IJPA gives similar asset-class exposure, but it is not a like-for-like index match.
What is IJPA?
IJPA is iShares Core MSCI Japan IMI UCITS ETF, a UCITS-compliant ETF that BestFolio uses when translating VPL 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.
Japan is ~60% of Pacific. No exact FTSE Pacific UCITS. The source ticker has 1x exposure and the UCITS substitute has 1x exposure, so BestFolio can flag leverage differences during allocation translation.
