Segall Bryant & Hamill
I'm a junior at a non-target who's been networking his ass off for AM and PWM.
Anyways, something came through the grapevine, and I was informed that Segall Bryant & Hamill (SBH) is having a networking brunch in my area (it's in two weeks). I had never heard of the company, so I did some research. It's a boutique AM, PWM, and FA shop based out of Chicago.
So, does anyone know anything about this firm? There doesn't seem to be a lot of info about them. What are the FT probabilities? The exit opps? The culture?
I interviewed with them for an analyst role (i.e. experienced hire / post MBA). At least on the research side it's a pretty small team. They seemed to be focused mostly on U.S. small and midcap companies. I just looked at their website and it appears they added an international team since I interviewed, but I'm assuming this was a lift out from another firm so it's probably a separately run team.
Culture seemed ok and the top guys are pretty well connected in the Chicago IM scene. I think it's such a small research department that fit would be really important.
In terms of exit opps, it would probably be to another buy side firm or research department at a brokerage. However, both these industries are under a lot of pressure, so it would be difficult to speculate what the exit opportunity set would be long term. You do have an awesome set of investment managers within a mile radius of their office, which provides a decent exit opp in its own right.
I talked to someone with a lot of sway over recruiting there. She said they don't have a formal internship program, and it's usually done on an ad hoc, as needed basis. Nonetheless, she offered to pass along my cover letter and resume to the heads of their Asset Management group. Guess we'll see what this brunch is all about.
Thanks for your answer.
