The largest shared positions

Overlap and shared positions are computed from the holdings of one representative ETF each (SPYY and SPYM); of those we could attribute 91.0 % and 78.2 % of fund weight to individual companies, so real overlap is likely a little higher. The correlation covers 504 shared trading days.
