What is IBTS?
IBTS is iShares $ Treasury Bond 1-3yr UCITS ETF, the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating VGSH. 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.
Same 1-3 year duration. The source ticker has 1x exposure and the mapped target has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
