- Segall Bryant & Hamill Colorado Tax Free Fund Retail Class (WTCOX) is a municipal bond mutual fund that seeks income exempt from both federal and Colorado state personal income taxes by investing at least 80% of its net assets in investment-grade Colorado municipal securities, including general obligation bonds, revenue bonds from health facilities, housing finance authorities, and metropolitan districts; supplemented by U.S. Treasury notes and bills for liquidity and stability. The fund emphasizes intermediate-term, high-quality holdings with moderate interest-rate sensitivity, targeting retail investors through a no-load share class with a net expense ratio of 0.65% and a minimum initial investment of $2,500. Launched on May 31, 1991, it is managed by Nicholas Foley since May 2016 and forms part of the fixed-income offerings of CI Segall Bryant & Hamill (SBH), an independent investment manager founded in 1994 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with additional offices in Denver, Colorado; Chesterfield, Missouri; Naples, Florida; and Ardmore, Pennsylvania.
CI Segall Bryant & Hamill, the fund's adviser and a subsidiary of CI Financial Corp., provides a broad range of equity, fixed-income, and alternative strategies to institutional clients such as endowments, foundations, corporations, and public funds, as well as wealth management platforms serving high-net-worth individuals across the U.S. and select foreign markets. The firm operates primarily in the investment management industry, with geographic focus in North America and total assets under management exceeding $23 billion as of late 2023.
In recent developments, CI Financial Corp., the ultimate parent of CI SBH, went private through an acquisition by Mubadala Capital completed on August 12, 2025, at C$32.00 per share in a $4.7 billion equity deal that valued the enterprise at approximately $12.1 billion, enhancing resources for U.S. growth while maintaining SBH's client-centric strategies. Earlier, CI Financial acquired SBH in 2021, significantly expanding its U.S. asset base to over $46 billion at the time and integrating SBH's RIA and institutional platforms. The firm also expanded its institutional relations team in 2023 to support growing demand for customized solutions.
