TSPC vs TSPF: 0% overlap
TSP C Fund — shown via S&P 500 proxy and TSP F Fund — shown via aggregate-bond proxy share 0.2% of their portfolios by weight — computed as Σ min(wA, wB) over every holding both funds own.
You would hold two tickers and get the diversification of 2.0. Two funds that shared nothing would score 2.0; two identical funds score 1.0.

Where TSPC and TSPF 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.

Δ is TSPC minus TSPF, in percentage points. Sector data is not published by every issuer, so “Unclassified” is a real category rather than a gap in the table.
