Frequently asked

How much do IWD and VTSAX overlap?

IWD and VTSAX overlap 56.9% by portfolio weight — substantial duplication if you hold both. They share 838 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (IWD as of 2026-07-23, VTSAX as of 2026-06-30).

How is the overlap between IWD and VTSAX calculated?

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 56.9% overlap, each fund still contributes meaningfully distinct exposure.
