Global X MSCI China Energy ETF

The Global X MSCI China Energy ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Energy IMI Plus 10/50 Index (“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 equity performance of the investable universe of companies in the Energy sector of the Chinese economy, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. It is comprised of securities of companies that have their main business operations in the Energy sector and generally includes companies whose businesses involve: oil, gas, consumable fuels, alternative energy and electricity production and distribution, and energy equipment and services.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 22.05%, while the Underlying Index decreased 21.33%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.43 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $7.79 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from COSCO SHIPPING Energy Transportation and Shaanxi Coal Industry, which returned 17.56% and 14.65%, respectively. The worst performers were China LNG Group and Honghua Group, which returned -68.56% and -59.14%, respectively.

During the reporting period, China imposed strict lockdown measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing many industries to a standstill. As economic activities experienced a 10% quarter-over-quarter contraction in the first quarter of 2020, demand for energy decreased significantly. Electricity demand dropped quickly in the first quarter of 2020 due to a decline in power demand but recovered completely by June, resulting in a demand recovery for electricity plant fuels. Continued expectations for lower oil prices also hurt certain Energy firms in the oil & gas segment. As a net importer of oil, China’s demand for oil gas has seen a strong recovery in the second half of 2020, with lower oil prices and China’s economic recovery from COVID-19 lockdowns resulting in a pick-up in domestic oil demand. As a result, China imported almost 13% of total global oil supplies from April to September. Although China remains a net importer of gas, the country continues is producing more liquified natural gas, potentially helping to offset some of the longer-term reliance on foreign oil producers.

Global X MSCI China Materials ETF

The Global X MSCI China Materials ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Materials 10/50 Index (“Underlying Index”).  The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to measure the equity performance of the investable universe of companies in the Materials sector of the Chinese economy, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. It is comprised of securities of companies that have their main business operations in the Materials sector and generally includes companies whose businesses involve: chemicals, metals and mining, and forestry and paper products.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 29.88%, while the Underlying Index increased 30.96%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.50 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $18.18 per share on October 31, 2020.

The worst performers were China Zhongwang Holdings and Beijing SJ Environmental Protection and New Material, which returned -54.71% and -40.27%, respectively.

During the reporting period, COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented damage to the global economy, leading to widespread business closures, while disrupting factory production, global supply chains, and consumer demand. Significant disruptions in supply chains and a collapse of international trade had a severe impact on China’s Materials sector in the early months of the pandemic. Although industrial output suffered a severe contraction in the first quarter of 2020, it ultimately managed to rebound. Growth in exports and automobile and retail sales in China during the latter half of the year contributed significantly to the recovery of the Materials sector. China’s building materials segment also contributed, with its value-added output improving during the first three quarters of 2020. Despite the global slowdown, imports of unwrought copper and iron ore were strong as of October 2020.

The Global X MSCI China Industrials ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Industrials 10/50 Index (“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 equity performance of the investable universe of companies in the Industrials sector of the Chinese economy, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 5.57%, while the Underlying Index increased 6.41%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.92 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.43 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Contemporary Amperex Technology and Shenzhen Inovance Technology, which returned 278.28% and 171.55%, respectively. The worst performers were BEST, Inc and CITIC, which returned -55.23% and -42.87%, respectively.

During the reporting period, strict lockdowns imposed by China’s government to combat the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily paralyzed major swathes of the economy. As a result, the economy contracted 10% quarter-over-quarter in the first quarter of 2020. Worldwide lockdowns and the plummeting of international trade had a significant negative impact on China’s Industrials sector, resulting in a contraction in the first quarter of 2020. However, it improved gradually in the following months and recorded modest growth as lockdowns eased, workers returned to their jobs, and global trade recovered. Manufacturing output contributed significantly to this recovery. A rise in consumer confidence and a gradual recovery in retail sales, automobile sales, and exports further strengthened the recovery. As the economy recovered, industrial giants saw profit growth for the fourth straight month in August. While the automobiles and electronics industries recorded significant recoveries in profits, profit declines in the mining and raw materials industries continued to persist with weak global demand.

