Management Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) |
Global X MSCI China Energy ETF |
Global X MSCI China Energy ETF
The Global X MSCI China Energy ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI China Energy IMI Plus 10/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure the equity performance of the investable universe of companies in the Energy sector of the Chinese economy, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. It is comprised of securities of companies that have their main business operations in the Energy sector and generally includes companies whose businesses involve: oil, gas, consumable fuels, alternative energy and electricity production and distribution, and energy equipment and services.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 22.05%, while the Underlying Index decreased 21.33%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.43 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $7.79 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from COSCO SHIPPING Energy Transportation and Shaanxi Coal Industry, which returned 17.56% and 14.65%, respectively. The worst performers were China LNG Group and Honghua Group, which returned -68.56% and -59.14%, respectively.
During the reporting period, China imposed strict lockdown measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing many industries to a standstill. As economic activities experienced a 10% quarter-over-quarter contraction in the first quarter of 2020, demand for energy decreased significantly. Electricity demand dropped quickly in the first quarter of 2020 due to a decline in power demand but recovered completely by June, resulting in a demand recovery for electricity plant fuels. Continued expectations for lower oil prices also hurt certain Energy firms in the oil & gas segment. As a net importer of oil, China’s demand for oil gas has seen a strong recovery in the second half of 2020, with lower oil prices and China’s economic recovery from COVID-19 lockdowns resulting in a pick-up in domestic oil demand. As a result, China imported almost 13% of total global oil supplies from April to September. Although China remains a net importer of gas, the country continues is producing more liquified natural gas, potentially helping to offset some of the longer-term reliance on foreign oil producers.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure the equity performance of the investable universe of companies in the Materials sector of the Chinese economy, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. It is comprised of securities of companies that have their main business operations in the Materials sector and generally includes companies whose businesses involve: chemicals, metals and mining, and forestry and paper products.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 29.88%, while the Underlying Index increased 30.96%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.50 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $18.18 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Ganfeng Lithium and Inner Mongolia Junzheng Energy & Chemical Group, which returned 194.24% and 183.61%, respectively. The worst performers were China Zhongwang Holdings and Beijing SJ Environmental Protection and New Material, which returned -54.71% and -40.27%, respectively.
During the reporting period, COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented damage to the global economy, leading to widespread business closures, while disrupting factory production, global supply chains, and consumer demand. Significant disruptions in supply chains and a collapse of international trade had a severe impact on China’s Materials sector in the early months of the pandemic. Although industrial output suffered a severe contraction in the first quarter of 2020, it ultimately managed to rebound. Growth in exports and automobile and retail sales in China during the latter half of the year contributed significantly to the recovery of the Materials sector. China’s building materials segment also contributed, with its value-added output improving during the first three quarters of 2020. Despite the global slowdown, imports of unwrought copper and iron ore were strong as of October 2020.

