Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.
Is CNDX the European version of VGT?
Partly: 52% of the money in CNDX and VGT is the same, as of August 31, 2026. CNDX is iShares Nasdaq 100 UCITS ETF (ISIN IE00B53SZB19), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the Nasdaq-100 index. European brokers generally don't sell US-listed ETFs such as VGT to retail clients, because those funds publish no KID (the PRIIPs key information document); UCITS funds do.
Does the VGT vs CNDX overlap apply to other tickers?
Yes. CNDX also trades as CNX1 (London, GBP), SXRV (Xetra, EUR) and CSNDX (Borsa Italiana, EUR). Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so VGT vs SXRV also overlaps 52%.
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 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.
Weights come from each issuer's published holdings file and are matched company by company on their ISIN. Cash, futures and currency positions are left out. This page describes what the funds hold; it is not investment advice.
