Management Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) 
Global X Alternative Income ETF

Global X Alternative Income ETF

The Global X Alternative Income ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx SuperDividend® Alternatives 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 intended to provide exposure to five income-producing categories: Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) and Infrastructure, Real Estate, Preferreds, Emerging Market Bonds and Covered Calls. The MLPs and Infrastructure categories primarily consist of units of MLPs and shares of infrastructure companies. The Real Estate category provides exposure to global real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), and gains this exposure through investing directly in the Global X SuperDividend® REIT ETF. The Preferreds category provides exposure to U.S. preferred securities, and gains this exposure through investing directly in the Global X U.S. Preferred ETF. The Emerging Markets Bonds category provides exposure to emerging markets debt, and gains this exposure through investing directly in the Global X Emerging Markets Bond ETF. The Covered Call category provides exposure to a covered call strategy, and gains this exposure through investing directly in the Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF.

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 6.64%, while the Underlying Index decreased 6.47%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.16 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.42 per share on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from BP Midstream Partners LP and Allete, Inc., which returned 35.57% and 33.65%, respectively. The worst performers were the Global X NASDAQ 100 Covered Call ETF and the Global X U.S. Preferred ETF, which returned -15.87% and -14.08%, respectively.

Despite rising inflation being a tailwind for commodities and real assets, rising interest rates and recessionary fears gripped market sentiments during the reporting period. This made markets more volatile, causing traditional equities to underperform, resulting in the Fund’s negative performance. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained an average approximate sector exposure of 21% to Financials, 14% to Utilities, 13% to Real Estate, and 10% to Information Technology.

The S&P 500® Index is a market capitalization weighted composite index of 500 large capitalization U.S. companies.

The Indxx SuperDividend® Alternatives Index is designed to track the performance of different Alternative asset classes, with an objective of providing a diversified portfolio of assets with a low volatility and high dividend yield.

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when sold, 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.

Global X S&P 500® Quality Dividend ETF
 

Global X S&P 500® Quality Dividend ETF

The Global X S&P 500® Quality Dividend ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P 500® Quality High Dividend Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index measures the performance of S&P 500® stocks that exhibit both high quality and high dividend yield characteristics. Index constituents are equally-weighted, subject to a 25% Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) Sector weight cap.

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 10.25%, while the Underlying Index increased 10.53%. The Fund had a net asset value of $31.02 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $33.24 per share on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Marathon Petroleum Corporation and Exxon Mobil Corporation, which returned 100.09% and 92.78%, respectively. The worst performers were T. Rowe Price Group and Synchrony Financial, which returned -45.28% and -32.54%, respectively.

During the reporting period, with ongoing global economic uncertainty, geopolitical disputes, high inflation, and rising rates, a strategy focusing on dividend sustainability and financial quality resulted in exposures that contributed to positive Fund returns. A result of its quality dividend screening process, the Fund maintained meaningful exposure to companies within the energy sector, a primary beneficiary of rising energy prices over the course of the reporting period which contributed positively to the Fund. The Fund also maintained significant exposure to dividend paying stocks within the consumer staples sector, a defensive sector, whose low volatile nature and preferential business models during periods of weakening equity markets, resulted in positive investor sentiment towards the Fund. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained an approximate average sector exposure of 24% to Financials, 15% to Industrials, 13% to Consumer Staples, and 11% to Energy.

Global X U.S. Preferred ETF

The Global X U.S. Preferred ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE BofA Diversified Core U.S. Preferred Securities Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to track the broad-based performance of the U.S. preferred securities market. The Underlying Index includes different categories of preferred stock, such as floating, variable and fixed-rate preferreds, cumulative and non-cumulative preferreds, and trust preferreds. Qualifying preferred securities must be listed on a U.S. exchange, denominated in U.S. dollars, and have a minimum amount outstanding of $50 million. Qualifying securities must meet minimum price, liquidity, maturity and other requirements as determined by ICE Data Indices, LLC, the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 13.82%, while the Underlying Index decreased 13.78%.

The Fund generated negative returns during the reporting period as the preferred-stock market experienced selloffs amidst a rising interest rate environment. Concerns among investors of a potential recession and tighter financing conditions also negatively affected the Fund's performance.Expectations of further interest rate hikes and an extended higher interest rate environment led to a decline in preferred stock performance during the reporting period. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained an average approximate sector allocation of 63% to Financials, 11% to Utilities, and 6% to Communication Services.

Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF

The Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE U.S. Variable Rate Preferred Securities Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to track the broad-based performance of the U.S.-listed variable rate preferred securities market. Qualifying preferred securities must be listed on a U.S. exchange, denominated in U.S. dollars, have floating or variable dividends or coupons, and have a minimum amount outstanding of $50 million. Qualifying preferred securities may, however, be issued by non-U.S. companies. Qualifying securities must be issued in $25, $50, $100, or $1000 par/liquidation preference increments, must have a traded market value of greater than $6 million in each of the previous three calendar months, and must have at least one year remaining to maturity, as determined by ICE Data Indices, LLC, the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 8.40%, while the Underlying Index decreased 8.30%. The Fund had a net asset value of $27.28 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.55 per share on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. Series D and NuStar Energy LP Series B, which returned 13.55% and 9.32%, respectively. The worst performers were New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. Series F and Invesco Mortgage Capital Inc. Series C, which returned -37.08% and -32.39%, respectively.

Variable-rate preferred stocks are a subset of the preferred asset class, which includes securities that reset their coupon at certain intervals based on the prevailing interest rate. Therefore, these types of preferred stocks tend to have lower sensitivity to movements in interest rates compared to fixed-rate preferred stocks. During the reporting period, market volatility was driven by heightened inflationary fears among investors and rising interest rates, which sharply lowered asset prices across the fixed-income markets, resulting in the Fund's negative performance. Credit spreads widened due to concerns about a potential recession and tighter financing conditions negatively affected investor sentiment, contributing to the Fund's negative performance. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained an average approximate sector allocation of 84% to Financials, 6% to Energy, and 3% to Utilities.

Global X MLP ETF

The Global X MLP ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive MLP Infrastructure 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 intended to give investors a means of tracking the performance of the energy infrastructure MLP asset class in the United States. The Index is composed of MLPs engaged in the transportation, storage, and processing of natural resources ("Midstream MLPs") as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 2022 (the "reporting period"), the Fund increased 37.69%, while the Underlying Index increased 41.54%. The Fund had a net asset value of $33.59 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $42.99 on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from EnLink Midstream LLC and PBF Logistics LP, which returned 106.90% and 88.99%, respectively. The worst performers were NGL Energy Partners LP and USD Partners LP, which returned -48.91% and -20.22%, respectively.

The Fund had a positive performance amid persistently tight oil supply and energy shortages in Europe during the reporting period. Midstream MLPs operate toll-road-like business models, in which they are compensated based on the natural gas or crude oil volume they transport, store, or process. The nature of Midstream MLPs’ role in oil and gas production and the defensive nature of its contracts and fee structures placed Midstream MLPs it in a stronger position than other market categories of the energy sector during the reporting period. Due to their weaker correlation with oil prices, Midstream MLPs maintained their bullish momentum and outperformed global equities and credit. Furthermore, U.S. oil & gas output rose, with increased activity benefiting midstream equities. Rising oil and gas prices over the reporting period also boosted Midstream MLPs.

Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF

The Global X MLP and Energy Infrastructure ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive MLP & Energy Infrastructure Index ("Underlying Index"). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index tracks the performance of midstream energy infrastructure MLPs ("Midstream MLPs") and corporations ("Energy Infrastructure Corporations"). Midstream MLPs and Energy Infrastructure Corporations principally own and operate assets used in energy logistics, including, but not limited to, pipelines, storage facilities and other assets used in transporting, storing, gathering, and processing natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil or refined products. The Underlying Index limits its exposure to partnerships in order to comply with applicable tax diversification rules. Securities must be publicly traded in the United States. The Index is maintained by Solactive AG.

For the 12-month period that ended November 30, 2022 (the "reporting period"), the Fund increased 31.26%, while the Underlying Index increased 32.30%. The Fund had a net asset value of $34.89 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $43.47 on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from EnLink Midstream LLC and Cheniere Energy, Inc, which returned 106.90% and 68.98%, respectively. The worst performers were Delek Logistics Partners LP and Kinetik Holdings Inc, which returned -15.95% and -15.71%, respectively.

The Fund seeks to provide tax efficient exposure to Midstream MLPs, the general partners of midstream MLPs, and energy infrastructure corporations. Midstream MLPs and energy Energy Infrastructure Companies operate toll-road-like business models where they are generally compensated based on the volumes of natural gas or crude oil that they transport, store, or process. The Fund experienced positive performance amid persistently tight oil supply and an energy shortage crisis in Europe during the reporting period. The nature of Midstream MLPs' role in oil and gas production and the defensive nature of its contracts and fee structures placed it in a stronger position than other market categories of the energy sector in the reporting period. Rising rig counts and enhanced confidence in the sector also led to gains across Midstream MLPs and Energy Infrastructure Companies.

