As permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ (defined below) shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank). Instead, shareholder reports will be available on the Funds’ website (www. globalxetfs.com/explore), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Funds electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future Fund shareholder reports in paper free of charge. Please contact your financial intermediary to inform them that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of Fund shareholder reports and for details about whether your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary.
Table of Contents
Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Shares may only be redeemed directly from a Fund by Authorized Participants, in very large creation/redemption units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

The Funds’ Form N-PORT is available on the Commission’s website at https://www.sec.gov, and may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

1. ORGANIZATION
Global X Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust formed on March 6, 2008. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. As of April 30, 2024, the Trust had ninety-seven portfolios, ninety-one of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF, Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, Global X MSCI Greece ETF, Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF, Global X DAX Germany ETF, and Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund (except for the Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF) has elected non-diversified status under the 1940 Act.
On August 4, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) providing for the tax-free reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Global X MSCI Norway ETF (the “Acquired Fund”) with and into the Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (the “Acquiring Fund”), each a separate series of the Trust (together, the “Combined Fund”). The Agreement provided for: (1) the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for (A) the issuance of the shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund (collectively, the “Acquiring Fund Shares” and each, an “Acquiring Fund Share”) to the Acquired Fund, and (B) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund on the closing date of the Reorganization (the “Closing Date”), and (2) the distribution by the Acquired Fund, on or promptly after the Closing Date as provided in the Agreement, of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Effective as of the close of business on October 29, 2021, the Acquired Fund was reorganized into the Combined Fund, and the Combined Fund was renamed the Global X MSCI Norway ETF. The Acquiring Fund is the legal surviving entity in the Reorganization, while the Acquired Fund is the accounting survivor or continuing portfolio for purposes of financial and performance history of the Combined Fund. See Note 10 in the Notes to Financial Statements.
On December 24, 2018, the shareholders of the Horizons DAX Germany ETF (the “Predecessor Fund”) approved a proposed agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Reorganization”) that provided for (a) the transfer of all the assets to the Global X DAX Germany ETF (the “Germany Fund”) and the assumption of certain of the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund; (b) the issuance of shares of the Germany Fund to the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund; and (c) the liquidation and termination of the Predecessor Fund. The effective date of the Reorganization was December 24, 2018. The Germany Fund had no operations prior to the Reorganization. The Predecessor Fund had substantially similar investment objectives, investment strategies, policies and restrictions as those of the Germany Fund. The financial statements and financial highlights include the financial information of the Predecessor Fund through December 21, 2018.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
USE OF ESTIMATES — The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
RETURN OF CAPITAL ESTIMATES — Distributions received by the Funds from underlying master limited partnership (“MLP”) and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) investments generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from the MLPs, REITs and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”)), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent mean between the quoted bid and asked prices, which approximates fair value (absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used).
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates as of the reporting date. The exchange rates used by the Trust for valuation are captured as of the New York or London close each day.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and approved by the Board. 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
58
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
the Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ security that is traded outside the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that each Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate their NAVs, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration all relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
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:
59
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at NAV as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost); and
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, and fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at NAV as of the measurement date or within the near term)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For details of the investment classification, reference the Schedule of Investments.
The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
DUE TO/FROM BROKERS — Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties as of April 30, 2024. 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 are held by The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”), the Funds’ custodian (“Custodian”), and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by the Custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on
60
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
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. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements except as described below.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax positions in the current period; however, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), and on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof.
If a Fund has foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.
As of and during the reporting period ended April 30, 2024, 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 an income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the reporting period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
The Funds file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The Statements of Operations includes tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts is included in interest income.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
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.

