That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds with this little specialist backing trailed top-rung funds by about 3.8 points per quarter and beat the S&P in only 22% of fund-quarters. If it also charges an active fee, the higher-graded alternatives deserve a look.

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.
