1. ORGANIZATION
The Global X Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware Statutory Trust formed on March 6, 2008. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with eighty-seven portfolios as of April 30, 2012. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Pure Gold Miners ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Aluminum ETF, Global X Uranium ETF, Global X Lithium ETF, Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF and Global X S&P/TSX Venture 30 Canada ETF (the “Funds”). Each Fund is non-diversified.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
USE OF ESTIMATES — 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, and could have a material impact to the Funds.
SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for 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 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 (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 may be valued at their 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 in 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 Directors (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 Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SECURITY VALUATION (continued)
de-listed from a national 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. 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 April 30, 2012, there were $764,976 and $10,444 of fair valued securities in the Global X Silver Miners ETF and Global X Pure Gold Miners ETF, respectively. There were no other securities priced using the fair value procedures.
For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security's last trade and the time at which the Fund’s calculated their net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Funds calculated net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If Global X Management Company LLC (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 net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. In addition, the Funds’ Sub-administrator, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SEIGFS”), monitors price movements among certain selected indices, securities and/or baskets of securities that may be an indicator that the closing prices received earlier from foreign exchanges or markets may not reflect market value at the time the Funds calculate net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index or security exceed levels established by the Sub-administrator, the Sub-administrator notifies the Adviser that such limits have been exceeded. In such event, the Adviser makes the determination whether a Committee meeting should be called based on the information provided.
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 to sell 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:
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 Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, fair value of investments for which the Fund does 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 period ended April 30, 2012 there has been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
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.
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 provision 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), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
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 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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)
realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange 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 realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem shares (“Shares”) at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of Shares, (each block of Shares for a Fund is called a “Creation Unit” or multiples thereof). Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants“) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor 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 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, a higher Transaction Fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:
| | Creation | | | Transaction | | | | | | Redemption | |

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 tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the last period ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

For Federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards represent realized losses of the Funds that may be carried forward for a maximum period of eight years and applied against future gains. As of October 31, 2011, the Funds that had capital loss carryforwards are listed below.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, Global X Copper Miners ETF utilized $10,213 of capital loss carry forwards to offset capital gains.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be used prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, preenactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:
| | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | | |
Global X Funds | | Loss | | | Loss | | | Total | |
Global X Gold Explorers ETF | | $ | 130,976 | | | | - | | | $ | 130,976 | |

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 countries are less liquid and 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 issues 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 are issuers and securities markets in the U.S. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of emerging 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 country issuers than is available about issuers in the United States.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index. The Funds may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to its Underlying Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to its shareholders, such as when
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
April 30, 2012 (unaudited) |
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (concluded)
there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its Underlying Index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the Underlying Index become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to the Funds but not the Underlying Indexes).
Commodity related securities, are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on these Funds.

At April 30, 2012, the total Shares outstanding that were held by Authorized Participants were as follows. The Authorized Participants have entered into an agreement with the Funds’ Distributor.

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.
8. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Funds may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Funds’ total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments. 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. 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 April 30, 2012, the value of securities on loan was $12,244,009, $590,625, $36,433,234 and $9,517,176 for the Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Uranium ETF and Global X Lithium ETF, respectively.

9. 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 arrangements 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.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)”. ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not materially affect the Funds’ financial condition or results of operations.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Funds have been evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosure or adjustments were required to the financial statements as the date the financial statements were issued.
Subsequent to half-year end, on May 25, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (including the Independent Trustees) initially considered and unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Supervision and Administration Agreement for the Global X Top Guru Holdings Index ETF, Global X Top Value Guru Holdings Index ETF, and Global X Top Activist Investor Holdings Index ETF.
Subsequent to half-year end, on May 25, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust determined that it is in the best interest of the Global X S&P/TSX Venture 30 Canada ETF to modify the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and to change the Fund’s name. The Fund will be renamed the Global X Junior Miners ETF and will pursue the investment objective and strategies outlined below. These changes are scheduled to go into effect on or about September 3, 2012.
The Fund currently seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P/TSX Venture 30 Index. The S&P/TSX Venture 30 Index is a free-float adjusted, modified capitalization-weighted index designed to provide exposure to the 30 most liquid securities on the TSX Venture Exchange. The TSX Venture exchange is Canada’s junior listings market for emerging companies. Currently the Fund is mostly comprised of small-capitalization companies based in Canada that operate within the mining and energy sectors. Upon implementation of the change, the Fund’s new objective will be to provide

