If you want the broader portfolio building block, VXUS is usually the wider choice. If you want the more focused tilt, SCZ is the narrower expression. VXUS has the lower expense ratio, while SCZ charges more for its exposure.
Concentration
The top three shared holdings explain 1.72% 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 SCZ and VXUS.
