What is IGLA?
IGLA is iShares Global Government Bond UCITS ETF, a UCITS-compliant ETF that BestFolio uses when translating BWX into a European-broker-friendly allocation. UCITS funds are designed for EU and UK retail access and carry the required investor documents that US-listed ETFs usually lack.
BWX = intl treasury (ex-US). IGLA = global govt bonds (includes US ~40%). No ex-US govt bond UCITS exists. TER 0.20%. The source ticker has 1x exposure and the UCITS substitute has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
