Management Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Global X Silver Miners ETF
Global X Silver Miners ETF
The Global X Silver Miners ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure broad-based equity market performance of global companies involved in the silver mining industry, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 20.35%, while the Underlying Index decreased 20.33%. The Fund had a net asset value of $26.16 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.83 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Silver Standard Resources, Inc. and AuRico Metals, which returned 69.64% and 45.45%, respectively. The worst performers were Bear Creek Mining and Tahoe Resources, which returned -51.05% and -50.65%, respectively.
Amid concerns of interest rate hikes in the United States, a strengthening US dollar, and lower than expected US economic data, silver prices exhibited a volatile pattern during the reporting period, declining to a six year low. The profitability of silver mining companies tends to be highly leveraged to spot silver prices, and therefore performance of these companies has suffered as prices have declined.

Global X Gold Explorers ETF
Global X Gold Explorers ETF
The Global X Gold Explorers ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Gold Explorers Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is a free float-adjusted, liquidity-tested and market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure broad-based equity market performance of global companies involved in gold exploration, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 3.36%, while the Underlying Index increased 4.45%. The Fund had a net asset value of $19.28 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $19.89 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Gold Canyon Resources and Paramount Gold & Silver, which returned 91.79% and 91.04%, respectively. The worst performers were Timmins Gold and Lydian International, which returned -55.16% and -54.57%, respectively.
Gold prices have exhibited a volatile pattern during the reporting period owing to an expectation of an interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. Gold exploration companies are heavily leveraged to the prices of gold and in a declining price environment, can experience drastic changes in profitability. By the end of October 2015, gold prices reached six year lows.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure broad-based equity market performance of global companies involved in the copper mining industry, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 38.64%, while the Underlying Index decreased 38.45%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.96 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.98 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Southern Copper and Sandfire Resources NL, which returned -2.17% and -6.1%, respectively. The worst performers were Imperial Metals and Copper Mountain Mining Corp., which returned -92.9% and -78.56%, respectively.
Copper prices ended the reporting period near six year lows. The metal has suffered from weak economic growth in emerging markets, which had traditionally been major purchasers of the metal for industrial capacities. Copper mining companies, which are held in the Fund, therefore suffered from declining sales numbers.

Global X Uranium ETF
Global X Uranium ETF
The Global X Uranium ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Uranium Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure broad-based equity market performance of global companies involved in the uranium industry, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 33.01%, while the Underlying Index decreased 30.62%. The Fund had a net asset value of $23.26 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $14.94 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Berkeley Resources and Peninsula Energy, which returned 42.41% and 15.52%, respectively. The worst performers were Energy Resources of Australia and Greenland Minerals & Energy, which returned -78.53% and -69.71%, respectively.
During the reporting period, uranium prices declined as supply outweighed demand. Commodities broadly experienced a heavy selloff during the reporting period due to slowing demand and the looming threat of rising interest rates in the US. Uranium saw a small recovery at the end of September 2015, attributed to Japan restarting its nuclear power plants and increasing nuclear power capacity leading to the construction of more than 60 reactors. Many expect that as coal burning electric plants fall out of favor due to their high levels of pollution, nuclear power will become an increasingly popular choice to meet energy needs around the globe.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure broad-based equity market performance of global companies involved in the lithium industry, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 13.18%, while the Underlying Index decreased 13.38%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.00 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.62 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Ultralife and Galaxy Resources, which returned 107.08% and 59.69%, respectively. The worst performers were Avalon Rare Metals and Western Lithium USA, which returned -61.64% and -60.69%, respectively.
Commodities as a whole performed poorly during the reporting period, as global markets coped with impending interest rate hikes in the United States as well as slowing growth in major emerging markets like China, Brazil, and Russia. Despite the broad commodity downturn, there is optimism surrounding the lithium sector given expected increases in demand for the metal. Lithium is a key component of lithium-ion battery technology, and demand could increase as fast growing electric car and renewable energy industries are heavily dependent on battery storage.

The Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Fertilizers/Potash Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to track the performance of the largest listed companies globally that are active in some aspect of the fertilizer/potash industry, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 6.01%, while the Underlying Index decreased 5.47%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.87 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.98 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Nufarm and Gubre Fabrikalari, which returned 37.19% and 21.06%, respectively. The worst performers were Intrepid Potash and Uralkali, which returned -71.5% and -33.67%, respectively.
Prices of fertilizers and potash have been weighed down by lower prices for crops, which is the result of slowing demand from major importing countries. In North America, demand for potash, in first half of 2015 fell by as much as 25 to 30% year over year, while global supply remains high. This fall in demand has weighed significantly on companies in the sector.

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. As of October 31, 2015, the Trust had ninety-one portfolios, forty-seven of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Uranium ETF, Global X Lithium ETF and Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF (the “Funds”). Each Fund has elected non-diversified status.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
USE OF ESTIMATES — The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
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 as of reporting date. The exchange rates used by the Trust for valuation are captured as of the New York or London close each day. 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 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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SECURITY VALUATION (continued)
Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value their securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ securities that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Global X Management Company LLC (the “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. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration all relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. As of October 31, 2015, there was $377,503 of fair valued securities in the Global X Copper Miners ETF. There were no other securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received 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 Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments and 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)

SECURITY VALUATION (concluded)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For the year ended October 31, 2015 there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as material Level 3 investments as of October 31, 2015. The disclosures below also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

Common Stock | | $ | 377,503 | | | Discount from the Last Traded Price | | Last Traded Price Comparability Adjustment % | | | 20 | % |
The unobservable input used to determine fair value of the Level 3 asset may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in this input could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by Citibank N.A. and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by its custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event that the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Funds are prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (included in Repurchase Agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.