It is comprised of securities of companies that have their main business operations in the Industrials sector and generally includes companies whose businesses involve: construction and materials, electronic and electrical equipment, industrial engineering, industrial transportation, and support services, and trading companies, shipbuilding and aerospace.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 5.57%, while the Underlying Index increased 6.41%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.92 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.43 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Contemporary Amperex Technology and Shenzhen Inovance Technology, which returned 278.28% and 171.55%, respectively. The worst performers were BEST, Inc and CITIC, which returned -55.23% and -42.87%, respectively.
During the reporting period, strict lockdowns imposed by China’s government to combat the COVID-19 pandemic temporarily paralyzed major swathes of the economy. As a result, the economy contracted 10% quarter-over-quarter in the first quarter of 2020. Worldwide lockdowns and the plummeting of international trade had a significant negative impact on China’s Industrials sector, resulting in a contraction in the first quarter of 2020. However, it improved gradually in the following months and recorded modest growth as lockdowns eased, workers returned to their jobs, and global trade recovered. Manufacturing output contributed significantly to this recovery. A rise in consumer confidence and a gradual recovery in retail sales, automobile sales, and exports further strengthened the recovery. As the economy recovered, industrial giants saw profit growth for the fourth straight month in August. While the automobiles and electronics industries recorded significant recoveries in profits, profit declines in the mining and raw materials industries continued to persist with weak global demand.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Global X MSCI Greece ETF |
Global X MSCI Greece ETF
The Global X MSCI Greece ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Greece Select 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Greece equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 39.39%, while the Underlying Index decreased 39.11%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.97 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.68 per share on October 31, 2020, following a 1:3 reverse share split on April 28, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Terna Energy S.A. and Public Power Corporation S.A., which returned 69.68% and 58.10%, respectively. The worst performers were GasLog Ltd and GasLog Partners LP, which returned -80.65% and -80.20%, respectively.
The Greek government acted swiftly in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic and imposed a strict lockdown in March that largely contained the spread of the first wave of the virus in Europe. Economic contraction, however, was inevitable. Growth came to a halt when the economy contracted -0.5% and -15.2% year-over-year in the first and second quarters, respectively. Lockdown measures had a negative impact on business activity, and global travel restrictions adversely affected the tourism-dependent economy. Tourism revenue in the peak months of July and August plummeted over -75% in comparison to 2019’s figures. This year’s services exports, which include receipts from tourism, contracted -48.3% in the second quarter. Industrial production also took a substantial hit in the early stages of the pandemic, but began to show signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2020. The Greek government announced a tax relief package and additional stimulus in September to boost jobs and the economy. The European Economic Recovery Plan, agreed on by European Union leaders, is also likely to bolster economic growth in the future.

The Global X MSCI Norway ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Norway IMI 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Norway equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index may include large-, mid- or small-capitalization companies.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 16.32%, while the Underlying Index decreased 16.13%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.69 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.59 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from NEL ASA and Europris ASA, which returned 119.02% and 100.50%, respectively. The worst performers were Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA and Borr Drilling Limited, which returned -98.70% and -90.85%, respectively.
Norway’s economy, like many other economies, plunged into recession in the first half of 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdown measures taken to combat the pandemic brought many industries to a standstill. As a result, economic growth plummeted -1.7% and -5.1% quarter over quarter in the first and second quarters of 2020, respectively. Unemployment rose from a pre-pandemic level of 3.7% in February to 6.7% by the end of October. The Norwegian government’s quarterly public spending exceeded its overall income for the first time in 25 years in the second quarter of 2020. This was mainly due to a sharp fall in tax revenue and the low price of crude oil. Private consumption tumbled -4.3% and -10.8% in the first and second quarters, respectively, mainly due to a contraction in household spending on the food, transport and recreation sectors. Despite its severe economic decline, Norway is facing a milder recession than most of Europe, as early and swift government measures helped control the spread of the virus.

The Global X DAX Germany ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the DAX® Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the segment of the largest and most actively traded companies - known as blue chips - on the German equities market. The Underlying Index contains the shares of among the 30 largest German companies in terms of liquidity and free-float market capitalization admitted to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the Prime Standard segment. Liquidity is defined as book order volume, which is the sum of the daily turnover over the prior 12-month period. The Prime Standard segment is a market segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange which includes companies with higher transparency and reporting standards than those of the General Standard, which is the minimum reporting standard currently required by European Union regulation. The 30 stocks contained in the Index generally represent about 80% of the market capitalization listed in Germany.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased by 6.53%, while the Underlying Index decreased by 6.22%. The Fund had a net asset value of $27.28 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.21 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Infineon Technologies AG and Deutsche Post AG, which returned 45.43% and 28.86% respectively. The worst performers were Wirecard AG and Bayer AG, which returned -98.83% and -36.67%, respectively.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led Germany into recession, and the economy is expected to experience the largest slump since World War II. The economy contracted -2.2% and -10.1% quarter on quarter in the first quarter and the second quarter of 2020, respectively, recording the largest declines since quarterly gross domestic product calculations for Germany were first recorded in 1970. As a leading exporter of manufactured goods, Germany was affected severely by disruptions to international trade caused by the COVID-19 health crisis. Exports and imports of goods and services as well as household expenditure and capital formation in machinery and equipment recorded large slumps. The government, however, raised its expenditure during the crisis to support the economy. Gross domestic product recoved and grew 8.2% quarter-over-quarter in the third quarter of 2020.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Portugal equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 18.37%, while the Underlying Index decreased 18.33%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.71 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $8.50 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Banco Espirito Santo SA and EDP Renovaveis SA, which returned 300.00% and 67.99%, respectively. The worst performers were Banco Comercial Portugues SA and Ramada Investimentos e Industria, SA, which returned -61.22% and -50.15%, respectively.
Portugal was one of the most affected countries on the European continent to be hit by the COVID-19 pandemic because of its heavy reliance on exports and tourism, both of which tumbled during the pandemic. Domestic demand tumbled by -10.60% and exports plunged -36.10%, while imports slumped by -28.10% in the second quarter of 2020. To tackle the crisis, the government announced a €3 billion package to provide loans to companies and other measures, such as easing layoff legislation and suspending mortgage payments, to help firms and families. As a result, domestic demand, exports and imports all showed signs of a recovery in third quarter of 2020, although gross domestic product shrank 5.80% year-on-year extending the recession for the third straight quarter. These broad economic challenges led to the Fund’s negative performance during the reporting period.

