Which stocks do VWCE and VEQT both hold?
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.
Is it redundant to hold both VWCE and VEQT?
Out of every $100 split evenly between them, about $66 (half in each fund) buys identical positions. The rest is exposure only one of the two funds gives you: 21 names only in VWCE, 8,650 only in VEQT. Half in each behaves like 141 equally weighted stocks, against 107 for VWCE alone and 162 for VEQT alone. Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.
Is VWCE the European version of VEQT?
Partly: 66% of the money in VWCE and VEQT is the same, as of September 30, 2026. VWCE is Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating (ISIN IE00BK5BQT80), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the FTSE All-World index. European brokers generally don't sell US-listed ETFs such as VEQT to retail clients, because those funds publish no KID (the PRIIPs key information document); UCITS funds do.
Does the VWCE vs VEQT overlap apply to other tickers?
Yes. VWCE also trades as VWRA (London, USD) and VWRP (London, GBP), and VWRL (ISIN IE00B3RBWM25) is its distributing share class. Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so VWRA vs VEQT also overlaps 66%.
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 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.
