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

Pear Tree Quality Fund earns an A grade and ranks 67 out of 500, with specialists holding 57% of the book. The early conviction calls on MSFT, META, and AAPL stand out, while AVGO and STZ show fading specialist interest totaling about 4% of the fund.

→ Watch the AVGO and STZ positions closely, as specialists are actively leaving both trades.

→ Confirm the fee before holding long term, since no fee is disclosed and grade alone does not justify unknown costs.
