Management Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Global X MSCI Colombia ETF

 

 

Global X MSCI Colombia ETF

 

The Global X MSCI Colombia ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Colombia Select 25/50 Index (the “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 represent the performance of the broad Colombia equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”), the provider of the Underlying Index. The Broad Colombia Equity Universe includes securities that are classified in Colombia according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Colombia and carry out the majority of their operations in Colombia.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 9.09%, while the Underlying Index increased 9.43%. The Fund had a net asset value of $19.68 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.03 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Cementos Argos SA and Millicom INTL Cellular-SDR, which returned 82.96% and 44.41%, respectively. The worst performers were Geopark Ltd and Canacol Energy Ltd, which returned -27.11% and -26.18%, respectively.

 

The Fund generated positive returns during the reporting period as the Colombian government’s economic and security policies improved sentiment and domestic demand. The reduction of inflation following interest rate hikes by the Bank of Colombia reflected a better environment for local companies. The decision to halt new oil and gas exploration added uncertainty into Colombia’s long-term energy security and resulted in increased energy prices and respective stock valuations of upstream companies held within the Fund. Additionally, reduced mining activities created more investment opportunities in renewable energies, infrastructure, and technology sectors, followed by a significant increase of foreign direct investments in the country. By sector, the Fund had the highest exposure to Financials at 38.70%, Energy at 24.61% and Utilities at 21.02%.

*Fund commenced operations on February 5, 2009.

**Reflects performance of the FTSE Colombia 20 Index through July 14, 2014, the MSCI All Colombia Capped Index through August 30, 2016 and the MSCI All Colombia Select 25/50 Index, thereafter. The inception of the MSCI All Colombia Select 25/50 Index (“New Index”) was on July 15, 2016. Effective on or around August 31, 2016, the Fund began to track the New Index. This change was due to the planned migration to the New Index, potentially improving the trading characteristics of the Fund.

 

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of 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 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.

Global X MSCI China Industrials ETF

 

The Global X MSCI China Industrials ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Industrials 10/50 Index (the “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 companies in the MSCI China Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the Industrials sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Additionally, the Underlying Index utilizes a 10/50 concentration constraint whereby the weight of each group entity in the Underlying Index is capped at 10% and the cumulative weight of all group entities with a weight in excess of 5% does not exceed 50% of the Underlying Index by weight.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 0.37%, while the Underlying Index increased 0.30%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.93 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $10.48 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Sany Heavy Equipment International Holdings Co., Ltd. and Weichai Power Co., Ltd. Class H, which returned 63.24% and 62.16%, respectively. The worst performers were Ginlong Technologies Co., Ltd. Class A and Pylon Technologies Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned -64.09% and -62.78%, respectively.

 

The Fund had modestly negative returns during the reporting period due to weak manufacturing activity, lower global demand, and normalizing shipping rates. Chinese manufacturing activity declined alongside Chinese exports as factories struggled to find buyers for goods abroad during the reporting period. At the same time, a lack of cash among property developers led to less construction of homes and buildings during the reporting period, which in turn reduced demand for industrial goods associated with real estate. As China dealt with economic headwinds at home, the Chinese Government slowed its investments into the Belt and Road Initiative, which decreased the number of international opportunities for industrial firms. Furthermore, shipping holdings within the Fund were adversely impacted by a fall in container freight prices that continued for a majority of the reporting period.

Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF

 

The Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Consumer Discretionary 10/50 Index (the “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 companies in the MSCI China Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the Consumer Discretionary sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 22.10%, while the Underlying Index increased 22.87%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.55 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.72 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Seres Group Co. Ltd. Class A and New Oriental Education & Technology Group, Inc., which returned 206.87% and 167.25%, respectively. The worst performers were China MeiDong Auto Holdings Ltd. and China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation Limited Class H, which returned -58.61% and -54.74%, respectively.

 

The Fund generated positive returns over the reporting period, driven by a reopening of the economy from China’s COVID-19 lockdown policies, an increase in automobile exports, and new business models for education companies. After COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were lifted at the beginning of the reporting period, a significant portion of Chinese consumers resumed international tourism and supported travel holdings in the Fund. The return of Chinese consumers to domestic tourist locations lifted revenues for restaurant and leisure names in the Fund. Furthermore, the rise of Chinese automobile exports and increased competitiveness of Chinese electric vehicle makers increased investor sentiment toward Fund holdings during the reporting period.

The worst performers were Kunlun Tech Co., Ltd. Class A and Giant Network Group Co. Ltd. Class A, which returned -40.85% and -40.03%, respectively.

 

The Fund generated positive returns over the reporting period, driven by an expansion in telecommunications infrastructure and increased service offerings in China. The growth of digital economic activities was attributable to the widened coverage of fiber optics, driving internet service adoption in China. Consumer shifts towards emerging technologies, coupled with higher wages supported optimism towards the Communication Services sector. Furthermore, the growing adoption of advanced information technology services like mobile payments, social media, and online gaming improved Communication Services sector sentiment amongst investors. Lastly, the Chinese government’s decision to provide monetary easing helped stabilize broader economic activity and positively impact constituents within the Fund over the course of the reporting period.

The Global X MSCI China Financials ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Financials 10/50 Index (the “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 companies in the MSCI China Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the financials sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Additionally, the Underlying Index utilizes a 10/50 concentration constraint whereby the weight of each group entity in the Underlying Index is capped at 10% and the cumulative weight of all group entities with a weight in excess of 5% does not exceed 50% of the Underlying Index by weight.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 22.51%, while the Underlying Index increased 23.54%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.78 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.29 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from China Pacific Insurance (Group) Co., Ltd. Class H and Hithink Royal Flush Information Network Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned 61.38% and 53.02%, respectively. The worst performers were Lufax Holding Ltd Sponsored ADR Class A and Bank of Nanjing Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned -36.66% and -19.16%, respectively.