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when sold, 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.

Global X Conscious Companies ETF

Global X Conscious Companies ETF

The Global X Conscious Companies ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Concinnity Conscious Companies 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 looks to provide investors an opportunity to invest in well-managed companies that achieve financial performance in a sustainable and responsible manner as measured by their ability to achieve positive outcomes that are consistent with a multi-stakeholder operating system (“MsOS”), as defined by Concinnity Advisors LP, the provider of the Underlying Index. The MsOS is a corporate governance structure that seeks to account for the multiple stakeholders that are critical for the ongoing success of the business, and incorporate the considerations of these stakeholders into the corporate decision-making and problem-solving process. The Index Provider conducts its analysis based on the following five key stakeholder groups: (1) Customers, (2) Employees, (3) Suppliers, (4) Stock and Debt Holders, and (5) Communities in which the companies operate.

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 9.45%, while the Underlying Index decreased 9.44%. The Fund had a net asset value of $32.97 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $29.52 on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Constellation Energy Corporation and ConocoPhillips, which returned 91.35% and 84.12%, respectively. The worst performers were Shopify, Inc and Block, Inc, which returned -77.51% and -67.47%, respectively.

The Fund experienced negative performance during the reporting period, as the information technology sector, which the Fund had the highest weighting, was negatively impacted by rising rates, as the U.S. Federal Reserve tried to tame soaring inflation. Given its relatively low exposure to energy stocks, the Fund could not reap the benefits of rising energy prices resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war. Moreover, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's regulatory actions against funds for overstating environmental, social and governance strategies undermined investor sentiment. The Fund had the highest average approximate sector exposure to the Information Technology (30%), Health Care (14%), and Consumer Discretionary (11%) sectors during the reporting period.

Global X Adaptive U.S. Factor ETF

Global X Adaptive U.S. Factor ETF

The Global X Adaptive U.S. Factor ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Adaptive Wealth Strategies U.S. Factor 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 dynamically allocate across three sub-indices that provide exposure to U.S. equities that exhibit characteristics of one of three primary factors: value, momentum and low volatility. Each factor is represented by a sub-index that is derived from the Solactive U.S. Large & Mid Cap Index, which is designed to measure the 1,000 largest companies, by free float market capitalization, that are exchange-listed in the United States.

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 10.61%, while the Underlying Index increased 10.92%. The Fund had a net asset value of $29.86 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $32.23 on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Marathon Petroleum Corporation and HF Sinclair Corporation, which returned 105.35% and 77.49%, respectively. The worst performers were Loyalty Ventures, Inc and Rogers Corporation, which returned -61.11 % and -59.93%, respectively.

The Fund generated positive returns as its mean reversion strategy proved appropriate for shifting investor sentiments during the reporting period. During the reporting period, factor investing and volatility reduction strategies performed well as equity markets turned highly volatile and continued to fall due to surging inflation, interest rate increases by the U.S. Federal Reserve and recession worries among investors. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500® Index, its benchmark index (“Benchmark Index”) due to its lower exposure to the higher-volatility Information Technology sector compared to the Benchmark Index. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained an average approximate sector allocation of 22% to Health Care, 13% to Financials, and 12% to Information Technology.

Global X Adaptive U.S. Risk Management ETF

The Global X Adaptive U.S. Risk Management ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Adaptive Wealth Strategies U.S. Risk Management 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 dynamically allocate between either 100% exposure to the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index TR (“U.S. Equity Position”) or 100% exposure to the Solactive U.S. 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Index (“U.S. Treasury Position”). The Solactive U.S. 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Index is a rules-based, market value weighted index designed to track the performance of USD-denominated bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury with at least 1 year until maturity but less than 3 years until maturity, as of the selection date of the index. The Solactive GBS United States 500 Index TR is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index which measures the performance of the equity securities of the 500 largest companies from the United States stock market across all sectors. A float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index weights each index component according to its market capitalization, using the number of shares that are readily available for purchase on the open market, rather than the total number of shares outstanding of an issuer. The Underlying Index seeks to provide exposure to the U.S. Equity Position during periods of normal equity market returns, and seeks to provide exposure to the U.S. Treasury Position prior to and during periods of adverse market conditions, as determined by the quantitative model developed by the Index Provider. The Underlying Index seeks to anticipate periods of adverse market conditions using quantitative signals that have been developed based on historical data.

