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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 95.69%, while the Underlying Index increased 97.09%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.83 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $40.61 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Coeur d’Alene Mines and Bear Creek Mining which returned 314.07% and 271.23%, respectively. The worst performers were Primero Mining and Great Panther Silver which returned
-41.3% and -15.08%, respectively.
After falling to a near six year low at the end of 2015, silver prices rebounded sharply in the first half of 2016. The uptrend in prices was driven by dovish central bank policies around the world, which continued the trend of keeping interest rates low. With low rates, the opportunity cost for holding non-yield bearing asset classes, like precious metals remained low. In addition, heighted geopolitical risks around the world drove additional investor assets towards precious metals as a store of value. The profitability and therefore the performance of silver mining companies tends to be leveraged to changes in spot silver prices. Therefore, as the underlying commodity benefited from the macro environment, silver mining stocks benefited disproportionately.

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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 95.95%, while the Underlying Index increased 97.26%. The Fund had a net asset value of $19.89 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $34.95 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from International Tower Hill Mines and Gryphon Minerals which returned 360.35% and 301.79%, respectively. The worst performers were the two Rubicon Minerals stocks, which returned -98.58% and -90.6%.
By the end of 2015, gold prices had reached nearly a 6-year low, which put significant pressure on the gold exploration industry, which tends to benefit from higher gold prices. In early 2016, however, gold prices began to rebound sharply as geopolitical and economic uncertainties came to the forefront, such as the Brexit vote, central bank stimulus packages, and the U.S. presidential elections. Furthermore, increasing demand for physical gold and a weaker U.S. Dollar also supported gold prices during the reporting period. Gold exploration companies are highly sensitive to gold prices, and the increasing value of the yellow metal during the reporting period was a strong contributor of the positive performance of the Fund.

Global X Copper Miners ETF
The Global X Copper 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 Copper 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 copper mining industry, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 18.88%, while the Underlying Index increased 20.21%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.98 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.60 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Teck Resources and KAZ Minerals, which returned 273.91% and 94.74%, respectively. The worst performers were Imperial Metals and KGHM Polska Miedz, which returned -36.52% and -21.01%, respectively.
The performance of copper mining companies tends to be highly correlated to changes in copper prices. In Q1 2016, spot copper prices reached multi-years lows given concerns around global growth, particularly in China, which is a major consumer of raw copper. Copper is used extensively in wiring for vehicles, heavy machinery, and telecommunication networks. Later in the reporting period, broad commodity prices recovered as fears over a hard landing in Chinese economic growth abated, which provided support for a recovery in copper prices. Subsequently, copper mining companies rallied on expectations of higher future profitability.

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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 17.53%, while the Underlying Index decreased 16.42%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.94 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $12.08 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Greenland Minerals and Energy and NexGen Energy, which returned 219.97% and 115.3%, respectively. The worst performers were Uranium Resources and Peninsula Energy, which returned -83.96% and -48.84%, respectively.
Uranium prices came under pressure during the reporting period, given high levels of supply of the commodity in the market. Some of this is due to high stocks of uranium from decommissions weapons, but demand has also suffered as Japan’s uranium consumption remains stifled after the Fukushima disaster, and other countries like Germany are phasing out nuclear power generation. The longer term outlook for the uranium market appears stronger given Japan’s return to nuclear power generation and greater focus on nuclear power from emerging markets like China and India, which have massive power demands but are concerned about air quality.

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.

The Fund had a net asset value of $20.62 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $24.02 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Galaxy Resources and Orocobre, which returned 384.81% and 127.58%, respectively. The worst performers were Blue Solutions and China BAK Battery, which returned -46.32% and -42.81%, respectively.
Demand for lithium has continued to grow as its use in state of the art batteries for electric vehicles, mobile electronics and renewable energy have made it an increasingly important commodity for transportation, telecommunications, and energy storage. While lithium broadly benefited from the general rebound in commodity prices during the reporting period, there has been additional optimism around the adoption of electric vehicles by mainstream consumers. Demand for electric vehicles has grown rapidly, not just among affluent consumers in the US, but among emerging markets like China and India, where simplicity, efficiency, and low emissions are increasingly becoming important features.

Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF
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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 11.15%, while the Underlying Index decreased 11.13%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.98 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $8.56 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Sirius Minerals and Sociedad Quimica Y Minera De Chile, which returned 66.54% and 57.13%, respectively. The worst performers were Intrepid Potash and OCI, which returned -67.1% and -51.2%, respectively.
The fertilizers and potash market experienced significant price declines during the period, due in part to delays by China in signing key supply contracts and a flooding of the market with too much supply. North America and Europe are the two major regions for potash and fertilizer production, while China, India and Brazil are the key importers. This dynamic can make the industry sensitive to fluctuations in exchange rates, trade policies, and emerging market growth rates. The expansion of fertilizer production projects, the delay in buyer purchases and falling incomes from farms all contributed to the pressure on fertilizer prices during the period.

