Neuberger most recently served as president of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, part of U.S. Bank. A U.S. Bank spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Kornitzer lauds Neuberger and Symon Browne as "the right leaders for KCM and Buffalo Funds."

"Their extensive financial services and leadership experience will help KCM carry on its long-term mission of helping private clients and institutions achieve their long-term financial goals," Kornitzer states.

Symon Browne, for her part, praises Gasaway and the Buffalo Funds team as "patient, disciplined, and dedicated to long-term client success and personalized services."

"Their commitment to solid, intelligent research is a strong strategy to help achieve long-term financial success for clients," Symon Browne states.

Neuberger praises the KCM team for their "focus on integrity and honesty."

"John's leadership legacy has created a deep talent bench of committed investment professionals," Neuberger states.
