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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 18.61%, while the Underlying Index decreased 18.17%. The Fund had a net asset value of $40.61 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $31.96 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Volcan Compania Minera SAA and Americas Silver, which returned 87.64% and 36.52%, respectively. The worst performers were Primero Mining and Tahoe Resources, which returned -95.12% and -59.98%, respectively.
Silver mining firms derive revenue from the price of silver and the amount that they produce. Given the high fixed costs associated with mining the precious metal, these firms can have earnings that are significantly leveraged to the price movements of silver. The reporting period has been volatile for the silver market, translating into volatility within the mining segment as well. Some miners reduced their output during the period while industrial demand increased. These events initially sparked a rally in the metal at the start of 2017. Later in the period, however, silver lost its gains, resulting in a selloff in the miners.

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 & Developers 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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 13.61%, while the Underlying Index decreased 13.15%. The Fund had a net asset value of $34.95 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $21.46 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Teranga Gold Resources and Kirkland Lake Gold, which returned 230.54% and 90.92%, respectively. The worst performers were Primero Mining and Asanko Gold, which returned -92.87% and -74.80%, respectively.
Gold explorers are firms with minimal amounts of gold production, that instead seek to profit on finding and securing mining rights to new gold deposits. These companies’ stock prices tend to be driven by both the price of gold as well as the firms’ ability to successfully find such deposits. During the reporting period, gold prices were essentially flat. Although the US dollar weakened, inflation remained low, and geopolitical tensions intensified around the world, demand for gold fell overall as investors preferred risk-on assets like equities.

Global X Copper Miners ETF |
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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 46.38%, while the Underlying Index increased 47.79%. The Fund had a net asset value of $17.60 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.61 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from KAZ Minerals and Lundin Mining, which returned 209.19% and 97.06%, respectively. The worst performers were CuDeco and SolGold, which returned -44.62% and -23.06%, respectively.
Copper mining firms derive revenue from the price of copper and the amount that they produce. Given the high fixed costs associated with mining the metal, these firms can have earnings that are significantly leveraged to the price movements of copper. In addition, many copper miners sell other metals and minerals that are a by-product of copper mining, and therefore can have exposure to the price movements of these materials as well. Copper is primarily used in an industrial capacity such as in electrical wiring and pipes. Demand for the metal is therefore closely tied to economic activity, particularly real estate and infrastructure development. During the reporting period, the metal benefitted from better than expected economic data out of China, which is the world’s largest consumer of copper. In addition, in the first half of 2017 there were disruptions and supply stoppages by major miners that reduced the total output. This supported higher prices for the metal during the period.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index 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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 5.75%, while the Underlying Index increased 4.48%. The Fund had a net asset value of $12.08 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.88 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Energy Resources of Australia and Nexgen Energy, which returned 67.44% and 56.27%, respectively. The worst performers were Peninsula Energy and UEX, which returned -50.47% and -19.42%, respectively.
The uranium industry continued to face the challenges of an oversupplied market during the reporting period. These issues largely stemmed from the slow implementation of planned output cuts by major producers and contributions of secondary supply sources like decommissioned weapons. Despite supply-side challenges, nuclear energy generation continues to be a favored source for electricity in emerging markets like China, India, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Another positive during the period was Japan’s reactivation of five nuclear reactors, six years after the 2011 Fukushima episode.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure broad-based equity market performance of global companies involved in the lithium industry, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 66.46%, while the Underlying Index increased 66.25%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.02 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $39.14 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Lithium Americas and Samsung SDI, which returned 187.28% and 125.19%, respectively. The worst performers were Coslight Technology International Group and FDG Electric Vehicles, which returned -40.33% and -16.55%, respectively.
Lithium experienced a resurgence during the period due to the increased expectations for the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The vast majority of EVs run on lithium-ion batteries, which depend on the white metal for their battery chemistry. While EVs remain largely a niche product in the current automobile landscape, expectations for their adoption reached higher levels during the reporting period, forcing battery suppliers to aggressively lock up future supply. Excitement around EVs was driven by a combination of falling battery prices along with government regulations around the world that seek to eventually phase out internal combustion engines. Various governments including the United Kingdom, France, Norway, the Netherlands, China, and India have all laid out plans to promote EVs for their lower pollution output. In response to these new regulations, virtually all major automobile manufacturers have announced plans to electrify their vehicle fleets over the next few years with their fully electric vehicles or hybrid models.

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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 23.99%, while the Underlying Index increased 24.42%. The Fund had a net asset value of $8.56 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $10.28 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Sociedad Quimica Y Minera De Chile ADR and OCI, which returned 112.97% and 71.08%, respectively. The worst performers were Sirius Minerals and Gubre Fabrikalari, which returned -68.32% and -24.52%, respectively.
The global fertilizer market struggled with low agricultural prices and feeble demand in a well-supplied market. Despite these headwinds, prices picked up toward the end of the reporting period on higher import demand from recovering economies like Brazil, supply outages, and limited exports from China. North America and Europe are the two major regions for potash and fertilizer production, while China, India, and Brazil are key importers. This dynamic makes the industry sensitive to exchange rate fluctuations, trade policies, and emerging market growth rates. Fortunately, the uptick in global growth and a strengthening emerging market economy drove additional demand.

