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

Loomis Sayles Growth Fund earns an A grade and ranks 14th out of 440, with 63% specialist ownership placing it in the top 20% of peers. Specialists are early on NVDA at nearly 12% of the fund, but are actively leaving TSLA, META, BA, and ORCL, which together represent roughly a quarter of assets.

Monitor the combined 23.5% weight in Fading positions TSLA, META, BA, and ORCL as specialist exits could pressure returns.

Note the Early Conviction stance on NVDA at 11.6% as evidence specialists see this as a genuine early opportunity worth watching.