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 4.28%, while the Underlying Index decreased 3.90%. The Fund had a net asset value of $29.88 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $28.26 on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Constellation Energy Corp. and Devon Energy Corporation, which returned 73.64% and 65.06%, respectively. The worst performers were Affirm Holdings, Inc and AppLovin Corp., which returned -76.22% and -68.64%, respectively.

The U.S. equity market was volatile during the reporting period as inflation hit high levels resulting in the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates. U.S. stocks were volatile during the early stages of the reporting period, in which the Fund’s strategy allocated between U.S. equities and U.S. treasuries many times, resulting in negative performance during the reporting period. Towards the end of the reporting period, amidst recessionary fears, the Fund’s strategy allocated into U.S. treasuries during a period of poor performance for U.S. equities, resulting in reporting period outperformance relative to broad U.S. equity indices, such as the S&P 500 Index. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained an average approximate sector exposure of 15% to Information Technology, 8% to Health Care, and 6% to Consumer Discretionary.

Global X Founder-Run Companies ETF

The Global X Founder-Run Companies ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive U.S. Founder-Run Companies Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to U.S. companies in which a founder or co-founder of the company is serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the company (collectively, "Founder-Run Companies"), as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 29.64%, while the Index decreased 29.36%. The Fund had a net asset value of $34.44 per share on November 30, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $24.18 on November 30, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from New Fortress Energy Inc and Steel Dynamics, Inc, which returned 106.87% and 76.97%, respectively. The worst performers were Carvana Co and Affirm Holdings, Inc, which returned -97.25% and -89.01%, respectively.

Founder-Run Companies came under pressure during the reporting period as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Federal Reserve") started raising interest rates to tame record-high inflation. Recession fears loomed on concerns about the Federal Reserve holding rates higher for longer periods, leading to the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period. The Information technology sector, to which the Fund had its largest exposure, became less attractive to investors during the reporting period due to higher interest rates. Long incubation periods of tech companies also led investors to avoid Founder-Run Companies. The Financial sector, to which the Fund had significant exposure also suffered losses, as investors became increasingly concerned about a potential recession. Losses suffered by the Consumer Discretionary and Real Estate sectors, which are negatively affected by high inflation, and higher interest rates, also led to negative performance. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate sector allocation of 27% to the Information Technology sector, 17% to the Health Care sector, and 16% to the Financials sector.

Notes to Financial Statements 
November 30, 2022

1. ORGANIZATION

The Global X Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on March 6, 2008. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. As of November 30, 2022, the Trust had one hundred and twelve portfolios, one hundred of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X Alternative Income ETF (formerly, Global X SuperDividend® Alternatives ETF), Global X S&P 500® Quality Dividend ETF, Global X U.S. Preferred ETF, Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF, Global X MLP ETF, Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF, Global X Conscious Companies ETF, Global X Adaptive U.S. Factor ETF, Global X Adaptive U.S. Risk Management ETF and Global X Founder-Run Companies ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund, other than the Global X Alternative Income ETF, Global X U.S. Preferred ETF, Global X Founder-Run Companies ETF and Global X Conscious Companies ETF, has elected non-diversified status under the 1940 Act.

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.

MLPs – Certain Funds may invest in MLPs. MLPs are publicly-traded partnerships engaged in the transportation, storage and processing of minerals and natural resources. By confining their operations to these specific activities, their interests, or units, are able to trade on public securities exchanges exactly like the shares of a corporation, without entity-level taxation. To qualify as an MLP, and to not be taxed as a corporation, a partnership must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources as set forth in Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These qualifying



107

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2022

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

sources include natural resource-based activities, such as the processing, transportation and storage of mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners, the general partner and limited partners. The general partner of an MLP is typically owned by a major energy company, an investment fund, the direct management of the MLP, or is an entity owned by one or more of such parties. The general partner may be structured as a private or publicly-traded corporation or other entity. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP through an up to 2% equity interest in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units.

Limited partners typically own the remainder of the partnership, through ownership of common units, and have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. MLPs are typically structured such that common units and general partner interests have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up to an established minimum amount (“minimum quarterly distributions” or “MQD”). Common and general partner interests also accrue arrearages in distributions to the extent the MQD is not paid. Once common and general partner interests have been paid, subordinated units receive distributions of up to the MQD; however, subordinated units do not accrue arrearages. Distributable cash in excess of the MQD is paid to both common and subordinated units and is distributed to both common and subordinated units generally on a pro rata basis. The general partner is also eligible to receive incentive distributions if the general partner operates the business in a manner which results in distributions paid per common unit surpassing specified target levels. As the general partner increases cash distributions to the limited partners, the general partner receives an increasingly higher percentage of the incremental cash distributions.