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, 2017, the Trust had ninety-six portfolios, fifty-two 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 & Battery Tech 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, which approximate fair value (absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used).
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less 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 by the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 the Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time, when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ security that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset values. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate 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, 2017, there was $533,687, $1,005,393 and $0 of fair valued securities in Global X Uranium ETF, Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF and Global X Fertilizers/Potash 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)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
SECURITY VALUATION (concluded)
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, 2017 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, 2017. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements by Deutsche Bank are held by Citibank N.A. whereas the collateral for repurchase agreements by Barclays Bank are held by BNY Mellon 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 a 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) and 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 Funds.
As of and during the year ended October 31, 2017, 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 their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of 50,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day.
An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to 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, an additional variable fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:
| | Creation Unit Shares | | | Creation Fee | | | Value as of October 31, 2017 | | | Redemption Fee | |

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The following differences, primarily attributable to net operating losses, investment in MLPs, foreign currency, redemptions in-kind and sales of passive foreign investment companies have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017.
Global X Funds | | Paid-in Capital | | | Undistributed Net Investment Income | | | Accumulated Net Realized Loss | |

5. TAX INFORMATION (concluded)
For taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, a registered investment company (“RIC”) is permitted to carry forward net capital losses to offset capital gains realized in later years, and the losses carried forward retain their original character as either long-term or short-term losses. Net capital losses of a RIC realized in taxable years beginning before that date (pre-2011 losses) can be carried forward up to 8 years and are characterized in later years as short-term losses. If a Fund uses pre-2011 loss carryforwards in later years, the carryforwards will not reduce the Fund’s current earnings and profits, while loss carryforwards from later years will reduce the Fund’s current earnings and profits. To the extent that later year capital gains are offset by pre-2011 loss carryforwards, distributions of such gains will be treated as ordinary dividend distributions. Losses carried forward under these new provisions are as follows:
Global X Funds | | Short-Term Loss | | | Long-Term Loss | | | Total | |
Global X Silver Miners ETF | | $ | 39,119,969 | | | $ | 211,904,168 | | | $ | 251,024,137 | |
Global X Gold Explorers ETF | | | 12,391,860 | | | | 49,462,183 | | | | 61,854,043 | |
Global X Copper Miners ETF | | | 4,424,798 | | | | 18,492,238 | | | | 22,917,036 | |
Global X Uranium ETF | | | 57,023,884 | | | | 238,714,904 | | | | 295,738,788 | |
Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF | | | 10,233,343 | | | | 33,938,587 | | | | 44,171,930 | |
Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF | | | 814,337 | | | | 5,335,932 | | | | 6,150,269 | |
The Federal tax cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments held by the Funds at October 31, 2017 were as follows:
Global X Funds | | Federal Tax Cost | | | Aggregated Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Aggregated Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
Global X Silver Miners ETF | | $ | 447,523,055 | | | $ | 21,659,406 | | | $ | (72,305,903 | ) | | $ | (50,646,497 | ) |
Global X Gold Explorers ETF | | | 50,634,526 | | | | 6,403,881 | | | | (10,115,254 | ) | | | (3,711,373 | ) |

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 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued) |
October 31, 2017 |
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (concluded)
as are issuers and securities markets in the United States. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of emerging country issuers may not reflect their financial position or results of operations in the same manner as financial statements for U.S. issuers. Substantially less information may be publicly available about emerging country issuers than is available about issuers in the United States.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the underlying index in approximately the same proportions as in the underlying index. Each Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to its underlying index 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 statement of additional information (“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 initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and ADRs and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements 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. In the event the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due, the agency agreement requires the lending agent to indemnify the Funds by replacing either the security or the security’s current market value to the fund. The Funds could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. The Funds could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the

7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES (continued)
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, 2017, the value of securities on loan was $17,545,584, $2,577,054, $313,496, $34,989,365 and $42,168,968 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 & Battery Tech ETF, respectively and the value of securities purchased with the cash collateral held from securities on loan was $18,812,229, $2,756,104, $373,056, $38,305,488 and $42,930,763 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 & Battery Tech ETF, respectively.

(1) 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.
8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior gains or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees of the Trust and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.
9. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT
Effective May 16, 2013, each of 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 for each Fund was to divide the number of outstanding shares of the Fund by the applicable ratio below, resulting in a corresponding increase in the 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.

10. REGULATORY MATTERS
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, final rules) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by RICs. In part, the final rules amended Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. As of August 1, 2017, management has implemented the amendments to Regulation S-X, which did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures or impact the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have been evaluated regarding the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, please note the additional disclosure:
On November 1, 2017, the Trust entered into an agreement with BBH in which BBH will serve as the new securities lending agent for the Trust and each of its series.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Uranium ETF, Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF and Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF
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 & Battery Tech ETF and Global X Fertilizers/Potash ETF (six series of Global X Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") as of October 31, 2017, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinions expressed above.
The financial statements, as of and for the year ended October 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for each of the years ended on or prior to October 31, 2015 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) 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 (such as the Funds) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for 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 the shareholder’s investment in a Fund.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from Funds’ gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Funds’ average net assets; this percentage is known as the Funds’ expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from May 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
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) |
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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 47.90%, while the Underlying Index increased 48.80%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.97 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.44 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Geely Automobile Holdings and Brilliance China Automotive Holdings, which returned 202.44% and 113.89%, respectively. The worst performers were Vipshop Holdings and Skyworth Digital Holdings, which returned -42.21% and -26.52%, respectively.
China’s policy to transform the country from a manufacturing and exports-led economy to one driven more by consumption and services is supporting growth of the country’s consumer sector. During the first half of 2017, the economy grew 6.9% year-over-year, with consumption driving over 60% of that growth. A tight labor market and shrinking workforce are forcing wages upwards, leading to increasing disposable income. This, combined with high consumer confidence and urbanization, is helping to stimulate additional spending. In addition, the Chinese government’s increased spending on health, education, retirement benefits, and public transfer is increasing public consumption directly and private consumption indirectly, as people find it less necessary to engage in excessive precautionary savings.

