As permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ (defined below) shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from your financial intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank). Instead, shareholder reports will be available on the Funds’ website (www. globalxetfs.com/explore), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Funds electronically anytime by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future Fund shareholder reports in paper free of charge. Please contact your financial intermediary to inform them that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of Fund shareholder reports and for details about whether your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary.
Table of Contents

The Funds’ Form N-PORT is available on the Commission’s website at https://www.sec.gov, and may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

1. ORGANIZATION
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 (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of May 31, 2024, the Trust had one hundred portfolios, ninety-two of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF, Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF, Global X Emerging Markets Bond ETF, Global X Brazil Active ETF and Global X India Active ETF (each a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”).
Each Fund (except the Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF and Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF) has elected non-diversified status under the 1940 Act.
On November 11, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”, and the members thereof, the “Trustees”) approved, on behalf of the Funds, a proposed agreement and plan of reorganization of the Emerging Markets Fund and the Emerging Markets Great Consumer Fund (each, a “Predecessor Fund” and collectively, the “Predecessor Funds”), each a series of Mirae Asset Discovery Funds, into corresponding newly created series of the Trust, resulting in their operation as actively managed exchange-traded funds (the “Reorganization”). The Board of Trustees of Mirae Asset Discovery Funds also voted to approve the Reorganization on behalf of the Predecessor Funds on November 11, 2022.
On March 15, 2023, the shareholders of the Predecessor Funds approved the Reorganization. Because the Funds only offer a single class of shares of beneficial interest, prior to the Reorganization, Class A shares and Class C shares of each Predecessor Fund were converted to Class I shares of each respective Predecessor Fund, without any contingent deferred sales charges or other charges. This change became effective on April 27, 2023. Upon the closing of the Reorganization on May 12, 2023, in exchange for their Class I Shares of the respective Predecessor Fund, each Predecessor Fund shareholder received shares of the Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF and Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF, respectively. The Funds assumed the performance, financial, accounting and other historical information of the Predecessor Funds’ Class I shares. As disclosed in the shareholder proxy materials, the Funds underwent changes to certain service providers as part of the Reorganization.
Prior to April 27, 2023, each Fund offered three classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares. Class A, Class C and Class I Shares were identical except as to sales charges, distribution and other expenses borne by each class and voting rights on matters affecting a single class of Shares, and the exchange privilege of each class of shares. Class A Shares of the Funds had a maximum sales charge of 5.75% as a percentage of the offering price. Class C Shares of the Funds were offered without any front-end sales charge but were subject to a maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00% if redeemed less than one year after purchase. Class C Shares that were no longer subject to a deferred sales

charge could be converted to Class A Shares of the same Fund on the basis of relative net asset values. No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class I Shares of the Funds.
Effective September 1, 2023, the Board approved the change of fiscal and tax year-ends from April 30, to November 30, for the Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF and Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF.
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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
SECURITY VALUATION — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (“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 Eastern Standard Time 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. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currencies 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.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures (the “Fair Value Procedures”) established by Global X Management Company LLC, the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”), and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” to determine the fair value of securities and other instruments for which no readily available market quotations are available. The Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) of the Adviser. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate
54
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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, each Fund may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s 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 each Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”). 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 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 their NAVs, 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 May 31, 2024, there were no securities priced using the Fair Value Procedures.
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 will be valued at their market value. 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.
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).
55
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 NAV as of the measurement date or within the near term, and short-term investments valued at amortized cost); and
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 NAV 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 details of the investment classification, reference the Schedule of Investments.
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 May 31, 2024. 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.
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%) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based
56
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 period. The Funds did not record any tax positions 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 and regulations, and interpretations thereof. Any foreign tax filings that have not been made will be filed within the prescribed period.
As of and during the reporting period ended May 31, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are also 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 12 months.
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. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts is included in interest income.
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 Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and translations represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency spot contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – The Funds distribute their net investment income on a pro rata basis. Any net realized capital gains are distributed annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES – Per the terms of an agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”), if a Fund has a cash overdraft, it will be charged interest at a rate then charged by BNY Mellon to its institutional custody clients in the relevant currency. Cash overdraft charges are included in custodian fees on the Statements of Operations. Prior to on or about June 26, 2023, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”) acted as the Custodian for the Global X Emerging Markets Bond ETF, and if the Fund had a cash overdraft on a given day, it was assessed an overdraft charge equal to the applicable BBH Base Rate plus 2.00%.
CREATION UNITS – The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at NAV and only in large blocks of Shares (10,000 for Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF, 10,000 for Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF, 50,000 for Global X Emerging Markets Bond ETF, 10,000 for Global X Brazil Active ETF and 10,000 for Global X India Active ETF), 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 BNY Mellon, 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 the Creation Unit breakdown:
| | Creation Unit Shares | | Creation Fee | | Value at May 31, 2024 | | Redemption Fee |
Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF | | | 10,000 | | | $ | 1,200 | | | $ | 267,900 | | | $ | 1,200 | |
Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF | | | 10,000 | | | | 1,200 | | | | 260,800 | | | | 1,200 | |