 

The Fund generated positive returns over the reporting period as low valuations and new Chinese government initiatives increased investor sentiment towards Chinese banks. As financials sector troubles unfolded in the U.S. and Europe, investors believed Chinese banks were more secure due to Chinese government support and perceptions of stable asset quality. Investor preference for Chinese banks over foreign counterparts served as a tailwind for the Fund’s performance. Chinese bank stocks were further supported by positive investor sentiment towards government-led efforts to boost state-owned enterprise valuations. Towards the end of the reporting period, the purchase of major Chinese bank stocks by China’s sovereign wealth fund provided a short-term boost to Chinese financials performance.

Global X MSCI China Energy ETF

 

 

Global X MSCI China Energy ETF

 

The Global X MSCI China Energy ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Energy IMI Plus 10/50 Index (the “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 companies in the MSCI China Investable Market Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the Energy sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Additionally, the Underlying Index utilizes a 10/50 concentration constraint whereby the weight of each issuer in the Underlying Index is capped at 10% and the cumulative weight of all issuers with a weight in excess of 5% does not exceed 50% of the Underlying Index by weight.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 19.22%, while the Underlying Index increased 20.14%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.64 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $15.28 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from PetroChina Company Limited Class H and CGN Mining Co. Ltd., which returned 85.62% and 75.91%, respectively. The worst performers were Productive Technologies Company Limited and Shan Xi Hua Yang Group New Energy Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned -34.37% and -23.42%, respectively.

 

The Fund generated positive returns over the reporting period as elevated oil prices and a renewed focus on energy security drove energy equities higher. During the reporting period, the Chinese government approved the construction of new coal power plants, prioritizing energy security over cutting fossil fuel consumption. The approval of new coal power plants was driven in part by the impact of extreme weather and droughts on hydropower plants, contributing to a surge in demand for coal. This benefitted Fund holdings exposed to the coal industry during the reporting period. Furthermore, the need for affordable and accessible energy sources created an impetus for greater domestic investment in the energy sector.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 5.05%, while the Underlying Index increased 5.70%.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Aluminum Corp of China Ltd-H and CMOC Group Ltd-H, which returned 89.87% and 89.05%, respectively. The worst performers were Yunnan Energy New Material-A and YOUNGY Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned -54.61% and -52.12%, respectively.

 

The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period as developments in the Chinese economy improved manufacturing activity, boosting investor sentiment in the China materials sector. An increase in China’s demand for materials produced and distributed by constituents within the Fund positively impacted performance after the country’s relaxation of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions during the reporting period. Rising household incomes along with population migration to urban areas fueled development in the residential construction sector and increased demand for materials from producers. Consumption-driven growth led to increased demand for specialty chemicals resulting in additional expenditure towards chemical research and development initiatives.

Global X MSCI Norway ETF

 

The Global X MSCI Norway ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Norway IMI 25/50 Index (the “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 broad based equity market performance in Norway as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”), the provider of the Underlying Index. The broad Norway equity universe includes securities that are classified in Norway according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, which is a methodology that seeks to identify the investable universe of companies globally in order to facilitate the construction of replicable indexes such as the Underlying Index.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 0.87%, while the Underlying Index increased 1.30%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.43 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.34 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Frontline Plc and BW LPG Ltd., which returned 125.69% and 124.64%, respectively. The worst performers were Aker Horizons ASA and Bewi AS, which returned -75.69% and -59.16%, respectively.

 

The Fund recorded modestly positive returns during the reporting period as the Norwegian economy showed resilience to rising interest rates and volatility in global capital markets. The unemployment rate in the country also decreased during the reporting period and increased sentiment towards Norwegian equities. Norwegian policymakers introduced a household income-protection program which provided higher wage subsidies for temporary layoffs, higher unemployment benefits, and expanded health care segment, all of which supported the economy. During the reporting period, the financial sector played an important role, showing positive results aided by a robust economy and high interest rates. In contrast, lower international gas prices during the reporting period negatively impacted holdings within the energy sector that have a high dependence on revenues from this business segment. In addition, corporate results of some renewable energy sector companies suffered and detracted from the Fund’s performance. During the reporting period, the highest average sector exposures for the Fund were Energy (32.12%), Financials (19.03%) and Consumer Staples (12.99%).

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 40 largest companies in the five Association of Southeast Asian Nations regions: Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand as defined by FTSE International Limited (“FTSE”), the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”). In order to be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, a company must be a member of the FTSE All World Country Index for Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia or the Philippines.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 3.37%, while the Underlying Index increased 4.10%.

The worst performers were Energy Absolute Public Co. Ltd. and CP Axtra Public Company Limited NVDR, which returned -43.64% and -25.25%, respectively.

 

The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period, driven by an increase in exports and industrial activity, which, in turn, boosted private consumption and investor confidence. Financial conditions in many regions the Fund was exposed to remained relatively accommodative and real policy rates increased in line with market expectations. Rising interest rates boosted financials companies in the Fund by increasing their net interest margins through higher lending rates. Rising interest rates stimulated demand for financial services as investors and savers sought financial advice. Utilities exposures within the Fund detracted a level of performance amidst rising interest costs on company balance sheets as a result of central bank monetary tightening. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 36.56% in Singapore, 23.91% in Indonesia and 22.08% in Thailand.

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 represent the performance of the broad Argentina equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”).

Internet services companies experienced growth due to the underlying growth of the e-commerce industry, as consumers preferred digital platforms to make online purchases. Some internet services companies achieved positive revenues due to their strong presence in other jurisdictions like Brazil and Mexico. Higher oil prices and record shale gas production by refiners drove foreign investors’ confidence in Argentina. By sector, the Fund had the highest exposure to Consumer Discretionary at 29.23%, Consumer Staples at 17.37% and Financials at 14.06% during the reporting period.

