition for helping to maintain functional capital markets and broader economic sentiment. By significantly expanding its balance sheet and repairing bond market operations, the Federal Reserve (and central banks around the globe) played a crucial role toward ensuring companies were able to access liquidity. Available credit was viewed as necessary for bridging what will likely be a challenging year on cash flows and bottom lines (S&P earnings are forecasted to contract by -22.2% in 2020 per FactSet consensus). Similarly, enhanced unemployment benefits and stimulus checks helped to somewhat blunt the financial strain and confidence erosion from a consumer perspective.

 

While the pandemic still wages material disruption on daily life throughout the world, slowing infection rates during the second quarter, and optimism around prospective coronavirus treatments helped to provide visibility toward the reopening of commercial and social activity. The easing of lockdown restriction conditions allowed some corporations to offer up supportive demand commentary as the year progressed, relative to low investor expectations. This dynamic fueled a rally in cyclical corners of the market (crude futures appreciated +91.8%) all the while investors continued to favor mega cap technology companies in the period (NASDAQ-100 returned +30.3%) which provided helpful support at the index level. To be sure, the operating environment moving forward is far from clear. Escalating infection trends, social unrest, election rhetoric, and geopolitical tensions are just a few of the variables that the market will monitor in the back half of the calendar year against the context of valuation multiples, which stand elevated to historical averages. We believe that by focusing our bottom-up research process on ROIC-oriented companies that meet our quality standards, the All Cap Fund is well positioned to weather evolving external macro conditions.

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

The first half of 2020 was marked by dramatic moves in global stock markets as many countries initially struggled to deal with the onset and spread of the novel coronavirus. After falling over 31% at one point, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rallied to pare its year-to-date loss to 9.78% as governments took steps to contain the virus and central bankers provided stimulus to bolster their faltering economies. Regional performance varied as the best performer, Asia, ended the first half of the year down just 3.5% as its countries moved quickly to address the spreading virus with China actually advancing 3.5% over the same period. At the other extreme, Latin America is down 35.2% through the first half of the year due in large part to its largest constituent, Brazil, being down 38.9% with many critical of the country’s coronavirus response. The Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) region ended 21.4% lower as strength in the Middle Eastern countries was offset by Europe. Health Care (+25.8%) is the top-performing EMEA sector this first half of the year on investor hopes for the discovery of an effective coronavirus vaccine. The worst performer was Energy -26.1% as the sector suffered a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia along with reduced demand due to the pandemic.

 

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Emerging Markets Fund (the “Fund”) rebounded along with the broader market to pare its year-to-date losses at -13.73% (Retail Class), but still trailed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index return of -9.78% for the same period. The ongoing outperformance of expensively valued stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Growth Index (-1.5%), versus undervalued stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Value Index (-18.0%), remained a headwind for our Fund. The 16.5% shortfall of the value versus growth indices for half of a year is the largest on record, eclipsing the previous worst of 15.3% which occurred in the second half of 1999. Negative security selection in Asia (where value lagged growth by 18.7%) was the main driver of this period’s relative performance, mainly due to the underperformance of the Fund’s holdings in China. Selection was flat in EMEA and modestly negative in Latin America. At the sector level, positive stock selection in Financials, Utilities, and Real Estate was more than offset by negative selection in Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care. The performance of our investment team’s model components was mixed as profitability and momentum finished higher while valuation continued to suffer from investor preferences for expensive growth stocks.

 

Outlook and Positioning

While the direction of the market has been volatile over the last six months, investor preferences for expensive growth companies has been constant. The Fund has been able to defend against this growth deluge to a certain extent but has not been immune to the massive headwind. Some of the most acute underperformance versus the market this year has come from segments where we focus the Fund’s investments, specifically higher quality companies trading at reasonable valuations. It is important to note that expensive growth companies are not performing any better fundamentally than they normally have, in fact they are performing worse while value companies have in fact closed some of the growth gap over the past 3 years or so. The relative valuations of high quality, attractively priced companies started the year in very advantageous positioning and has gotten much more so with the continual price outperformance of the expensive growth companies. Comparisons to internal dislocations reached during the Dot-Com (TMT bubble) of 1999/2000 are certainly warranted now. It can be uncomfortable, for both investment managers and their clients, to maintain a value tilt, but with valuations where they currently stand, we believe the odds of a reversal soon have greatly increased. We retain our focus and remain confident in our prospects going forward.

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

The first half of 2020 was marked by dramatic moves in global stock markets as countries initially struggled to deal with the onset of the novel coronavirus. After falling over 38% at one point, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index rallied to pare its year-to-date loss to 13.11% as governments took steps to contain the virus and central bankers provided stimulus to bolster their faltering economies. At the region level, the Far East (-8.7%), Europe (-9.8%), and Japan (-10.0%) ended the first half of the year in a tight range despite varying individual country performances within regions. The U.K. (-27.2%) was the worst-performing benchmark region as many criticized the urgency of the country’s coronavirus response. Health Care (+4.1%), was the only sector to be up for the year on investor hopes of the discovery of an effective coronavirus vaccine. The worst-performing sector this year was Energy (-45.0%) which was hurt by a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia and a coronavirus-driven demand shock.

