OVERVIEW:
For all of the excitement that transpired in the 3rd quarter, it was remarkable that the U.S. equity market eked out a modest increase of 1.70% for the quarter, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. While the absolute returns continue to help extend the longest bull market on record, the rapidly-changing environment continues to increase the volatility in the market to whatever the flavor of the day is.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • Oil prices are being affected by the changing landscape in oil production and America’s role in cushioning the world markets from geopolitical supply shocks.
  • A resolution to the current trade dispute between the U.S. and China is expected within the next six months.
  • Additional interest rate cuts will have little effect on anxieties over trade uncertainty and delayed capital spending by corporations.

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.

OVERVIEW:
The S&P 500 Index posted its best 1st half of a calendar year since 1997, rising 18.54% from January 1 to June 30. As we have discussed previously, two main underlying forces – central banks and trade policies – continued to drive financial markets during the period and will likely continue to do so going forward.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • The world’s central banks have been extremely reluctant to increase short-term interest rates given persistently sluggish global growth.
  • For years, nations have used tariffs and regulations to protect internal businesses.
  • The Fed’s challenge in achieving its stated mandate is complicated by the uncertainty surrounding the trade dispute with China and other countries.

Fundamental Approach

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

OVERVIEW:
Equity markets produced a significant reversal in the 1st quarter of 2019 following one of the worst periods of performance to close out 2018. Much of the reversal in market sentiment was a result of the change in the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) policies, providing a more growth-friendly backdrop, combined with the anticipation that a U.S. – China trade deal is imminent.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • The current inverted yield curve is a signal that a recession may be near, but is certainly not guaranteed to occur.
  • There is continued potential for stocks to add to their now decade-long bull market run.
  • Modest growth in the U.S. has appeared to be robust only when compared to the global economy.

Also, we have included a special update on Britain’s exit from the European Union.

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.

OVERVIEW:
Worries about rising interest rates, the continuing trade friction between the U.S. and China, and geopolitical tensions tempered risk appetites among investors in the 4th quarter. For the first time since The Great Recession of 2008, the S&P 500 Index posted a loss for the year.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • Machine-trading, models, and passive investing formulas have created a herd
    mentality, which in turn contributed to the recent market volatility.
  • Companies will have to find other ways to provide earnings growth this year, following 2018’s one-time benefit, produced by the sweeping corporate tax cut.
  • The condition of the global economy and the resolution of trade disputes are two critical factors impacting stock prices and the probability of positive returns for 2019 in our view.

OVERVIEW:
With the holiday season quickly approaching, this is a positive indicator for consumer spending and could help the markets finish the year strong. However, the disparity between growth stocks and value stocks is perhaps the most glaring factor that could impact investors’ portfolio performance over the next 18 months.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • The Federal Reserve is continuing to raise interest rates and reduce its balance sheet in order to “normalize” the markets.
  • Europe’s uncertainty heading into 2019 and the ongoing volley of tariffs and trade disputes could impact the Fed’s estimated trajectory of the U.S. economy.
  • The disparity between growth stocks and value stocks is perhaps the most glaring factor that could impact investors’ portfolio performance over the next 18 months.

OVERVIEW:
Despite vast publicity in the media, many people don’t fully understand exactly what Bitcoin is in nontechnical terms. Many investors also question whether Bitcoin is riding a speculative wave that could soon collapse. We believe the price appreciation of Bitcoin is a temporary situation driven by pure speculation. If trading volume shrinks materially, the price of Bitcoin could drop to near zero.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • Bitcoin has made many headlines in the past year without a full
    understanding of the potential downfalls of the cryptocurrency.
  • There’s a “near zero” chance of Bitcoin overtaking the U.S. dollar as the world’s dominant currency.
  • We believe there are far more negatives than positives to Bitcoin and consider it a speculative bubble.

None of the Buffalo Funds invests in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurencies. As of 3/31/18 Visa was held by the Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund (2.60%), Growth Fund (2.08%), and Large Cap Fund (2.88%); no Buffalo Funds held Paypal.

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.