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, 2016, the Trust had one hundred portfolios, fifty-four 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.
RETURN OF CAPITAL ESTIMATES — Distributions received by the Funds from underlying master limited partnership (“MLP”) investments generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from the MLPs and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on 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

SECURITY VALUATION (continued)
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 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, 2016, there was $11,083 of fair valued securities in Global X Gold Explorers ETF, $199,385 of fair valued securities in the Global X Copper Miners ETF and $0 of fair valued securities in the Global X Fertilizers/Potash 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

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SECURITY VALUATION (concluded)
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 ended October 31, 2016 there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
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) Excess collateral received is not presented in the table above. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the market value of the collateral received for each Fund.
(2) Net Amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
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.
If the Funds have foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.
As of and during the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 (continued)
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on 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:

CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with BBH, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of LIBOR plus 2.00%. Cash overdraft charges are included in custodian fees on the Statements of Operations.
3. RELATED PARTIES AND SERVICE PROVIDER TRANSACTIONS
The Adviser serves as the investment adviser and the administrator for the Funds. Subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, the Adviser is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds and the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters and provides or causes to be furnished all supervisory, administrative and other services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds, including certain distribution services (provided pursuant to a separate distribution services agreement), certain shareholder and distribution-related services (provided pursuant to a separate Rule 12b-1 Plan and related agreements) and investment advisory services (provided pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement), under what is essentially an "all-in" fee structure. For its service to the Funds, under the supervision and administration agreement, each Fund pays a monthly fee to the Adviser at the annual rate (stated as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund). In addition, the Funds bear other expenses, directly and indirectly, that are not covered by the supervision and administration agreement, which may vary and affect the total expense ratios of the Funds, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, acquired fund fees and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses (such as litigation and indemnification expenses).

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

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, 2016, the Funds that had capital loss carryforwards are listed below:
| | Global X Silver | | | Global X Gold | | | Global X | | | Global X | |

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, the following fund utilized capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.
Global X Funds | | | |
Global X Gold Explorers ETF | | $ | 278,233 | |
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:

The preceding differences between book and tax cost are primarily due to mark-to-market treatment of passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
October 31, 2016 |
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (concluded)
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.
A more complete description of risks is included is each Fund’s prospectus and SAI.
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% of the value of domestic equity securities and ADRs and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). 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, 2016, the value of securities on loan was $10,710,032, $5,595,578, $2,130,405, $6,448,642 and $1,707,966 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 $11,205,555, $5,814,511, $2,210,696, $7,694,203 and $1,768,452 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.

Effective November 1, 2015, the Funds changed their method for estimating the characterization of amounts distributed by master limited partnerships, which correspondingly impacted the net investment income, cost of investments and appreciation (depreciation) on investments and the associated financial highlight ratios and per share disclosures to the extent that the fund recorded investment income that differed from amounts previously estimated. There is no impact to net assets, total return or the expense ratio in the current period or future periods as a result of management’s change in methodology.
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. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT
Effective May 16, 2013, the Global X Gold Explorers ETF and Global X Uranium ETF executed a 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 Fund by the ratio below, resulting in a corresponding increase in the net asset value per share. The capital share activity presented in the statement of changes in net assets for each of the years in the period then ended, and per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended have been given retroactive effect to reflect these reverse share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of these transactions. The details of the reverse splits are as follows:
May 16, 2013:
Fund Name | | Ratio |
Global X Gold Explorers ETF | | 1:4 |
Global X Uranium ETF | | 1:3 |
Effective November 18, 2015, the Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Uranium ETF and the Global X Lithium ETF executed a reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of markets on November 17, 2015. The effect of this transaction was to divide the number of outstanding shares of the Fund by the ratio below, resulting in a corresponding increase in the net asset value per share. The capital share activity presented in the statement of changes in net assets for each of the years in the period then ended, and per share data in the financial highlights for each of the years in the period then ended have been given retroactive effect to reflect these reverse share splits. There were no changes in net assets, results of operations or total return as a result of these transactions. The details of the reverse splits are as follows:
November 18, 2015:
Fund Name | | Ratio |

11. REGULATORY MATTERS
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule which introduces two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies – Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN – also contains amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation, particularly the presentation of derivative investments. Although still evaluating the impact of the Rule, management believes that many of the Regulation S-X amendments are consistent with the Portfolios’ current financial statement presentation and expects that the Funds will be able to comply with the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments by the August 1, 2017 compliance date.

12. 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:
New Series
Subsequent to October 31, 2016, the following investment series of the Trust was launched: Global X MSCI SuperDividend® EAFE ETF.
Index Change for the Global X Gold Explorers ETF
The Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the adoption of a new index as outlined in the table below. The new index will increase the diversification and improve the liquidity characteristics of the Fund.
| Old Index | New Index |
Index | Solactive Global Gold Explorers Total Return Index | Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Index |
Index Components | 21 | 43* |
Index Description | The Solactive Global Gold Explorers Total Return Index is designed to measure broad based equity market performance of global companies involved in gold exploration. The stocks are screened for liquidity and weighted according to modified free-float market capitalization. A specific capping methodology is used at the time of the semi-annual index review to seek to assure compliance with the rules governing the listing of financial products on exchanges in the United States. | The Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Index is designed to measure broad based equity market performance of global companies involved in gold exploration, including companies that are engaged in both gold exploration and limited levels of gold production (“Developers”). The stocks are screened for liquidity and weighted according to modified free-float market capitalization. A specific capping methodology is used at the time of the semi-annual index review to seek to assure compliance with the rules governing the listing of financial products on exchanges in the United States. |
*Index constituents for the Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Index are as of September 28, 2016. The number of index constituents may change by the effective date.
The Fund began implementation of the change on or about November 30, 2016, with the change occurring in two phases.
The phase approach is intended to enable the Global X Gold Explorers ETF’s advisor, Global X Management Co. LLC, to make the necessary adjustments to portfolio holdings in a manner that minimizes impact to Fund shareholders. In the first phase, expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Fund will track the Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Transition Index, an interim index that will gradually reduce exposure to small-capitalization stocks

