IBTM gives similar asset-class exposure, but it is not a like-for-like index match.
What is IBTM?
IBTM is iShares $ Treasury Bond 7-10yr UCITS ETF, a UCITS-compliant ETF that BestFolio uses when translating UST 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 7-10yr Treasury UCITS. Use 1x; 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.
