Frequently asked

How much do JEPI and SCHD overlap?

JEPI and SCHD overlap 7.9% by portfolio weight — largely distinct portfolios. They share 12 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (JEPI as of 2026-03-31, SCHD as of 2026-05-31).

How is the overlap between JEPI and SCHD calculated?

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

That depends on your goals — we state facts, not advice. At 7.9% overlap, each fund still contributes meaningfully distinct exposure.
