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.
