Track the S&P 500's top 500 US companies with this large, accumulating iShares ETF. Ideal for cost-effective, long-term US equity exposure.
See below how EuroFolio members build portfolios around SXR8, and which ETFs they most commonly pair with it.
SXR8 is most frequently paired with precious metals like EGLN and various bond instruments such as EUNA or EUN5. These assets typically occupy 10 to 35 percent of portfolios, serving as a volatility dampener to offset the inherent risk of the S&P 500. Global equity funds like IUSQ also appear regularly in allocations ranging from 17 to 40 percent, functioning as a broader geographic hedge to reduce the concentrated US exposure that SXR8 provides.
Community members generally use SXR8 as a core growth engine, with allocations varying significantly based on risk appetite. Conservative strategies, such as the SP500 optimized portfolio, limit SXR8 to 45 percent to prioritize lower drawdowns, while aggressive growth seekers like those in the Moje portfolio push this concentration as high as 75 percent. The data suggests a clear trend where investors use SXR8 as the primary engine for capital appreciation, subsequently layering in gold, bonds, or factor-based equity ETFs to calibrate the portfolio's overall Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown profile.