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that, when redeemed, it may be worth less than its original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike the Fund's returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.
There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

Global X China Energy ETF |
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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 13.13%, while the Underlying Index increased 14.10%. The Fund had a net asset value of $10.56 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $11.69 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from China Gas Holdings and JinkoSolar Holding, which returned 102.28% and 72.81%, respectively. The worst performers were Shunfeng International Clean Energy and China Coal Energy, which returned -21.69% and -18.39%, respectively.
China’s recent movement to focus on more environmentally friendly growth has begun to impact the country’s energy sector, resulting in some underperformance versus other sectors of China’s market. China’s slowing long term economic growth, coupled with falling energy intensity (a measure of energy used per unit of GDP), and more environmentally friendly government policies can be attributed to slowing energy demand. Energy intensity slid 3.8% year-over-year in Q1 2017, faster than the government’s target. However, a near term pick-up in GDP growth during the period under review marginally improved the prospects for the energy sector, as GDP growth touched 6.9% year-over-year in the first half of 2017.

Global X China Financials ETF |
Global X China Financials ETF
The Global X China Financials ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive China Financials 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 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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 30.32%, while the Underlying Index increased 31.51%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.80 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $17.63 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Sunac China Holdings and China Evergrande Group, which returned 661.08% and 482.24%, respectively. The worst performers were I-Cable Communications and China Minsheng Banking Corporation, which returned -18.41% and -11.38%, respectively.
The Financials and Real Estate sectors in China experienced diminishing growth as the country’s broad economic growth slowed and the government continued to clamp down on an overheated property sector and reduce financial speculation. In Q2 2017, for example, GDP growth clocked in at 6.9%, but the Financials sector grew at just 3.2% during the quarter, while Real Estate grew 6.2%. However, the sector was able to shed some of its earlier vulnerabilities during the period due to better than expected economic growth in the first half (“HI”) of 2017, tight monetary conditions, and stricter regulations. Credit demand recovered with a pick-up in GDP growth, and higher interest rates helped reverse contracting net interest margin (NIM) of banks. Consequently, China’s big four banks reported faster profit growth and stronger NIM during H1 2017.

High tech and equipment manufacturing contributed around 12% and 32%, respectively to the overall industrial output increase during the first three quarters of 2017. The sector broadly benefitted from an increase in global growth, which increased demand for Chinese exports from the Industrials sector.

China’s government has long supported the development of its domestic technology industry as a means for modernization and progress. For example, in 2006 the country set out on a 15 year National Medium- and Long-Term Program for Science and Technology Development to transform the economy into a major global innovation center by 2020. As this program comes to conclusion, the country has embarked on another broad plan, ‘Made in China 2025’ that seeks to upgrade the economy and its infrastructure to one that is technologically enabled. With support from the central government, as well as organic entrepreneurship, China’s technology companies have become among the fastest growing segments of its economy. While historically, growth in the sector was primarily driven by manufacturing electronics hardware components for export, China’s Technology sector is now becoming increasingly domestic focused. The country now has more than 730 million online users, of which over 90% have mobile internet. Increasingly, these internet users are buying items online, using social media, and playing interactive mobile games, helping to drive the sales growth of the country’s technology companies.

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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 19.19%, while the Underlying Index increased 19.87%. The Fund had a net asset value of $13.72 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $15.91 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Airports of Thailand Public Company and DBS Group Holdings, which returned 67.36% and 59.93%, respectively. The worst performers were PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia and Petronas Gas, which returned -16.55% and -16.01%, respectively.
The Southeast Asia region includes many high growth and dynamic economies such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. During the period, Southeast Asia largely enjoyed robust economic growth, driven by strong domestic consumption and investment. Another positive driver was stronger than expected economic data out of China, which is a key trading partner for the region. Indonesia, the region’s largest economy, continued to expand, growing 5.0% year-over-year in the first half (“HI”) of 2017, backed by strong investments and exports. Malaysia’s economy grew at the fastest pace in two years, clocking 5.7% year-over-year over the same period. Although growth moderated in the Philippines, the country remained one of the fastest growing economies in the region, reporting 6.4% year-over-year growth in H1 2017. In Singapore, the 2.7% year-over-year growth in H1 was supported by an increase in global electronics trade, while a higher agriculture output facilitated 3.5% year-over-year growth in Thailand.

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 Colombia equity universe, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 5.24%, while the Underlying Index increased 5.99%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.22 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.56 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Empresas Copec and Enel Americas, which returned 60.63% and 38.19%, respectively. The worst performers were Corporacion Financiera Colombiana and Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Bogota, which returned -22.86% and -17.25%, respectively.
Colombia’s economy, which relies heavily on oil exports, faced some challenges adjusting to an extended low oil price environment. As a consequence, economic growth was slow during the period under review, coming in at a 1.3% increase year-over-year in Q2 2017 following a 1.2% year-over-year increase in Q1. Private consumption increased moderately, but exports growth was weak. Investments experienced a revival during the period. Ambitious infrastructure projects and improved confidence following the peace deal with FARC rebels provided an improving business climate for attracting additional investment. Further, the mining sector experienced a recovery in Q2 2017 with improving commodity prices. Inflation also fell, which gave room for the central bank to ease monetary policy allowing for more economic stimulus.

