What is IGLN?

IGLN is iShares Physical Gold ETC, the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating GLD. 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: Gold. European exposure: Gold. Same underlying index and leverage. Accumulating; fund currency USD; primary London Stock Exchange, USD. TER 0.12% p.a.; size EUR 34,150m. Sources: issuer and justETF, checked 2026-10-07; https://www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00B4ND3602 The source ticker has 1x exposure and the mapped target has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
