That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds with this little specialist backing trailed top-rung funds by about 3.8% 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.

The read · what to do with it
Dodge & Cox Stock ranks 481 out of 500 graded funds, with specialists holding only 11.6% of the fund, a low reading that signals thin expert conviction. RTX at 4.1% and JCI at 3.2% are genuine early-stage positions, but BKR, SUI, and AON are all Fading, meaning specialists are actively leaving those trades.
→ Watch BKR, SUI, and AON closely, as specialist exits from all three signal these positions may weigh on returns.
→ At least 3 higher-graded funds exist in the same segment. The grade gap here argues for a direct comparison before staying put.