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — To the extent consistent with its investment policies, each Fund may invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts. No Fund, however, expects to engage in currency transactions for speculative purposes or for the purpose of hedging against declines in the value of a Fund’s assets that are denominated in a foreign currency. A Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts to facilitate local settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with its distributions to shareholders. Foreign currency exchange contracts involve an obligation to purchase or
62
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
sell a specified currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the values of portfolio securities but rather allow a Fund to establish a rate of exchange for a future point in time. Foreign currency futures contracts involve an obligation to deliver or acquire the specified amount of a specific currency, at a specified price and at a specified future time. Such futures contracts may be settled on a net cash payment basis rather than by the sale and delivery of the underlying currency. A Fund may incur costs in connection with forward foreign currency exchange and futures contracts and conversions of foreign currencies and U.S. dollars. The net realized gain or loss on forward foreign currency contracts is reflected in the Statements of Operations and the net unrealized gains (losses) are included as a component of the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Operations. As of April 30, 2024, there were no foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts held by the Funds.
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. Refer to the Funds’ Schedule of Investments for details regarding open futures contracts as of April 30, 2024, if applicable.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net investment income and net realized
63
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with 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.
CREATION UNITS —The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at net asset value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of 10,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to the Funds’ Custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, an additional variable fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:
Creation Unit Shares | Creation Fee | Value at April 30, 2024 | Redemption Fee | |||||||||||||

6. 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 tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in several countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments, the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The securities markets of emerging market countries are less liquid, subject to greater price volatility, and have a smaller market capitalization than the U.S. securities markets.
In certain countries, there may be fewer publicly traded securities and the market may be dominated by a few issuers or sectors. Issuers and securities markets in such countries are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements or as comprehensive government regulations as issuers and securities markets in the United States. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of emerging market country issuers may not reflect their financial position or results of operations in the same manner as financial statements for U.S. issuers.
Substantially less information may be publicly available about emerging market country issuers than is available about issuers in the United States.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income, gains earned or gains repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of an underlying index in approximately the same proportions as the underlying index. A representative sampling strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities (including indirect investments through underlying ETFs) that collectively has an investment profile similar to an underlying index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. Each Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to its underlying index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to its shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its underlying index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the underlying index become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to a Fund but not its underlying index).
Certain Funds may invest in commodity related securities, which are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on those securities.
72
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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 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.
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.
73
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
exchanges, many Chinese-based operating companies are structured as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). In this structure, the Chinese-based operating company is the VIE and establishes a shell company in a foreign jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. The shell company lists on a foreign exchange and enters into contractual arrangements with the VIE. This structure allows Chinese companies in which the Chinese government restricts foreign ownership to raise capital from foreign investors. While the shell company has no equity ownership of the VIE, these contractual arrangements permit the shell company to consolidate the VIE’s financial statements with its own for accounting purposes and provide for economic exposure to the performance of the underlying Chinese operating company. Therefore, an investor in the listed shell company, such as certain of the Funds, will have exposure to the Chinese-based operating company only through contractual arrangements and has no ownership in the Chinese-based operating company. Furthermore, because the shell company only has specific rights provided for in these service agreements with the VIE, its abilities to control the activities at the Chinese-based operating company are limited and the operating company may engage in activities that negatively impact investment value. While the VIE structure has been widely adopted, it is not formally recognized under Chinese law and therefore there is a risk that the Chinese government could prohibit the existence of such structures or negatively impact the VIE’s contractual arrangements with the listed shell company by declaring them invalid. If these contracts were found to be unenforceable under Chinese law, investors in the listed shell company, such as a Fund, may suffer significant losses with little or no recourse available. If the Chinese government determines that the agreements establishing the VIE structures do not comply with Chinese law and regulations, including those related to restrictions on foreign ownership, it could subject a Chinese-based issuer to penalties, revocation of business and operating licenses, or forfeiture of ownership interest. In addition, the listed shell company’s control over a VIE may also be jeopardized if a natural person who holds the equity interest in the VIE breaches the terms of the agreement, is subject to legal proceedings or if any physical instruments for authenticating documentation, such as chops and seals, are used without the Chinese-based issuer’s authorization to enter into contractual arrangements in China. Chops and seals, which are carved stamps used to sign documents, represent a legally binding commitment by the company. Moreover, any future regulatory action may prohibit the ability of the shell company to receive the economic benefits of the Chinese-based operating company, which may cause the value of a Fund’s investment in the listed shell company to suffer a significant loss. For example, in 2021, the Chinese government prohibited use of the VIE structure for investment in after-school tutoring companies. There is no guarantee that the government will not place similar restrictions on other industries.
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
74
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
existing investments, prohibiting such Fund from buying, selling or otherwise transacting in these investments.
Also, if an affected security is included in a Fund’s underlying index, such Fund may, where practicable, seek to eliminate its holdings of the affected security by employing or augmenting its representative sampling strategy to seek to track the investment results of the underlying index. The use of (or increased use of) a representative sampling strategy may increase such Fund’s tracking error risk. Actions barring some or all transactions with a specific company will likely have a substantial, negative impact on the value of such company’s securities. These sanctions may also lead to changes in a Fund’s underlying index. A Fund’s index provider may remove securities from the underlying index or implement caps on the securities of certain issuers that have been subject to recent economic sanctions. In such an event, it is expected that a Fund will rebalance its portfolio to bring it in line with its respective underlying index as a result of any such changes, which may result in transaction costs and increased tracking error.
Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”) for a more complete description of risks.
8. 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 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 agreements, short-term investments or U.S. Treasury obligations, and is recognized in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan.
Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements held in Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF, Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF and Global X MSCI Argentina ETF are held by BNY Mellon 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
75
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
8. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES (continued)
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 Statement 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 April 30, 2024.

9. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown, however, the Funds have not had prior gains or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”) and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.
10. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT
Effective April 28, 2020, each of the Global X MSCI Colombia ETF and Global X MSCI Greece ETF executed a reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of

10. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT (continued)
markets on April 27, 2020. The effect of this transaction for each Fund was to divide the number of outstanding Shares of the Fund by the applicable ratio below, resulting in a corresponding increase in the NAV per Share. The capital share activity presented on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for each of the years in the period then ended, and per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended, have been given retroactive effect to reflect these reverse share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of these transactions. The details of the reverse splits are as follows:
Ratio | |
Global X MSCI Colombia ETF | 1:4 |
Global X MSCI Greece ETF | 1:3 |
11. MERGER
Effective October 29, 2021, the Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (the “Acquiring Fund”) acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Global X MSCI Norway ETF (the “Acquired Fund”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by the Board of Directors on August 4, 2021. Effective as of the close of business on October 29, 2021, the Acquired Fund was reorganized into the Acquiring Fund, each a separate series of the Trust (together, the “Combined Fund”) and the Combined Fund was renamed Global X MSCI Norway ETF. The Acquiring Fund is the legal surviving entity in the Reorganization, while the Acquired Fund is the accounting survivor or continuing portfolio for purposes of financial and performance history of the Combined Fund.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange as follows:
3,980,000 shares of the Acquired Fund, with net assets of $60,723,560 and including $673,023 of net unrealized depreciation for 1,896,973 shares of the Acquiring Fund with net assets of $43,214,538. For every 1 share of the Acquired Fund, shareholders received 0.4766 shares of the Acquiring Fund. Immediately following the acquisition, the Combined Fund held 3,246,971 shares with net assets of $103,938,098.
Assuming that the reorganization had been completed on November 1, 2020, the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021 would have been as follows:
Net investment income | $ | 2,153,445 | ||
Net Realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments | 26,735,503 | |||
Net increase (decrease) in net assets from operations | $ | 28,888,948 |