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (continued)
investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Junior Miners Index. The Solactive Junior Miners Index is designed to track the market performance of small-capitalization mining companies globally, and therefore the geographic scope of the Fund will expand accordingly. The Fund intends to focus its investments on small-capitalization mining companies including those engaged in mining, producing, smelting, and/or refining materials including but not limited to gold, silver, copper, aluminum, titanium and nickel.
This change is intended to position the Fund to benefit from the growth of commodity consumption around the world by investing in companies that are key elements of the commodity supply chain. This change also allows the Fund to diversify its investments geographically, although the change will increase the Fund’s exposure to emerging markets which may increase the risk of the Fund’s investments. These risks will be described in an updated Summary Prospectus and Statutory Prospectus that will be available at the time the changes described herein become effective.
The Fund also expects to gain certain cost efficiencies associated with the change in investment objective, and upon implementation of the change the total annual expense ratio of the Fund will be reduced from 0.75% to 0.69%.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited) |
|
All Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
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 your 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.
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in 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 your 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 “Expense Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) |
|
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), requires that each mutual fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of those trustees who are not "interested persons" of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), consider on an initial basis and periodically thereafter (as required by the 1940 Act), at an in person meeting called for such purpose, the terms of each fund’s investment advisory agreement and approve each agreement with such changes as the Independent Trustees deem appropriate.
At a quarterly Board meeting held on November 11, 2011, the Board of Trustees (including the Independent Trustees) considered and unanimously approved the continuation of (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement ("Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement") for each Fund covered by this Semi-Annual Report and other series of the Trust (each a "Renewal Fund") and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust ("Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement"), on behalf of each Renewal Fund, and Global X Management Company ("Global X Management"). The Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement and the Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement are referred to herein as the "Renewal Agreements."
In advance of the Board meeting, the Board (including the Independent Trustees) requested (in writing) detailed information from Global X Management in connection with their consideration of the Renewal Agreements and received and reviewed written responses from Global X Management and supporting materials relating to those requests for information.
In determining to approve the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for each Renewal Fund, the Board concluded that the Renewal Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of each Renewal Fund and its shareholders, respectively. In approving the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for each Renewal Fund, the Board considered among other things the following categories of material factors. In addition, the Board based their determinations regarding the continuation of each of the Renewal Fund Agreements on their consideration of all of the materials provided to them by Global X Management and each Renewal Fund’s other service providers throughout the year.
In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed below nor did the Board deem any one factor or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. Certain factors considered by the Board (including the Independent Trustees) with respect to the approval of the continuation of the Renewal Agreements are discussed separately below.
RENEWAL AGREEMENTS
Nature, extent and quality of services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• the terms of the Renewal Agreements and the range of services that would continue to be provided to each Renewal Fund in accordance with the Renewal Agreements;
• Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would continue to provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to each Renewal Fund. In connection with these considerations, the Board noted that Global X Management had significantly increased its support staff and operational resources since the inception of each Renewal Fund;
• Global X Management’s responsibilities under the Renewal Agreements, among other things,
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued) |
|
to: (i) manage the investment operations of each Renewal Fund and the composition of each Renewal Fund’s assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of its holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights relating to securities and assets held by each Renewal Fund, (iv) select broker- dealers to execute portfolio transactions for each Renewal Fund when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of each Renewal Fund, the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statement of additional information, and other reports and documents for each Renewal Fund that are required to be filed by the Trust with the SEC and other regulatory and governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including creation units) of each Renewal Fund by shareholders and new investors;
• the nature, extent and quality of the all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that have been provided by Global X Management or made available to each Renewal Fund and the adequacy of Global X Management’s personnel resources that would continue to be made available to each Renewal Fund; and
• Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Renewal Funds by Global X Management.
Performance
With respect to this fact, the Board considered each Renewal Fund’s total return and investment performance relative to (i) the performance of unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and other registered funds in the same classification as each of the Renewal Funds, which performance information is publicly available from such registered funds as well as other third party sources; and (ii) the performance of comparable registered funds, pertinent indexes, and pertinent registered fund performance rankings. The Board noted that most of the Renewal Funds had only been in operations for a few months and that some Renewal Funds had not yet commenced operations. The Board observed that, for the Renewal Funds that had not commenced operations, meaningful data relating to investment performance was not available and, therefore, could not be a factor in approving the Renewal Agreements for the non- operational Renewal Funds.
Based on these considerations and comparisons, the Board concluded that the investment performance of each operational Renewal Fund did not adversely affect the Board approval of the continuance of the Renewal Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
The Board considered Global X Management’s cost to provide investment management and related services to each Renewal Fund. In this regard, the Board considered the Management Fee that has been borne by each Renewal Fund under the Renewal Agreements for the various investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that each Renewal Fund requires under a unitary fee structure (including the types of fees and expenses that are not included within the unitary fee and would be borne by each Renewal Fund).
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued) |
|
In addition, the Board considered the current and expected profitability to Global X Management from all services provided to the Renewal Funds and all aspects of Global X Management’s relationship with each of the Renewal Funds. In connection with these considerations, the Global X Management provided the Board with financial information regarding its operations and services to the Renewal Funds and discussed with the Board its current and expected profitability with respect to the Renewal Funds. Global X Management noted that it was likely that it would not generate profits in the upcoming year from its services to certain of the newer or smaller Renewal Funds because of the small amount of assets under management for those Renewal Funds.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by Global X Management from its relationship with each of the Renewal Funds would not be excessive and should not preclude approval of the continuance of each Renewal Agreement.
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• comparative information with respect to the Management Fee paid to Global X Management by each of the Renewal Funds. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with detailed comparative expense data for each of the Renewal Funds, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and other comparable registered funds and fees and expenses paid by other funds that are series of the Trust under the same unified Management Fee structure;
• the structure of the unified Management Fee structure (which includes as one component the investment advisory fee for each Renewal Fund) and the current total expense ratios for each of the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the Renewal Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratio (i.e., the total fees) of each of the Renewal Funds and that the proposed Management Fee for each Renewal Fund was set at a competitive fee to make each Renewal Fund viable in the marketplace; and
• that Global X Management is responsible for most ordinary expenses of the Renewal Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the Funds, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that each Renewal Fund would bear other expenses not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as asset-based custody fees for certain of the Renewal Funds, taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the Management Fee and total expense ratio of each Renewal Fund should not preclude approval of the Renewal Agreements.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Renewal Funds grow and whether the unitary Management Fee for each Renewal Fund reflected these economies of scale;
• the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded) |
|
has made and intends to make in the Renewal Funds in order to seek to assure that the Renewal Funds are attractive to investors; and
• that the proposed unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for the Renewal Funds and their shareholders.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that continuation of the unitary Management Fee for each Renewal Fund was reasonable.
Other Benefits
The Board considered any other benefits realized by Global X Management as a result from its relations relationships with each Renewal Fund and concluded that all information it considered supported approval of the continuation of the Renewal Agreements.

