iShares Core MSCI EMU UCITS ETF EUR (Acc)

SXR7 is almost always paired with broad global or US equity ETFs, most notably CW8 (Amundi MSCI World) and SXR8 or PSP5 (S&P 500), with these core holdings often taking 40-45% of the portfolio while SXR7 sits at 5-30%. European equity funds like MEUD, ESEH, or ESEE frequently appear alongside it, either as complements or substitutes, and gold or precious metals (GBS, XAD1, 4GLD) show up in about half the portfolios at 1-20% as a hedge. Bonds are rare, appearing only in the Golden Butterfly EU portfolio (LYS4 and EL4V at 20% each), which is also the only one with a significantly lower volatility (7.7%) and drawdown (18.1%), suggesting SXR7 is used primarily as an equity diversifier rather than a stabilizer.

The community treats SXR7 as a flexible European equity building block, not a core holding. In aggressive or growth-oriented portfolios, it is used heavily — 20-30% in "Mixte" and "Agressif" — while in more balanced or conservative setups it drops to 5-17%, as seen in "Optimise 1" and "Conservateur Diversifié". Notably, the same user (user-91kbd4) runs three portfolios with SXR7 at 15-30%, always alongside gold or dividend-focused funds, indicating a preference for pairing European equities with defensive assets. The highest Sharpe portfolio ("Scalable Capital") uses SXR7 at just 7%, relying instead on a broad global core, which suggests that for top risk-adjusted performance, SXR7 is a satellite that adds regional tilt without dominating the portfolio.
