Frequently asked

How much do IVV and QQQM overlap?

IVV and QQQM overlap 52.8% by portfolio weight — substantial duplication if you hold both. They share 87 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (IVV as of 2026-07-23, QQQM as of 2026-02-28).

How is the overlap between IVV and QQQM calculated?