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (concluded)
while proportionately increasing exposure to other stocks based on their weightings in the new index. This first phase is expected to be implemented over the course of approximately six months.
In the second phase, the Fund will begin tracking the Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Index, which is expected to occur upon completion of the first phase.
To protect the Fund from the potential for harmful “front running” by traders, the exact timing of the index changes will not be disclosed to investors. In the meantime, the Fund will continue seeking to track its current index.
The adjustments to the Fund’s portfolio holdings are expected to result in modest, temporary increases in the Fund’s transaction costs and turnover rate. It is important to note that the actual transaction costs, turnover rate, and any other costs will be highly dependent upon a number of factors, including the market environment at the time of the portfolio adjustments. These changes are not expected to increase the expense ratio of the Fund.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
October 31, 2016 |
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Global X Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 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, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") as of October 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and each of their financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended October 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods ended on or prior to October 31, 2015 were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 30, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

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, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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.

Management Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) |
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 comprised 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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 8.57%, while the Underlying Index decreased 7.82%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.72 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.97 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from New Oriental Education & Technology Group and Guangzhou Automobile Group, which returned 82.22% and 40.81%, respectively. The worst performers were Tingyi Cayman Islands Holding and Belle International Holdings, which returned -35.59% and -35.22%, respectively.
China’s most recent five-year development plan was announced shortly before the reporting period and commenced at the beginning of 2016. The plan outlined initiatives to transition China from a manufacturing and export led economy to one that is driven more by China’s ‘new sectors’ such as consumption, technology, and services. In Q1 2016, over 80% of China’s GDP growth came from consumption, demonstrating the importance of this segment to the country’s economic growth. China’s consumer sector continues to benefit from the trend of increasing urbanization and rising wages, both of which are supportive of greater consumption. The sector faces challenges such as high savings rates and a weakening currency.

Global X China Energy ETF
The Global X China Energy ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive China Energy 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 energy sector of the Chinese economy, as defined by the index provider. It is comprised of securities of companies that have their main business operations in the energy sector and generally includes companies whose businesses involve: oil, gas, consumable fuels, alternative energy and electricity production and distribution, and energy equipment and services.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 6.11%, while the Underlying Index decreased 5.34%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.61 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $10.56 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Shougang Fushan Resources Group and Yanzhou Coal Mining, which returned 83.42% and 54.02%, respectively. The worst performers were Shunfeng International Clean Energy and JinkoSolar Holding, which returned -73.51% and -40.48%, respectively.
During the reporting period, the Chinese energy industry experienced slower growth, which is primarily attributed to a general slowdown in China’s economic development. China’s domestic energy demand growth continues to slow as the government implements a series of policies designed to increase energy efficiency and mitigate the negative environmental effects of energy consumption. In addition, global energy prices across a range of energy commodities such as oil and natural gas remained low throughout the reporting period due to excess supply and weak demand. This low price environment put additional pressure on China’s energy companies which may profit off of higher energy prices. While the oil market did recover in the second half of the reporting period, there is still uncertainty as to what impact China’s energy policy will have on traditional as well as renewable energy companies in China.

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 financials sector of the Chinese economy, as defined by the index provider. It is comprised of securities of companies that have their main business operations in the financials sector and generally includes companies whose businesses involve: banking; insurance, real estate, and financial services.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 2.56%, while the Underlying Index decreased 1.74%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.90 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.80 on October 31, 2016.

Over the course of the reporting period, China’s financial stocks sported low valuations as investors have generally shied away from the sector, which has been criticized for liberal lending policies. During the period, the percentage of non-performing loans (NPLs) increased as the slowing economy impacted China’s weaker borrowers. To the sector’s benefit, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has been cutting the required reserve ratio, most recently in February 2016, which makes more money available for lending, which can potentially increase bank profits.

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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 8.75%, while the Underlying Index increased 9.57%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.07 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.72 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Telekomunikasi Indonesia and Astra International, which returned 66.98% and 49.76%, respectively. The worst performers were PLDT and Advanced Info Service, which returned -29.94% and -28.42%, respectively.
The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) – which includes Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, among other countries — remains one of the more dynamic regions in the global economy. Collectively the ASEAN region has delivered impressive productivity growth despite facing headwinds from a weak global recovery and the slowdown in China’s economic growth, a key trading partner for the region. Indonesia has been a particular bright spot, with the rupiah outperforming most other Asian currencies. The Philippine economy also experienced positive developments during the period, with consumption and investment remaining robust and an acceleration in GDP growth. In contrast, Malaysia generally underperformed during the period, with low oil prices and weak external demand causing economic growth in Malaysia to falter. While the ASEAN region could benefit from further economic integration and increased trade with regional partners, the uncertain status of agreements such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership has made the outlook somewhat less clear. In addition, the region could face political turmoil with relatively recent political changes in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand.

Global X FTSE Andean 40 ETF |
Global X FTSE Andean 40 ETF
The Global X FTSE Andean 40 ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Andean 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 is a free-float adjusted, modified capitalization-weighted index designed to measure performance of the 40 largest and most liquid companies in the Chile, Colombia, and Peru markets, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 15.64%, while the Underlying Index increased 16.65%. The Fund had a net asset value of $7.23 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $8.14 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Cia de Minas Buenaventura and Empresa Nacional de Electricidad, which returned 107.33% and 91.67%, respectively. The worst performers were the two Pacific Exploration and Production stocks, which returned -90.23% and -73.68%.
The Andean region includes the countries of Chile, Colombia, and Peru. These countries tend to be heavily dependent on commodity exports like oil and precious metals. While commodity prices bottomed in Q1 2016, the recovery in oil and precious metals provided boosts to each of these economies. In addition, these developing countries have benefited from generally business-friendly and fiscally prudent policies, which has helped attract foreign investment. In addition, the Andean region maintains a favorable free trade and investment environment, which has a positive effect on the economic growth in the region. Furthermore, the countries of the Andean region have also managed to keep inflation in check, which lends credibility to their monetary policy and makes it easier for companies to do business in the region.

