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
BIAGX earns a B grade with specialists making up about 42% of its backing, which is a decent signal. The early story here is PANW and COST, where the fund is genuinely ahead of the crowd. Five sizable positions including AVGO, GOOG, ISRG, NFLX, and UBER are all showing specialist exits, which is a real weight on the thesis.
→ Watch the combined 20.7% sitting in fading positions, particularly AVGO and GOOG, for signs of further specialist retreat.
→ Note that PANW and COST represent the fund's clearest early-stage edge and are worth tracking as specialist conviction develops.
