questions6 answered

Which stocks do IWM and VWCE both hold?

None. IWM and VWCE have no holding in common.

Is it redundant to hold both IWM and VWCE?

No. Out of every $100 split evenly between them, none buys the same company. Half in each gives you 5,770 different holdings that behave like 380 equally weighted stocks, against 842 for IWM alone and 107 for VWCE alone. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want to own; this is a description, not advice.

What is VWCE, next to IWM?

VWCE is Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating (ISIN IE00BK5BQT80), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the FTSE All-World index. Next to IWM, it holds no company in common, as of September 24, 2026.

Does the IWM vs VWCE overlap apply to other tickers?

Yes. VWCE also trades as VWRA (London, USD) and VWRP (London, GBP), and VWRL (ISIN IE00B3RBWM25) is its distributing share class. Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so IWM and VWRA share no company either.

How is ETF overlap calculated here?

For every company held by both funds we take the smaller of its two weights and add them up. The weights come from the full holdings files iShares and Vanguard publish, not a top-10 sample, and companies are matched by their ISIN so share classes stay apart. Sector overlap applies the same rule to the issuers' sector labels; "behaves like N equally weighted stocks" is one over the sum of the squared weights.