 

The Segall Bryant & Hamill International Small Cap Fund (Retail Class) returned-23.88% versus a -13.11% return for the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. The ongoing outperformance of expensively valued stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Growth Index (-5.9%), versus undervalued stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Value Index (-20.5%), remained a strong headwind for the Fund. The 14.6% shortfall of the Value versus Growth indices is the largest first-half margin on record and second largest half year only behind the latter half of 1999 when Value underperformed growth by 22.4%. Value lagged Growth in every benchmark region, driving the Fund’s negative security selection in each. Selection was mixed at the sector level as the Fund’s stocks in Utilities and Energy outperformed their group’s overall returns but lagged in the remaining sectors. The profitability and momentum components of our investment team’s model performed well this year but could not offset the negative impact of the larger valuation component.

 

Outlook and Positioning

One dimension that remained constant during the volatile first half of 2020 is investor preference for expensive growth stocks over all others. This market disruption intensified a trend that has been ongoing for the past 3 years, investors overpaying for growth. Just as some fixed income investors “reach for yield” regardless of price or risk, we are seeing equity investors “reach for growth” in which they pay higher and higher multiples for less excess growth, simply because overall growth rates are lower. Investors’ frenzied preference for expensive Growth stocks has driven relative valuation ratios to levels that some believed would not have been seen again. Growth stocks are now at extremely high valuation ratios, with forecasted growth significantly down from long-term trends. Value stocks are the inverse, trading at distressed multiples, despite suffering less erosion of their expected future growth. Fundamental conditions in the market are not much different than normal – companies on average are performing as their long-term trends would suggest, with the only extraordinary aspect being the ever-expanding multiples of a small subset of the market, resulting in a value opportunity that is very rarely seen. It can be difficult for both investors and clients to maintain their focus and resolve during such periods of extreme turmoil, but we remain resolute in our approach. We do not know of the exact timing of the reversal, but we feel confident that this bubble, like all bubbles, will pop, and we and our investors will be well-positioned to capitalize.

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

If ever one doubted that the market behaves in the short run like a voting machine, the first half of 2020 supplied proof in abundance. Thirty-three days was all it took for U.S. equities to collapse from peak to trough. Similar wipeouts took place across every major market. But while a V-shaped recovery remains to be seen in the global economy, one certainly took place in equity markets. The S&P 500® Index’s dramatic rebound, which ended the first half barely below the index’s all-time high, was joined by double-digit recoveries in equity prices in almost every major market. Economic data in the U.S. improved in May, China regained its footing, and the pandemic appeared to be largely tamed in most of the developed world.

 

Amidst this turbulence, the Segall Bryant & Hamill Fundamental International Small Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned -7.23% (Retail Class) for the six-month period ending June 30, 2020, above the -12.80% return of the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index.

 

Contributors to Return

On a sector level, both allocation and selection in Information Technology contributed to returns. Stock selection in the Industrials sector was also a significant contributor. On an individual stock basis, Appen (APX AU), an Australia-based company that provides training data and artificial intelligence solutions for natural language processing, was a top contributor. Serving customers in the technology industry such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Facebook in their efforts to optimize speech recognition, translation, and other language-related domains, Appen has been relatively insulated from COVID-19 and continues to grow at a rapid clip. MIPS AB (MIPS SE), a Sweden-based market leader in helmet safety solutions, was also a top contributor. MIPS posted double-digit growth during 2019, driven by its products gaining adoption as a market standard. Although MIPS’ customers have significant manufacturing ties to China that were temporarily disrupted due to COVID-19, manufacturing has largely resumed, and we believe the company has a more than sufficient cash balance to weather any near-term impacts.

 

Detractors from Return

The Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors detracted from relative returns. In terms of individual stocks, Webjet Limited (WEB AU), an Australian online travel agency, was a top detractor. Although Webjet reported strong results for the first half of the year, it has borne the brunt of a steep decline in travel along with the rest of the travel industry. These circumstances left Webjet requiring new capital to meet operating liabilities and expenses. This capital is presumed to be enough to support Webjet in the near term, providing enough runway until travel recovers. Vision Inc. (9416 JP), a Japanese provider of mobile WiFi routers, also detracted from performance. Demand for mobile WiFi routers is dependent on travel, with Vision serving both business and leisure travelers. With the shutdown of travel to and from Japan, Vision’s revenue and operating income saw substantial declines in the first quarter. However, the company was still profitable during this worst-case scenario and enjoys a very strong balance sheet.

 

Outlook and Positioning

Today’s sanguine markets mask considerable underlying uncertainty, including the risk of a second viral wave before a vaccine is discovered. The U.S. is not immune to this, nor to domestic civic tension compounded by a looming election. Globally, the pandemic has been better contained in the developed world outside the U.S. but continues to ravage through less well-equipped countries. Investors will watch economic indicators intently, but we may still be in the early stages of a historic time. Since the onset of COVID-19, we have significantly downsized the Fund’s exposure to the most heavily affected businesses while shoring up the Fund’s presence in those with greater robustness. We do expect COVID-19 to accelerate existing technological trends and continue to see compelling opportunity in the information technology sector, which represents our largest sector allocation. While informed by broader macroeconomic developments, our process will continue to emphasize a commitment to bottom-up fundamental analysis in order to find the best opportunities, sectors and geographies. Looking forward, we are confident that our focus on holdings supported by strong fundamentals, such as high cash generation and low indebtedness, will position the Fund well.

Segall Bryant & Hamill Global Large Cap Fund

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview and Fund Performance

In the first half of 2020, we saw a dramatic synchronized recovery in global indices although the economic impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic continued to intensify. While many of the companies exposed directly to the pandemic’s economic impact came under financial stress, decisive actions by the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and others beginning in March sparked knee-jerk buying from market participants when memories of comparatively small interventions during the previous cycle supported asset prices and eventually spurred economic growth. Throughout the period, monetary actions were supplemented with fiscal actions like direct transfer payments.