(1) Net Amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Global X Gold Explorers ETF incurred federal excise tax in the amount of $150. No other 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. 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 year ended October 31, 2015, 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 year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net 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 to Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ Custodian, on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:
| | | | | Creation | | | Value at October | | | | |
| | Creation Unit Shares | | | Fee | | | 31, 2015 | | | Redemption 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 following differences, primarily attributable to investment in master limited partnership, non-deductible excise tax paid, foreign currency, redemptions in-kind and sales of passive foreign investment companies have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.
Global X Funds | | Paid-in Capital | | | Undistributed Net Investment Income | | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | |

5. TAX INFORMATION (concluded)
For Federal income tax purposes, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning before December 22, 2010 may be carried forward for a maximum period of eight years and applied against future gains. As of October 31, 2015, the Funds that had capital loss carryforwards are listed below:
| | Global X Silver | | | Global X Gold | | | Global X | | | Global X | |
Expiration Date | | Miners ETF | | | Explorers ETF | | | Uranium ETF | | | Lithium ETF | |
Oct. 2019 | | $ | 8,433,465 | | | $ | 130,976 | | | $ | 12,705,798 | | | $ | 7,329,308 | |
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, the following funds utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.
Global X Funds | | | |
Global X Lithium ETF | | $ | 1,695,799 | |
For taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, a RIC is permitted to carry forward net capital losses to offset capital gains realized in later years, and the losses carried forward retain their original character as either long-term or short-term losses. Net capital losses of a RIC realized in taxable years beginning before that date (pre-2011 losses) can be carried forward up to 8 years and are characterized in later years as short-term losses. If a Fund uses pre-2011 loss carryforwards in later years, the carryforwards will not reduce the Fund’s current earnings and profits, while loss carryforwards from later years will reduce the Fund’s current earnings and profits. To the extent that later year capital gains are offset by pre-2011 loss carryforwards, distributions of such gains will be treated as ordinary dividend distributions. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:
Global X Funds | | Short-Term Loss | | | Long-Term Loss | | | Total | |
Global X Silver Miners ETF | | $ | 19,717,142 | | | $ | 156,865,918 | | | $ | 176,583,060 | |

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The 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 United States. 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 they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the underlying index in approximately the same proportions as in the underlying index. The Funds may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to their underlying 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 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.
7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Funds may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Funds’ total assets. Security loans made pursuant to a securities lending agreement are required at all times to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% for U.S.-based securities and 105% for foreign-based securities. Such collateral will be cash securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agencies. Cash collateral received in connection with these loans can be invested in repurchase agreements or U.S. Treasury obligations and is recognized in the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loans were to increase and

the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Funds could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
As of October 31, 2015, the value of securities on loan was $6,097,231, $546,286, $1,069,340, $16,391,367 and $1,089,488 for the Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Uranium ETF and Global X Lithium ETF, respectively and the value of securities purchased with the cash collateral held from securities on loan was $6,827,718, $1,037,810, $1,082,005, $20,830,607 and $1,211,990 for the Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Uranium ETF and Global X Lithium ETF, respectively.

8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these 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.
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.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENT
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. ASU 2014-11 changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements and requires enhanced disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. This update requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings. This update also eliminates existing guidance for repurchase financings and requires instead that entities consider the initial transfer and the related repurchase agreement separately when applying the derecognition requirements under U.S. GAAP. The accounting changes in this update are effective for fiscal

periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is prohibited. At this time, management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2014-11 and its impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have been evaluated regarding 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 of the date the financial statements were issued, except as follows:
Subsequent to October 31, 2015 the following portfolios were added to the Trust; Global X Internet of Things ETF, Global X Healthy Lifestyles ETF, Global X Big Data ETF, Global X FinTech ETF and Global X Conscious Companies ETF.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
October 31, 2015 |
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Global X Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Uranium ETF, Global X Lithium ETF and Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF (six of the series constituting Global X Funds) (the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years or periods then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed above at October 31, 2015, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years or periods then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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, commissions, 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 its 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 (May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015).
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 “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Supplemental Information (unaudited) |
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 the 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 www.GlobalXFunds.com.

Global X China Consumer ETF
Global X China Consumer ETF
The Global X China Consumer ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive China Consumer Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure the equity performance of the investable universe of companies in the consumer sector of the Chinese economy, as defined by the index provider. It is made up of securities of companies that have their main business operations in the consumer sector and generally includes companies whose businesses involve: general retail, diversified consumer services, food production and retail, beverages, household goods, leisure goods, personal goods, automobiles, auto components and distributors, tobacco, media, and travel and leisure.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 1.34%, while the Underlying Index increased 2.15%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.82 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.72 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from China Southern Airlines and Ctrip.com International which returned 119.77% and 61.39%, respectively. The worst performers were China Yurun Food Group and E-Commerce China Dangdang, which returned -50.20% and -47.94%, respectively.
The Chinese government is striving to transform its country from a manufacturing and export based economy to one led by domestic consumption. Despite overall sluggish economic growth in China, retail sales remained strong, rising 11% year over year in October 2015. The consumer sector has benefitted from rising household income and urbanization in China, ultimately leading to positive returns during the reporting period.

The Chinese government is taking measures to bring improvements in the Energy sector, including increasing efficiency and encouraging green energy investments.

Global X Southeast Asia ETF
Global X Southeast Asia ETF
The Global X Southeast Asia ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE/ASEAN 40 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the equity performance of the 40 largest and most liquid companies in the five Association of Southeast Asian Nations ("ASEAN") regions: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 19.97%, while the Underlying Index decreased 19.65%. The Fund had a net asset value of $16.76 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.07 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Unilever Indonesia and The Siam Cement, which returned 9.88% and 9.05%, respectively. The worst performers were Perusahaan Gas Negara and PTT Exploration & Production, which returned -54.03% and -48.02%, respectively.
The Southeast Asia region consisting of Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines was negatively impacted by falling Chinese demand for their goods and services. Singapore marginally escaped a technical recession in the third quarter of 2015, which could be broadly atrributed to falling exports to China, and a weak manufacturing sector. Malaysia faced economic issues arising from high levels of household debt and the impact of falling energy prices. The region continues to exhibit strong demographics and a growing consumer class, which are expected to be drivers of future growth across this region.

This was coupled with a fall in investments in primary economic sectors leading to a slowdown in these economies and depreciation of their currencies, which negatively impacted returns.

Mid-cap companies in Brazil tend to be more sensitive to domestic economic and political trends, which ultimately weighed on returns during the reporting period.