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. 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 may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.

Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds' investment adviser (the "Adviser"), and approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust. 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, each Fund may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s security that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that 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. As of November 30, 2022, there were no securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities


109

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2022

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(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 and 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); and

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 at November 30, 2022. 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 by BNP Paribas are held by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ custodian (“Custodian”) and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by the Custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral i

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.

It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations, and the Funds are prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (included in repurchase agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under an MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty, and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.

As of November 30, 2022, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to an MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(1) Excess collateral received is not presented in the table above. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the market value of the collateral received for each Fund.

(2) Net Amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES – It is each Fund’s intention, except for Global X MLP ETF, to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Code. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements, except for Global X MLP ETF 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%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based


111

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2022

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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 November 30, 2022, 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 in income tax expense on the Statements of,Operations. During the reporting period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.

Global X MLP ETF is taxed as a regular C-corporation for Federal income tax purposes and as such is obligated to pay Federal and applicable state corporate income tax. Currently, the Federal income tax rate for a corporation is 21%. This differs from most investment companies, which elect to be treated as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of the Code in order to avoid paying entity level income taxes. Under current law, Global X MLP ETF is not eligible to elect treatment as a regulated investment company due to its investments primarily in MLPs invested in energy assets. As a result, Global X MLP ETF will be obligated to pay applicable Federal and state corporate income taxes on its taxable income as opposed to most other investment companies, which are not so obligated. Global X MLP ETF expects that a portion of the distributions that are received from MLPs may be treated as a tax-deferred return of capital, thus reducing Global X MLP ETF’s current tax liability. However, the amount of taxes currently paid by Global X MLP ETF will vary depending on the amount of income and gains derived from investments and/or sales of MLP interests and such taxes have the potential to reduce an investor’s return from an investment in Global X MLP ETF.

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


112

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2022

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

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.

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 distributions from MLPs to Global X MLP ETF that exceed the Global X MLP ETF’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income are considered tax-deferred return of capital that will reduce Global X MLP ETF’s adjusted tax basis in the equity securities of the MLP. These reductions in Global X MLP ETF’s adjusted tax basis in MLP equity securities will increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) recognized by Global X MLP ETF on a subsequent sale of the securities. Global X MLP ETF will accrue deferred income taxes for any future tax liability associated with (i) that portion of MLP distributions considered to be a tax-deferred return of capital as well as (ii) capital appreciation of its investments. Upon the sale of an MLP security, Global X MLP ETF may be liable for previously deferred taxes. Global X MLP ETF will rely to some extent on information provided by the MLPs, which may not necessarily be timely, to estimate deferred tax liability for purposes of financial statement reporting and determining Global X MLP ETF’s NAV. From time to time, the Adviser will modify the estimates or assumptions related to Global X MLP ETF’s deferred tax liabilities as new information becomes available. Global X MLP ETF will generally compute deferred income taxes based on the Federal income tax rate applicable to corporations and an estimated rate attributable to state taxes.

INVESTMENTS IN REITs – With respect to the Funds, dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of these estimated amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts




113

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2022

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Global X Alternative Income's dividend income includes reclassifications of prior year and current year dividend income to return of capital/realized gain to align those income amounts to the character of those distributions. Those reclassifications exceeded current year dividend income resulting in a negative dividend income for the current fiscal year.

CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES – Per the terms of an agreement with the Custodian, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of LIBOR plus 2.00%. 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 NAV and only in large blocks of 10,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day.

An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to BBH, on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day. If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, an additional variable fee may be charged. The following table discloses the Creation Unit breakdown:

                Value at

3. RELATED PARTY AND SERVICE PROVIDER TRANSACTIONS

On July 2, 2018, the Adviser consummated a transaction pursuant to which it became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Mirae Asset Global Investments Co., Ltd. (“Mirae”). In this manner, the Adviser is ultimately controlled by Mirae, which is a leading financial services company in Korea and is the headquarters for the Mirae Asset Global Investments Group.

