What is CSPX?
CSPX is iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF, the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating GDE. 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.
GDE = 90% S&P 500 + 90% gold futures (1.8x notional). No UCITS equivalent. Composite rebuilds the stack with unlevered funds; the rescale dilutes to 100% capital (50% CSPX / 50% IGLN), so absolute exposure drops from 1.8x to 1.0x. The source ticker has 1.8x exposure and the mapped target has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