Global X MSCI Norway ETF
The Global X MSCI Norway ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI Norway IMI 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure broad-based equity market performance in Norway, as defined by the index provider. The Underlying Index consists of stocks traded primarily on the Norwegian stock exchange. The Underlying Index may include large-, mid- or small-capitalization companies.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 22.50%, while the Underlying Index decreased 22.50%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.82 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $10.75 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Ocean Yield and Bakkafrost P, which returned 43.68% and 36.97%, respectively. The worst performers were Seadrill and Odfjell Drilling, which returned -72.03% and -70.31%, respectively.
Owing to the continuous decline in oil prices, Norway witnessed stock market decline. The country has made attempts to revive the sluggish economy. For instance, the central bank reduced its deposit rate to a record low and signaled the possibility of another cut in the coming year. While declines in the country's currency negatively hurt returns, it could help the country regain global competitiveness in other sectors of its economy.

Frontier markets are those emerging market countries that generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets.

Despite this slowdown, many of the next emerging and frontier market countries have attractive demographics and among the highest economic growth rates in the world, fueling optimism for future growth.

Each Fund has elected non-diversification status.
The Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF commenced operations on April 22, 2015.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.
USE OF ESTIMATES — The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 and the Nigerian Stock Exchange), 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 and the Nigerian Stock Exchange, the 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)
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 its primary trading exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value their securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ securities that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disaster, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. 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. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. As of October 31, 2015, there were securities valued using Fair Value Procedures of $922,853, $668, $457, $7,911, $11,264 and $9,309,333 in Global X China Industrials ETF, Global X China Materials ETF, Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X Brazil Mid Cap ETF, Global X Brazil Consumer ETF and Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF, respectively. There were no other securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received 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
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term)
Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2015 (continued) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
For the year ended October 31, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as material Level 3 investments as of October 31, 2015. The disclosures below also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.
Global X China Industrials ETF
Quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements
| | Fair Value at | | | | | | | | |
Assets | | 10/31/2015 | | | Valuation Technique(s) | | Unobservable Input | | Discount Percentage | |
Common Stock | | $ | 922,853 | | | Discount from the Last Traded Price | | Last Traded Price Comparability Adjustment % | | | 1-33% | |
The unobservable input used to determine fair value of the Level 3 asset may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in this input could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
DUE TO/FROM BROKERS — Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties at October 31, 2015. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by Citibank, N.A. and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by its custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Fund bears the risk of loss in the event that the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Fund is prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (included in Repurchase Agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.
At October 31, 2015, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(1)Net Amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
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.
Notes to Financial Statements |
October 31, 2015 (continued) |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 year ended October 31, 2015, 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 year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net 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 payable to Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Fund’s custodian (“Custodian”), on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The following differences, primarily attributable to foreign currency, redemptions in-kind and sales of passive foreign investment companies, have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal period ended October 31, 2015.

For taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, a RIC is permitted to carry forward net capital losses to offset capital gains realized in later years, and the losses carried forward retain their original character as either long-term or short-term losses. Net capital losses of a RIC realized in taxable years beginning before that date (pre-2011 losses) can be carried forward up to 8 years and are characterized in later years as short-term losses. If a Fund uses pre-2011 loss carryforwards in later years, the carryforwards will not reduce the Fund’s current earnings and profits, while loss carryforwards from later years will reduce the Fund’s current earnings and profits. To the extent that later year capital gains are offset by pre-2011 loss carryforwards, distributions of such gains will be treated as ordinary dividend distributions. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:

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 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 their 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.
7. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT
Effective May 16, 2013, the Global X China Materials ETF and the Global X MSCI Argentina ETF executed a 1-for-2 reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of markets on May 15, 2013. The effect of this transaction was to divide the number of outstanding shares of the Funds by two, resulting in a corresponding increase in the net asset value per share. The per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended have been given retroactive effect to reflect these reverse share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of these transactions.
8. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Funds may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Funds’ total assets. Security loans made pursuant to a securities lending agreement are required at all times to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% for U.S. based securities and 105% for foreign based securities. Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements or U.S. Treasury obligations and is recognized in the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loans were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. 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.

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.
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.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCMENT
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. ASU 2014-11 changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements and requires enhanced disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. This update requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings. This update also eliminates existing guidance for repurchase financings and requires instead that entities consider the initial transfer and the related repurchase agreement separately when applying the derecognition requirements under U.S. GAAP. The accounting changes in this update are effective for fiscal periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is prohibited. At this time, management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2014-11 and its impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have been evaluated regarding 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 of the date the financial statements were issued, except as follows:
Subsequent to October 31, 2015 the following portfolios were added to the Trust: Global X Internet of Things ETF, Global X Healthy Lifestyles ETF, Global X Big Data ETF, Global X FinTech ETF and Global X Conscious Companies ETF.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
October 31, 2015 |
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Global X Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of 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 Southeast Asia ETF, Global X FTSE Andean 40 ETF, Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X Brazil Mid Cap ETF, Global X Brazil Consumer ETF, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF, Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF, Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF, Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF, Global X FTSE Portugal 20 ETF, and Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF (nineteen of the series constituting the Global X Funds) (the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years or periods then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years or periods then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed above at October 31, 2015, the results of their operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years or periods then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years or periods then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited) |
|
ETFs 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 a 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 from May 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015.
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 “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Supplemental Information (unaudited) |
|
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 the Funds’ holdings. The Market Price of the Funds will fluctuate in accordance with changes in their NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of 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 www.GlobalXFunds.com.

Global X SuperIncome™ Preferred ETF
Global X SuperIncome™ Preferred ETF
The Global X SuperIncome™ Preferred ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P Enhanced Yield North American Preferred Stock Index (“Underlying Index”).The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the performance of the highest dividend-yielding preferred securities in the United States and Canada, as determined by the index provider. The Underlying Index is comprised of preferred stocks that meet certain criteria relating to size, liquidity, issuer concentration and rating, maturity and other requirements, as determined by the index provider. The Underlying Index does not seek to directly reflect the performance of the companies issuing the preferred stock.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 1.95%, while the Underlying Index decreased 0.60%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.74 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.49 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Annaly Capital Management and Digital Realty Trust, which returned 60.08% and 58.94%, respectively. The worst performers were Southwestern Energy and ArcelorMittal, which returned -53.41% and -51.91%, respectively.
The Fund invests in certain of the highest dividend-yielding preferred shares in the United States and Canada. Preferred shares held by the Fund issued by companies in the Financials, Consumer Goods, Consumer Services, and Telecommunications sectors had positive total returns. Preferred shares held by the Fund issued by companies in the Energy and Materials sectors suffered from falling commodity prices, which led to declining credit quality and widening credit spreads.

