Global
X Social Media ETF
The Global
X Social Media ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
Solactive Social Media 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 track the price movements in shares of companies
which are active in the social media industry, including companies that provide
social networking, file sharing, and other web-based media applications, as
defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. A maximum of 50
components are included in the Underlying Index which are weighted according to
freefloat market capitalization.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 17.94%, while the Underlying Index increased 18.58%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $51.95 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $61.26 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from AfreecaTV Co., Ltd. and Life360,
Inc. Shs Chess Depository Interests Repr 3 Sh, which returned 216.79% and
198.34%, respectively. The worst performers were Kuaishou Technology Class B and
Hello Pal International, Inc., which returned -75.15% and -72.42%,
respectively.
The social
media segment has seen robust growth since the beginning of the COVID-19
pandemic as consumers increase their engagement with these platforms to maintain
social interactions with family, friends, and acquaintances. With over half of
the world’s population now on social media platforms, businesses continue to
rely on social media as a key advertising channel, resulting in strong revenue
growth during the reporting period despite an uncertain economic backdrop. In
addition, new forms of monetization such as social commerce, or the intersection
between social media and e-commerce, are accelerating monetization opportunities
for companies in the social media space. Sector weightings of the Fund were
highest in Communication Services, at 92.8% during the reporting period.
Geographically, the Fund maintained an average allocation of 44.1% to United
States stocks, followed by China (29%) and South Korea (10.2%) during the
reporting period.

Global
X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF
The Global
X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results
that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and
expenses, of the Solactive Global Lithium 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 track the performance of the largest and most
liquid listed companies active in exploration and/or mining of lithium or the
production of lithium batteries, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the
Underlying Index. The Underlying Index is calculated as a total return index and
adjusted semi-annually.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 112.89%, while the Underlying Index increased 114.17%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $42.86 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $91.07 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from Pilbara Minerals Limited and L
& F Co Ltd., which returned 501.41% and 377.22%, respectively. The worst
performers were Tianneng Power International Limited and Galaxy Resources Ltd.,
which returned -27.6% and -26.81%, respectively.
Despite the
unprecedented global disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the electric
vehicle (EV) theme is reaching an inflection point as consumers, original
equipment manufacturers, and governments accelerate the shift away from internal
combustion engines and towards battery-powered vehicles. During the reporting
period, EV sales reached record highs, more than doubling the sales numbers from
the previous year in countries such as China, the United States and Germany. As
a result of the strong current and future expected demand, lithium prices have
risen rapidly in 2021, creating positive tailwinds for lithium miners. On the
battery front, the ability to efficiently, reliably, and inexpensively
mass-produce lithium-ion cells was essential for growing the EV market. Battery
prices continued to fall, albeit at a slower pace as raw material prices weighed
on the cost of production. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average
approximate stock exposure of 46% in China, 22% in the United States, 11% in
South Korea, and 6% in Australia. By sector, it had the highest exposure to
Materials, at 48%, followed by Industrials (21%), Information Technology (17%),
and Consumer Discretionary (15%).

The Global
X E-commerce ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
Solactive E-commerce 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 track the price movements in shares of companies
which are active in the field of e-commerce, as defined by Solactive AG, the
provider of the Underlying Index. This may include companies that operate
e-commerce platforms, provide e-commerce software, analytics or services, and/or
primarily sell goods and services online and generate the majority of their
overall revenue from online retail.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 17.39%, while the Underlying Index increased 17.87%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $26.79 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $31.19 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Uxin Ltd. Sponsored ADR and
Williams-Sonoma, Inc., which returned 150.00% and 106.76% respectively. The
worst performers included Baozun, Inc. Sponsored ADR Class A and LendingTree,
Inc., which returned -52.72% and -50.13% respectively.
The global
e-commerce market continued to benefit from the COVID-19 pandemic over the
reporting period, as consumers chose to purchase goods from afar. Even as
countries loosened social distancing stipulations, consumers continued to turn
to digital marketplaces for convenience and safety reasons. Although e-commerce
sales as a percent of total retail sales in the United States fell somewhat with
easing lockdowns, its market share is still well above comparable periods prior
to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, e-commerce vendors have proven more
resilient than their brick-and-mortar counterparts to supply chain disruption
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. E-commerce companies tend to swap product
offerings and source alternative suppliers quicker than conventional retailers,
a valuable trait for adapting to the now rampant bottlenecks. During the
reporting period, sector weightings were highest in Consumer Discretionary at
74%, followed by Communication Services (22.1%). Geographically, the Fund
maintained an average allocation of 56.3% to United States stocks, followed by
China (23.5%) and the United Kingdom (5.7%) during the reporting period.

