Which stocks do VGT and CSPX both hold?

The largest shared positions are NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, AVGO and MU. Ranked by the smaller of the two weights, which is the part you would own twice.

Is it redundant to hold both VGT and CSPX?

Out of every $100 split evenly between them, about $39 (half in each fund) buys identical positions. The rest is exposure only one of the two funds gives you: 243 names only in VGT, 429 only in CSPX. Half in each behaves like 23 equally weighted stocks, against 13 for VGT alone and 44 for CSPX alone. Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.

What is CSPX, next to VGT?

CSPX is iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF (ISIN IE00B5BMR087), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the S&P 500 index. Next to VGT, 39% of the money is the same, spread over 75 companies both hold, as of August 31, 2026.

Does the VGT vs CSPX overlap apply to other tickers?

Yes. CSPX also trades as CSP1 (London, GBP), SXR8 (Xetra, EUR) and CSSPX (Borsa Italiana, EUR). Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so VGT vs SXR8 also overlaps 39%.

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.