Notes to Financial Statements |
April 30, 2012 (unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION
The Global X Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware Statutory Trust formed on March 6, 2008. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with eighty-seven portfolios as of April 30, 2012. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X China Consumer ETF, Global X China Energy ETF, Global X China Financials ETF, Global X China Industrials ETF, Global X China Materials ETF, Global X NASDAQ China Technology ETF, Global X FTSE ASEAN 40 ETF, Global X FTSE Andean 40 ETF, Global X FTSE Colombia 20 ETF, Global X Brazil Mid Cap ETF, Global X Brazil Consumer ETF, Global X Brazil Financials ETF, Global X FTSE Argentina 20 ETF, Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF, Global X FTSE Norway 30 ETF and Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (each a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is non-diversified.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
USE OF ESTIMATES — 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, and could have a material impact to the Funds.
SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for 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 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 (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 may be valued at their 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 in 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SECURITY VALUATION (continued)
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 Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national 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. 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 April 30, 2012, there were securities valued using Fair Value Procedures of $28,002, $126,746 and $121,483 in Global X China Materials ETF, Global X Brazil Mid Cap ETF and Global X Brazil Consumer ETF Funds, respectively. There were no other securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.
For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security's last trade and the time at which the Funds calculated their net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Funds calculated net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If Global X Management Company LLC (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 net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. In addition, the Funds’ Sub-administrator, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SEIGFS”), monitors price movements among certain selected indices, securities and/or baskets of securities that may be an indicator that the closing prices received earlier from foreign exchanges or markets may not reflect market value at the time the Funds calculate net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index or security exceed levels established by the Sub-administrator, the Sub-administrator notifies the Adviser that such limits have been exceeded. In such event, the Adviser makes the determination whether a Committee meeting should be called based on the information provided.
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 to sell 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

SECURITY VALUATION (concluded)
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including 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 period ended April 30, 2012, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as 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.
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 provision 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), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the period ended April 30, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)
FOREIGN CURRENCY 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 represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange 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 realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem shares ("Shares") at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of Shares, (each block of Shares for a Fund is called a "Creation Unit" or multiples thereof). Purchasers of Creation Units ("Authorized Participants") at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor 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 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, a higher Transaction Fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:
| | Creation Unit | | | Transaction | | | | | | Redemption | |
| | Shares | | | Fee | | | Value | | | Fee | |

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 tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the last period ended October 31, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

Fort the year ended October 31, 2011, Global X China Financials ETF, Global X China Industrials ETF, Global X Brazil Financials ETF and Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF utilized $74,505, $125,310, $3, and $7,319, respectively of capital loss carryforwards.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be used prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, preenactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:
Global X Funds | | Short-Term Loss | | | Long-Term Loss | | | Total | |

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 countries are less liquid and 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 issues 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 are issuers and securities markets in the U.S. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of emerging 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 country issuers than is available about issuers in the United States.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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 in the Underlying Index. The Funds 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 the Funds 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.

8. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Funds may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Funds’ total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments. 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. 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 April 30, 2012, the value of the securities on loan was $19,216,219 and $14,666,764 for the Global X China Consumer ETF and Global X FTSE Colombia 20 ETF, respectively.
9. 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 arrangements 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.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENT
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).” ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not materially affect the Funds’ financial condition or results of operations.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of the date the financial statements were issued.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (continued)
Subsequent to half-year end, on May 25, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (including the Independent Trustees) initially considered and unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Supervision and Administration Agreement for the Global X Top Guru Holdings Index ETF, Global X Top Value Guru Holdings Index ETF, and Global X Top Activist Investor Holdings Index ETF.
Subsequent to half-year end, on May 25, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust determined that it is in the best interest of the Global X S&P/TSX Venture 30 Canada ETF to modify the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and to change the Fund’s name. The Fund will be renamed the Global X Junior Miners ETF and will pursue the investment objective and strategies outlined below. These changes are scheduled to go into effect on or about September 3, 2012.
The Fund currently seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P/TSX Venture 30 Index. The S&P/TSX Venture 30 Index is a free-float adjusted, modified capitalization-weighted index designed to provide exposure to the 30 most liquid securities on the TSX Venture Exchange. The TSX Venture exchange is Canada’s junior listings market for emerging companies. Currently the Fund is mostly comprised of small-capitalization companies based in Canada that operate within the mining and energy sectors. Upon implementation of the change, the Fund’s new objective will be to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Junior Miners Index. The Solactive Junior Miners Index is designed to track the market performance of small-capitalization mining companies globally, and therefore the geographic scope of the Fund will expand accordingly. The Fund intends to focus its investments on small-capitalization mining companies including those engaged in mining, producing, smelting, and/or refining materials including but not limited to gold, silver, copper, aluminum, titanium and nickel.
This change is intended to position the Fund to benefit from the growth of commodity consumption around the world by investing in companies that are key elements of the commodity supply chain. This change also allows the Fund to diversify its investments geographically, although the change will increase the Fund’s exposure to emerging markets which may increase the risk of the Fund’s investments. These risks will be described in an updated Summary Prospectus and Statutory Prospectus that will be available at the time the changes described herein become effective.
The Fund also expects to gain certain cost efficiencies associated with the change in investment objective, and upon implementation of the change the total annual expense ratio of the Fund will be reduced from 0.75% to 0.69%.
Subsequent to half-year end, the following investment portfolio of the Trust commenced operations.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited) |
All Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of their investment in the Fund.
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 your 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.
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in 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 your 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 “Expense Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Approval Of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), requires that each mutual fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of those trustees who are not "interested persons" of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), consider on an initial basis and periodically thereafter (as required by the 1940 Act), at an in person meeting called for such purpose, the terms of each fund’s investment advisory agreement and approve each agreement with such changes as the Independent Trustees deem appropriate.
At a quarterly Board meeting held on November 11, 2011, the Board of Trustees (including the Independent Trustees) considered and unanimously approved the continuation of (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement ("Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement") for each Fund covered by this Semi-Annual Report (each a "Renewal Fund") and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust ("Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement"), on behalf of each Renewal Fund, and Global X Management Company ("Global X Management"). The Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement and the Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement are referred to herein as the "Renewal Agreements."
In advance of the Board meeting, the Board (including the Independent Trustees) requested (in writing) detailed information from Global X Management in connection with their consideration of the Renewal Agreements and received and reviewed written responses from Global X Management and supporting materials relating to those requests for information.
In determining to approve the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for each Renewal Fund, the Board concluded that the Renewal Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of each Renewal Fund and its shareholders, respectively. In approving the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for each Renewal Fund (as applicable), the Board considered among other things the following categories of material factors. In addition, the Board based their determinations regarding the continuation of each of the Renewal Fund Agreements on their consideration of all of the materials provided to them by Global X Management and each Renewal Fund’s other service providers throughout the year.
In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed below nor did the Board deem any one factor or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. Certain factors considered by the Board (including the Independent Trustees) with respect to the approval of the continuation of the Renewal Agreements are discussed below.
RENEWAL AGREEMENTS
Nature, extent and quality of services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
| • | the terms of the Renewal Agreements and the range of services that would continue to be provided to each Renewal Fund in accordance with the Renewal Agreements; |
Approval Of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued) |
|
| • | Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would continue to provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to each Renewal Fund. In connection with these considerations, the Board noted that Global X Management had significantly increased its support staff and operational resources since the inception of each Renewal Fund; |
| • | Global X Management’s responsibilities under the Renewal Agreements, among other things, to: (i) manage the investment operations of each Renewal Fund and the composition of each Renewal Fund’s assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of its holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights relating to securities and assets held by each Renewal Fund, (iv) select broker- dealers to execute portfolio transactions for each Renewal Fund when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of each Renewal Fund, the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statement of additional information, and other reports and documents for each Renewal Fund that are required to be filed by the Trust with the SEC and other regulatory and governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including creation units) of each Renewal Fund by shareholders and new investors; |
| • | the nature, extent and quality of the all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that have been provided by Global X Management or made available to each Renewal Fund and the adequacy of Global X Management’s personnel resources that would continue to be made available to each Renewal Fund; and |
| • | Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Renewal Funds by Global X Management.
Approval Of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded) |
|
Performance
With respect to this fact, the Board considered each Renewal Fund’s total return and investment performance relative to (i) the performance of unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and other registered funds in the same classification as each of the Renewal Funds, which performance information is publicly available from such registered funds as well as other third party sources; and (ii) the performance of comparable registered funds, pertinent indexes, and pertinent registered fund performance rankings. The Board noted that some of the Renewal Funds had only been in operations for a few months and that some Renewal Funds had not yet commenced operations. The Board observed that, for the Renewal Funds that had not commenced operations, meaningful data relating to investment performance was not available and, therefore, could not be a factor in approving the Renewal Agreements for the non- operational Renewal Funds.
Based on these considerations and comparisons, the Board concluded that the investment performance of each operational Renewal Fund did not adversely affect the Board approval of the continuance of the Renewal Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
The Board considered Global X Management’s cost to provide investment management and related services to each Renewal Fund. In this regard, the Board considered the Management Fee that has been borne by each Renewal Fund under the Renewal Agreements for the various investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that each Renewal Fund requires under a unitary fee structure (including the types of fees and expenses that are not included within the unitary fee and would be borne by each Renewal Fund).
In addition, the Board considered the current and expected profitability to Global X Management from all services provided to the Renewal Funds and all aspects of Global X Management’s relationship with each of the Renewal Funds. In connection with these considerations, the Global X Management provided the Board with financial information regarding its operations and services to the Renewal Funds and discussed with the Board its current and expected profitability with respect to the Renewal Funds. Global X Management noted that it was likely that it would not generate profits in the upcoming year from its services to certain of the newer or smaller Renewal Funds because of the small amount of assets under management for those Renewal Funds.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by Global X Management from its relationship with each of the Renewal Funds would not be excessive and should not preclude approval of the continuance of each Renewal Agreement.
Approval Of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued) |
|
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• comparative information with respect to the Management Fee paid to Global X Management by each of the Renewal Funds. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with detailed comparative expense data for each of the Renewal Funds, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and other comparable registered funds and fees and expenses paid by other funds that are series of the Trust under the same unified Management Fee structure;
• the structure of the unified Management Fee structure (which includes as one component the investment advisory fee for each Renewal Fund) and the current total expense ratios for each of the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the Renewal Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratio (i.e., the total fees) of each of the Renewal Funds and that the proposed Management Fee for each Renewal Fund was set at a competitive fee to make each Renewal Fund viable in the marketplace; and
• that Global X Management is responsible for most ordinary expenses of the Renewal Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the Funds, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that each Renewal Fund would bear other expenses not covered under the all-inclusive Management Fee, such as asset-based custody fees for certain of the Renewal Funds, taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the proposed Management Fee and total expense ratio of each Renewal Fund should not preclude approval of the Renewal Agreements.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Renewal Funds grow and whether the unitary Management Fee for each Renewal Fund reflected these economies of scale;
• the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management has made and intends to make in the Renewal Funds in order to seek to assure that the Renewal Funds are attractive to investors; and
Approval Of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (continued) |
|
• that the unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for the Renewal Funds and their shareholders.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that continuation of the unitary
Management Fee for each Renewal Fund was reasonable.
Other Benefits
The Board considered any other benefits realized by Global X Management as a result from its relations relationships with each Renewal Fund and concluded that all information it considered supported approval of the continuation of the Renewal Agreements.

