What is IJPA?
IJPA is iShares Core MSCI Japan IMI UCITS ETF, the European-listed product BestFolio uses when translating VPL. 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.
