iShares Core S&P 500 UCITS ETF USD (Acc)

The most common companions to SXR8 are US sector and thematic equity ETFs, particularly defence (ASWC), semiconductors (SEC0), and gold miners (G2X), which appear in nearly all of the highest-Sharpe portfolios from user-qmeje8 at allocations of 5% to 35% each. These are paired with other regional equity funds like Japan (XMK9), energy (LEER), and broad global or emerging market ETFs (IS3R, EUNL, IUSQ, EMIM), typically at 5% to 15% weights. Gold appears frequently as a diversifier, either as a dedicated precious metals ETF (IGLD, GOLD-EUR, PPFB) at 10% to 20%, or indirectly through gold miners, while bonds (SNA2) and Bitcoin (BTC-EUR) show up occasionally at 5% to 15%. The higher-Sharpe portfolios rely almost entirely on equities with aggressive sector tilts, while the lower-Sharpe ones add gold and bonds to reduce volatility and drawdowns.

EuroFolio members overwhelmingly use SXR8 as the core US equity anchor, with allocations ranging from 5% in aggressive thematic portfolios to 75% in simpler growth-focused ones. The top performers from user-qmeje8 treat SXR8 as just one of many equal-weight satellite holdings, often at 5% to 11%, while more conservative users like user-kvsytt build around it with 60% to 70% SXR8 plus gold and small-cap or emerging market funds. User-e10nby mixes SXR8 with European and defence ETFs, and user-6mfqg4 blends it into global multi-factor portfolios at 20% to 30%. The pattern shows two distinct camps: aggressive traders who use SXR8 as a diversifier among high-beta sector bets, and balanced investors who rely on it as the primary return driver, adding gold and bonds mainly to cut drawdowns from around 25% down to 17% to 20%.