Years of wage growth and urbanization have substantially increased the consumption habits of millions of Chinese citizens. Improving the consumption component is vital, as maintaining higher economic growth primarily on exports and investment has become more difficult for China amid rising trade tensions and reduced labor competitiveness. The government had taken a series of measures to adjust the growth model of the Chinese economy from an export-led economy to a consumption-oriented one. Promoting consumer-focused areas like e-commerce, automobiles, education, and tourism, have helped achieve these goals. However, such efforts suffered a major blow during the reporting period when the economy came to a halt due to strict lockdown measures imposed to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. The economy contracted 10% quarter-over-quarter in the first quarter of 2020, recording the first contraction since 1992. It gained momentum in the second and third quarters and grew 11.7% and 2.7% quarter-over-quarter, respectively, as lockdown measures were effective at containing the virus and allowed workers to return to their jobs. Retail sales, since plummeting early in the year, continued to recover gradually alongside rising consumer confidence.

The Fund had a net asset value of $21.08 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $29.04 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Shanxi Xinghuacun Fen Wine Factory and Tongwei, which returned 167.33% and 156.96%, respectively. The worst performers were Wen’s Foodstuff Group and Tech-bank Food, which returned -38.36% and -22.56%, respectively.

China’s economy is in a transition phase as wages continue to rise and the middle class expands. This transformation has led to a substantial increase in domestic demand for basic consumer goods, which in turn has contributed to the expansion of the Consumer Staples sector. The momentum in consumer expenditure has been a key component in supporting economic growth in China. Amid the economic slowdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic and trade conflicts with the U.S., China has depended heavily on domestic consumption to stabilize the economy during a weak environment. Further supporting consumption in China has been the country’s aggressive curbs to the spread of COVID-19. Early and aggressive lockdowns allowed workers to return to their jobs faster, avoiding lost wages and contributing to consumption growth. For example, despite the pandemic, industrial output rose 6.9% in October from a year earlier and consumer confidence increased to 120.50 points in September from 116.40 points in August, showing signs of strengthening consumerism.

An aging population, alongside trends in rising wages and living standards, and broader access to health care have been key to the modernization of China’s Health Care sector. These secular trends combined with the sheer size of China’s population have created substantial growth opportunities for private companies in the Health Care space. Beyond just China’s domestic health care market, China plays an important role in the global healthcare industry. Chinese firms manufacture about 40% of active pharmaceutical ingredients used worldwide and export a significant volume of medical supplies all over the world. The government of China, with a key focus on the healthcare industry, has announced a number of reforms to strengthen the healthcare system in the country. The China Healthcare Report 2020 outlines major investments in research and development (R&D) as well as innovation and rapid growth of the biopharmaceutical industry. These efforts are expected to continue to grow the sector’s strong momentum.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread economic issues, which have impacted Financials around the world. China’s Financials sector has not been immune as lockdowns and reduced economic activity locally and around the world, have put pressure on debtors in China. Beijing made decisive and proactive efforts to contain the spread on the virus and stabilize the economy. Yet the pandemic has still negatively impacted banks’ asset quality. Smaller banks are experiencing a deterioration in asset quality and a sharp rise in credit risks, while large state-owned commercial banks are generally in better shape, as they have sufficient capital buffers. Small and medium-sized banks are more vulnerable, as these institutions account for a much larger share of the loans to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Joint stock banks, urban commercial banks, and rural commercial banks comprise 70% of SME loans, while large commercial banks account for only 30% of SME loans. The pandemic has mostly affected SME borrowers, with a quick deterioration in the quality of their loans. The industry-wide non-performing loan (NPL) ratio for banks accelerated to over 2% in the first quarter of 2020. Despite these recent challenges, China has continued to open its Financials sector to a more global audience and the banking sector has significantly increased its focus on digital transformation to remain competitive and increase profitability.

