Frequently asked

How much do SCHB and VONG overlap?

SCHB and VONG overlap 54.2% by portfolio weight — substantial duplication if you hold both. They share 337 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (SCHB as of 2026-05-31, VONG as of 2026-06-30).

How is the overlap between SCHB and VONG calculated?

The result is bounded between 0% and 100%, and it is computed after looking through any fund-of-funds to the underlying holdings.
