In order to make the list, funds must have outperformed in all four time periods.

“We’re honored that our Discovery Fund has been recognized in this way by IBD. This fund exemplifies our firm’s goal of consistently delivering strong risk-adjusted performance to our shareholders,“ said Clay Brethour, president of the Buffalo Funds and co-manager of the Buffalo Discovery Fund.
The Buffalo Discovery Fund is managed by Clay Brethour and Dave Carlsen, a team that has been in place since 2004.
Originally launched in 2001 as the Science & Technology Fund, the Discovery Fund has consistently delivered benchmark-beating performance since inception, with a focus on innovation as a key driver in their outperformance.
