What is EXUS?
EXUS is Xtrackers MSCI World ex USA UCITS ETF, a UCITS-compliant ETF that BestFolio uses when translating EFO 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 2x EAFE/developed UCITS exists. Use 1x MSCI World ex USA; consider 2x position sizing. The source ticker has 2x exposure and the UCITS substitute has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
