Webinar – “Dividend Funds: Do We Even Need Bonds?”

Webinar – “Dividend Funds: Do We Even Need Bonds?”

Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund (BUFDX / BUIDX) co-portfolio manager Jeff Deardorff, CFA, recently appeared on a webinar hosted by CFRA Research and Dividend.com with the topic “Dividend Funds: Do We Even Need Bonds?” Moderated by Todd Rosenbluth, Head of EFT and Mutual Fund Research at CFRA Research, the webinar discussed the benefits of dividend investing, the current low interest rate environment, and the rotation by investors into stocks to find income through dividends.

During Jeff’s presentation, he discussed his team’s investment approach for the Buffalo Dividend Fund portfolio and ultimately answers the question “Do we even need bonds?” Jeff ends his presentation with a case study on Citizens Financial Group. Some of the main points Jeff covered included:

  • Dividend growers historically have performed well with less volatility.
  • Dividends may offer competitive yields relative to fixed income during periods of low interest rates.
  • Dividend payout ratios are well below historical averages.
  • Historically high levels of corporate cash bode well for future dividend increases.
  • Dividend payers can be found in a wide variety of industries including technology.

We are careful to not just look for the highest yield and dividend stocks, because oftentimes that’s a signal the company is actually underperforming and the current dividend may not be sustainable.
~ Jeff Deardorff, CFA, Co-Portfolio Manager, Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund

Finding Small-Cap Innovators in Technology

Craig Richard, Buffalo Early Stage Growth Fund co-portfolio manager, was recently interviewed by The Wall Street Transcript where he discusses IPOs and being overweight in the technology sector. He also shares his thoughts on investing in early stage growth companies, highlighting several examples of companies in the Fund’s portfolio.

Diversification does not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market.

Active investing has higher management fees because of the manager’s increased level of involvement while passive investing has lower management and operating fees. Investing in both actively and passively managed mutual funds involves risk and principal loss is possible. Both actively and passively managed mutual funds generally have daily liquidity. There are no guarantees regarding the performance of actively and passively managed mutual funds. Actively managed mutual funds may have higher portfolio turnover than passively managed funds. Excessive turnover can limit returns and can incur capital gains.