During the reporting period, China’s technology giants saw their businesses thrive despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Strict lockdowns forced people to rely more on digital services rather than physical, in-person experiences. The government encouraged domestic consumption in the low-mobility environment by promoting the use of digital technologies such as e-commerce, cloud computing, 5G, and gaming. Industrial output of information transmission, software and IT service industry grew in the first six months of 2020. Beyond the pandemic, increased support for the domestic technology industry has led to numerous projects to implement digitalization across the economy. New infrastructure developments, such as the construction of 5G towers, is expected to provide further support for the sector’s growth.

The worst performers were Momo Inc Sponsored ADR Class A and China Unicom (Hong Kong) Limited, which returned -53.77% and -35.82%, respectively.

Rapid urbanization and the emerging middle class have driven the surge in demand for communications services in China. China’s communications industry saw steady growth in the first half of this year, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, given that more people become increasingly reliant on digital and virtual platforms to stay connected from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The combined revenue of the sector rose 3.2% year-over-year, reaching 692.7 billion yuan in the first half of 2020. Revenue from the data and internet business saw stable growth, and the number of fixed broadband internet users increased steadily, signaling prospects of an advancing digital economy. China is home to the world’s largest telecommunications market with about 1.6 billion subscribers. China’s aim to become a pioneer in 5G technology has so far been successful domestically, despite western governments’ reservation towards using Chinese 5G technology.

During the reporting period, strict lockdowns imposed by China’s government to combat the COVID-19 pandemic hindered economic activities across the country. Worldwide lockdowns also triggered a collapse in international trade, which in turn led to a sharp fall in electricity demand by manufacturers and businesses in China. Industrial activities account for more than 65% of national power demand. However, during China’s lockdown period, residential electricity demand and electricity demand from the telecom and internet sectors recorded a significant increase, mildly offsetting the lost industrial demand. As the economy recovered gradually in the second quarter of 2020, demand for power rose 3.9% quarter-over-quarter. One bright spot in the Energy sector is renewable energy production, which rose to 33% of total electric power in September from 23% in January, while the share of coal power generation fell to 60% in September 2020 from 69% in January.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant negative impact on China’s real estate sector in the first quarter of 2020, with every core performance metric plunging into negative territory across both realty and construction. The housing segment suffered in particularly, with a sharp fall in sales volumes; even house and rental prices experienced a decline. Big cities suffered major challenges as well; residential mass market sales by square meterage in Beijing plummeted and transaction volumes also slumped during the first quarter in 2020. However, the sector managed to bounce back, owing to cheaper credit and incremental policy easing. Property sales by floor area grew gradually in August, September and October 2020 as the economy began to find even footing. Property investment also expanded sharply in September and October 2020. The regulators, however, remain concerned about high property prices in China amid cheaper credit to support the coronavirus-stricken economy. Regulators have taken a series of measures to control property prices and cut the availability of mortgage loans to spur household spending instead of repaying debt to stimulate the economy.

China suffered a major economic downturn in the first quarter of 2020 as strict lockdown measures to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted economic activities, including industrial operations and consumption. The economy recorded its first contraction since 1992, when it suffered a 10% contraction quarter-over-quarter in the first quarter of 2020. The export-led economy suffered further due to global lockdowns and major disruptions to international trade. However, the government initiated a series of measures to get the economy back on track. These included increased policy support, on both fiscal and monetary fronts. While the government took measures to stimulate the economy and spur consumption with increased expenditure, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) laid out a number of monetary-easing measures, including cuts in lending rates and banks’ reserve requirement ratios (RRR). The economy responded and grew 11.7% and 2.7% quarter-over-quarter in the second and third quarters of 2020, respectively. As consumer confidence improved from 116.40 points in August to 120.50 points in September, retail sales also improved during August and September. In addition, exports saw a gradual growth, while industrial output increased in October 2020. Large firms in China immensely benefitted from the stimulus measures and the quick economic revival, while many other countries lagged behind as they struggled to contain the virus.

Global X MSCI Greece ETF

The Global X MSCI Greece ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Greece Select 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Greece equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 39.39%, while the Underlying Index decreased 39.11%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.97 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.68 per share on October 31, 2020, following a 1:3 reverse share split on April 28, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Terna Energy S.A. and Public Power Corporation S.A., which returned 69.68% and 58.10%, respectively. The worst performers were GasLog Ltd and GasLog Partners LP, which returned -80.65% and -80.20%, respectively.

