iShares Core Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF USD Hedged (Acc)

AGGU is primarily paired with broad-market equity ETFs like VWRA and CSPX, which frequently constitute 30 to 55 percent of the portfolios to drive growth. Precious metals, specifically IGLN, are commonly included at 5 to 20 percent allocations to serve as a volatility hedge, while specialized equity funds such as CNDX provide targeted exposure to the technology sector. These combinations suggest that AGGU acts as a foundational anchor, balancing the higher risk profiles of equity-heavy strategies and helping to mitigate drawdowns in portfolios that otherwise lean heavily into growth assets.

EuroFolio members utilize AGGU as a versatile stabilizer, with allocations ranging from 15 to 35 percent depending on the investor's risk tolerance. While aggressive growth portfolios keep AGGU at the lower end of this range to maintain equity exposure, more conservative strategies increase the weight to 35 percent to prioritize capital preservation. The data shows that AGGU is rarely held in isolation; it is consistently integrated into multi-asset frameworks where it functions alongside short-term bond instruments like IB01 to manage duration risk and provide a buffer against the significant market volatility seen in the top-performing portfolios.
