You pay 0.54% a year for a A.

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

CastleArk Large Growth ETF earns an A grade, ranking 48th out of 440 graded funds, with nearly half its assets backed by specialist investors. The standout story is a 17% position in NVDA at Early Conviction stage, joined by early-stage ANET and AMZN, though META and VRT are both Fading and together represent nearly 7% of the fund.

Monitor the combined 7.3% weight in Fading META and VRT, as specialist investors are actively leaving both positions.

The 0.54% fee is worth scrutinizing against the A grade, since cheaper peers in this segment may exist.