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 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. There may be significant obstacles to obtaining information necessary for investigations into or litigation against emerging market companies and shareholders may have limited legal remedies.
Special Risk Considerations of Investing in China – Variable Interest Entity Investments. For purposes of raising capital offshore on exchanges outside of China, including on U.S. exchanges, many Chinese-based operating companies are structured as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). In this structure, the Chinese-based operating company is the VIE and establishes a shell company in a foreign jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands. The shell company lists on a foreign exchange and enters into contractual arrangements with the VIE. This structure allows Chinese companies in which the government restricts foreign ownership to raise capital from foreign investors. While the shell company has no equity ownership of the VIE, these contractual arrangements permit the shell company to consolidate the VIE’s financial statements with its own for accounting purposes and provide for economic exposure to the performance of the underlying Chinese operating company. Therefore, an investor in the listed shell company, such as certain of the Funds, will have exposure to the Chinese-based operating company only through contractual arrangements and has no ownership in the Chinese-based operating company. Furthermore, because the shell company only has specific rights provided for in these service agreements with the VIE, its abilities to control the activities at the Chinese-based operating company are limited and the operating company may engage in activities that negatively impact investment value. While the VIE structure has been widely adopted, it is not formally recognized under Chinese law and therefore there is a risk that the Chinese government could prohibit the existence of such structures or negatively impact the VIE’s contractual arrangements with the listed shell company by declaring them invalid. If these contracts
65
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
were found to be unenforceable under Chinese law, investors in the listed shell company, such as a Fund, may suffer significant losses with little or no recourse available. If the Chinese government determines that the agreements establishing the VIE structures do not comply with Chinese law and regulations, including those related to restrictions on foreign ownership, it could subject a Chinese-based issuer to penalties, revocation of business and operating licenses, or forfeiture of ownership interest. In addition, the listed shell company’s control over a VIE may also be jeopardized if a natural person who holds the equity interest in the VIE breaches the terms of the agreement, is subject to legal proceedings or if any physical instruments for authenticating documentation, such as chops and seals, are used without the Chinese-based issuer’s authorization to enter into contractual arrangements in China. Chops and seals, which are carved stamps used to sign documents, represent a legally binding commitment by the company. Moreover, any future regulatory action may prohibit the ability of the shell company to receive the economic benefits of the Chinese based operating company, which may cause the value of a Fund’s investment in the listed shell company to suffer a significant loss. For example, in 2021, the Chinese government prohibited use of the VIE structure for investment in after-school tutoring companies. There is no guarantee that the government will not place similar restrictions on other industries.
These actions, any future sanctions or other actions, or even the threat of further sanctions or other actions, may negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Funds’ investments. For example, a Fund may be prohibited from investing in securities issued by companies subject to such sanctions. In addition, sanctions may require a Fund to freeze its existing investments, prohibiting such Fund from buying, selling or otherwise transacting in these investments.
Each Fund 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.
Certain Funds may have investments in financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations. LIBOR was intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. The publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR rates ceased to be published after June 2023. There remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on the Funds and the instruments in which the Funds invest. There can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) or financial instruments in which the Funds invest that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce
66
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)
the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the Adjustable Interest Rate Act. The regulations provide a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR, by identifying benchmark rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that replaced LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. These regulations apply only to contracts governed by U.S. law, among other limitations. The Funds may have instruments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be published in the future. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held by the Funds could result in losses to the Funds.
Economic conditions, such as volatile currency exchange rates and interest rates, political events, military action and other conditions may, without prior warning, lead to foreign government intervention (including intervention by the U.S. Government with respect to foreign governments, economic sectors, foreign companies and related securities and interests) and the imposition of capital controls (i.e., government measures designed to limit the flow of foreign capital in and out of the domestic economy) and/or sanctions, which may also include retaliatory actions of one government against another government, such as the seizure of assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions include the prohibition of, or restrictions on, the ability to transfer currency, securities or other assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions may also impact the ability of the Funds to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Shares of the Funds, and cause the Funds to decline in value.
Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information (“SAI”) for a more complete description of risks.
7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Each Fund may lend portfolio securities having a market value up to one-third of its total assets. Security loans made pursuant to a securities lending agreement with BNY Mellon are initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% for U.S.-based securities and 105% for foreign based securities. Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements or U.S. Treasury obligations and is recognized in the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The obligation to return securities lending collateral is also recognized as a liability in the Statements 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

