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.
10,000+ funds tracked · the graded specialists among them drive every read
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 a B grade, ranking 126 of 500, with specialists backing just under half the portfolio. The early story here is CAT and LMT, both in Emerging stage, while BNY, EW, and ISRG are all Fading, meaning specialists are quietly walking away from positions that together hold meaningful weight.
→ Watch BNY, EW, ISRG, and KRMN closely, as specialist exit from all four Fading positions totals roughly 10.8% of the fund.
→ The Emerging positions in CAT and LMT suggest the fund is genuinely early in industrials, worth monitoring for follow-through specialist conviction.