Global X MSCI Colombia ETF
The Global X MSCI Colombia ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Colombia Select 25/50 Index (the “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 Colombia, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.55%, while the Underlying Index increased 6.96%. The Fund had a net asset value of $8.79 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.22 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Avianca Holding and Interconexion Electrica, which returned 59.25% and 42.49%, respectively. The worst performers were the two Pacific Exploration and Production stocks, which returned -90.23% and -69.47%.
With oil representing a significant percentage of the country’s exports, Colombia’s economy and currency are closely tied to oil prices. Colombian equities suffered when oil prices declined in the beginning of the reporting period but began to recover as oil rebounded after Q1 2016. While the low oil price environment has negatively impacted government revenues, Colombia has managed to reduce its current account deficit during the reporting period through fiscal reform measures and continues to work to improve its current account through widening of the personal income tax base, simplification of the corporate tax code, and a value-added tax hike. The Colombian government has also prioritized finalizing a peace deal in the long-standing conflict with FARC rebels in the country, which could result in greater optimism for the country’s future growth.

The inception of the MSCI All Colombia Select 25/50 Index (“New Index”) was on July 15, 2016. Effective on or around August 31, 2016, the Fund began to track the New Index. This change was due to the planned migration to the New Index, potentially improving the trading characteristics of the Fund.

Global X Brazil Mid Cap ETF
The Global X Brazil Mid Cap ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Brazil Mid Cap 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 Brazilian mid-market capitalization companies, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 49.36%, while the Underlying Index increased 50.64%. The Fund had a net asset value of $6.87 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.98 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Cia Siderurgica Nacional and Gerdau, which returned 173.98% and 148.74%, respectively. The worst performers were EDP-Energias do Brasil and Fibria Celulose, which returned -56.97% and -35.75%, respectively.
Over the reporting period, Brazil has had standout equity performance among emerging markets. Much of this positive performance has been driven by the recovery in commodity prices, particularly oil, which is a major export of Brazil. The country’s equity performance has also benefited from political changes, which have been perceived as positives by the markets. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was impeached for corruption charges in August 2016 and replaced with Michel Temer, who many consider a more pro-business politician. During the reporting period, however, the Brazilian economy continued to struggle to emerge from its deepest recession on record, with Brazil’s central bank facing the dual challenges of high inflation and a shrinking economy. Midcap Brazilian stocks tend to be more domestically focused than the large cap segment, which consists of more multi-national conglomerates. As such, these midcaps tend to be more sensitive to changes in the strength of the Brazilian economy. Therefore, the Fund’s performance could benefit from positive economic developments such as falling inflation, lower interest rates, and a return to economic growth, should these events occur.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Argentina equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by the index provider. The broad Argentina equity universe includes securities that are classified in Argentina according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Argentina and carry out the majority of their operations in Argentina.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 20.65%, while the Underlying Index increased 22.81%. The Fund had a net asset value of $19.81 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.69 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from the two Pan American Silver stocks, which returned 132.15% and 112.89%. The worst performers were EPI Holdings and YPF, which returned -50.5% and -16.38%, respectively.
Elected in November 2015, President Mauricio Macri has implemented a series of new economic policies with the goal of spurring the Argentinian economy after a decade of erratic economic growth. One such policy was unpegging the Argentinian peso from the dollar, which allowed the currency to devalue about 30%. This coincided with a significant increase in interest rates and a reduction of the government payroll, which overall has had a positive impact on the Argentine economy. After a long hiatus, Argentina has also been able to return to the global debt markets with the announcement to settle the previously defaulted debt to U.S. bondholders. Macri’s aggressive economic policies have renewed foreign investors’ confidence in Argentina. Nevertheless, challenges and pressure remain as the potential for high inflation remains prevalent and the country also remains highly dependent on commodity exports.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to reflect broad-based equity market performance in Greece, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 28.33%, while the Underlying Index decreased 27.47%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.41 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $7.35 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Jumbo and GasLog, which returned 75.52% and 72.9%, respectively. The worst performers were Piraeus Bank and National Bank of Greece, which returned -98.39% and -96.95%, respectively.
At a macro level, many developments and indicators in 2016 point towards a gradual improvement in Greece’s economy. The Bank of Greece continues seeking to restore confidence and boost liquidity in Greece’s capital markets, which would improve the investment climate after the completion of the first Greek bailout review by the European Central Bank (ECB). In addition, the Greek economy appears to be gradually strengthening, while inflation continued to abate in the second quarter of 2016. The European Commission expects Greece's current account to turn to a surplus in 2016 for the first time in more than 20 years. Due to gradual improvement in the economy and subdued wage growth, the unemployment rate has continued its downward trend during the reporting period. Despite these positive trends, however, significant challenges still lie ahead for Greece as its economy continues to adjust to austerity policies and subdued levels of economic growth. In addition, the Fund’s performance was negatively impacted by large stock dilutions from Greek banks which in November 2015 raised capital through equity issuances at steep discounts.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Aker and Hexagon Composites, which returned 160.75% and 127.02%, respectively. The worst performers were ProSafe and Avance Gas Holding, which returned -98.05% and -76.69%, respectively.
Norwegian equity prices and the Norwegian currency have suffered from the fall in oil prices that began in late 2014; oil prices continued to demonstrate weakness during the reporting period. To stimulate growth, the Norwegian Central Bank slashed benchmark interest rates by 25 basis points and the government implemented fiscal stimulus policies by tapping into its massive sovereign wealth fund. Despite negative GDP growth in Q4 2015, the economy returned to positive growth in both Q1 and Q2 of 2016 and further benefited from the improvement in oil prices since Q1 2016.

Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF
Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF
The Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Nordic 30 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to reflect broad-based equity market performance in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, as defined by the index provider. The Underlying Index tracks the equity performance of the 30 largest and most liquid companies in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 10.54%, while the Underlying Index decreased 10.53%. The Fund had a net asset value of $22.29 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $19.38 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Sandvik and Fortum, which returned 24.65% and 21.27%, respectively. The worst performers were Ericsson and Nokia, which returned -48.46% and -37.39%, respectively.
The Nordic region has experienced subdued growth due to economic headwinds in Europe and low oil prices. The region consists of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland, which overall have experienced declining competitiveness relative to peer group countries competing in similar export markets, given high wages. Several of the Nordic countries have exposure to oil prices, most notably Norway, which is a significant oil exporter. Low oil prices during the reporting period created headwinds for Norway, with a steep decline in oil-related activities contributing to stagnant private consumption. Despite a focus on oil, the region is among the world leaders in the green-energy movement, which could position these countries to successfully transition to a less oil-dependent economy.

Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF
The Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Nigeria Select 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Nigeria equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 43.30%, while the Underlying Index decreased 41.79%. The Fund had a net asset value of $7.94 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $4.31 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from United Bank for Africa and Access Bank, which returned -9.81% and -12.3%, respectively. The worst performers were Diamond Bank and Forte Oil, which returned -74.94% and -73.55%, respectively.
The Nigerian economy, currency and government revenues are highly dependent on oil prices. The prolonged slump in oil prices during the reporting period has put significant strain on Nigeria, particularly on its government finances and on the country’s ability to maintain a long-standing currency peg to the US dollar. As low oil prices persisted, the Nigerian central bank decided to abandon its currency peg and implement a “managed float” of the local currency. While generally viewed as a positive decision for the long-term, the short-term impact was a swift devaluation in the local currency, which negatively impacted Nigerian equities in US dollar terms. Nigeria still maintains a degree of capital controls in the currency market, making it more challenging to repatriate the local currency. Furthermore, Nigeria’s economic growth has slowed significantly since the fall in oil prices, with the country officially entering a recession and experiencing negative GDP growth from Q1 2016 to Q3 2016.

Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF
The Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Next Emerging & Frontier Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to reflect equity performance of next emerging markets and frontier markets companies, as defined by the index provider. Next Emerging markets are defined as emerging market countries, excluding the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and excluding the most developed tier of emerging markets (South Korea and Taiwan). Frontier markets are those emerging market countries that generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 7.33%, while the Underlying Index increased 8.28%. The Fund had a net asset value of $19.27 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.15 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Endeavour Mining and Yamana Gold, which returned 282.25% and 139.94%, respectively. The worst performers were Pacific Drilling and Total Access Communication Public, which returned -78% and -51.19%, respectively.
Emerging and frontier market equities tend to have elevated sensitivities to commodities prices as well as the US dollar. Over the course of the reporting period, commodities reversed their multi-year slump and the dollar began to weaken versus international currencies. Both of these developments had a positive impact on emerging and frontier markets. In addition, the low growth environment among developed markets increased investor interest in gaining exposure to the higher growth potential economies in the emerging and frontier markets. Due in part to their attractive demographics, many emerging and frontier countries exhibit higher GDP growth rates than developed market averages. The Fund had an average approximate exposure of 17.7% in the financials sector, 14.9% in the materials sector, and 12.6% in telecommunication services stocks.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to reflect broad-based equity market performance in Portugal, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 4.86%, while the Underlying Index decreased 5.13%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.85 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.88 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Sonae Capital and Corticeira Amorim, which returned 79.75% and 60.36%, respectively. The worst performers were Banco Comercial Portugues and Cimpor Cimentos de Portugal, which returned -69.31% and -47.6%, respectively.
During the reporting period, Portugal’s GDP growth continued its downward trend primarily due to falling exports and softening domestic demand. The fiscal situation in Portugal remains challenging, and even though government spending to GDP ratio has declined since 2014, Portugal’s government debt burden remains significant. To the positive, consumer confidence has remained relatively stable and the unemployment rate has declined since the height of the European debt crisis. Concerns remain however with regard to corporate leverage and bank balance sheet quality, which may negatively affect corporate investment.

The government of Pakistan has continued its efforts to attract foreign direct investment and implement policy reform, which has improved the country’s economic growth. Furthermore, inflation has abated, the government’s budget deficit has been reduced, and the country continues to move forward with a privatization program. Chinese investment in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and government campaigns to boost trade may also contribute to economic growth in the coming years. During the reporting period, index provider, MSCI, announced that Pakistan will be reclassified from Frontier Markets to Emerging Markets, a signal that economic and political reforms are progressing. Nevertheless, the country faces headwinds from domestic security concerns, energy shortages/outages, and high levels of corruption.

