Frequently asked

How much do IWD and SCHX overlap?

IWD and SCHX overlap 56.1% by portfolio weight — substantial duplication if you hold both. They share 582 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (IWD as of 2026-07-23, SCHX as of 2026-05-31).

How is the overlap between IWD and SCHX 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 SCHX 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 SCHX?

That depends on your goals — we state facts, not advice. At 56.1% overlap, each fund still contributes meaningfully distinct exposure.

What does IWD own that SCHX doesn't?

IWD holds 872 positions and SCHX holds 750; 289 of IWD's positions don't appear in SCHX at all, and they are 8.2% of IWD by weight.