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

Notes to Financial Statements |
April 30, 2012 (unaudited) |
1. ORGANIZATION
The Global X Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware Statutory Trust formed on March 6, 2008. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company with eighty-seven portfolios as of April 30, 2012. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X SuperDividend ETF, Global X MLP ETF, Global X Canada Preferred ETF, Global X Social Media Index ETF, Global X Auto ETF, Global X NASDAQ 500 ETF and Global X NASDAQ 400 Mid Cap ETF (each a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is non-diversified.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
USE OF ESTIMATES — 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, and could have a material impact to the Funds.
RETURN OF CAPITAL ESTIMATES – Distributions received from the Global X MLP Fund generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records 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 Fund and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded. For the period ended April 30, 2012, the Fund estimated that 100% of the MLP distributions received would be treated as return of capital.
SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for 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 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 (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 may be valued at their 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 in 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SECURITY VALUATION (continued)
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 Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national 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. 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 April 30, 2012, there were no securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.
For securities that principally trade on a foreign market or exchange, a significant gap in time can exist between the time of a particular security's last trade and the time at which the Funds calculated their net asset value. The closing prices of such securities may no longer reflect their market value at the time the Funds calculated net asset value if an event that could materially affect the value of those securities (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. If Global X Management Company LLC (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 net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. In addition, the Funds’ Sub-administrator, SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SEIGFS”), monitors price movements among certain selected indices, securities and/or baskets of securities that may be an indicator that the closing prices received earlier from foreign exchanges or markets may not reflect market value at the time the Funds calculate net asset value. If price movements in a monitored index or security exceed levels established by the Sub-administrator, the Sub-administrator notifies the Adviser that such limits have been exceeded. In such event, the Adviser makes the determination whether a Committee meeting should be called based on the information provided.
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 to sell 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

SECURITY VALUATION (concluded)
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including 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 period ended April 30, 2012 there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES – Except for the Global X MLP ETF, 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.
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 provisions 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), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)
FOREIGN CURRENCY 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 represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange 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 realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem shares (“Shares”) at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of Shares, (each block of Shares for a Fund is called a “Creation Unit” or multiples thereof). Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor 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 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, a higher Transaction Fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:
| | Creation Unit | | | Transaction | | | | | | Redemption | |
| | Shares | | | Fee | | | Value | | | Fee | |

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 tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the last year ended October 31, 2011 were as follows:
Global X Funds | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gain | | | Totals | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Global X SuperDividend ETF 2011 | | $ | 831,828 | | | $ | – | | | $ | 831,828 | |

Total Accumulated Losses | | $ | (3,269,967 | ) | | $ | (317,290 | ) | | $ | (945,105 | ) |
For Federal income tax purposes, capital loss carryforwards represent realized losses of the Funds that may be carried forward for a maximum period of eight years and applied against future gains.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be used prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, preenactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:
| | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | | |
Global X Funds | | Loss | | | Loss | | | Total | |
Global X SuperDividend ETF | | $ | 851,369 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 851,369 | |

