That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds with this little specialist backing trailed top-rung funds by about 3.8% per quarter and beat the S&P in only 22% of fund-quarters. If it also charges an active fee, the higher-graded alternatives deserve a look.

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
T. Rowe Price Value ranks 456 out of 500 graded funds, an F grade that reflects thin specialist backing at 19.5% and a cluster of fading positions including PG, GOOG, and SO where proven specialists are already leaving. DE at 2.6% is the one genuinely early call worth watching.
→ Monitor PG, GOOG, SO, and RRC closely, as specialist exits from all four suggest the thesis on each may be deteriorating.
→ Compare TRVLX against the three higher graded peers in this segment before adding new money, given the F grade and limited specialist conviction.
