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

 

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 16.86%, while the Underlying Index increased 17.64%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.93 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.64 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from COSCO SHIPPING Energy Transportation Co., Ltd and Yankuang Energy Group Company Limited, which returned 150.02% and 109.90%, respectively. The worst performers were China Suntien Green Energy Corporation Limited and Yantai Jereh Oilfield Services Group Co., Ltd, which returned -43.34% and -37.36%, respectively.

The Fund generated positive returns during the reporting period, performing well due to continued elevated oil prices and increasing criticality of energy security. Coal stocks also delivered high returns during the reporting period, contributing to the Fund's positive performance. During the period, energy security was the primary concern for Chinese policymakers, resulting in an unusually high approval of coal-based power projects by the Chinese government. The demand for coal continued to edge higher as China has prioritized economic stability after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The urgent need for energy security is the main reason for high returns throughout the reporting period.

*Fund commenced operations on December 15, 2009.

** Reflects performance of Solactive China Energy Total Return Index through December 5, 2018 and MSCI China Energy IMI Plus 10/50 Index thereafter.

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

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, it may be worth less than its original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike the Fund's returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

Performance figures for the periods shown may reflect contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements (if applicable), returns would have been lower.

There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.

The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares.

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 41.03%, while the Underlying Index decreased 40.63%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.22 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.60 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hangzhou Oxygen Plant Group Co., Ltd and Zhaojin Mining Industry Co., Ltd, which returned 45.76% and 38.28%, respectively. The worst performers were Huabao International Holdings Limited and Zhejiang Yongtai Technology Co., Ltd, which returned -71.38% and -69.53%, respectively.

The Fund generated negative returns during the reporting period, mostly attributable to COVID-19-influenced lockdowns in China and continued difficulties in the Property sector. The lockdown imposed in Shanghai between the beginning of April and the beginning of June hurt global supply chains as trucks faced obstacles in transporting materials and goods in and out of Shanghai. In addition to difficulties meeting international demand, China had trouble meeting its own growing domestic demand. A slowdown in China’s property market had a negative effect on the Fund’s holdings, many of which were engaged in the supply of construction materials. Notwithstanding opportunities for higher pay, China’s ongoing labor shortage was exacerbated as young people were reluctant to work in factories, further contributing to the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period.

Global X MSCI China Industrials ETF

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 33.68%, while the Underlying Index decreased 33.28%. The Fund had a net asset value of $16.62 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $10.93 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Jiangsu Zhongtian Technology Co., Ltd and Ningbo Deye Technology Co., Ltd, which returned 91.38% and 46.27%, respectively. The worst performers were DiDi Global Inc. and Zhejiang Chint Electrics Co., Ltd, which returned -75.84% and -62.65%, respectively.

The Fund generated negative returns over the reporting period, mainly attributable to rigid COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions and a worsening Property sector downturn in China, which continued to have a serious effect on factory activity, as more industrial firms with high costs and declining profits faced operational difficulties. Rising investor concerns about the Chinese economy's pullback added further pressure to companies already struggling with low demand and high costs due to higher oil prices and a weaker Chinese yuan. Manufacturers who focus on exports also felt the effects of decreasing global demand during the reporting period. Additionally, unexpected factors such as a heatwave and power crunch also hampered the Industrials sector. However, economic growth picked up toward the end of the reporting period due to favorable government measures, such as tax deferrals, lending rate cuts, and funding largely focused on infrastructure spending, mitigating the Fund’s losses.

Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF

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

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 51.28%, while the Underlying Index decreased 51.03%. The Fund had a net asset value of $29.94 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.55 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from New Oriental Education & Technology Group, Inc. and Navinfo Co., Ltd, which returned 71.22% and 35.33%, respectively. The worst performers were XPeng, Inc. and Great Wall Motor Co., Ltd, which returned -85.80% and -75.58%, respectively.

The Fund registered negative growth during the reporting period, as a stiff regulatory environment and strict COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions in China both adversely affected the Consumer Discretionary sector. Lockdowns in major cities and travel restrictions, together with high joblessness among young people and uncertain economic outlook, made consumers drift away from discretionary products and focus more on necessities, which translated into weaker revenues for many of the holdings in the Fund. A COVID-19 pandemic-related lockdown in Shanghai in early 2022 had a particularly damaging effect on performance for Chinese consumer discretionary stocks. Consumer confidence remained low during the reporting period, and consumers had an inclination to save more due to economic uncertainties and strict measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global X MSCI China Consumer Staples ETF

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

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 38.53%, while the Underlying Index decreased 38.07%. The Fund had a net asset value of $29.38 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.24 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from HeilongjiangAgriculture Company Limited and DaShenLin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd, which returned 17.76% and 10.01%, respectively. The worst performers were Smoore International Holdings Limited and RLX Technology, Inc, which returned -77.44% and -74.28%, respectively.

The resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic and China’s policy to curb the proliferation of the virus through strict lockdowns and travel restrictions in many cities were the main reasons for the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period. The Chinese economy lost its recovery momentum and growth slowed during most of the reporting period. Unemployment levels shot up, particularly among young people, while sluggish growth in consumer income led to spending cuts and slowing consumption in China. Moreover, the fear of job losses and reduction in wages further undermined consumer confidence. The decline in property prices also discouraged spending as Chinese households who generally have significant investments in property suffered financially from the fall in property prices.

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

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, it may be worth less than its original cost. High short term performance of the fund is unusual and investors should not expect such performance to be repeated. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike the Fund's returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

Performance figures for the periods shown may reflect contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements (if applicable), returns would have been lower.

There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.

The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares.

Global X MSCI China Health Care ETF

 

Global X MSCI China Health Care ETF

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

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 45.67%, while the Underlying Index decreased 45.33%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.81 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.46 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from China Resources Sanjiu Medical & Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd and Shijiazhuang Yiling Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, which returned 102.67% and 68.49%, respectively. The worst performers were I-MAB and Zai Lab Ltd, which returned -85.97% and -78.66%, respectively.

Policy uncertainties on drug research and development combined with a Chinese government policy to cut drug prices contributed to the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period. The profit margin of Chinese drug makers shrank with the sharp fall in prices. The Health Care sector came under further strain as the U.S. Department of Commerce added Chinese pharmaceutical companies to its “unverified” list of exporters, as it was unable to verify the end use of the products these companies exported to the United States. Some holdings in the Fund suffered large losses after being added to the “unverified” list, contributing to the Fund’s negative returns during the reporting period.

Global X MSCI China Financials ETF

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

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 30.18%, while the Underlying Index decreased 29.66%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.42 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.78 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Guolian Securities Co., Ltd. and Bank of Chengdu Co., Ltd, which returned 29.74% and 23.79%, respectively. The worst performers were Lufax Holding Limited and China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd, which returned -72.41% and -59.56%, respectively.

Investor fears of systemic risk prevailed in China’s Financials sector, resulting in the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period. The freezing of depositor bank accounts by rural banks in the Henan province led to mass protests, while the ongoing property crisis in China led some investors to believe that the volatility could spill over to banks. Chinese banks have significant exposure to property loans, which positioned them to suffer losses from property developer defaults and mortgage boycotts. In addition, credit demand weakened during the reporting period as, private companies withheld investments due to the gloomy Chinese economic outlook. Holdings in the Fund also saw negative impacts to their bottom-line revenues as a result of a Chinese government initiative to reduce fees in financial transactions.

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

The Underlying Index tracks the performance of companies in the MSCI China Index (the "Parent Index") that are classified in the Information Technology sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Ninestar Corp and Dawning Information Industry Co., Ltd, which returned 36.60% and 15.27%, respectively. The worst performers were Ming Yuan Cloud Group Holdings Limited and Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited, which returned -85.87% and -84.89%, respectively.

Chinese non-consumer internet companies and hardware companies such as semiconductors were largely affected by regulatory moves and came under pressure during the reporting period. This was a key contributor to the Fund’s negative performance. The resurgence of COVID-19 and subsequent lockdowns in many Chinese cities, together with weakening economic growth and slowing consumer and commercial demand in China, resulted in a significant slowdown in the smartphone and personal computer market, negatively impacting the performance of the Information Technology sector. Consumers worried about rising unemployment and a slowdown in income growth cut down on discretionary spending, lengthening smartphone upgrade cycles. Lockdowns also resulted in supply shortages of key inputs, such as integrated circuits, and disrupted production in many Chinese cities. The U.S. Department of Commerce’s regulation limiting the sale of semiconductors and chip-making equipment to Chinese firms also caused investors to sell off Information Technology stocks during the reporting period, negatively impacting the Fund.

Continued concerns over the delisting of Chinese ADRs in the United States and China’s regulatory plans for technology companies dragged down the Fund’s returns, which were negative during the reporting period. China’s position in the Ukraine crisis and U.S. regulators’ identification of Chinese companies that might be delisted for failing to meet auditing requirements also had a significant negative impact. Companies in the Communication Services sector benefitted from efforts to roll out 5G networks in China, which helped cushion the Fund from the impact of regulatory concerns.

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

The Underlying Index tracks the performance of companies in the MSCI China Index (the "Parent Index") that are classified in the utilities sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from GD Power Development Co., Ltd and Huadian Power International Corp. Ltd, which returned 50.18% and 14.25%, respectively. The worst performers were China Gas Holdings Limited and China Longyuan Power Group Corporation Ltd, which returned -62.85% and -50.56%, respectively.