 

While economically sensitive stocks rallied midway through the second quarter on the prospects of ending lockdowns, the key theme in leadership was around the convergence of an unprecedented contraction in real gross product in combination with (again) unprecedented global money supply expansion. These dynamics brought market trends already in process to an extreme, such as most asset classes inflecting sharply upward, precious metals markets recognizing government endorsement of a liberal use of money supply expansion, and an extreme investor preference for long duration growth assets as discount rates dropped and long-dated technology adoption theses were pulled forward by the social dynamics of lockdowns.

 

In the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2020, the Segall Bryant & Hamill Global Large Cap Fund (the “Fund”) returned -11.35% (Retail Class) versus -5.77% for the MSCI World Index benchmark.

 

Contributors to Returns

The top contributing sectors to Fund performance during the six-month period ending June 30, 2020, on a relative basis were Materials, Industrials, and Real Estate. Materials holding Newmont Corp. (NEM-US), a U.S.-based global gold miner, outperformed in sympathy with gold prices driven higher by aggressive monetary policies and macroeconomic uncertainty. Consumer Discretionary name Lowe’s Companies (LOW-US) was also a top contributor as quarantines motivated U.S. consumers to focus on home improvement projects, driving a sharp recovery in a stock oversold during the first quarter.

 

Detractors from Returns

Sectors that detracted most from relative performance were Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials. The Fund does not participate in momentum-oriented, non-dividend paying technology names that have come to comprise significant weightings in the benchmark. This underexposure derives from our forecast of limited dividend income generation from these companies over our investment time horizon.

 

Consumer Discretionary holding Valeo SA (FR-PAR), a French provider of automotive technologies to global OEMs, was a top detractor. As COVID-19 spread to Europe and the US, the demand outlook plunged for end market auto sales and new car production that would consume Valeo’s high voltage electrification and advanced driver assistance technologies. Energy holding Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC-US), a U.S. refining and midstream operator, was also a top detractor although it recovered from first quarter fears around oil and refined product consumption as gasoline demand recovered more quickly than the market expected.

 

Outlook and Positioning

The second quarter of 2020 brought one of the most aggressive pro-growth market preferences in history. However, we know that in a world with double-digit U.S. unemployment and continuing global pandemic spread, our high cash flow-yielding and defensive investment style lends itself to participation with less volatility. Nonetheless, we reduced our weighting in names that bounced on the anticipation of the early reopening of global economies or are dependent on higher interest rate expectations.

 

With the pandemic’s first and second waves continuing to spread globally, we expect volatility around prospects for reopening over the next quarter. We weigh this against the increasing willingness of policymakers to expand fiscal deficits to fight economic weakness. Looking beyond a quarter or two, we are increasingly optimistic about the prospects for a functioning – although different – economy not far in the future.

 

As was announced on July 23, 2020, Suresh Rajagopal and Ralph M. Segall, members of Segall Bryant & Hamill’s All Cap investment team, assumed responsibility for the management of the Segall Bryant & Hamill Global Large Cap Fund. On that date it was also announced that the Board of Trustees of Segall Bryant & Hamill Trust approved a change to the name of the Fund. Effective September 22, 2020, the Fund will change its name to “Segall Bryant & Hamill Global All Cap Fund.” Please see the supplement to the Fund’s prospectus for details regarding the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies effective September 22, 2020.

In the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2020, the Segall Bryant & Hamill Workplace Equality Fund (the “Fund”) (Retail Class) returned -10.12% versus -2.81% for the Russell 1000® Index.

 

Contributors to Returns

Consumer Staples, Industrials, and Health Care holdings outperformed on a relative basis year-to-date with strong stock selection dominating the performance contribution. Technology holding NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) outperformed after reporting positive first quarter earnings and issuing an upbeat outlook driven by strength in gaming during the shutdown and consistent growth in data center sales. Gilead Sciences, Inc. (GILD) was also a top contributor, however we trimmed the Fund’s holdings of the biopharmaceutical company as investors bid shares higher on optimism over the effectiveness of their antiviral compound Remdesivir against COVID-19, resulting in less future upside potential, in our opinion.

 

Detractors from Returns

Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, and Communication Services detracted from relative results during the period. Marathon Petroleum (MPC-US), a U.S. oil refining, midstream and gas station giant, underperformed markets in the first quarter. Quarantines addressing the SARS-COV-2 outbreak decimated gasoline demand, forcing the company to cut utilization of its refineries. The market recognized that stay-at-home measures mean fewer visits to its convenience stores and worsening prospects for crude run through its pipeline system. While the magnitude of the demand impact is dramatic, we believe that should the quarantine persist through the summer, the company’s now roughly 10% dividend yield remains covered by strong cash flow for the year. Restaurant owner/operator Brinker International, Inc. (EAT) was also a top detractor. The company nearly doubled in value off extremely depressed levels. We subsequently sold our remaining shares invested in the company when the company no longer met our investment criteria.

 

Outlook and Positioning

The second quarter of 2020 brought one of the most aggressive pro-growth market preferences in history. However, we know that in a world with double-digit U.S. unemployment and continuing global pandemic spread, our high cash flow-yielding and defensive investment style historically lends itself to participation with less volatility.

