TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dear GlobalShares Investors,
It is with regret that we must inform you that on September 24, 2010, the Board of Trustees of Old Mutual Global Shares Trust approved closure of all five of its U.S. exchange traded funds (ETFs). The salient dates are set forth below. The U.S. ETF market was a new distribution channel for Old Mutual Global Index Trackers (US) LLC However, given the structure of the U.S. ETF environment and a prolonged volatile market, we’ve decided that it’s unlikely our products will gain sufficient market share in the United States, within our required time horizons. We will continue using our core business of segregated account index management as a springboard for growth into other distribution channels and markets. Post the closure of these funds we will continue to have mandates domiciled in the United Kingdom, Dublin and South Africa.
Salient Dates
24th September 2010
• | Board of Trustees of Old Mutual Global Shares Trust approves the closure of all five ETFs. Liquidation process commences, post this date. |

Advisor Discussion of Fund Performance
Market Conditions
Global Economy
The US economy grew at a rate of 3% in the first quarter of 2010, but remained below expectations. US Real Gross Domestic Product increased at an annual rate of 2.4% in the second quarter of 2010, according to the advance estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The US trade gap widened at the end of 2009 as American consumers and industrial businesses increased demand for imported goods and services against the backdrop of an improving economy, but the Federal Reserve highlighted that the recovery will be slow and requires a low interest rate environment. Sales of new homes in the US rebounded during 2010 from a record low last year, offering hope that the housing market’s stimulus-induced hangover may have subsided.
The Eurozone’s debt crisis hangs like a dark cloud over Europe’s economic prospects with added concerns of a possible Greek financial collapse and credit rating downgrades for Spain and Portugal. Recent positive data however indicate that the worst is over although growth remains disappointing.
The BRIC countries – Brazil, Russia, India and China – are powering ahead, revising upwards their growth outlook for all four of these emerging economies.
Brazil’s central bank was expected to raise its core interest rate as the unexpectedly fast pace of economic growth puts increasing pressure on prices.
China has interestingly tightened rules on personal loans to prevent them from being used for speculation after the benchmark stock index surged during 2009 and property prices rebounded. Mounting concerns of overheating and inflation remained as a result of this credit boom.
India’s economic growth prospects remain around 8%-8.5%, allowing scope for a reduction in stimulus measures that would help the nation restrain its debt burden.
This positive growth – specifically from emerging market economies – has fuelled a strong recovery in the broad-based global indices. The FTSE All World Index appreciated by more than 13% in the third quarter of 2010.

Shares of GlobalShares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund except in liquidation. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market Price returns are based upon the closing price at 4:00 PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

Disclosure:
An investment in Funds was subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Fund returns may not match the return of their respective index, known as non-correlation risk, due to investments made and operating expenses incurred by the Fund. The Funds have invested in foreign or emerging market securities which involve certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the US. These risks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, and lack of timely or reliable financial information. The Funds have also invested in small and medium-sized companies which involve greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in more established companies. Additional risks of investing in the funds include derivative investing, licensing, custody and settlement risk. Please see the prospectus for a complete listing.

Frequency Distribution of Discount and Premium (Unaudited)
The chart below presents information about differences between the per share net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund and the market trading price of shares of each Fund. For these purposes, the “market price” is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. The term “premium” is sometimes used to describe a market price in excess of NAV and the term “discount” is sometimes used to describe a market price below NAV. The chart presents information about the size and frequency of premiums or discounts. As with other exchange traded funds, the market price of Fund shares is typically slightly higher or lower than the Fund’s per share NAV. Factors that contribute to the differences between market price and NAV include the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of a Fund’s portfolio securities.
Differences between the closing times of U.S. and non-U.S. markets may contribute to differences between the NAV and market price of Fund shares. Many non-U.S. markets close prior to the close of the U.S. securities exchanges. Developments after the close of such markets as a result of ongoing price discovery may be reflected in a Fund’s market price but not in its NAV (or vice versa).
Data presented represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.

