iShares Core MSCI Pacific ex Japan UCITS ETF (Acc)

SXR1 is consistently paired with broad-market equity ETFs like XDWD, SXR8, and IS3N, which provide the core exposure to North American and emerging markets. These portfolios frequently integrate defensive assets such as government bonds like IBCI or CBE3 and precious metals like SGLD or EGLN to dampen volatility. The allocations to these complementary assets are substantial, often ranging from 15 to 40 percent of total portfolio weight, suggesting that SXR1 is used to capture regional Pacific growth while the rest of the portfolio provides a stable foundation to mitigate the higher risk profile of localized equity markets.

EuroFolio members treat SXR1 as a tactical regional satellite rather than a primary holding, with allocations typically restricted to a narrow range of 1 to 3 percent in diversified strategies. The notable exception is the HDI portfolio, which allocates 10 percent to SXR1, indicating a more aggressive regional tilt. Across the top-rated portfolios, the consistent low-single-digit weighting confirms that investors view this asset as a tool for geographic diversification to gain exposure to developed Pacific markets excluding Japan, effectively rounding out global equity coverage without over-concentrating in a single geographic zone.
