Strategy
The Buffalo Growth Fund invests in U.S. based companies that are beneficiaries of global growth trends. We seek well positioned and well managed U.S. growth companies that stand to benefit from international expansion and emerging markets' growth. We believe that U.S. based companies born into our free market economy and honed by the capitalistic process produce products and services that compete extremely well in global markets. And, on a long term basis, we believe that the emerging markets are going to be a significant driver of global GDP (gross domestic product) growth. This should enable select US companies to benefit from global infrastructure growth and the emerging middle classes in foreign markets.
