The largest shared positions

Overlap and shared positions are computed from the holdings of one representative ETF each (SPYM and XCS6); of those we could attribute 78.2 % and 88.1 % of fund weight to individual companies, so real overlap is likely a little higher. The correlation covers 504 shared trading days.
