What is IBTM?
IBTM is iShares $ Treasury Bond 7-10yr UCITS ETF, a UCITS-compliant ETF that BestFolio uses when translating VGIT 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.
VGIT is 3-10yr, IBTM is 7-10yr. Close but IBTM has slightly longer duration. The source ticker has 1x exposure and the UCITS substitute has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