The Adviser serves as the investment adviser and the administrator for the Funds. Subject to the supervision of the Board, the Adviser is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds and the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters and provides or causes to be furnished all supervisory, administrative and other services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds, including certain distribution services (provided pursuant to a separate distribution agreement), certain shareholder and distribution-related services (provided pursuant to a separate Rule 12b-1 Plan and related agreements) and investment advisory services (provided pursuant to a separate Investment Advisory Agreement), under what is essentially an "all-in" fee structure. For the Adviser’s services to the respective Funds, under a supervision and administration agreement (the "Supervision and Administration Agreement"), each Fund pays a monthly fee to the Adviser at the annual rate below (stated as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the respective Fund). In addition, the Funds bear other expenses, directly and indirectly, that are not covered by the Supervision and Administration Agreement, which may vary and affect the total expense ratios of the Funds, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, custodian fees, acquired fund fees and expenses (except for the Global X Alternative Income ETF with respect to investment in affiliated investment companies), and other transaction expenses, interest expenses and extraordinary expenses (such as litigation and indemnification expenses).

The Supervision and Administration Agreement for the Global X Alternative Income ETF provides that the Adviser also bears the costs for acquired fund fees and expenses generated by investments by the Fund in affiliated investment companies. For the year ended November 30, 2022, the Adviser paid acquired fund fees and expenses of $129,532 and made such reimbursement payments to the Global X Alternative Income ETF on a monthly basis.

The following table discloses the supervision and administration fees payable pursuant to the Supervision and Administration Agreement:

5. TAX INFORMATION

Global X MLP ETF recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Accrued interest and penalties, if any, are included within the related tax liability line in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended November 30, 2022, Global X MLP ETF did not incur any interest or penalties.

Since Global X MLP ETF will be subject to taxation on its taxable income, the NAV of Global X MLP ETF shares will also be reduced by the accrual of any current and deferred tax liabilities.

Global X MLP ETF’s income tax expense/(benefit) consists of the following for the year ended November 30, 2022:

                Deferred            
        Current MLP        MLP         Total MLP

16,658,717
   
$
27,214,181
 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes.

Components of the Global X MLP ETF’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows for the year ended November 30, 2022:



 
   MLP   
Deferred tax assets/(liabilities):     
State Net Operating Loss Carryforward  $ 1,390,761  
Capital Loss Carryforward    42,572,013  
Other    577,671  
Net unrealized gain on investment securities    (61,199,162 )
Net Deferred Tax Asset/(Liability)  $ (16,658,717 )

 

Global X MLP ETF reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets based upon the weight of available evidence. When assessing the recoverability of its deferred tax assets, significant weight is given to the effects of potential future realized and unrealized gains on investments and the period over which these deferred tax assets can be realized. Currently, any capital losses that may be generated by the Global X MLP ETF are eligible to be carried back up to three years and can be carried forward for five years to offset capital gains recognized by Global X MLP ETF in those years.

5. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

Global X MLP ETF has estimated capital loss carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes as follows:



 
     
  Year Ended    Amount   Expiration 
Global X MLP ETF  11/30/2019    $ 28,978,317   11/30/2024 
   11/30/2020      123,982,398   11/30/2025 
   11/30/2021      37,432,903   11/30/2026 

 

Based upon Global X MLP ETF’s assessment, it has been determined that it is more likely than not that Global X MLP ETF’s deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income of the appropriate character. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been established for Global X MLP ETF’s deferred tax assets. Global X MLP ETF will continue to assess the need for a valuation allowance in the future. Significant increases or declines in the fair value of its portfolio of investments may change Global X MLP ETF’s assessment of the recoverability of these assets and may result in the recording or removal of a valuation allowance against all or a portion of the Global X MLP ETF’s gross deferred tax assets.

Total income tax expense/benefit (current and deferred) during the year ended November 30, 2022, differs from the amount computed by applying the Federal statutory income tax rate of 21% for Global X MLP ETF to net investment and realized and unrealized gain/ (losses) on investment before taxes as follows:

For the year ended November 30, 2022:

Global X MLP ETF recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed Global X MLP ETF’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on U.S. tax returns and state tax returns filed since the inception of Global X MLP ETF. No U.S. Federal or state income tax returns are currently under examination. The tax years ended November 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, remain subject to examination by tax authorities in the United States. Due to the nature of Global X MLP ETF’s investments, Global X MLP ETF may be required to file income tax returns in several states. Global X MLP ETF is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

5. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

State franchise taxes are separate and distinct from state income taxes. State franchise taxes are imposed on a corporation for the right to conduct business in the state and typically are based off the net worth or capital apportioned to a state. Due to the nature of Global X MLP ETF’s investments, Global X MLP ETF may be required to file franchise state tax returns in several states.

