VEA vs EIMI overlap

9.0% by weight, as of August 31, 2026: little overlap. 317 companies appear in both funds; they make up 9.0% of VEA and 20% of EIMI.

The largest shared positions are 005930, 000660, 005935, 402340 and 009150. Ranked by the smaller of the two weights, which is the part you would own twice.

Out of every $100 split evenly between them, about $9 (half in each fund) buys identical positions. The rest is exposure only one of the two funds gives you: 3,574 names only in VEA, 2,571 only in EIMI. Half in each behaves like 111 equally weighted stocks, against 266 for VEA alone and 37 for EIMI alone. Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.

EIMI is iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF (ISIN IE00BKM4GZ66), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the MSCI Emerging Markets IMI index. Next to VEA, 9.0% of the money is the same, spread over 317 companies both hold, as of August 31, 2026.

Yes. EIMI also trades as EMIM (London, GBP; Euronext Amsterdam, EUR) and IS3N (Xetra, EUR). Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so VEA vs IS3N also overlaps 9.0%.

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 Vanguard and iShares 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.
