Global X Silver Miners ETF
 


Global X Silver Miners ETF
The Global X Silver Miners ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to reflect the performance of the silver mining industry. It consists of international companies that actively engage in some aspect of the silver mining industry, such as silver mining, refining, or exploration, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index includes a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 40 members which are weighted according to freefloat market capitalization.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 6.43%, while the Underlying Index decreased 5.56%. The Fund had a net asset value of $42.28 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $38.78 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Prime Mining Corp. and Gogold Resources Inc., which returned 227.97% and 151.72%, respectively. The worst performers included Americas Gold and Silver Corp and Almaden Minerals Ltd., which returned -63.62% and -62.61%, respectively.
Revenue derived by silver mining firms depends on the price of silver and the amount of silver they produce. Given the high fixed costs associated with mining silver, silver mining firms’ earnings tend to be leveraged to its spot price movements. As the COVID-19 pandemic eased over the reporting period, the sale of silver increased as investors tended to prefer investment in riskier assets. Towards the end of the reporting period, silver, the price of which highly correlates with that of gold, saw decreased sales as central banks worldwide turned to policy tightening by either removing stimulus or raising interest rates. Nonetheless, industrial activity kept demand strong for silver during the reporting period, particularly with rising business activity globally.

(at Net Asset Value)


*Fund commenced operations on April 19, 2010.
The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets.
The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, it may be worth less than its original cost. High short-term performance of the fund is unusual and investors should not expect such performance to be repeated.  Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike the Fund’s returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.  Performance figures for the periods shown may reflect contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements (if applicable), returns would have been lower.
There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.
The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.
The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares.

Global X Gold Explorers ETF
 


Global X Gold Explorers ETF
The Global X Gold Explorers ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the price movements in shares of companies which are active in the gold mining industry as explorers or developers, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. A company’s involvement in gold mining exploration implies that a decision about production from the respective gold mining projects in which the company involved has not yet been made.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 7.36%, while the Underlying Index decreased 6.80%. The Fund had a net asset value of $33.48 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $30.10 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Skeena Resources Ltd and PT Aneka Tambang Tbk, which returned 289.07% and 130.57%, respectively. The worst performers included Regis Resources Limited and Novo Resources Corp, which returned -45.05% and -45.04%, respectively.
Gold explorers are firms with minimal gold production. Instead, they seek to profit from finding and securing mining rights to new gold deposits. Thus, the stock price of these companies tends to be a function of the price of gold and their ability to find such deposits. During the reporting period, central banks globally resumed quantitative tightening, limiting bond purchases, while a few planned to hike rates, negatively impacting gold sentiment. Gold prices came under pressure during the reporting period, as business sentiment improved globally on COVID-19 vaccination progress, leading to the re-opening of economies. Miners were adversely affected by the underlying commodity price movements.

Global X Copper Miners ETF
The Global X Copper Miners ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to reflect the performance of the copper mining industry. It consists of international companies that actively engage in some aspect of the copper mining industry, such as copper mining, refining, or exploration, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index includes a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 40 members.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 76.80%, while the Underlying Index increased 77.88%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.42 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $37.31 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Capstone Mining Corp. Common Stock and Vedanta Limited Sponsored ADR, which returned 234.30% and 224.66%, respectively. The worst performers included Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd. and Sierra Metals, Inc., which returned -51.38% and -43.14%, respectively.
Copper mining levels started to rise during the reporting period as the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic began receding and many countries began easing lockdown restrictions. However, production in the two largest copper markets, Chile and Peru, languished for most of the reporting period with mining issues plaguing those countries. A deficit in the copper industry persisted due to supply constraints and the governments of Chile and Peru threatening to increase mining taxes and expand regulations. Furthermore, copper stockpiles depleted to low levels in the London Metal Exchange’s global warehouse, contributing to rising prices for copper. This increased demand during the reporting period was advantageous for copper miners.

Global X Uranium ETF
The Global X Uranium ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Uranium & Nuclear Components Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the price movements in shares of companies which are (or are expected to soon be) active in the uranium industry, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. This particularly includes uranium mining, exploration, and investments, as well as technologies related to the uranium industry. The Underlying Index includes a minimum of 20 components at every rebalancing.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 150.73%, while the Underlying Index increased 153.63%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.87 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $27.04 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Paladin Energy Ltd. and Global Atomic Corp., which returned 639.92% and 599.19%, respectively. The worst performers included Greenland Minerals Limited and Barrick Gold Corporation, which returned -65.60% and -15.98%, respectively.
The price of uranium hit a nine-year high during the reporting period, aided by the increasing support for nuclear power globally and financial buyers entering the market. The high prices were also backstopped by tight supply from major miners globally, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As governments around the world started migrating towards a net zero carbon future, expectations for uranium demand increased. Sentiment in the uranium industry also improved during the reporting period, as fund flows rose and company fundamentals were reassessed.