Segall Bryant & Hamill Short Term Plus Fund

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview

In the fixed income markets, the first half of 2020 was defined by two distinct quarters. The first quarter was dominated by COVID-19 fears, which led the Federal Reserve (Fed) to unleash a massive stimulus effort designed to bolster markets. Buying a mix of Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, corporate bonds and bond ETFs, the Fed, under Chairman Jay Powell, has increased the size of its balance sheet in 2020 from approximately $4 trillion to more than $7 trillion. At the current pace of asset purchases, the Fed’s balance sheet will have grown more in less than one year than it did over the six-year expansionary period (2008-2014) under Chairman Ben Bernanke. Given the liquidity provided by the Fed’s purchases, risk assets performed very well in the second quarter. Investment grade and high yield corporate bonds generated their highest quarterly returns since 2009, erasing most of their losses from the first quarter.

 

Fund Performance

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Short Term Plus Fund (the “Fund”) returned 0.67% (retail class) for the first half of 2020 compared to a return of 2.88% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Index. The most significant drivers of Fund performance relative to the benchmark during this period were duration and sector selection. The duration of the Fund averaged 1.18 years over this period vs. 1.92 years for the benchmark. This hurt relative returns as 1- to 3-year Treasury yields declined over 1.4% in the first half of the year. The Fund’s average allocation to the high yield corporate sector averaged 10.38% during this period vs. 0% for the benchmark. This hurt relative returns as 0 to 3-year high yield bonds returned -6.56% in the first half of the year.

 

Outlook and Positioning

The remainder of 2020 will be heavily influenced by the trajectory of COVID-19 and the impact it has on the reopening of cities and countries. While spreads on corporate bonds – both investment grade and high yield – made a strong recovery throughout the second quarter, they remain wide to where they began 2020. Following the record amount of new bonds issued in the first half of 2020, many corporate bond issuers have pushed out debt maturities and enhanced balance sheet liquidity, so we expect to remain overweight on corporate credit. The Fed has pledged its support to markets via low rates and continued quantitative easing, which will boost most fixed income markets. However, even with the Fed’s explicit support, the U.S. economy remains wobbly, as evidenced by various factors such as elevated unemployment and rising defaults in high yield. As November approaches, there will be increased focus on the U.S. elections. In short, we can say with conviction that uncertainty is quite high. Against this backdrop, we intend to maintain our bias toward securities that meet our standards for high quality, and to put a premium on safety and liquidity.

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Plus Bond Fund (the “Fund”) returned 5.48% (retail class) for the first half of 2020 compared to a 6.14% return posted by its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Security selection had a positive effect on Fund returns relative to the benchmark during this period. Treasury holdings in the Fund outperformed those in the benchmark significantly while the Fund’s mortgage-backed securities outperformed comparable bonds in the benchmark and taxable municipals outperformed the benchmark’s government-related securities. Corporate bonds held in the Fund underperformed primarily due to the allocation to high yield. Sector selection had a negative impact on relative performance during the first half of the year. The Fund was overweight corporate securities compared to the benchmark and underweight U.S. Treasury securities. This hurt relative returns as corporate bonds returned 5.02% vs 8.71% for Treasuries.

 

Outlook and Positioning

The remainder of 2020 will be heavily influenced by the trajectory of COVID-19 and the impact it has on the re-opening of cities and countries. While spreads on corporate bonds – both investment grade and high yield – made a strong recovery throughout the second quarter, they remain wide to where they began 2020. Following the record amount of new bonds issued in the first half of 2020, many corporate bond issuers have pushed out debt maturities and enhanced balance sheet liquidity, so we expect to remain overweight on corporate credit.

Given the liquidity provided by the Fed’s purchases, risk assets performed very well in the second quarter. High yield corporate bonds generated their highest quarterly returns since 2009, erasing most of their losses from the first quarter. Despite the Fed’s intervention, the high yield default rate now sits at 6.9%, its highest mark since 2010. During the ’08-’09 financial crisis, the default rate peaked at 14.4% in October 2009.

 

Fund Performance

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Quality High Yield Fund (the “Fund”) returned -1.17% (retail class) for the first half of 2020 compared to a -3.83% return posted by its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index. The Fund’s quality bias drove relative returns versus the index during this period of volatile spreads and increasing defaults. Positive contributors to the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark included an overweight of BBBs and BBs and positive security selection in the Energy, Financial and Consumer Cyclical industries. Detractors from relative performance came from security selection in the asset-backed securities and Theater/Entertainment industries.

 

Outlook and Positioning

The remainder of 2020 will be heavily influenced by the trajectory of COVID-19 and the impact it has on the reopening of cities and countries. While spreads on high yield bonds made a strong recovery throughout the second quarter, they remain wide to where they began 2020.

Market Overview

In the fixed income markets, the first half of 2020 was defined by two distinct quarters. The first quarter was dominated by COVID-19 fears, which led the Federal Reserve (Fed) to unleash a massive stimulus effort designed to bolster markets. Buying a mix of Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, corporate bonds and bond ETFs, the Fed, under Chairman Jay Powell, has increased the size of its balance sheet in 2020 from approximately $4 trillion to more than $7 trillion. At the current pace of asset purchases, the Fed’s balance sheet will have grown more in less than one year than it did over the six-year expansionary period (2008-2014) under Chairman Ben Bernanke. Given the liquidity provided by the Fed’s purchases, risk assets performed very well in the second quarter.

 

Municipal bonds staged an impressive rally during the second quarter with the combination of rates falling and spread tightening. While this strong performance was certainly a respite from the chaos in the municipal markets during the first quarter, it also brought to the forefront several new concerns, namely low rates and a rocky credit environment.

