Frequently asked

How much do BNDX and VGT overlap?

BNDX and VGT overlap 0.5% by portfolio weight — largely distinct portfolios. They share 6 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (BNDX as of 2026-06-30, VGT as of 2026-06-30).

How is the overlap between BNDX and VGT calculated?

As the sum of the smaller weight in each fund, over every holding both funds own: Σ min(wA, wB). If BNDX holds a stock at 6% and VGT holds the same stock at 4%, 4% counts as shared. The result is bounded between 0% and 100%, and it is computed after looking through any fund-of-funds to the underlying holdings.

That depends on your goals — we state facts, not advice. At 0.5% overlap, each fund still contributes meaningfully distinct exposure.
