That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds on this rung beat bottom-rung funds by about 3.8% per quarter, and beat the S&P in 43% of fund-quarters versus their 22%. The evidence argues this fund earns its seat.
10,000+ funds tracked · the graded specialists among them drive every read
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
SCGVX earns a B grade and ranks 97 out of 500 graded funds, with specialists holding a meaningful 51.7% share. The early story here is NVDA at nearly 10% of the portfolio, alongside AMZN and Bloom Energy, all at the Early Conviction stage. The concern is a cluster of Crowded or Fading names including GOOGL, ASML, and NFLX totaling over 17% of the fund.
→ Watch the ASML position closely, as specialists are actively leaving a name that still holds 4.3% weight.
→ Consider whether the GOOGL, NFLX, and MELI crowding risk offsets the genuine early upside in NVDA and BE.
