About BUFOX

The Buffalo Early Stage Growth Fund is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital appreciation. Its primary strategy is to invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities—including common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants, and rights—of companies defined as early stage growth companies. These firms typically have market capitalizations below the weighted average of the Russell 2000 Growth Index and are at the forefront of developing or newly introducing products or services. The fund employs both top-down and bottom-up research processes, leveraging proprietary analysis to identify promising opportunities among small and emerging businesses across a broad range of sectors such as industrials, financial services, consumer discretionary, and healthcare. While its core holdings are domestic, the fund may allocate up to 20% of its assets to foreign securities through ADRs or U.S.-listed equities. Managed by Buffalo Funds since 2004, the fund is recognized for its disciplined approach and aims to capitalize on secular growth trends while maintaining a diversified portfolio within the small growth category.
