VGT vs VWCE overlap

25% by weight, as of August 31, 2026: light overlap. 78 companies appear in both funds; they make up 90% of VGT and 25% of VWCE.

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.

Out of every $100 split evenly between them, about $25 (half in each fund) buys identical positions. The rest is exposure only one of the two funds gives you: 240 names only in VGT, 3,717 only in VWCE. Half in each behaves like 30 equally weighted stocks, against 13 for VGT alone and 107 for VWCE alone. Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.

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 VGT, 25% of the money is the same, spread over 78 companies both hold, as of August 31, 2026.

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 VGT vs VWRA also overlaps 25%.

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 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.
