What is SWDA?
SWDA is iShares Core MSCI World UCITS ETF, the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating EFA. 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.
MSCI World includes US (~65%). For ex-US developed only, use IEUX (IE00B4L5YV07). The source ticker has 1x exposure and the mapped target has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