6. TAX INFORMATION – GLOBAL X MLP FUND
Global X MLP Fund intends to invest primarily in master limited partnerships, which generally are treated as qualified publicly traded partnerships for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Global X MLP ETF does not intend to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, but is taxed as a corporation. As a corporation the Fund is obligated to pay federal, state and local income tax on taxable income. Currently the maximum marginal regular federal income tax rate for a corporation is 35 percent. The Fund may be subject to a 20 percent alternative minimum tax on its federal alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that its alternative minimum tax exceeds its regular federal income tax. The Fund currently is using an estimated 37.51% tax rate for federal, state and local tax.
The Global X MLP Fund may rely, to some extent, on information provided by the MLPs, which may not necessarily be timely, to estimate taxable income allocable to MLP units held in its portfolio, and to estimate its associated deferred tax benefit/(liability). Such estimates are made in good faith. From time to time, as new information becomes available, the Fund will modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its tax benefit/(liability).
The tax expense or benefits attributable to certain components of income will be included in the Statement of Operations. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for federal income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated utilizing effective tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are realized or settled. A valuation allowance will be recognized if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realizable. The Global X MLP Fund may be required to modify the estimates or assumptions it uses regarding the deferred tax asset or liability as new information becomes available.
The Global X MLP Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalities associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of April 30, 2012, the Fund does not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes. All tax years since inception remain open and subject to examination by tax jurisdictions. The Fund has reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Fund’s net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on its tax returns.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax expense or benefit of operating income or loss, the tax benefit of capital loss carry forwards, and the tax expense or benefit of unrealized gains or losses on investment securities for financial reporting purposes. Components of the Global X MLP Fund’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of April 30, 2012 are as follows:
Deferred tax asset: | | | | |
Net operating loss carry forwards | | $ | 268 | |
| | | | |
Less deferred tax liabilities: | | | | |
Unrealized gain on investment securities | | | (60,037 | ) |
Net deferred tax liability | | $ | (59,769 | ) |

| | $ | (59,769 | ) |
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 and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The securities markets of emerging countries are less liquid and 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 are issuers and securities markets in the U.S. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of emerging 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 country issuers than is available about issuers in the United States.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Indices. The Funds may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to their Underlying Indices when a replication strategy might be detrimental to their shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its Underlying Index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the Underlying Indices become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to the Funds but not the Underlying Indices).
Under normal circumstances, the Global X MLP Fund intends to invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities of MLPs, which are subject to certain risks, such as supply and demand risk, depletion and exploration risk, and the risk associated with the hazards inherent in midstream energy industry activities. A substantial portion of the cash flow received by the Fund is derived from investment in equity securities of MLPs. The amount of cash that an MLP has available for distributions and the tax character of such distributions are dependent upon the amount of cash generated by the MLP’s operations.

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. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Funds may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Funds’ total assets. Such loans are secured by collateral equal to no less than the market value of the loaned securities determined daily. Such collateral will be cash or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans is invested in short-term money market instruments. 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. 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 April 30, 2012, there were no securities on loan for any of the Funds.
10. 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 arrangements 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.

