Interpreting portfolio overlap
Using Dhanik
3 min read
Portfolio overlap measures how many of the same stocks two funds hold, and at what weight. High overlap means buying both adds little real diversification.
- Dhanik shows the % shared by weight and a list of stocks held by both.
- Rule of thumb: overlap above ~50% means the funds largely duplicate each other.
- Common with two large-cap or two flexi-cap funds.
Use it to avoid accidentally owning the same portfolio twice across "different" funds.