Global X Social Media Index ETF
Global X Social Media Index ETF
The Global X Social Media Index ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Social Media Total Return Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the equity performance of the largest and most liquid companies involved in the social media industry, including companies that provide social networking, file sharing, and other web-based media applications, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 0.00%, while the Index increased 0.28%. The Fund had a net asset value of $19.30 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $19.29 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from XING and NEXON, which returned 88.12% and 63.58%, respectively. The worst performers were Yelp, Cl A and Groupon, Cl A, which returned -62.92% and -49.25%, respectively.
The social media industry faced high growth expectations, but largely delivered with meaningful revenue expansion during the reporting period. Future growth expectations remain high as investors expect social media platforms to continue to attract new users and monetize their networks. In November 2014, the number of global internet users crossed 3 billion, which is nearly half the world's population, but social media has a global penetration of only 30%. As more people in emerging markets gain internet access, social networks will need to continue to attract these users and convert them into additional revenue.

Global X | JPMorgan Efficiente Index ETF
Global X | JPMorgan Efficiente Index ETF
The Global X | JPMorgan Efficiente Index ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the JPMorgan ETF Efficiente 10 TR Series X Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the total return performance of a portfolio of eleven exchange-traded funds (each, an "ETF") and two exchange-traded products (each an "ETP") (each ETP and ETF, a "Constituent" and together the "Constituents"), as defined by the index provider. The share prices of the ETFs and ETPs are expected to track the performance of equities or bonds in developed or emerging markets, real estate investments, U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, a single commodity or a portfolio of commodity futures contracts. The Underlying Index allocates index weights among the Constituents based on a proprietary methodology created by the index provider. On a monthly basis and subject to certain weighting constraints, the Underlying Index is rebalanced to reallocate index weights among the Constituents so that the resulting portfolio would have had the highest return during the previous six months and an annualized volatility level of 10% or less over the same period (subject to upward adjustment under limited circumstances). This methodology is informed by the “modern portfolio theory” approach to asset allocation, which suggests that an investor allocate assets in a manner that maximizes return for a given risk appetite. Since the index weights assigned to the Constituents at each monthly rebalancing are determined based on past performance, there is no guarantee that any monthly rebalancing will result in the Underlying Index achieving the highest possible returns for the relevant month.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 6.37%, while the Underlying Index decreased 5.72%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.49 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.72 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Vanguard REIT Index Fund and iShares iBoxx USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF, which returned 3.23% and 1.51%, respectively. The worst performers were Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF and Vanguard Developed Markets Index Fund ETF, which returned -19.73% and -8.87%, respectively.
Over the reporting period, the Fund had an approximate average weighting of 37.1% in ETFs with exposure to developed market equities, 27.1% in ETFs with exposure to Bonds, 12.5% in ETFs with exposure to Emerging Markets, 10.8% in ETFs with exposure to Alternatives, and 12.5% in ETFs with exposure to Short Term US Treasuries or Inflation Protected Securities. The Fund allocated 50% of its exposure to an ETF accessing short term US Treasuries from August 2015 to October 2015.

Global X | JPMorgan US Sector Rotator Index ETF
Global X | JPMorgan US Sector Rotator Index ETF
The Global X | JPMorgan US Sector Rotator Index ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the JPMorgan US Sector Rotator TR Series X Index (“Underlying Index”), which is composed of underlying equity exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and a fixed income ETF. The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index aims to participate in the best-performing U.S. sectors of the market while limiting its exposure to the market during periods of high volatility or market declines, as defined by the index provider. The Underlying Index rebalances monthly to reflect changing market conditions by tracking the performance of a portfolio that may include a U.S. Treasury Bond ETF and zero to five ETFs selected out of a pool of ten U.S. sector ETFs. The sectors represented by the U.S. sector ETFs are: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, healthcare, industrial, utilities, materials, technology and real estate. On each monthly rebalancing date, the Underlying Index seeks to select up to five U.S. sector ETFs with the highest positive performance during the prior month. The Underlying Index will include an allocation to the U.S. Treasury Bond ETF if fewer than five U.S. sector ETFs have positive performance during the prior month. The U.S. sector ETFs selected for inclusion in the Underlying Index each month are equal-volatility weighted, based on each U.S. sector ETF’s realized volatility during the prior month, meaning that each U.S. sector ETF has the same amount of volatility contribution to the Underlying Index as of such monthly rebalancing date. If the overall realized volatility of the portfolio of selected U.S. sector ETFs exceeds 20%, based on each U.S. sector ETF’s realized volatility during the prior month, the weight assigned on a monthly rebalancing date to each U.S. sector ETF is adjusted down proportionally and the exposure is re-allocated to the U.S. Treasury Bond ETF in order to reduce the overall volatility of the Underlying Index to 20% as of such monthly rebalancing date. Since the index weights assigned to the U.S. Sector ETF and the U.S. Treasury Bond ETF are determined on past performance, there is no guarantee that any monthly rebalancing will result in the Underlying Index achieving the highest possible returns for the relevant month.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 6.90%, while the Underlying Index decreased 6.07%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.41 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.55 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund and Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund, which returned 6.32% and 0.52%, respectively. The worst performers were Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund and Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, which returned -12.71% and -7.74%, respectively.
Over the reporting period, the Fund had an approximate average weighting of 25% to ETFs with exposure to short term US Treasuries, 11.9% to ETFs with exposure to Consumer Discretionary stocks, and 10.9% exposure to ETFs with exposure to real estate investment trusts. From July 2015 to Octobter 2015, the Fund became very defensive, with an approximate average exposure of 60% to ETFs accessing short term US Treasuries, as US market volatility increased and many individual sector ETFs produced negative returns.

