What is IUAG?

IUAG is iShares US Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF, the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating AGG. Most targets are UCITS ETFs; some commodity and leveraged targets are UCITS-eligible ETCs or ETPs instead. Product structure and retail eligibility must be checked for the exact ISIN.

Same Bloomberg US Aggregate index. Global agg alternative: AGGG/AGGU (iShares Core Global Aggregate Bond). The source ticker has 1x exposure and the mapped target has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
