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
Marsico Growth Fund earns an A grade and ranks 16th out of 440 graded funds, with specialists backing nearly 60 percent of the portfolio. The early conviction positions in NVDA, AMZN, and GE are the standout story here, suggesting proven specialists are still building rather than exiting those trades. Watch the fading signals on COST, META, and BA, which together represent over 10 percent of the fund.
→ Monitor COST, META, and BA closely as specialists are actively leaving all three fading positions totaling over 10 percent weight.
→ Note NVDA at 7.4 percent and AMZN at 6.8 percent are Early Conviction stages, suggesting specialists see room to run.
