Global X Millennial Consumer ETF
Global X Millennial Consumer ETF
Global X Millennial Consumer ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Millennials Thematic Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index measures the performance of U.S. listed companies that provide exposure to the Millennial generation, (“Millennial Companies”). The Millennial generation refers to the demographic cohort in the US with birth years ranging from 1980 to 2000.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 15.87%, while the Underlying Index increased 16.42%. The Fund had a net asset value of $28.43 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $32.86 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Carvana Co. Class A and Meta Platforms Inc. Class A, which returned 306.23% and 177.01%, respectively. The worst performers were Bed Bath & Beyond Inc and 2U Inc., which returned -91.37% and -87.77%, respectively.
The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period, capitalizing on the evolving preferences of Millennial and Gen Z consumers, a significant global demographic. These cohorts increasingly favored cutting-edge technology and convenience, driven by heightened social media consumption that propelled mobile shopping and alternative payment methods during the reporting period. Noteworthy trends included a preference for experiential pursuits (such as travel) over material possessions and a discernible shift toward access over ownership, observed in the popularity of ridesharing and collaborative consumption. These trends not only presented lucrative opportunities for modern companies but also contributed to the enduring success of established legacy businesses, fueled by the growing spending capacity of these consumer groups. During the reporting period, the Fund had the highest sector exposure to Consumer Discretionary at 42.78% and Communication Services at 23.77%.

Global X Aging Population ETF
Global X Aging Population ETF
Global X Aging Population ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Aging Population Thematic Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of companies listed in developed markets that are expected to directly or indirectly contribute to increasing the life-spans of the senior population of the world. The Underlying Index provides access to companies involved in biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, senior living facilities and specialized health care services, which respond to the needs of this demographic.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 2.42%, while the Underlying Index increased 2.80%. The Fund had a net asset value of $26.46 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $26.93 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Seagen, Inc. and Novo Nordisk A/S Class B, which returned 75.64% and 68.44%, respectively. The worst performers were FibroGen, Inc. and Cano Health, Inc. Class A, which returned -96.16% and -96.12%, respectively.
The Fund recorded modestly positive returns during the reporting period as advances in medical science and technology supported growth of the healthcare industry. Continued growth of the aging population theme resulted in increased demand for medical care and healthcare services, leading to positive investor sentiment. Growing focus on research and development (R&D) in the medical industry towards addressing age-related disorders like cardiovascular illnesses and type 2 diabetes also played a role in growing returns. Furthermore, senior living facilities benefited from increased demand for round-the-clock care and operational improvements to better scale care. Ongoing supply chain and macroeconomic headwinds limited upside in the Fund during the reporting period, with inflationary pressures impacting margins in the medical devices sector. The Fund also benefitted from a slower-than-expected rebound for aging-related surgical procedures following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF
Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF
Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx U.S. Infrastructure Development Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S. listed companies that provide exposure to domestic infrastructure development, including companies involved in construction and engineering; production of infrastructure raw materials, composites and products; industrial transportation; and producers/distributors of heavy construction equipment (collectively, “U.S. Infrastructure Development Companies”), as defined by Indxx, LLC, the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 13.63%, while the Underlying Index increased 14.31%. The Fund had a net asset value of $27.94 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $31.50 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Powell Industries Inc. and Atlas Technical Consultants, which returned 221.37% and 124.21%, respectively. The worst performers were Titan Machinery Inc. and Calix Inc., which returned -48.08% and -45.88%, respectively.
The Fund recorded a positive performance during the reporting period as U.S. Infrastructure Development Companies continued to benefit from high demand for construction work and positive sentiments toward the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and CHIPS Act. The United States also experienced a surge in manufacturing construction spending as companies reoriented their supply chains in the fallout from disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and conflict in Ukraine. Infrastructure companies with the expertise to build out industrial capacity also benefitted from this onshoring trend. Lastly, after softening around the beginning of the reporting period, construction input prices stabilized, providing support for materials suppliers within the Fund. During the reporting period, by sector, the Fund had the highest exposure to Industrials at 71.80% and Materials at 22.00%.

Global X Autonomous & Electric Vehicles ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Autonomous & Electric Vehicles Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are involved in the development of electric vehicles and/or autonomous vehicles, including companies that produce electric/hybrid vehicles, electric/hybrid vehicle components and materials, autonomous driving technology, and network connected services for transportation, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 2.71%, while the Underlying Index increased 2.64%. The Fund had a net asset value of $22.89 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.19 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from NVIDIA Corporation and Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. Class A, which returned 176.47% and 67.61%, respectively. The worst performers were Plug Power Inc. and Innoviz Technologies Ltd., which returned -74.69% and -68.16%, respectively.
The Fund recorded modestly positive returns during the reporting period due to strong performances from big tech companies that are aligned with autonomous vehicle development as well as continued growth for the electric vehicle (“EV”) industry. A combination of accommodative government policy, technological innovation, deployment of charging infrastructure, and expanded commitments from traditional automakers continued to support progress in EV adoption. Declining battery-related commodity costs and price wars between automakers improved EV affordability, although they continue to sell at an upfront premium to internal combustion engine vehicles. EV sales did not grow as quickly as expected during the reporting period due to economic headwinds in China and elevated borrowing costs for consumers around the world. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 55.50% in the United States and 10.81% in Japan. By sector, it had the highest average exposure to Consumer Discretionary at 35.39%, followed by Information Technology at 29.80%.

The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies in developed markets that are positioned to benefit from the further development and implementation of artificial intelligence technology, as well as to companies that provide critical technology and services for the analysis of large and complex data sets (collectively, “Artificial Intelligence & Big Data Companies”).
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 38.56%, while the Underlying Index increased 39.45%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.54 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $29.73 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Alchip Technologies Ltd. and Super Micro Computer Inc., which returned 233.68% and 203.08%, respectively. The worst performers were Meituan-Class B and Envestnet Inc., which returned -44.66% and -41.49%, respectively.
The Fund recorded positive performance during the reporting period as strong growth in the artificial intelligence (“AI”) market and its positive impact on productivity supported economic gains. The growing use of AI-as-a-service gave an opportunity for cloud computing companies to monetize their services by partnering with emerging AI startups and upselling additional cloud infrastructure to their expansive user bases. Additionally, the introduction of new generative AI tools to enhance user experiences contributed to the Fund’s performance. Multi-sectoral applications of AI for automation, productivity enhancement, and quality control gave investors confidence in companies looking to utilize AI for improving profit margins. Investor confidence was also boosted as the technology companies operating in this realm prioritized cost-cutting measures and workforce reductions to enhance margins and improve bottom-line performance. During the reporting period, the Fund had the highest average sector exposure to Information Technology at 61.36%, followed by Communication Services at 14.79%.