Global X Permanent ETF
The Global X Permanent ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Permanent Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund utilizes a "sampling" methodology to seek to achieve its investment objective.
The Underlying Index tracks the performance of four asset class categories that are designed to perform differently across different economic environments, as defined by the index provider. On each rebalance, the Underlying Index allocates 25% each to four asset class categories, as follows: stocks, U.S. Treasury Bonds (long- term), U.S. Treasury Bills and Bonds (short-term), and gold and silver.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 0.25%, while the Underlying Index increased 0.11%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.11 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.94 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Amazon.com and Facebook, Cl A, which returned 104.90% and 35.98%, respectively. The worst performers were Glencore Xstrata and Potash Corp of Saskatchewan, which returned -63.96% and -40.80%, respectively.
The Fund seeks to provide generally equal exposure to equities, short term treasuries, long term treasuries, and precious metals. Over the reporting period, the Fund's exposures across asset classes with low correlations to each other resulted in an annualized volatility of approximately 8.8%.

Global X Guru™ Index ETF
The Global X Guru™ Index ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Guru Index (“Underlying Index”).The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is comprised of the top U.S. listed equity positions reported on Form 13F by a select group of entities characterized as hedge funds, as defined by the index provider. Hedge funds are selected from a pool of thousands of privately offered pooled investment vehicles based on the size of their reported equity holdings and the efficacy of replicating their publicly disclosed positions. Hedge funds must have minimum reported holdings of $500 million in their Form 13F to be considered for the Underlying Index. Additional filters are applied to eliminate hedge funds that have high turnover rates for equity holdings. Only hedge funds with a concentrated top holding are included in the selection process. Once the hedge fund pool has been determined, the Index Provider utilizes Form 13F filings to compile the top stock holding from each of these hedge funds. The stocks are screened for liquidity, equal weighted, and rebalanced quarterly following the Form 13F filing timeline.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 7.94%, while the Underlying Index decreased 7.60%. The Fund had a net asset value of $26.30 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.96 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from CDW and NIKE, Cl B, which returned 45.98% and 42.5%, respectively. The worst performers were Arbutus Biopharma and Horizon Pharma, which returned -51.24% and -50.75%, respectively.
The Fund invests in many of the top U.S. listed equity positions reported on Form 13F by major hedge funds. Over the course of the reporting period, the underperformance of hedge fund picks in the Health Care industry (more specifically the Pharamceuticals industry) weighed heavily on the Fund's performance. Stocks held by the Fund in the Pharamceuticals industry were down approximately 25%, with the majority of losses occurring during October 2015. Pharmaceuticals had an average weight of 8.2% over the course of the reporting period. The Energy sector also contributed negatively to the fund's returns, as stocks held from that sector fell nearly 27.3% and had an average weight of 5.5% in the fund.

Global X Guru™ Activist Index ETF
The Global X Guru™ Activist Index ETF ("Fund") seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Guru Activist Index ("Underlying Index'').The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is comprised of US listed equity positions reported on Form 13F and Schedule 13D by a select group of entities characterized as premier activist investors, as defined by the index provider. Activist investors are defined by the index provider as investors that aim to buy securities to put public pressure on management to increase shareholder value. Once the pool of activist investors has been determined, the index provider utilizes Form13F filings and Schedule 13D filings to compile the top 50 aggregate stock holdings held by the pool of activist investors, after screening for certain liquidity and market capitalization requirements. The stocks are equal weighted and rebalanced quarterly following the Form 13F filing timeline. On a monthly basis, securities may be added to or removed from the Underlying Index as a result of Schedule 13D filings.
For the period from the Fund's commencement date on April 28, 2015 through October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 10.83%, while the Underlying Index decreased 10.70%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.05 per share on April 28, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.42 on October 31, 2015.

The Fund invests in certain U.S. listed equity positions held by activist investors. Activist investors seek to unlock unrealized value for shareholders by effecting major changes in target companies. Traditionally, an activist investor will purchase a large number of shares in a company with the objective of accumulating enough voting power to swing company proxy votes. Through these proxy votes, an activist investor will seek to obtain seats on a company’s board of directors, allowing for considerable influence over the company’s strategy, governance, and policies. More recently, activist investors have incorporated highly public campaigns into their strategies via appearances on TV news outlets and social media to galvanize other investors to their cause and to increase pressure on the company’s senior management and board. The Fund's exposures to energy and materials stocks weighed negatively on returns while its exposure to consumer staples was a positive.

Global X Guru™ International Index ETF
Global X Guru™ International Index ETF
The Global X Guru™ International Index ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Guru International Index (“Underlying Index”).The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is comprised of international companies reported on Form 13F by hedge funds and other institutional investors, as defined by the index provider. Hedge funds are selected from a pool of thousands of privately offered pooled investment vehicles based on the size of their reported equity holdings and the efficacy of replicating their publicly disclosed positions. Institutional investors are selected based on the qualitative factor of whether they have a strong management team with a track record of creating shareholder value. Additional filters are applied to exclude the holdings of hedge funds and institutional investors that report less than $500 million in holdings on their Form 13F or that have high turnover rates for equity holdings, as defined by the index provider. Once the pool of investors has been determined, the index provider utilizes Form 13F filings to compile 50 stocks that represent the top international positions from these investors. The stocks must meet minimum size and liquidity thresholds to be included in the Underlying Index. Stocks in the Underlying Index are equal weighted and rebalanced quarterly following the Form 13F filing timeline.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 15.31%, while the Underlying Index decreased 14.69%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.62 per share on October 31, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.13 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Ctrip.com International ADR and Talisman Energy, Inc. which returned 126.37% and 70.08%, respectively. The worst performers were Altisource Portfolio Solutions SA and Arbutus Biopharma, which returned -64.08% and -59.66%, respectively.
The Fund invests in international stocks reported on Form 13F by hedge funds and other institutional investors. During the reporting period, the Fund had a 10% average weighting to China, which contributed positively to the Fund's performance, while a 10% average weighting to Brazil weighed on the Fund's performance.