 

Fund Performance

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Municipal Opportunities Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.60% (retail class) for the first half of 2020, compared to the 2.18% return posted by its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond 1-15 Year Index. While we viewed the sell-off during the first quarter with some concern, we used it as an opportunity to reposition the Fund by extending duration and taking new or larger positions in some of our favorite credit names. Our larger concern in March as municipal ratios hit all-time highs was a concern that wasn’t top of mind with many investors—zero rates. At that time, we felt we might be moving too quickly as the sell-off could have persisted much longer had it not been for the record-setting fiscal and monetary interventions. However, the market snapped back faster than investors had anticipated and the steps we took to reposition the Fund benefited overall Fund performance for the second quarter. In particular, the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark was largely driven by our extension in credit duration, which had a strong rally during the quarter. We believe that our income advantage and credit selection will drive performance going forward.

 

Outlook & Positioning

The remainder of 2020 will be heavily influenced by the trajectory of COVID-19 and the impact it has on the reopening of cities and countries. The Fed has pledged its support to markets via low rates and continued quantitative easing which should boost most all fixed income markets. However, even with the Fed’s explicit support, the U.S. economy remains wobbly, as evidenced by various factors such as elevated unemployment and rising defaults in high yield. As November approaches, there will be increased focus on the U.S. elections. In short, we can say with conviction that uncertainty is quite high. Against this backdrop, we intend to maintain our bias toward securities that meet our standards for high quality, and to put a premium on safety and liquidity when investing.

Fund Overview

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Manager Commentary

 

Market Overview

In the fixed income markets, the first half of 2020 was defined by two distinct quarters. The first quarter was dominated by COVID-19 fears, which led the Federal Reserve (Fed) to unleash a massive stimulus effort designed to bolster markets. Buying a mix of Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, agency securities, corporate bonds and bond ETFs, the Fed, under Chairman Jay Powell, has increased the size of its balance sheet in 2020 from around $4 trillion to over $7 trillion. At the current pace of asset purchases, the Fed’s balance sheet will have grown more in less than one year than it did over the six-year expansionary period (2008-2014) under Chairman Ben Bernanke. Given the liquidity provided by the Fed’s purchases, risk assets performed very well in the second quarter.

 

Municipal bonds staged an impressive rally with the combination of rates falling and tightening of credit spreads. While the strong positive performance was certainly a respite from the pure chaos of the first quarter, it also brought to the forefront plenty of new concerns, namely low rates and a rocky credit environment.

 

Performance

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Colorado Tax Free Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.85% (retail class) for the first half of 2020. This compares to the 2.18% return posted by its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-15 Year Municipal Bond Index. The main driver of the Fund’s underperformance versus the benchmark was a rotation out of high-quality beta and into more spread and yield positions, as evidenced by the bulk of performance coming from price gains rather than income. We remain confident in the positioning moves we made in the Fund during the first half of 2020, as they were driven by our view that a strong income advantage will drive performance going forward.

 

Outlook and Positioning

The remainder of 2020 will be heavily influenced by the trajectory of COVID-19 and the impact it has on the re-opening of cities and countries. The Fed has pledged its support to markets via low rates and continued quantitative easing, which will boost most all fixed income markets. However, even with the Fed’s explicit support, the U.S. economy remains wobbly, as evidenced by various factors such as elevated unemployment and rising defaults in high yield. As November approaches, there will be increased focus on the U.S. elections. In short, we can say with conviction that uncertainty is quite high. Against this backdrop, we intend to maintain our bias toward securities we consider high quality, and to put a premium on safety and liquidity when investing.

Fund Expenses

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples on the next page are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2020 and held until June 30, 2020.

 

Actual Expenses. The first line of the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second line of the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Expenses shown in the table on the next page are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The calculation determined the contribution of each Fund holding by calculating the weight (i.e., percentage of the total investments) of each holding multiplied by the rate of return for that holding during the period ended June 30, 2020.

AAA: An obligation rated “AAA” has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

 

AA+: An obligation rated “AA+” differs from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

 

AA: An obligation rated “AA” differs from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

 

A: An obligation rated “A” is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

 

BBB: An obligation rated “BBB” exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

 

Below BBB: Obligations rated “BB,” “B,” “CCC,” “CC” and “C” are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. “BB” indicates the least degree of speculation and “C” the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions. Bonds rated “BB” or below are commonly referred to as “junk” bonds.

 

Non-Rated: These bonds are not rated.

 

Credit Quality Rating: A rating of an individual bond as determined by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s. Credit quality ratings range from highest, “AAA ” to lowest, “D”. For more information regarding rating methodologies for Standard & Poor’s, visit www.standardandpoors.com and for Moody’s, visit www.moodys.com.

 

Credit Spread: The difference in yield between two bonds of similar maturity, but different credit quality.

 

Duration: A generic description of the sensitivity of a bond’s price (as a percentage of initial price) to a change in yield.

 

EPS (Earnings per Share) Growth: Earnings per share is the portion of a company’s profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. EPS growth serves as an indicator of a company’s profitability.

 

Effective Maturity: A weighted average of the maturities of the bonds in a portfolio.

Emerging Markets: Segall Bryant & Hamill Funds consider emerging market countries to be those countries that are neither U.S. nor developed countries.

 

Federal Reserve (Fed): The central banking system of the United States.

 

Free Cash Flow to Total Enterprise Value (FCF/TEV): A valuation metric used to compare the amount of cash a firm generates to the total value of the resources used to generate that cash.

 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The market value of all officially recognized goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time.