Old Mutual Global Shares Trust
Shareholder Expense Examples
Fund Expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other exchange traded funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
1.ORGANIZATION
Old Mutual Global Shares Trust (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust organized on December 5, 2008. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”). The GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund, GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World ex US Fund and GlobalShares FTSE All-Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund are five separate exchange-traded index funds comprising the Trust, (collectively, the “Funds” and each individually a “Fund”). The Trust had no operations prior to December 1, 2009 other than matters relating to its organization and registration as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Act, and the sale and issuance to Old Mutual Global Index Trackers (Pty) Limited (the “Adviser”) of 5,000 shares of beneficial interest (“Shares”) of the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund at an aggregate price of $100,000 on November 2, 2009. The GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund and GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund commenced investment operations on December 1, 2009 and February 9, 2010, respectively, and GlobalShares FTSE All-World Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World ex US Fund and GlobalShares FTSE All-Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund commenced investment operations on April 1, 2010.
The investment objective of GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund, GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World ex US Fund and GlobalShares FTSE All-Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses), generally to the performance of the Fund’s corresponding underlying index (FTSE Emerging Markets Index, FTSE Developed ex US Index, FTSE All-World Index, FTSE All-World ex US Index and FTSE All-Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Index, respectively) (“Underlying Index”).
On September 24, 2010, the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved a proposal to close the Funds to new investors and liquidate the Funds. On October 22, 2010, the Funds liquidated completely, with each investor’s shares redeemed at the net asset value on October 8, 2010, and the Trust then terminated. In connection with liquidation, the Funds adopted the liquidation basis of accounting, which among other things, requires the Funds to record assets and liabilities at their net realizable value and to provide estimated costs of liquidating the Funds to the extent that they are reasonably determinable.
Effective October 5, 2010, the Funds no longer accepted orders from new investors or existing shareholders to purchase additional Fund shares.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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 fiscal period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.
Investment 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 reported sale price as of the close of regular trading on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or if it is not possible to determine the last reported sale price on the relevant exchange or market on the valuation date, the value of the security shall be taken to be the most recent mean between the bid and asked prices on such exchange or market on the valuation date. 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 such prices are not available, the security will be valued in accordance with fair value methods approved by the Board.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (LIQUIDATION BASIS)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)
Open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value (“NAV”), with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities.
If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security will be valued by another method that the Board believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board’s fair valuation pricing policies.
The valuation procedures include a procedure whereby “fair valuation” of certain foreign securities prices may be provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board. The Funds use fair value pricing to seek to ensure that the Funds’ NAV reflects the value of its underlying portfolio securities. There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value used by the Funds on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security or securities than the market price of such security or securities. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.
The Funds utilize various inputs in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below. Each Fund’s hierarchy can be found in its corresponding Schedule of Investments.
Level 1 — | quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Level 2 — | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Level 3 — | significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
In January, 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosure regarding transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Funds disclose significant transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of the reporting period. For the period ended September 30, 2010, there were no material transfers between Levels 1 and 2. ASU 2010-06 will also require additional details regarding Level 3 transaction activity effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010.
NAV per share of each Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of each Fund by the total number of outstanding shares of that Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ NAVs are calculated at the close of the regular trading session on the NYSE ordinarily 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on each day that such exchange is open.
American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”)
The Funds may invest in ADRs. For many foreign securities, US Dollar-denominated ADRs, which are traded in the United States on exchanges or OTC, are issued by domestic banks. ADRs represent the right to receive securities of foreign issuers deposited in a domestic bank or a correspondent bank. ADRs are an alternative to purchasing the underlying securities in their national markets and currencies. ADRs do not eliminate all the risk inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers. However, by investing in ADRs rather than directly in foreign issuers’ stock, a Fund can avoid certain risks related to investing in foreign securities in non-U.S. markets.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
The Funds may invest in the securities of REITs, which pool investors’ funds for investments primarily in commercial real estate properties, to the extent allowed by law. Investment in REITs may be the most practical available means for the Funds to invest in the real estate industry. As a shareholder in a REIT, a Fund would bear its ratable share of the REIT’s expenses, including its advisory and administration fees. At the same time, a Fund would continue to pay its own investment advisory fees and other expenses, as a result of which the Funds and their shareholders in effect will be absorbing duplicate levels of fees with respect to investments in REITs.
Foreign Currency
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in US Dollars. The valuation of investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US Dollars at the prevailing exchange rates each business day. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US Dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against specific transactions, Funds positions or anticipated Funds positions. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded, as the Funds do not intend to hold the contracts to maturity. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate, and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Funds realize gains and losses at the time forward contracts are extinguished. Unrealized gains or losses on outstanding positions in forward foreign currency contracts held at the close of the year are recognized as ordinary income or loss for Federal tax purposes. As of September 30, 2010, there were no forward foreign currency contracts outstanding.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded using the specific identification method.
Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of each Fund.
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. The Funds will distribute their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually.
3.INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Funds have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Old Mutual Global Index Trackers (Pty) Limited (the “Adviser”). The Adviser acts as the Funds’ investment adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and investment of the Funds’ securities portfolio. For its services, the Funds pay the Adviser an advisory fee, accrued daily and payable monthly at an annual rate of 0.125% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.

Offering costs expensed for the period ended September 30, 2010 were $86,603. The Adviser may recoup some or all of these costs subject to the Expense Reimbursement Agreement described in Note 3.
6.ISSUANCE AND REDEMPTION OF FUND SHARES
Shares of the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund, GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World ex US Fund and GlobalShares FTSE All-Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol GSR, GSD, GSW, GSO and GSZ, respectively. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts substantially less than a Creation Unit.
Only “Authorized Participants”, typically a broker/dealer may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Funds. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
On February 17, 2010, under the authorization of the Board, a 5-for-1 stock split was implemented on the GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund. The impact of the stock split was to increase the number of shares outstanding by a factor of five, while decreasing the NAV per share by a factor of five, resulting in no effect to the total net assets of the Fund. The financial statements of the Fund have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.
October 5, 2010 was the last day of trading in the Funds on the NYSE.

