Flexible Allocation Fund

BUFBX | BUIBX

BALANCING GROWTH, INCOME, & RISK

“Our investment strategy seeks to generate yield for any investor needing monthly income with capital appreciation, and we use many methods to address potential downside risks.”

The Buffalo Flexible Allocation Fund can invest in both debt and equity securities with the expectation that the mix changes over time based on the Fund manager’s view of economic conditions and the value of the securities the Fund holds. It is designed to reduce the potential volatility of returns.”
