Management Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
 
 
Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF
 


Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF
The Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic 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 seeks to invest in companies that potentially stand to benefit from increased adoption and utilization of robotics and artificial intelligence (“AI”), as defined by Indxx, the provider of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index includes companies involved in industrial robotics and automation, non-industrial robots, and/or autonomous vehicles.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 14.23%, while the Underlying Index increased 15.08%. The Fund had a net asset value of $31.78 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $36.24 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Nvidia Corporation and Ats Automation Tooling Systems, which returned 144.07% and 122.05%, respectively. The worst performers included AI Inside, Inc. and Neural Pocket, Inc., which returned -92.00% and -74.13%, respectively.
Over the reporting period, robotics and AI companies showed ongoing growth generating positive performance for the Fund. As much of the workforce was no longer able to work in-person due to the COVID-19 pandemic, robots were utilized in spaces such as warehouses and medicine where automation was deemed necessary. The COVID-19 pandemic saw hospitals and clinics deploying robots for prepping patient rooms, limiting human contact, and using AI software to sort patient records. Factory automation was a driving force for adoption of AI over the reporting period, prompting companies to invest in new plants—specifically in China. Another area where both robotics and AI saw expansion was within the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) industry, with a primary focus on self-driving trucking technology and potential AV fleets. The Fund’s Japanese exposure detracted from performance as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic dampened corporate performance. Over the reporting period, the Fund saw an average approximate sector allocation of 44% to Industrials, 37% to Information Technology, and 4% to Financials. It was predominately exposed to the United States (41%), followed by Japan (39%), and Switzerland (12%).

Global X Internet of Things ETF
The Global X Internet of Things ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Global Internet of Things Thematic 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 seeks to invest in companies that stand to potentially benefit from the broader adoption of the Internet of Things (“IoT”). This includes the development and manufacturing of semiconductors and sensors, integrated products and solutions, and applications serving smart grids, smart homes, connected cars, and the industrial internet.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 26.24%, while the Underlying Index increased 26.75%. The Fund had a net asset value of $29.95 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $37.68 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from eMemory Technology, Inc. and Nordic Semiconductor ASA, which returned 287.06% and 132.50%, respectively. The worst performers were Vivint Smart Home, Inc. Class A and Kyndryl Holdings Incorporation, which returned -52.16% and -44.56%, respectively.
The Fund generated strong returns over the reporting period even as manufacturers of IoT devices faced a global semiconductor shortage. This ongoing supply crunch reduced availability of components and rendered manufacturers unable to meet full demand for devices. Growing demand for IoT devices related to cloud computing, video games, autonomous and electric vehicles, infrastructure, and fitness wearables kept investors interested even with short term headwinds. Additionally, passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in the United States, which authorized billions of dollars in funding for 5G expansion, likely contributed to positive sentiments toward the IoT industry. Adoption of low latency and high capacity 5G networks could accommodate the expected surge in internet-enabled devices. Over the reporting period, average approximate sector weightings of the Fund were reported to be the highest in Information Technology, at 63%, followed by Industrials, at 24%. The Fund maintained an average allocation of 57% to the United States stocks, followed by Switzerland (16%) and Taiwan (10%).

Global X FinTech ETF
The Global X FinTech ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Global Fintech Thematic 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 seeks to invest in companies on the leading edge of the emerging financial technology sector, which encompasses a range of innovations helping to transform established industries – such as insurance, investing, fundraising, and third-party lending – through unique mobile and digital solutions.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.48%, while the Underlying Index increased 7.11%. The Fund had a net asset value of $42.75 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $45.52 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from LendingClub Corp and Hut 8 Mining Corp, which returned 310.02% and 180.43%, respectively. The worst performers included StoneCo Ltd. Class A and Makuake, Inc., which returned -78.69% and -57.08%, respectively.
The Fund experienced modest returns over the reporting period. Innovations, such as “buy now pay later”, an alternative to traditional forms of credit gaining popularity in the e-commerce industry, positively contributed to growth in the financial technology (“Fintech”) industry. However, Fintech firms faced some obstacles, especially in the cryptocurrency space, as governments imposed regulations on digital transactions. Companies were impacted by increasing regulations over technology platforms in China and in the United States. During the reporting period, the Fund saw large average sector exposures to Information Technology (85%) and Financials (13%). Geographically, it maintained an allocation of 59% to stocks in the United States, followed by Australia (5%), Brazil (2%), the Netherlands (7%), and New Zealand (4%).