The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Colombia equity universe, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 36.91%, while the Underlying Index decreased 37.08%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.54 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.26 per share on October 31, 2020, following a 1:4 reverse share split on April 28, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from GRUPO ENERGIA BOGOTA S.A. E.S.P and Interconexion Electrica SA ESP, which returned 2.65% and -3.22%, respectively. The worst performers were Avianca Holdings SA Pfd and Grupo de Inversiones Suramericana SA Pfd, which returned -96.93% and -51.15%, respectively.
Colombia’s gross domestic product grew 1.1% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2020, but the economy contracted on a quarter-over-quarter basis from the fourth quarter of 2019. The economy showed signs of a slowdown in the first quarter of 2020 when the construction, entertainment and recreation, and mining sectors contracted -9.2%, -3.2% and -3.0% year-over-year, respectively, despite 6.8% and 2.6% year-over-year growth in agricultural and real estate activities, respectively. As the pandemic led to a deterioration in economic activities around the world, Colombia’s second-quarter gross domestic product plummeted -15.7% year-over-year. Government lockdown measures led to the shutdown of businesses and a significant increase in unemployment. While private consumption plummeted -15.9% year-over-year, fixed investment contracted significantly by -32.2% year-over-year. Construction and manufacturing activities further contracted -31.7% and -25.4%, respectively, during the second quarter of 2020. The government responded promptly and announced a fiscal package to stimulate the economy. The government also announced further assistance by providing special lines of credit and loan guarantees for firms severely affected by the pandemic. In addition, the central bank slashed the intervention rate by 2.5% between March and September, its lowest historical level. The central bank also introduced a range of measures to increase liquidity to buffer the economic downturn. Despite these efforts to stimulate economic growth, the challenging backdrop led to negative performance during the reporting period for Colombian equities.

Global X MSCI Argentina ETF
The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Argentina 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Argentina equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. The broad Argentina equity universe includes securities that are classified in Argentina according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Argentina and carry out the majority of their operations in Argentina.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 8.61%, while the Underlying Index increased 9.03%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.83 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.64 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from MercadoLibre, Inc. and Globant SA, which returned 132.79% and 93.66%, respectively. The worst performers were Phoenix Global Resources plc and YPF SA Sponsored ADR Class D, which returned -67.55% and -65.60%, respectively.
Argentina experienced its most severe economic contraction in 16 years, and the country entered a third year of recession, with the economy shrinking -4.6% and -19.8% year-over-year in the first and second quarters, respectively. As the country’s longstanding economic crisis deepened, the unemployment rate rose to 13.1% and the poverty rate expanded to 40.9% in the second quarter of 2020, a significant increase from 35.5% in the second half of 2019. Domestic demand plummeted -8.2% and -23.1% year-over-year in the first and second quarters, respectively, driven by lockdown measures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and low consumer confidence. Private consumption tumbled -6.3% and -22.3% year-over-year in the first and second quarters, respectively, amid elevated economic uncertainty. Fixed investment also fell a sharp -18.3% and -38.4% year-over-year over the first and second quarters, due to business closures and a contraction in investment in construction and machinery equipment. However, the Argentine government managed to restructure USD $65 billion worth of foreign debt in September. This created crucial fiscal breathing space with foreign creditors, despite the bumpy fiscal road ahead. In addition, the existing negative sentiment heading into 2020 meant that the economic challenges this year were less shocking to the market, already somewhat being priced-in. Therefore despite the aforementioned economic challenges, equity prices still increased over the reporting period.

Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF
The Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Pakistan Select 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Pakistan equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. The broad Pakistan equity universe includes securities that are classified in Pakistan according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Pakistan and carry out the majority of their operations in Pakistan.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.99%, while the Underlying Index increased 8.64%. The Fund had a net asset value of $6.58 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $27.40 per share on October 31, 2020, following a 1:4 reverse share split on April 28, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Maple Leaf Cement Factory Ltd and Honda Atlas Cars (Pakistan) Ltd, which returned 153.04% and 130.10% respectively. The worst performers were Pakistan Petroleum Limited and Oil & Gas Development Co. Ltd, which returned -29.25% and -25.05%, respectively.
Pakistan entered 2020 coming off a relatively slow growth rate of 1.9% in 2019, due to monetary and fiscal tightening implemented to control the country’s high current account and fiscal deficits. In the second quarter of 2020, a series of actions were taken to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, including partial lockdowns, restrictions on air travel, and the closure of non-essential businesses. Although these restrictions were gradually removed, disruptions to domestic demand and supply were inevitable, as households reduced consumption and businesses were unable to operate. Surging food inflation, rising energy prices, and a weaker rupee caused consumer price inflation (CPI) to rise from an average of 6.8% in fiscal year 2019 to an average of 10.7% in fiscal year 2020. The central bank’s policy rate was subsequently lowered to 7% in June from 13.25% in March to help stimulate growth. The central bank also implemented multiple measures to provide liquidity support to firms. While total exports contracted -7.5% amid weak global demand, imports were down -19.3%. This helped narrow the current account deficit from 4.8% of gross domestic product in fiscal year 2019 to 1.1% of gross domestic product in fiscal year 2020. Despite the global economic slowdown, remittances continued to increase and recorded over $2 billion for the fourth consecutive month as of September 2020.

The Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Nigeria Select 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Nigeria equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 17.25%, while the Underlying Index increased 19.96%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.23 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.25 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Flour Mills Nigeria Plc and FCMB Group Plc, which returned 100.10% and 98.54%, respectively. The worst performers were Unilever Nigeria PLC and Oando PLC, which returned -51.18% and -32.83%, respectively.
Nigeria managed to largely avoid the global economic slowdown that was felt by many countries around the world in the first quarter of 2020. The economy grew by 1.9% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2020, supported by growth in both oil and non-oil segments. The domestic oil industry recorded a real growth rate of 5.1% year-over-year, while the non-oil portions of the economy reported a real growth rate of 1.6% in the first quarter of 2020. The Information Technology, Financials and agricultural industries were major contributors to growth. Nigeria felt the impact of the pandemic in the second quarter of 2020 when its economy contracted 6.1% year-over-year. In the second quarter, both the oil and non-oil segments experienced sizeable contractions of -6.6% and -6.1% year-over-year, respectively. Extremely low oil prices globally and a fall in average daily oil production - due to low domestic and international demand - were especially challenging, as the country depends mainly on oil sales for government revenue and foreign exchange.

Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF
The Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Select Emerging and Frontier Markets Access Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to reflect equity performance of next emerging markets and frontier markets companies, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index. Next Emerging markets are defined as emerging market countries, excluding the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and excluding the most developed tier of emerging markets (South Korea and Taiwan). Frontier markets are those emerging market countries that generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 15.85%, while the Underlying Index decreased 15.16%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.09 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $16.46 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Hoa Phat Group JSC and Dino Polska S.A., which returned 71.54% and 52.50%, respectively. The worst performers were Redefine Properties and Alpha Bank AE, which returned -76.95% and -71.04%, respectively.
The COVID-19 pandemic during the reporting period brought the global economy to a standstill, as lockdown measures adopted to slow the spread of the coronavirus brought several businesses to a grinding halt. Like their developed market peers, many emerging and frontier markets suffered. External forces, like disrupted supply chains, collapsing international trade, and weakened global demand, played major roles. But internal challenges impacted developing economies as well, including feeble domestic demand, shuttered industrial output, and overrun public health care systems. As a result, many firms in these markets came under pressure. The volume of merchandise trade shrank 14.3% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter of 2020. The types of goods exported have been an important determinant of growth during the pandemic. Countries with a large share of technology-related exports have seen a quicker rebound in exports, while those relying heavily on energy or metals exports have endured lower prices and demand. Economic activities in the developed world also significantly influence low- and middle-income countries. Obtaining additional financing can be difficult for these countries, especially if investors are convinced debt levels are no longer sustainable. As a result, fiscal stimulus as a percentage of gross domestic product in these economies has been significantly smaller compared to advanced economies. However, the International

Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF |
Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF
The Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Nordic 30 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to reflect the equity market performance of companies in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, as defined by FTSE International Limited (“FTSE”), the provider of the Underlying Index (“Index Provider”). The starting universe of the Underlying Index is the FTSE All-World Index - Nordic Region. The Underlying Index tracks the equity performance of among the 30 largest and most liquid companies in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. The Fund’s investment objective and Underlying Index may be changed without shareholder approval.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 13.70%, while the Underlying Index increased 13.74%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.69 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.37 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Vestas Wind Systems A/S and Orsted, which returned 111.88% and 83.51%, respectively. The worst performers were Equinor ASA and DNB ASA, which returned -27.77% and -26.02%, respectively.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on Nordic countries broadly as their economies contended with continued fallout from the health crisis. Yet at the same time, increases in government spending and their largely services-based economies that could continue remotely during lockdown orders helped protect the economies versus others in Europe. Norway’s economy showed signs of a recovery following a 1.5% cut in interest rates. Denmark suffered a -7.4% decline in gross domestic product during the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2020. The Finnish economy showed unexpected resilience and recorded only a -4.5% quarter-over- quarter contraction in the second quarter, which was one of the smallest declines in the euro area. Sweden’s gross domestic product contracted by -8.3% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter, which was the worst contraction in the Nordic region during the reporting period. Sweden had among the laxest policies implemented to contain the virus. Although Swedish domestic economy showed some resilience, Swedish exports were negatively affected. In addition, Swedish households’ real disposable income decreased by 7.7% quarter-over-quarter during the second quarter of 2020. Despite weakness in Sweden, the relative strength of Nordic economies amid the pandemic led to positive equity returns over the reporting period.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the equity performance of the 40 largest and most liquid companies in five of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) nations: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, as defined by MSCI, Inc., the provider of the Underlying Index.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 24.82%, while the Underlying Index decreased 24.37%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.95 per share on October 31, 2019 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.66 per share on October 31, 2020.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Wilmar International Limited and Sime Darby Plantation Bhd, which returned 11.00% and -0.66%, respectively. The worst performers were PTT Global Chemical Plc NVDR and Kasikornbank Public Co. Ltd. NVDR, which returned -48.28% and -44.40%, respectively.
Southeast Asian economies experienced a steep economic contraction during the reporting period as the COVID-19 pandemic weighed on the region’s services sector and hampered export demand. Indonesia’s economy was hit by external and domestic demand shocks. Thailand’s economy suffered amid a drought in tourism, exports, and domestic activity. Thailand also experienced a contraction in household spending and fixed investment during the first half of 2020. The Philippines also entered into a recession as a result of the pandemic. The Philippine economy contracted in the third quarter as sharp declines in industry, services, household consumption, exports and gross capital formation presented headwinds. Similarly, Singapore’s economy suffered significantly during the first half of 2020 due to a collapse of economic activities. The construction and services sectors suffered the biggest decline in 2020. However, Singapore’s economy expanded 7.9% in the third quarter on a quarter-on-quarter basis, mainly due to a phased re-opening of the economy. The difficult economic situation for a previously fast-growing region hurt equity prices significantly during the reporting period.