The Global
X Emerging Markets Internet & E-commerce ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide
investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance,
before fees and expenses, of the NASDAQ CTA Emerging Markets Internet &
E-commerce Net 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 provide exposure to exchange-listed companies
that are expected to benefit from further adoption of internet and e-commerce
technologies in emerging markets, as defined by Nasdaq, Inc., the provider of
the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”) and the Consumer Technology
Association (“CTA”). The Index Provider and the CTA jointly developed the
eligibility and selection criteria for the Underlying Index. In order to be
eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, a company must derive at least
50% of its revenue, operating income, or assets from: (i) internet-related
services (including social media and online entertainment); (ii) internet retail
commerce; (iii) internet search engine services; and/or (iv) software delivered
via the internet.
From the
inception of the Fund to the period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting
period”), the Fund decreased 18.93%, while the Underlying Index decreased
18.41%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.79 per share on November 9, 2020
and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.99 per share on
October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Kakao Corp. and Bilibili,
Inc. Sponsored ADR Class Z, which returned 84.72% and 64.09%, respectively. The
worst performers included New Oriental Education & Technology Group, Inc.
Sponsored ADR and Koolearn Technology Holding Limited, which returned -87.22%
and -82.29%, respectively.
Emerging
markets, which tend to be most susceptible to downturns in the global economy,
faced several challenges during the reporting period as COVID-19 variants
lingered and spread, energy crises arose, and supply chain constraints
heightened. The COVID-19 pandemic’s impact initially caused a setback in the
progress emerging market economies made in previous decades due to a widening
income gap and the lack of access to work-from-home capabilities that developed
countries have. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic resurging sporadically in some
regions and reducing expendable income for vulnerable workers, the primary
sectors leading growth in developing economies amid the COVID-19 pandemic
include Internet and E-Commerce. China, a primary emerging market, is the acting
world leader in e-commerce, with an industry size nearly three times larger than
that of the United States. Additionally, the country has nearly one billion
internet users, representing more than

one-fifth
of the global user base. Yet increasing regulatory scrutiny in China towards the
end of the reporting period severely hurt the performance of many leading
Chinese internet and e-commerce companies. During the reporting period, sector
weightings of the Fund were highest in Communication Services at 56.7%, ahead of
Consumer Discretionary at 35.4%. Geographically, the Fund maintained an average
allocation of 70.1% to Chinese stocks, followed by South Korean (8.7%) and

held by the Fund have some of the highest dividend yields in the world. As the
COVID-19 pandemic eased, high-dividend-yield sectors, such as Real Estate and
Energy, strongly rallied during the reporting period, contributing to the Fund’s
robust performance. The Fund’s strategy performed well during the fiscal year,
given the low-interest-rate environment, outperforming the broader MSCI ACWI
Index. During the reporting period, the Fund had an approximate average exposure
of 27% to U.S. stocks, 16% to Chinese stocks, 8% to Hong Kong stocks, and 6% to
U.K. stocks. By sector, it averaged an approximate exposure of 27% to Real
Estate Investment Trusts, 25% to Financial Services, 14% to Energy, and 9% to
Mortgage Materials.

The MSCI
ACWI (Net) (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. 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 waiver sand/or expense
reimbursements (if applicable), returns would have been lower.

U.S. ETF
The Global
X SuperDividend®
U.S. ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally
to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx
SuperDividend®
U.S. Low Volatility 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 maintained by Indxx, LLC, (the “Index Provider”). The
Underlying Index tracks the performance of a maximum of 50 equally weighted
common stocks, Master Limited Partnerships, and Real Estate Investment Trusts
that rank among the highest dividend yielding equity securities in the United
States, as defined by the Index Provider. The components of the Underlying Index
will have also paid dividends consistently over the last two years. The
Underlying Index is comprised of securities that the Index Provider determines
to have lower relative volatility than the market.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 42.53%, while the Underlying Index increased 42.80%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $14.99 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $20.13 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from MPLX LP and Compass
Diversified Holdings, which returned 96.26% and 88.46%, respectively. The worst
performers included National Presto Industries, Inc. and PetMed Express, Inc.,
which returned -18.62% and -17.24%, respectively.
The Fund
invests in many of the highest-yielding stocks in the United States.
High-dividend investing is a value-oriented strategy, which seeks to produce
low-volatility returns. The strategy performed well during the fiscal year,
given the low-interest-rate environment and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic,
outperforming the broader S&P 500®
Index. The Fund’s exposure to sectors aided by the reopening from the COVID-19
pandemic, such as Real Estate and Energy, added to the strong performance during
the reporting period relative to the benchmark. During the fiscal year, by
sector, the Fund averaged an exposure of 23% to Consumer Staples, 19% to Energy,
13% to Real Estate, and 12% to Utilities. Given the income-oriented nature of
these sectors, they could be affected by changes in interest rates, particularly
in the short term.