Global X MSCI Argentina ETF |
Global X MSCI Argentina ETF
The Global X MSCI Argentina ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Argentina 25/50 Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Argentina equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by 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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 35.79%, while the Underlying Index increased 36.08%. The Fund had a net asset value of $23.69 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $32.05 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Transportadora de Gas del Sur and Pampa Energia, which returned 192.69% and 99.09%, respectively. The worst performers were Grupo Clarin and Petrobras Argentina, which returned -75.52% and -26.05%, respectively.
Argentina’s economy is in the midst of a major transition under the relatively new government led by Mauricio Macri, who came to power in 2015. Macri has implemented a series of ambitious reforms, including removing foreign exchange controls, floating the country’s currency, reestablishing access to the international capital markets, and eliminating export taxes and trade barriers. The economy has started to enjoy the benefits of these reforms, as it grew 2.7% year-over-year in the first half of 2017. Exports are strengthening and investments are ramping up with an improving business climate and greater access for foreign capital. While many believe the country is on the right path towards more sustainable long term growth, double-digit inflation remains an issue that needs to be tamed, as well as the nation’s large fiscal deficit. Changes required to tackle these issues, such as implementing austerity measures and reducing energy subsidies, are unpopular among the electorate and therefore politically difficult to put in place.

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.

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 29.04%, while the Underlying Index increased 30.81%. The Fund had a net asset value of $7.35 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $9.30 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries and Motor Oil (Hellas) Corinth Refineries Unsponsored ADR, which returned 111.09% and 108.18%, respectively. The worst performers were Aegean Marine Petroleum Network and Piraeus Bank, which returned -47.09% and -13.08%, respectively.
Greece continues to work its way through a crippling debt load that became exposed during the financial crisis and continues to hold back the country today. Despite achieving a 3.9% primary account surplus in 2016, the country’s debt to GDP level was 179% at year end. This high indebtedness continues to be a point of conflict for creditors. At the beginning of 2017, tensions flared again as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned Greece of its unsustainable debt and demanded a restructuring. Instead of a restructuring, the European Union (EU) granted an additional aid payment and set new economic targets for Greece. The country took a significant step forward, however, by successfully selling five-year bonds to raise capital outside of their bailout program. The country is targeting an exit of the program by the second half of 2018. After negligible growth in 2016, Greece’s economy has shown positive signs. In the first half of 2017, the economy expanded 0.8% due primarily to increasing exports and consumption.

Norway’s economic growth gained momentum after a period of adjustment to lower oil incomes following the fall in crude prices which began in 2014. To facilitate this adjustment, the government adopted lower interest rates and expansionary fiscal policies to help stimulate the economy. In addition, various reform measures have been implemented such as reducing corporate tax rates, simplifying business regulations, improving education and skill development programs, restraining wages, and increasing labor force participation. These initiatives were aimed at improving the country’s competitiveness and productivity, as well as supporting economic growth in non-oil-related sectors.

Denmark also experienced consumption growth stemming from an improving labor market. Finland’s economy expanded during the period under review, assisted by a revival in exports due to increased foreign demand and improved competitiveness. In Norway, the uptick in global oil prices and a relatively weak currency supported growth and exports.

During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Stanbic IBTC Holdings and United Bank for Africa, which returned 129.54% and 123.13%, respectively. The worst performers were Forte Oil and Unilever Nigeria, which returned -70.81% and -33.35%, respectively.
After five consecutive quarters of contraction, Nigeria’s economy recovered in Q2 2017. During the quarter, GDP grew approximately 3.2% quarter-over-quarter and 0.6% year-over-year. Higher oil production and prices, as well as progress in the farming sector enabled the economy to overcome its recession. Nigeria’s Purchasing Managers’ Index indicated robust growth in new export orders and output, as well as job additions. While encouraging signs are emerging throughout the economy, the country’s recovery remains fragile. Nigeria is exposed to the threat of military unrest in the oil-rich Delta region and remains heavily dependent on oil and gas revenues. In an attempt to diversify the economy the government has placed a renewed focus on implementing public and social investment projects, promoting growth in the private sector, encouraging job creation, and diversifying the economy.

Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF |
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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 18.53%, while the Underlying Index increased 19.20%. The Fund had a net asset value of $20.15 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $23.28 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from KAZ Minerals and Antofagasta, which returned 209.19% and 95.42%, respectively. The worst performers were Pacific Drilling and Lucara Diamond, which returned -51.42% and -36.34%, 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 generally strengthened and the dollar weakened versus international currencies. Both of these developments had a positive impact on emerging and frontier markets. In addition, the pickup in global demand driven by continued growth in the US and China as well as recoveries in Japan and Europe, helped contribute to greater export demand from these markets. Due in part to their attractive demographics, many emerging and frontier countries exhibit higher GDP growth rates than developed market averages. They also tend to exhibit greater risks, given less diversified economies and less stable government institutions.