China’s power shortage continued during the reporting period, but for different reasons than last year. The crisis during the reporting period was the outcome of unusually hot weather plus a lack of rain. In addition, domestic natural gas demand and consumption shrank, contributing to the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period. However, China continued to boost coal mining and imports to generate electricity and continued transferring electricity between regions to smooth shortages. To counter the power exigency, authorities resorted to power-saving practices, like dimming decorative lights and paring the operational hours of malls. Even though the utilities sector is defensive, the aforementioned challenges contributed to the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period.

Global X MSCI China Real Estate ETF

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 57.96%, while the Underlying Index decreased 59.32%. The Fund had a net asset value of $35.70 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.55 on October 31, 2022 following a 1:3 reverse share split on December 19, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Poly Property Services Co., Ltd and Zhenro Properties Group Limited, which returned 21.02% and 18.66%, respectively. The worst performers were Logan Group Co., Ltd and Country Garden Services Holdings Co. Ltd, which returned -89.49% and -88.63%, respectively.

China’s Three Red Lines policy introduced in late 2020 to reduce the leverage of Chinese real estate developers, and the subsequent default of a few major Chinese real estate companies, led to a crisis in the Chinese housing market, which continued to negatively affect the returns of the Fund during the reporting period. Developers are in financial distress and prices of properties after their sales have fallen significantly. Buyers have gone back on their purchase decisions, fearing that developers could go insolvent, dampening demand and depressing returns for holdings in the Fund during the reporting period. Financially distressed developers failed to finish presold homes, which resulted in a mortgage boycott that further damaged investor sentiment during the reporting period. This was somewhat mitigated by support measures taken by the government towards the end of the reporting period, but these measures were not enough to bring about a sustained rally in the Real Estate sector.

Global X MSCI Greece ETF

 

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. ("MSCI"), the provider of the Underlying Index. The broad Greece equity universe includes securities that are classified in Greece according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Greece and carry out the majority of their operations in Greece. The Underlying Index also applies minimum liquidity thresholds as criteria for company inclusion.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 11.63%, while the Underlying Index decreased 11.15%. The Fund had a net asset value of $27.98 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $24.14 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Terna Energy SA and GasLog Partners LP, which returned 41.95% and 27.23%, respectively. The worst performers were Public Power Corporation SA and Admie Holdings SA, which returned -41.79% and -41.75%, respectively.

Global inflation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and geopolitical forces such as Greece-Turkey tensions, the Russia-Ukraine war and the European energy crisis, all weighed on Greece's economy during the reporting period. This resulted in negative Fund returns despite the tourism industry's strong performance. Despite macroeconomic headwinds and overall negative returns, the Fund’s negative performance was mitigated by stellar returns from the “Big Four” banks of Greece (Piraeus, Eurobank, National Bank of Greece, and Alpha Bank), all of which are significant holdings in the Fund. During the reporting period, the Big Four banks made significant progress in reducing their non-performing loan (NPL) ratio which boosted sentiment towards them and enabled high returns. Meanwhile, returns for the Greek Energy sector were mixed as Greece experimented with power subsidies and programs to boost energy independence.

The inception of the MSCI All Greece Select 25/50 Index (“New Index”) was on December 23, 2015. Effective on or around March 1, 2016, the Fund began to track the New Index. The change was due to the planned migration to the New Index, potentially allowing for broader exposure to the local market.

Global X DAX Germany ETF

 

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. It contains the shares of the 40 largest and most liquid companies admitted to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the Prime Standard segment. The Underlying Index represents about 80% of the free-float market capitalization authorized in Germany.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 28.29%, while the Underlying Index decreased 27.85%. The Fund had a net asset value of $32.86 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $22.74 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hannover Rueck SE and Deutsche Telekom AG, which returned 7.14% and 5.60%, respectively. The worst performers were Zalando SE and Delivery Hero SE, which returned -75.58% and -70.47%, respectively.

The German economy's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was affected by the war in Ukraine, an embargo on Russian oil, rising energy costs, inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, and continuing COVID-19 pandemic-related restrictions in Germany. This resulted in the Fund's negative performance during the reporting period. The Fund holds blue-chip German equities spread across several sectors. Some of these blue-chip companies suffered small shocks to their revenues after suddenly suspending or terminating operations in Russia, dampening performance. Despite headwinds from inflation, Germany avoided recession during the reporting period, which helped mitigate negative investor sentiment, and in turn, Fund losses. Nonetheless, the European Central Bank raised interest rates and reduced bank subsidies during the reporting period, which likely had adverse impact on the Fund's performance.

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. ("MSCI"), the provider of the Underlying Index. The Broad Portugal Equity Universe includes securities that are classified in Portugal according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Portugal and carry out the majority of their operations in Portugal.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 17.55%, while the Underlying Index decreased 17.10%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.71 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.35 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Altri Sgps SA and Greenvolt - Energias Renovaveis SA, which returned 16.64% and 14.06%, respectively. The worst performers were Fusion Fuel Green PLC and Fosun International Limited, which returned -65.66% and -46.00%, respectively.

