The middle rungs sat between the extremes, and the pattern was monotonic: every step up in specialist backing came with better subsequent results. Not damning, not compelling. The fee decides whether it is worth it.

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
BRNY earns a D grade, ranking 343 of 500 graded funds, and charges 0.79% for a portfolio where specialists are actively leaving top holdings like CRUS, NFLX, and CCL. Over 31% of the fund sits in late or crowded stages, and cheaper, higher graded peers exist in this segment.
→ Watch CRUS and NFLX closely, as specialists are fading from both while they remain among the largest positions.
→ Compare the 0.79% fee against the three higher graded segment peers before deciding whether BRNY earns its cost.