Global X MSCI Portugal ETF
The Global X MSCI Portugal ETF (“Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI All Portugal Plus 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 Portugal equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 31.88%, while the Hybrid Underlying Index increased 31.85%. The Fund had a net asset value of $9.88 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $12.49 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Caixa Economica Montepio Geral and Mota-Engil, which returned 160.36% and 115.80%, respectively. The worst performers were Cimpor-Cimentos de Portugal and Banco BPI, which returned -31.10% and -18.83%, respectively.
During the reporting period, Portugal’s economic recovery gained momentum. According to Portugal-based National Statistics Institute (INE), in Q1 2017, quarter-over-quarter GDP expanded 1%, improving the year-over-year growth to 2.8%. This was the fastest pace for the country since 2007. Although Portugal’s debt to GDP ratio remained above 125%, increased exports and structural reforms that cut public investment and spending, narrowed the deficit to 2% of GDP. In addition, the country benefitted from the unemployment rate falling below 10% and an upgrade of the country’s credit rating from junk to investment grade are indicators of a strong near-term outlook.

The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index is designed to represent the performance of the broad Pakistan equity universe, while including a minimum number of constituents, as defined by the index provider. The broad Pakistan equity universe includes securities that are classified in Pakistan according to the MSCI Global Investable Market Index Methodology, together with companies that are headquartered or listed in Pakistan and carry out the majority of their operations in Pakistan.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund decreased 8.25%, while the Underlying Index decreased 6.23%. The Fund had a net asset value of $15.23 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $13.56 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Pakistan Oilfields and Millat Tractors, which returned 59.99% and 39.40%, respectively. The worst performers were Ferozsons Laboratories and K-Electric, which returned -64.29% and -40.92%, respectively.
One of the largest drivers of Pakistan’s stock market performance during the period had little to do with the domestic economy. In June 2017, index provider MSCI added Pakistani equities to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Leading up to this addition, stocks hailing from Pakistan experienced periods of significant volume and volatility as the market adjusted to this change. Index changes aside, Pakistan’s economic outlook improved over the period as the country implemented significant economic reforms and the business climate improved. Economic growth was driven mainly by domestic consumption, which constitutes 80% of the GDP. Consumption increased by 8.6% in the country’s financial year ending June 2017.

Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2017
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, 2017, the Trust had ninety-six portfolios, fifty-two 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 MSCI Greece ETF, Global X MSCI Norway ETF, Global X FTSE Nordic Region ETF, Global X FTSE Southeast Asia ETF, Global X MSCI Argentina ETF, Global X MSCI Colombia ETF, Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF, Global X MSCI Pakistan ETF, Global X MSCI Portugal ETF and Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund (except for the Global X Next Emerging & Frontier ETF) 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, which approximate fair value (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,
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2017
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 appr- oximates market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates. Prices for most securities held by the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Securities for which market prices are not "readily available" are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the "Committee") designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using the Fair Value Procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ security that traded outside of the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset values. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disaster, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds investment adviser (the “Adviser”) becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of security after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Funds calculate their net asset values, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. 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, 2017, there were securities valued using Fair Value Procedures of $312, $194,512, $49,889 and $646 in Global X China Industrials ETF, Global X China Materials ETF, Global X NASDAQ China Technology ETF and Global X MSCI Portugal ETF, respectively. There were no other securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2017
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in non-active markets, quoted prices for similar investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments, fair value of investments for which the Funds do not have the ability to fully redeem tranches at net asset value as of the measurement date or within the near term)
Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement. For the year ended October 31, 2017, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
The following table summarizes the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized as material Level 3 investments as of October 31, 2017. The disclosures below also include qualitative information on the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in the significant unobservable inputs.

DUE TO/FROM BROKERS — Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties at October 31, 2017. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements by Deutsche Bank are held by Citibank N.A. whereas the collateral for repurchase agreements by Barclays Bank are held by BNY 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
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2017
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. It is the Funds’ policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Fund bears the risk of loss in the event that the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Fund is prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (included in repurchase agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.
At October 31, 2017, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(1)Net Amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — It is each Fund’s intention to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2017
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 each 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), and on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
As of and during the year ended October 31, 2017, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from the settlement date.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS AND TRANSLATION — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with BBH, if a Fund has a cash overdraft on a given day, it will be assessed an overdraft charge of LIBOR plus 2.00%. Cash overdraft charges are included in custodian fees on the Statements of Operations.
CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of 50,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2017
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 Authorized Participant on the same day.
An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to 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, an additional variable fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:
| | Creation Unit | | | Creation | | | Value at | | | Redemption | |

5. TAX INFORMATION
The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.
The following differences, primarily attributable to redemptions in-kind, sales of passive foreign investment companies, and foreign currency, have been reclassified to/from the following accounts during the fiscal period ended October 31, 2017.

5. TAX INFORMATION (continued)
For taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, a registered investment company (“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:
| | Short-Term Loss | | | Long-Term Loss | | | Total | |
Global X China Consumer ETF | | $ | 717,059 | | | $ | 39,478,252 | | | $ | 40,195,311 | |

The preceding differences between book and tax cost are primarily due to mark to market treatment of passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in several countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
The securities markets of emerging market countries are less liquid and subject to greater price volatility, and have a smaller market capitalization, than the U.S. securities markets. 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 typically not subject to as extensive and frequent accounting, financial and other reporting requirements or as comprehensive government regulations or issuers and securities markets in the U.S. In particular, the assets and profits appearing on the financial statements of emerging market country issuers may not reflect their financial position or results of operations in the same manner as financial statements for U.S. issuers. Substantially less information may be publicly available about emerging market country issuers than is available about issuers in the United States.
Notes to Financial Statements (CONTINUED)
October 31, 2017
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, gains earned or gains repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains are earned.
The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the underlying index in approximately the same proportions as the underlying index. The Funds may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to their underlying index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to its shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its underlying index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the underlying index become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to the Funds but not the underlying indexes).
Certain Funds may invest in commodity related securities, which are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on those securities.
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 initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and ADRs and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements 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. In the event the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due, the agency agreement requires the lending agent to indemnify the Funds by replacing either the security or the security’s current market value to the fund. The Funds could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. The Funds could also experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.

