What the ownership overlap reveals

Across 17 tracked superinvestors, 5 hold both MSFT and V (29% of the combined holder base), led by Chris Hohn (13.1% MSFT · 11.8% V). MSFT appears in 12 tracked portfolios; V in 10, so MSFT is the more widely held of the two among tracked managers.

MSFT is a Technology holding while V sits in Financials — the overlap (or lack of it) partly tracks how each manager allocates across sectors.

Among the 5 managers holding both, 4 size MSFT larger and 1 size V larger — a lean toward MSFT. A name held with higher weight by managers who own both is one the shared cohort is more concentrated in.
