Frequently asked

How much do MDY and VTTSX overlap?

MDY and VTTSX overlap 3.2% by portfolio weight — largely distinct portfolios. They share 397 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (MDY as of 2026-07-23, VTTSX as of 2026-03-31).

How is the overlap between MDY and VTTSX calculated?

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 MDY and VTTSX?

That depends on your goals — we state facts, not advice. At 3.2% overlap, each fund still contributes meaningfully distinct exposure.
