Global X MSCI Colombia ETF | $69 | 0.62% |
How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Colombia Select 25/50 Index (net) (“Secondary Index”). The Fund is passively managed and generally seeks to fully replicate the Secondary Index.
The Secondary Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Colombia equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc. ("MSCI"), the provider of the Secondary Index. The broad Colombia equity universe includes securities that are classified in Colombia according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Colombia and carry out the majority of their operations in Colombia. The Secondary Index also applies minimum liquidity thresholds as criteria for company inclusion.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2024 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 23.21%, while the Secondary Index increased 23.75%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.03 per share on October 31, 2023, and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.10 per share on October 31, 2024.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Grupo Argos S.A. and Tecnoglass Inc., which returned 111.90% and 111.35%, respectively. The worst performers were Canacol Energy Ltd Common Stock and Parex Resources Inc., which returned -59.06% and -47.55%, respectively.
During the reporting period, the Fund recorded positive performance driven by several key factors. The Colombian economy showed resilience, despite modest gross domestic product growth projected in 2024. This growth was supported by the government's efforts to control inflation and implement economic reforms. The Financial sector, which is well represented in the Fund, benefited from digital transformation and new revenue streams through the introduction of more fintech applications. The Utilities, Energy, and Materials sectors were supported by a push towards renewable energy sources, infrastructure investments, and sustainable practices, which also contributed to the Fund’s positive performance. Additionally, the Fund also benefited from the strong performance of certain consumer discretionary and industrial companies, which saw increased demand for their products during the reporting period. During the reporting period, by sector allocation, the Fund had the highest exposure to Financials at 38.61% and Utilities at 20.85%.

Global X MSCI China Consumer Discretionary ETF | $72 | 0.65% |
How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Consumer Discretionary 10/50 Index (net) (“Secondary Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Secondary Index.
The Secondary Index tracks the performance of companies in the MSCI China Index that are classified in the Consumer Discretionary sector, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the Secondary Index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2024 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 20.00%, while the Secondary Index increased 20.82%. The Fund had a net asset value of $17.72 per share on October 31, 2023 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.67 per share on October 31, 2024.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Pop Mart International Group Limited and Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited, which returned 232.20% and 146.55% respectively. The worst performers were Topsports International Holdings Limited and China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation Limited Class H, which returned -56.76% and -46.60%, respectively.
During the reporting period, the Fund recorded positive performance, driven by several factors. From a macroeconomic perspective, the People’s Bank of China reduced key policy rates, increased activity in the government bond markets, and lowered the reserve requirement ratio, all of which boosted liquidity and inspired improved confidence among both Chinese consumers and investors. Beyond macroeconomic factors, the rapid growth of e-commerce and online retail in China driven by rising disposable incomes and evolving consumer preferences directly benefited some constituents in the Secondary Index. The Chinese economy experienced a resurgence of international tourism and thriving domestic travel during the period which further contributed to the Fund's performance. The Fund's diversified exposure across various consumer discretionary sub-sectors, such as automobiles, household durables, and internet and direct marketing retail, helped mitigate risks. Overall, the Fund's focus on large- and mid-capitalization companies with strong market positions and financial stability allowed it to weather market volatility and deliver positive returns during the reporting period.

Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF | $73 | 0.65% |
How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE/ASEAN 40 Index (“Secondary Index”).
The Secondary Index tracks the performance of the 40 largest companies in five of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region’s markets: Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, as determined by FTSE International Limited ("FTSE"), the provider of the Secondary Index. To be eligible for inclusion in the Secondary Index, a company must be a member of the FTSE All World Country Index for Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia or the Philippines.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2024 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 23.18%, while the Secondary Index increased 24.04%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.07 per share on October 31, 2023 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $16.63 per share on October 31, 2024.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Delta Electronics (Thailand) Public Co. Ltd. NVDR and Gulf Energy Development Public Co. Ltd. NVDR, which returned 87.30% and 67.06% respectively. The worst performers were PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk and Siam Cement Public Co. Ltd. NVDR, which returned -24.42% and –20.28%, respectively.
During the reporting period, the Fund recorded positive performance. Most Southeast Asian economies have seen robust economic growth including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, which positively impacted the Fund's performance during the reporting period. The Financial sector, which comprises a significant portion of the Fund, benefited from high interest rates and improved lending activities, boosting the Fund’s overall returns. Among other positive factors, Bank Indonesia surprised the market as an early mover with a 25-basis point cut to the Bank Indonesia-Rate in September, making its rate-easing intentions clear. Meanwhile, the Government of Singapore has been actively reviewing regulations, cutting listing costs, and boosting liquidity with aims to attract investment. These factors combined to contribute to the Fund’s positive performance during the reporting period. During the reporting period, by sector, the Fund had the highest exposure to Financials at 60.43%, Industrials at 7.47%, and Communication Services at 7.43%. By country, the Fund had the highest exposure to Singapore at 36.20% and Indonesia at 23.84%.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Argentina 25/50 Index (“Secondary Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Secondary Index.
The Secondary Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Argentina equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Secondary Index (“Index Provider”), while including a minimum number of constituents. The broad Argentina equity universe includes securities that are classified in Argentina according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Argentina and carry out the majority of their operations in Argentina. The Secondary Index targets a minimum of 25 securities and 20 issuers at construction.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2024 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 92.36%, while the Secondary Index increased 93.40%. The Fund had a net asset value of $38.37 per share on October 31, 2023 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $72.79 per share on October 31, 2024.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Grupo Supervielle SA Sponsored ADR Class B and Grupo Financiero Galicia SA Sponsored ADR Class B, which returned 420.69% and 406.33% respectively. The worst performers were SSR Mining Inc and Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp., which returned -55.10% and -39.13%, respectively.
The Fund recorded positive returns during the reporting period, driven by several key factors within the Argentine market. The Argentine government’s implementation of economic reforms and improvements in fiscal policies increased domestic and foreign investor confidence, boosting the performance of Argentine companies. This reform led to the Argentine peso stabilizing against major currencies during the reporting period therefore reducing currency-related risks. Increased foreign direct investment in Argentine industries contributed to the growth of local businesses. These macroeconomic factors promoted a positive business environment in Argentina, particularly for banks and financial institutions, which were major contributors of growth for the Fund. During the reporting period, by sector, the Fund had the highest exposure to Consumer Discretionary at 28.44%, Financials at 17.26%, and Consumer Staples at 14.76%.

