VWO vs EIMI overlap

74% by weight, as of August 31, 2026: heavy overlap. 2,272 companies appear in both funds; they make up 88% of VWO and 76% of EIMI.

The largest shared positions are 2330, 700, 9988, 2454 and 2308. 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 $74 (half in each fund) buys identical positions. The rest is exposure only one of the two funds gives you: 2,724 names only in VWO, 616 only in EIMI. Half in each behaves like 39 equally weighted stocks, against 37 for VWO alone and 37 for EIMI alone. Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.

Partly: 74% of the money in EIMI and VWO is the same, as of August 31, 2026. EIMI is iShares Core MSCI EM IMI UCITS ETF (ISIN IE00BKM4GZ66), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the MSCI Emerging Markets IMI index. European brokers generally don't sell US-listed ETFs such as VWO to retail clients, because those funds publish no KID (the PRIIPs key information document); UCITS funds do.

Yes. EIMI also trades as EMIM (London, GBP; Euronext Amsterdam, EUR) and IS3N (Xetra, EUR). Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so VWO vs IS3N also overlaps 74%.

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.