1. ORGANIZATION
The Global X Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on March 6, 2008. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. As of October 31, 2021, the Trust had ninety-seven portfolios, eighty-eight of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF and Global X Uranium ETF (the “Funds”). Each Fund has elected non-diversified status.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:
USE OF ESTIMATES — The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
RETURN OF CAPITAL ESTIMATES — Distributions received by the Funds from underlying master limited partnership (“MLP”) and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) investments generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from the MLPs, REITs and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent mean between the quoted bid and asked prices, which approximates fair value (absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used). For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent,




41

October 31, 2021
 


2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less will be valued at their market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates as of reporting date. The exchange rates used by the Trust for valuation are captured as of the New York or London close each day. Prices for most securities held by the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using the Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ security that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset values. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate net asset values, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration all relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. As of October 31, 2021, there was $23,836,392 of fair valued securities in Global X Uranium ETF. There were no other securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For the year ended October 31, 2021, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
DUE TO/FROM BROKERS — Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties as of October 31, 2021. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements by BNP Paribas are held by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ custodian (“Custodian”), and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by the Custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations, and the Funds are prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (included in repurchase agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under an MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.
As of October 31, 2021, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to an MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax positions in the current period. Management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable) and on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof.
If a Fund has foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.
As of and during the year ended October 31, 2021, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at NAV and only in large blocks of 10,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to BBH, on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day. If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, an additional variable fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

The preceding differences between book and tax cost are primarily due to mark-to-market treatment of passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and  economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The securities markets of emerging countries are less liquid and subject to greater price volatility, and have a smaller market capitalization than the U.S. securities markets. In certain countries, there may be fewer publicly traded securities and the market may be dominated by a few issuers or sectors. Issuers and securities markets in such countries are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements or as comprehensive government regulations as are issuers and securities markets in the United States. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the statements of emerging country issuers may not reflect their financial position or results of operations in the same manner as financial statements for U.S. issuers. Substantially less information may be publicly available about emerging country issuers than is available about issuers in the United States.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the underlying index in approximately the same proportions as in the underlying index. Each Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to its underlying index when a replication strategy might be

detrimental to its shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its underlying index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the underlying index become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to the Funds but not the underlying indexes). Commodity related securities are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on the Funds.
Certain Funds may invest in commodity related securities, which are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on those securities.
The elimination of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may adversely affect the interest rates on, and value of, certain Fund investments for which the value is tied to LIBOR. The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop compelling or inducing banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the administrator of LIBOR clarified that the publication of LIBOR on a representative basis will cease for the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after December 31, 2021, and for the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023. Alternatives to LIBOR are established or in development in most major currencies, including the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. Questions around liquidity impacted by these rates, and how to appropriately adjust these rates at the time of transition, remain a concern for the Funds. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Funds until new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products, instruments and contracts are commercially accepted.
Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”) for a more complete description of risks.
7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Each Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the its total assets. Security loans made pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BBH are initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements, short-term investments or U.S. Treasury obligations and is recognized in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statements of Assets and

7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES (continued)
Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan.
Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loans were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. In the event the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due, the securities lending agency agreement requires the lending agent to indemnify the Funds by replacing either the security or the security’s current market value to the Funds. The Funds could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. The Funds could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.

8. CONTRACTURAL OBLIGATION
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior gains or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees of the Trust and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.
9. REGULATORY MATTERS
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 7, 2021, the Custodian, announced that it had entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) to sell BBH’s Investor Services business to State Street (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory and customary approvals, and it is expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 2022 (the “Closing Date”).  Consequently, as a result of the Transaction,  it is expected that State Street will replace BBH as the Funds’ custodian effective as of the Closing Date.
The Funds have been evaluated by management regarding the need for additional disclosures (other than what is disclosed in the preceding paragraph) and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
     


To the Board of Trustees of Global X Funds and Shareholders of Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF and Global X Uranium ETF
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF and Global X Uranium ETF (four of the funds constituting Global X Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited)
 
     


ETFs (such as the Funds) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of the shareholder’s investment in a Fund.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a Fund’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from May 1, 2021 through October 31, 2021.
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Funds, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Funds under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (unaudited)
 
     


Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Adviser has adopted, and the Board has approved, a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk. The Program is overseen by the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 21, 2021, the Trustees received a report from the Committee addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Committee’s report noted that the Committee had determined that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk for the period covered by the report. The Committee’s report noted that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Committee’s report further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program during the period covered by the report. In August of 2021, the Committee determined to classify the Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF (NGE) as an In-kind ETF for purposes of the Program.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.

Supplemental Information (unaudited)
 
     


NAV is the price per Share at which a Fund issues and redeems Shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Funds are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. The Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Market Price of a Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
Further information regarding premiums and discounts is available on the Funds’ website at www.globalxetfs.com.