Top 50 Dividend 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 performance of 50 equally-weighted companies that
rank among the highest dividend yielding equity securities from international
developed markets across Europe, Australasia, and the Far East as defined by
MSCI, the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 43.05%, while the Underlying Index increased 44.08%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $11.44 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $15.62 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya
Argentaria, S.A. and Klepierre S.A., which returned 121.69% and 101.38%,
respectively. The worst performers included Rio Tinto Limited and Aurizon
Holdings Ltd., which returned -22.39% and -12.96%, respectively.
The Fund
tracks performance of 50 equally weighted companies that rank among the highest
dividend yielding securities in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. Developed
international markets began recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
and value stocks, in particular, benefited from an improved global economy. A
lifting of travel and lockdown restrictions boosted cyclical businesses and, by
extension, the financial systems in developed markets. The recovery in Western
European economies drove much of the Fund’s returns during the reporting period.
During the reporting period, sector weighting reported highest in Financials
(31.5%), followed by Communication Services (13.4%). The Fund has the highest
average exposure to U.K. stocks at 22%, ahead of Japan (10.7%), France (9.4%),
and Hong Kong (8.2%).

The Global

Emerging Markets ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and
expenses, of the MSCI Emerging Markets Top 50 Dividend 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 performance of 50 equally-weighted companies that
rank among the highest dividend yielding equity securities in emerging markets,
as defined by MSCI, the provider of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index
may include components from the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China,
Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan,
Romania, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and United Arab
Emirates. The Underlying Index begins with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index,
which is a capitalization weighted index, as its starting universe, and then
follows a rules-based methodology that is designed to select among the highest
dividend yielding equity securities of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 25.83%, while the Underlying Index increased 27.69%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $9.53 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $11.26 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from China Power International
Development Ltd. and PhosAgro, which returned 185.4% and 127.65%, respectively.
The worst performers included China Fortune Land Development Co Ltd. and China
Aoyuan Group Limited, which returned -74.51% and -57.6%, respectively.
Stocks held
in the Fund are among those with the highest dividend yields in the emerging
markets. During the reporting period, the low-interest-rate environment
globally, combined with effective COVID-19 vaccine distribution, accelerated the
reopening of emerging economies, setting up economic recovery in many emerging
nations. Emerging markets also benefited from escalating commodity prices on
supply constraints, combined with elevated demand over the fiscal year. During
the reporting period, the Fund averaged an approximate stock exposure of 27% in
China, 10% in Russia, 8% in Brazil, and 8% in South Africa. By sector, it had
the highest exposure to Financials (27%), followed by Real Estate (18%),
Materials (14%), and Energy (12%) during the reporting period.

REIT ETF
The Global
X SuperDividend®
REIT ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally
to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive
Global SuperDividend®
REIT 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 performance of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(“REITs”) that rank among the highest yielding REITs globally, as determined by
Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. Solactive AG screens the
highest yielding REITs to exclude REITs that have historically exhibited the
highest volatility, as determined by the index provider.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 38.84%, while the Underlying Index increased 39.33%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $7.56 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $9.82 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Chimera Investment
Corporation and Iron Mountain, Inc., which returned 105.78% and 86.79%,
respectively. The worst performers included Fibra Uno and CapitaLand China
Trust, which returned -8.26% and -7.91%, respectively.
The Fund invests in REITs, which
have some of the highest dividend yields worldwide. During the reporting period,
REITs registered solid performance, exploiting the robust recovery of the global
economy from the COVID-19 pandemic. Given their higher yielding nature, REITs
continued to catch investors’ attention in a low-interest-rate environment at
the start of the fiscal year. As the reopening accelerated in the second quarter
of 2021 and global mobility resumed, demand for real estate increased. Concerns
about inflation also led investors to turn to REITs, since higher costs can
often be passed along to tenants. During the reporting period, the Fund averaged
an approximate exposure of 65% to Mortgage REITs and 35% to Financials.
Geographically, the United States led average approximate exposure at 74%,
followed by Canada (9%) and Australia (8%).