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 19, 2024, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of the Global X Funds (“Trust”) voted to approve the orderly liquidation and termination of the Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF (“Fund”) based upon the recommendation of Global X Management Company LLC (“Adviser”), the Trust’s investment adviser.
As of the close of regular trading on NYSE Arca Inc. (“NYSE Arca”) on May 17, 2024 (“Closing Date”), shares of the Fund ceased trading on the NYSE Arca and were closed to purchases by investors.
On or about May 24, 2024, the Fund liquidated its assets and distributed cash pro rata to all remaining shareholders who had not previously redeemed their shares in an amount equal to the net asset value of their shares as of the close of business on that date.
The Funds have been evaluated by management regarding the need for additional disclosures (other than what is disclosed in the preceding paragraphs) and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
ETFs (such as the Funds) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of the shareholder’s investment in a Fund.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a Fund’s gross income and directly reduce 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 November 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024.
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 a Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Funds had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), requires that the board of trustees of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the ETF, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), consider on an initial basis and periodically thereafter (as required by the 1940 Act), at an in person meeting called for such purpose, the terms of each ETF’s investment advisory agreement and whether to approve entering into, or renewing, each agreement.
At a Board meeting of the Trust held on November 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 Semi-Annual Report (each, a “Renewal Fund” and together, the “Renewal Funds”); and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement (“Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement”), each between the Trust, 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 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 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 Renewal Agreements, the Trust’s Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel and, in addition to meetings
82
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)
with management of Global X Management, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive sessions with their counsel.
RENEWAL AGREEMENTS
In determining to approve the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for the Renewal Funds, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the factors discussed in greater detail below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• the terms of the Renewal Agreements and the range of services that would continue to be provided to each Renewal Fund in accordance with the Renewal Agreements;
• Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would continue to provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to each Renewal Fund. In considering the key personnel, the Board considered the departures of certain key executives of Global X Management and their replacements, and the plan for identifying a permanent replacement for Global X Management’s chief executive officer;
• Global X Management’s responsibilities under the Renewal Agreements, among other things, to: (i) manage the investment operations of the Renewal Funds and the composition of the Renewal Funds’ assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of their holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and the Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights relating to securities and assets held by the Renewal Funds, (iv) select broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Renewal Funds when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of the Renewal Funds, and the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statements of additional information, and other reports and documents for the Renewal Funds that are required to be filed by the Trust with the SEC and other regulatory and governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including Creation Units) of the Renewal Funds by shareholders and new investors;
• the nature, extent and quality of all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that have been provided by Global X Management or made available to the Renewal Funds; and
• the quality of Global X Management’s resources and personnel that would continue to be made available to the Renewal Funds, including Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel. In evaluating key personnel, the Board considered the qualifications of Global X
83
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)
Management’s chief operating officer and interim chief executive officer, and considered Global X Management’s plans for hiring a permanent chief executive officer.
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 overperformance with respect to the competitor funds. The Board also considered the Renewal Funds’ tracking against their underlying indexes in absolute terms, and in the case of passively managed ETFs, considered their tracking against their underlying indexes.
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 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.
84
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• comparative information with respect to the Management Fee paid to Global X Management by the Renewal Funds. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with comparative expense data for the Renewal Funds, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated similar specialized and/or focused ETFs and/or other comparable registered funds. The Board considered the Global X Management’s detailed explanation of the fee structures of any Renewal Fund that was above the average or median for its peer group;
• the structure of the unitary Management Fee (which includes as one component the investment advisory fee for the Renewal Funds) and the current total expense ratios for the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the Renewal Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratio (i.e., the total fees) of the Renewal Funds and that the proposed Management Fees for the Renewal Funds were set at a competitive levels to make the Renewal Funds viable in the marketplace; and
• that, under the unified Management Fee structure, Global X Management is responsible for most ordinary expenses of the Renewal Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the Renewal Funds, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that the Renewal Funds would bear other expenses not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the services received and the fees charged under the Renewal Agreements were reasonable on a comparative basis.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Renewal Funds grow and whether the unitary Management Fee for the Renewal Funds reflected these economies of scale;
• the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management has made and intends to continue to make in the Renewal Funds in order to seek to assure that the Renewal Funds are attractive to investors; and
• that the unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for the Renewal Funds and their shareholders
85
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited) (Concluded)
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.
86
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 the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. A Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or 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.