Global X MSCI Greece ETF

 

The Global X MSCI Greece ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Greece Select 25/50 Index (the “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 represent the performance of the broad Greece equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”), the provider of the Underlying Index. The broad Greece equity universe includes securities that are classified in Greece according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Greece and carry out the majority of their operations in Greece. The Underlying Index also applies minimum liquidity thresholds as criteria for company inclusion.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 44.57%, while the Underlying Index increased 45.67%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.14 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $33.81 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Piraeus Financial Holdings and Mytilinoes S.A., which returned 139.09% and 128.99%, respectively. The worst performers were Folli Follie Commercial Manufacturing and Technical S.A. Unsponsored ADR and Galaxy Cosmos Mezz Plc, which returned -98.36% and -33.00%, respectively.

 

The Fund performed positively during the reporting period as government support measures, economic reforms, fiscal consolidation, and an enhanced global presence improved investor sentiment in Greek domiciled equities. Furthermore, individuals from other countries interested in acquiring residency in Greece through the golden visa program contributed to the increase of foreign investments in the country’s real estate sector. Investments in this segment saw a significant increase, resulting in higher valuations of respective companies in the Fund’s portfolio. Lastly, the re-election of the incumbent Prime Minister reduced the risk of potential political instability in the country and improved investor confidence and stock valuations. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate sector stock exposure of 31.81% to Financials, 15.88% to Consumer Discretionary and 14.81% to Industrials.

** Reflects performance of the FTSE/ATHEX Custom Capped Index through February 29, 2016 and MSCI All Greece Select 25/50 Index, thereafter. The inception of the MSCI All Greece Select 25/50 Index (“New Index”) was on December 23, 2015. Effective on or around March 1, 2016, the Fund began to track the New Index. The change was due to the planned migration to the New Index, potentially allowing for broader exposure to the local market.

Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF

 

 

Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF

 

The Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Nigeria Select 25/50 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 represent the performance of the broad Nigeria equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”). The broad Nigeria equity universe includes securities that are classified in Nigeria according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Nigeria and carry out the majority of their operations in Nigeria. The Index Provider determines the relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 21.01% and the Underlying Index decreased 4.38%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.91 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $8.98 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Transnational Corporation of Nigeria and Access Holdings Plc, which returned 105.5% and 53.04%, respectively. The worst performers were the Nigerian Naira and Flour Mills Nigeria PLC, which returned -51.31% and -47.36%, respectively.

 

The Fund recorded negative returns during the reporting period as Nigerian economic growth was adversely impacted by a fall in oil production amid a series of reforms by the new Nigerian government. Government initiatives, including the revocation of petrol subsidies and the lifting of express foreign exchange trading restrictions to account for the relative remaining difficulties involved with repatriation, contributed to an increased rate of inflation in Nigeria. Additionally, the destruction of farms as a result of significant flooding in Nigeria fueled rising costs and decreased investor sentiment towards the Fund’s portfolio over the course of the reporting period. Elevated diesel prices contributed to the increased costs of electricity generation and industrial production. Furthermore, a weaker Nigerian currency made imports more expensive.

 

On June 22, 2023, the Board of Trustees of Global X Funds voted to approve the liquidation of the Fund, which included the expectation that Fund shares will cease trading at the end of the trading day on March 25, 2024. Since the approval of the Fund’s liquidation, the Fund has departed from its investment objective and has deviated from tracking the Underlying Index as result of its planned liquidation. In order to facilitate the liquidation, the Fund has increased its cash holdings in Nigerian naira in order to facilitate the conversion of naira into U.S. dollars, and has held cross-listed securities that can be sold outside of Nigeria for non-U.S. currencies that are more easily converted into U.S. dollars than naira, which are not consistent with the Fund’s current investment objective and principal investment strategies. The liquidation process has detracted from the Fund’s performance.

Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF

 

 

Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF

 

The Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Select Emerging and Frontier Markets Access Index (the “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 equity performance of select emerging markets and frontier markets companies while maintaining diversification across individual countries, sectors and issuers. The Underlying Index is constructed from the MSCI EFM ex BRICKT (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Korea & Taiwan) Index (the “Parent Index”). Securities from the Parent Index are classified into emerging markets countries and frontier markets countries based on the market classification approach of MSCI Inc., the Index Provider.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 2.22%, while the Underlying Index decreased 1.68%. The Fund had a net asset value of $18.07 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.21 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Bank Muscat and Elm Company, which returned 172.08% and 114.55%, respectively. The worst performers were No Va Land Investment Group Corp. and PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk, which returned -81.36% and -61.48%, respectively.

 

The Fund performed negatively during the reporting period as emerging and frontier market economies were affected by global economic conditions such as tightening monetary policies and persistent inflationary pressures. Decelerating growth in trade on account of weaker global demand reduced exports from the emerging markets during the reporting period. Additionally, growth was hampered by interest rate hikes in the U.S. and narrowing interest rate differentials, which led to weak capital flows in emerging and frontier markets during the reporting period. Energy was the top performing sector as oil prices remained elevated during the reporting period, driven by instability in the Middle East and voluntary production cuts from Russia and Saudi Arabia. Kazakhstan-domiciled equities were positively impacted, benefitting from rising uranium prices.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets.

The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Portugal equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”), the provider of the Underlying Index. The Broad Portugal Equity Universe includes securities that are classified in Portugal according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Portugal and carry out the majority of their operations in Portugal.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 8.61%, while the Underlying Index increased 8.89%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.35 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.74 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Mota-Engil SGPS SA and Banco Comercial Portugues S.A., which returned 184.42% and 114.48%, respectively. The worst performers were Fusion Fuel Green Plc Class-A and PHarol SGPS SA, which returned -81.68% and -27.92%, respectively.