Call ETF
The Global
X NASDAQ® 100
Covered Call ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
CBOE NASDAQ-100-100®
BuyWrite V2 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 CBOE
NASDAQ-100®
BuyWrite Index (“BXN Index”) is a benchmark index that measures the performance
of a theoretical portfolio that holds a variety of the stocks included in the
NASDAQ-100®
Index (“Reference Index”) and “writes” (or sells) a succession of one-month
at-the-money (“ATM”) Reference Index covered call options. The Underlying Index
replicates the methodology used to calculate the BXN Index, with one exception:
the written Reference Index covered call options are held until one day prior to
the expiration date (i.e., generally the Thursday preceding the third Friday of
the month) and are liquidated at a volume weighted average price determined at
the close.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 23.89%, while the Underlying Index increased 24.46%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $20.65 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $22.82 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Moderna, Inc., and Tesla
Inc., which returned 411.65% and 187.08%, respectively. The worst performers
included Zoom Video Communications Inc., and Peloton Interactive Inc., which
returned -40.41% and -34.61%, respectively.
The Fund
invests in stocks on the NASDAQ-100® and
“writes” or “sells” corresponding call options on the Reference Index. The
strategy tends to produce higher yields in volatile and uncertain times, when it
can collect higher option premiums. The Fund underperformed the benchmark, the
NASDAQ-100®,
during the reporting period, as volatility subsided over the fiscal year,
reducing the amount of premiums received on written options. The Fund’s
performance was affected as stocks rallied over the period, with progress in
COVID-19 vaccinations leading to a shift from a stay-at-home economy to a
reopening economy. The Fund collected high option premiums when the market was
volatile, but the NASDAQ-100®
market rally later in the period limited the upside at the Fund level due to the
ATM options writing. The Fund benefited from the constituents of NASDAQ-100®,
which performed positively during the reporting period. Given the Fund’s
options-writing strategy, it loses profit potential if the Reference Index rises
above the strike price of the index call option.

Global
X S&P 500® Covered
Call ETF
The Global
X S&P 500®
Covered Call ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite 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 measures the total rate of return of a S&P 500®
Index covered call strategy. This strategy consists of holding a portfolio
indexed to the S&P 500®
Index and selling a succession of one-month at-the-money S&P 500®
Index call options. A covered call strategy is generally considered to be an
investment strategy in which an investor buys a security, and sells (or
“writes”) a call option on that security in an attempt to generate more income.
Each time the Fund writes a covered call option, the Fund receives a payment of
money from the investor who buys the option from the Fund, which is called the
premium. If the value of the Fund’s call option that it has written declines
because of a decline in the value of the S&P 500®
Index, the premium that the Fund received for writing the covered call option
offsets this loss to some extent.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 30.67%, while the Underlying Index increased 31.54%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $42.45 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $50.37 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Devon Energy Corporation and
Diamondback Energy Inc., which returned 370.78% and 324.25%, respectively. The
worst performers included Penn National Gaming Inc., and MarketAxess Holdings
Inc., which returned -39.00% and -23.77%, respectively.
The Fund
invests in stocks listed on the S&P 500®
Index and “writes” or “sells” corresponding call options on the same index. The
S&P 500®
Index generated strong returns in the reporting period, reaching record levels,
which contributed to the Fund’s performance. However, the Fund’s gains were
constrained by call-option writing, leading to underperformance versus the broad
S&P 500®
Index. The Fund collected high option premiums when the market was volatile, but
the stock rally later in the period affected its performance. The S&P
500®
Index improved in the period with accommodative Federal Reserve policies, the
reopening economy, and strong earnings. Given the Fund’s options-writing
strategy, it cedes potential profit when the Underlying Index advances above the
strike price of the index call option.

Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF
The Global
X Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results
that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and
expenses, of the CBOE Russell 2000 BuyWrite 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 measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio that holds
a portfolio of the stocks included in the Russell 2000 Index (the “Reference
Index”), and “writes” (or sells) a succession of one-month at-the-money covered
call options on the Reference Index. The written covered call options on the
Reference Index are held until expiration. The Reference Index is an equity
benchmark which measures the performance of the small-capitalization sector of
the U.S. equity market, as defined by FTSE Russell, the provider of the
Underlying Index. In seeking to track the Underlying Index, the Fund follows a
“buywrite” (also called a covered call) investment strategy on the Reference
Index in which the Fund purchases the component securities of the Reference
Index or purchases other investments (including other underlying ETFs) that have
economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic
characteristics of such component securities, and also writes (or sells) call
options that correspond to the Reference Index.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 38.82%, while the Underlying Index increased 39.62%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $20.45 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $25.18 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF, the only holding of the Fund,
returned 50.63%.
The Fund
invests in the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF, which invests in the underlying
holdings of the Russell 2000 Index and “writes” or “sells” corresponding call
options on the same index. During the reporting period, U.S. small cap stocks
strongly rallied at the end of 2020 and in the early stages of 2021. However,
small cap stocks did not perform as well for the rest of the reporting period,
with waves of COVID-19 outbreaks, news about the Federal Reserve’s tapering
plans, and inflation worries. The U.S. Dollar was generally on an upward
trajectory, which helped domestic-oriented small cap stocks. High volatility in
the small-cap space and broader market saw the Fund collect higher option
premiums during the reporting period. Given the Fund’s options-writing strategy,
it cedes potential profit when the Russell 2000 Index advances above the strike
price of the index call option.

