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

WASMX ranks 433 out of 500 graded funds with an F grade and zero specialist backing, meaning no proven stock pickers are building positions here. Over 21% of the portfolio sits in late-stage trades, including Fading names like JKHY and STE where specialists are actively leaving. Three higher-graded funds cover this same segment.

→ Watch JKHY and STE closely, as specialists are already exiting both positions held at roughly 2% each.

→ Compare WASMX against the three higher-graded segment peers before your next review, given the F grade and zero specialist presence.
