Frequently asked

How much do TSPI and VO overlap?

TSPI and VO overlap 2.2% by portfolio weight — largely distinct portfolios. They share 40 holdings. The figure comes from current issuer holdings files (TSPI as of 2026-06-30, VO as of 2026-06-30).

How is the overlap between TSPI and VO calculated?

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

That depends on your goals — we state facts, not advice. At 2.2% overlap, each fund still contributes meaningfully distinct exposure.

TSPI holds 8,453 positions and VO holds 283; 8,413 of TSPI's positions don't appear in VO at all, and they are 95.5% of TSPI by weight.