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 permanent differences primarily consist of REIT adjustments, reclassification of distributions, investments in publically traded partnerships, PFIC gain reclasses, and preferred stock adjustments. The permanent differences that are credited or charged to paid-in capital and distributable earnings are primarily related to redemptions in kind and return of capital distributions.

These differences have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2022:

          Distributable  
    Paid-in     Earnings  
Global X Funds    Capital     (Loss)  
Global X Alternative Income ETF    $ 204,278     $ (204,278 )

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds’ net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, mark-to-market treatment of passive foreign investment companies and adjustments in preferred stock and partnerships.

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

The Funds may invest in securities in a particular asset class. Securities and other assets held in each Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general securities markets, a particular securities market or other asset classes.

The Funds, except for Global X U.S. Preferred ETF and Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF, 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 in the underlying its index. A representative sampling strategy is an indexing strategy that




123

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2022


6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

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). The Global X U.S. Preferred ETF and Global X Variable Rate Preferred ETF use a representative sampling strategy. Representative sampling is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Fund’s underlying index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics.

The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.

The elimination of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") may adversely affect the interest rates on, and value of, certain Fund investments for which the value is tied to LIBOR. The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop compelling or inducing banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the administrator of LIBOR clarified that the publication of LIBOR on a representative basis will cease for the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after December 31, 2021, and for the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023. Alternatives to LIBOR are established or in development in most major currencies, including the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. Questions around impacts on liquidity resulting from this transition, and how to appropriately adjust these rates at the time of transition, remain a concern for the Funds. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Funds until new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products, instruments and contracts are commercially accepted.

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,


124

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2022


6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

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

7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of its total assets. Security loans made pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BBH are initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements, short-term investments or U.S. Treasury obligations and is recognized in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan.

Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market values of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly and the borrower failed to return the securities. In the event the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due, the securities lending agency agreement requires the lending agent to indemnify the Funds by replacing either the security or the security’s current market value to the Funds. The Funds could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. The Funds could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.

(1) 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.

8. CONTRACTURAL OBLIGATION

The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown, however, the Funds have not had prior gains or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”) and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.

9. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT

Effective April 28, 2020, the Global X MLP ETF executed a 1-for-6 reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of markets on April 27, 2020. The effect of this transaction for the Fund was to divide the number of outstanding Shares of the Fund by six, resulting in a corresponding increase in the NAV per Share. The capital share activity presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for each of the years in the period

Effective April 28, 2020, the Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF executed a 1-for-3 reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of markets on April 27, 2020. The effect of this transaction for the Fund was to divide the number of outstanding Shares of the Fund by three, resulting in a corresponding increase in the NAV per Share.

The capital share activity presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for each of the years in the period then ended, and per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended, have been given retroactive effect to reflect these reverse share splits.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

All exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) 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, commissions, 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 their investment in the Fund.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’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 your 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 (June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022).

The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Funds, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Funds under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the 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 Securities and Exchange Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) 

 

Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), requires that the board of trustees of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the ETF, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), consider on an initial basis and periodically thereafter (as required by the 1940 Act), at an in person meeting called for such purpose, the terms of each ETF’s investment advisory agreement and whether to approve entering into, or renewing, each agreement.

At a Board meeting of the Trust held on November 11, 2022, called for such purpose, the Board (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees, voting separately) considered and unanimously approved the continuation of (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement”) for each Fund included in this Annual Report (each, a “Renewal Fund”); and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust (“Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement”), on behalf of each Renewal Fund, and Global X Management. The Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement and the Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement are referred to herein as the “Renewal Agreements.”

In advance of the Board meeting, the Board (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees) and the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel requested (in writing) detailed information from Global X Management in connection with the Board’s consideration of the Renewal Agreements, and received and reviewed written responses from Global X Management, as well as supporting materials relating to those requests for information. In the course of their consideration of the Renewal Agreements, the Trust’s Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel and, in addition to meetings with management of Global X Management, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive sessions with their counsel.