Global X Video Games & Esports ETF
The Global X Video Games & Esports ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Video Games & Esports Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are positioned to benefit from increased consumption related to video games and esports, including companies whose principal business is in video game development/publishing, video game and esports content distribution and streaming, operating/owning esports leagues/teams, and producing video game/esports hardware. To be eligible for the Underlying Index, a company must be considered by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”), to be a Video Games & Esports Company. A company is considered to be a Video Games & Esports Company by the Index Provider if the company generates at least 50% of its revenues from video games and esports activities.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 4.09%, while the Underlying Index increased 4.71%. The Fund had a net asset value of $28.57 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $29.52 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Wemade Co., Ltd. and PearlAbyss Corp., which returned 809.41% and 196.19%, respectively. The worst performers were DouYu International Holdings Ltd. and HUYA, Inc. Sponsored ADR Class A which returned -79.03% and -58.39%, respectively.
Video game companies delivered slightly positive returns over the reporting period. Video Games & Esports Companies were adversely impacted by Chinese restrictions on video games. Video Games & Esports Companies also faced headwinds from the shift away from the stay-at-home economy. However, COVID-19 pandemic-driven stay-at-home orders helped accelerate an emerging theme of interactive video games and esports as consumers sought social interaction. Toward the end of the reporting period, many game manufacturers began opting to make the console obsolete and move towards a cloud-based system, which promoted optimism surrounding Video Games & Esports Companies. During the reporting period, the number of gamers and time spent playing and watching video games showed consistent growth. During the reporting period, the Fund saw an average approximate allocation of 90% to Communication Services and 10% to Information Technology. Geographically, the Fund had an average exposure of 29% to the United States, followed by 25% to Japan and 13% to China.

Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF
The Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Autonomous & Electric Vehicles Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the price movements in shares of companies which are active in the electric vehicle (“EV”) and autonomous driving segments, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. In particular, this includes electric vehicle manufacturers, electric vehicle component producers, companies that mine or produce raw materials that are relevant to the electric vehicle and autonomous vehicle technology segment, companies that build autonomous vehicles, and suppliers of autonomous vehicle technologies.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 40.22%, while the Underlying Index increased 40.97%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.75 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $30.41 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Pilbara Minerals Limited and Nvidia Corporation, which returned 278.27% and 144.07%, respectively. The worst performers included CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. and Romeo Power, Inc., which returned -52.04% and -42.86%, respectively.
Global EV sales grew at a rapid rate over the reporting period, generating strong returns for the Fund. Much of the growth was attributed to a continued transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy and government support across major economies for the adoption of EVs through subsidies. With President Biden’s goal of EVs accounting for at least 50% of new vehicle sales in the United States by 2030, demand is expected to sustain in the coming years as EV sales in the United States more than doubled in 2021. An obstacle for EV manufacturers that caused volatility was rapidly increasing lithium prices – a key element in batteries used in EVs. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained an average approximate sector allocation of 36% to Consumer Discretionary, 30% to Information Technology, and 14% to Industrials. It had an average allocation of 61% to the United States, 8% to Japan, and 5% to China.

The Fund had a net asset value of $25.84 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $28.38 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Zscaler, Inc. and Workiva Inc. Class A, which returned 122.77% and 85.98%, respectively. The worst performers included VNET Group, Inc. Sponsored ADR and Zoom Video Communications, Inc. Class A, which returned -65.7% and -55.81%, respectively.
Cloud computing companies realized moderate returns during the reporting period. The switch to a work-from-home economy forced companies to transition their software usage from on-premises to the cloud resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Cloud Computing Companies faced hindrances from initiating cloud migration and a lack of information technology (IT) knowledge during the reporting period due to the novelty of cloud computing. However, many businesses found advantages by adopting cloud or hybrid-cloud models. Customers increasingly opted for multi-cloud infrastructure solutions to diversify risk and align specific needs with the appropriate cloud provider. Even as the COVID-19 pandemic eased, cloud adoption remained strong. This mitigated the effects of the switch away from the stay-at-home economy during the reporting period. During the reporting period, the Fund saw an average approximate sector allocation of 84% to Information Technology, 6% to Communication Services, and 5% to Real Estate. The Fund had an average allocation of 88% to the United States, 4% to Canada, and 4% to New Zealand.

Global X Data Center REITs & Digital Infrastructure ETF
 


Global X Data Center REITs & Digital Infrastructure ETF
The Global X Data Center REITs & Digital Infrastructure ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Data Center REITs & Digital 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 designed to provide exposure to companies that have business operations in the fields of data centers, cellular towers, and/or digital infrastructure hardware. Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “Data Center REITs & Digital Infrastructure Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”).
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 20.17%, while the Underlying Index increased 20.22%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.94 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.83 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Nvidia Corporation and PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk, which returned 144.07% and 112.10%, respectively. The worst performers included VNET Group, Inc. and GDS Holdings Ltd. Sponsored ADR Class A, which returned -65.70% and -37.75%, respectively.
The Fund generated positive returns due to a favorable environment for REITs as well as positive sentiment towards infrastructure legislature during the reporting period. Historically low bond yields drove income-seeking investors to explore REITs as a solution. Additionally, concerns over rising inflation renewed interest towards inflation hedging assets such as REITs. Furthermore, anticipation surrounding the recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”), a U.S. bill aimed at enhancing infrastructure, helped create investor interest in the data center and digital infrastructure industries. The IIJA seeks to invest billions in expanding broadband, with provisions that aim to improve data center and cellular tower capacity. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained the highest average approximate exposure of 66% to the Real Estate sector and 25% to the Information Technology sector.

