SBH is an $8.5 bn AUM Chicago-based investment management firm whose top decile performance in Small Cap U.S. equity and U.S. Core Fixed Income strategies has garnered attention from foreign and U.S. pension plan sponsors.

Prior to joining SBH in 2009, Baeckelandt was a Principal and the U.S. Business Leader for the Analytics and Research Group at Mercer Investment Consulting. Still earlier (1994-2002) Baeckelandt set up and ran the Japan business of investment manager William Blair & Co. This was the first foreign, duallicensed, investment advisory firm in Japan. Baeckelandt began his career selling investment management services to Japanese transplants in the U.S. for the predecessor banks of Mitsubishi UFJ (1988-1994).

Baeckelandt has spoken on subjects connecting history and finance as an invited speaker at U.S. and Japanese universities (Northwestern's Kellogg School, University of Chicago's Booth School, Indiana's Kelly School, Konan University, and others), collectors' clubs (Chicago Coin Club, International Bond & Share Society, Midwest Numismatics, etc.), non-profits (The AKAMAI Foundation, The Japan America Society) and foreign affiliated groups (The Flanders DC Club, The Belgian Club of Northern California, The Belgian American Club of Chicago, The Belgian American Association, De Orde van den Prince, etc.).

Baeckelandt has published more than three dozen articles on the nexus of finance and history (primarily in The Journal of Financial History, Scripophily, Paper Money , etc.). Separately, Baeckelandt recently published Japanese Financial Art, which offers an overview of the history of Japanese scripophily (stock and bond certificates). The proceeds of this book go to the Japan America Society of Chicago. Earlier, Baeckelandt published Hawaiian Financial Art, which explores Honolulu's history as a financial center and the contributions of the Hawaiian Islands to scripophily (proceeds donated to the AKAMAI Foundation). Baeckelandt's current work in progress is called Chicago's Financial Firsts, and is a survey of financial innovations that can be traced to Chicago.