The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of genomic science and biotechnology, as well as applications thereof (collectively, “Genomics & Biotechnology Companies”), as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”). In order to be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, a company is considered by the Index Provider to be a Genomics & Biotechnology Company if it derives at least 50% of its revenue, operating income, or assets from genomics and/or biotechnology.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 22.60%, while the Underlying Index decreased 22.22%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.45 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $10.41 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Avidity Biosciences Inc. and Natera Inc., which returned 42.52% and 36.07%, respectively. The worst performers were Bionano Genomics Inc. and Sangamo Therapeutics Inc., which returned -93.53% and -91.88%, respectively.
The Fund recorded negative returns during the reporting period on account of challenges faced by biotechnology companies due to growing inflationary pressures and regulatory scrutiny. Rising interest rates affected biotech companies that rely on debt financing to fund their research and development expenses. This forced the industry to prioritize operational efficiencies to expand cash runway and accelerate the path towards profitability, in turn, deprioritizing product innovation. Genomics & Biotechnology Companies were also impacted by a slowdown in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) amid growing scrutiny from regulatory bodies that has put a hold on potential exit opportunities for smaller genomics companies. Continued supply chain constraints also hampered the industry during the reporting period, resulting in shortages of key medications and more costly manufacturing of complex treatment categories.

The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period resulting from a broad uplift in profitability for companies as well as an increased adoption of cloud technology and generative artificial intelligence (“AI”)-based products and services. Hyperscale cloud platforms capitalized on the generative AI platform shift by quickly enabling access to emerging large-language models through their platforms, and cross selling cloud services to new customers. Similarly, software companies were able to incrementally monetize their offerings by building automated and AI-driven end solutions to clients looking to improve efficiency. Lastly, technology companies operating in the cloud computing market also focused on cost-cutting measures and workforce reductions to enhance margins and improve bottom-line performance, which helped boost broad investor confidence. The continued rise and use of data-heavy assets further helped drive spending on cloud computing services during the period.

The Fund is passively managed and 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, designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are active in the cannabis industry (collectively, “Cannabis Companies”). In order to be eligible for inclusion in the Cannabis Index, a company is considered by the Index Provider to be a Cannabis Company if it derives at least 50% of its revenue, operating income, or assets from the cannabis industry. These companies include those involved in the following areas of the cannabis industry: (i) the legal production, growth and distribution of marijuana, as well as extracts, derivative products or synthetic versions thereof; (ii) the legal production, growth and distribution of hemp, as well as extracts, derivative products or synthetic versions thereof; (iii) financial services (insurance offerings, property leasing, financing, capital markets activity and investments) provided to companies involved in the production, growth and distribution of cannabis; (iv) pharmaceutical applications of cannabis; (v) cannabidiol (better known as CBD) and cannabis oil products, edibles, topicals, drinks and other products; and (vi) products that may be used to consume cannabis; and (vii) the provision of software and/or online marketplaces or platforms primarily for the cannabis sector.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 61.63%, while the Underlying Index decreased 63.58%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.95 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $5.52 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hexo Corp. and Organigram holdings Inc., which returned 325.84% and 26.60%, respectively. The worst performers were Flora Growth Corp. and MYMD Pharmaceuticals Inc., which returned -87.50% and -86.92%, respectively.
The Fund recorded negative performance during the reporting period amid challenges of a large illicit cannabis market and varied regulatory landscape across key markets. Increased supply in the cannabis market and stringent tax requirements in legal jurisdictions hampered investor sentiment towards Cannabis Companies. Additionally, limited accessibility of capital amid a high interest rate environment and complicated regulatory landscape reduced growth prospects of Cannabis Companies. Slower-than-expected regulatory actions in key markets like the United States and Germany have delayed consolidation efforts from key market players to improve margins and achieve profitability. Lastly, chances of a recession decreased consumer spending on perceived non-essential items, including cannabis products. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 54.94% in Canada and 34.06% in United States. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Health Care at 65.51% and Real Estate at 18.48%.

The Underlying Index seeks to provide broad exposure to thematic growth strategies using a portfolio of exchange-traded funds (each, an “Underlying ETF”). The Underlying Index allocates index weights among the Underlying ETFs based on a quantitative methodology developed by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index, which is designed to determine the selection and weighting of the eligible Underlying ETFs.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 10.30%, while the Underlying Index decreased 10.39%. The Fund had a net asset value of $26.14 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.05 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Global X Blockchain ETF and Global X Social Media ETF, which returned 68.55% and 25.11%, respectively. The worst performers were Global X Cannabis ETF and Global X Lithium & Battery ETF, which returned -62.50% and -30.53%, respectively.
The Fund performed negatively during the reporting period on account of the performance of its underlying themes. A portion of the Fund’s negative returns were due to higher interest rates, elevated material costs and permit delays associated with renewable energy companies. Additionally, inflationary pressures, regulatory scrutiny and competition from generic manufacturers adversely impacted the performance of the biotechnology stocks. Within the disruptive materials space, dampened demand leading to higher supply levels amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment negatively contributed to the Fund’s performance. Meanwhile, lithium prices were weighed down by performance in the Chinese spot market, amid weakened demand and bearish sentiment.

Casual mobile gaming continues to remain popular, attracting a significant number of players worldwide. Key mobile platforms brought increasingly media-rich and high-fidelity gaming experiences on smaller devices, driving a resurgence of in-app purchases and rise in the popularity of online multiplayer games. Higher investments and increased merger and acquisition (M&A) activity helped drive growth both for the acquiring companies and broader industry.

