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

Date Published:
July 2021

Pages:

OVERVIEW:
There are definitely parallels between the recent deep COVID-19 led recession and the 2008-2009 version. In both cases, central banks and governments pumped money into their economies through various stimulus measures. And in both cases, as the economies recovered, there were concerns about the Fed turning off the tap and the risk of rising inflation.

In this latest Industry Perspectives, we discuss:

  • The Federal Reserve taper tantrums are typically minor and short-term in nature.
  • At present we would view a meaningful correction in the stock market as a buying opportunity.
  • Some worry exists if treasury yields were to rise much higher than our current thoughts.

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.

“Money Life Market Call” with Buffalo Small Cap Fund PM Jamie Cuellar

Overview

Buffalo Funds Small Cap co-portfolio manager Jamie Cuellar, CFA, recently appeared on the “Money Life with Chuck Jaffe” podcast.

During the call, Jamie goes in-depth on small-cap investing and provides an overview of his investment methodology. He also covers the current state of investing in small-cap technology and healthcare companies. Jamie also provides thoughts on the following companies:

  • ADTRAN (NASDAQ: ADTN)
  • Everi Holdings (NYSE: EVRI)
  • Castle Biosciences (NASDAQ: CSTL)
  • Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE)
  • Vail Resorts (NYSE: MTN)
  • GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY)
  • MasTec (NYSE: MTZ)

A lot of times we do see some growth names that get oversold, companies that we like a lot, and it gives us a good opportunity to buy those names at better prices or even buy some of those names that we missed on the way up.

For Institutional Class performance prior to 7/1/19, performance of the Investor Class shares is used and includes expenses not applicable and lower than those of Investor Class shares. Average annual total return represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. Fund performance current to the most recent month-end may be lower or higher than the performance quoted and can be found here. Standardized quarter-end performance can be obtained here.

Opinions expressed are those of the author or Funds as of 5/14/21 and are subject to change, are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics. The weights are: 100% 3-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% 5-year rating/40% 3-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% 5-year rating/20% 3-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent 3-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all 3 rating periods. The Buffalo Small Cap Fund (BUFSX) received 5 stars among 576 for the Overall, 4 stars among 576 for the 3-year, 4 stars among 503 for the 5-year, and 4 stars among 379 Small Growth funds for the 10-year period ending 3/31/21. © 2021 Morningstar, Inc.
