Compare another pair
Both funds come from SPDR. SPTM is an equity ETF, while XLE is an energy sector ETF. SPTM and XLE 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 XOM, CVX, and COP.
Both funds come from SPDR. SPTM is an equity ETF, while XLE is an energy sector ETF. SPTM is the broader fund, while XLE is the more targeted sleeve. SPTM has the lower expense ratio, while XLE 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 55.08% 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, SPTM is usually the wider choice. If you want the more focused tilt, XLE is the narrower expression. SPTM has the lower expense ratio, while XLE charges more for its exposure.
Concentration
The top three shared holdings explain 55.08% 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 SPTM and XLE.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| XOM | EXXON MOBIL CORP | 0.99% | 23.52% | 0.99% |

Both funds come from SPDR. SPTM is an equity ETF, while XLE is an energy sector ETF. The overlap exists because both funds allocate meaningful weight to the same holdings. In this dataset, the biggest shared drivers are XOM, CVX, and COP, which appear in both portfolios and push the overlap score higher.
Holding both SPTM and XLE can make sense if you want exposure to different sleeves of the market. The overlap is small enough that both funds may still improve diversification.