Global X Cannabis ETF
The Global X Cannabis ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Cannabis 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 provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are active in the cannabis industry as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”). In order to be eligible for inclusion in the Cannabis Index, a company is considered by the Index Provider to be a “Cannabis Company” if it derives at least 50% of its revenue, operating income, or assets from the cannabis industry. These companies include those involved in the following areas of the cannabis industry: (i) the legal production, growth and distribution of marijuana, as well as extracts, derivative products or synthetic versions thereof; (ii) the legal production, growth and distribution of hemp, as well as extracts, derivative products or synthetic versions thereof; (iii) financial services (insurance offerings, property leasing, financing, capital markets activity and investments) provided to companies involved in the production, growth and distribution of cannabis; (iv) pharmaceutical applications of cannabis; (v) cannabidiol (better known as CBD) and cannabis oil products, edibles, topicals, drinks and other products; and (vi) products that may be used to consume cannabis.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 38.79%, while the Underlying Index decreased 39.98%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.05 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $7.22 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Aphria Inc. and GW Pharmaceuticals PLC which returned 59.58% and 56.31%, respectively. The worst performers were Flora Growth Corp. and Charlottes Web Holdings Inc., which returned -88.20% and -75.11%, respectively.
Developing market dynamics and a lack of action toward legalizing cannabis at the Federal level in the United States resulted in a negative performance for the Fund over the reporting period. An opportunity for legal participants could come in the form of Federal legalization in the United States, which would grant relevant companies access to basic financing and tax advantages. After members of the Democratic party won control of the United States Congress and the Presidency, investor enthusiasm increased surrounding Cannabis Companies, as many anticipated potential initiatives to legalize recreational cannabis. However, a lack of notable action on this front ultimately discouraged investors and resulted in a prolonged selloff during the reporting period. During the reporting period, the Fund saw an average approximate sector allocation of 93% to Health care and 4% to Financials. Geographically, the fund maintained an average allocation of 78% to stocks in Canada, followed by the United States (16%) and Britain (4%).

Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF
 


Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF
The Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Genomics 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 companies that are active in the field of genomics (“Genomics Companies”), as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”). According to the Index Provider, Genomics Companies include those involved in the following business activities: gene editing, genomic sequencing, development and testing of genetic medicine or therapies, computational genomics and genetic diagnostics or biotechnology.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 1.77%, while the Underlying Index decreased 1.39%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.01 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.61 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Genscript Biotech Corporation and Intellia Therapeutics, Inc., which returned 266.00% and 192.87%, respectively. The worst performers included Adverum Biotechnologies Inc and Cellectis SA Sponsored ADR, which returned -87.20% and -66.02%, respectively.
The Fund generated mild losses as fluctuations in demand for COVID-19 testing controlled sentiment toward Genomics Companies during the reporting period. For much of the reporting period, investors flocked to Genomics Companies because of their relevance to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as vaccine campaigns ramped up around globe and demand for testing fell, sentiments turned against diagnostics companies. Biotech firms hampered performance as investors favored other industries as the COVID-19 pandemic developed. During the reporting period, the Fund was invested 100% in the Healthcare sector. Geographically, the Fund maintained an average allocation of 85% to stocks in the United States, followed by the Netherlands (5%) and Switzerland (4%).

The MSCI ACWI (Net) (All Country World Index) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets.
The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when 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.
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 China Biotech Innovation ETF
 


Global X China Biotech Innovation ETF
The Global X China Biotech Innovation ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive China Biotech Innovation Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are directly involved in China’s biotech industry. In constructing the Underlying Index, Solactive utilizes FactSet Industry classifications to identify companies that are directly involved in the biotechnology industry. Only those securities classified in the biotechnology industry according to FactSet as of each rebalance date are eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index is weighted according to a modified capitalization weighting methodology and is reconstituted and re-weighted semi-annually.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 7.26%, while the Underlying Index increased 7.91%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.88 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $15.96 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Genscript Biotech Corporation and Joinn Laboratories Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned 266.00% and 122.96%, respectively. The worst performers included JW Therapeutics Co. Ltd. and Berry Genomics Co. Ltd. Class A, which returned -54.04% and -44.11%, respectively.
The Fund delivered moderate returns during the reporting period as sentiment towards Chinese biotech equities benefitted from the announcement of the 14th Five-Year Plan (“FYP”), in spite of declining sentiment towards Chinese equities more broadly. Some Chinese biotech stocks, including major holdings in the Fund, followed a long rally that began with the outbreak of COVID-19 in January 2020 and carried over into the beginning of the reporting period. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for innovative healthcare and pharmaceuticals. Chinese biotech equities were not immune to declining sentiment and regulatory issues, but the reveal of the 14th FYP boosted expectations for Chinese biotech stocks. As the reporting period progressed, challenging regulations against education and technology companies likely detracted from the Fund’s performance. Furthermore, American Depositary Receipts in the Fund, especially those making use of the variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure, were adversely impacted by heightened scrutiny, particularly after the United States Securities and Exchange Commission published a letter in July regarding risks associated with VIEs. During the reporting period, the Fund saw an average approximate allocation of 96% to Health Care, 4% to Consumer Staples, and 0.1% to Consumer Discretionary. It maintained an average allocation of 96% to China, and 4% to Hong Kong.

