How EuroFolio members use IS3M

IS3M is most frequently paired with high-growth equity instruments like SXR8 and CNDX, or defensive money market funds such as CSH2 and XEON. Allocations vary significantly depending on the investor's objective, ranging from a conservative 50 percent stake in ultra-short bond strategies to a 15 percent defensive anchor in aggressive growth portfolios. These assets serve as a volatility dampener, providing a stable liquidity buffer that offsets the higher beta of equity holdings while maintaining a lower correlation to broader market swings.

EuroFolio members utilize IS3M primarily as a tactical tool for capital preservation rather than long-term growth. In the Kurzfristig Scalabel portfolio, it functions as a core stability component, while in Strategia 1 anno, it acts as a significant 45 percent hedge against equity market volatility. The data shows that users who hold IS3M are typically balancing aggressive equity exposure with short-duration fixed income to manage drawdown risks, effectively using the ETF to bridge the gap between cash-like liquidity and traditional bond market returns.
