- Segall Bryant & Hamill Small Cap Value Fund Retail Class (SBRVX) is an actively managed open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization companies, defined as those similar in size to the Russell 2000 Value Index constituents; the fund employs a value-oriented investment approach utilizing fundamental research to identify undervalued small-cap stocks across sectors including financial services, industrials, consumer cyclical, technology, and healthcare, with top holdings such as Valmont Industries Inc., REV Group Inc., Mercury Systems Inc., AZZ Inc., and Ingevity Corp. The Retail Class, with ticker SBRVX, features a net expense ratio of 1.14%, a minimum initial investment of $2,500, and daily pricing, complementing the Institutional Class share offering; it maintains a portfolio with 94.55% U.S. stocks, 3.37% non-U.S. stocks, and 2.09% cash, targeting wealth management, intermediary, and institutional investors. Managed by Mark Dickherber and Shaun Nicholson since 2013, the fund is part of the broader suite of strategies offered by CI Segall Bryant & Hamill (CI SBH), an independent investment management firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with additional offices in Denver, Colorado; Chesterfield, Missouri; Ardmore, Pennsylvania; and Naples, Florida, serving geographically diverse clients across the U.S. and foreign countries.
CI Segall Bryant & Hamill, the fund's investment adviser and a subsidiary of CI Financial Corp., provides a range of domestic equity, fixed income, balanced, and alternative investment strategies through mutual funds like the Small Cap Value Fund, All Cap Fund, and collective investment trusts including the International Small Cap Trust and Emerging Markets Trust; services encompass separately managed accounts, sub-advisory relationships, and customized portfolio solutions for high-net-worth individuals, foundations, endowments, corporations, public funds, and multi-employer plans. In recent years, the firm underwent a major acquisition by CI Financial in 2021, which doubled CI's U.S. assets to approximately $46.1 billion and integrated SBH's $23.1 billion platform while preserving its autonomous investment teams and client-centric approach; this was followed by CI Financial's privatization in 2025 through a $4.7 billion equity deal with Mubadala Capital, valuing the enterprise at $12.1 billion and marking a strategic shift to private ownership. Operationally, CI SBH continued expanding its mutual fund offerings and sub-advisory roles, including a new sub-advisory agreement approved in March 2025 for variable portfolio products, and made new investments such as a stake in the iShares Core Dividend ETF in September 2024, reflecting ongoing diversification and adaptation to market dynamics amid assets under management reaching $16.1 billion as of 2025 rankings.
