Twin funds
Many ETFs hold nearly the same stocks at nearly the same weights and charge different prices for it. Here are the 300 largest US-listed ETFs grouped wherever two of them share 85% or more of their stock holdings, from their own SEC filings, each group from the cheapest to the dearest.
In short
Option-income, leveraged and buffer funds are left out: same stocks, different product.

From each fund’s latest Form N-PORT (mostly mid 2026) and its prospectus, via the SEC’s public data sets. “The same” is stock by stock the smaller of the two weights, added up, against the group’s largest fund; funds filed on different dates differ a little more than they are. Cost is the yearly expense ratio; trading costs and tax treatment are not in it. Not advice on which fund to hold.
