The two price series end 200 days apart, so a return over any period would be measuring two different stretches of market. Those rows are withheld. IVV has data through Sep 8, 2026 and PIN through Feb 20, 2026.
Volatility and max drawdown, and the $10,000 over 18 years row, are measured over the window both funds cover: Mar 5, 2008 to Feb 20, 2026 (18 years).

We cannot see either book well enough to say how much of this pair is duplicated.
The two holdings books were reported 309 days apart, IVV as of Aug 5, 2026 and PIN as of Sep 30, 2025, so some of the difference between them is the time between the two reports rather than the funds.
1 positions in common, counted across the 504 positions we hold weights for in IVV and 212 in PIN, against full books of 508 and 220.
What only one of them owns
Our book lists 2 positions for PIN that do not appear in our book for IVV (2.7% of the fund), and 492 for IVV that do not appear in PIN (99.2%).
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.
