The two price series end 95 days apart, so a return over any period would be measuring two different stretches of market. Those rows are withheld. FEAT has data through Jun 15, 2026 and VOO through Sep 18, 2026.
Volatility and max drawdown, and the $10,000 over 1.5 years row, are measured over the window both funds cover: Dec 17, 2024 to Jun 15, 2026 (1.5 years).

Holdings Overlap
We hold position weights for 6 holdings in FEAT and 494 in VOO, totalling 99.7% and 99.5% of the two funds. The two books name no position in common, so there is no overlap percentage to show.
The two holdings books were reported 92 days apart, FEAT as of Apr 30, 2026 and VOO as of Jul 31, 2026, so some of the difference between them is the time between the two reports rather than the funds.
0 positions in common, counted across the 6 positions we hold weights for in FEAT and 494 in VOO, against full books of 7 and 509.
What only one of them owns
Our book lists 487 positions for VOO that do not appear in our book for FEAT (99.2% of the fund), and 6 for FEAT that do not appear in VOO (99.7%).
Some of those will be the same company recorded under a different code in one of the two books, so the real difference in what you would own is no larger than this and may be smaller. We do not name the individual positions here for that reason.
You are not choosing between two funds in isolation.
