Compare another pair
Both funds come from Vanguard. VEA is an equity ETF, while VO is a mid-cap U.S. equity ETF. VEA and VO 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 94106B101 and 866966104.
Both funds come from Vanguard. VEA is an equity ETF, while VO is a mid-cap U.S. equity ETF. Neither fund clearly dominates on breadth, so the practical difference is more about weighting, index construction, and cost. VEA and VO are priced very similarly on expense ratio.
The overlap is driven by a relatively small set of large shared positions. The top three shared holdings account for 101.26% of the score, which means the result is heavily influenced by the biggest common weights rather than a long tail of tiny positions.
Because VEA and VO are closer in breadth, the better fit usually comes down to index methodology, issuer preference, and cost. VEA and VO are priced very similarly on expense ratio.
Concentration
The top three shared holdings explain 101.26% 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 VEA and VO.
| Holding | Name | VEA Wt. | VO Wt. | Overlap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 94106B101 | Waste Connections Inc | 0.14% | 0.45% | 0.14% |
| 866966104 | Sunbelt Rentals Holdings Inc | 0.09% | 0.29% | 0.09% |