Global X GF China Bond ETF
Global X GF China Bond ETF
The Global X GF China Bond ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P China Composite Select Bond Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund utilizes a "sampling" methodology to seek to acheive its investment objective.
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to RMB-denominated bonds that are issued or distributed within mainland China. The Underlying Index, strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, includes securities with a minimum maturity of one year and with an outstanding principal amount of RMB 1 billion. The Underlying Index is composed of RMB denominated bonds issued by governments, agencies, and Central State-Owned Enterprises (CSOEs). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing directly in Chinese bonds issued or distributed in the PRC. Because the Fund does not satisfy the criteria to qualify as a Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor ("RQFII") or Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor ("QFII") itself, the Fund invests directly in RMB-denominated bonds via the RQFII quota of the Fund’s sub-adviser, GF International Investment Management Limited ("GFIIM" or “Sub-Adviser”). The Sub-Adviser has obtained RQFII status and has been granted an RQFII quota of at least 500 Million RMB (“RQFII quota”), which the Sub-Adviser will use all or a portion of to invest the portion of the Fund’s assets allocated to it by the Adviser in RMB-denominated bonds. At such time that the Sub-Adviser has utilized its entire RQFII quota, the Sub-Adviser may, subject to applicable regulations, apply for an increase of the RQFII quota. Assets not allocated to the Sub-Adviser for investment directly in RMB-denominated bonds are managed by the adviser.
For the period from the Fund's commencement date on November 18, 2014 through October 31, 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 1.67%, while the Underlying Index increased 2.64%. The Fund had a net asset value of $38.00 per share on November 18, 2014 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $37.56 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Export Import Bank China and China North Industries Group, which returned 8.65% and 4.78%, respectively. The worst performers were China Development Bank and China Government Bond, which returned -30.42% and -8.34%, respectively.
In the third quarter of 2015, China's gross domestic product grew by 6.9%, its slowest rate since the global economic crisis. The Chinese government has implemented a series of economic stimulus measures to maintain high economic growth rates, such as devaluing the currency, lowering interest rates, and easing bank reserve requirements. These measures have had a mixed impact on the Fund. Devaluation of the yuan versus the dollar resulted in negative price returns for investors, but interest rate cuts have boosted price returns of the underlying bonds. The International Monetary Fund announced that it will be adding the yuan to its special drawing rights (SDR) basket, effectively making the yuan a global reserve currency, which could result in more purchasing of yuan-denominated assets such as Chinese onshore bonds.

Global X Scientific Beta US ETF
Global X Scientific Beta US ETF
The Global X Scientific Beta US ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Scientific Beta United States Multi-Beta Multi-Strategy Equal Risk Contribution Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index generally comprises approximately 500 or less U.S. listed common stocks selected based on a proprietary methodology developed by the index provider. The objective of the Underlying Index is to outperform traditional market capitalization-weighted indexes, with lower volatility. The Underlying Index’s components are selected by applying four factors that have been widely recognized by academic literature to outperform market capitalization weighted-indexes over the long run: Value, Size, Low-Volatility and Momentum. Each of these factors is applied by using the following metrics: price-to-book ratio for Value; free-float market capitalization for Size; historical volatility over the trailing 104 week period for Low-Volatility; and one-year-minus-one-month total returns for Momentum. Finally, components are weighted by employing a proprietary, multi-step process that combines multiple weighting methodologies to diversify the risks associated with any one weighting scheme.
For the period from the Fund's commencement date on May 12, 2015 through October, 31 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 0.92%, while the Underlying Index decreased 0.79%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.90 per share on May 12, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $24.67 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Amazon.com and Activision Blizzard, which returned 40.34% and 38.1%, respectively. The worst performers were Keurig Green Mountain and Southwestern Energy, which returned -50.33% and -49.57%, respectively.
Over the reporting period, the Fund had a 20.4% weighting to stocks in the Financials sector, with other large exposures of 14.6% to the Technology sector, 13.6% to the Consumer Services sector, and 13.1% to the Consumer Goods sector and 13.1% to the Health Care sector. The Fund had an approximate average exposure of 20% to Low Volatility stocks, 24% to Mid Cap stocks, 29% to Value stocks, and 27% to Momentum stocks, as defined by the index provider.

Global X YieldCo Index ETF
Global X YieldCo Index ETF
The Global X YieldCo Index ETF (“Fund”) seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the INDXX Global Yieldco Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index comprises publicly traded companies that are formed to own operating assets that produce defined cash flows (“Yieldcos”), as well as companies that have publicly announced plans to spin-off a YieldCo in an initial public offering, as determined by the index provider. The components of the Underlying Index are YieldCos selected from the universe of global publicly listed equities, which have a minimum market capitalization of $500 million and an Average Daily Value Traded (“ADVT”) over the last three months greater than $1 million. If less than 20 securities satisfy this criteria, the market capitalization and ADVT requirements are lowered. If there are still fewer than 20 securities, the parent companies of proposed YieldCos with the nearest anticipated listing dates will be included in the Underlying Index until there are 20 Underlying Index constituents. If a parent company is a part of the Underlying Index, and its corresponding YieldCo becomes publicly listed, the listed YieldCo will replace the parent entity in the Underlying Index during the subsequent index rebalance. Underlying Index constituents are ranked by market capitalization. The remaining securities are weighted based on their market capitalization, with a cap of 4.75% on any of the securities falling outside of the top five by market capitalization. If any parent companies of YieldCos are Underlying Index constituents, they are each capped at a 4.75% weighting. Companies that are structured as partnerships are capped at a 25% weighting in the aggregate.
For the period from the Fund's commencement date on May 27, 2015 through October, 31 2015 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 26.39%, while the Underlying Index decreased 26.23%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.19 per share on May 27, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.06 on October 31, 2015.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from 8point3 Energy Partners and Greencoat UK Wind, which returned 6.49% and 2.82%, respectively. The worst performers were SunEdison and TerraForm Power, Cl A, which returned -65.4% and -53.86%, respectively.
Soon after the Fund launched, the Energy sector experienced a heavy selloff as falling energy prices cut into profitability. Despite the long term contracted nature of the solar and wind projects held by YieldCos, many market participants became worried that renewable energy sources would fall out of favor with cheap fossil fuel prices. In addition, some have commented that the plethora of initial public offerings of YieldCos resulted in too much supply of YieldCo shares in the market, which hurt prices.