Notes to Financial Statements (CONCLUDED)
October 31, 2017
8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown. However the Funds have not had prior gains or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees of the Trust and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.
9. REVERSE SHARE SPLIT
Effective May 16, 2013, each of 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 for each Fund 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.
Effective March 16, 2017, the Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF executed a 1-for-4 reverse share split for shareholders of record after the close of markets on March 15, 2017. The effect of this transaction was to divide the number of outstanding shares of the Fund by four, resulting in a corresponding increase in the 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.
10. REGULATORY MATTERS
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, final rules) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amended Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. As of August 1, 2017, management has implemented the amendments to Regulation S-X, which did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures nor impact the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have been evaluated regarding the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, please note the additional disclosure:
On November 1, 2017, the Trust entered into an agreement with BBH in which BBH will serve as the new securities lending agent for the Trust and each of its series.

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 FTSE Southeast Asia ETF, Global X MSCI Colombia 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 (sixteen series of Global X Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") as of October 31, 2017, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in 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, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations of securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinions expressed above.
The financial statements, as of and 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 (not presented herein, other than the financial highlights) 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 such as the Funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, brokerage fees, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. In addition, a shareholder is responsible for brokerage fees incurred in the purchase or sale of share of the Fund on the secondary market.
Operating expenses such as these are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period from May 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017.
The table on the next page illustrates the Funds’ costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that a Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Funds, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Funds under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare a Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Funds had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

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

Global X SuperDividend® REIT ETF
The Global X SuperDividend® REIT ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global SuperDividend® REIT Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the performance of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that rank among the highest-yielding REITs globally, as determined by the index provider. The index provider screens the highest yielding REITs to exclude REITs that have historically exhibited the highest volatility, as determined by the index provider.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 13.00%, while the Underlying Index increased 11.49%. The Fund had a net asset value of $14.60 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $15.29 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Two Harbors Investment and Chimera Investment, which returned 30.57% and 29.80%, respectively. The worst performers were Spirit Realty Capital and CYS Investments, which returned -11.60% and -9.33%, respectively.
The Fund invests in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) that are among those with the highest dividend yields around the world. During the reporting period, many central banks continued their easy money policies that have kept interest rates around the world at record lows. Despite these dovish monetary policies, some investors maintained concerns over rates rising in the United States, the eventual tapering of Europe’s Quantitative Easing program, and stubbornly low inflation. As a result, longer duration bonds, like the 10 year treasuries maintained low yields relative to short term treasuries, resulting in flat yield curves. This particularly affected the mortgage REIT segment, which relies on steeper yield curves for income. During the period Q4 2016 to Q3 2017, the Fund had an average approximate exposure of 46% to mortgage REITs and 54% to equity REITs. Geographically, the Fund had an average approximate exposure of 69% to U.S. REITs, 11% to Singapore REITs, and 11% to Canadian REITs.

Global X | JPMorgan Efficiente Index ETF
Global X | JPMorgan Efficiente Index ETF
The Global X | JPMorgan Efficiente Index ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the JPMorgan ETF Efficiente 10 TR Series X Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index tracks the total return performance of a portfolio of eleven exchange-traded funds (each, an "ETF") and two exchange-traded products (each an "ETP") (each ETP and ETF, a "Constituent" and together the "Constituents"), as defined by the index provider. The share prices of the ETFs and ETPs are expected to track the performance of equities or bonds in developed or emerging markets, real estate investments, U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, a single commodity or a portfolio of commodity futures contracts. The Underlying Index allocates index weights among the Constituents based on a proprietary methodology created by the index provider. On a monthly basis and subject to certain weighting constraints, the Underlying Index is rebalanced to reallocate index weights among the Constituents so that the resulting portfolio would have had the highest return during the previous six months and an annualized volatility level of 10% or less over the same period (subject to upward adjustment under limited circumstances). This methodology is informed by the “modern portfolio theory” approach to asset allocation, which suggests that an investor allocate assets in a manner that maximizes return for a given risk appetite. Since the index weights assigned to the Constituents at each monthly rebalancing are determined based on past performance, there is no guarantee that any monthly rebalancing will result in the Underlying Index achieving the highest possible returns for the relevant month.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 12.29%, while the Underlying Index increased 13.12%. The Fund had a net asset value of $24.05 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $26.18 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, which returned 22.53% and 21.59%, respectively. The worst performers were iShares S&P GSCI Commodity Indexed Trust and iShares JP Morgan USD Emerging Markets Bond ETF, which returned -4.67% and -4.32%, respectively.
During the reporting period, the Fund’s five asset classes had an approximate average weighting of 44% in ETFs with exposure to developed market equities, 18% in ETFs with exposure to Bonds, 27% in ETFs with exposure to emerging markets, 8% in ETFs with exposure to Alternatives, and 3% in ETFs with exposure to Short Term US Treasuries or Inflation Protected Securities. The emerging market equities sub-asset class had, on average, 20% of the ETF’s exposure, followed by the U.S. Large Cap Equities at 18%, Developed Market Equities outside the U.S. at 14%, and U.S. Small Cap Equities at 13%.

