A real example

“I hold VAS and A200. Aren't I diversified across two funds?”

Not really. VAS tracks the ASX 300. A200 tracks the ASX 200. Both are dominated by the big four banks and BHP. When ETFLens checks the overlap, it comes back at approximately 93%. An investor in both funds pays two management fees for one effectively identical portfolio.

Why I built this

“I spent three years holding VAS and A200, thinking that my portfolio was diversified. ETFLens showed me how much of the two funds is the same underlying holdings. To put it simply I was paying two sets of fees for one effectively identical portfolio. No tool existed that would have helped me understand this, so I built one.”

If you hold VAS and A200, overlap is costing you an extra 0.07% per year on the duplicated portion of your holding. Because roughly 93% of the two funds overlaps, on a $50,000 holding that works out to approximately $33 ($50,000 × 93% × 0.07%), so Pro pays for itself.

Illustrative only. Actual cost depends on your exact holding size and overlap percentage. Not financial advice.