The Greek government acted swiftly in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and imposed a strict lockdown in March that largely contained the spread of the first wave of the virus in Europe. Economic contraction, however, was inevitable. Growth came to a halt when the economy contracted -0.5% and -15.2% year-over-year in the first and second quarters, respectively. Lockdown measures had a negative impact on business activity, and global travel restrictions adversely affected the tourism-dependent economy. Tourism revenue in the peak months of July and August plummeted over -75% in comparison to 2019’s figures. This year’s services exports, which include receipts from tourism, contracted -48.3% in the second quarter. Industrial production also took a substantial hit in the early stages of the pandemic, but began to show signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2020. The Greek government announced a tax relief package and additional stimulus in September to boost jobs and the economy. The European Economic Recovery Plan, agreed on by European Union leaders, is also likely to bolster economic growth in the future.

Global X MSCI Norway ETF

The Global X MSCI Norway ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Norway IMI 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The  Underlying  Index  is  designed  to represent  the  performance  of  the  broad  Norway  equity  universe,  as  defined  by  MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index may include large-, mid- or small-capitalization companies.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 16.32%, while the Underlying Index decreased 16.13%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.69 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.59 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from NEL ASA and Europris ASA, which returned 119.02% and 100.50%, respectively. The worst performers were Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA and Borr Drilling Limited, which returned -98.70% and -90.85%, respectively.

Norway’s economy, like many other economies, plunged into recession in the first half of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown measures taken to combat the pandemic brought many industries to a standstill. As a result, economic growth plummeted -1.7% and -5.1% quarter over quarter in the first and second quarters of 2020, respectively. Unemployment rose from a pre-pandemic level of 3.7% in February to 6.7% by the end of October. The Norwegian government’s quarterly public spending exceeded its overall income for the first time in 25 years in the second quarter of 2020. This was mainly due to a sharp fall in tax revenue and the low price of crude oil. Private consumption tumbled -4.3% and -10.8% in the first and second quarters, respectively, mainly due to a contraction in household spending on the food, transport and recreation sectors. Despite its severe economic decline, Norway is facing a milder recession than most of Europe, as early and swift government measures helped control the spread of the virus.

Global X DAX Germany ETF

The Global X DAX Germany ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the DAX^® 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 segment of the largest and most actively traded companies - known as blue chips - on the German equities market. The Underlying Index contains the shares of among the 30 largest German companies in terms of liquidity and free-float market capitalization admitted to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the Prime Standard segment. Liquidity is defined as book order volume, which is the sum of the daily turnover over the prior 12-month period. The Prime Standard segment is a market segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange which includes companies with higher transparency and reporting standards than those of the General Standard, which is the minimum reporting standard currently required by European Union regulation. The 30 stocks contained in the Index generally represent about 80% of the market capitalization listed in Germany.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased by 6.53%, while the Underlying Index decreased by 6.22%. The Fund had a net asset value of $27.28 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.21 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Infineon Technologies AG and Deutsche Post AG, which returned 45.43% and 28.86% respectively. The worst performers were Wirecard AG and Bayer AG, which returned -98.83% and -36.67%, respectively.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led Germany into recession, and the economy is expected to experience the largest slump since World War II. The economy contracted -2.2%  and -10.1% quarter on quarter in the first quarter and the second quarter of 2020, respectively, recording the largest declines since quarterly gross domestic product calculations for Germany were first recorded in 1970. As a leading exporter of manufactured goods, Germany was affected severely by disruptions to international trade caused by the COVID-19 health crisis. Exports and imports of goods and services as well as household expenditure and capital formation in machinery and equipment recorded large slumps. The government, however, raised its expenditure during the crisis to support the economy. Gross domestic product recoved and grew 8.2% quarter-over-quarter in the third quarter of 2020.

