VOO and SMEA: what people ask

questions6 answered

How much do VOO and SMEA overlap?

None by holdings, as of August 31, 2026: no company appears in both funds. By sector, 60% of their money sits in the same sectors, led by Financials.

Which stocks do VOO and SMEA both hold?

None. VOO and SMEA have no holding in common.

Is it redundant to hold both VOO and SMEA?

No. Out of every $100 split evenly between them, none buys the same company. Half in each gives you 890 different holdings that behave like 128 equally weighted stocks, against 46 for VOO alone and 104 for SMEA alone. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want to own; this is a description, not advice.

What is SMEA, next to VOO?

SMEA is iShares Core MSCI Europe UCITS ETF EUR (Acc) (ISIN IE00B4K48X80), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the MSCI Europe index. Next to VOO, it holds no company in common, as of August 31, 2026.

Does the VOO 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 VOO 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.
