Riding Trends in Power Security, Orthopedic Products, and Wireless Towers

Buffalo Funds Discovery co-portfolio manager Dave Carlsen, CFA, was recently interviewed by The Wall Street Transcript where he discusses growth drivers for companies in several sectors, including power grid security, orthopedic products, and wireless towers. He also cites several examples of companies within the Fund’s portfolio that highlight the team’s investment strategy at work:

  • Generac Holdings (NYSE:GNRC)
  • Zimmer Biomet Holdings (NYSE:ZBH)
  • SBA Communications Corporation (NASDAQ:SBAC)
  • Medtronic PLC (NYSE:MDT)
  • T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS)

We think midcap companies strike the balance between being small enough to grow for an extended period of time, while also being established enough to avoid the business model disruption that can occur when the economy hits a soft patch. ~ Dave Carlsen, CFA, Co-Portfolio Manager, Buffalo Discovery Fund

“This Small-Cap Fund Is Performing Big”

Buffalo Small Cap Fund co-portfolio manager Jamie Cuellar, CFA, was recently featured in an article in Financial Advisor magazine, discussing the future growth potential of small cap stocks. Jamie also discusses growth vs value investing in small cap companies and why they have significantly outperformed value stocks in recent years.

I think more people are willing to step out on the risk curve given that interest rates are low and the economy is improving, and some people are rotating into small caps because of that. ~ Jamie Cuellar, CFA

The article also goes into the Small Cap Fund’s team approach to the companies held in the Fund, and Jamie identified several companies within the Fund’s portfolio that exemplify their investment philosophy:

  • Kornit Digital – KRNT (NASDAQ)
  • Bandwidth Inc. – BAND (NASDAQ)
  • ICF International – ICFI (NASDAQ)

Read our view on the economy and key drivers of change in the global equity markets.

Date Published:
January 2021

Pages:

OVERVIEW:
The impact of the COVID-19 virus has been seen throughout all sectors of the economy and government, but we foresee robust U.S. economic growth starting in the second half of 2021. During the post-vaccination period this year, pent-up demand for virtually everything outside of home will provide a springboard for a dramatic economic recovery.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • We believe the mainstay of a healthy stock market in 2021 will be profits, not lower interest rates and their accompanying higher price-to-earnings ratios.
  • We see robust U.S. economic growth starting the second half of 2021, with the stock market producing a positive, but more modest return this year.
  • Sometime this year COVID-19 risk will fade, relations with our allies and rivals will improve, global GDP growth will rise sharply, and a pickup in inflation could become a possibility.

Fundamental Approach

We get to know the companies we invest in and learn how they run their business.

Top-Down & Bottom-Up

We identify Top-Down broad, secular growth trends and search for companies from the Bottom-Up.

Proprietary Philosophy

We construct our portfolios based on our own proprietary investment strategy.

Disciplined Investing

Sticking to our disciplined investment strategy ensures we maintain a consistent, balanced approach.