 

The Fund recorded positive returns over the reporting period as increased inflows from Europe, government measures to support income, and the Fund’s defensive sector tilt weighed positively. In order to tackle soaring inflation and help low-income families, the Portuguese government removed its value added tax on essential food products and raised subsidies on electricity, gas, and fuel prices. Furthermore, international visitor spending acted as a tailwind to the Fund’s consumer staples and consumer discretionary sector holdings. The Fund’s larger allocations towards defensive sectors worked favorably amid a backdrop of food inflation and continued geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the war in Ukraine. During the reporting period, the Fund had the highest exposure to Utilities at 43.73%, Consumer Staples at 16.12% and Materials at 14.68%.

The Global X DAX Germany ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the DAX® Index (the “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 segment of the largest and most actively traded companies – known as blue chips – on the German equities market. It contains the shares of the 40 largest and most liquid companies admitted to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the Prime Standard segment. The Underlying Index represents about 80% of the free-float market capitalization authorized in Germany.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 18.65%, while the Underlying Index increased 18.43%. The Fund had a net asset value of $22.74 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $26.28 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Adidas AG and Heidelberg Materials AG, which returned 81.42% and 63.02%, respectively. The worst performers were Sartorius AG-Vorzug and Siemens Energy AG, which returned -29.01% and -24.24%, respectively.

 

The Fund recorded positive performance during the reporting period as easing global supply chain issues and pending order backlogs improved exports from Germany. Additional gross fixed capital investment by companies, coupled with rising entrepreneurial income, supported economic growth in Germany. Growth in private consumption, a stable labor market and deceleration of price inflation contributed to Germany’s economic recovery during the reporting period. Germany experienced a slowdown in industrial production, however, the gradual substitution of energy imports from Russia offset this impact and boosted investors’ confidence in the German economy. Lastly, positive contributions from foreign trade, driven by decreased energy imports, imparted growth to companies in the portfolio. During the reporting period, by sector the Fund had the highest average exposure to Industrials at 22.65%, Financials at 17.08% and Consumer Discretionary at 14.26%.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 2.51%, while the Underlying Index decreased 0.02%. The Fund had a net asset value of $16.45 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.86 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Pakistan Refinery Ltd and United Bank Ltd, which returned 65.59% and 55.67%, respectively. The worst performers were Searle Company Ltd. and TRG Pakistan, which returned -55.90% and -50.35%, respectively.

 

The Fund recorded modestly negative returns during the reporting period as supply chain disruptions in Pakistan due to import restrictions and floods adversely impacted holdings within the Fund. Additionally, high borrowing costs and rising political uncertainty in Pakistan affected many industries. A weakened labor market and simultaneous rise in domestic prices dampened investors’ confidence in Pakistan. Decelerating industrial growth amid restrictive monetary policies led to fund outflows from the Pakistan economy. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s economic growth rate improved on account of increased foreign reserves and support from international organizations, mitigating a level of negative performance experienced by the Fund during the reporting period. In addition to this, bank holdings within the Fund experienced an increase in net interest margins, positively impacting performance. During the reporting period, the Fund had the highest sector exposure to Materials at 32.63%, Energy at 22.8% and Financials at 16.6%.

The Global X MSCI China Consumer Staples ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Consumer Staples 10/50 Index (the “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 companies in the MSCI China Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the Consumer Staples sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Additionally, the Underlying Index utilizes a 10/50 concentration constraint whereby the weight of each group entity in the Underlying Index is capped at 10% and the cumulative weight of all group entities with a weight in excess of 5% does not exceed 50% of the Underlying Index by weight.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 5.49%, while the Underlying Index increased 6.19%. The Fund had a net asset value of $17.24 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.97 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from RLX Technology, Inc. Sponsored ADR Class A and Anhui Gujing Distillery Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned 84.00% and 63.10%, respectively. The worst performers were Yunnan Botanee Bio-Technology Group Co., Ltd. Class A and Shede Spirits Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned -37.11% and -28.54%, respectively.

 

The Fund had positive returns over the reporting period as the easing of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions paired with economic stimulus provided by the Chinese government increased economic activity. At the beginning of the reporting period, Chinese consumers stocked food and other essential goods to prepare for the post-reopening surge in COVID-19 cases, providing a short-term boost to Consumer Staples sector stocks. Certain consumption habits formed during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the stockpiling of food and essentials, lingered after reopening and supported consumer staples demand through the rest of the reporting period. Alcohol and beverage companies were strong beneficiaries of the reopening, as Chinese consumers held gatherings with friends and family not seen in years. Meanwhile, the announcement of measures from the Chinese Government to boost consumption in the middle of the reporting period helped improve investor sentiment towards consumer staples holdings within the Fund.

The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of 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.

Global X MSCI China Health Care ETF

 

 

Global X MSCI China Health Care ETF

 

The Global X MSCI China Health Care ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Health Care 10/50 Index (the “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 companies in the MSCI China Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the Health Care sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Additionally, the Underlying Index utilizes a 10/50 concentration constraint whereby the weight of each group entity in the Underlying Index is capped at 10% and the cumulative weight of all group entities with a weight in excess of 5% does not exceed 50% of the Underlying Index by weight.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 8.60%, while the Underlying Index increased 9.40%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.46 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.53 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Innovent Biologics Inc. and Jinxin Fertility Group Ltd., which returned 66.18% and 57.22%, respectively. The worst performers were Beijing Wantai Biological Pharmacy Enterprise Co. Ltd. Class A and Joinn Laboratories (China) Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned -50.67% and -40.55%, respectively.