The Global

Covered Call & Growth ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and
expenses, of the CBOE Nasdaq-100®
Half BuyWrite V2 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 measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio that holds
a portfolio of the stocks included in the Nasdaq 100®
Index (the “Reference Index”), and “writes” (or sells) a succession of one-month
at-the-money covered call options on the Reference Index. The written covered
call options on the Reference Index correspond to approximately 50% of the value
of the portfolio of stocks in the Reference Index. The written covered call
options on the Reference Index are held until one day prior to expiration. By
only writing call options on approximately 50% of the value of the portfolio of
stocks in the Reference Index, the strategy can provide income generation from
call options while allowing for some potential upside exposure to the growth of
the underlying constituents of the Reference Index, relative to a 100% covered
call strategy.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 33.42%, while the Underlying Index increased 34.37%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $26.27 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $33.09 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from Moderna Inc and Tesla Inc, which
returned 411.65% and 187.08%, respectively. The worst performers included Zoom
Video Communications Inc. and Peloton Interactive Inc, which returned -40.41%
and -34.61%, respectively.
The Fund
follows a “covered call” or “buy-write” strategy, buying stocks on the
Nasdaq-100®
and “writing” or “selling” corresponding call options on approximately 50%
of the value of the portfolio of stocks on the same index. Over the reporting
period, the Fund collected high option premiums when the market was volatile,
and participated in some of the market rally in the Nasdaq-100®.
Technology stocks performed well over the reporting period, with the higher
adoption of technologies and the low interest rate environment. The Fund
underperformed the Nasdaq-100®
due to the call options written to generate income.

The Global

Preferred ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond

S&P Enhanced Yield North American Preferred Stock 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 performance of the highest-yielding preferred
securities in the United States and Canada, as determined by Standard &
Poor’s Financial Services, LLC, a subsidiary of the
McGraw-Hill Companies (“S&P”), the provider of
the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index is comprised of preferred
stocks that meet certain criteria relating to
size, liquidity, issuer concentration and
rating, maturity and other requirements, as
determined by S&P. The Underlying Index does
not seek to directly reflect the performance of the companies
issuing the preferred stock.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 13.71%, while the Underlying Index increased 14.56%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $11.12 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $11.94 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Sabre Corporation and
Crestwood Equity Partners LP, which returned 103.17% and 84.75%, respectively.
The worst performers included ViacomCBS Inc., and Becton Dickinson, which
returned
-6.51% and
-4.80%, respectively.
The Fund
invests in preferred shares, with some of the highest dividend yields in the
United States and Canada. Globally, effective COVID-19 vaccination programs
drove economic growth during the reporting period. During the reporting period,
accomodative Federal Reserve policies kept rates low and credit spreads tight,
driving interest in higher yielding assets, such as preferred stock. Investors
also refocused their attention on preferred stocks due to their considerable
sector exposure to Financials, which benefits from a stronger economy. During
the reporting period, the Fund had an approximate average sector exposure of 58%
to Financials, 8% to Information Technology, and 6% to Energy.

Global
X Renewable Energy Producers ETF
The Global
X Renewable Energy Producers ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results
that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and
expenses, of the Indxx Renewable Energy Producers 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 a net total return index designed to track the performance
of companies that are involved in the generation, distribution, transmission, or
providing infrastructure to the renewable energy space, as defined by Indxx, the
provider of the Underlying Index.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 15.37%, while the Underlying Index increased 15.96%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $14.87 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $16.82 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from China Longyuan Power Group Corp.
Ltd. Class H and Gunkul Engineering Public Co. Ltd. NVDR, which returned 246.40%
and 163.12%, respectively. The worst performers were Scatec ASA and Azure Power
Global Ltd., which returned -48.25% and -37.25%, respectively.
Durable
tailwinds resulted in solid performance for renewable energy producers despite
significant obstacles over the reporting period. The COVID-19 pandemic continued
to disrupt supply chains across several sectors, driving up prices and making it
more difficult for renewable energy producers to acquire equipment or
components. However, costs associated with renewable energy remained competitive
against traditional energy sources in most markets, especially as oil and gas
prices rallied higher. Increasing demand for power globally and mounting urgency
to address climate change also drove the segment forward during the reporting
period. Notably, the United States reported record renewable energy consumption
in the first half of 2021, while key markets such as China, the European Union,
and Canada continued to add capacity. Increasingly forthcoming international
commitments coupled with new technologies such as green hydrogen could continue
to expand the reach of clean energy. Sector weightings of the Fund were reported
to be the highest in Utilities, at 88.3%. Geographically, the Fund maintained an
average allocation of 14.6% to United States stocks, followed by New Zealand
(9.6%) and Canada (8.5%).