Notes to Financial Statements
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, 2016, the Trust had 100 portfolios, fifty-four of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X China Consumer ETF, Global X China Energy ETF, Global X China Financials ETF, Global X China Industrials ETF, Global X China Materials ETF, Global X NASDAQ China Technology ETF, Global X 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 MSCI Greece 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 (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund had elected non-diversification 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 differ from those estimates.
RETURN OF CAPITAL ESTIMATES — Distributions received by the Funds from underlying master limited partnership (“MLP”) investments generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from the MLPs and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
approximates market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Board of 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, 2016, there were securities valued using Fair Value Procedures of $7,931, $5,448, $6,311, $8,986, $4,903 and $2,085 in Global X China Industrials ETF, Global X China Materials ETF, Global X Brazil Mid Cap ETF, Global X Brazil Consumer ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF and Global X FTSE Portugal 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)
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For the year ended October 31, 2016, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
DUE TO/FROM BROKERS — Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties at October 31, 2016. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by 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.

(1)As of October 31, 2016, the value of the collateral received exceeded the market value of the Funds' holding in the repurchase agreement. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the market value of each Fund's collateral.
(2)Net Amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
During the year ended October 31, 2016, the Global X Brazil Mid Cap ETF and Global X Brazil Consumer ETF incurred federal excise taxes in the amount of $89 and $23, respectively. 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.
If the Funds have foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.
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, 2016, 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 (continued)
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on 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.
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with BBH, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of LIBOR plus 2.00%. Cash overdraft charges are included in custodian fees on the Statements of Operations.

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The following differences, primarily attributable to redemptions in-kind, sales of passive foreign investment companies, and excise tax, have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal period ended October 31, 2016.

5. TAX INFORMATION (continued)
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.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
October 31, 2016 |
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
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 (other than the Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF) 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 (other than the Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF) 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).
Because of the practical difficulties and expense of purchasing all of the securities in its respective underlying indices, the Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF does not expect to purchase all of the securities in its underlying indices. Instead, the Adviser will utilize a “sampling” methodology in seeking to achieve the Fund’s objective. As such, the Fund may purchase a subset of the securities in its respective underlying index in an effort to hold a portfolio of securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the underlying index.
Certain Funds may invest in commodity related securities, which are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on those securities.
A more complete description of risks is included in each Fund’s prospectus and SAI.
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% of the value of domestic equity securities and ADRs and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRS). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements 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.

8. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE
Effective November 1, 2015, the Funds changed their method for estimating the characterization of amounts distributed by master limited partnerships, which correspondingly impacted the net investment income, cost of investments and appreciation (depreciation) on investments and the associated financial highlight ratios and per share disclosures to the extent that the fund recorded investment income that differed from amounts previously estimated. There is no impact to net assets, total return, or the expense ratio as a result of management’s change in methodology.
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. 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.
11. REGULATORY MATTERS
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule which introduces two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies – Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN – also contains amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation, particularly the presentation of derivative investments. Although still evaluating the impact of the Rule, management believes that many of the Regulation S-X amendments are consistent with the Portfolios’ current financial statement presentation and expects that the Funds will be able to comply with the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments by the August 1, 2017 compliance date.
12. 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:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
October 31, 2016 |
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Global X Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 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 MSCI Greece 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 MSCI Portugal ETF and Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF (nineteen of the series constituting Global X Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") as of October 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and each of their financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statements of changes in net assets for the year or period ended October 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods ended on or prior to October 31, 2015 were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 30, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

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, 2016 through October 31, 2016.
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.

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. |

Management Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited) |
Global X SuperDividend® ETF |
Global X SuperDividend® ETF
The Global X SuperDividend® ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global SuperDividend® 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 100 equally-weighted companies that rank among the highest dividend yielding equity securities in the world including emerging market countries, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.23%, while the Underlying Index increased 5.00%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.65 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $20.43 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from ONEOK and Williams Companies, which returned 136.66% and 103.92%, respectively. The worst performers were United Development Funding IV and Costamare, which returned-90.64% and -48.21%, respectively.
Stocks held by the Fund have among the highest dividend yields in the world.

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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.12%, while the Underlying Index increased 6.97%. The Fund had a net asset value of $23.72 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $24.05 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF and Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF, which returned 14.09% and 7.69%, respectively. The worst performers were iShares S&P GSCI Commodity Indexed Trust and Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund, which returned -15.08% and -2.82%, respectively.
During the reporting period, the Fund’s highest average exposures includes an approximate average weighting of 17.0% in ETFs with exposure to REITs, 16.9% in ETFs with exposure to long term U.S. treasuries, 13.0% in ETFs with exposure to Emerging Market Bonds, and 10.7% in ETFs with exposure to short term U.S. treasuries.

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 one 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 all 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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 2.60%, while the Underlying Index increased 3.64%. The Fund had a net asset value of $23.55 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.79 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund and SPDR Dow Jones REIT ETF, which returned 18.31% and 7.38%, respectively. The worst performers were Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund and Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund, which returned -7.4% and -6.4%, respectively.
The Fund seeks to participate in flat or rising markets through a sector rotation strategy while allocating exposure to a short term treasury ETF in periods of high volatility or declining markets. During the reporting period, the Fund had an approximate average weighting of 13.4% to short term treasury ETF as bouts of broad market volatility throughout the reporting period produced signals to reduce the Fund’s equity exposures. Among equity sectors, ETFs with exposure to the industrials sector had the highest average weighting with 12.0%, followed by ETFs with exposure to the information technology sector at 11.6% and ETFs with exposure to the materials sector at 11.0%.

