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
PWRD earns a C grade, ranking 197 of 500, while charging 0.75% annually. Specialists back 39% of the fund, but positions like VRT, AVGO, GEV, and CAT are all Fading, representing real exit pressure. The early bright spots are POWL, AMAT, and TT, though they are too small to offset the crowded weight in GE.
→ Watch the combined Fading weight in VRT, AVGO, GEV, and CAT closely, as specialist exits there total over 19% of the fund.
→ Compare PWRD against the three higher graded funds in this segment, especially given the 0.75% fee paired with a mid-tier C grade.
