Which stocks do XLI and SMEA both hold?

Is it redundant to hold both XLI and SMEA?
No. Out of every $100 split evenly between them, none buys the same company. Half in each gives you 468 different holdings that behave like 115 equally weighted stocks, against 40 for XLI alone and 104 for SMEA alone. Whether that mix suits you depends on what you want to own; this is a description, not advice.
What is SMEA, next to XLI?
SMEA is iShares Core MSCI Europe UCITS ETF EUR (Acc) (ISIN IE00B4K48X80), an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund on the MSCI Europe index. Next to XLI, it holds no company in common, as of September 24, 2026.
Does the XLI vs SMEA overlap apply to other tickers?
Yes. SMEA also trades as IMAE (Euronext Amsterdam, EUR) and EUNK (Xetra, EUR). Each is the same portfolio in another currency, on another exchange or paying its dividends out, so XLI and EUNK share no company either.
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 SPDR 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.
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.
