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

GASFX earns a D grade, ranking 325 of 500 graded funds, with specialist investors holding just 2.6% of the portfolio. Over half the fund sits in late-stage positions, and five of its largest holdings including OKE, KMI, SRE, and SO show specialists actively leaving. WMB, ATO, and NGG are early-stage bright spots but do not offset the broader picture.

→ Watch the combined 19.5% weight in fading positions OKE, KMI, SRE, EQT, and SO as specialists continue to exit.

→ Compare GASFX against the three higher-graded funds in the same segment, and the better-graded option within Hennessy itself.
