Even small differences in fees can add up over the years and may affect overall portfolio growth.

• Expense ratios inside mutual funds and ETFs
• Advisory or management fees
• Account and transaction costs

📊 The key isn't avoiding fees altogether—it's understanding what you're paying and why.

Taking time to review your accounts and ask questions can help ensure your investment strategy aligns with your goals.

There's been a lot of meaningful new beginnings at Buffalo Financial lately.

Earlier this season, we shared the joyful arrival of baby Iris for our President, Matthew Pitrola and his family—and we're equally excited to now celebrate another special milestone.

Our Vice President, Tyler Sacco, and his wife Haley welcomed baby Bella last month, and we couldn't be happier for their growing family as Tyler officially joins "Team Dad."

Moments like these are a reminder of how important it is to celebrate life's milestones—especially at the beginning of a long journey. Whether personal or professional, it's those early chapters that often shape the road ahead.

We're grateful to share in these moments of joy with our team and their families. Welcome, Bella!

Here are a few key reminders:

• Workplace plans (like 401(k)s) may allow additional catch-up contributions beyond standard limits
• IRAs also offer extra contribution opportunities for those 50+
• Contribution limits can change year to year—staying informed matters

Even small increases in contributions today can make a meaningful difference over time.

📅 Now is a great time to review your strategy and make sure you're aligned with your long-term goals.

Buffalo Financial's Q2 2026 newsletter (linked below) provides a timely overview of current market conditions, interest rate trends, and key planning considerations for investors approaching or in retirement.

This edition examines how ongoing geopolitical developments, including conflict-driven energy volatility, may impact inflation, equity markets, and fixed income positioning. The report outlines two potential economic scenarios—de-escalation versus prolonged conflict—and highlights how each may influence portfolio considerations across sectors such as energy, defense, technology, and consumer spending.

Investors will also find a detailed fixed income update, including recent movements in Treasury yields and shifting expectations for Federal Reserve policy.

In addition, this issue addresses common retirement planning topics relevant to individuals age 55 and older, including strategies for managing multiple retirement accounts ("orphan IRAs"), considerations around account consolidation, and the importance of aligning investment allocations with long-term goals and required minimum distributions (RMDs).

The newsletter also introduces new tax-advantaged savings vehicles and discusses broader financial planning themes to help investors stay informed in a changing economic environment.