 

The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period as a post-reopening surge in COVID-19 cases and resulting demand for health care services helped offset negative effects from an anti-corruption campaign targeted within the Health Care Sector. Protests in major cities in China spurred the Chinese Government to quickly reduce COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. Investors saw Health Care Sector stocks as a beneficiary of this sudden change in policy. Despite the end of mandatory mass-testing, the Chinese government continued to push forward the development of vaccines and other forms of treatment during the reporting period. Progress towards approval for domestic-made COVID-19 vaccines boosted the performance of Chinese Health Care sector stocks.

The Global X MSCI China Information Technology ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Information Technology 10/50 Index (the “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 companies in the MSCI China Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the Information Technology sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified in as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 2.32%, while the Underlying Index decreased 1.57%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.81 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.37 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Zhongji Innolight Co. Ltd-A and Shenzhen Transsion Holding Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned 199.45% and 122.91%, respectively. The worst performers were Cambricon Technologies and Ninestar Corp. Class A, which returned -59.05% and -56.96%, respectively.

 

The Fund had negative returns during the reporting period as China’s Information Technology Sector faced challenges amid weaker global demand and continued strain from U.S. export restrictions. At a global level, sales for smartphones, laptops and other consumer electronics remained anemic throughout the reporting period and had an adverse impact on the main revenue streams of hardware-oriented holdings within the Fund. Geopolitical concerns weighed negatively on the Fund as major countries like the U.S. and Japan bolstered technology export restrictions to China. In particular, these efforts targeted semiconductors required to train cutting-edge artificial intelligence models. However, the People’s Bank of China reduced key interest rate levels to spur economic growth, positively impacting holdings within the Fund.

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 companies in the MSCI China Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the utilities sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 10.92% and the Underlying Index increased 11.68%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.84 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $12.58 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Kunlun Energy Co. Ltd. and Beijing Enterprises Holdings Limited, which returned 46.00% and 40.97%, respectively. The worst performers were China Longyuan Power Group Corporation Ltd Class H and ENN Energy Holdings Limited, which returned -24.71% and -20.73%, respectively.

 

The Fund generated positive returns over the reporting period as the reopening of the Chinese economy boosted demand for utilities. Higher industrial activity increased the country’s natural gas demand, which served as a tailwind for natural gas companies the Fund invests in. After notable outages during the previous reporting period, the Chinese government prioritized short-term energy security over long-term sustainability goals in the current reporting period and moved to lift restrictions on foreign coal. The Fund’s low exposure to coal during the reporting period insulated it from the adverse impacts of increased competition from foreign coal. During the reporting period, the Chinese government rolled out new measures to streamline the power grid and invest more into energy storage, supporting investor sentiment towards constituents within the Fund.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index

 

The Underlying Index tracks the performance of companies in the MSCI China Index (the “Parent Index”) that are classified in the Real Estate sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”) the provider of the Underlying Index. The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of securities that are classified as operating in China according to the MSCI Global Investable Markets Index Methodology, and that satisfy minimum market capitalization and liquidity thresholds. Additionally, the Underlying Index utilizes a 10/50 concentration constraint whereby the weight of each group entity in the Underlying Index is capped at 10% and the cumulative weight of all group entities with a weight in excess of 5% does not exceed 50% of the Underlying Index by weight.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 4.55%, while the Underlying Index increased 5.47%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.55 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.43 per share on October 31, 2023, following a 1:3 reverse share split on December 19, 2022.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Seazen Group Ltd. and CIFI Holdings (Group) Co. Ltd., which returned 179.36% and 128.21%, respectively. The worst performers were Shanghai Lujiazui Finance & Trade Zone Development Co., Ltd. Class B and Gemdale Corporation Class A, which returned -43.14% and -32.94%, respectively.

 

The Fund performed positively during the reporting period as relaxed restrictions on the classification of first home buyers and a reduction in first home mortgage rates positively impacted the China Real Estate sector. The removal of administrative curbs on home buying by major Chinese cities and eased borrowing rules for real estate developers improved project completion rates during the reporting period. The announcement by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission of the plan to optimize equity financing and permission for restructuring reduced the chances of default for infrastructural companies. This led to an improvement of the credibility of holdings within the Fund and confidence in the Real Estate sector. China’s pace of economic development slowed during the reporting period, but the positive growth rate and relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions during the beginning of the reporting period served as a positive catalyst for economic growth in the country.

Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF

 

The Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Vietnam IMI Select 25/50 Index (the “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 represent the performance of the broad Vietnam equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”), the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”). The broad Vietnam equity universe includes securities that are classified in Vietnam according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Vietnam and carry out the majority of their operations in Vietnam, as determined solely by the Index Provider.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 1.71%, while the Underlying Index decreased 0.97%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.67 per share on October 31, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.28 per share on October 31, 2023.

 

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Saigon - Hanoi Securities JSC and Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank, which returned 69.46% and 69.11%, respectively. The worst performers were Hai Phat Investment JSC and No Va Land Investment Group Corp., which returned -82.95% and -81.36%, respectively.

 

The Fund performed modestly negative during the reporting period as Vietnam encountered setbacks in its recovery from a real estate crisis and faced downward pressure on manufacturing activity from China’s economic slowdown. Excessive debt among real estate developers triggered a crisis that began before the reporting period but continued throughout the current reporting period. Interest rate cuts by Vietnam’s central bank and government efforts to provide support to the real estate sector offered some measure of relief against these headwinds. Vietnam was also impacted by falling demand from China, which translated into sluggish exports and manufacturing activity, resulting in negative effects on the Fund’s allocations towards materials and industrials. At the same time, the perception of Vietnam as a beneficiary of supply chain movements out of China partially mitigated those negative effects. During the reporting period, the Fund had an approximate average sector exposure of 27.55% to Real Estate, 21.3% to Financials, and 19.37% to Consumer Staples.