Global X MSCI Portugal ETF

The Global X MSCI Portugal ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Portugal Plus 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Portugal equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 18.37%, while the Underlying Index decreased 18.33%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.71 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $8.50 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Banco Espirito Santo SA and EDP Renovaveis SA, which returned 300.00% and 67.99%, respectively. The worst performers were Banco Comercial Portugues SA and Ramada Investimentos e Industria, SA, which returned -61.22% and -50.15%, respectively.

Portugal was one of the most affected countries on the European continent to be hit by the COVID-19 pandemic because of its heavy reliance on exports and tourism, both of which tumbled during the pandemic. Domestic demand tumbled by -10.60% and exports plunged -36.10%, while imports slumped by -28.10% in the second quarter of 2020. To tackle the crisis, the government announced a €3 billion package to provide loans to companies and other measures, such as easing layoff legislation and suspending mortgage payments, to help firms and families. As a result, domestic demand, exports and imports all showed signs of a recovery in third quarter of 2020, although gross domestic product shrank 5.80% year-on-year extending the recession for the third straight quarter. These broad economic challenges led to the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period.

Global X MSCI Colombia ETF

The Global X MSCI Colombia ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Colombia Select 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Colombia equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 36.91%, while the Underlying Index decreased 37.08%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.54 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.26 per share on October 31, 2020, following a 1:4 reverse share split on April 28, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from GRUPO ENERGIA BOGOTA S.A. E.S.P and Interconexion Electrica SA ESP, which returned 2.65% and -3.22%, respectively. The worst performers were Avianca Holdings SA Pfd and Grupo de Inversiones Suramericana SA Pfd, which returned -96.93% and -51.15%, respectively.

Colombia’s gross domestic product grew 1.1% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2020, but the economy contracted on a quarter-over-quarter basis from the fourth quarter of 2019. The economy showed signs of a slowdown in the first quarter of 2020 when the construction, entertainment and recreation, and mining sectors contracted -9.2%, -3.2% and -3.0% year-over-year, respectively, despite 6.8% and 2.6% year-over-year growth in agricultural and real estate activities, respectively. As the pandemic led to a deterioration in economic activities around the world, Colombia’s second-quarter gross domestic product plummeted -15.7% year-over-year. Government lockdown measures led to the shutdown of businesses and a significant increase in unemployment. While private consumption plummeted -15.9% year-over-year, fixed investment contracted significantly by -32.2% year-over-year. Construction and manufacturing activities further contracted -31.7% and -25.4%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2020. The government responded promptly and announced a fiscal package to stimulate the economy. The government also announced further assistance by providing special lines of credit and loan guarantees for firms severely affected by the pandemic. In addition, the central bank slashed the intervention rate by 2.5% between March and September, its lowest historical level. The central bank also introduced a range of measures to increase liquidity to buffer the economic downturn. Despite these efforts to stimulate economic growth, the challenging backdrop led to negative performance during the reporting period for Colombian equities.

Global X MSCI Argentina ETF

The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Argentina 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 8.61%, while the Underlying Index increased 9.03%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.83 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.64 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from MercadoLibre, Inc. and Globant SA, which returned 132.79% and 93.66%, respectively. The worst performers were Phoenix Global Resources plc and YPF SA Sponsored ADR Class D, which returned -67.55% and -65.60%, respectively.

Argentina experienced its most severe economic contraction in 16 years, and the country entered a third year of recession, with the economy shrinking -4.6% and -19.8% year-over-year in the first and second quarters, respectively. As the country’s longstanding economic crisis deepened, the unemployment rate rose to 13.1% and the poverty rate expanded to 40.9% in the second quarter of 2020, a significant increase from 35.5% in the second half of 2019. Domestic demand plummeted -8.2% and -23.1% year-over-year in the first and second quarters, respectively, driven by lockdown measures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and low consumer confidence. Private consumption tumbled -6.3% and -22.3% year-over-year in the first and second quarters, respectively, amid elevated economic uncertainty. Fixed investment also fell a sharp -18.3% and -38.4% year-over-year over the first and second quarters, due to business closures and a contraction in investment in construction and machinery equipment. However, the Argentine government managed to restructure USD $65 billion worth of foreign debt in September. This created crucial fiscal breathing space with foreign creditors, despite the bumpy fiscal road ahead. In addition, the existing negative sentiment heading into 2020 meant that the economic challenges this year were less shocking to the market, already somewhat being priced-in. Therefore despite the aforementioned economic challenges, equity prices still increased over the reporting period.

Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF

The Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Pakistan Select 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The broad Pakistan equity universe includes securities that are classified in Pakistan according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Pakistan and carry out the majority of their operations in Pakistan.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.99%, while the Underlying Index increased 8.64%. The Fund had a net asset value of $6.58 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $27.40 per share on October 31, 2020, following a 1:4 reverse share split on April 28, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Maple Leaf Cement Factory Ltd and Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Ltd, which returned 153.04% and 130.10% respectively. The worst performers were Pakistan Petroleum Limited and Oil & Gas Development Co. Ltd, which returned -29.25% and -25.05%, respectively.

Pakistan entered 2020 coming off a relatively slow growth rate of 1.9% in 2019, due to monetary and fiscal tightening implemented to control the country’s high current account and fiscal deficits. In the second quarter of 2020, a series of actions were taken to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, including partial lockdowns, restrictions on air travel, and the closure of non-essential businesses. Although these restrictions were gradually removed, disruptions to domestic demand and supply were inevitable, as households reduced consumption and businesses were unable to operate. Surging food inflation, rising energy prices, and a weaker rupee caused consumer price inflation (CPI) to rise from an average of 6.8% in fiscal year 2019 to an average of 10.7% in fiscal year 2020. The central bank’s policy rate was subsequently lowered to 7% in June from 13.25% in March to help stimulate growth. The central bank also implemented multiple measures to provide liquidity support to firms. While total exports contracted -7.5% amid weak global demand, imports were down -19.3%. This helped narrow the current account deficit from 4.8% of gross domestic product in fiscal year 2019 to 1.1% of gross domestic product in fiscal year 2020. Despite the global economic slowdown, remittances continued to increase and recorded over $2 billion for the fourth consecutive month as of September 2020.

Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF

The Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Nigeria Select 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Nigeria equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 17.25%, while the Underlying Index increased 19.96%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.23 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.25 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Flour Mills Nigeria Plc and FCMB Group Plc, which returned 100.10% and 98.54%, respectively. The worst performers were Unilever Nigeria PLC and Oando PLC, which returned -51.18% and -32.83%, respectively.

Nigeria managed to largely avoid the global economic slowdown that was felt by many countries around the world in the first quarter of 2020. The economy grew by 1.9% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2020, supported by growth in both oil and non-oil segments. The domestic oil industry recorded a real growth rate of 5.1% year-over-year, while the non-oil portions of the economy reported a real growth rate of 1.6% in the first quarter of 2020. The Information Technology, Financials and agricultural industries were major contributors to growth. Nigeria felt the impact of the pandemic in the second quarter of 2020 when its economy contracted 6.1% year-over-year. In the second quarter, both the oil and non-oil segments experienced sizeable contractions of -6.6% and -6.1% year-over-year, respectively. Extremely low oil prices globally and a fall in average daily oil production - due to low domestic and international demand - were especially challenging, as the country depends mainly on oil sales for government revenue and foreign exchange.

Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF

The Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Select Emerging and Frontier Markets Access Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to reflect equity performance of next emerging markets and frontier markets companies, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. Next Emerging markets are defined as emerging market countries, excluding the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and excluding the most developed tier of emerging markets (South Korea and Taiwan). Frontier markets are those emerging market countries that generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 15.85%, while the Underlying Index decreased 15.16%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.09 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $16.46 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hoa Phat Group JSC and Dino Polska S.A., which returned 71.54% and 52.50%, respectively. The worst performers were Redefine Properties and Alpha Bank AE, which returned -76.95% and   -71.04%, respectively.

