Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want to own; this is a description, not advice.
What is SMEA, next to VNQ?
SMEA is iShares Core MSCI Europe UCITS ETF EUR (Acc) (ISIN IE00B4K48X80), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the MSCI Europe index. Next to VNQ, it holds no company in common, as of August 31, 2026.
Does the VNQ vs SMEA overlap apply to other tickers?
Yes. SMEA also trades as IMAE (Euronext Amsterdam, EUR) and EUNK (Xetra, EUR). Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so VNQ and EUNK 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 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.
