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

May 17, 2021

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.

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.