Catholic Values ETF
The Global
X S&P 500®
Catholic Values ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
S&P 500®
Catholic Values 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 provide exposure to U.S. equity securities
included in the S&P 500®
Index while maintaining alignment with the moral and social teachings of the
Catholic Church. The Underlying Index applies exclusion criteria to the
constituents of the S&P 500®
Index in order to create a benchmark aligned with the moral and social teachings
of the Catholic Church. These values are consistent with the Socially
Responsible Investment Guidelines outlined by the United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The Underlying Index is designed for investors who do
not want to breach religious norms in their passive investment strategies. The
Underlying Index is reweighted quarterly so that its sector exposures match the
sector exposures of the S&P 500®
Index..
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 43.54%, while the Underlying Index increased 43.94%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $40.32 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $57.22 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from Devon Energy Corporation and
Diamondback Energy Inc., which returned 370.78% and 324.25%, respectively. The
worst performers were MarketAxess Holdings Inc., and Incyte Corporation which
returned -23.77% and -22.69%, respectively.
The Fund
provides exposure to companies within the S&P 500®
Index whose business practices align with the investment guidelines set by the
USCCB. As of October 31, 2021, the Fund had 474 equity holdings compared with
the 505 holdings of the S&P 500®
Index. To mitigate the potential performance differences between the S&P
500®
Index and the Fund, the Fund’s sector exposures are reweighted to align with
those of the S&P 500®
Index on a quarterly basis. Because of supportive fiscal and monetary policies
in the U.S., during the reporting period the economy experienced a strong
recovery and corporate profitability increased, all helping to propel equity
markets. Over the reporting period, Information Technology had the highest
average sector weighting of 28% in the Fund, followed by Health Care at 13% and
Financials at 12%.

The Global

results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before
fees and expenses, of the S&P Developed ex-U.S. Catholic Values 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 provide exposure to developed market equity
securities outside the U.S. while maintaining alignment with the moral and
social teachings of the Catholic Church. The Underlying Index applies exclusion
criteria to the constituents of the S&P EPAC ex-Korea Large Cap Index in
order to create a benchmark aligned with Catholic values. These values are
consistent with the Social Responsible Investment Guidelines outlined by the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The Underlying Index is
designed for investors who do not want to breach religious norms in their
passive investment strategies. The Underlying Index is reweighted quarterly so
that the Underlying Index’s sector exposures match the sector exposures of the
S&P EPAC ex-Korea Large Cap Index.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 33.79%, while the Underlying Index increased 34.43%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $24.98 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $32.8 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from Ascendas REIT and Norsk Hydro
ASA which returned 518.75% and 177.76%, respectively. The worst performers were
China Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group Ltd. and Alibaba Health Information
Technology Ltd. which returned -86.88% and -63.38%, respectively.
The Fund
provides exposure to companies in developed markets outside of the U.S., whose
business practices align with the investment guidelines set by the USCCB. To
mitigate the potential performance differences between the Fund and traditional
International equity benchmarks, the Fund’s sector exposures are reweighted to
align with those of the S&P EPAC ex-Korea Large Cap Index on a quarterly
basis. During the reporting period, Financials had the highest average weighting
of 17% in the Fund, followed by Industrials at 15% and Health Care at 13%.
Geographically, the Fund had an approximate average exposure of 32% to Japan,
10% to Australia, 9% to the United Kingdom.

Global
X Guru®
Index ETF
The Global
X Global X Guru®
Index ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally
to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive
Guru 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 comprised of the top U.S. listed equity positions reported
on Form 13F by a select group of entities that Solactive AG (the “Index
Provider”) characterizes as hedge funds. Hedge funds are selected from a pool of
thousands of privately offered pooled investment vehicles based on the size of
their reported equity holdings and the efficacy of replicating their publicly
disclosed positions. Additional filters are applied to eliminate hedge funds
that have high turnover rates for equity holdings. Only hedge funds with
concentrated top holdings are included in the selection process. Once the hedge
fund pool has been determined, the Index Provider utilizes 13F filings to
compile the top stock holding from each of these hedge funds. The stocks are
screened for liquidity and equal weighted.
For the
12-month period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund
increased 37.43%, while the Underlying Index increased 37.36%. The Fund had a
net asset value of $37.31 per share on October 31, 2020 and ended the reporting
period with a net asset value of $50.24 per share on October 31, 2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from Tenet Healthcare Corporation and
Cheniere Energy Inc., which returned 192.01% and 116%, respectively. The worst
performers were Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc. and Amicus Therapeutics Inc.,
which returned -64.43% and -49.52%, respectively.
The Fund’s
investments are among the highest-conviction U.S.-listed equity positions
reported on Form 13F by major hedge funds. Over the reporting period, the Fund
delivered positive performance but trailed the S&P 500®
Index. Quarterly rebalancing results in dynamic exposures, which can change
significantly through the year. The Fund benefited from its exposure to the
Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication Services
sectors, which delivered strong performance compared to other sectors. The
Fund’s underperformance relative to the S&P 500®
Index was primarily the result of more limited exposure in the Information
Technology sector, as well as underperformance in stock selection in that
sector. Poor stock selection in the Health Care sector also negatively
contributed to performance relative to the S&P 500®
Index.