11. NEW ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).” ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not materially affect the Funds’ financial condition or results of operations.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements as of the date the financial statements were issued.
Subsequent to half-year end, on May 25, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (including the Independent Trustees) initially considered and unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Supervision and Administration Agreement for the Global X Top Guru Holdings Index ETF, Global X Top Value Guru Holdings Index ETF, and Global X Top Activist Investor Holdings Index ETF.
Subsequent to half-year end, on May 25, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust determined that it is in the best interest of the Global X S&P/TSX Venture 30 Canada ETF to modify the Fund’s investment objective and strategies and to change the Fund’s name. The Fund will be renamed the Global X Junior Miners ETF and will pursue the investment objective and strategies outlined below. These changes are scheduled to go into effect on or about September 3, 2012.
The Fund currently seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P/TSX Venture 30 Index. The S&P/TSX Venture 30 Index is a free-float adjusted, modified capitalization-weighted index designed to provide exposure to the 30 most liquid securities on the TSX Venture Exchange. The TSX Venture exchange is Canada’s junior listings market for emerging companies. Currently the Fund is mostly comprised of small-capitalization companies based in Canada that operate within the mining and energy sectors. Upon implementation of the change, the Fund’s new objective will be to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Junior Miners Index. The Solactive Junior Miners Index is designed to track the market performance of small-capitalization mining companies globally, and therefore the geographic scope of the Fund will expand accordingly. The Fund intends to focus its investments on small-capitalization mining companies including those engaged in mining, producing, smelting, and/or refining materials including but not limited to gold, silver, copper, aluminum, titanium and nickel.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (continued)
This change is intended to position the Fund to benefit from the growth of commodity consumption around the world by investing in companies that are key elements of the commodity supply chain. This change also allows the Fund to diversify its investments geographically, although the change will increase the Fund’s exposure to emerging markets which may increase the risk of the Fund’s investments. These risks will be described in an updated Summary Prospectus and Statutory Prospectus that will be available at the time the changes described herein become effective.
The Fund also expects to gain certain cost efficiencies associated with the change in investment objective, and upon implementation of the change the total annual expense ratio of the Fund will be reduced from 0.75% to 0.69%.
Subsequent to half-year end, the following investment portfolio of the Trust commenced operations.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited)
All Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management, administrative services, brokerage fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees as a result of their investment in the Fund.
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 your 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.
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in 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 your 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 “Expense Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded)
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), requires that each mutual fund’s board of trustees, including a majority of those trustees who are not "interested persons" of the mutual fund, as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), consider on an initial basis and periodically thereafter (as required by the 1940 Act), at an in person meeting called for such purpose, the terms of each fund’s investment advisory agreement and approve each agreement with such changes as the Independent Trustees deem appropriate.
At a quarterly Board meeting held on November 11, 2011, the Board of Trustees (including the Independent Trustees) considered and unanimously approved the continuation of (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement ("Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement") for each Fund covered by this Semi-Annual Report (other than the Global X NASDAQ 500 ETF and Global X NASDAQ 400 Mid Cap ETF) (each a "Renewal Fund") and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust ("Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement"), on behalf of each Renewal Fund, and Global X Management Company ("Global X Management"). The Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement and the Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement are referred to herein as the "Renewal Agreements." At the same meeting, the Board (including the Independent Trustees) also initially considered and unanimously approved (i) the initial Investment Advisory Agreement for the Global X NASDAQ 500 ETF and Global X NASDAQ 400 Mid Cap ETF (each a “New Fund”) and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust, on behalf each of each New Fund, and Global X Management. The Investment Advisory Agreements and Supervision and Administration Agreements for each of the New Funds are referred to herein as the “Agreements.”1
At the February 24, 2012 meeting, the Board (including the Independent Trustees) also considered and unanimously approved a decrease in the unitary fee (including the investment advisory fee) (“Management Fee”) for the Global X MLP ETF (“MLP Fund”).2 Because the MLP Fund had not yet commenced operations, the MLP Fund was considered to be and referred to herein as a New Fund. In considering revisions to the MLP Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement and Supervision and Administration Agreement, the Board took into account the same factors and considerations as it did with respect to the Agreements the other New Funds considered at the meeting.
In advance of the Board meeting, the Board (including the Independent Trustees) requested (in writing) detailed information from Global X Management in connection with their consideration of the Renewal Agreements and the New Fund Agreements and received and reviewed written responses from Global X Management and supporting materials relating to those requests for information.
1 At the November 11, 2011 meeting, the Board (including the Independent Trustees) also initially considered and unanimously approved (i) the initial Investment Advisory Agreement for the Global X NASDAQ 100 Global Technology ETF and Global X Permanent Portfolio ETF and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each fund, and Global X Management.
2 At the February 24, 2012 board meeting, the Board (including the Independent Trustees) also considered and unanimously approved a decrease in the unitary fee (including the investment advisory fee) (“Management Fee”) for the Global X MLP Natural Gas ETF. Also at the February 24, 2012 board meeting, the Board (including the Independent Trustees) also initially considered and unanimously approved (i) the initial Investment Advisory Agreement for the Global X SuperIncome & MLP Index ETF, Global X SuperIncome Preferred ETF, Global X SuperIncome REIT ETF, and Global X Risk Parity ETF, and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each fund, and Global X Management.
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded)
In determining to approve the New Fund Agreements and the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for each New Fund or Renewal Fund (as applicable), the Board concluded that the New Fund Agreements and the Renewal Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of each New Fund or Renewal Fund (as applicable) and its shareholders, respectively. In approving New Fund Agreements and the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for each New Fund or Renewal Fund (as applicable), the Board considered among other things the following categories of material factors. In addition, the Board based their determinations regarding the continuation of each of the Renewal Fund Agreements on their consideration of all of the materials provided to them by Global X Management and each Renewal Fund’s other service providers throughout the year.
In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed below nor did the Board deem any one factor or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. Certain factors considered by the Board (including the Independent Trustees) with respect to the approval of the New Funds Agreements and the continuation of the Renewal Agreements are discussed separately below.
NEW FUNDS AGREEMENTS
Nature, extent and quality of services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
· the terms of the New Funds Agreements and the range of services to be provided to the New Funds in accordance with the New Funds Agreements;
· Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would provide investment advisory services to the New Funds;
· Global X Management’s responsibilities under the New Funds Agreements to, among other things, (i) manage the investment operations of each New Funds and the composition of each New Fund’s assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of its holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights appertaining to securities and assets held by each of the New Funds, (iv) select broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for each of the New Funds when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of each of the New Funds, the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statement of additional information, and other reports and documents for each of the New Funds that are required to be filed by the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and other regulatory or governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including creation units) of each of the New Funds by shareholders and new investors;
· the nature, extent and quality of Global X Management’s services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) provided by or made available to each of the Renewal Funds and that would be made available to each of the New Funds; and
· the quality of Global X Management’s resources and personnel that would be made available to each of the New Funds, including Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel.
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded)
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each of the New Funds.
Performance
The Board determined that because each of the New Funds had not commenced operations, meaningful data relating to investment performance of each New Fund was not available and, therefore, could not be a factor in approving the New Funds Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
