Overview

Buffalo Funds Small Cap co-portfolio manager Jamie Cuellar, CFA, was recently interviewed by The Wall Street Transcript, where he discussed how his team analyzes small-cap company valuations and why they view the asset class as very inefficient. He also provides several examples of companies within his portfolio that highlight his team’s investment strategy at work:

• Twilio (NYSE:TWLO)
• Mimecast (NASDAQ:MIME)
• CoreCivic (NYSE:CXW)
• MasTec (NYSE:MTZ)

Jamie also gave his outlook on small-cap companies in the United States in the coming year, including the impact of the current economy, the recent tax cuts, and the repatriation of corporate cash holdings back to the United States.

“We believe that by investing in an actively managed and diversified portfolio of companies that benefit from long-term industrial, technological or general market trends, and trading at attractive valuations, are going to lead to superior growth of capital over time.“ ~ Jamie Cuellar, CFA, Co-Portfolio Manager, Buffalo Small Cap Fund