The Global

Tail Risk ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
Cboe S&P 500 Tail Risk 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 measures the performance of a risk management strategy that
holds the underlying stocks of the S&P 500®
Index and applies a protective put strategy (i.e. long put options) on the
S&P 500®
Index. The Underlying Index specifically reflects the performance of the
component securities of the S&P 500®
Index, combined with a long position in 10% out-of-the-money (“OTM”) put options
that correspond to the value of the portfolio of stocks in the S&P 500®
Index.
From the
inception of the Fund to the period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting
period”), the Fund increased 1.43%, while the Underlying Index increased 1.59%.
The Fund had a net asset value of $27.33 per share on August 25, 2021 and ended
the reporting period with a net asset value of $27.72 per share on October 31,
2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from Tesla Inc., and Coterra Energy
Inc., which returned 56.64% and 45.53%, respectively. The worst performers were
Biogen Inc., and DaVita Inc., which returned -22.19% and -21.05%,
respectively.
The Fund
invests in the stocks in the S&P 500®
Index, while buying OTM put options on the S&P 500®
Index. While the strategy provides uncapped growth potential, it offers a
measure of downside risk, mitigating significant selloffs of greater than
approximately -10% between the purchase of the put option and its expiration in
three months. Since its launch, the Fund has benefited from the S&P 500’s
equity market rally. Accommodative monetary policies and earnings growth drove
some of the Underlying Index’s gains during the reporting period. Nonetheless,
the gains were pared by costs associated with protection-buying puts, causing a
measure of underperformance versus the S&P 500®
Index.

Risk Managed Income ETF
The Global
X S&P 500®
Risk Managed Income ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and
expenses, of the Cboe S&P 500 Risk Managed Income 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 measures the performance of a risk managed income strategy that
holds the underlying stocks of the S&P 500®
Index and applies an options collar strategy (i.e., a mix of short (sold) call
options and long (purchased) put options) on the S&P 500®
Index. The Underlying Index specifically reflects the performance of the
component securities of the S&P 500®
Index, combined with a long position in the 5% out-of-the-money (“OTM”) put
options and a short position in at-the-money (“ATM”) call options, each
corresponding to the value of the portfolio of stocks in the S&P 500®
Index. The options collar seeks to generate a net-credit, meaning that the
premium received from the sale of the call options is greater than the premium
paid when buying the put options.
From the
inception of the Fund to the period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting
period”), the Fund increased 1.60%, while the Underlying Index increased 1.82%.
The Fund had a net asset value of $26.77 per share on August 25, 2021 and ended
the reporting period with a net asset value of $26.83 per share on October 31,
2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Tesla Inc. and Coterra Energy
Inc., which returned 56.64% and 45.53%, respectively. The worst performers
included Biogen Inc. and DaVita Inc., which returned -22.19% and -21.05%,
respectively.
The Fund’s
options collar strategy tends to produce higher yields in volatile and uncertain
times, allowing the Fund to collect higher option premiums and mitigate risks
arising from a major market selloff through the purchase of protective puts.
Since its launch, the Fund has been earning income from the volatility inherent
to equities; as volatility increases, option premiums become more expensive,
resulting in a greater net credit when selling the ATM call option and buying
the OTM put option. The S&P 500®
also finished modestly higher in the period, benefiting the Fund.

