Buffalo Funds Introduces Institutional Class Shares

July 1, 2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

MISSION, Kan. – Kornitzer Capital Management (KCM), investment advisor to the Buffalo Funds, is pleased to announce the launch of an Institutional Class of shares, which are available to eligible investors who meet an initial investment minimum of $250,000 or with no initial or subsequent investment minimums, to:

  • Retirement plans such as 401(a), 401(k) or 457 plans;
  • Certain IRAs if the amounts invested represent rollover distributions from investments by any of the retirement plans invested in the Funds;
  • Registered investment advisers investing on behalf of clients in exchange for an advisory, management or consulting fee;
  • Wrap fee programs of certain broker-dealers.

The new share class became effective on July 1, 2019.

Christopher Crawford, Director of Advisor Relationships, commented, “The decision to launch institutional shares is in response to the ever-evolving investment marketplace and the desire to meet client expectations to the greatest extent possible. In short, institutional shares should increase the marketability of the funds going forward and help to ensure Buffalo Funds ability to thrive long into the future.”

“The introduction of this institutionally-priced share class reaffirms our commitment to align with customer interests,“ said Clay Brethour, CFA, Buffalo Funds President. “The Institutional Class refines our offerings and provides investors access to Buffalo Funds’ specialized investment capabilities, while matching their liquidity and fee requirements.”

The Institutional Class was added for all 10 mutual funds in the Buffalo Funds family, with new ticker symbols and CUSIP numbers. Financial intermediaries and shareholders should check their custodial platforms to see if the new share class is available for purchase. Current investors who qualified for the new share class as of July 1 had their shares automatically converted to the new Institutional Class.