RENEWAL AGREEMENTS

In determining to approve the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for the Renewal Funds, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the factors discussed in greater detail below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

With respect to this factor, the Board considered:

–  the terms of the Renewal Agreements and the range of services that would continue to be provided to each Renewal Fund in accordance with the Renewal Agreements;

–  Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would continue to provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to each Renewal Fund;




134

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)  (Continued)

– Global X Management’s responsibilities under the Renewal Agreements, among other things, to: (i) manage the investment operations of the Renewal Funds and the composition of the Renewal Funds’ assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of their holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and the Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights relating to securities and assets held by the Renewal Funds, (iv) select broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Renewal Funds when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of the Renewal Funds, and the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statements of additional information, and other reports and documents for the Renewal Funds that are required to be filed by the Trust with the SEC and other regulatory and governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including Creation Units) of the Renewal Funds by shareholders and new investors;

– the nature, extent and quality of all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that have been provided by Global X Management or made available to the Renewal Funds; and

– the quality of Global X Management’s resources and personnel that would continue to be made available to the Renewal Funds, including Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Renewal Funds by Global X Management.

Performance

The Board considered the performance of each Renewal Fund. They examined the performance of the Renewal Funds for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods, as applicable. Also, the Board considered the total return and investments performance of the Renewal Funds relative to (i) the performance of unaffiliated comparable ETFs and/or other registered funds, which performance information is publicly available from such registered funds, as well as other third party sources; and (ii) the performance of pertinent indexes. The Board considered instances of under-performance and over-performance with respect to the competitor funds. The Board also considered the Renewal Funds’ tracking against their underlying indexes in absolute terms.

Based on these considerations and comparisons, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Renewal Funds did not adversely affect the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Renewal Agreements.

Cost of Services and Profitability

 

135

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)

The Board considered Global X Management’s cost to provide investment management, supervision and administrative and related services to the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board considered the management fee (“Management Fee”) that has been borne or is expected to be borne by the Renewal Funds under the Renewal Agreements for the various investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that the Renewal Funds require under a unitary fee structure (including the types of fees and expenses that are not included within the unitary fee and would be borne by the Renewal Funds).

In addition, the Board considered expected profitability to Global X Management, as applicable, from all services provided or expected to be provided to the Renewal Funds and all aspects of Global X Management’s relationship with the Renewal Funds. In connection with these considerations, Global X Management provided the Board with financial information regarding its operations and the services provided to the Renewal Funds and discussed with the Board its current and expected, as applicable, profitability with respect to the Renewal Funds.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the Management Fee rate paid by the Renewal Funds to Global X Management, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, was reasonable and in the best interests of the Renewal Funds’ shareholders.

Comparison of Fees and Services

With respect to this factor, the Board considered:

comparative information with respect to the Management Fee paid to Global X Management by the Renewal Funds. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with comparative expense data for the Renewal Funds, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated similar specialized and/or focused ETFs and/or other comparable registered funds. The Board considered the Global X Management’s detailed explanation of the fee structures of any Renewal Fund that was above the average or median for its peer group;

– the structure of the unitary Management Fee (which includes as one component the investment advisory fee for the Renewal Funds) and the current total expense ratios for the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the Renewal Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratio (i.e., the total fees) of the Renewal Funds and that the proposed Management Fees for the Renewal Funds were set at a competitive levels to make the Renewal Funds viable in the marketplace; and

–  that, under the unified Management Fee structure, Global X Management is responsible for most ordinary expenses of the Renewal Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the Renewal Funds, including investment advisory,

administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that the Renewal Funds would bear other expenses not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the services received and the fees charged under the Renewal Agreements were reasonable on a comparative basis.

Economies of Scale

With respect to this factor, the Board considered:

– the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Renewal Funds grow and whether the unitary Management Fee for the Renewal Funds reflected these economies of scale;

– the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management has made and intends to continue to make in the Renewal Funds in order to seek to assure that the Renewal Funds are attractive to investors; and

– that the unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for the Renewal Funds and their shareholders.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the unitary Management Fee for the Renewal Funds appropriately addressed economies of scale.

Other Benefits

In considering the Renewal Agreements, in addition to the factors above, the Board considered any other benefits realized by Global X Management as a result of its relationships with the Renewal Funds and concluded that, in the exercise of the Board’s business judgement, all information the Board considered supported approval of the continuation of the Renewal Agreements.

Conclusion

After full consideration of the factors above, as well as other factors that were instructive in its consideration, the Board, including all of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, concluded, in the exercise of its business judgement, that the Renewal Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Renewal Fund.

In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors above nor did the Board deem any one factor or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. Each member of the Board may have assigned different weights to the various factors.

Supplemental information (Unaudited)

NAV is the price per Share at which a Fund issues and redeems Shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. The Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of 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 their 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.