Collar 95-110 ETF
The Global
X S&P 500®
Collar 95-110 ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
Cboe S&P 500 3-Month Collar 95-110 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 measures the performance of a risk management strategy that
holds the underlying stocks of the S&P 500®
Index and applies an options collar strategy (i.e., a mix of short call options
and long put options) on the S&P 500®
Index. The Underlying Index specifically reflects the performance of the
component securities of the S&P 500®
Index, combined with a long position in 5% out-of-the-money (“OTM”) put options
and a short position in 10% OTM call options, each corresponding to the value of
the portfolio of stocks in the S&P 500®
Index.
From the
inception of the Fund to the period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting
period”), the Fund increased 1.06%, while the Underlying Index increased 1.12%.
The Fund had a net asset value of $27.28 per share on August 25, 2021 and ended
the reporting period with a net asset value of $27.57 per share on October 31,
2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from Tesla Inc. and Coterra Energy
Inc., which returned 56.64% and 45.53%, respectively. The worst performers were
Biogen Inc. and DaVita Inc., which returned -22.19% and -21.05%,
respectively.
The Fund
invests in the stocks in the S&P 500®
Index, while applying a net-debit options collar strategy, meaning the cost of
the purchased put option is expected to surpass the premiums received from
selling the call option. The strategy is designed for investing in a broad
basket of U.S. equities, while capping the upside at 10% over the three-month
option period and limiting the downside to 5%. The intention is to balance
between limiting the downside and retaining upside potential, while ensuring the
strategy is not too costly to implement. Returns during the reporting period
finished modestly higher as market expectations were tapered with hawkish
monetary policies and concerns about potential further waves of COVID-19
outbreaks. Since its launch, the Fund’s returns were range-bound within the
collar strategy the Fund is designed to implement.

The Global
X NASDAQ®
100 Tail Risk ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond
generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the
NASDAQ -100 Quarterly Protective Put 90 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 measures the performance of a risk management strategy that
holds the underlying stocks of the NASDAQ-100®
Index and applies a protective put strategy by purchasing long put options on
the NASDAQ-100®
Index. The Underlying Index specifically reflects the performance of the
component securities of the NASDAQ-100®
Index, combined with a long position in 10% out-of-the-money (“OTM”) put options
that correspond to the value of the portfolio of stocks in the NASDAQ-100®
Index.
From the
inception of the Fund to period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”),
the Fund increased 1.83%, while the Underlying Index increased 1.8%. The Fund
had a net asset value of $25.13 per share on August 25, 2021 and ended the
reporting period with a net asset value of $25.59 per share on October 31,
2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns came from Tesla Inc. and Atlassian Corp
PLC which returned 56.64% and 29.63%, respectively. The worst performers were
Biogen Inc. and Peloton Interactive Inc., which returned -22.19% and -21.34%,
respectively.
The Fund
invests in the stocks in the NASDAQ-100®
Index, while buying OTM put options on the same index. While the strategy
provides uncapped growth potential, it offers a measure of downside risk,
mitigating significant selloffs of greater than approximately -10% between the
purchase of the put and the options’ expiration in three months. Tail risk
strategies can crimp potential downside risks while helping investors
participate in rising markets. Since its launch, the Fund has benefited from the
equity rally in the underlying stocks of the NASDAQ-100®
Index. Nonetheless, the gains have been pared by costs associated with
protection-buying puts, causing a measure of underperformance versus the
NASDAQ-100®
Index.

The Global

Risk Managed Income ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that
correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and
expenses, of the NASDAQ-100 Monthly Net Credit Collar 95-100 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 measures the performance of a risk managed income strategy that
holds the underlying stocks of the NASDAQ-100®
Index and applies an options collar strategy (i.e., a mix of short (sold) call
options and long (purchased) put options) on the NASDAQ-100®
Index. The Underlying Index specifically reflects the performance of the
component securities of the NASDAQ-100®
Index, combined with a long position in the 5% out-of-the-money (“OTM”) put
options and a short position in at-the-money (“ATM”) call options, each
corresponding to the value of the portfolio of stocks in the NASDAQ-100®
Index. The options collar strategy seeks to generate a net-credit, meaning that
the premium received from the sale of the call options is greater than the
premium paid when buying the put options.
From the
inception of the Fund to period ended October 31, 2021 (the “reporting period”),
the Fund decreased 0.69%, while the Underlying Index decreased 1.11%. The Fund
had a net asset value of $24.60 per share on August 25, 2021 and ended the
reporting period with a net asset value of $24.12 per share on October 31,
2021.
During the
reporting period, the highest returns derived from Tesla Inc. and Atlassian Corp
PLC, which returned 56.64% and 29.63%, respectively. The worst performers
included Biogen Inc. and Peloton Interactive Inc., which returned -22.19% and
-21.34%, respectively.
The Fund’s
options collar strategy seeks to produce higher yields in volatile and uncertain
times, allowing the Fund to collect higher option premiums and mitigate risks
arising from a major market selloff through the purchase of protective
puts.
Since its
launch, the Fund has been earning income from the volatility inherent to
equities. As volatility increases, option premiums become more expensive,
resulting in a greater net credit when selling ATM call options and buying OTM
put options. The Fund finished slightly down for the reporting period, as rising
bond yields negatively affected technology and growth stocks to which the
NASDAQ-100®
Index is heavily exposed. The net positive premiums generated by the Fund helped
offset some of the losses.
