You pay 0.47% a year for a B.
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
SIXA earns a B grade and ranks 127 of 500, with nearly half its assets held by specialists. The early standout is PM at 4.2%, alongside LRCX and NVDA, all at Early Conviction stage. The concern is PEP, AVGO, and CAT, where specialists are actively fading, together representing meaningful weight for a focused mega cap fund. The 0.47% fee is worth watching given those mixed signals.
→ Watch PEP, AVGO, and CAT closely, specialists are leaving all three and they combine for over 6% of the fund.
→ Compare the 0.47% fee against higher graded peers in the mega cap segment before adding new money.
