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

QGRO earns a C grade, ranking 219 of 500, with specialists holding just 37% of the fund. Early Conviction positions in AAPL, NVDA, and LRCX are a real bright spot, but TJX, APP, and APH are all Fading, meaning specialists are already walking away from three of the top ten holdings.

→ Watch TJX, APP, and APH closely, as specialist exits from all three signal weakening conviction in nearly 8% of the portfolio.

→ Compare QGRO's C grade and 0.29% fee against the three higher graded funds in this segment before adding new money.
