VTI vs IWDA overlap

73% by weight, as of August 31, 2026: heavy overlap. 506 companies appear in both funds; they make up 90% of VTI and 73% of IWDA.

The largest shared positions are NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, AMZN and GOOGL. 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 $73 (half in each fund) buys identical positions. The rest is exposure only one of the two funds gives you: 2,997 names only in VTI, 742 only in IWDA. Half in each behaves like 70 equally weighted stocks, against 59 for VTI alone and 83 for IWDA alone. Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.

Partly: 73% of the money in IWDA and VTI is the same, as of August 31, 2026. IWDA is iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF (ISIN IE00B4L5Y983), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the MSCI World index. European brokers generally don't sell US-listed ETFs such as VTI to retail clients, because those funds publish no KID (the PRIIPs key information document); UCITS funds do.

Yes. IWDA also trades as SWDA (London, GBP; Borsa Italiana, EUR) and EUNL (Xetra, EUR). Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so VTI vs EUNL also overlaps 73%.

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.