Despite a rebound in the tourism industry and robust public investment in early 2022, the Portuguese economy was adversely affected by the war in Ukraine, rising inflation that weighed on private consumption, supply-chain disruptions, increases in energy and commodities prices as well as lowering consumer confidence and purchasing power. These events contributed to the Fund's negative performance during the reporting period. Furthermore, the Utilities sector was impacted by a severe drought in Iberia, which increased the production costs for Energias de Portugal, a leading Portuguese energy company and holding of the Fund. When combined with an extreme tax on the energy sector in Portugal, this resulted in net losses to the business and contributed to the Fund's negative returns. However, the negative effects of rising inflation and higher interest rates were partly mitigated by the labor market's strong performance, savings accumulated during the COVID-19 pandemic, and economic stimulus measures by the Portuguese government, which were a relief to the country’s economy.

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. ("MSCI"), the provider of the Underlying Index. The Broad Colombia Equity Universe includes securities that are classified in Colombia according to the MSCI Global Investable

Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Colombia and carry out the majority of their operations in Colombia.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 31.39%, while the Underlying Index decreased 30.87%. The Fund had a net asset value of $30.76 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $19.68 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Grupo Nutresa SA and Grupo de Inversiones Suramericana SA, which returned 74.59% and 65.89%, respectively. The worst performers were Mineros SA and Banco de Bogota SA, which returned -63.52% and -63.37%, respectively.

The Fund generated negative returns during the reporting period as a result of macroeconomic challenges, risk-off sentiment in Columbia, and a contentious presidential election that damaged investor sentiment. During the reporting period, the Fund maintained a high allocation to Financials and Energy. Before May and June 2022, this allocation worked favorably for the Fund’s performance, as a rising interest rate environment, surging commodity prices and a wave of major tender offers boosted the Financials and Energy sectors. However, after two rounds of voting for the presidential election in May and June, Gustavo Petro was elected as president. As the first leftist president in the country’s history, Gustavo Petro created deep uncertainty for investors who speculated over how radical or moderate he would be. More importantly, Petro promised to rapidly move the country away from dependence on oil for revenue and even suggested tough actions against Ecopetrol, the largest holding in the Fund during the reporting period. This had a strongly adverse effect on the Fund’s performance in the latter part of the reporting period.

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. 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. The Underlying Index targets a minimum of 25 securities and 20 issuers at construction.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 3.42%, while the Underlying Index decreased 3.09%. The Fund had a net asset value of $33.00 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $31.13 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from YPF SA and Transportadora de Gas del Sur SA, which returned 81.9% and 63.28%, respectively. The worst performers were Despegar.com, Corp and MercadoLibre, Inc. which returned -42.81% and -39.12%, respectively.

The Fund is well-diversified across cyclical and non-cyclical sectors. Argentina's growth slowed during the reporting period due to an increase in COVID-19 cases, interest rate hikes to combat surging inflation and higher energy import costs, including natural gas. This added to higher energy subsidy costs, hitting Argentina's savings and economic growth, resulting in the Fund's negative performance. During the reporting period, Argentina’s economic policy went through a period of deep uncertainty as the Minister of Economy was swapped out multiple times in the span of a month. Despite this uncertainty, Argentina reached a deal to restructure a Paris Club agreement to postpone the bulk of the billions of dollars of debt repayments until 2028, providing some relief to Argentina. Argentina's new economic team, under the guidance of Minister of Economy Sergio Massa, has implemented decisive, corrective measures that are restoring confidence, policy, and credibility among investors. This facilitated rapid recovery and strengthening prospects for growth, which likely contributed to better performance of the Fund in the last few months of the reporting period.

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 Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Pakistan equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents as defined by MSCI, Inc. ("MSCI"), the provider of 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, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 32.01%, while the Underlying Index decreased 30.66%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.99 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $16.45 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Kot Addu Power Co Ltd and Millat Tractors Limited, which returned 15.37% and 7.61%, respectively. The worst performers were Searle Company Ltd and Habib Bank Limited, which returned -59.49% and -54.45%, respectively.

Despite the resumption of an International Monetary Fund funding program in August which depleted foreign reserves, a weakening local currency, political unrest, decades-high inflation levels, and a large fiscal deficit that inflated the cost of Pakistan imports all contributed to the Fund's negative performance during the reporting period. To combat rising inflationary pressures, Pakistan's central bank raised policy interest rates during the reporting period. Furthermore, floods in Pakistan submerged nearly a third of the country’s land and had a devastating impact on the economy. Political stability became a particular concern for international investors after former Prime Minister Imran Khan began rallying protestors and spreading the claim that the vote of no-confidence that ousted him was, in fact, a foreign-backed coup. The likelihood of political violence increased as many of Khan’s supporters viewed the incumbent leaders as illegitimate, thus dampening investor confidence in Pakistan and dampening the Fund’s returns.

Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF

 

Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF

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

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

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 13.69%, while the Underlying Index decreased 12.81%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.73 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $12.91 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Fidelity Bank PLC and MTN Nigeria Communications PLC, which returned 59.08% and 12.77%, respectively. The worst performers were UPDC Real Estate Investment Trust and Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc, which returned-47.41% and -33.30%, respectively.

The Nigerian economy’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic was aided by a recovery in mining & quarrying activities, transportation, and financial activities. However, macroeconomic stability was weakened by trade restrictions, deficit monetization, and higher global inflation, resulting in the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period. The strong rally in global oil prices did not benefit Nigeria's oil sector during the reporting period due to Nigeria’s negligible refining capacity, massive theft of millions of barrels per day, and the cost of fuel subsidies. However, Nigeria's non-oil exposures boosted the country's economic growth rate, led primarily by the Information Technology and Telecommunications sectors. Nigeria's central bank raised interest rates to combat inflation and relieve pressure on its currency, the naira. At the same time, Nigeria’s system of multiple currency exchange rates continued to create market distortions and problems for investor liquidity, which made the market less appealing for international investors. The majority of Fund assets are in naira and naira-dominated securities. Assets denominated in naira are required to be converted to U.S. Dollars for financial reporting purposes. The currency situation in Nigeria was tenuous and unique, and impacted the Fund in executing repatriation transactions at the spot rate used for financial reporting translation, contributing to the Fund’s negative performance.

Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF

 

Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF

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

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

From the inception of the Fund to the period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 42.60%, while the Underlying Index decreased 42.33%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.64 per share on December 07, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.67 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Van Phu - Invest Investment JSC and Vinh Hoan Corp, which returned 36.58% and 12.22%, respectively. The worst performers were Thaiholdings JSC and An Phat Holdings JSC, which returned -84.95% and -77.16%, respectively.

Financial markets in Vietnam suffered a serious pullback during the reporting period, mainly due to a liquidity crunch in the property sector, strains on the financial sector, and adverse global developments, which negatively affected the Fund’s performance. A Vietnamese government crackdown on property lending aimed to reduce speculation in the property market, but had the effect of stalling projects, discouraging funding, and depressing homebuyer demand. The Fund was strongly impacted by the decline of Vietnam’s property sector, as Real Estate was the largest sector allocation of the Fund during the reporting period. The country also faced challenges from labor shortages and supply chain constraints owing to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and lockdowns in China, contributing to the Fund’s negative performance.

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 select emerging markets and frontier markets companies while maintaining diversification across individual countries, sectors and issuers. The Underlying Index is constructed from the MSCI EFM ex BRICKT (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Korea & Taiwan) Index (the "Parent Index"). Securities from the Parent Index are classified into emerging markets countries and frontier markets countries based on the market classification approach of MSCI Inc., the Index Provider.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 11.75%, while the Underlying Index decreased 11.08%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.00 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $18.07 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Grupo Financiero Inbursa SAB de CV and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank which returned 83.11% and 68.27%, respectively. The worst performers were Thaiholdings JSC and PT Bank Jago Tbk, which returned -79.70% and -70.96%, respectively.

The negative performance of the Fund during the reporting period can be attributed to concerns among investors over the COVID-19 Omicron variant, the Russia–Ukraine crisis, and general risk-off sentiment. Rising commodity prices had mixed effects on emerging and frontier markets, while the rate hikes of the U.S. Federal Reserve weakened currencies around the world. At the same time, due to the relaxation of travel restrictions, tourism and export performance improved, mitigating the Fund’s losses. Sector weightings were the highest in Financials at 30.62%, followed by Communication Services (14.66%) during the reporting period. The highest average country exposures for the Fund were Indonesia (10.52%), Saudi Arabia (10.32%), South Africa (9.24%), and Vietnam (8.17%).

Global X MSCI Norway ETF

 

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 reflect broad based equity market performance in Norway as defined by MSCI, Inc. ("MSCI"), the provider of the Underlying Index. The broad Norway equity universe includes securities that are classified in Norway according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, which is a methodology that seeks to identify the investable universe of companies globally in order to facilitate the construction of replicable indexes such as the Underlying Index.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 21.72%, while the Underlying Index decreased 21.63%. The Fund had a net asset value of $32.01 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $24.43 per share on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hafnia Ltd and Golden Ocean Group Ltd, which returned 154.80% and 101.76%, respectively. The worst performers were LINK Mobility Group Holding ASA and Meltwater NV, which returned -75.62% and -73.43%, respectively.

During the reporting period, the Norwegian economy recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on global commodities prices, energy prices and surging inflation created housing market imbalances and outlays on electricity-bill subsidies in Norway. These factors contributed to the Fund’s negative returns during the reporting period. This was mitigated, to some extent, by Energy holdings in the Fund, particularly Equinor, that received a windfall from the sudden need for energy security in Europe as a result of the war in Ukraine. For the broader economy, Norway's central bank raised interest rates significantly during the period, tightening the Norwegian economy and creating a tougher environment for equities, which also negatively impacted the Fund during the reporting period.