Global X Cybersecurity ETF
Global X Cybersecurity ETF
Global X Cybersecurity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Cybersecurity Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are positioned to benefit from increased adoption of cybersecurity technology, including but not limited to companies whose principal business is in the development and management of security protocols preventing intrusion and attacks to systems, networks, applications, computers, and mobile devices, as determined by Indxx LLC, the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 19.29%, while the Underlying Index increased 19.89%. The Fund had a net asset value of $22.85 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $26.84 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Crowdstrike Holdings Inc. A and Varonis Systems Inc., which returned 101.44% and 97.22%, respectively. The worst performers were Arqit Quantum Inc. and A10 Networks Inc., which returned -93.55% and -32.08%, respectively.
The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period as increased digitalization and interconnectedness in the economy drove growth of the cybersecurity market. Spending on cybersecurity solutions was boosted by increasing attacks on corporations and governments, digital warfare emanating from major global conflicts, and emerging new possibilities with the rise of technologies like generative artificial intelligence (AI). Corporations responded to the escalating trend of targeted cyber-attacks by increasing investments in security technologies that suit a cloud-native deployment model of information technology (IT), cutting costs. Rising cases of complex cyber threats led to implementation of new technologies for enhancing threat detection and automating security processes. Government programs enacted in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic to broadly safeguard citizens from a complex and worsening IT landscape also helped drive the market forward, contributing to the Fund’s positive returns. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 68.02% in United States and 14.06% in Israel.

Global X Telemedicine & Digital Health ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Telemedicine & Digital Health Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of telemedicine and digital health, as well as applications thereof (collectively, “Telemedicine & Digital Health Companies”), as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”). In order to be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, a company is considered by the Index Provider to be a Telemedicine & Digital Health Company if it derives at least 50% of its revenue, operating income, or assets from telemedicine and/ or digital health. Telemedicine & Digital Health Companies include those involved in the following business activities: (i) telemedicine, (ii) healthcare analytics, (iii) connected healthcare devices, and/ or (iv) administrative digitization.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 26.82%, while the Underlying Index decreased 26.69%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.23 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $8.95 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hims & Hers Health, Inc. Class A. and GoodRx Holdings, Inc. Class A, which returned 43.62% and 37.39%, respectively. The worst performers were Bionano Genomics Inc. and Invitae Corp., which returned -92.74% and -84.18%, respectively.
The Fund recorded negative returns during the reporting period as contracting operating margins, slower-than-expected regulatory activity, and ongoing inflationary concerns slowed industry growth which impacted the performance of Telemedicine & Digital Health Companies. A high interest rate environment and limited debt availability slowed innovation in the sector and delayed interoperability timelines for digital health firms. This, in turn, slowed adoption by healthcare professionals and delayed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity that would help consolidate and streamline a fragmented industry. Continued inflationary pressures increased the cost of medical equipment and pharmaceutical drugs, limiting physician and hospital budgets for increased digitization and automation.

Global X China Biotech Innovation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive China Biotech Innovation Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are directly involved in China’s biotechnology industry. In constructing the Underlying Index, the Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index utilizes FactSet Industry classifications to identify companies that are directly involved in the biotechnology industry. Only those securities classified in the biotechnology industry according to FactSet as of each rebalance date are eligible for inclusion in the index. The Underlying Index is weighted according to a modified capitalization weighting methodology and is reconstituted and re-weighted semi-annually.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 11.66%, while the Underlying Index decreased 11.00%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.68 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $8.51 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hebei Changshan Biochemical Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Class A and Pacific Shuanglin Bio-pharmacy Co., Ltd. Class A, which returned 161.33% and 48.71%, respectively. The worst performers were Kintor Pharmaceutical Ltd. and CanSino Biologics, Inc. Class A, which returned -75.35% and -62.06%, respectively.
The Fund recorded negative returns during the reporting period amid growing inflationary pressures and regulatory scrutiny. Demand for contract research services and lab equipment declined amid tightening budgets and limited availability of funding. Enforcement of global regulatory reforms for drug manufacturing companies adversely impacted market sentiment. In a parallel development, China’s biotech IPO volumes declined against the backdrop of reduced investor confidence and earnings volatility. Investments in Chinese drugmaker companies declined, as investors from the US and other countries remained cautious of the stringent financing environment within the biotech industry. This also slowed down mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in the industry, putting a hold to potential exit opportunities for smaller healthcare firms.

The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies that are positioned to benefit from the increased adoption of technologies focused on improving the efficiency of renewable energy production and/or mitigating the adverse environmental effects of resource consumption (“CleanTech”), including, but not limited to, companies whose principal business is in developing technology relating to renewable energy, energy efficiency and storage, smart grid, lithium-ion batteries and/or fuel cells, and/or pollution prevention/amelioration (collectively, “CleanTech Companies”), as defined by Indxx LLC, the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”).
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 38.90%, while the Underlying Index decreased 38.76%.

The worst performers were Sunpower Corporation and Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd., which returned -82.89% and -81.74%, respectively.
The Fund performed negatively during the reporting period as CleanTech equipment manufacturers continued to have their performance impacted by rising inflation, supply bottlenecks, and elevated materials costs. Slow permitting timelines in the United States and European Union remained a significant detractor to realizing full growth potential within the wind and solar power industries. Elevated project costs and high interest rates also dampened renewable energy growth prospects across major markets and reduced equipment demand, particularly for the offshore wind and residential solar power segments. Furthermore, companies throughout the hydrogen value chain had their performances weighed down by elevated hydrogen prices, supply constraints, higher interest rates, and continued investments towards scaling production for future expected demand. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 33.97% in United States, 13.73% in South Korea and 12.17% in China.

Global X Clean Water ETF
Global X Clean Water ETF
The Global X Clean Water ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Clean Water Industry Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies expected to benefit from further advances in the provision of clean water, including, but not limited to, companies whose principal business is in water treatment, recycling (including water reclamation), purification, desalination, storage, distribution, and/or sustainability (collectively, “Clean Water Companies”), as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 9.50%, while the Underlying Index increased 9.83%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.30 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $15.40 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Nomura Micro Science Co. Ltd. and Organo Corp., which returned 137.73% and 106.89%, respectively. The worst performers were Calix Ltd. and Middlesex Water Company, which returned -31.85% and -30.47%, respectively.
The Fund performed positively during the reporting period as continued investments in water technology insulated Clean Water Companies against the broader uncertain macroeconomic environment. Broadening commitment to sustainable development goals (SDGs) from the private sector as well as continued federal investments in U.S. water infrastructure from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) lifted investor sentiment toward the clean water space. Water utility companies were able to drive consistent earnings growth and healthy dividend payouts despite an increase in costs and inflationary pressures. Lastly, high profile instances of drought and water insecurity continued to draw attention to the Clean Water Companies. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 62.62% in United States and 22.58% in Britain. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Industrials at 49.17% and Utilities at 37.99%.