The COVID-19 pandemic during the reporting period brought the global economy to a standstill, as lockdown measures adopted to slow the spread of the coronavirus brought several businesses to a grinding halt. Like their developed market peers, many emerging and frontier markets suffered. External forces, like disrupted supply chains, collapsing international trade, and weakened global demand, played major roles. But internal challenges impacted developing economies as well, including feeble domestic demand, shuttered industrial output, and overrun public health care systems. As a result, many firms in these markets came under pressure. The volume of merchandise trade shrank 14.3% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter of 2020. The types of goods exported have been an important determinant of growth during the pandemic. Countries with a large share of technology-related exports have seen a quicker rebound in exports, while those relying heavily on energy or metals exports have endured lower prices and demand. Economic activities in the developed world also significantly influence low- and middle-income countries. Obtaining additional financing can be difficult for these countries, especially if investors are convinced debt levels are no longer sustainable. As a result, fiscal stimulus as a percentage of gross domestic product in these economies has been significantly smaller compared to advanced economies. However, the International

Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and other multilateral institutions have stepped in to provide emergency financing, and has strengthened access to financing for emerging markets.

Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF

The Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Nordic 30 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is designed to reflect the equity market performance of companies in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, as defined by FTSE International Limited (“FTSE”), the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”). The starting universe of the Underlying Index is the FTSE All-World Index - Nordic Region. The Underlying Index tracks the equity performance of among the 30 largest and most liquid companies in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. The Fund’s investment objective and Underlying Index may be changed without shareholder approval.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 13.70%, while the Underlying Index increased 13.74%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.69 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.37 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Vestas Wind Systems A/S and Orsted, which returned 111.88% and 83.51%, respectively. The worst performers were Equinor ASA and DNB ASA, which returned -27.77% and -26.02%, respectively.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on Nordic countries broadly as their economies contended with continued fallout from the health crisis. Yet at the same time, increases in government spending and their largely services-based economies that could continue remotely during lockdown orders helped protect the economies versus others in Europe. Norway’s economy showed signs of a recovery following a 1.5% cut in interest rates. Denmark suffered a -7.4% decline in gross domestic product during the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2020. The Finnish economy showed unexpected resilience and recorded only a -4.5% quarter-over- quarter contraction in the second quarter, which was one of the smallest declines in the euro area. Sweden’s gross domestic product contracted by -8.3% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter, which was the worst contraction in the Nordic region during the reporting period. Sweden had among the laxest policies implemented to contain the virus. Although Swedish domestic economy showed some resilience, Swedish exports were negatively affected. In addition, Swedish households’ real disposable income decreased by 7.7% quarter-over-quarter during the second quarter of 2020. Despite weakness in Sweden, the relative strength of Nordic economies amid the pandemic led to positive equity returns over the reporting period.

Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF

The Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE ASEAN 40 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 equity performance of the 40 largest and most liquid companies in five of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) nations: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 24.82%, while the Underlying Index decreased 24.37%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.95 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.66 per share on October 31, 2020.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Wilmar International Limited and Sime Darby Plantation Bhd, which returned 11.00% and -0.66%, respectively. The worst performers were PTT Global Chemical Plc NVDR and Kasikornbank Public Co. Ltd. NVDR, which returned -48.28% and -44.40%, respectively.

Southeast Asian economies experienced a steep economic contraction during the reporting period as the COVID-19 pandemic weighed on the region’s services sector and hampered export demand. Indonesia’s economy was hit by external and domestic demand shocks. Thailand’s economy suffered amid a drought in tourism, exports, and domestic activity. Thailand also experienced a contraction in household spending and fixed investment during the first half of 2020. The Philippines also entered into a recession as a result of the pandemic. The Philippine economy contracted in the third quarter as sharp declines in industry, services, household consumption, exports and gross capital formation presented headwinds. Similarly, Singapore’s economy suffered significantly during the first half of 2020 due to a collapse of economic activities. The construction and services sectors suffered the biggest decline in 2020. However, Singapore’s economy expanded 7.9% in the third quarter on a quarter-on-quarter basis, mainly due to a phased re-opening of the economy. The difficult economic situation for a previously fast-growing region hurt equity prices significantly during the reporting period.
