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.

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

TDVG earns a C grade, ranking 251 of 500, with specialists holding just 33.6% of the fund and five positions including AVGO and WMT already in Fading stage. The 0.50% fee is notable given that higher graded peers exist in this segment. Early conviction in BAC and LIN is a genuine bright spot, but the fading weight is hard to ignore.

→ Watch AVGO, WMT, HD, HWM, and TMUS closely, as specialists are actively leaving all five positions.

→ Compare the 0.50% fee against the three higher graded funds in this segment before adding new money.