· Global X Management’s expected cost to provide investment management, supervision and administrative and related services to each of the New Funds;
· The unitary fee (including the proposed investment advisory fee) ("Management Fee") that was proposed to be borne by each New Fund under the New Fund Agreements for the investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that each New Fund requires under a unitary fee structure (including the types of fees and expenses that are not included within the unitary fee and would be borne by each New Fund); and
· the expected profitability to Global X Management, if any, from all services to be provided to each of the New Funds and all aspects of the relationship between Global X Management and each of the New Funds. In connection with these considerations, the Board noted that Global X Management advised the Board that it was uncertain whether it would generate any profits from its services to each of the New Funds during the first 12 months of each New Fund’s operations, but expected to generate profits after that initial period.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by Global X Management from its relationship with each of the New Funds would not be excessive.
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
· comparative information with respect to the proposed Management Fee to be paid to Global X Management by each of the New Funds. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with detailed comparative expense data for each of the New Funds, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and other registered funds as well as the fees and expenses paid by other Funds that are series of the Trust under the same unified Management Fee structure;
· the structure of the proposed unified Management Fee structure (which includes as one component the proposed investment advisory fee for each New Fund) and the expected total expense ratios for each of the New Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the New Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratio (i.e., the total fees) of each of the New Funds and that the proposed Management Fee for each New Fund was set at a competitive fee to make each New Fund viable in the marketplace; and
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded)
· that Global X Management would be responsible for most ordinary expenses of the New Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the New Funds, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that each New Fund would bear other expenses not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the proposed Management Fee and expected total expense ratio of each New Fund should not preclude approval of the New Funds Agreements.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
· the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each of the New Funds grows and whether the proposed unitary Management Fee for each New Fund reflected these economies of scale;
· the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management intends to made in each of the New Funds in order to seek to assure that the New Funds are attractive to investors; and
· that the proposed unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for each of the New Funds and its shareholders.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that approval of the proposed Management Fee for each New Fund was reasonable.
Other Benefits
In considering the New Funds Agreement, in addition to the categories discussed above, the Board considered other benefits that may be realized by Global X Management as a result of its relationships with each of the New Funds.
Renewal Agreements
Nature, extent and quality of services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
· the terms of the Renewal Agreements and the range of services that would continue to be provided to each Renewal Fund in accordance with the Renewal Agreements;
· Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would continue to provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to each Renewal Fund. In connection with these considerations, the Board noted that Global X Management had significantly increased its support staff and operational resources since the inception of each Renewal Fund;
· Global X Management’s responsibilities under the Renewal Agreements, among other things, to: (i) manage the investment operations of each Renewal Fund and the composition of each Renewal Fund’s assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of its holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and Board and other reports as the Board
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded)
deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights relating to securities and assets held by each Renewal Fund, (iv) select broker- dealers to execute portfolio transactions for each Renewal Fund when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of each Renewal Fund, the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statement of additional information, and other reports and documents for each Renewal Fund that are required to be filed by the Trust with the SEC and other regulatory and governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including creation units) of each Renewal Fund by shareholders and new investors;
· the nature, extent and quality of the all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that have been provided by Global X Management or made available to each Renewal Fund and the adequacy of Global X Management’s personnel resources that would continue to be made available to each Renewal Fund; and
· Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Renewal Funds by Global X Management.
Performance
With respect to this fact, the Board considered each Renewal Fund’s total return and investment performance relative to (i) the performance of unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and other registered funds in the same classification as each of the Renewal Funds, which performance information is publicly available from such registered funds as well as other third party sources; and (ii) the performance of comparable registered funds, pertinent indexes, and pertinent registered fund performance rankings. The Board noted that some of the Renewal Funds had only been in operations for a few months and that some Renewal Funds had not yet commenced operations. The Board observed that, for the Renewal Funds that had not commenced operations, meaningful data relating to investment performance was not available and, therefore, could not be a factor in approving the Renewal Agreements for the non- operational Renewal Funds.
Based on these considerations and comparisons, the Board concluded that the investment performance of each operational Renewal Fund did not adversely affect the Board approval of the continuance of the Renewal Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
The Board considered Global X Management’s cost to provide investment management and related services to each Renewal Fund. In this regard, the Board considered the Management Fee that has been borne by each Renewal Fund under the Renewal Agreements for the various investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that each Renewal Fund requires under a unitary fee structure (including the types of fees and expenses that are not included within the unitary fee and would be borne by each New Fund).
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded)
In addition, the Board considered the current and expected profitability to Global X Management from all services provided to the Renewal Funds and all aspects of Global X Management’s relationship with each of the Renewal Funds. In connection with these considerations, the Global X Management provided the Board with financial information regarding its operations and services to the Renewal Funds and discussed with the Board its current and expected profitability with respect to the Renewal Funds. Global X Management noted that it was likely that it would not generate profits in the upcoming year from its services to certain of the newer or smaller Renewal Funds because of the small amount of assets under management for those Renewal Funds.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the profits anticipated to be realized by Global X Management from its relationship with each of the Renewal Funds would not be excessive and should not preclude approval of the continuance of each Renewal Agreement.
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
· comparative information with respect to the Management Fee paid to Global X Management by each of the Renewal Funds. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with detailed comparative expense data for each of the Renewal Funds, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and other comparable registered funds and fees and expenses paid by other funds that are series of the Trust under the same unified Management Fee structure;
· the structure of the unified Management Fee structure (which includes as one component the investment advisory fee for each Renewal Fund) and the current total expense ratios for each of the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the Renewal Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratio (i.e., the total fees) of each of the Renewal Funds and that the proposed Management Fee for each Renewal Fund was set at a competitive fee to make each Renewal Fund viable in the marketplace; and
· that Global X Management is responsible for most ordinary expenses of the New Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the Funds, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that each New Fund would bear other expenses not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as asset-based custody fees for certain of the Renewal Funds, taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the proposed Management Fee and total expense ratio of each New Fund should not preclude approval of the Renewal Agreements.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
· the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Renewal Funds grow and whether the unitary Management Fee for each Renewal Fund reflected these economies of scale;
· the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management has made and intends to make in the Renewal Funds in order to seek to assure that the Renewal Funds are attractive to investors; and
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited) (concluded)
· that the proposed unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for the New Funds and their shareholders.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that continuation of the unitary Management Fee for each Renewal Fund was reasonable.
Other Benefits
The Board considered any other benefits realized by Global X Management as a result from its relations relationships with each Renewal Fund and concluded that all information it considered supported approval of the continuation of the Renewal Agreements.
