About 20% of XGRO is bonds and cash, left out of the count, so its stocks can match another fund's for at most 80%. Its file gives a ticker and a country but no ISIN; 99.3% of its stock money was matched to one.
VGRO holds 7 Vanguard funds, not stocks: VUN 37.2% (itself VTI), VCN 24.0%, VIU 14.7%, VEE 5.7% (itself VWO), plus VAB, VBG, VBU in bonds. Each is read through with Vanguard's own file of the same month-end, so the lines here are the 12,424 stocks behind them.

Vanguard's files give an ISIN with each line: 99.9% of its stock money is matched on one.

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 iShares and 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.
