Overlap is the share of each fund's equity book invested in the same stocks, by weight, across the Direct-plan universe — so a fund that is only part equity is labelled as such. ! marks a pair holding more in common than nine pairs in ten of its type, where that type has a measured distribution.

About Index funds & ETFs

Index funds and ETFs must keep at least 95% in the securities of the index they track, rather than trying to beat it. They charge far lower fees than active funds, and their return is the index's return minus that small cost and any tracking difference.
