What only one of them owns

Our book lists 79 positions for XVOL that do not appear in our book for ADPV (97.5% of the fund), and 22 for ADPV that do not appear in XVOL (84.7%).

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.

Whichever of ADPV and XVOL you pick has to sit alongside everything else you own. Add the rest and see what the combination actually holds.