Global X Telemedicine & Digital Health ETF
 


Global X Telemedicine & Digital Health ETF
The Global X Telemedicine & Digital Health ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Telemedicine & Digital Health Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of telemedicine and digital health, as well as applications thereof (collectively, “Telemedicine & Digital Health Companies”), as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”). In order to be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, a company is considered by the Index Provider to be a Telemedicine & Digital Health Company if it derives at least 50% of its revenue from telemedicine and/or digital health related business operations. Telemedicine & Digital Health Companies include those involved in the following business activities: (i) telemedicine, (ii) healthcare analytics, (iii) connected healthcare devices, and/or (iv) administrative digitization.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 11.32%, while the Underlying Index decreased 10.76%. The Fund had a net asset value of $18.41 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $16.32 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from OptimizeRx Corporation and Inovalon Holdings, Inc. Class A, which returned 146.03% and 119.93%, respectively. The worst performers included Ontrak, Inc. and SmileDirectClub Inc Class A, which returned -87.77% and -75.04%, respectively.
The Fund’s losses over the reporting period could be attributed to uncertainty around the future operations of Telemedicine & Digital Health Companies when the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided. While performance was strong during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic, performance turned negative as growth expectations moderated for Telemedicine & Digital Health Companies as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic waned. Concerns over rolled back coverage for digital healthcare services in some markets as well as declining telemedicine appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic were contributing factors in the selloff. Over the reporting period the average approximate sector weightings of the Fund were reported to be the highest in Healthcare, at 91%, followed by Information Technology at 5%. Geographically, the Fund maintained an average allocation of 84% to United States stocks, followed by China (5%) and Japan (4%).

Global X Aging Population ETF
The Global X Aging Population ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Aging Population Thematic Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of companies listed in developed markets that are expected to directly or indirectly contribute to increasing the life spans of the senior population of the world. The Underlying Index provides access to companies involved in biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, senior living facilities, and specialized health care services that respond to the needs of this demographic.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 2.51%, while the Underlying Index increased 2.71%. The Fund had a net asset value of $26.82 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $27.41 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Straumann Holding AG and DexCom, Inc, which returned 84.59% and 75.99%, respectively. The worst performers were Epizyme, Inc and FibroGen, Inc, which returned -76.20% and 69.72%, respectively.
Businesses dedicated to serving aging populations had flat returns during the reporting period. The COVID-19 pandemic caused many pharmaceutical companies to invest in innovation across the healthcare sector geared towards containing COVID-19. Biotech companies also lagged in performance, as high sales expectations began to subside. However, health care equipment companies provided a ballast to the Fund, as these companies recorded strong performance. Over the reporting period, the Fund saw an average approximate allocation of 95% to Healthcare Equipment and 5% to Real Estate. Geographically, the Fund maintained an average allocation to the United States (58%), followed by Switzerland (7%), and Denmark (7%).

The Global X Health & Wellness ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Global Health & Wellness Thematic Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of companies listed in developed markets that provide products and services aimed at promoting physical wellness through active and healthy lifestyles, including but not limited to fitness equipment and technology, athletic apparel, nutritional supplements, and organic/ natural food offerings.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 16.90%, while the Underlying Index increased 17.25%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.11 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $28.04 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Xtep International Holdings Limited and Descente, Ltd., which returned 224.31% and 145.57%, respectively. The worst performers included Peloton Interactive, Inc. Class A and Nautilus Inc, which returned -62.18% and -58.78%, respectively.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a renewed focus on healthy living and wellness, resulting in a positive performance for the Fund over the reporting period. Social distancing behaviors created a significant opportunity for digital fitness providers to address consumer needs during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Investors flocked to the biggest names in digital fitness at the beginning of the reporting period, which offset some of the losses the Fund experienced from in-person provider performance towards the end of the reporting period. The introduction of vaccines and loosening of social distancing measures allowed in-person fitness companies to mount strong comebacks, with many gyms now reporting membership levels comparable to before the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the COVID-19 pandemic generated challenges for the components of the Underlying Index, but it also created opportunities that attracted investor interest over the reporting period. During reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate sector allocation of 73% to Consumer Discretionary, 20% to Consumer Staples, and 5% to Healthcare. Geographically, the Fund maintained an average exposure of 41% to the United States, followed by 13% to Japan, and 11% to China.

The Global X CleanTech ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Global CleanTech Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is maintained by Indxx LLC (the “Index Provider”). The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of companies that develop technology or equipment that enables the production of energy from renewable sources, efficient utilization of energy and reduction of negative environmental influences (collectively “CleanTech Companies”), as defined by the Index Provider. CleanTech Companies include, but are not limited to, companies whose principal business is in developing technology relating to renewable energy, energy efficiency, smart grid implementation, lithium-ion batteries and/or fuel cells, and/or pollution prevention/amelioration.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 7.48%, while the Underlying Index increased 5.00%. The Fund had a net asset value of $19.02 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.43 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Limited and Ameresco, Inc. Class A, which returned 149.58% and 102.76%, respectively. The worst performers included TPI Composites, Inc. and QuantumScape Corporation Class A, which returned -55.68% and -51.40%, respectively.
The Fund generated positive performance even as supply chain disturbances represented a major headwind for CleanTech Companies over the reporting period. Renewable energy equipment manufacturers are one of many cohorts that suffered from supply chain disturbances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Heightened materials costs, labor shortages, and shipping delays limited the ability of renewable energy equipment manufacturers to move products downstream. Additionally, a departure from growth-oriented strategies and recovering sentiment toward traditional oil and gas hampered returns. However, long term tailwinds for renewable energy adoption remained intact through the COVID-19 pandemic and generated enough interest to keep performance positive during the reporting period. As the adverse impacts of climate change continued to be felt broadly, governments around the world increasingly turned to renewable energy production to accommodate rising power demand. During the reporting period, average sector weighting of the Fund was reported to be the highest in Industrials, at 46%, followed by Information Technology at 45%. Geographically, the Fund had an average exposure of 30% to the United States, followed by 13% to South Korea, and 12% to China.

Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF
The Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx U.S. Infrastructure Development 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 measure the performance of U.S. listed companies that provide exposure to domestic infrastructure development, including companies involved in construction and engineering, production of infrastructure raw materials, composites and products, industrial transportation and producers/distributors of heavy construction equipment.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 34.90%, while the Underlying Index increased 35.72%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.24 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $27.19 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Herc Holdings, Inc. and Calix, Inc., which returned 198.39% and 182.77%, respectively. The worst performers were Team, Inc. and Argan, Inc., which returned -84.50% and -10.75%, respectively.
After months of deliberations, in November 2021 U.S. lawmakers passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”), an unprecedented infrastructure package, generating investor enthusiasm toward infrastructure related investments and a strong performance from the Fund during the reporting period. The IIJA could act as a long-term tailwind for infrastructure related investments. Besides positive sentiment toward the IIJA, the Fund also generally benefitted from historically low interest rates which made public-private-partnerships more attractive over the reporting period. Rising commodity prices also helped certain companies the Fund is invested in. During the reporting period, the Fund saw an average approximate allocation of 71% to Industrials, 21% to Materials, and 3% to Information Technology.

Global X Thematic Growth ETF
 


Global X Thematic Growth ETF
The Global X Thematic Growth ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Thematic Growth 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 seeks to provide broad exposure to thematic growth strategies using a portfolio of exchange-traded funds each of which is issued by Global X Funds (the “Underlying ETFs”). The share prices of the Underlying ETFs are expected to track the performance of equities in developed or emerging markets that provide exposure to structurally disruptive macro-trends. The Underlying ETFs are selected and weighted by calculating the weighted average sales growth for each Underlying ETF.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 12.95%, while the Underlying Index increased 12.39%. The Fund had a net asset value of $42.45 per share on November 30, 2020 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $47.65 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF and Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF, which returned 78.41% and 14.57%, respectively. The worst performers were Global X Cannabis ETF and Global X Renewable Energy Producers ETF, which returned -38.58% and -3.83%, respectively.
During the reporting period, investors benefitted from the allocation of Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF due to increased lithium demand for electric vehicle battery technology. Alternatively, performance was more negative for Global X Cannabis ETF while cannabis companies plunged from their highs earlier in the year as legalization efforts eased, especially in the U.S. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate allocation of 19% to Global X Fintech ETF, 18% to Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF, 17% to Global X Cloud Computing ETF, 12% to Global X Cannabis ETF, 11% to Global X Social Media ETF, 11% to Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF and 10% to Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF.

The Global X AgTech & Food Innovation ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive AgTech & Food Innovation 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 companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the fields of agricultural technology (“AgTech”) and food innovation. Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “AgTech & Food Innovation Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”).

Supply chain disruption attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as general market dynamics contributed to the Fund’s negative performance over the reporting period. Although alternative foods are more input-efficient than traditional agricultural products, producers were unable to avoid labor shortages and distribution difficulties. These COVID-19 pandemic-related externalities, as well as general hesitancy toward growth strategies in the second half of the reporting period, were responsible for the Fund’s negative performance. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate allocation of 38% to Consumer Staples, 35% to Materials and 21% to Industrials. Geographically, the Fund had an average allocation of 60% to the United States, 15% to Canada, and 9% to Sweden.

Global X Clean Water ETF
The Global X Clean Water ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Clean Water Industry Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies expected to benefit from further advances in the provision of clean water, including but not limited to, companies whose principal business involves water treatment, recycling (including water reclamation), purification, desalination, storage, distribution, and/or sustainability (collectively, “Clean Water Companies”), as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”).
From the inception of the Fund to period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 11.52%, while the Underlying Index increased 11.74%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.04 per share on April 8, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $16.73 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Evoqua Water Technologies Corp and Watts Water Technologies, Inc. Class A, which returned 65.92% and 61.46%, respectively. The worst performers included Vow ASA and Aguas Andinas SA Class A, which returned -50.12% and -26.59%, respectively.
Heavily publicized climate events and relevant U.S. legislation contributed to strong Fund performance over the reporting period. Droughts in many regions including the western United States, Brazil, and China constricted water supplies. In many cases the resulting water shortages led to agricultural limitations, manufacturing delays, and hydropower plant shutdowns. These droughts highlighted the worsening issue of water scarcity and drew attention to Clean Water Companies. Additionally, investors were encouraged by negotiations surrounding the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”), which carried on throughout the reporting period. The IIJA, which was passed in November 2021, directs billions toward retrofitting aging U.S. water infrastructure as well as fortifying relevant utilities against climate change and cyberattacks. The IIJA could constitute a major tailwind for the theme over the next decade. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate allocation of 46% to Utilities, 41% to Industrials, and 9% to Materials. Geographically, the Fund maintained an average exposure of 61% to the United States, followed by 19% to the United Kingdom, and 4% to France.

