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

EDIIX earns an A grade and ranks 69 of 500 graded funds, with specialists holding 56.8% of the book. The early conviction calls on Citigroup, Zoetis, and Disney stand out, while GOOG at 4.3% is the biggest fading position to watch.

→ Monitor the GOOG position closely, at 4.3% weight it is the single largest specialist exit risk in the portfolio.

→ Note the early specialist interest in C, ZTS, and DIS as positions where the fund appears ahead of broader consensus.
