So — heavily overlapping. Should you hold both?
FTEC and JEPQ share most of their weight in the same names; the second fund adds only modest differentiation. If you already hold FTEC, adding JEPQ mostly increases your bet on the names they share rather than spreading it — a 50/50 blend still behaves like only ~28 equal positions, with the top 10 alone at 49% and the Magnificent Seven at 35%.