The real estate market's upward trajectory, fueled by foreign investment and urban regeneration projects, boosted related holdings in the Fund.

Global X DAX Germany ETF | $23 | 0.20% |
How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the DAX Index (“Secondary Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Secondary Index.
The Secondary Index tracks the segment of the largest and most actively traded companies – known as blue chips – on the German equities market. The Secondary Index is comprised of shares of the 40 largest and most liquid companies admitted to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the Prime Standard segment. The Secondary Index represents about 80% of the free-float market capitalization authorized in Germany.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2024 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 31.32%, while the Secondary Index increased 31.37%. The Fund had a net asset value of $26.28 per share on October 31, 2023, and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $33.69 per share on October 31, 2024.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Siemens Energy AG and Rheinmetall AG, which returned 360.54% and 81.73% respectively. The worst performers were Bayer AG and Porsche AG, which returned -37.12% and -17.04%, respectively.
During the reporting period, the Fund recorded positive performance. The European Central Bank’s decision to cut interest rates multiple times in 2024 has signaled to the market that inflation in the European Union, and by extension Germany, is increasingly under control. Despite a slight estimated decline of 0.1% in Germany's gross domestic product growth for 2024, investor sentiment was boosted by positive forward-looking forecasts, which helped the performance of the Fund during the reporting period. Additionally, real wages in Germany improved while the German government’s deficit decreased, providing further relief and confidence to the German consumer and positively impacting companies held by the Fund. Further, temporary cuts in electricity taxes benefited industrial and manufacturing companies
in Germany. Companies in the Technology sector, including those held by the Fund, benefited from continued digitalization efforts across various industries including infrastructure and education. During the reporting period, by sector, the Fund had the highest exposure to Industrials at 25.10% and Financials at 19.43%.

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 October 31, 2024, the Trust had one hundred portfolios, ninety-seven 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 DAX Germany ETF, and Global X MSCI Vietnam ETF (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund 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 11 in the Notes to Financial Statements.
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.

October 31, 2024
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 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
50
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2024
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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:
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
51
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2024
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at NAV as of the measurement date or within the near term)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For details of the investment classification, reference the Schedule of Investments.
The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
DUE TO/FROM BROKERS — Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties as of October 31, 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 each Fund’s 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.
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,
52
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2024
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 October 31, 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.
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
53
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2024
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.

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 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 October 31, 2024, there were no foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currency futures contracts held by the Funds.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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. 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. 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 October 31, 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 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 (each, an “Authorized Participant”) 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

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 permanent difference are primarily attributable to redemptions in-kind and sales and mark to market of passive foreign investment companies.
The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the periods ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

The preceding differences between book and tax cost are primarily due to wash sales and mark-to-market treatment of passive foreign investment companies.
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.
62
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2024
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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 (also known as a secondary 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.
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. 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
63
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2024
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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 existing investments, prohibiting such Fund from buying, selling or otherwise transacting in these investments.
64

October 31, 2024
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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 each Fund’s 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 each Fund’s 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 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 October 31, 2024.
| | Gross Amount of Recognized Assets (Value of Securities on Loan) | | | Value of Cash Collateral Received(1) | | | Value of Non-Cash Collateral Received(1) | | | Net Amount | |

9. 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 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 per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended, have been given retroactive effect to reflect
67
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

9. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT (continued)
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 |
10. 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.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Concluded)
October 31, 2024
11. MERGER (continued)
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. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), Segment Reporting (“Topic 280”). ASU 2023-07 clarifies the guidance in Topic 280, which requires public entities to provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items. The guidance requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually and also applies to public entities with a single reportable segment. Entities are permitted to disclose more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss if such measures are used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to allocate resources and assess performance, as long as at least one of those measures is determined in a way that is most consistent with the measurement principles used to measure the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the implications, if any, of the additional requirements and their impact on a Fund’s financial statements.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have been evaluated by management regarding the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional adjustments were required to the financial statements.