The Global X Hydrogen ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Hydrogen 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 companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of hydrogen technology. Hydrogen technology includes products and services focused on the development and implementation of hydrogen gas as a renewable fuel source. Hydrogen technology may play an important role in the transition toward renewable energy and fossil fuels. Specifically, the Underlying Index includes securities issued by “Hydrogen Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”).
From the inception of the Fund to period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 2.64%, while the Underlying Index decreased 2.49%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.04 per share on July 12, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $24.38 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns derived from Plug Power Inc. and Bloom Energy Corporation Class A, which returned 37.32% and 20.47%, respectively. The worst performers included Cell Impact AB and Xebec Adsorption Inc., which returned -48.14% and -37.92%, respectively.
The Fund’s mild losses over the reporting period were attributable to early adoption levels for hydrogen as a next-generation fuel source and energy storage option. Several new policies, such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in the United States, as well as updated sustainability goals in the European Union, highlighted green hydrogen capacity expansion as a future priority. Such initiatives could become strong drivers for Hydrogen Companies but were unable to counteract a general pullback from growth strategies toward the end of the reporting period. During the reporting period, the Fund saw an average approximate allocation of 92% to Industrials, 3% to Energy, and 3% to Materials. It maintained an average allocation of 41% to the United States, 16% to Canada, and 10% to the United Kingdom.

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 companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of solar technology. Specifically, the Underlying Index consists of securities issued by “Solar Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”).
From the inception of the Fund to period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.24%, while the Underlying Index increased 6.36%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.19 per share on September 8, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.70 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Risen Energy Co., Ltd. Class A and Enphase Energy, Inc. which returned 65.45% and 53.02%, respectively. The worst performers were Esenboga Elektrik Uretim AS and IRICO Group New Energy Co. Ltd. Class H, which returned -43.87% and -35.95%, respectively.
Solar Companies had modest returns during the reporting period in the face of COVID-19 pandemic-related supply chain issues and geopolitical considerations. Labor shortages and high commodity prices heightened solar component costs during the reporting period, reducing profit margins. Particularly in the United States, where solar supply chains are decentralized, high shipping costs and frequent delays negatively affected investor sentiment toward affected companies. Additionally, investors reacted negatively when the United States considered enforcing tariffs on select Chinese solar components, a move that would drastically reduce availability of photovoltaic cells to operators in the United States. Tensions cooled on this front toward the end of the reporting period, though nonetheless this geopolitical event contributed to volatility. Over the reporting period, the Fund had an average sector allocation of 63% to Information Technology, followed by Industrials (19%) and Utilities (15%). Geographically, the Fund had an average allocation of 53% to China, 22% to United States, and 8% to Israel.

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 companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of wind energy technology. Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “Wind Energy Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index.
From the inception of the Fund to period ended November 30, 2021 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 4.27%, while the Underlying Index decreased 4.13%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.82 per share on September 8, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.76 per share on November 30, 2021.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Jinlei Technology Co., Ltd. Class A and Ming Yang Smart Energy Group Limited Class A which returned 47.85% and 40.73%, respectively. The worst performers were TPI Composites, Inc. and CS Bearing Co., Ltd., which returned -49.35% and -35.65%, respectively.
Wind Energy Companies were subject to supply chain disruption and unfavorable weather conditions which resulted in a negative performance for the Fund during the reporting period. Increases in the cost of materials, labor shortages, and shipping complications related to the COVID-19 pandemic hurt margins for wind companies. Although domestic turbine production is increasing in many markets, wind energy supply chains were not insulated against these disruptions. Additionally, wind conditions were unusually poor for energy production over the reporting period resulting in negative investor sentiment. The effects of these suboptimal conditions were most clear in Europe, where disappointing wind production contributed to well-publicized power shortages. Long term optimism about favorable renewable energy policies and increasing urgency to fight climate change helped balance performance. Over the reporting period, the Fund had an average sector allocation of 52% to Industrials, followed by Utilities (39%) and Materials (8%). Geographically, the Fund had an average allocation of 42% to China, 22% to Denmark, and 16% to Canada.

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, as amended, (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. As of November 30, 2021, the Trust had one hundred and two portfolios, eighty-nine of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF, Global X Internet of Things ETF, Global X FinTech ETF, Global X Video Games & Esports ETF, Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF, Global X Cloud Computing ETF, Global X Data Center REITs & Digital Infrastructure ETF, Global X Cybersecurity ETF, Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF, Global X Millennial Consumer ETF, Global X Education ETF, Global X Cannabis ETF, Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF, Global X China Biotech Innovation ETF, Global X Telemedicine & Digital Health ETF, Global X Aging Population ETF, Global X Health & Wellness ETF, Global X CleanTech ETF, Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF, Global X Thematic Growth ETF, Global X AgTech & Food Innovation ETF, Global X Blockchain ETF, Global X Clean Water ETF, Global X Hydrogen ETF, Global X Solar ETF and Global X Wind Energy ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund, other than the Global X Millennial Consumer ETF, Global X Aging Population ETF, Global X Health & Wellness ETF and Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF, has elected non-diversified status under the 1940 Act.
Effective April 1, 2021, the Global X Longevity Thematic ETF changed its name to Global X Aging Population ETF, the Global X Millennials Thematic ETF changed its name to Global X Millennial Consumer ETF, and the Global X Health & Wellness Thematic ETF changed its name to Global X Health & Wellness ETF.
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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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 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 by the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust. The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using the Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, 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 the 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