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 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
| Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | |
| October 31, 2020 | |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent mean between the quoted bid and asked prices, which approximate fair value (absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used).
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less will be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held by the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using the Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ security that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security’s last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset values. 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 Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (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 net asset values, it may request that a Committee meeting be called.
| Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | |
| October 31, 2020 | |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. As of October 31, 2020, there were securities valued using the Fair Value Procedures of $3, $7,606, $13 and $63,854 in Global X MSCI China Communication Services ETF, Global X MSCI Greece ETF, Global X MSCI Portugal ETF and Global X MSCI Next Emerging & Frontier ETF, respectively. There were no other securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.
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 net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value 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 the year ended October 31, 2020, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
DUE TO/FROM BROKERS — Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties at October 31, 2020. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements by BNP Paribas are held by Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ custodian (“custodian”), and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by the custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the 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 Fund bears the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty 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 (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.

(2) | Net Amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default. |
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 conclusion 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 therof.
| Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | |
| October 31, 2020 | |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
If the Funds have foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of each Fund.
As of and during the year ended October 31, 2020, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as in income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the reporting period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
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.
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 Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with BBH, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of LIBOR plus 2.00%. Cash overdraft charges are included in custodian fees on the Statements of Operations.
CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at net asset value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of 50,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”)
| Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | |
| October 31, 2020 | |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to BBH on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day. If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, an additional variable fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:

3. RELATED PARTIES AND SERVICE PROVIDER TRANSACTIONS (continued)
The Adviser serves as the investment adviser and the administrator for the Funds. Subject to the supervision of the Board, the Adviser is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds and the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters and provides or causes to be furnished all supervisory, administrative and other services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds, including certain distribution services (provided pursuant to a separate distribution services agreement), certain shareholder and distribution-related services (provided pursuant to a separate Rule 12b-1 Plan and related agreements) and investment advisory services (provided pursuant to a separate Investment Advisory Agreement), under what is essentially an “all-in” fee structure.
For the Adviser’s service to the Funds, under the Supervision and Administration Agreement, each Fund pays a monthly fee to the Adviser at the annual rate below (stated as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund). In addition, the Funds bear other expenses, directly and indirectly that are not covered by the Supervision and Administration Agreement, which may vary and affect the total expense ratios of the Funds, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, custodian fees and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, acquired fund fees and extraordinary expenses (such as litigation and indemnification expenses).

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The following differences, primarily attributable to redemptions in-kind, sales of passive foreign investment companies, and foreign currency, have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal period ended October 31, 2020:

The preceding differences between book and tax cost are primarily due to mark to market treatment of passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in several countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The securities markets of emerging market countries are less liquid and subject to greater price volatility, and have a smaller market capitalization than the U.S. securities markets.
| Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | |
| October 31, 2020 | |
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
In certain countries, there may be fewer publicly traded securities and the market may be dominated by a few issuers or sectors. Issuers and securities markets in such countries are not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements or as comprehensive government regulations or issuers and securities markets in the U.S. 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 the underlying index in approximately the same proportions as the underlying index. 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 the underlying indexes).
Certain Funds may invest in commodity related securities, which are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on those securities.
The London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks, is used extensively in the United States and globally as a reference rate in various financing and commercial transactions. Plans are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rate and the impact of the transition from LIBOR on the financial markets generally, transactions that use LIBOR as a reference rate and financial institutions that engage in such transactions, including issuers of securities in which a Fund may invest. As such, the potential effect of a transition away from LIBOR on a Fund investments cannot yet be determined.
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
| Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | |
| October 31, 2020 | |
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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 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.
Recently the U.S. imposed economic sanctions, which take effect on January 11, 2021, on certain Chinese companies with ties to the Chinese military. These sanctions may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of these securities and may impair the ability of a Fund to buy, sell, receive or deliver those impacted securities, which may have a negative impact on the Fund’s investments. In addition, the Fund’s index providers may reconstitute the Fund’s underlying index to exclude the sanctioned securities, which could result in increased portfolio turnover and higher transactions costs.
Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”) for a more complete description of risks.
7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Funds may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Funds’ total assets. Security loans made pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BBH are initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and 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.
Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loans were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. In the event the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the
| Notes to Financial Statements (continued) | |
| October 31, 2020 | |
7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES (continued)
securities when due, the security lending agency agreement requires the lending agent to indemnify the Funds by replacing either the security or the security’s current market value to the Funds. The Funds could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. The Funds could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
As of October 31, 2020, the value of the securities on loan was $7,359,469, $166,956, $277,760, $3,532,659, $144,944, $530,714, $2,775,925, $5,901,951 and $256,430 for the Global X China Consumer Discretionary ETF, Global X China Financials ETF, Global X China Communication Services ETF, Global X MSCI Greece ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF, Global X MSCI Portugal ETF, Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, and Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF, respectively. The cash collateral received from securities on loan was $7,938,349, $176,011, $278,380, $3,726,527, $152,381, $3,084,626, $2,773,082, $6,234,546 and $268,257 for the Global X China Consumer Discretionary ETF, Global X China Financials ETF, Global X China Communication Services ETF, Global X MSCI Greece ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF, Global X MSCI Portugal ETF, Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, and Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF, respectively.

8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
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.

8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS (continued)
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees of the Trust and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.
9. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT
Effective April 28, 2020, each of the Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI Greece ETF and Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF executed a reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of markets on April 27, 2020. The effect of this transaction for each Fund was to divide the number of outstanding Shares of the Fund by the applicable ratio below, resulting in a corresponding increase in the NAV per Share. The capital share activity presented in the statement of changes in net assets for each of the years in the period then ended, and per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended, have been given retroactive effect to reflect these reverse share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of these transactions. The details of the reverse splits are as follows:
Fund Name | | Ratio |
Global X MSCI Colombia ETF | | 1:4 |
Global X MSCI Greece ETF | | 1:3 |
Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF | | 1:4 |
Effective March 16, 2017, the Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF executed a 1-for-4 reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of markets on March 15, 2017. The effect of this transaction was to divide the number of outstanding shares of the Fund by four, 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 these reverse share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of this transaction.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance includes additions and modifications to disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

| October 31, 2020 | |
11. 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 disclosures were required to the financial statements.
12. OTHER MATTER
The rapid and global spread of a highly contagious novel coronavirus respiratory disease, designated COVID-19, has resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets and severe losses; reduced liquidity of many instruments; restrictions on international and, in some cases, local travel; significant disruptions to business operations (including business closures); strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability; and widespread uncertainty regarding the duration and long-term effects of this pandemic. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced particularly large losses. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may result in a sustained economic downturn or a global recession, domestic and foreign political and social instability, damage to diplomatic and international trade relations and increased volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets. The COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments and negatively impact Fund performance. In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19, and measures taken to mitigate its effects, could result in disruptions to the services provided to the Funds by their service providers.

Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers: when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

| Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited) | |
| | |
ETFs such as the Funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio 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 incurred in the purchase or sale of share of the Fund on the secondary market.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from May 1, 2020 through October 31, 2020.
The table on the next page illustrates the Funds’ costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that a Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Funds, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Funds under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare a Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Funds had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

| Liquidity Risk Management Program (unaudited) | |
| | |
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Adviser has adopted, and the Board has approved, a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk. The Program is overseen by the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 29, 2020, the Trustees received a report from the Committee addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period from December 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. The Committee’s report noted that the Committee had determined that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s liquidity risk for the period covered by the report. The Committee’s report noted that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Committee’s report further noted that no material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
| Supplemental Information (unaudited) | |
| | |
NAV is the price per Share at which a Fund issues and redeems 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. The Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Market Price of a Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of 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.