 

Market Capitalization: The market capitalization represents the total value of a company or stock. It is calculated by multiplying the number of shares outstanding by the current price of one share.

 

Modified Duration: A duration measure in which it is assumed that yield changes do not change the expected cash flows.

 

Number of Holdings: The Number of Holdings presented excludes short-term investments including money market mutual funds.

 

OPEC: Is the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

 

Operating Cash Flow to Price (OCF/P): A valuation metric used to compare the amount of cash a firm generates per share from operations to the price of the stock.

 

Portfolio Turnover Rate: A percentage computed by taking the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities (excluding short-term investments) for the year and dividing it by the monthly average of the market value of the portfolio securities during the year.

 

Price to Book Value (P/B) Ratio: The P/B ratio is used to compare a company’s book value to its current market price. This ratio compares the market’s valuation of a company to the value of that company as indicated on its financial statements. The higher the ratio, the higher the premium the market is willing to pay for the company above its hard assets.

 

Price to Cash (P/C) Flow Ratio: The P/C flow ratio is a measure of a firm’s stock price relative to its financial performance. For a fund, the P/C flow ratio is the weighted average of all stocks held in the fund. It represents the amount an investor is willing to pay for a dollar generated from a particular company’s operations.

 

Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: The P/E ratio is a stock’s per share price divided by its per share earnings over a 12-month period. For a fund, the P/E ratio is the weighted average of all stocks held in the fund. The higher the P/E ratio, the more the market is willing to pay for each dollar of annual earnings.

 

REIT: A REIT is a real estate investment trust. REITs are securities that sell like a stock on a major exchange. REITs invest directly in real estate, either through properties or mortgages.

 

Return on Equity (ROE): A measure of how well a company used reinvested earnings to generate additional earnings. It is used as a general indication of a company’s efficiency; in other words, how much profit is a company able to generate given the resources provided by its stockholders.

 

Risk-Adjusted Return: Is a measure of return that incorporates the value of risk involved in the return of an investment. It is intended to help investors compare the returns of investments with varying levels of risk. Risk-adjusted return can be applied to individual securities, mutual funds and portfolios.

 

Risk On, Risk Off: A concept that describes market sentiment as either “risk on” or “risk off”. During a market sentiment of “risk on”, the market is optimistic and more willing to take on risk in exchange for possibly better returns. When market sentiment is “risk off”, the market is pessimistic and will favor investments with perceived lower risk.

 

SEC Yield: The SEC Yield is a standardized method of computing return on investment that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires mutual funds to use when advertising their yields. Its objective is to allow a confusion-free comparison of the performance of different funds.

Variable rate security. Interest rate resets periodically. The rate shown is the effective interest rate as of June 30, 2020. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread (in basis points) are indicated parenthetically. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions. These securities, therefore, do not indicate a reference rate and spread.

 

(b)

Security was purchased in a transaction exempt from registration in compliance with Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. This security may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. These securities are restricted. See the table below for additional information regarding each restricted security.

 

(c)

Step coupon. Rate shown is the coupon in effect as of June 30, 2020; reference rate and spread (in basis points) are indicated parenthetically.

 

Sector and industry classifications presented herein are based on the sector and industry categorization methodology of the Adviser to the Funds. For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease. Industries are shown as a percentage of net assets.

Variable rate security. Interest rate resets periodically. The rate shown is the effective interest rate as of June 30, 2020. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread (in basis points) are indicated parenthetically. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions. These securities, therefore, do not indicate a reference rate and spread.

 

Sector and industry classifications presented herein are based on the sector and industry categorization methodology of the Adviser to the Funds. For Fund compliance purposes, the Fund’s industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industry sub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or ratings group indexes, and/or as defined by Fund management. This definition may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industry sub-classifications for reporting ease. Industries are shown as a percentage of net assets.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

 

Segall Bryant & Hamill Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Interests in the Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Dividend Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Growth Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Core Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Mid Cap Value Dividend Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill All Cap Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Emerging Markets Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill International Small Cap Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Fundamental International Small Cap Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Global Large Cap Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Workplace Equality Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Short Term Plus Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Plus Bond Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Quality High Yield Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Municipal Opportunities Fund and Segall Bryant & Hamill Colorado Tax Free Fund (the “Funds”) are represented by separate classes of beneficial interest of the Trust, which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. All of the Funds offer Retail Class and Institutional Class shares. All classes of shares have identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters solely affecting such class.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. Each Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes. The following policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.

 

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents – Each Fund subscribes to the Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) Cash Management Service (“CMS”), whereby cash balances are automatically swept into overnight demand deposits with a branch of a pre-approved commercial bank. This fully automated program allows the Funds to earn interest on cash balances. As of June 30, 2020, the cash equivalents balances reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities represent the amounts participating in the BBH CMS.

 

Investment Valuation – All securities of the Funds are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), currently 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on each day that the NYSE is open, subject to provisions in the prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information regarding pricing at other times in case of an emergency and optional pricing of the Funds in the event that the NYSE does not open for business because of an emergency.

 

Securities that are traded on a recognized domestic stock exchange are generally valued at the last sales price as of the valuation time on the principal stock exchange on which they are traded. Securities that are principally traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”) exchange are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Unlisted securities that are traded on the domestic over-the-counter market for which last sales prices are available, are generally valued at the last sales price as of the valuation time. In the absence of sales and NOCP, such securities are valued at the bid price.

