Frequently asked

How much do DIA and VV overlap?

DIA and VV overlap 28.0% by portfolio weight — moderate overlap. They share 30 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (DIA as of 2026-07-23, VV as of 2026-06-30).

How is the overlap between DIA and VV calculated?

The result is bounded between 0% and 100%, and it is computed after looking through any fund-of-funds to the underlying holdings.
