That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds on this rung beat bottom-rung funds by about 3.8 points per quarter, and beat the S&P in 43% of fund-quarters versus their 22%. The evidence argues this fund earns its seat.

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

FSELX earns an A grade and ranks 41 out of 440 graded funds, with specialists owning over half the portfolio. The most striking detail is that NVDA alone makes up 22 percent of assets and sits at Early Conviction stage alongside ALAB and MU, while crowded names like NXPI and MPWR and fading positions in ALGM and COHR add meaningful late-stage weight at 22 percent.

Monitor ALGM and COHR closely as specialists are actively leaving both positions, together near 3 percent of the fund.

The Early Conviction case for NVDA, ALAB, and MU is strong, but a 22 percent single-stock concentration in NVDA warrants ongoing size awareness.
