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

CVLOX earns an A grade and ranks 33rd out of 500 graded funds, with specialists making up nearly 64 percent of its ownership, a top 20 percent footprint among peers. The early positions in Citigroup, Johnson and Johnson, and Waste Management suggest specialists are building conviction quietly. The concern is a cluster of fading names including Broadcom, Tesla, and AST SpaceMobile that together carry real weight.

→ Watch the combined 4.1 percent weight in Fading positions like AVGO, TSLA, HAL, and ASTS for signs of further specialist exits.

→ Note the Early Conviction stakes in C and JNJ as the specific reason specialists are still present and the grade remains high.