209

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate 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, 2021, Global X Cannabis ETF had one fair valued security totaling $1,582,637 in value. There were no other 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 (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); 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 the year ended November 30, 2021, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as material Level 3 investments as of November 30, 2021. The disclosures below also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

5.0%


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, 2021. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS – Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements by BNP Paribas are held by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ custodian (“Custodian”), and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by the Custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations, and the Funds are prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (included in repurchase agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Repurchase

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, 2021, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to an MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax positions in the current period. Management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), and on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, and regulations and interpretations thereof.
If a Fund has foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.
As of and during the year ended November 30, 2021, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as 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.
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.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
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 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.
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES – Per the terms of an agreement with BBH, 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at NAV and only in large blocks of 10,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day.
An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to BBH, on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, an additional variable fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:

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 services 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 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, acquired fund fees and expenses, (except for Global X Thematic Growth ETF), and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses (such as litigation and indemnification expenses).
The Supervision and Administration Agreement for the Global X Thematic Growth ETF provides that the Adviser also bears the costs for acquired fund fees and expenses generated by investments by the Global X Thematic Growth ETF in affiliated investment companies.

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The permanent differences primarily consist of foreign currency, REIT adjustments, reclassification of distributions, investments in publically traded partnerships, and sales of passive foreign investment companies. The permanent differences that are credited or charged to Paid In Capital and distributable earnings are primarily related to redemptions in kind and net operating losses and have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021:

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 partnership adjustments.
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds may invest in companies focused on business activities in emerging economic themes. Such thematic companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. Thematic companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. These companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, capital expenditures and mergers and acquisitions, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will be successful. These companies are also frequently dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. There can be no assurance these companies will be able to successfully protect their intellectual property to prevent the misappropriation of their technology, or that competitors will not develop technology that is substantially similar or superior to such companies’ technology. Such companies may be potential targets for cyberattacks, which can have a materially adverse impact on the performance of these companies. The emergent nature of many economic themes could result in increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may impede the growth of companies that develop and/or focus on such economic themes. Similarly, the collection of data from consumers and other sources is frequently a critical component in emerging economic themes and could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used. Finally, these companies may be involved in young, fast evolving industries with increased exposure to the risks associated with changes in applicable laws (including regulation, other rule changes, and related federal and state enforcement activities), as well as market developments, which may cause businesses to contract or close suddenly and negatively impact the value of these companies.
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 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

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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 the 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 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.
On June 3, 2021, President Biden expanded upon the previously issued executive order that prohibited U.S. persons from transacting in publicly traded securities designated by the U.S. Department of Defense as “Communist Chinese Military Companies” or “CCMCs” or in instruments that are derivative of, or are designed to provide investment exposure to, prohibited CCMC securities. President Biden’s Executive Order retains the structure of the investment-based CCMC sanctions program introduced in late 2020 but expands the prohibitions to address threats from the use of Chinese surveillance technology outside the People’s Republic of China and the development or use of Chinese surveillance technology to facilitate repression or serious human rights abuse (the “Executive Order”).
Under the Executive Order, U.S. persons will be prohibited from engaging in the purchase or sale of publicly traded securities, as well as securities derivative of, or designed to provide investment exposure to, such securities. This prohibition took effect on August 2, 2021 for entities listed in the Appendix to the Executive Order (and 60 days after designation, with respect to subsequently designated entities). In addition, U.S. persons will be required to divest of targeted securities of entities listed in the Appendix to the Executive Order by June 3, 2022 (or 365 days from designation, with respect to subsequently designated entities).
The Executive Order replaces the previous list of CCMCs with a new Non-SDN Chinese Military Industrial Complex Companies List. The U.S. Department of the Treasury, rather than the U.S. Department of Defense, will drive designations going forward.

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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. Each Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the underlying index in approximately the same proportions as in the underlying index. The Funds may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to their underlying indices when a replication strategy might be detrimental to their shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its underlying index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the underlying index become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to the Funds but not to the underlying indexes).
Commodity related securities are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a substantial impact on these Funds.
The elimination of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) may adversely affect the interest rates on, and value of, certain Fund investments for which the value is tied to LIBOR. The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it intends to stop compelling or inducing banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the administrator of LIBOR clarified that the publication of LIBOR on a representative basis will cease for the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after December 31, 2021, and for the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023. Alternatives to LIBOR are established or in development in most major currencies, including the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is intended to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR. Markets are slowly developing in response to these new rates. Questions around liquidity impacted by these rates, and how to appropriately adjust these rates at the time of transition, remain a concern for the Funds. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Funds until new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products, instruments and contracts are commercially accepted.
A more complete description of risks is included in each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

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 Depository 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 to 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 value of the securities loans were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower failed to return the securities. In the event the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due, the security 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.

