What is CSPX?
CSPX is iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF, a UCITS-compliant ETF that BestFolio uses when translating CTAP 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.
No Return Stacked UCITS yet. CSPX is equity-only proxy; loses the trend overlay. Manual replication possible with CSPX + DBMF UCITS. The source ticker has 1x exposure and the UCITS substitute has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