(1) On October 29, 2021, the Global X MSCI Norway ETF (the “Acquired Fund”) was reorganized into the Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (the “Acquiring Fund”), each a separate series of the Trust (together, the “Combined Fund”) and the Combined Fund was renamed the Global X MSCI Norway ETF. As a result of the Reorganization as of the close of business on October 29, 2021, the Combined Fund assumed the performance and accounting history of the Acquired Fund. Accordingly, performance figures for the Combined Fund for periods prior to the date of the Reorganization represent the performance of the Acquired Fund (See Note 1 in Notes to Financial Statements).
(2) Per share data for the Acquired Fund has been restated for periods prior to the reorganization to reflect the conversion ratio of 0.4766 in effect on the reorganization date of October 29, 2021 (See Note 1 in Notes to Financial Statements).

1. ORGANIZATION

 

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, 2023, the Trust had one hundred and thirteen portfolios, one hundred and eight of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI China Industrials ETF, Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF, Global X MSCI China Communication Services ETF, Global X MSCI China Financials ETF, Global X MSCI China Energy ETF, Global X MSCI China Materials ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF, Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, Global X MSCI Greece ETF, Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF, Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF, Global X MSCI Portugal ETF, Global X DAX Germany ETF, Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF, Global X MSCI China Consumer Staples ETF, Global X MSCI China Health Care ETF, Global X MSCI China Information Technology ETF, Global X MSCI China Utilities ETF, Global X MSCI China Real Estate ETF and Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund (except for the Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF) has elected non-diversified status under the 1940 Act.

 

On August 4, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) providing for the tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Global X MSCI Norway ETF (the “Acquired Fund”) with and into the Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (the “Acquiring Fund”), each a separate series of the Trust (together, the “Combined Fund”). The Agreement provided for: (1) the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for (A) the issuance of the shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund (collectively, the “Acquiring Fund Shares” and each, an “Acquiring Fund Share”) to the Acquired Fund, and (B) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund on the closing date of the Reorganization (the “Closing Date”), and (2) the distribution by the Acquired Fund, on or promptly after the Closing Date as provided in the Agreement, of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Effective as of the close of business on October 29, 2021, the Acquired Fund was reorganized into the Combined Fund, and the Combined Fund was renamed the Global X MSCI Norway ETF. The Acquiring Fund is the legal surviving entity in the Reorganization, while the Acquired Fund is the accounting survivor or continuing portfolio for purposes of financial and performance history of the Combined Fund. See Note 10 in the Notes to Financial Statements.

 

On December 24, 2018, the shareholders of the Horizons DAX Germany ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) approved a proposed agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Reorganization”) that provided for (a) the transfer of all the assets to the Global X DAX Germany ETF (the “Germany Fund”) and the assumption of certain of the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund; (b) the issuance of shares of the Germany Fund to the shareholders

of the Predecessor Fund; and (c) the liquidation and termination of the Predecessor Fund. The effective date of the Reorganization was December 24, 2018. The Germany Fund had no operations prior to the Reorganization. The Predecessor Fund had substantially similar investment objectives, investment strategies, policies and restrictions as those of the Germany Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights include the financial information of the Predecessor Fund through December 21, 2018.

 

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 the NASDAQ Stock Market (“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 Standard 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. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates as of the reporting date. The exchange rates used by the Trust for valuation are captured as of the New York or London close each day.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

October 31, 2023

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and approved by the Board. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a fair value committee (the “Committee”) of the Adviser. 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 is traded outside the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that each Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). 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 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 their NAVs, 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.

 

If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, 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. 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.

 

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 upon the

 

185

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

October 31, 2023

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

sale of 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 NAV 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 NAV 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 details of the investment classification, reference the Schedule of Investments.

 

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, 2023. 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.

 

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”), 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.

 

186

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

October 31, 2023

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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. 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 the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.

 

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 except as described below.

 

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; however, 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 reporting period ended October 31, 2023, 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 an income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the reporting period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

The Funds file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment

 

187

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

history and market convention. The Statements of Operations includes tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.

 

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. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts is included in interest income.

 

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 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.

 

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 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.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - To the extent consistent with its investment policies, each Fund may invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts. No Fund, however, expects to engage in currency transactions for speculative purposes or for the purpose of hedging against declines in the value of a

 

188

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Fund’s assets that are denominated in a foreign currency. A Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts to facilitate local settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with its distributions to shareholders. Foreign currency exchange contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell a specified currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the values of portfolio securities but rather allow a Fund to establish a rate of exchange for a future point in time. Foreign currency futures contracts involve an obligation to deliver or acquire the specified amount of a specific currency, at a specified price and at a specified future time. Such futures contracts may be settled on a net cash payment basis rather than by the sale and delivery of the underlying currency. A Fund may incur costs in connection with forward foreign currency exchange and futures contracts and conversions of foreign currencies and U.S. dollars. The net realized gain or loss on forward foreign currency contracts is reflected in the Statements of Operations and the net unrealized gains (losses) are included as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Operations. As of October 31, 2023, there were no foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts held by the Funds.

 

FUTURES CONTRACTS – To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, each Fund may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund’s returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract.

 

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, a futures contract involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.

 

Futures contracts shall be valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of the exchange on which they are traded. The daily settlement prices for financial futures are provided by an independent source.

 

189

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Refer to the Funds’ Schedule of Investments for details regarding open futures contracts as of October 31, 2023, if applicable.

 

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.