7.FEDERAL INCOME TAX
The Funds intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains to shareholders.
At September 30, 2010, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for Federal income tax purposes were as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to tax treatment of redemptions in kind, non-deductible organization costs and tax treatment of currency gains and losses. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

At September 30, 2010, the Funds listed below had net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes which are available for offset against future taxable net capital gains. The amounts were determined after adjustments for certain differences between financial reporting and tax purposes, such as wash sale losses. Accordingly, no capital gain distributions are expected to be paid to shareholders of these Funds until future net capital gains have been realized in excess of the available capital loss carryforwards. All tax losses will go unused due to the liquidation.

Financial reporting rules prescribe a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Funds’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which they invest. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. If applicable, the Funds will recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” expense on the Statements of Operations. Management has determined that there is no impact resulting from analysis of the benefits of the Funds’ tax position based on the prescribed minimum threshold.
Financial reporting rules require management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, fiscal year 2010, as defined by IRS statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the period ended September 30, 2010, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds have no examination in progress and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
8.RISKS
Below are some of the principal risks of investing in the Funds. Please refer to the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a full discussion.
Foreign and Emerging Market Holdings — Investing in the securities of foreign issuers, particularly those in emerging market countries, involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in US companies. These risks and considerations include differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, generally higher commission rates on foreign portfolio transactions, the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, political instability which could affect US investment in foreign countries and potential restrictions on the flow of international capital and currencies. Foreign issuers may also be subject to less government regulation than US companies. Moreover, the dividends and interest payable on foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available for distribution to a Fund’s shareholders. Further, foreign securities often trade with less frequency and volume than domestic securities and, therefore, may exhibit greater price volatility. Changes in foreign exchange rates will affect, favorably or unfavorably, the value of those securities which are denominated or quoted in currencies other than the US Dollar.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
8.RISKS - (continued)
Each Fund may hold depositary receipts, which may be traded in the US but bear the risks of non-US securities. Some depositary receipts may become illiquid and bear extra costs.
Investments in certain jurisdictions require approval of the Funds by local regulators which could be delayed. Certain foreign sub-custodians may pose credit risk and settlement failures are more common.
Emerging markets are subject to greater political and economic instability and uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets, and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. There may be less information publicly available with regard to emerging market issuers. There may be no single centralized securities exchange on which securities are traded in emerging market countries and the systems of corporate governance to which companies in emerging markets are subject may be less advanced than that to which US issuers are subject, and therefore, shareholders in such companies may not receive many of the protections available to shareholders of US issuers. Securities law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled. Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder rights may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, the enforcement of systems of taxation at federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries may be inconsistent, and subject to sudden change.
Small- and Medium-Capitalization Company — Investing in securities of small- and medium-capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small- and medium-capitalization companies and the industries in which they are focused are still evolving and, while this may offer better growth potential than larger, more established companies, it also may make them more sensitive to changing market conditions.
Non-Correlation — The Funds’ returns may not match the return of their Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Funds incur operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incur costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Funds’ securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index.
Due to legal and regulatory rules and limitations imposed by certain countries and stock exchanges on which securities in the Underlying Index trade, including foreign ownership limitations and margin requirements, the Funds may not be able to invest in all securities included in the Underlying Index or may be delayed in purchasing or selling securities included in the Underlying Index. The Funds may exclude certain securities included in the Underlying Index that are traded in certain countries due to issues such as foreign investment and/or trading restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints. Liquidity constraints may delay the Funds’ purchase or sale of securities included in the Underlying Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Funds may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from their Underlying Index.
The Funds may not be fully invested at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Funds or reserves of cash held by the Funds to meet redemptions and expenses. Because the Funds utilize a sampling approach or if the Funds utilize futures or other derivative positions, their returns may not correlate as well with the return of their Underlying Index as would be the case if it purchased all of the securities in the Underlying Index with the same weightings as the Underlying Index.
Subsequent to September 24, 2010, the Funds began the process of liquidating assets in each portfolio. As a result, for the period from September 25 through the final day of operations, the Funds will experience significantly less correlation with the Underlying Indexes than if they were fully invested.

9.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Funds expect any risk of loss to be remote and maintain insurance for certain events.
10.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund, GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World ex US Fund and GlobalShares FTSE All-Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund paid an income distribution of $.03235, $.11596, $.05425 and $.13801 per share, respectively, on October 5, 2010.
In accordance with the provisions set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855-10, Subsequent Events, Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date this report was issued. Management has determined that, except as set forth above, there are no material events that would require adjustment or disclosure through this date.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund, GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World ex US Fund, and GlobalShares FTSE All-Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund, each a series of Old Mutual Global Shares Trust, (collectively, the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets and financial highlights for the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GlobalShares FTSE Emerging Markets Fund, GlobalShares FTSE Developed Countries ex US Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World Fund, GlobalShares FTSE All-World ex US Fund, and GlobalShares FTSE All-Cap Asia Pacific ex Japan Fund as of September 30, 2010, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Funds’ Board of Trustees has decided to cease operations and liquidate the Funds. Our opinion has not been modified in respect to this matter.
