That has mattered: over the past 2.7 years, funds on this rung beat bottom-rung funds by about 3.8 points 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

TSNAX earns an A grade and ranks 27 out of 440 graded funds, with specialists accounting for 54.2% of its ownership, a genuinely strong conviction signal. Its biggest story is NVDA at nearly 15% weight sitting in Early Conviction stage, meaning proven specialists are still building. The concern is that META at 6.2% and APP and RBLX are all Fading, with specialists actively stepping back from those names.

Watch the combined Fading weight in META, APP, and RBLX closely, as specialist exits there could pressure near term returns.

NVDA at 14.8% in Early Conviction stage is the fund's strongest evidence based anchor; monitor whether specialist ownership there continues building.
