Sector weights as a share of each fund, ordered by the size of the gap rather than the size of the sector — two funds that overlap heavily still usually diverge somewhere.

Frequently asked

How much do IWD and SCHB overlap?

IWD and SCHB overlap 54.8% by portfolio weight — substantial duplication if you hold both. They share 775 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (IWD as of 2026-07-23, SCHB as of 2026-05-31).

How is the overlap between IWD and SCHB calculated?

As the sum of the smaller weight in each fund, over every holding both funds own: Σ min(wA, wB). If IWD holds a stock at 6% and SCHB 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.

Is it redundant to hold both IWD and SCHB?

That depends on your goals — we state facts, not advice. At 54.8% overlap, each fund still contributes meaningfully distinct exposure.

IWD holds 872 positions and SCHB holds 2,407; 96 of IWD's positions don't appear in SCHB at all, and they are 5.2% of IWD by weight.