 

CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge equal to the applicable BBH Base Rate plus 2.00%. Per the terms of an agreement with BNY Mellon, if a Fund for which BNY Mellon is Custodian has a cash overdraft, it will be charged interest at a rate then charged by BNY Mellon to its institutional custody clients in the relevant currency. Cash overdraft charges are included in custodian fees on the Statements of Operations.

 

CREATION UNITS —The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at net asset value (“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 the Funds’ custodian 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:

6. 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 following differences, primarily attributable to redemptions in-kind, sales of passive foreign investment companies, net operating loss, foreign currency gain (loss), and return of capital distributions, have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023:

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

 

The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in several 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, the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.

 

The securities markets of emerging market countries are less liquid, 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 issuers and securities markets in the United States. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of emerging market 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 market 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, gains earned or gains 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 an underlying index in approximately the same proportions as the underlying index. A representative sampling strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities (including indirect investments through underlying ETFs) that collectively has an investment profile similar to an underlying index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. 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 a Fund but not its underlying index).

 

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.

 

204

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

 

Certain Funds may have investments in financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. LIBOR was intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. The publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates ceased to be published after June 2023. There remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on the Funds and the instruments in which the Funds invest. There can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) or financial instruments in which the Funds invest that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. The regulations provide a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, by identifying benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. These regulations apply only to contracts governed by U.S. law, among other limitations. The Funds may have instruments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held by the Funds could result in losses to the Funds.

 

Economic conditions, such as volatile currency exchange rates and interest rates, political events, military action and other conditions may, without prior warning, lead to foreign government intervention (including intervention by the U.S. government with respect to foreign governments, economic sectors, foreign companies and related securities and interests) and the imposition of capital controls (i.e., government measures designed to limit the flow of foreign capital in and out of the domestic economy) and/or sanctions, which may also include retaliatory actions of one government against another government, such as the seizure of assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions include the prohibition of, or restrictions on, the ability to transfer currency, securities or other assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions may also impact the ability of a Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Shares of a Fund, and cause a Fund to decline in value.

 

In particular, monetary policies enacted by government agencies in Nigeria prior to June 14, 2023 severely limited Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF (NGE) and certain other Funds’ ability

 

205

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

 

to convert local denominated assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars using quoted immediate currency settlement rates. As a result, NGE and certain other Funds experienced significant delays - or for certain periods of time were completely unable – to repatriate U.S. dollars at quoted spot rates, On June 14, 2023, the government of Nigeria loosened its monetary policy, allowing naira transactions to occur outside of the previously announced U.S. dollar peg. However, quoted rates for immediate currency settlement remain significantly disconnected from market clearing rates. NGE’s ability to convert naira into U.S. dollars continues to be significantly limited and transactions, when they have occurred, have been at material discounts to the quoted rates.

 

NGE’s holdings are largely comprised of naira or securities denominated in naira. Naira and assets denominated in naira are required to be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes using quoted rates for immediate settlement which, in the Fund’s experience, are materially different from the market clearing rate. As a result, the values of NGE’s assets and liabilities denominated in naira which will be ultimately realized could be materially different from those reported on the statement of assets and liabilities.

 

Special Risk Considerations of Investing in China – Variable Interest Entity Investments. For purposes of raising capital offshore on exchanges outside of China, including on U.S. exchanges, many Chinese-based operating companies are structured as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). In this structure, the Chinese-based operating company is the VIE and establishes a shell company in a foreign jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. The shell company lists on a foreign exchange and enters into contractual arrangements with the VIE. This structure allows Chinese companies in which the Chinese government restricts foreign ownership to raise capital from foreign investors. While the shell company has no equity ownership of the VIE, these contractual arrangements permit the shell company to consolidate the VIE’s financial statements with its own for accounting purposes and provide for economic exposure to the performance of the underlying Chinese operating company. Therefore, an investor in the listed shell company, such as certain of the Funds, will have exposure to the Chinese-based operating company only through contractual arrangements and has no ownership in the Chinese-based operating company. Furthermore, because the shell company only has specific rights provided for in these service agreements with the VIE, its abilities to control the activities at the Chinese-based operating company are limited and the operating company may engage in activities that negatively impact investment value. While the VIE structure has been widely adopted, it is not formally recognized under Chinese law and therefore there is a risk that the Chinese government could prohibit the existence of such structures or negatively impact the VIE’s contractual arrangements with the listed shell company by declaring them invalid. If these contracts were found to be unenforceable under Chinese law, investors in the listed shell company, such as a Fund, may suffer significant losses with little or no recourse available. If the Chinese government determines that the agreements establishing the VIE structures do not comply with Chinese law and regulations, including those related to restrictions on foreign

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

 

ownership, it could subject a Chinese-based issuer to penalties, revocation of business and operating licenses, or forfeiture of ownership interest. In addition, the listed shell company’s control over a VIE may also be jeopardized if a natural person who holds the equity interest in the VIE breaches the terms of the agreement, is subject to legal proceedings or if any physical instruments for authenticating documentation, such as chops and seals, are used without the Chinese-based issuer’s authorization to enter into contractual arrangements in China. Chops and seals, which are carved stamps used to sign documents, represent a legally binding commitment by the company. Moreover, any future regulatory action may prohibit the ability of the shell company to receive the economic benefits of the Chinese-based operating company, which may cause the value of a Fund’s investment in the listed shell company to suffer a significant loss. For example, in 2021, the Chinese government prohibited use of the VIE structure for investment in after-school tutoring companies. There is no guarantee that the government will not place similar restrictions on other industries.

 

These actions, any future sanctions or other actions, or even the threat of further sanctions or other actions, may negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Funds’ investments. For example, a Fund may be prohibited from investing in securities issued by companies subject to such sanctions. In addition, sanctions may require a Fund to freeze its existing investments, prohibiting such Fund from buying, selling or otherwise transacting in these investments.