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. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior gains or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees of the Trust and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.
9. REGULATORY MATTERS
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices, Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with the adoption of Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with Rule 2a-5 and the other requirements by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 7, 2021, the Custodian announced that it had entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) to sell BBH’s Investor Services business to State Street (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory and customary approvals, and it is expected to be consummated in the first quarter of 2022 (the “Closing Date”). Consequently, as a result of the Transaction, it is expected that State Street will replace BBH as the Funds’ custodian effective as of the Closing Date.
The Funds have been evaluated by management regarding the need for additional disclosures (other than what is disclosed in the preceding paragraph) and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional adjustments were required to the financial statements.

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 November 30, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when

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, 2021 to November 30, 2021).
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Funds, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Funds under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the 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 Global X Funds (the “Trust”) held by videoconference on May 21, 20211 (the “New Fund Board Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees, voting separately) considered and unanimously approved (i) the initial Investment Advisory Agreement (“New Investment Advisory Agreement”) for the Global X Blockchain ETF, the Global X AgTech & Food Innovation ETF, the Global X Hydrogen ETF, the Global X Solar ETF and the Global X Wind Energy ETF (each a “New Fund,” and referred to collectively as the “New Funds”) and (ii) the initial Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust (“New Supervision and Administration Agreement”), on behalf of the New Funds, and Global X Management Company LLC (“Global X Management”). The New Advisory Agreement and New Supervision and Administration Agreement are referred to collectively as the “New Fund Agreements.”
At a Board meeting of the Trust held via videoconference November 12, 20211, called for such purpose, the Board (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees, voting separately) also 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”); (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreements between the Trust (“Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreements”), on behalf of each Renewal Fund, and Global X Management. The Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement and the Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreements are referred to herein as the “Renewal Agreements.”
NEW FUND AGREEMENTS
In determining to approve the New Fund Agreements for the New Funds, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the factors discussed in greater detail below.

1
In advance of the Board meetings, 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 the New Fund 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 and New Fund 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.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
 
     


Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
the terms of the New Fund Agreements and the range of services proposed to be provided to the New Funds in accordance with the New Fund Agreements;

Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to the New Funds;

Global X Management’s responsibilities under the New Fund Agreements to, among other things, (i) manage the investment operations of the New Funds and the composition of the New Funds’ assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of its 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 appertaining to securities and assets held by the New Funds, (iv) select broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the New Funds when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of the New Funds, and the periodic updating of the registration statements, prospectuses, statements of additional information, and other reports and documents for the New Funds that are required to be filed by the Trust with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulatory or governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including Creation Units) of the New Funds by shareholders and new investors;

the nature, extent and quality of all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that are proposed to be provided by Global X Management or made available to the New Funds; and

the quality of Global X Management’s resources and personnel that would be made available to the New 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, at the New Fund Board Meeting, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the New Funds by Global X Management.
Performance
The Board determined that, because the New Funds had not yet begun investment operations as of the dates of the New Fund Board Meeting, meaningful data relating to




247

 
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
 
     


the investment performance of the New Funds was not available and, therefore, could not be a factor in approving the New Fund Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
Global X Management’s expected costs to provide investment management, supervision and administrative and related services to each New Fund;

the management fee (including the proposed investment advisory fee) (“Management Fee”) that was proposed to be borne by each New Fund under the respective New Fund Agreement for the various investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that the New 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 New Funds); and

the expected profitability to Global X Management, if any, from all of the services proposed to be provided to the New Funds by Global X Management and all aspects of the relationship between Global X Management and the New Funds.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the proposed Management Fee to be paid by each New Fund to Global X Management, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided, was reasonable and in the best interests of the New Fund’s shareholders.
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
comparative information with respect to the proposed Management Fee to be paid to Global X Management by each New Fund. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with comparative expense data for each New Fund, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated similar specialized and/or focused ETFs, and/or other similar registered funds. The Board considered Global X Management’s detailed explanation of the proposed fee structures of any New Fund that was above the average or median for the New Fund’s peer group;

the structure of the proposed unitary Management Fee (which includes as one component the proposed investment advisory fee for the New Funds) and the expected total expense ratios for the New Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the New Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of






248

 
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
 
     


 
predictability with respect to the overall expense ratios (i.e., the total fees) of the New Funds and that the proposed Management Fee for each New Fund was set at a competitive level to make the New Fund viable in the marketplace; and

that, under the proposed unified Management Fee structure, Global X Management would be responsible for most ordinary expenses of the New Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the New Funds, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that each New Fund 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, at the New Fund Board Meeting, that the services to be received and the fees to be charged under the applicable New Fund 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 New Funds grow and whether the proposed unitary Management Fees for the New Funds reflected these economies of scale;

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

that the proposed unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for each New Fund and its shareholders.

Based on these considerations, the Board concluded, at the New Fund Board Meeting, that the proposed unitary Management Fees for the New Funds appropriately addressed economies of scale.
Other Benefits
In considering each New Fund Agreement, in addition to the factors discussed above, the Board considered other benefits that may be realized by Global X Management as a result of its relationships with the New Funds. As a result, the Board concluded that, in the case of each New Fund, in the exercise of the Board’s business judgement, all information the Board considered supported approval of the applicable New Fund Agreements.





249

 
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
 
     


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

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;







250

 
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
 
     


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
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





251

 
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued)
 
     


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.

Supplemental Information (unaudited)
 
     



Net asset value, or “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 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.