† Performance for periods prior to November 1, 2021 reflects the historical performance of the Global X MSCI Norway ETF, the predecessor fund. On October 29, 2021, the Global X MSCI Norway ETF (the “Acquired Fund”) was reorganized into the Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (the “Acquiring Fund”), each a separate series of the Trust (together, the “Combined Fund”) and the Combined Fund was renamed the Global X MSCI Norway ETF. As a result of the Reorganization as of the close of business on October 29, 2021, the Combined Fund assumed the performance and accounting history of the Acquired Fund. Accordingly, performance figures for the Combined Fund for periods prior to the date of the Reorganization represent the performance of the Acquired Fund (See Note 1 in Notes to Financial Statements).

Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF

 

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 performance of the 40 largest companies in the five ASEAN regions: Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand as defined by FTSE International Limited ("FTSE"), the provider of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index is free-float adjusted and weighted by market capitalization and designed using eligible stocks within the FTSE All-World universe.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2022 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 3.13%, while the Underlying Index decreased 2.43%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.10 per share on October 31, 2021 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.02 on October 31, 2022.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from PTT Exploration & Production PLC and PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk, which returned 41.53% and 39.85%, respectively. The worst performers were Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad and Ayala Land Inc., which returned -38.84% and -36.57%, respectively.

The Underlying Index delivered negative returns during the reporting period, but a number of factors allowed it to outperform major indices in a time of general risk-off sentiment. In addition to the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions boosting tourist inflows and strengthening the macroeconomic environment, investors started to become more optimistic on SoutheastAsian financials as interest rates rose. Financials holdings in the Fund generally performed well during the reporting period, which had positive implications for the Fund, as it has a high allocation to Financials. Southeast Asian currencies have held up relatively well against the rising dollar compared to developed-country currencies, with the Indonesian rupiah and Singapore dollar performing particularly well. Furthermore, as Vietnam’s property sector suffered, which in turn negatively impacted Vietnamese equities, the fact that the Fund has no direct exposure to Vietnam worked in its favor. Performance during the reporting period was hampered by supply-chain disruptions, accelerating inflation, and rising interest rates in the United States. Continuing political instability in Myanmar and the war in Ukraine raised additional risks for the Fund during the reporting period.

1. ORGANIZATION

Global X Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust formed on March 6, 2008. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. As of October 31, 2022, the Trust had one hundred and seven portfolios, ninety-seven of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X MSCI China Energy ETF, Global X MSCI China Materials ETF, Global X MSCI China Industrials ETF, Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF, Global X MSCI China Consumer Staples ETF, Global X MSCI China Health Care ETF, Global X MSCI China Financials ETF, Global X MSCI China Information Technology ETF, Global X MSCI China Communication Services ETF, Global X MSCI China Utilities ETF, Global X MSCI China Real Estate ETF, Global X MSCI Greece ETF, Global X DAX Germany ETF, Global X MSCI Portugal ETF, Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF, Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF, Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF, Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF and Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund (except for the Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF) has elected non-diversified status.

Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF commenced operations on December 7, 2021.

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

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

1. ORGANIZATION (continued)

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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.

USE OF ESTIMATES — The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

RETURN OF CAPITAL ESTIMATES — Distributions received by the Funds from underlying master limited partnership (“MLP”) and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) investments generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from the MLPs, REITs and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”)), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent mean between the quoted bid and asked prices, which approximates fair value (absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used).

For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. 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

182

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 
October 31, 2022

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less will be valued at 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 Global X Management LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and approved by the Board. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the "valuation designee" to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a fair value committee (the "Committee") of the Adviser. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using the Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ security that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that each Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate their NAVs, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

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

183

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 
October 31, 2022

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date

Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at NAV as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost)

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, and fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at NAV as of the measurement date or within the near term)

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For details of the investment classification, reference the Schedule of Investments.

The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

DUE TO/FROM BROKERS — Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties as of October 31, 2022. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements by BNP Paribas are held by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ custodian (“Custodian”), and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by the Custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the

184



Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 
October 31, 2022

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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

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

As of October 31, 2022, 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 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax positions in the current period; however, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), and on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof.

If a Fund has foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.

As of and during the reporting period October 31, 2022, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as in income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the reporting period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

The Funds file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The Statements of Operations includes tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts is included in interest income.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Foreign governments and their agencies may enact policies that delay or place limits on repatriation of local currency to U.S. dollars. Market quoted rates for immediate currency settlement may have access or transaction volume restrictions that are insufficient to convert a significant portion of a fund’s local currency denominated assets and liabilities to U.S. dollars. Monetary policies enacted by government agencies

in Nigeria, limiting its local currency's repatriation to safeguard U.S. dollar reserves and exchange rates, significantly impacts the ability of the Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF and other Funds to convert local denominated assets and liabilities amounts to U.S. dollars using quoted immediate currency settlement rates. As of October 31, 2022, assets and liabilities denominated in Nigerian Naira are translated using the Nigerian Autonomous Foreign Exchange Rate Fixing (“NAFEX”) rate. The use of an alternative exchange rate would impact the effect of currency translation and the results of operations.

