That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds on this rung beat bottom-rung funds by about 3.8% per quarter, and beat the S&P in 43% of fund-quarters versus their 22%. The evidence argues this fund earns its seat.

The grade scores this fund's specialist share, the slice that overlaps what the top 1% of proven funds are building. We ignore index ballast and names outside our edge on purpose: that slice is small, and it's what decides the outcome.

The read · what to do with it
ARKK earns a C grade, ranking 243 of 500, while higher graded funds exist in both its family and segment. Specialists hold 34% but are actively leaving its two biggest positions, Tesla at 9.7% and CRSP at 5%. The 0.75% fee is a real cost to carry for a fund where fading names outweigh early ones.
→ Watch Tesla and CRSP closely, as specialist exit from your two largest weights is a concrete warning sign worth tracking.
→ Compare ARKK's 0.75% fee against the three higher graded segment peers before your next review, given the C grade.
