Read our view on the economy and key drivers of change in the global equity markets.

Date Published:
April 2022

Pages:

OVERVIEW:

A number of existing issues continue to weigh on markets, including the extraordinary monetary and fiscal stimulus measures taken to boost the economy amidst the COVID pandemic, as well as new issues such as the war in Ukraine. Disruption from the war and sanctions on Russia will exacerbate the supply-side inflationary problems worldwide in the near-term. However, the labor market remains strong, as are consumer balance sheets, and there is still a lot of pent up consumer demand for a range of products and services.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • Resurgent variants of COVID and the war in Ukraine have added to the existing uncertainty in the markets, buoyed by an inverted yield curve signaling a potential looming recession.
  • However, the labor market remains strong, as are consumer balance sheets, and there is still a lot of pent up consumer demand.
  • The Federal Reserve will try to manage a soft landing, bringing inflation under control with as little damage to the economy as possible.

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.

Managing Client Expectations in a Volatile Market

Managing Client Expectations in a Volatile Market

Managing Client Expectations in a Volatile Market

Setting expectations now will help shepherd clients through any period of market volatility, including bear and bull markets, corrections, or short-term recessions.
We believe the best advice an advisor can give a client is to show them that time in the market, not market timing, is one of the best ways to capitalize on stock market gains.

That’s why it’s so important for financial advisors and their clients to agree on a plan now and set realistic expectations for the inevitable market fluctuations.

In this updated white paper from the Buffalo Funds, we discuss the following concepts:

  • Keep Things in Perspective – Bull or Bear, No Market Has Lasted Forever
  • Keep Teaching but Start Coaching
  • Communication is the Foundation of an Advisor’s Value Proposition
  • Control What You Can

“Great advisors know that clients reward those who can manage their investments, their expectations, and their emotions.”

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

Overview
Buffalo Funds Large Cap portfolio manager Ken Laudan recently appeared on the “Money Life with Chuck Jaffe” podcast.

During the call, Ken goes in-depth on large-cap investing, providing an overview of his investment methodology, and also provides his thoughts on the following companies:

  • Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW)
  • ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML)
  • MongoDB (NASDAQ: MDB)
  • DocuSign (NASDAQ: DOCU)
  • Block (NYSE: SQ)
  • PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL)
  • Restoration Hardware (NYSE: RH)
  • Medtronic (NYSE: MDT)
  • Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON)

We continue to follow a very well defined investment template for investing in what we call innovative, high quality, durable, large cap growth companies. We do tweak the portfolio to reflect a de-risk environment, while continuing to own some of these high quality durable growth names that we think will be beneficiaries of these major, super cycles over the next 5 to 10 years.

~ Ken Laudan, Portfolio Manager, Buffalo Large Cap Fund
