You pay 0.14% a year for a A.
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
LRND earns an A grade and ranks 71st out of 500 graded funds, with specialists owning 56.6% of the portfolio at just 0.14% annually. Early Conviction positions in AMGN, DE, and PANW suggest specialists are still building. Watch the Fading signal on AVGO, which carries a 4.5% weight.
→ Monitor AVGO closely given its 4.5% weight and Fading specialist stage, the largest at-risk position in the fund.
→ Note early specialist conviction in PANW and DE, where the evidence suggests specialists are still building positions.
