Fund Description: Global X FinTech Thematic ETF is an exchange-traded index fund or Index ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the Global X Funds, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The Global X FinTech Thematic ETF seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Indxx Global FinTech Thematic Index. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The Indxx Global FinTech Thematic Index is designed to provide exposure to exchange-listed companies in developed markets that provide financial technology products and services, including companies involved in mobile payments, peer-to-peer (P2P) and marketplace lending, financial analytics software and alternative currencies (collectively, FinTech Companies), as defined by INDXX, the Index Provider. The following countries were eligible for inclusion in the Index: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States, which may change over time. The Index Provider identifies FinTech Companies by applying a proprietary analysis that consists of two primary components: theme identification and company analysis and identified the following six fintech themes: (1) Mobile Payments (2) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Marketplace Lending, (3) Enterprise Solutions, (4) Blockchain and Alternative Currencies, (5) Crowdfunding and (6) Personal Finance Software and Automated Wealth Management/Trading. In the second step of the process, companies are analyzed based on two primary criteria: revenue exposure and primary business operations. The Index is weighted according to a modified capitalization weighting methodology and is reconstituted and rebalanced annually. At the annual rebalance, a capping methodology is applied to reduce concentration in individual securities and increase diversification of the Index. The Index may include large-, mid- or small-capitalization companies, and components primarily include financial and information technology companies. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of the Index. The Adviser uses a passive or indexing approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to beat the Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. The Fund generally will use a replication strategy which is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Index. However, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental or disadvantageous to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to replicate the Index, in instances in which a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund but not the Index. FUND MANAGEMENT: Global X Management Company LLC serves as the Investment Adviser to the Fund.
