Suppose that the function $f$ is analytic in the open unit disk $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}$ in the complex plane. For each $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}>0$ a function $f^{[\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}]}$ is defined as the Hadamard product of $f$ with a certain power function. The function $f^{[\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}]}$ compares with the fractional derivative of $f$ of order $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$. Suppose that $f^{[\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}]}$ has a limit at some point $z_{0}$ on the boundary of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}$. Then $w_{0}=\lim _{z\rightarrow z_{0}}f(z)$ exists. Suppose that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$ is analytic in $f(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5})$ and at $w_{0}$. We show that if $g=\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}(f)$ then $g^{[\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}]}$ has a limit at $z_{0}$.