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 Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS - To the extent consistent with its investment policies, each Fund may invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts. No Fund, however, expects to engage in currency transactions for speculative purposes or for the purpose of hedging against declines in the value of Fund's assets that are denominated in a foreign currency. A Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts to facilitate local settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with its distributions to shareholders. Foreign currency exchange contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell a specified currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the values of portfolio securities but rather allow a Fund to establish a rate of exchange for a future point in time. Foreign currency futures contracts involve an obligation to deliver or acquire the specified amount of a specific currency, at a specified price and at a specified future time. Such futures contracts may be settled on a net cash payment basis rather than by the sale and delivery of the underlying currency. A Fund may incur costs in connection with forward foreign currency exchange and futures contracts and conversions of foreign currencies and U.S dollars. The net realized gain or loss on forward foreign currency contracts is reflected in the Statements of Operations and the net unrealized gains (losses) are included as component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Operations. As of October 31, 2022, there were no foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts held by the Funds.

Average Monthly Notional Balance Short 
 $1,305,616

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with 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.

CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at net asset value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of 10,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to 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:

 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 preceding differences between book and tax cost are primarily due to mark-to-market treatment of passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

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

The securities markets of emerging market countries are less liquid and subject to greater price volatility, and have a smaller market capitalization than the U.S. securities markets.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 
October 31, 2022

 

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

In certain countries, there may be fewer publicly traded securities and the market may be dominated by a few issuers or sectors. Issuers and securities markets in such countries are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements or as comprehensive government regulations as issuers and securities markets in the United States. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of emerging market country issuers may not reflect their financial position or results of operations in the same manner as financial statements for U.S. issuers.

Substantially less information may be publicly available about emerging market country issuers than is available about issuers in the United States.

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

The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of an underlying index in approximately the same proportions as the underlying index. A representative sampling strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities (including indirect investments through underlying ETFs) that collectively has an investment profile similar to an underlying index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Each Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to its underlying index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to its shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its underlying index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the underlying index become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to a Fund but not its underlying index).

Certain Funds may invest in commodity related securities, which are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on those securities.

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 regarding the impact of this transaction remain a concern for the Fund. Accordingly, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the transition away from LIBOR on the Funds until new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new products, instruments and contracts are commercially accepted.

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

The Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF’s investments are largely denominated in naira. Assets denominated in naira are required to be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes, which translation is effected utilizing the official exchange rate, i.e. NAFEX. However, the Central Bank of Nigeria has implemented capital controls to manage an official exchange rate that precludes the purchase or sale of naira outside of official markets. As a result, opportunities to repatriate naira into dollars have been limited or non-existent, and in instances where a fund has had a repatriation opportunity, it has experienced extreme delays in repatriating such naira, with such repatriation occurring at times through the Central Bank of Nigeria at a discount to the official exchange rate. These circumstances may create uncertainty regarding the liquidity of transactions repatriating naira to U.S. dollars, as well as uncertainty with respect to the translation of the naira and naira-denominated assets to U.S. dollars.

Special Risk Considerations of Investing in China – Variable Interest Entity Investments. For purposes of raising capital offshore on exchanges outside of China, including on U.S. exchanges, many Chinese-based operating companies are structured as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). In this structure, the Chinese-based operating company is the VIE and establishes a shell company in a foreign jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. The shell company lists on a foreign exchange and enters into contractual arrangements with the VIE. This structure allows Chinese companies in which the Chinese government restricts foreign ownership to raise capital from foreign investors. While the shell company has no equity ownership of the VIE, these contractual arrangements permit the shell company

203

October 31, 2022

 

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

to consolidate the VIE’s financial statements with its own for accounting purposes and provide for economic exposure to the performance of the underlying Chinese operating company. Therefore, an investor in the listed shell company, such as certain of the Funds, will have exposure to the Chinese-based operating company only through contractual arrangements and has no ownership in the Chinese-based operating company. Furthermore, because the shell company only has specific rights provided for in these service agreements with the VIE, its abilities to control the activities at the Chinese-based operating company are limited and the operating company may engage in activities that negatively impact investment value. While the VIE structure has been widely adopted, it is not formally recognized under Chinese law and therefore there is a risk that the Chinese government could prohibit the existence of such structures or negatively impact the VIE’s contractual arrangements with the listed shell company by declaring them invalid. If these contracts were found to be unenforceable under Chinese law, investors in the listed shell company, such as a Fund, may suffer significant losses with little or no recourse available. If the Chinese government determines that the agreements establishing the VIE structures do not comply with Chinese law and regulations, including those related to restrictions on foreign 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 a 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 (the “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.

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

204

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 
October 31, 2022

 

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

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 make designations going forward.

