"Baird Advisors, the institutional fixed income investment management division of Baird, announced that it has hired a nationally-recognized municipal investment team from BMO Global Asset Management. Municipal bond portfolio managers Duane McAllister, CFA, and Erik Schleicher and analyst Joseph Czechowicz will join Baird."
"Baird expects to expand its municipal product offerings with additional municipal strategies. Said [Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer] Stanek, "While this is an opportunity to add to our municipal offering, we do not intend to change our existing strategies and funds." "
These guys are pretty fine. Since Baird has an Investor share class for quite a few funds, not a stretch to expect to gain some access to their talents , if you're into their thing. Perhaps they'll create and take charge of something new.
Probably most notable work at BMO: Intermediate Tax-Free (Y shares)
