What is CSPX?

CSPX is iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF USD (Acc), the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating CTAP. 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.

US exposure: Active Simplify 100% US equity plus 100% managed futures. European exposure: S&P 500®. CTAP = Simplify US Equity PLUS Managed Futures: 100% US equity + 100% managed futures via swaps on Simplify's CTA (2x notional), the same structure as RSST. No single equity+MF UCITS wrapper exists. Composite rebuilds the stack; the rescale dilutes to 100% capital (50% CSPX / 50% DBMF). The original composite exposures are retained; this is not a single-fund twin.
