Compare another pair
IWD is a U.S. value equity ETF from IShares, while SMH is a semiconductor-focused equity ETF from VanEck. IWD and SMH do not own much of the same portfolio weight. That usually means you are combining different parts of the market, with only a small amount of duplication through names like MU, INTC, and AMAT.
IWD is a U.S. value equity ETF from IShares, while SMH is a semiconductor-focused equity ETF from VanEck. IWD is the broader fund, while SMH is the more targeted sleeve. IWD has the lower expense ratio, while SMH charges more for its exposure.
The overlap is driven by a relatively small set of large shared positions. The top three shared holdings account for 51.79% of the score, which means the result is heavily influenced by the biggest common weights rather than a long tail of tiny positions.
If you want the broader portfolio building block, IWD is usually the wider choice. If you want the more focused tilt, SMH is the narrower expression. IWD has the lower expense ratio, while SMH charges more for its exposure.
Concentration
The top three shared holdings explain 51.79% of the full overlap score.
That helps show whether the score comes from a handful of giant shared positions or from a broader mix of common holdings.
Shared Sector Tilt
Sector tags are not consistently available for the biggest shared positions in this dataset, so this comparison leans more on the specific holdings than on sector labels.
These are the holdings contributing the most to the overlap score between IWD and SMH.