Global X AgTech & Food Innovation ETF
The Global X AgTech & Food Innovation ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive AgTech & Food Innovation Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the fields of agricultural technology (“AgTech”) and food innovation. Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “AgTech & Food Innovation Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 34.41%, while the Underlying Index decreased 34.22%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.63 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $10.17 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. and Ingredion Inc., which returned 25.49% and 7.66%, respectively. The worst performers were Appharvest Inc. and Benson Hill Inc., which returned -95.68% and -93.52%, respectively.
The Fund generated negative returns during the reporting period. The agriculture technology industry experienced a decline in capital investment as investors moved to more mature investment avenues. Consumer purchasing power was compressed during the reporting period due to inflation and rising borrowing costs, leading many to purchase less expensive, more traditional foods. As a result, demand for food innovation technologies and products declined. Despite higher revenue growth, companies in the plant-based food sector reported lower-than-expected earnings as they faced challenges in reducing costs and scaling operations. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 43.90% in United States and 27.55% in China. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Consumer Staples at 50.59% and Materials at 32.48%.

The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of blockchain technology. Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “Blockchain Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. “Blockchain Companies” are those companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues, operating income, or assets from the following business activities: (i) digital asset mining; (ii) blockchain & digital asset transactions; (iii) blockchain applications; (iv) blockchain & digital asset hardware; and (v) blockchain & digital asset integration.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 88.92%, while the Underlying Index increased 85.88%. The Fund had a net asset value of $16.39 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $30.72 on November 30, 2023, following a 1:4 reverse share split on December 19, 2022.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Cipher Mining Inc. and Northern Data AG, which returned 254.40% and 248.95%, respectively. The worst performers were SAI. TECH Global Corp. and Core Scientific Inc., which returned -63.51% and -51.99%, respectively.
The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period, primarily driven by positive sentiment amongst leading crypto assets. Additionally, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to slow down its rate hiking activities alleviated pressure on digital asset miners while various spot bitcoin ETF applications by a handful of asset managers boosted the optimism toward and the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies. The embrace of blockchain applications expanded as banks and asset managers delved into tokenization projects, while technology companies explored innovative payment solutions using stablecoins (cryptocurrencies geared towards maintaining a stable price). Furthermore, incrementally positive regulatory developments in the EU, including the passage of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) framework, also provided tailwinds to some of the Fund’s constituent holdings. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 74.26% in United States and 15.77% in Canada. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Information Technology at 67.24% and Financials at 31.64%.

The Global X Hydrogen ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Hydrogen Index (“Underlying Index”).The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying index is designed to provide exposure to companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of hydrogen technology. Hydrogen technology includes products and services focused on the development and implementation of hydrogen gas as a renewable fuel source. Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “Hydrogen Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. Hydrogen Companies are those companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues, operating income, or assets from the following business activities: (i) hydrogen production; (ii) hydrogen fuel cells; (iii) hydrogen technology; and (iv) hydrogen integration
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 46.86%, while the Underlying Index decreased 46.36%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.27 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $6.52 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. Class A and Toyota Motor Corp., which returned 67.61% and 35.17%, respectively. The worst performers were Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. Class A and Nikola Corp., which returned -83.24% and -76.18%, respectively.
The Fund performed negatively during the reporting period as Hydrogen Companies were impacted by a range of factors including inflation, supply chain challenges, and increased prices on raw materials. In particular, elevated natural gas prices and hydrogen supply constraints negatively impacted performances of hydrogen producers and service providers. In addition, high costs for the manufacturing of nascent electrolyzer technologies weighed on electrolyzer producers. Hydrogen Companies’ investments into expanding manufacturing capabilities to meet expected future hydrogen demand also contributed to net losses. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 38.86% in United States and 15.11% in Britain. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Industrials at 91.86%.

Solar Companies are those companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from the following business activities: (i) solar energy materials; (ii) solar energy systems & components; (iii) solar power production; (iv) solar technology; (v) solar installation, integration & maintenance.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 46.92%, while the Underlying Index decreased 46.62%. The Fund had a net asset value of $22.06 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.71 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Abalance Corp. and Motech Industries Inc., which returned 19.57% and 9.25%, respectively. The worst performers were Sunpower Corp. and Maxeon Solar Technologies, which returned -82.89% and -82.06%, respectively.
The Fund recorded negative returns during the reporting period as the performances of Solar Companies were hindered by increased costs and lower than expected demand. Both solar equipment manufacturers and project developers faced dampened residential and commercial solar demand in key markets such as the U.S. and China. High polysilicon costs translated to higher costs across the entire solar power value chain, which impacted many projects already under development. Combined with high interest rates and the current macroeconomic environment, this caused some customers and developers to delay projects until prices improve. In the U.S., policy uncertainty over tariffs at the Federal level and shifting policies for residential solar in California also created headwinds. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 53.78% in China and 26.33% in United States. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Information Technology at 64.89% and Industrials at 23.91%.

The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of wind energy technology. Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “Wind Energy Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the “Index Provider”). Wind Energy Companies are those companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from the following business activities: (i) wind energy systems; (ii) wind power production; (iii) wind energy technology; and (iv) wind power integration & maintenance.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 25.94%, while the Underlying Index decreased 25.69%. The Fund had a net asset value of $17.58 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $12.88 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Century Iron & Steel Industries and Cadeler A/S, which returned 93.80% and 20.52%, respectively. The worst performers were TPI Composites Inc. and Ming Yang Smart Energy Gro-A, which returned -82.53% and -48.66%, respectively.
The Fund performed negatively during the reporting period as Wind Energy Companies were impacted by higher interest rates, project delays and cancellations, and elevated material costs. For developers, complex permitting procedures, particularly in the European Union and United States slowed project timelines in both the onshore and offshore wind power industries. Furthermore, in the offshore segment, elevated costs coupled with low contracted prices put pressure on developers and led to some notable and costly project cancellations. For wind power equipment providers (such as wind turbine manufacturers), lower short-term demand due to project delays and cancellations, elevated materials costs, and supply chain challenges weighed on the Fund’s performance. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 33.07% in China, 25.02% in Denmark and 18.34% in Canada. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Utilities at 51.56% and Industrials at 46.60%.