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 U.S. 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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 9.65%, while the Underlying Index increased 10.56%. The Fund had a net asset value of $23.79 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.51 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund and Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund, which returned 15.63% and 15.53%, respectively. The worst performers were Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund and Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, which returned -5.78% and -2.81%, 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 during periods of high volatility or declining markets. During the period Q4 2016 to Q3 2017, the Fund had an approximate average weighting of just 5% to a short-term Treasury ETF, as equity performance was generally strong and volatility remained low. Among equity sectors, ETFs with exposure to the Consumer Discretionary sector and Information Technology sector had the highest average approximate weightings at 15%. This was followed by ETFs with exposure to Materials sector, which had an average approximate weighting of 14%.

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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 24.30%, while the Underlying Index increased 24.61%. The Fund had a net asset value of $23.14 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $28.70 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from GrubHub and Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, which returned 60.12% and 60.08%, respectively. The worst performers were Sprint and Buffalo Wild Wings, which returned -27.01% and -25.59%, respectively.
The Fund’s investments are among the top U.S. listed equity positions reported on Form 13F by major hedge funds. During the reporting period, hedge funds remained uniquely positioned to potentially generate alpha due to their deep talent pool and ability to make high conviction investments. Over the reporting period, the Fund indeed outperformed the benchmark S&P 500 index by approximately 67 basis points. The Fund rebalances quarterly, resulting in dynamic exposures that can change significantly throughout the year. Earlier in the period, the Fund benefitted from its exposure to biotech stocks that performed well due to a decreased likelihood of government intervention in drug pricing. Later in the period, the Fund took a larger position in energy companies as hedge funds looked for a potential rebound in oil prices.

Global X Scientific Beta US ETF
Global X Scientific Beta US ETF
The Global X Scientific Beta US ETF (“Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Scientific Beta United States Multi-Beta Multi-Strategy Equal Risk Contribution Index (“Underlying Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Underlying Index.
The Underlying Index generally comprises approximately 500 or less U.S. listed common stocks selected based on a proprietary methodology developed by the index provider. The objective of the Underlying Index is to outperform traditional market capitalization-weighted indexes, with lower volatility. The Underlying Index’s components are selected by applying four factors that have been widely recognized by academic literature to outperform market capitalization weighted-indexes over the long run: Value, Size, Low-Volatility and Momentum. Each of these factors is applied by using the following metrics: price-to-book ratio for Value; free-float market capitalization for Size; historical volatility over the trailing 104 week period for Low-Volatility; and one-year-minus-one-month total returns for Momentum. Finally, components are weighted by employing a proprietary, multi-step process that combines multiple weighting methodologies to diversify the risks associated with any one weighting scheme.
For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 19.52%, while the Underlying Index increased 19.82%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.46 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $30.04 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Nvidia and Micron Technology, which returned 191.98% and 158.22%, respectively. The worst performers were Foot Locker and Mattel, which returned -53.84% and -52.77%, respectively.
While the Fund demonstrated strong positive performance over the reporting period, it lagged the benchmark S&P 500. Factor investing proved challenging during the period as benchmark returns were driven by high growth names that tend to be underweighted in multi-factor strategies, particularly those that seek to deliver more diversified exposure than the S&P 500. During the reporting period, the Momentum factor was the best-performing factor and it outperformed the S&P 500 in the first three quarters of 2017. However, other factors tended to lag behind. During the same quarters, only Value in Q2 joined Momentum in outperforming the S&P 500. The Fund had an average approximate weighting of 20% to stocks in the financials sector, 12% to health care, 11% to consumer discretionary, and 11% to industrials.

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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 18.17%, while the Underlying Index increased 18.59%. The Fund had a net asset value of $27.38 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $31.47 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Yaskawa Electric and Tokyo Electron, which returned 125.08 % and 99.35%, respectively. The worst performers were Toho Gas and Sosei Group, which returned -39.02% and -26.81%, respectively.
During the period Q4 2016 to Q3 2017, the Fund had an average weighting of approximately 25% to the Industrials sector, with other notable sector exposures of approximately 16% to Consumer Discretionary stocks, and 12% to the Materials sector. The Fund had an average approximate exposure of 13% to Low-Volatility stocks, 16% to Mid Cap stocks, 59% to Value stocks, and 12% to Momentum stocks, as defined by the index provider. The Fund benefited from the higher exposure to Value stocks, which was the best performing factor.

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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 17.43%, while the Underlying Index increased 17.93%. The Fund had a net asset value of $22.96 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $25.71 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Venture Corporation and Global Logistic Properties, which returned 117.94% and 94.60%, respectively. The worst performers were Downer EDI and Esprit Holdings, which returned -88.10% and -36.62%, respectively.
During the period Q4 2016 to Q3 2017, the Fund had an average weighting of approximately 26% to stocks in the Real Estate sector, with other large average exposures of approximately 17% to industrials sector, and 12% to consumer discretionary stocks. The Fund had an average approximate exposure of 22% to low-volatility stocks, 24% to mid cap stocks, 29% to value stocks, and 23% to momentum stocks, as defined by the index provider. The Fund benefited from the exposure to Value, which was the best performing factor.