Global X Permanent ETF |
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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 6.13%, while the Underlying Index increased 6.93%. The Fund had a net asset value of $23.94 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.13 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Glencore and Ventas, which returned 75.67% and 40.67%, respectively. The worst performers were Allergan and Gilead Sciences, which returned -32.27% and -30.48%, 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 6.2%, as measured by the annualized standard deviation of daily returns. Furthermore, due to the Fund’s allocation of approximately 25% of assets to gold and silver, the Fund benefited from the rebound of gold and silver prices during the reporting period.

Global X Guru® Index ETF |
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 by the index provider 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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 2.97%, while the Underlying Index decreased 2.81%. The Fund had a net asset value of $23.96 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.14 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Macquarie Infrastructure and Darling Ingredients, which returned 42.44% and 34.39%, respectively. The worst performers were Valeant Pharmaceuticals International and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; which returned -71.08% and -35.43%, 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 within the consumer discretionary sector weighed on the Fund's performance. These stocks generated returns of -17.8%, whereas the consumer discretionary stocks in the S&P 500 were only down approximately -1.8%. In addition, the Fund maintained a weight of 22.4% to consumer discretionary versus a 12.5% weighting for the sector in the S&P 500. The Fund’s exposures to the real estate sector contributed positive returns, as the Fund was overweight the sector 5.5% versus 2.9% in the S&P 500. real estate holdings in the Fund returned 14.8% versus returns of 3.6% for real estate holdings in the S&P 500.

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 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 0.37%, while the Underlying Index increased 0.69%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.42 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.35 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from CONSOL Energy and Baxter International, which returned 121.57% and 28.78%, respectively. The worst performers were Valeant Pharmaceuticals International and CVR Energy, which returned -80.97% and -67.29%, respectively.
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. During the reporting period, the Fund's exposures to information technology and consumer discretionary stocks contributed positive returns to the Fund, while its exposures within the health care and industrials sectors weighed negatively on Fund performance.

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.

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, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 7.51%, while the Underlying Index increased 8.62%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.13 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.88 on October 31, 2016.

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 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 4.43%, while the Underlying Index increased 4.77%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.67 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.46 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from California Resources and NVIDIA, which returned 250% and 153.78%, respectively. The worst performers were Endo International and Alkermes, which returned -72.6% and -58.01%, respectively.
During the period, the Fund had an average of about 15.1% weighting to stocks in the financials sector, with other average large exposures of about 13.5% to consumer discretionary, and 12.5% to information technology stocks. The Fund had an average approximate exposure of 18% to low volatility stocks, 26% to mid cap stocks, 28% to value stocks, and 28% to momentum stocks, as defined by the index provider. Over the course of the reporting period, the value factor became one of the better performing factors in the US after years of underperformance versus its growth counterpart. In addition, the low volatility and momentum factors began to converge as low volatility had exhibited consistent outperformance. This led to the momentum selection methodology increasingly identifying low volatility stocks as recent high performers.

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 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 9.63%, while the Underlying Index increased 9.88%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.19 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $27.38 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Miura and Konami Holdings, which returned 78.14% and 74.01%, respectively. The worst performers were Hokuhoku Financial Group and Toyo Tire & Rubber, which returned -48.49% and -47.34%, respectively.
During the reporting period, the Fund had an average weighting of approximately 21.1% to the industrials sector, with other notable sector exposures of approximately 15.6% to consumer discretionary, and 12.1% to consumer staples stocks. The Fund had an average approximate exposure of 18% to low volatility stocks, 19% to mid cap stocks, 44% to value stocks, and 19% to momentum stocks, as defined by the index provider. The Fund benefited from higher exposure to mid cap stocks which tend to be more domestically focused and less sensitive to an appreciating yen.

Global X Scientific Beta Asia ex-Japan ETF |
Global X Scientific Beta Asia ex-Japan ETF
The Global X Scientific Beta Asia ex-Japan ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Scientific Beta Developed Asia-Pacific ex-Japan 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 400 or less Asian-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 components of the Underlying Index are selected from a universe of the 400 largest, as measured by free float market capitalization, and most liquid stocks traded principally on a stock exchange in and incorporated or domiciled (i.e., maintain a principal place of business) in developed markets in Asia, excluding Japan, but may include Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Australia. 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 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 9.29%, while the Underlying Index increased 9.39%. The Fund had a net asset value of $21.63 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $22.96 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Fortescue Metals Group and South32, which returned 191.47% and 162.2%, respectively. The worst performers were Santos and United Energy Group, which returned -86.23% and
-67.16%, respectively.
During the period, the Fund had an average of approximately 26.4% weighting to stocks in the real estate sector, with other large average exposures of 15.3% to industrials, and 14.6% to consumer discretionary stocks. The Fund had an average approximate exposure of 25% to low volatility stocks, 22% to mid cap stocks, 27% to value stocks, and 25% 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 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 12-month period ended October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 7.25% and the Underlying Index increased 7.25%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.06 per share on October 31, 2015 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.16 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Capstone Infrastructure and TransAlta Renewables, which returned 55.48% and 53.63%, respectively. The worst performers were TerraForm Global and TerraForm Power, which returned -44.99% and -28.66%, respectively.
YieldCos are typically holding companies that own a portfolio of solar, wind, and hydro projects, which deliver electricity to customers. During the beginning of the reporting period, YieldCos suffered from the broader sell off in energy prices. Despite the fact that many of the solar, wind, and hydro projects held by many YieldCos have long term contracts to deliver power to customers, many market participants became worried that renewable energy sources would fall out of favor with the abundance of cheap fossil fuels.

