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
EVUAX ranks third out of 500 graded funds with an A grade, and specialists hold nearly 35% of the book. The concern is that five of the largest positions, including NEE at 13.4% and SO at 6.4%, are all Fading. Early bright spots are ATO, PPL, and AWK, but they total under 8% combined.
→ Watch whether NEE, SO, DUK, VST, and SRE shrink in future disclosures as specialist exits there are broad and concentrated.
→ Note that ATO, PPL, and AWK represent the fund's earliest positioning, worth tracking if those weights grow as a sign of genuine repositioning.