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

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

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

7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of its total assets. Security loans made pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BBH are initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements, short-term investments or U.S. Treasury obligations, and is recognized in the Schedules

205

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) 
October 31, 2022

 

7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES (continued)

of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan.

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

8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION

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

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

9. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT

Effective April 28, 2020, each of the Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI Greece ETF and Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF executed a reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of markets on April 27, 2020. The effect of this transaction for each Fund was to divide the number of outstanding Shares of the Fund by the applicable ratio below, resulting in a corresponding increase in the NAV per Share. The capital share activity presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for each of the years in the period then ended, and per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended, have been given retroactive effect to reflect these reverse share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of these transactions. The details of the reverse splits are as follows:



Fund Name Ratio 
Global X MSCI Colombia ETF  1:4 
Global X MSCI Greece ETF  1:3 
Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF  1:4 
 

10. MERGER

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

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

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

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


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

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Board of the Trust approved a reverse share split of one to three (1:3) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Global X MSCI China Real Estate ETF (the "Reverse Share Split"). The Reverse Share Split was completed after the close of business on December 19, 2022. The effect of this transaction was to divide the number of outstanding Shares of the Fund by three, resulting in a corresponding increase in the NAV per Share. The capital share activity presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for each of the years in the period then ended, and the per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended have been updated to reflect this reverse share split. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of this transaction.

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.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

 

ETFs (such as the Funds) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of the shareholder’s investment in a Fund.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a Fund’s gross income and directly reduce their final investment returns. 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 a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from May 1, 2022 through October 31, 2022.

The table on the next page illustrates the Funds’ costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that a 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 a Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Funds had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

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

Liquidity Risk Management Program (UNAUDITED)

 

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds’investment adviser has adopted, and the Board has approved, a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk. The Program is overseen by the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds.

At a meeting of the Board held on May 20, 2022, the Trustees received a report from the Committee addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. The Committee’s report noted that the Committee had determined that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk and operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk for the period covered by the report. The Committee’s report noted that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Committee’s report noted that one Fund, the Global X Nigeria Fund, was classified as an In-Kind Fund for purposes of Liquidity Reporting. The Committee’s report noted that no other material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.

Supplemental Information (UNAUDITED)

 

NAV is the price per Share at which the Funds issue and redeem Shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of the Funds generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Funds are listed for trading, as of the time that the Funds’ NAV is calculated. The Funds’ Market Price may be at, above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Funds will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Funds’ holdings. The Market Price of the Funds will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of the Funds on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that the Funds are trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Funds are 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.

 SARBANES-OXLEY CODE OF ETHICS

I. Introduction.

This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) has been adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Global X Funds (the “Company”). It has been designed to comply with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Trust requires its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or other Trust officers performing similar functions (the “Principal Officers”), to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards while performing their duties and responsibilities to the Trust and each of its series (each a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”), with particular emphasis on those duties that relate to the preparation and reporting of the financial information of the Funds. The following principles and responsibilities shall govern the professional conduct of the Principal Officers:

A. Honest and Ethical Conduct

The Principal Officers shall act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships, and shall report any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such conflict between their interests and those of a Fund to the Audit Committee, the full Board of Trustees of the Trust, and, in addition, to any other appropriate person or entity that may reasonably be expected to deal with any conflict of interest in timely and expeditious manner.

The Principal Officers shall act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated or compromised.

B. Financial Records and Reporting

The Principal Officers shall provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and/or other documents to be filed with or submitted to the SEC or other applicable body by a Fund, or that is otherwise publicly disclosed or communicated. The Principal Officers shall comply with applicable rules and regulations of federal, state, and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies.

The Principal Officers shall respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their work and shall not disclose such information except when authorized or legally obligated to disclose. The Principal Officers will not use confidential information acquired in the course of their duties as Principal Officers.

The Principal Officers shall share knowledge and maintain skills important and relevant to the Trust’s needs; shall proactively promote ethical behavior of the Trust’s employees and as a partner with industry peers and associates; and shall maintain control over and responsibly manage assets and resources employed or entrusted to them by the Trust.




C. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

The Principal Officers shall establish and maintain mechanisms to oversee the compliance of the Funds with applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or administrative rule, and to identify, report and correct in a swift and certain manner, any detected deviations from applicable federal, state or local law, regulation or rule.

D. Compliance With this Code of Ethics

The Principal Officers shall promptly report any violations of this Code of Ethics to the Audit Committee as well as the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and shall be held accountable for strict adherence to this Code of Ethics. A proven failure to uphold the standards stated herein shall be grounds for such sanctions as shall be reasonably imposed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

E. Amendment and Waiver

This Code of Ethics may only be amended or modified by approval of the Board of Trustees. Any substantive amendment that is not technical or administrative in nature or any material waiver, implicit or otherwise, of any provision of this Code of Ethics, shall be communicated publicly in accordance with Item 2 of Form N-CSR under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
