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
Franklin DynaTech A grades A and ranks 30 out of 500, with 64.7% specialist ownership placing it in the top 20% of peers. The early reads on KLAC, Guardant Health, and Palo Alto Networks are promising, but AVGO at 5.9% is the largest fading position and worth watching closely.
→ Monitor AVGO closely, as specialists are leaving a position that makes up 5.9% of the fund.
→ Note early specialist conviction in KLAC and Guardant Health as the clearest evidence the fund is ahead of the crowd.