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, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 17.30%, while the Underlying Index increased 18.12%. The Fund had a net asset value of $11.16 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $12.53 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from NextEra Energy Partners and TerraForm Global, which returned 50.30% and 33.33%, respectively. The worst performers were Innergex Renewable Energy and TransAlta Renewables, which returned -1.75% and 3.78%, respectively.
YieldCos are entities that generally consist of fully developed renewable energy assets such as solar and wind farms. These entities tend to enter into long-term contracts with customers to deliver electricity at pre-specified prices. Despite uncertainties related to the U.S. tax policy and the government’s commitment to fight climate change, renewable energy sources continued to grow in prominence around the world as they battled more entrenched fossil fuels for market share in the power generation space. Declining costs of solar and wind technologies as well as various government incentives led to the adoption of renewables by many municipalities, communities, and corporations. In 2017, renewable energy dominated new electrical generation in the US, amounting to over 60% of the total new generation capacity. Despite the growth of the solar and wind in electric generation, the YieldCo space itself shrunk as some companies delayed or abandoned plans to spinoff their YieldCos. In addition, some existing YieldCos were taken private.

Global X S&P 500® Catholic Values ETF
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 12-month period ended October 31, 2017 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 24.27%, while the Underlying Index increased 24.61%. The Fund had a net asset value of $25.74 per share on October 31, 2016 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $31.83 on October 31, 2017.
During the reporting period, the highest returns came from Nvidia and Micron Technology, which returned 191.98% and 158.22%, respectively. The worst performers were Under Armour, Class A and Under Armour, Class C, which returned -59.74% and -55.41%, respectively.
The Fund provides exposure to companies within the S&P 500 whose business practices align with the investment guidelines set by the USCCB. As of October 31, 2017, the Fund had 466 holdings compared with 505 holdings of the S&P 500. To mitigate the potential performance differences between the S&P 500 and the Fund, the Fund’s sector exposures are reweighted to align with those of the S&P 500 on a quarterly basis. Over the reporting period, the Fund had a tracking difference of 64 basis points with the S&P 500. Between Q4 2016 and Q3 2017, information technology had the highest average weighting of 22% in the Fund, followed by financials at 15%, and health care at 14%.

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 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.
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.
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2017
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
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 which approximates fair value (absent both bid and asked prices on such exchange, the bid price may be used).
For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used. 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. 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.time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or, trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, the Funds may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ security that traded outside the United States (a “Significant Event”) has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Funds calculate their net asset values. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include: government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If Global X Management Company LLC, the Fund’s investment advisor (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 values, 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, 2017, there were two funds, Global X Scientific Beta Europe ETF and Global X Scientific Bet Asia ex-Japan ETF, with fair valued securities valued at $0 and $37, 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, 2017, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2017
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets may have similar or diverging impacts on valuation. Significant increases and decreases in these inputs in isolation and interrelationships between those inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
DUE TO/FROM BROKERS – Due to/from brokers includes cash and collateral balances with the Funds’ clearing brokers or counterparties at October 31, 2017. The Funds continuously monitor the credit standing of each broker or counterparty with whom they conduct business. In the event a broker or counterparty is unable to fulfill its obligations, the Funds would be subject to counterparty credit risk.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements by Deutsche Bank are held by Citibank N.A. whereas the collateral for repurchase agreements by Barclays Bank are held by BNY Mellon 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 a MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.

(2) Net Amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES – It is each Fund’s intention to qualify, or continue to qualify, as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements except as described below.
The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current period; however, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. As of December 31, 2017, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from inception forward.
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 reporting period ended October 31, 2017, 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 reporting period, 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.
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 their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and only in large blocks of 50,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an Authorized Participant on the same day.
An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard redemption fee per transaction to 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.

5. TAX INFORMATION (continued)
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.

The following differences, primarily attributable to preferred stock interest, foreign currency, redemptions in-kind, REIT adjustments, MLP adjustments, non-deductible excise tax paid, sale of RIC shares, net operating loss, 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, 2017:

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

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments, the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
October 31, 2017
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (concluded)
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.
The Funds 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 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).
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 initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and ADRs and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements 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. In the event the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due, the agency agreement requires the lending agent to indemnify the Funds by replacing either the security or the security’s current market value to the fund. The Funds could suffer a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the market value of loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received. The Funds could also experience

delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral. The Funds bear the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
As of October 31, 2017 the value of securities on loan was $45,096,945, $7,507,034, $11,553,181, $12,668,197 and $2,026,333 for the Global X SuperDividend® ETF, Global X SuperDividend® U.S. ETF, Global X SuperIncome™ Preferred ETF, Global X Social Media ETF and Global X Guru® Index ETF, respectively and the value of securities purchased with the cash collateral held from securities on loan was $47,215,366, $7,694,259, $11,828,524, $12,861,023 and $2,042,027 for the Global X SuperDividend® ETF, Global X SuperDividend® U.S. ETF, Global X SuperIncome™ Preferred ETF, Global X Social Media ETF and Global X Guru® Index ETF, respectively.

(1) 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.
8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The Funds enter into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown; however the Funds have not had prior gains or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trustees of the Trust and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.
9. REGULATORY MATTERS
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, final rules) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amended Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. As of August 1, 2017, management has implemented the amendments to Regulation S-X, which did not have a material impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures or impact the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have been evaluated regarding the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, please note the additional disclosure:
On November 1, 2017, the Trust entered into an agreement with BBH in which BBH will serve as the new securities lending agent for the Trust and each of its series.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (unaudited)
All ETFs (such as the Funds) have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for 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 the Funds’ gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Funds’ average net assets; this percentage is known as the Funds’ expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (May 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017).
The table on the next page illustrates the Funds’ costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Supplemental Information (unaudited)
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.