Global X Green Building ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Green Building Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to companies that are positioned to benefit from increased demand for buildings that reduce or eliminate negative impacts, and/or create positive impacts, on the natural environment (“Green Building”). Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “Green Building Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index. Green Building Companies are those companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from one or more of the following business activities, as determined by the Index Provider: (i) green building development; (ii) green building management; and (iii) green building technologies & materials.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.95%, while the Underlying Index increased 7.49%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.95 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $21.66 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from M/I Homes, Inc. and TopBuild Corp., which returned 107.59% and 91.97%, respectively. The worst performers were Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and CIFI Holdings (Group) Co. Ltd., which returned -44.44% and -34.27%, respectively.
The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period. Notably, demand for sustainable buildings outweighed supply in some major markets, such as the U.S. and Canada, amid more stringent regulations and concerns over risks from climate change. Additionally, buildings with green certifications were often able to command premiums over traditional buildings across major global cities. Green building service providers and technology producers, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system manufacturers, also saw robust demand amid growing momentum for more sustainable buildings. Furthermore, a stabilization in the cost of key building materials and labor contributed to positive performances for some building developers and owners. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 33.19% in the United States and 14.43% in Japan. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Real Estate at 58.92%, followed by Industrials at 33.47%.

Global X Metaverse ETF
Global X Metaverse ETF
Global X Metaverse ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Global X Metaverse Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to companies that are positioned to benefit from the development and commercialization of the metaverse. The metaverse is a set of virtual, three dimensional (“3D”), real-time rendered spaces, simulations, and platforms that can be experienced simultaneously by users regardless of the users’ physical location.
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 38.78%, while the Underlying Index increased 39.29%. The Fund had a net asset value of $19.20 per share on November 30, 2022 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $24.90 on November 30, 2023.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Meta Platforms Inc. Class-A and Nvidia Corp., which returned 177.01% and 176.47%, respectively. The worst performers were Keywords Studios Plc and NCsoft Corp., which returned -50.63% and -42.20%, respectively.
The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period amid substantial growth and progress in the underlying sub-segments and sub-industries of the metaverse, driven by the success of emerging hardware and the continued popularity of platforms. Increased demand for online gaming, blockchain technology and advancements in digital personalization led to growth and innovation opportunities in the metaverse industry. The industrial metaverse market advanced as organizations focused on the adaptation of virtual environments for a diverse set of use cases, including research and development, product development, monitoring and optimizing supply chains, and visualizing manufacturing operations, which helped boost productivity and operational effectiveness. Lastly, positive trends in the broader cryptocurrency market supported the growth prospects of companies involved in the creation and distribution of non-fungible tokens, further aiding the Fund’s performance. During the reporting period, the Fund had an average approximate stock exposure of 51.85% in United States, 20.57% in Japan, and 14.04% in China. By sector, it had the highest exposure to Communication Services at 67.69% and Information Technology at 24.28%.

Global X Carbon Credits Strategy ETF
Global X Carbon Credits Strategy ETF
Global X Carbon Credits Strategy ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE Global Carbon Futures Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, and the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index seeks to provide exposure to the most actively traded carbon credit futures that require “physical delivery” of emission allowances and that are issued under “cap and trade” regimes, as determined by ICE Data Indices, LLC, the provider of the Underlying Index. A cap and trade regime is a market-based mechanism that governments or regulatory bodies use to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.
From the inception of the fund through the period ending November 30, 2023 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 8.99%, while the Underlying Index decreased 6.09%. The Fund had a net asset value of $34.88 per share on May 24, 2023 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $31.67 on November 30, 2023.
The Fund recorded negative returns during the reporting period due to lower demand for carbon allowances and policy developments that led to a temporary increase in supply. In Europe, the European Commission confirmed plans to sell an increased amount of allowances over the next few years to support the transition away from reliance on fossil fuels. Though the UK proposed to tighten the overall limit of carbon emissions, it also proposed to distribute additional allowances until 2027, which resulted in a significant decrease in the price of carbon credits futures. Separately, California carbon allowances saw a rise in price due to legislation related to tightening supply and emissions caps. There has been uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment amidst concerns of a reduction in industrial output and recession fears. This resulted in weak demand during the reporting period which led to decreases in purchases in the voluntary carbon markets.

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
246
Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2023
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent mean between the quoted bid and asked prices, which approximates fair value (absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used).
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currencies 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.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (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, each Fund may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s security that is traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time the Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of 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
247
Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2023
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
the time at which the Funds calculate their NAVs, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration all relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less will be valued at their market value. Prices for most securities held by the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received upon the 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); and
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at NAV as of the measurement date or within the near term).
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement
248
Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2023
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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/Consolidated 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 November 30, 2023. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements by BNP Paribas are held by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) or the Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”), as appropriate, in their roles as Custodian to respective Funds (each, a “Custodian” and together, the “Custodians”), and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by the Custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Funds are prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral. 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/Consolidated Statement of Asset and Liabilities. Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify, or continue to qualify, as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements except as described below.
249
Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2023
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax positions in the current period, however Management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), and on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof.
If a Fund has foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.
As of and during the reporting period ended November 30, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations/Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the reporting period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.
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/Consolidated Statement 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.
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.
INVESTMENTS IN REITs – With respect to the Funds, dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from REIT investments using published

REIT reclassifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of these estimated amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES – Per the terms of an agreement with BBH, if a Fund for which BBH is Custodian has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge equal to the applicable BBH Base Rate plus 2.00%. Per the terms of an agreement with BNY Mellon, if a Fund for which BNY Mellon is Custodian has a cash overdraft, it will be charged interest at a rate then charged by BNY Mellon to its institutional custody clients in the relevant currency. Cash overdraft charges are included in custodian fees on the Statements of Operations/Consolidated Statement of Operations.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations/Consolidated 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.
FUTURES CONTRACTS — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, each Fund may use futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Fund’s returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, a futures contract involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.
Futures contracts shall be valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of the exchange on which they are traded. The daily settlement prices for financial futures are provided by an independent source.
Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities/Consolidated Statement of Asset and Liabilities. Refer to the Funds’ Schedule of Investments/Consolidated Schedule of Investments for details regarding open futures contracts as of November 30, 2023, if applicable.
CREATION UNITS —The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at NAV and only in large blocks of 10,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to the Fund’s Custodian, on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.

7. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The permanent differences primarily consist of foreign currency, reclassification of distributions, partnerships adjustments, distributions in excess, net operating losses, return of capital distributions, and sales of passive foreign investment companies. The permanent differences that are credited or charged to Paid In Capital and distributable earnings are primarily related to redemptions in-kind, net operating losses, and return of capital distributions and have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2023:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is due to differences in the timing of recognition of gains and losses on investments for tax and book purposes. The Funds’ net unrealized appreciation difference is attributable primarily to wash sales, mark-to-market treatment of passive foreign investment companies and partnership adjustments.
8. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The Funds may invest in companies focused on business activities in emerging economic themes. Such thematic companies typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. Thematic companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. These companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, capital expenditures and mergers and acquisitions, and there is no guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will be successful. These companies are also frequently dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. There can be no assurance these companies will be able to successfully protect their intellectual property to prevent the misappropriation of their technology, or that competitors will not develop technology that is substantially similar or superior to such companies’ technology. Such companies may be potential targets for cyberattacks, which can have a materially adverse impact on the performance of these companies. The emergent nature of many economic
271
Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2023
8. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
themes could result in increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may impede the growth of companies that develop and/or focus on such economic themes. Similarly, the collection of data from consumers and other sources is frequently a critical component in emerging economic themes which could lead to increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used. Finally, these companies may be involved in young, fast evolving industries with increased exposure to the risks associated with changes in applicable laws (including regulation, other rule changes, and related federal and state enforcement activities), as well as market developments, which may cause businesses to contract or close suddenly and negatively impact the value of these companies.
Special Risk Considerations of Investing in China – Variable Interest Entity Investments. For purposes of raising capital offshore on exchanges outside of China, including on U.S. exchanges, many Chinese-based operating companies are structured as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). In this structure, the Chinese-based operating company is the VIE and establishes a shell company in a foreign jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. The shell company lists on a foreign exchange and enters into contractual arrangements with the VIE. This structure allows Chinese companies in which the government restricts foreign ownership to raise capital from foreign investors. While the shell company has no equity ownership of the VIE, these contractual arrangements permit the shell company to consolidate the VIE’s financial statements with its own for accounting purposes and provide for economic exposure to the performance of the underlying Chinese operating company. Therefore, an investor in the listed shell company, such as certain of the Funds, will have exposure to the Chinese-based operating company only through contractual arrangements and has no ownership in the Chinese-based operating company. Furthermore, because the shell company only has specific rights provided for in these service agreements with the VIE, its abilities to control the activities at the Chinese-based operating company are limited and the operating company may engage in activities that negatively impact investment value. While the VIE structure has been widely adopted, it is not formally recognized under Chinese law and therefore there is a risk that the Chinese government could prohibit the existence of such structures or negatively impact the VIE’s contractual arrangements with the listed shell company by declaring them invalid. If these contracts were found to be unenforceable under Chinese law, investors in the listed shell company, such as the Fund, may suffer significant losses with little or no recourse available. If the Chinese government determines that the agreements establishing the VIE structures do not comply with Chinese law and regulations, including those related to restrictions on foreign ownership, it could subject a Chinese-based issuer to penalties, revocation of business and operating licenses, or forfeiture of ownership interest. In addition, the listed shell company’s control over a VIE may also be jeopardized if a natural person who holds the equity interest in the VIE breaches the terms of the agreement, is subject to legal proceedings or if any physical instruments for authenticating documentation, such as chops and seals, are used without the Chinese-based issuer’s authorization to enter into contractual arrangements
272
Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2023
8. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
in China. Chops and seals, which are carved stamps used to sign documents, represent a legally binding commitment by the company. Moreover, any future regulatory action may prohibit the ability of the shell company to receive the economic benefits of the Chinese based operating company, which may cause the value of a Fund’s investment in the listed shell company to suffer a significant loss. For example, in 2021, the Chinese government prohibited use of the VIE structure for investment in after-school tutoring companies. There is no guarantee that the government will not place similar restrictions on other industries.
These actions, any future sanctions or other actions, or even the threat of further sanctions or other actions, may negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Funds’ investments. For example, a Fund may be prohibited from investing in securities issued by companies subject to such sanctions. In addition, sanctions may require a Fund to freeze its existing investments, prohibiting such Fund from buying, selling or otherwise transacting in these investments.
Each Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds (other than the Global X Cannabis ETF) use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the underlying index in approximately the same proportions as in the underlying index. The Funds may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to their underlying index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to their shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its underlying index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the underlying index become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to the Funds but not to the underlying indexes).
Commodity related securities are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a substantial impact on these Funds.
Certain Funds may have investments in financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. LIBOR was intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. The publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates ceased to be published after June 2023. There
273
Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2023
8. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on the Funds and the instruments in which the Funds invest. There can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) or financial instruments in which the Funds invest that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. The regulations provide a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, by identifying benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. These regulations apply only to contracts governed by U.S. law, among other limitations. The Funds may have instruments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held by the Funds could result in losses to the Funds.
Economic conditions, such as volatile currency exchange rates and interest rates, political events, military action and other conditions may, without prior warning, lead to foreign government intervention (including intervention by the U.S. Government with respect to foreign governments, economic sectors, foreign companies and related securities and interests) and the imposition of capital controls (i.e., government measures designed to limit the flow of foreign capital in and out of the domestic economy) and/or sanctions, which may also include retaliatory actions of one government against another government, such as the seizure of assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions include the prohibition of, or restrictions on, the ability to transfer currency, securities or other assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions may also impact the ability of a Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Shares of a Fund, and cause a Fund to decline in value.
Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”) for a more complete description of risks.
9. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Each Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of its total assets. Security loans made pursuant to securities lending agreements with BBH and BNY Mellon are initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and 105% 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
274
Notes to Financial Statements/Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

9. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES (continued)
agreements, short-term investments, or U.S. Treasury obligations and is recognized in the Schedules of Investments/Consolidated Schedule of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities/Consolidated Statement of Asset and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities/Consolidated Statement of Asset and Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan.
Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements held in Global X FinTech ETF, Global X Internet of Things ETF, Global X Artificial Intelligence & Technology ETF, Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF, Global X Cannabis ETF, Global X Thematic Growth ETF, Global X Video Games & Esports ETF, Global X Cybersecurity ETF, Global X CleanTech ETF, Global X Blockchain ETF, Global X Solar ETF and Global X Wind Energy ETF are held by BNY and are designated as being held on the Fund’s behalf under a book-entry system. The Funds monitor the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Fund is prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (including in repurchase agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in repurchase agreements and short-term investments by the lending agent. The Funds do not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under the Securities Lending Agreement, which permits a Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.
The following is a summary of securities lending agreements held by the Funds, with cash collateral of overnight maturities and non-cash collateral, which would be subject to offset as of November 30, 2023.

Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2023, by correspondence with the custodians, transfer agent, and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited)
ETFs (such as the Funds) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of the shareholder’s investment in a Fund.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a Fund’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment returns. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from June 1, 2023 to November 30, 2023.
The table on the next page illustrates the Funds’ costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in a Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), requires that the board of trustees of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the ETF, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), consider on an initial basis and periodically thereafter (as required by the 1940 Act), at an in person meeting called for such purpose, the terms of each ETF’s investment advisory agreement and whether to approve entering into, or renewing, each agreement.
At a Board meeting of the Global X Funds (the “Trust”) held on May 19, 2023 (the “New Fund Board Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees, voting separately) considered and unanimously approved (i) the initial Investment Advisory Agreement (“New Investment Advisory Agreement”) for the Global X Defense Tech ETF (“New Fund”) and (ii) the initial Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust (“New Supervision and Administration Agreement”), on behalf of the New Fund, and Global X Management Company LLC, the Trust’s investment adviser (“Global X Management”). The New Investment Advisory Agreement and New Supervision and Administration Agreement are referred to collectively as the “New Fund Agreements.”
At a Board meeting of the Trust held on November 16, 2023, called for such purpose, the Board (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees, voting separately) considered and unanimously approved the continuation of (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement”) for each Fund included in this Annual Report (each, a “Renewal Fund” and referred to collectively as the “Renewal Funds”); and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust (“Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement”), on behalf of each Renewal Fund, and Global X Management. The Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement and the Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement are referred to herein as the “Renewal Agreements.”
In advance of the November 16, 2023 Board meeting, the Board (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees) and the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel requested (in writing) detailed information from Global X Management in connection with the Board’s consideration of the Renewal Agreements, and received and reviewed written responses from Global X Management, as well as supporting materials relating to those requests for information. Subsequent to the receipt of that information, the Independent Trustees requested additional information regarding certain changes in senior management of Global X Management, which was provided to them in advance of the November 16, 2023 Board meeting.
At the November 16, 2023 Board meeting, the Board approved the Renewal Agreements, for the period ending February 29, 2024, in order to ensure continuity of management of the Renewal Funds. However, the Independent Trustees also determined to postpone a vote on the renewal of the Renewal Agreements for a full annual period in order to provide the Independent Trustees with the opportunity to further consider certain changes in Global X Management’s senior leadership, which occurred approximately contemporaneously with
288
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (Continued)
the Board’s consideration of the Renewal Agreements, and in order to permit Global X Management to confirm certain information provided in advance of the November 16, 2023 Board meeting. Global X Management subsequently provided additional information to the Board in advance of a second meeting called for the purpose of considering the extension of the Renewal Agreements for a full year. At a Board meeting of the Trust held on December 21, 2023, the Trust’s Board, which was comprised entirely of Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for an aggregate one-year period ending November 30, 2024.
In the course of their consideration of the New Fund Agreements and Renewal Agreements, the Trust’s Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel and, in addition to meetings with management of Global X Management, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive sessions with their counsel.
NEW FUND AGREEMENTS
In determining to approve the New Fund Agreements for the New Fund, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the factors discussed in greater detail below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | the terms of the New Fund Agreements and the range of services proposed to be provided to the New Fund in accordance with the New Fund Agreements; |
| |
• | Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to the New Fund; |
| |
• | Global X Management’s responsibilities under the New Fund Agreements to, among other things, (i) manage the investment operations of the New Fund and the composition of the New Funds’ assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of its holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and the Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights appertaining to securities and assets held by the New Fund, (iv) select broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the New Fund when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of the New Fund, and the periodic updating of the registration statements, prospectuses, statements of additional information, and other reports and documents for the New Fund that are required to be filed by the Trust with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulatory or governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including Creation Units) of the New Fund by shareholders and new investors; |
| |
• | the nature, extent and quality of all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that are proposed to be provided by Global X Management |
289
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (Continued)
| or made available to the New Fund; and |
| |
• | the quality of Global X Management’s resources and personnel that would be made available to the New Fund, including Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded, at the New Fund Board Meeting, that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services proposed to be provided to the New Fund by Global X Management.
Performance
The Board determined that, because the New Fund had not yet begun investment operations as of the date of the New Fund Board Meeting, meaningful data relating to the investment performance of the New Fund was not available and, therefore, could not be a factor in approving the New Fund Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | Global X Management’s expected costs to provide investment management, supervision and administrative and related services to each New Fund; |
| |
• | the management fee (including the proposed investment advisory fee) (“Management Fee”) that was proposed to be borne by each New Fund under the respective New Fund Agreement for the various investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that the New Fund requires under a unitary fee structure (including the types of fees and expenses that are not included within the unitary fee and would be borne by the New Fund); and |
| |
• | the expected profitability to Global X Management, if any, from all of the services proposed to be provided to the New Fund by Global X Management and all aspects of the relationship between Global X Management and the New Fund. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the proposed Management Fee to be paid by each New Fund to Global X Management, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided, was reasonable and in the best interests of the New Fund’s shareholders.
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | comparative information with respect to the proposed Management Fee to be paid to Global X Management by each New Fund. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with comparative expense data for each New Fund, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated similar specialized and/or |
290
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (Continued)
| focused ETFs, and/or other similar registered funds. The Board considered Global X Management’s detailed explanation of the proposed fee structures of any New Fund that was above the average or median for the New Fund’s peer group; |
| |
• | the structure of the proposed unitary Management Fee (which includes as one component the proposed investment advisory fee for the New Fund) and the expected total expense ratios for the New Fund. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the New Fund was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratios (i.e., the total fees) of the New Fund and that the proposed Management Fee for each New Fund was set at a competitive level to make the New Fund viable in the marketplace; and |
| |
• | that, under the proposed unified Management Fee structure, Global X Management would be responsible for most ordinary expenses of the New Fund, including the costs of various third-party services required by the New Fund, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that each New Fund would bear other expenses not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded, at the New Fund Board Meeting, that the services to be received and the fees to be charged under the applicable New Fund Agreements were reasonable on a comparative basis.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows and whether the proposed unitary Management Fees for the New Fund reflected these economies of scale; |
| |
• | the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management intends to make in the New Fund in order to seek to assure that the New Fund is attractive to investors; and |
| |
• | that the proposed unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for each New Fund and its shareholders. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded, at the New Fund Board Meeting, that the proposed unitary Management Fees for the New Fund appropriately addressed economies of scale.
291
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (Continued)
Other Benefits
In considering each New Fund Agreement, in addition to the factors discussed above, the Board considered other benefits that may be realized by Global X Management as a result of its relationships with the New Fund. As a result, the Board concluded that, in the case of each New Fund, in the exercise of the Board’s business judgement, all information the Board considered supported approval of the applicable New Fund Agreements.
Conclusion
After full consideration of the factors above, as well as other factors that were instructive in their consideration, the Board, including all of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, concluded, in the exercise of its business judgement, that the New Fund Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the New Fund.
In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors above nor did the Board deem any one factor or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. Each member of the Board may have assigned different weights to the various factors.
RENEWAL AGREEMENTS
In determining to approve the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for the Renewal Funds, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the factors discussed in greater detail below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | the terms of the Renewal Agreements and the range of services that would continue to be provided to each Renewal Fund in accordance with the Renewal Agreements; |
| |
• | Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would continue to provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to each Renewal Fund; |
| |
• | Global X Management’s responsibilities under the Renewal Agreements, among other things, to: (i) manage the investment operations of the Renewal Funds and the composition of the Renewal Funds’ assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of their holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and the Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights relating to securities and assets held by the Renewal Funds, (iv) select broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Renewal Funds when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of the Renewal Funds, and the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statements of additional information, and other reports and documents for the Renewal Funds that are required |
292
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (Continued)
| to be filed by the Trust with the SEC and other regulatory and governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including Creation Units) of the Renewal Funds by shareholders and new investors; |
| |
• | the nature, extent and quality of all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that have been provided by Global X Management or made available to the Renewal Funds; and |
| |
• | the quality of Global X Management’s resources and personnel that would continue to be made available to the Renewal Funds, including Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Renewal Funds by Global X Management.
Performance
The Board considered the performance of each Renewal Fund. They examined the performance of the Renewal Funds for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods, as applicable. Also, the Board considered the total return and investments performance of the Renewal Funds relative to (i) the performance of unaffiliated comparable ETFs and/or other registered funds, which performance information is publicly available from such registered funds, as well as other third party sources; and (ii) the performance of pertinent indexes. The Board considered instances of under-performance and over-performance with respect to the competitor funds. The Board also considered the Renewal Funds’ tracking against their underlying indexes in absolute terms.
Based on these considerations and comparisons, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Renewal Funds did not adversely affect the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Renewal Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
The Board considered Global X Management’s cost to provide investment management, supervision and administrative and related services to the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board considered the management fee (“Management Fee”) that has been borne or is expected to be borne by the Renewal Funds under the Renewal Agreements for the various investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that the Renewal Funds require under a unitary fee structure (including the types of fees and expenses that are not included within the unitary fee and would be borne by the Renewal Funds).
In addition, the Board considered expected profitability to Global X Management, as applicable, from all services provided or expected to be provided to the Renewal Funds and all aspects of Global X Management’s relationship with the Renewal Funds. In connection with these considerations, Global X Management provided the Board with financial information regarding its operations and the services provided to the Renewal Funds and
293
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (Continued)
discussed with the Board its current and expected, as applicable, profitability with respect to the Renewal Funds.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the Management Fee rate paid by the Renewal Funds to Global X Management, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, was reasonable and in the best interests of the Renewal Funds’ shareholders.
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | comparative information with respect to the Management Fee paid to Global X Management by the Renewal Funds. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with comparative expense data for the Renewal Funds, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated similar specialized and/or focused ETFs and/or other comparable registered funds. The Board considered the Global X Management’s detailed explanation of the fee structures of any Renewal Fund that was above the average or median for its peer group; |
| |
• | the structure of the unitary Management Fee (which includes as one component the investment advisory fee for the Renewal Funds) and the current total expense ratios for the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the Renewal Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratio (i.e., the total fees) of the Renewal Funds and that the proposed Management Fees for the Renewal Funds were set at a competitive levels to make the Renewal Funds viable in the marketplace; and |
| |
• | that, under the unified Management Fee structure, Global X Management is responsible for most ordinary expenses of the Renewal Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the Renewal Funds, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that the Renewal Funds would bear other expenses not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the services received and the fees charged under the Renewal Agreements were reasonable on a comparative basis.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Renewal Funds grow and whether the unitary Management Fee for the Renewal Funds reflected these |
294
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (Concluded)
| economies of scale; |
| |
• | the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management has made and intends to continue to make in the Renewal Funds in order to seek to assure that the Renewal Funds are attractive to investors; and |
| |
• | that the unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for the Renewal Funds and their shareholders. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the unitary Management Fee for the Renewal Funds appropriately addressed economies of scale.
Other Benefits
In considering the Renewal Agreements, in addition to the factors above, the Board considered any other benefits realized by Global X Management as a result of its relationships with the Renewal Funds and concluded that, in the exercise of the Board’s business judgement, all information the Board considered supported approval of the continuation of the Renewal Agreements.
Conclusion
After full consideration of the factors above, as well as other factors that were instructive in its consideration, the Board, including all of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, concluded, in the exercise of its business judgement, that the Renewal Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Renewal Fund.
In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors above nor did the Board deem any one factor or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. Each member of the Board may have assigned different weights to the various factors.