* Fund commenced operations on May 27, 2015. Total return is for the period indicated and has not been annualized.
The S&P 500 Index is a market capitalization weighted composite index of 500 large capitalization U.S. companies.
The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, it may be worth less than its original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a Fund's returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.
There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.
The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.
The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption or sale of Fund shares.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
USE OF ESTIMATES – The Funds are investment companies that apply the accounting and reporting guidance issued in Topic 946 by the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (“MLPs”) – Certain funds may invest in MLPs. MLPs are publicly traded partnerships engaged in the transportation, storage and processing of minerals and natural resources. By confining their operations to these specific activities, their interests, or units, are able to trade on public securities exchanges exactly like the shares of a corporation, without entity level taxation. To qualify as a MLP and to not be taxed as a corporation, a partnership must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources as set forth in Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). These qualifying sources include natural resource-based activities such as the processing, transportation and storage of mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners: the general partner and limited partners. The general partner of an MLP is typically owned by a major energy company, an investment fund, the direct management of the MLP, or is an entity owned by one or more of such parties. The general partner may be structured as a private or publicly traded corporation or other entity. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP through an up to 2% equity interest in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (“MLPs”) (concluded)
Limited partners typically own the remainder of the partnership, through ownership of common units, and have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. MLPs are typically structured such that common units and general partner interests have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up to an established minimum amount (“minimum quarterly distributions” or “MQD”). Common and general partner interests also accrue arrearages in distributions to the extent the MQD is not paid. Once common and general partner interests have been paid, subordinated units receive distributions of up to the MQD; however, subordinated units do not accrue arrearages. Distributable cash in excess of the MQD is paid to both common and subordinated units and is distributed to both common and subordinated units generally on a pro rata basis. The general partner is also eligible to receive incentive distributions if the general partner operates the business in a manner which results in distributions paid per common unit surpassing specified target levels. As the general partner increases cash distributions to the limited partners, the general partner receives an increasingly higher percentage of the incremental cash distributions.
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 EST 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 as of the reporting date. The exchange rates used by the Trust for valuation are captured as of the New York or London close each day. 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 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 its primary trading exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or, trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the

SECURITY VALUATION (concluded)
Funds may fair value their securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ securities that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Global X Management Company LLC (the “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. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration all relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. As of October 31, 2015, there were $144,634 and $17,231 of fair valued securities in the Global X SuperDividend® REIT ETF and Global X Scientific Beta Asia ex-Japan ETF, respectively. There were no other securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received 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
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, and fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.
For the year or period ended October 31, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
October 31, 2015 |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by Citibank, N.A. and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by its custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.
It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event that the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations, and the Funds are prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (included in Repurchase Agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.
At October 31, 2015, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

| | Repurchase Agreements | | | Collateral Received | | | Received | | | Net Amount(1) | |

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES – It is each Fund’s intention to qualify, or continue to qualify, as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements except as described below.
During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Global X SuperIncomeTM Preferred ETF incurred federal excise tax in the amount of $3,118. No other 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.
As of and during the year or period ended October 31, 2015, 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. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (concluded)
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.
INVESTMENTS IN REITs — With respect to the Funds, dividend income is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from real estate investment trust (“REIT”) investments using published REIT reclassifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of these estimated amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.
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 to Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the Funds’ custodian (“Custodian”), on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.
If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The following differences, primarily attributable to foreign currency, redemptions in-kind, REIT adjustments, MLP dividends, return of capital distribution and sales of passive foreign investment companies have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015:

For taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, a RIC is permitted to carry forward net capital losses to offset capital gains realized in later years, and the losses carried forward retain their original character as either long-term or short-term losses. Net capital losses of a RIC realized in taxable years beginning before that date (pre-2011 losses) can be carried forward up to 8 years and are characterized in later years as short-term losses. If a Fund uses pre-2011 loss carryforwards in later years, the carryforwards will not reduce the Fund’s current earnings and profits, while loss carryforwards from later years will reduce the Fund’s current earnings and profits. To the extent that later year capital gains are offset by pre-2011 loss carryforwards, distributions of such gains will be treated as ordinary dividend distributions. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The securities markets of emerging countries are less liquid, subject to greater price volatility, and have a smaller market capitalization than those of 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 they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (concluded)
investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds (other than the Global X GF China Bond ETF and the Global X Permanent ETF) use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of an underlying index in approximately the same proportions as in the underlying index. The Funds (other than the Global X GF China Bond ETF and the Global X Permanent ETF) 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 their underlying indices, 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).
Because of the practical difficulties and expense of purchasing all of the securities in their respective underlying indexes, the Global X GF China Bond ETF and the Global X Permanent ETF do not expect to purchase all of the securities in their underlying indexes. Instead, the Adviser will utilize a “sampling” methodology in seeking to achieve the Funds’ objective. As such, the Funds may purchase a subset of the securities in their respective underlying index in an effort to hold a portfolio of securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the underlying index.
7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
The Funds may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of the Funds’ total assets. Security loans made pursuant to a securities lending agreement are required at all times to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% for U.S.-based securities and 105% for foreign-based securities. Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements or U.S. Treasury obligations and is recognized in the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loans were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. The Funds could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
As of October 31, 2015 the value of securities on loan was $44,921,955, $10,251,104, $4,907,868, $3,423,061 and $2,248,289 for the Global X SuperDividend® ETF, Global X SuperDividend® U.S. ETF, Global X SuperIncome™ Preferred ETF, Global X Social Media Index ETF and Global X Guru™ Index ETF, respectively and the value of securities purchased with the cash collateral held from securities on loan was $46,835,301, $10,708,555, $5,029,200, $3,529,751 and $2,487,600 for the Global X SuperDividend® ETF, Global X SuperDividend® U.S. ETF, Global X SuperIncome™ Preferred ETF, Global X Social Media Index ETF and Global X Guru™ Index ETF, respectively.

