VNQ and XLE: what people ask

questions4 answered

How much do VNQ and XLE overlap?

None by holdings, as of August 31, 2026: no company appears in both funds. They share no sector either.

Which stocks do VNQ and XLE both hold?

None. VNQ and XLE have no holding in common.

Is it redundant to hold both VNQ and XLE?

No. Out of every $100 split evenly between them, none buys the same company. Half in each gives you 161 different holdings that behave like 25 equally weighted stocks, against 21 for VNQ alone and 9 for XLE alone. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want to own; this is a description, not advice.

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 SPDR 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.
