WTSDX Investment Objective and Strategy

Segall Bryant & Hamill Smid Cap Value Dividend Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Segall Bryant & Hamill Trust.

Investment objective

"The Segall Bryant & Hamill Smid Cap Value Dividend Fund (the ""Fund"") seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation."

Principal investment strategy

" The Fund emphasizes investments in dividend-paying, small- and medium sized companies that the portfolio management team believes to be undervalued based upon various financial measures/ratios and rigorous company-specific research and analysis. Under normal circumstances, at least eighty percent (80%) of the value of the Fund's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, is invested in small- and medium-capitalization dividend-paying companies. The Fund currently considers ""small-capitalization companies"" to be those included in, or similar in size to, those included in the Russell 2000 Value Index at the time of purchase. As of the most recent ""reconstitution"" of the Russell 2000 Value Index on June 26, 2017, its capitalization range was $37.5 million to $4.7 billion. As of March 31, 2018, the weighted average market capitalization of the Russell 2000 Value Index was approximately $2.0 billion.

The Fund currently considers ""medium-capitalization companies"" to be those included in, or similar in size to, those included the Russell Midcap Value Index at the time of purchase. As of the most recent ""reconstitution"" of the Russell Midcap Value Index on June 26, 2017, its capitalization range was $1.8 billion to $31.1 billion. As of March 31, 2018, the weighted average market capitalization of the Russell Midcap Value Index was approximately $14.0 billion. As of March 31, 2018, the weighted average market capitalization of the companies within the Fund's portfolio was approximately $5.6 billion. Please note that these market capitalization measures will fluctuate over time. The team implements an investment strategy that is based on the belief that the market rewards companies over time for free cash flow rather than reported earnings.

The strategy utilizes a bottom-up approach, which is grounded in independent fundamental research. The team seeks to invest in companies in which the future free cash flow and return on invested capital appear to be undervalued by the market. The team constructs a portfolio designed to generate alpha, or risk-adjusted excess return, relative to the Fund's benchmark, primarily through stock selection. Through a combination of proprietary, sector-specific quantitative screening and independent fundamental analysis, the team seeks to identify and thoroughly assess the key value-creating drivers for a company. The team researches companies in which the early fundamental improvement in free cash flow appears sustainable and not yet recognized by the market. The team seeks to develop an in-depth understanding of the economics of the business and sustainability of a company's competitive advantage by gathering information about the company's product(s) or service(s) by talking to sources including customers, suppliers, competitors, and other industry contacts.

The goal of the team's process is to invest in cash-generative companies at attractive valuations. The team values companies based primarily on a proprietary discounted cash flow model, using estimates derived from its proprietary research. The team seeks to manage risk through its valuation discipline and through in-depth fundamental research and portfolio structure. With respect to portfolio structure, the team constructs the portfolio with a blend of what it believes are the most attractive investment opportunities within its small-cap value strategy and its mid-cap value strategy. The team maintains the portfolio's exposure to most sectors within the benchmark; however, with an active management process, there will be variances in sector exposure relative to the benchmark index. The team maintains guidelines to monitor this variance.

The Fund expects to only invest in securities of companies whose stock is traded on U.S. markets, including depositary receipts or shares issued by companies incorporated outside of the United States (e.g., ADRs). Stocks may be sold when conditions have changed and the company's prospects are no longer attractive, its stock price has achieved the team's valuation target or better relative investment opportunities have been identified."