8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these 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.
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. SHARE SPLIT
Effective March 11, 2015, the Global X GF China Bond ETF executed a share split after the close of markets on March 10, 2015. The effect of this transaction was to multiply the number of outstanding shares of the Fund by two, resulting in a corresponding proportionate decrease in the net asset value per share. The capital share activity presented in the statement of changes in net assets and per share data in the financial highlights has been given retroactive effect to reflect these share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of these transactions.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. ASU 2014-11 changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements and requires enhanced disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. This update requires repurchase-to-maturity transactions to be accounted for as secured borrowings. This update also eliminates existing guidance for repurchase financings and requires instead that entities consider the initial transfer and the related repurchase agreement separately when applying the derecognition requirements under U.S. GAAP. The accounting changes in this update are effective for fiscal periods and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and early adoption is prohibited. At this time, management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2014-11 and its impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have been evaluated regarding 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 of the date the financial statements were issued, except as follows:
Subsequent to October 31, 2015, the following investment portfolios were added to the Trust: Global X Internet of Things ETF, Global X Healthy Lifestyle ETF, Global X Big Data ETF, Global X FinTech ETF, and Global X Conscious Companies ETF.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Global X Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Global X SuperDividend® ETF, Global X SuperDividend® U.S. ETF, Global X SuperDividend® Emerging Markets ETF, Global X SuperDividend® REIT ETF, Global X SuperIncomeTM Preferred ETF, Global X Social Media Index ETF, Global X | JPMorgan Efficiente Index ETF, Global X | JPMorgan US Sector Rotator Index ETF, Global X Permanent ETF, Global X GuruTM Index ETF, Global X GuruTM Activist Index ETF, Global X GuruTM International Index ETF, Global X GF China Bond ETF, Global X Scientific Beta US ETF, Global X Scientific Beta Europe ETF, Global X Scientific Beta Japan ETF, Global X Scientific Beta Asia ex-Japan ETF, and Global X YieldCo Index ETF (eighteen of the series constituting the Global X Funds) (the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years or periods then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds listed above at October 31, 2015, the results of their operations for the year or period then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years or periods then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited) |
|
All ETFs 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, commissions, 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 a Fund.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its 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 (May 1, 2015 through October 31, 2015).
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 Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT(unaudited) |
|
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), requires the board of trustees of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), including a majority of those trustees who are not "interested persons" of the ETF, as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees"), consider on an initial basis and periodically thereafter (as required by the 1940 Act), at an in person meeting called for such purpose, the terms of each fund’s investment advisory agreement and whether to approve entering into, or renewing, each agreement.
At a Board meeting held on April 21, 2015, the Board of Trustees (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately) initially considered and unanimously approved (i) the initial Investment Advisory Agreement for the Global X YieldCo Index ETF and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Global X YieldCo Index ETF, and Global X Management Company (“Global X Management”). At a quarterly Board meeting held on March 10, 2015, the Board of Trustees (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately) initially considered and unanimously approved (i) the initial Investment Advisory Agreement for the Global X Scientific Beta US ETF, Global X Scientific Beta Europe ETF, Global X Scientific Beta Asia ex-Japan ETF, and Global X Scientific Beta Japan ETF and (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of these funds, and Global X Management.
The Global X YieldCo Index ETF, Global X Scientific Beta US ETF, Global X Scientific Beta Europe ETF, Global X Scientific Beta Asia ex-Japan ETF, and Global X Scientific Beta Japan ETF are referred to herein as the “New Funds.” The Investment Advisory Agreements and Supervision and Administration Agreements for each New Fund are referred to herein as the “New Fund Agreements.”
In advance of the Board meeting, the Board (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees) and the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel requested (in writing) detailed information from Global X Management in connection with their consideration of the New Fund Agreements and received and reviewed written responses from Global X Management and supporting materials relating to those requests for information. In the course of their consideration of the New Fund Agreements, the Trust’s Independent Trustees were advised by their counsel and, in addition to meeting with management of Global X Management, they met separately in executive session with their counsel.
In determining to approve the New Fund Agreements for each New Fund, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the factors discussed at greater detail below. After full consideration of the factors below, as well as other factors that were instructive in their consideration, the Board, including all of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, concluded, in the exercise of their business judgement, that the New Fund Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each New Fund. 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. Each member of the Board may have afforded different weight to the various factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
| • | the terms of the New Fund Agreements and the range of services to be provided to each New Fund in accordance with the New Fund Agreements; |
| • | Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would provide investment advisory services to each New Fund; |
| • | Global X Management’s responsibilities under the New Fund Agreements to, among other things, (i) manage the investment operations of each New Fund 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 the Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights |

|
| | appertaining to securities and assets held by each New Fund, (iv) select broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for each New Fund when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of each New Fund, the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statement of additional information, and other reports and documents for each New Fund 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 New Fund by shareholders and new investors; |
| • | the nature, extent and quality of Global X Management’s services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that would be made available to each New Fund; and |
| • | the quality of Global X Management’s resources and personnel that would be made available to each New Fund, including Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to each New Fund.
Performance
The Board determined that because each New Fund 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 Fund Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
| • | Global X Management’s expected costs to provide investment management, supervision and administrative and related services to each New Fund; |
| • | The 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 New Fund and all aspects of the relationship between Global X Management and each New Fund. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the proposed Management Fee rate paid by each Fund to Global X Management, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, was reasonable and in the best interests of Fund shareholders.
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
| • | comparative information with respect to the proposed Management Fee to be paid to Global X Management by each New Fund. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with comparative expense data for each New Fund, including fees paid by unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and/or other registered funds |
| • | the structure of the proposed unitary Management Fee (which includes as one component the proposed investment advisory fee for each New Fund) and the expected total expense ratios for each New Fund. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a |
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT(unaudited) |
|
| | unitary Management Fee structure for each New Fund 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 New Fund 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. The Board also took into consideration that each New Fund, unlike other series of the Trust, would invest substantially in other exchange traded funds, and that the unitary fee for each New Fund is based on services provided that will be in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provided under the advisory contract(s) of any exchange traded fund in which a New Fund may invest ; and |
| • | that Global X Management would be responsible for most ordinary expenses of each New Fund, including the costs of various third-party services required by each New Fund, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that each New Fund would bear other expenses not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interest of the New Funds and their shareholders to approve the New Fund Agreements.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
| • | the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each New Fund 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 New Fund in order to seek to assure that each New Fund is attractive to investors; and |
| • | that the proposed unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for each New Fund and its shareholders. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that approval of the proposed Management Fee for each New Fund was reasonable.
Other Benefits
In considering the New Fund Agreements, 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 New Fund. As a result, the Board concluded that, in the exercise of its business judgement, all information it considered supported approval of the New Fund Agreements.
Supplemental Information (unaudited) |

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 the 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 www.GlobalXFunds.com

Although this fact was taken into consideration in determining whether Mr. Chichester should be considered to be an Independent Trustee for purposes of the Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, it was determined that this relationship was not one that should disqualify Mr. Chichester from serving as an Independent Trustee of the Trust. |