 

Securities that are traded on a foreign stock exchange (and that are not listed on a recognized domestic stock exchange or traded on the NASDAQ exchange or the domestic over-the-counter market) are generally valued at the official closing price on the principal stock exchange on which they are traded. When an event occurs subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange and the close of the NYSE that was likely to have changed such value, the fair value of those securities are determined in good faith in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. The Funds will use a fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service, which is intended to reflect fair value when a security’s value is believed to have been materially affected by a valuation event that has occurred between the close of the exchange or market on which the security is traded and the close of the regular trading day on the NYSE. In the event that closing prices are not available for such foreign securities, such securities are generally valued at the last sales price occurring prior to the closing of its principal exchange.

 

Forward foreign currency contracts have a fair value determined by an automated system that estimates rates on the basis of the current day foreign currency exchange rates and forward foreign currency exchange rates supplied by a pricing vendor. Foreign currency exchange rates and forward foreign currency exchange rates may generally be obtained at the close of the NYSE.

 

Redeemable securities issued by open-end registered investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value.

 

Fixed-income obligations, having a remaining maturity of greater than 60 days, are typically valued at the evaluated prices formulated by an independent pricing service.

 

When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of the Fund may be valued in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Factors which may be considered when determining the value of a security include (a) the fundamental data relating to the investment; (b) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is sold, including the liquidity and depth of the market; (c) the market value at date of purchase; (d) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security or comparable securities; and (e) any other relevant matters.

Segall Bryant & Hamill Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Market, Credit and Counterparty Risk – In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obligations (issuer credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional, national or global political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate and price fluctuations. Similar to issuer credit risk, the Funds may be exposed to counterparty credit risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may fail to or be unable to perform on its commitments. The Funds manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

 

Securities Traded on Foreign Exchanges – All of the Funds, except the Segall Bryant & Hamill Colorado Tax Free Fund, may invest at least a portion of their assets in foreign securities. As of June 30, 2020, all Funds were primarily invested in securities traded on U.S. exchanges, except Segall Bryant & Hamill Emerging Markets Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill International Small Cap Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Fundamental International Small Cap Fund and Segall Bryant & Hamill Global Large Cap Fund. In the event that a Fund executes a security transaction on a foreign exchange, the Fund will generally enter into a foreign currency contract to settle the foreign security transaction. Foreign securities may carry more risk than U.S. securities, such as political, market and currency risks. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange at period end. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.

 

Country Risk – As of June 30, 2020 the Segall Bryant & Hamill Emerging Markets Fund invested a significant percentage of its assets in China; the Segall Bryant & Hamill International Small Cap Fund invested a significant percentage of its assets in Japan and the United Kingdom and; the Segall Bryant & Hamill Fundamental International Small Cap Fund invested a significant percentage of its assets in Japan and the United Kingdom. Therefore, they may be more affected by economic developments and currency fluctuations in these countries.

 

Sector Concentration Risk – The Funds may concentrate investments in companies that are in a single sector or related sector. Concentrating investments in a single sector may make the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic, business, regulatory or other developments affecting that sector. If an economic downturn occurs in a sector in which the Fund’s investments are concentrated, the Fund may perform poorly during that period.

 

Federal Income Taxes – No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies.

 

As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. Each Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

 

When-Issued/Forward Commitment Securities – Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a “when-issued” or “forward commitment” basis which involves a commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell particular securities with payment and delivery taking place at a future date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. In accordance with SEC guidance, each Fund segregates liquid assets in an amount sufficient to satisfy the purchase price. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent each Fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. Settlements in the ordinary course of business, which may take substantially more than three business days for non-U.S. securities, are not treated by the Funds as “when-issued” or “forward commitment” transactions.

 

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income – For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ investment transactions and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practical after the Funds determine the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been recorded in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s rules and tax rates. Interest income, which includes amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts and income earned on money market funds, is accrued and recorded daily. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on an identified cost basis.

 

Investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) – With respect to each Fund, dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from its REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of these estimated amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Ultimus, pursuant to a Transfer Agency Agreement, serves as Transfer Agent for each of the Funds. As Transfer Agent, Ultimus has, among other things, agreed to: (a) issue and redeem shares of the Funds; (b) make dividend and other distributions to shareholders of the Funds; (c) effect transfers of shares; (d) mail communications to shareholders of the Funds, including account statements, confirmations, and dividend and distribution notices; (e) facilitate the electronic delivery of shareholder statements and reports and (f) maintain shareholder accounts. Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, Ultimus receives from the Trust an annual minimum fee per Fund, a fee based upon each shareholder account and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses.

 

Certain officers of the Funds are also officers of the Adviser. All access persons of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act, and members, officers and employees of the Adviser, follow strict guidelines and policies on personal trading as outlined in the Trust’s and the Adviser’s respective Code of Ethics.

 

The Trustees have appointed a Chief Compliance Officer who is also the Treasurer of the Trust and a partner of the Adviser. The Trustees agreed to have the Funds pay the portion of his compensation attributable for services rendered as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.

 

The Trust has a Trustee Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferral Plan”) which allows the Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Trustees fees. Under the Deferral Plan, Trustee fees are paid and invested directly into shares of the Funds elected by the Trustees in the Deferral Plan. There is no future liability related to the balance in the Deferral Plan as such amounts are paid directly out of the respective capital accounts of the elected Funds. The amount paid to the Trustees under the Deferral Plan will be determined based upon the performance of the elected funds. The balance in the Deferral Plan as of June 30, 2020 is $315,340.

