Overlap is weighted: for every stock both funds hold, we take the smaller of the two weights and add them up. So two funds each holding 5% of the same stock overlap by 5 points, not 10. Cash and equivalents (repo, TREPS, receivables) are excluded — nearly every fund holds them, and shared cash is not shared conviction.

Stocks both funds hold— top 25 of 62, by shared weight
