“Money Life Market Call” with Buffalo Discovery Fund PM Ken Laudan

Overview

Buffalo Discovery Fund co-portfolio manager Ken Laudan recently appeared on the “Money Life with Chuck Jaffe” podcast.

During the call, Ken goes in-depth on healthcare investing and provides an overview of his investment methodology. He also covers the current state of the healthcare companies developing the COVID-19 vaccines. Ken also provides thoughts on the following companies:

  • Avantor (NYSE: AVTR)
  • Hologic (NASDAQ: HOLX)
  • Pfizer (NYSE: PFE)
  • AstraZeneca (NASDAQ: AZN)
  • Merck (NYSE: MRK)
  • BioMarin Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BMRN)
  • Centene (NYSE: CNC)
  • Seagen (NASDAQ: SGEN)
  • Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY)

Going from a vaccine discovery point in March to a commercial product in December is stunning; whether that is replicable post COVID I’m dubious, but it’s certainly a positive thing because I just don’t think we’ll have the type of accommodating FDA that we had seen with respect to the vaccine.

Bloomberg Podcast “What Goes Up” with Buffalo Small Cap Fund PM Jamie Cuellar

Overview

Buffalo Funds Small Cap co-portfolio manager Jamie Cuellar, CFA, recently appeared on the Bloomberg podcast “What Goes Up”. Hosts Mike Regan and Sarah Ponczek are joined each week by expert guests to discuss the main themes influencing global markets.

Many investors, like most Americans, have been fixated on the political drama of this year’s presidential election. But when it comes to picking stocks, Jamie Cuellar has kept his eye on the longer term. Cuellar joins the latest episode of the “What Goes Up” podcast to discuss the election, his fund’s strategy, and why small companies are still an opportunity for active fund managers to show their value in a climate that’s more and more dominated by passive and smart-beta strategies.

During the call, Jamie goes in-depth on small-cap investing as an asset class, growth vs value, the intersection of politics and the markets going post-election, and the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the markets.

How we manage money has very little to do with who’s in the White House. The way we invest with our process really depends on the underlying long-term trends that we see impacting the companies we invest in. That’s not going to change regardless of who’s in the White House or how much controversy there is in politics going on at the time.

“Industry Perspectives” 3Q 2020

“Industry Perspectives” 3Q 2020

Letter to Shareholders

October 2020

As we approach the end of a tumultuous year, our economy is still reeling under the effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, even with many parts of the country reopening to a “new normal” of face masks and limited public interaction. The upcoming Presidential election will add even more uncertainty to the markets, especially if Biden wins the election. While we can’t know for sure how the election will turn out or the long-lasting effects the pandemic will have on the global economy, we do know all we can do is prepare as best we can for whichever scenarios play out.

Here at the Buffalo Funds we remain diligent in our fight to keep our employees safe from the coronavirus. Most of our staff is still working from home. While historically we’ve held in-person meetings with company management teams and discussed new investment opportunities in our office, the advent of remote video conferencing has allowed us to operate normally. Our portfolio managers and analysts have a lengthy research call every Monday afternoon, and we have due diligence calls with companies nearly every day. Our message is that productivity remains high and it shows in the results of the Buffalo Funds year-to-date.

With Congressional and the Presidential elections just a week away, the possibility of a reacceleration of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and parts of Europe, and the highly debated shape and strength of the U.S. economic recovery off the bottom – our crystal ball is particularly cloudy. Therefore, we have decided to make our quarterly newsletter very brief. In our year-end letter we will provide our normal outlook for growth of U.S. and global GDP (gross domestic product), interest rates, inflation, unemployment, oil prices, tax rates, corporate profits, government spending, the value of the U.S. dollar, and stock valuations. We will also offer our own healthcare manager’s latest expert view on the status of vaccines and expected longevity of the pandemic. All the above factors will play a role in our outlook for the stock market in 2021 and beyond.

November’s election will eventually provide resolution, COVID-19 will eventually become managed, and a sense of normalcy will eventually return. Until then, your team at the Buffalo Funds remains tenacious in working hard for you this quarter, next year, and in the decades beyond. We sincerely hope you are able to return to at least some of your family’s holiday traditions this Fall and Winter, whether they be in-person or virtual.

Sincerely,

Buffalo Funds Portfolio Management Team