 

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

 

A three-tier hierarchy has been established to measure fair value based on the extent of use of “observable inputs” as compared to “unobservable inputs” for disclosure purposes and requires additional disclosures about these valuation measurements. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing a security. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The three-tier hierarchy is summarized as follows:

 

1)

Level 1 – Unadjusted Quoted Prices in active markets for identical investments

 

2)

Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

3)

Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2020 in valuing the Funds’ assets:

Other financial instruments are derivative financial instruments not reflected in the Statement of Investments. These forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

 

For liabilities arising from overdrafts in the custody account, the carrying amount reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. As of June 30, 2020, the liability related to custody overdrafts in the Segall Bryant & Hamill Emerging Markets Fund, Segall Bryant & Hamill Quality High Yield Fund and Segall Bryant & Hamill Colorado Tax Free Fund are based on Level 2 inputs.

(1)

The investment adviser considers relevant indications of value that are reasonably and timely available to it in determining the fair value to be assigned to a particular security, such as the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. The Fund’s use of fair value pricing may cause the net asset value of Fund shares to differ from the net asset value that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

 

(2)

This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

For fair value measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2), the Funds utilize an independent pricing service which utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information, and for structured securities also incorporate cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. The independent pricing service’s evaluated pricing models apply available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, and sector groupings. For certain securities, the independent pricing service uses model processes, such as the Option Adjusted Spread (benchmark driven) model, to assess interest rate impact and develop prepayment scenarios. With respect to trades and bids, the independent pricing service reviews the lot size to determine whether the information is representative of an orderly trading market. If the independent pricing service determines that trade or bid information is not consistent with other information available, the trade or bid will not be reflected in the evaluated price.

 

Corporate bonds, Municipal bonds and U.S. Treasury bonds & notes are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Forward foreign currency contracts are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services.

 

In the event the independent pricing service is unable to provide an evaluated price for a security or the Adviser believes the price provided is not reliable, securities of the Funds may be valued in good faith as described above in Note 2. In these instances, the co-administrators will typically seek input from the investment team of the Fund since they are typically the most knowledgeable of the relevant factors in valuing

the securities. The Adviser may seek to find an alternative independent source, such as a broker/dealer to provide a price quote, or by using evaluated pricing models similar to the techniques and models used by the independent pricing service. These fair value measurement techniques may utilize unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

At least quarterly, the Adviser receives a report on the pricing for all fair valued securities during the period along with any actual sales prices, broker quotes and/or pricing from the independent pricing service. The Adviser uses this information to analyze changes in fair value measurements over the period and as a back test of pricing methods.

 

Then on at least a quarterly basis, the Adviser presents the factors considered in determining the fair value measurements and presents that information to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees which meets at least quarterly. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees then will provide a recommendation to the Board of Trustees for approval of the fair value measurements.

 

7. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

 

 

The Segall Bryant & Hamill Fundamental International Small Cap Fund may purchase or sell foreign currencies on a “spot” or cash basis at the prevailing rate in the foreign currency exchange market to settle investment transactions in the proper currency. In addition, this Fund may purchase or sell forward currency contracts to adjust the portfolio’s exposure to different currencies consistent with the investment team’s targets, which consider the currency weightings within the Fund’s benchmark index.

 

When entering into a spot or forward foreign currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued at each portfolio valuation, and the Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the contractual rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the spot or forward rates at the reporting date, is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses and change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation are included in the Statements of Operations. These instruments involve credit risk and market risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency exchange rates.

 

The Fund must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Fund had average forward foreign currency contract values to buy and sell of $17,063,455 and $10,796,592, respectively.

Change in Independent Auditor

 

June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Effective as of the close of business on May 21, 2020, Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds. The report of Deloitte on the Funds’ financial statements as of and for the fiscal year or period ended December 31, 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Funds’ most recent fiscal year or period, and through May 21, 2020, there were no disagreements between the Funds and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its report on the financial statements of the Funds for such year or period. During the Funds’ fiscal year or period ended December 31, 2019, there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).

 

During each Fund’s fiscal year or period ended December 31, 2019 and the subsequent interim period through August 19, 2020,neither the Funds, nor anyone on their behalf, consulted with Deloitte, on behalf of the Funds, regarding any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the instructions thereto, or a “reportable event,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

 

On August 19, 2020, upon the recommendation of the Funds’ Audit Committee, the Board of Trustees of the Funds approved the engagement of Cohen & Company, Ltd. (“Cohen”) as the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. The Board and its Audit Committee considered the engagement of Cohen in connection with the resignation of the Funds’ former independent registered accounting firm on May 21, 2020.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

(Unaudited)

 

Segall Bryant & Hamill Trust (“the Trust”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”), as consistent with Rule 22e-4 to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk for each Fund. The Program is overseen by Segall Bryant & Hamill, LLC (the “Adviser”). The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Adviser to oversee the Program.

 

The Program’s principal objectives include supporting each Fund’s compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence a Fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of the Fund’s investments into groupings that reflect the Adviser’s assessment of the relative liquidity under current market conditions.

 

At a meeting of the Board held on May 13, 2020, the Adviser provided a report (the “Report”) to the Board addressing the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of the Program, including any material changes to the Program for the period from the inception of the Trust’s program on December 1, 2018 through March 31, 2020 (“Reporting Period”). The Report concluded that the Trust’s Program was reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and was adequately and effectively implemented during the Reporting Period. There were no material changes to the Program during the Reporting Period. The Report further concluded that each Fund’s investment strategies continue to be appropriate given each Fund’s status as an open-end fund.

 

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Additional information regarding risks of investing in each of the Funds, including liquidity risks presented by each Fund’s investment portfolio, is found in the Trust’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
