Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.

Partly: 84% of the money in SSAC and VT is the same, as of September 30, 2026. SSAC is iShares MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF (ISIN IE00B6R52259), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the MSCI All Country World (ACWI) index. European brokers generally don't sell US-listed ETFs such as VT to retail clients, because those funds publish no KID (the PRIIPs key information document); UCITS funds do.

Yes. SSAC also trades as ISAC (London, USD; Borsa Italiana, EUR) and IUSQ (Xetra, EUR). Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so VT vs IUSQ also overlaps 84%.

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.