Supplemental Information (UNAUDITED)
NAV is the price per Share at which the Funds issue and redeem Shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of a Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. A Funds’ Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Market Price of a Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
Further information regarding premiums and discounts is available on the Funds’ website at www.globalxetfs.com.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors.
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
The Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Registrant files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant's management (“Management”), including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
Within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Shareholder Report on Form N-CSR, Management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness. A material weakness (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Registrant's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The Global X Aging Population ETF, Global X Cannabis ETF and Global X Genomics & Biotechnology ETF did not design or maintain effective controls to address the valuation, and associated fair value leveling disclosures, of certain fair valued investments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Specifically, controls were not designed or maintained to evaluate reasonably available observable inputs related to the valuation of certain securities for which trading on a recognized exchange were halted. This material weakness did not result in a misstatement of previously issued financial statements. This material weakness resulted in audit adjustments, which adjustments are reflected in the financial statements of the Global X Cannabis ETF included herein, to increase Investments, at value and Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments for the year ended November 30, 2023. Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Management's Remediation Plan
Management is implementing enhancements to its disclosure controls and procedures to remediate the material weakness described above. In addition to the fair value committee meetings that presently occur on a monthly basis, management will perform a periodic, interim evaluation of all securities for which trading on a recognized exchange is halted to determine whether any additional reasonably observable inputs have become available, and, if available, such observable inputs will be considered in the valuation of those halted securities.
