BRADLEY FOSTER & SARGENT EQUITY FUND · Valued Advisers Trust
39 holdings · as of 2026-05-31 (3.6 months ago) The fund may have traded since. SEC Form N-PORT is filed quarterly and lags the period it covers, so these are the most recent holdings on file, not the fund’s holdings today.
NON-COMPLIANT 19.68% of portfolio weight is in non-compliant holdings, over the 5% threshold.
1.58% of that is conventional interest-bearing debt — US Treasuries or agency mortgage paper — identified from the fund's own filing rather than by screening an issuer. Sukuk are deliberately excluded from this test and are never counted here.

1.71% of this portfolio’s income is non-permissible — weighted across holdings, computed over 83% of portfolio weight (30 of 39 holdings). The common approach purifies that proportion of income received — dividends — not of the position’s value. We report the ratio; what to do with it is a question for your own scholar.

The published standards disagree about this fund by 13 points of portfolio weight — 72.8% of it passes Dow Jones Islamic, 59.6% passes MSCI Islamic. Which number is yours depends on which standard you follow.
These bars are the financial-ratio result under each standard — debt, receivables and interest income. They do not screen what the business does, so a holding can pass every ratio here and still be questionable or non-compliant on activity. The blended verdict above accounts for both.

34 of 39 listed holdings carry our own per-methodology verdicts (91% of weight). The rest hold a provider verdict with no methodology breakdown, and are counted as rated by none. Of those, 31 (84% of weight) also carry the underlying debt ratio; the rest show a verdict without the figure behind it.

This fund prices once a day, so its bars carry no intraday high or low — floor-trader pivots are not defined for it.
The range is measured volatility (ATR over the horizon), not a target — a wider band means a more volatile asset, not a stronger view. The direction is the indicator tally below. Every forecast is recorded when made and scored against the real price when it comes due, including the wrong ones. Not a recommendation, and not a fatwa.
Standard indicator thresholds (RSI 30/70, Stochastic 20/80, CCI ±100, Williams %R −80/−20, MACD histogram sign, price vs. average) computed on daily bars. A summary of what common indicators say — not a recommendation, and not this site's own trading verdict.

The fund will invest primarily in large capitalization common stocks that in the opinion of the fund's adviser, Bradley, Foster & Sargent, Inc. (the "Adviser"), appear to be high quality and attractively valued companies. Equity securities in which the fund may invest include common stocks and common stock equivalents and shares of other investment companies (including open-end and closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs")) whose portfolios primarily consist of equity securities.
Background via Yahoo Finance — informational, not part of the verdict.
Market structure by timeframe, read from real bars. A bias per timeframe rather than a forecast — timeframes disagreeing is information, not noise.
Rate of change and relative volume against this symbol's own recent history. Momentum describes what price has done; it is not a claim about what it will do.
How the rest of the sector moved over the same window. Context for a price move, never a cause of one.

The questions worth asking about any verdict on this page, answered plainly.
No. HTR reads the fund's filed holdings and screens each one, then reports the result by weight. A fund marketed as Islamic still gets the same look-through as any other.
It is the share of the fund whose holdings HTR cannot cover far enough to rate. It is reported as unrated rather than counted as compliant, because a holding nobody screened should not look like one that passed.
It matters, and it is noted, but it does not replace the look-through. The board's judgement and the holdings screen are shown separately so you can see when they agree and when they do not.
When the fund files new holdings, and on a rolling basis besides. The date on the verdict above is the last time this fund was actually recomputed.
Open research, not a fatwa. HTR applies published screening standards to filings and publishes what they say, including when they disagree. Nothing here is financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell. Verdicts can change when new filings land.
Same screen, different answers. Comparison is where the standards disagreeing becomes useful rather than confusing.
Peer screening computing — it will appear here on its own.
Insider transactions reported in the last ninety days. Insiders sell for reasons that have nothing to do with a view, so a sale on its own is not a signal.