 

Also, if an affected security is included in a Fund’s underlying index, such Fund may, where practicable, seek to eliminate its holdings of the affected security by employing or augmenting its representative sampling strategy to seek to track the investment results of the underlying index. The use of (or increased use of) a representative sampling strategy may increase such Fund’s tracking error risk. Actions barring some or all transactions with a specific company will likely have a substantial, negative impact on the value of such company’s securities. These sanctions may also lead to changes in a Fund’s underlying index. A Fund’s index provider may remove securities from the underlying index or implement caps on the securities of certain issuers that have been subject to recent economic sanctions. In such an event, it is expected that a Fund will rebalance its portfolio to bring it in line with its respective underlying index as a result of any such changes, which may result in transaction costs and increased tracking error.

 

Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”) for a more complete description of risks.

 

8. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

 

Each Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of its total assets. Security loans made pursuant to securities lending agreements with BBH and BNY Mellon 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%

 

207

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

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 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.

 

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements held in Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF, Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, Global X MSCI Portugal ETF and Global X MSCI China Information Technology ETF are held by BNY Mellon and are designated as being held on the Fund’s behalf under a book-entry system. The Funds monitor 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 the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Fund is prevented from exercising its 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 (including in repurchase agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability- on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in repurchase agreements and short-term investments by the lending agent. The Funds do not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under the Securities Lending Agreement, which permits a Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.

 

The following is a summary of securities lending agreements held by the Funds, with cash collateral of overnight maturities and non-cash collateral, which would be subject to offset as of October 31, 2023.

11. MERGER

 

Effective October 29, 2021, the Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (the “Acquiring Fund”) acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Global X MSCI Norway ETF (the “Acquired Fund”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by

 

211

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements  (Continued)

October 31, 2023

 

 

11. MERGER (continued)

 

the Board of Directors on August 4, 2021. Effective as of the close of business on October 29, 2021, the Acquired Fund was reorganized into the Acquiring Fund, each a separate series of the Trust (together, the “Combined Fund”) and the Combined Fund was renamed Global X MSCI Norway ETF. The Acquiring Fund is the legal surviving entity in the Reorganization, while the Acquired Fund is the accounting survivor or continuing portfolio for purposes of financial and performance history of the Combined Fund.

 

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange as follows:

 

3,980,000 shares of the Acquired Fund, with net assets of $60,723,560 and including $673,023 of net unrealized depreciation for 1,896,973 shares of the Acquiring Fund with net assets of $43,214,538. For every 1 share of the Acquired Fund, shareholders received 0.4766 shares of the Acquiring Fund. Immediately following the acquisition, the Combined Fund held 3,246,971 shares with net assets of $103,938,098.

 

Assuming that the reorganization had been completed on November 1, 2020, the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021 would have been as follows:

 

Net investment income   $ 2,153,445  
Net Realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments     26,735,503  
Net increase (decrease) in net assets from operations   $ 28,888,948  

 

12. PLAN OF LIQUIDATION

 

On June 22, 2023, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the liquidation of the Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF (the “Nigeria Fund”). The Board also considered the Adviser’s recommendation that it was in the best interests of the Nigeria Fund and its shareholders for the Nigeria Fund to liquidate its holdings and to convert all naira held by the Nigeria Fund to U.S. dollars in anticipation of the Nigeria Fund’s liquidation. After considering information presented by the Adviser on the proposed liquidation of the Nigeria Fund, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Nigeria Fund and its shareholders to liquidate and terminate the Nigeria Fund.

 

In order to facilitate the liquidation, the Nigeria Fund has liquidated the majority of its equity holdings and increased its cash holdings in Nigerian naira in order to facilitate the conversion of naira into U.S. dollars and has held cross-listed securities that can be sold outside of Nigeria for non-U.S. currencies that are more easily converted into U.S. dollars than naira. These strategies, which are intended to facilitate the Nigeria Fund’s liquidation, deviate from the Nigeria Fund’s current investment objective and principal investment strategies. As a consequence, since the approval of the Nigeria Fund’s liquidation by the Board, the Nigeria Fund has departed from its investment objective and has deviated from tracking its underlying index in preparation for its planned liquidation.

12. PLAN OF LIQUIDATION (continued)

 

The Nigeria Fund’s planned liquidation date of March 29, 2024 reflects ongoing uncertainty with respect to the timing of currency repatriation and the exchange rate at which naira is able to be converted to U.S. dollars. The Nigeria Fund intends to continue to convert its naira holdings into U.S. dollars although the exchange rate ultimately realized by the Nigeria Fund upon conversion may be materially different from that used to translate the statement of assets and liabilities, which in turn may materially impact the proceeds ultimately returned to shareholders in liquidation. To the extent the Nigeria Fund is able to successfully convert all of its naira holdings into U.S. dollars prior to the planned liquidation date, the Nigeria Fund may accelerate its liquidation date. Conversely, delays in conversion may extend the timeline for liquidation. Shareholders will be promptly informed of any such change.

 

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Funds have been evaluated by management regarding the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional adjustments were required to the financial statements.

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, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians 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 returns. 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, 2023 through October 31, 2023.

 

The table on the next page illustrates the Funds’ 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 a Fund, 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 Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare a Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Funds 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 SEC 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 Funds’ investment 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 19, 2023, 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, 2022 through December 31, 2022. 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 noted that one Fund, the Global X Nigeria Fund, was classified as an In-Kind Fund for purposes of Liquidity Reporting. The Committee’s report noted that no other material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

 

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 the Funds issue and redeem 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 Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. A Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or its NAV. The NAV of a 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.