Global X S&P 500® Catholic Values ETF
The Global X S&P 500® Catholic Values ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P 500® Catholic Values 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 S&P 500® Catholic Values Index is designed to provide exposure to U.S. equity securities included in the S&P 500® Index while maintaining alignment with the moral and social teachings of the Catholic Church. The Underlying Index is based on the S&P 500® Index, and generally comprises approximately 500 or less U.S. listed common stocks. All index constituents are members of the S&P 500® Index and follow the eligibility criteria for that index. From this starting universe, constituents are screened to exclude companies involved in activities which are perceived to be inconsistent with Catholic values as outlined in the Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (“USCCB”). The Underlying Index then reweights the remaining constituents so that the Underlying Index’s sector exposures matches the sector exposures of the S&P 500® Index.
For the period from the Fund's commencement date on April 18, 2016 through October 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 2.39%, while the Underlying Index increased 2.56%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.14 per share on April 18, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.74 on October 31, 2016.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from NVIDIA and Newmont Mining, which returned 153.78% and 91.02%, respectively. The worst performers were CF Industries Holdings and Signet Jewelers, which returned -50.75% and -45.6%, respectively.
The Global X S&P 500® Catholic Values ETF provides exposure to the companies within the S&P 500® whose business practices align with the core values of the Catholic faith as determined by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Underlying Index also seeks to have a low tracking difference relative to the S&P 500 by equalizing the sector allocations to that of the S&P 500 Index. Over the reporting period, the Fund had a tracking difference of approximately 0.25% versus the S&P 500.

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, 2016, the Trust had one hundred portfolios, fifty-four of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X SuperDividend® ETF, Global X SuperDividend® U.S. ETF, Global X MSCI SuperDividend® Emerging Markets ETF, Global X SuperDividend® REIT ETF, Global X SuperIncome™ 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 Guru® Index ETF, Global X Guru® Activist Index ETF, Global X Guru® International Index 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, Global X YieldCo Index ETF and Global X S&P 500® Catholic Values ETF (each a “Fund” collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund had elected non-diversification 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.
RETURN OF CAPITAL ESTIMATES – Distributions received by the Funds from underlying master limited partnership (“MLP”) investments generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from the MLPs and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
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 an 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 Funds may fair value their securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ securities that traded outside of

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SECURITY VALUATION (concluded)
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, 2016, there were $1,223 and $37 of fair valued securities in the Global X Scientific Beta Europe 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, 2016, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
DUE TO/FROM BROKERS – Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties at October 31, 2016. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by 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, 2016, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

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, 2016, the Global X Scientific Beta US ETF incurred federal excise tax in the amount of $2. 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.
If the Funds have foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.
As of and during the year or period ended October 31, 2016, 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 investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on 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:

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

5. TAX INFORMATION
The Global X SuperDividend® REIT ETF has a tax year that ends on December 31. The following tax disclosures are representative as of October 31, 2016. Accordingly, the disclosures are for informational use by shareholders and are subject to change attributable to activity through the end of the tax year ending December 31, 2016.
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 preferred stock interest, 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, 2016:

5. TAX INFORMATION (continued)
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:

The preceding differences between book and tax cost are primarily due to mark-to-market treatment of passive foreign investment companies, MLP adjustments and wash sales.
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 investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
October 31, 2016 |
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (concluded)
The Funds (other than the Global X Permanent ETF, Global X SuperIncome Preferred ETF and Global X|JP Morgan Efficient Index 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 Permanent ETF, Global X SuperIncome Preferred ETF and Global X|JP Morgan Efficient Index 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 its respective underlying indices, the Global X Permanent ETF, Global X SuperIncome Preferred ETF and Global X|JP Morgan Efficient Index ETF does not expect to purchase all of the securities in its underlying indices. 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 its 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% of the value of domestic equity securities and ADRs and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements 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, 2016 the value of securities on loan was $54,773,970, $7,287,261, $13,600,406, $16,161,795 and $1,290,225 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 $57,413,239, $7,571,225, $13,991,000, $17,121,597 and $1,336,000 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. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE
Effective November 1, 2015, the Funds changed their method for estimating the characterization of amounts distributed by master limited partnerships, which correspondingly impacted the net investment income, cost of investments and appreciation (depreciation) on investments and the associated financial highlight ratios and per share disclosures to the extent that the fund recorded investment income that differed from amounts previously estimated. There is no impact to net assets, total return or the expense ratio as a result of management’s change in methodology.
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. REGULATORY MATTERS
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) released its Final Rule on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rule”). The Rule which introduces two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies – Form N-PORT and Form N-CEN – also contains amendments to Regulation S-X which impact financial statement presentation, particularly the presentation of derivative investments. Although still evaluating the impact of the Rule, management believes that many of the Regulation S-X amendments are consistent with the Portfolios’ current financial statement presentation and expects that the Funds will be able to comply with the Rule’s Regulation S-X amendments by the August 1, 2017 compliance date.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
October 31, 2016 |
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Global X Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global X SuperDividend ETF, Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF, Global X MSCI SuperDividend Emerging Markets ETF, Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF, Global X SuperIncome 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 Guru Index ETF, Global X Guru Activist Index ETF, Global X Guru International Index 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, Global X YieldCo Index ETF and Global X S&P 500 Catholic Values ETF (eighteen of the series constituting Global X Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") as of October 31, 2016, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and each of their financial highlights for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended October 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods ended on or prior to October 31, 2015 were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 30, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.

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, 2016 through October 31, 2016).
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.

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.
