What Stands Out In This Comparison

01

What This Means

Both funds come from Vanguard. VOO is a U.S. large-cap core ETF, while VV is a large-cap U.S. equity ETF. VOO and VV are closely aligned. A large share of their portfolio weight is invested in the same companies, especially NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT, which means holding both is likely to feel similar to increasing the size of one core position.

02

How They Differ

Both funds come from Vanguard. VOO is a U.S. large-cap core ETF, while VV is a large-cap U.S. equity ETF. Neither fund clearly dominates on breadth, so the practical difference is more about weighting, index construction, and cost. VOO and VV are priced very similarly on expense ratio.

03

What Drives The Overlap

The overlap is driven by a relatively small set of large shared positions. The top three shared holdings account for 20.2% of the score, which means the result is heavily influenced by the biggest common weights rather than a long tail of tiny positions.

04

When One May Fit Better

Because VOO and VV are closer in breadth, the better fit usually comes down to index methodology, issuer preference, and cost. VOO and VV are priced very similarly on expense ratio.

Overlap Driver Snapshot

Concentration

The top three shared holdings explain 20.2% 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.

Why These ETFs Overlap

Both funds come from Vanguard. VOO is a U.S. large-cap core ETF, while VV is a large-cap U.S. equity ETF. The overlap exists because both funds allocate meaningful weight to the same holdings. In this dataset, the biggest shared drivers are NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT, which appear in both portfolios and push the overlap score higher.

Holding both VOO and VV is usually redundant unless you have a very specific reason to tilt toward their shared holdings. In most cases, one ETF is enough.

How Overlap Is Calculated

A straightforward approach used by portfolio analysts.

Overlap = sum(min(Weight_A, Weight_B)) for each shared holding

For every stock that appears in both ETFs, we take the smaller of the two weights. Adding up all those minimums gives the total overlap percentage. A score of 100% means the two ETFs hold the exact same stocks in the same proportions.
