Morningstar’s Take by David Kathman, CFA 02-02-15 Buffalo Mid Cap is undergoing a manager shift after another tough year. On Jan. 17, 2015, advisor Kornitzer Capital Management announced several management changes in the Buffalo funds. Kent Gasaway, who has comanaged this fund with Bob Male since its 2001 inception, is stepping away to focus on Buffalo Small Cap BUFSX, the firm’s struggling $3 billion flagship fund. (The firm also hired Jamie Cuellar, formerly of the PineBridge funds, as new comanager of Small Cap.) Male’s new comanager here is Dave Carlsen, who has comanaged Buffalo Growth BUFGX and Buffalo Discovery BUFTX for the past decade. These management shifts aren’t likely to result in dramatic changes for this fund. Carlsen says he plans to bring more valuation discipline to the portfolio and to take a more tactical approach, though it remains to be seen exactly what that will mean in practice. Buffalo Discovery has put up strong results over the decade that Calsen has helped manage it, though it was a technology sector fund until 2012, so those

results are only partially relevant. These moves come on the heels of a five-year stretch of mediocre to poor relative returns, which have been all the more disappointing given the strong results the fund posted in its early years. To some extent, this recent weakness has resulted from the managers’ unwillingness to own the riskiest, lowest-quality mid-cap growth stocks during a period when risk has mostly been rewarded by the market. There have been some missteps, such as 2011’s bad bet on for-profit education stocks and energy-related stocks that got hit in 2014 by falling oil prices. The fund shouldn’t be judged too harshly for the past five years, especially given that the same strategy led to mostly stellar returns in the fund’s first eight years of existence. But Male is the only one of the managers responsible for that performance who is still on the fund, after the retirement of Grant Sarris in 2013 and now Gasaway’s shift. That fact creates enough uncertainty to drop the fund’s Morningstar Analyst Rating to Neutral from Bronze.
