Abstract: We investigate the finiteness structure of a complete non-compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ whose radial curvature at a base point of $M$ is bounded from below by that of a non-compact von Mangoldt surface of revolution with its total curvature greater than $pi$. We show, as our main theorem, that all Busemann functions on $M$ are exhaustions, and that there exists a compact subset of $M$ such that the compact set contains all critical points for any Busemann function on $M$. As corollaries by the main theorem, $M$ has finite topological type, and the isometry group of $M$ is compact.
