How much do QQQ and VYM overlap?

15% by weight, as of September 30, 2026: light overlap. 27 companies appear in both funds; they make up 16% of QQQ and 19% of VYM.

Which stocks do QQQ and VYM both hold?

The largest shared positions are AVGO, CSCO, TXN, LIN and AMGN. Ranked by the smaller of the two weights, which is the part you would own twice.

Is it redundant to hold both QQQ and VYM?

Out of every $100 split evenly between them, about $15 (half in each fund) buys identical positions. The rest is exposure only one of the two funds gives you: 74 names only in QQQ, 566 only in VYM. Half in each behaves like 79 equally weighted stocks, against 31 for QQQ alone and 75 for VYM alone. Whether that duplication is a problem depends on the mix you want; this is a description, not advice.

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 Invesco 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.
