Where SPY and VOOV differ

Sector weights as a share of each fund, ordered by the size of the gap rather than the size of the sector — two funds that overlap heavily still usually diverge somewhere.

Frequently asked

How much do SPY and VOOV overlap?

SPY and VOOV overlap 60.0% by portfolio weight — substantial duplication if you hold both. They share 437 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (SPY as of 2026-07-27, VOOV as of 2026-06-30).

How is the overlap between SPY and VOOV calculated?

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

That depends on your goals — we state facts, not advice. At 60.0% overlap, each fund still contributes meaningfully distinct exposure.

What does SPY own that VOOV doesn't?

SPY holds 505 positions and VOOV holds 438; 67 of SPY's positions don't appear in VOOV at all, and they are 37.5% of SPY by weight.
