That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds on this rung beat bottom-rung funds by about 3.8 points 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
Artisan Focus Fund earns an A grade and ranks 62nd out of 440 graded funds, with specialists backing 45% of the portfolio. Early positions in AMAT, LMT, and GEV stand out as the most forward-looking bets, while EW carries the highest weight among four fading names worth watching.
→ Monitor EW at 3.9% weight, as specialists are actively leaving that position and it is the largest fading holding.
→ Note the early conviction in AMAT and LMT, where proven specialists are still building, suggesting the fund may be genuinely ahead of consensus there.