7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES (continued)
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 failed 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 securities lending agency agreement requires the lending agent to indemnify the Funds by replacing either the security or the security’s current market value to the Funds. 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 May 31, 2024, the Funds had no securities on loan.
8. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION
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. MERGER
Effective as of the close of business on May 12, 2023, the Global X Emerging Markets ETF and Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF (collectively, the “Acquiring Funds”) acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Emerging Markets Fund and the Emerging Markets Great Consumer Fund (each, a “Acquired Fund” and collectively, the “Acquired Funds”), respectively, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees on November 11, 2022. Effective as of the close of business on May 12, 2023, the Acquired Funds were reorganized into the Acquiring Funds, each a separate series of the Trust (together, the “Combined Funds”) and the Combined Funds were renamed Global X Emerging Markets ETF and Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF. The Acquiring Funds are the legal surviving entities in the Reorganization, while the Acquired Funds are the accounting survivor or continuing portfolio for purposes of financial and performance history of the Combined Funds.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange as follows:

The Global X Emerging Markets ETF was renamed the Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF, effective as of April 1, 2024.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have been evaluated by management regarding the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional adjustments were required to the financial statements.
69
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 a Fund’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment returns. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’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 December 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024.
The table on the next page illustrates your 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 a 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.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (UNAUDITED)
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds’ investment adviser has adopted, and the Board has approved, a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk. The Program is overseen by the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 21, 2024, the Trustees received a report from the Committee addressing the operations of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The Committee’s report noted that the Committee had determined that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk and operated adequately and effectively to manage each Fund’s Liquidity Risk for the period covered by the report. The Committee’s report noted that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Committee’s report noted that a portfolio of the Trust, the Global X MSCI Nigeria ETF, was classified as an In-Kind Fund for purposes of Liquidity Reporting. The Committee’s report noted that no other material changes have been made to the Program since its implementation.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding a Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Funds may be subject.
72
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited)
Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), requires that the board of trustees of an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), including a majority of those trustees who are not “interested persons” of the ETF, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), consider on an initial basis and periodically thereafter (as required by the 1940 Act), at an in person meeting called for such purpose, the terms of each ETF’s investment advisory agreement and whether to approve entering into, or renewing, each agreement.
At a Board meeting of the Trust held on November 16, 2023, called for such purpose, the Board (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees, voting separately) considered and unanimously approved the continuation of (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement”) for each Fund included in this Annual Report (each, a “Renewal Fund” and together, the “Renewal Funds”); (ii) the Supervision and Administration Agreement (“Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of each Renewal Fund, and Global X Management; (iii) the Sub-Advisory Agreement between Global X Management, on behalf of the Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF and Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF, and Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) Limited (“Mirae Hong Kong”) (the “Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement”); and (iv) the Sub-Advisory Agreement between Global X Management, on behalf of the Global X Emerging Markets Bond ETF (the “Emerging Markets Bond Fund”), and Mirae Asset Global Investments (USA) LLC (“Mirae USA”) (the “Mirae USA Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The Renewal Investment Advisory Agreement, and the Renewal Supervision and Administration Agreement are referred to herein as the “Renewal Agreements.”
In advance of the November 16, 2023 Board meeting, the Board (including the Trust’s Independent Trustees) and the Independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel requested (in writing) detailed information from Global X Management, Mirae Hong Kong and Mirae USA in connection with the Board’s consideration of the Renewal Agreements, the Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Mirae USA Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement, and received and reviewed written responses from Global X Management, Mirae Hong Kong and Mirae USA, as well as supporting materials relating to those requests for information. Subsequent to the receipt of that information, the Independent Trustees requested additional information regarding certain changes in senior management of Global X Management, which was provided to them in advance of the Board meeting.
At the November 16, 2023 Board meeting, the Board approved the Renewal Agreements, the Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Mirae USA Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement, for the period ending February 29, 2024, in order to ensure continuity of management of the Renewal Funds. However, the Independent Trustees also determined to postpone a vote on the renewal of the Renewal Agreements, the Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Mirae USA Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement for a full annual period in order to provide the Independent Trustees with the opportunity
73
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (Continued)
to further consider certain changes in Global X Management’s senior leadership, which occurred approximately contemporaneously with the Board’s consideration of the Renewal Agreements, the Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Mirae USA Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement, and in order to permit Global X Management to confirm certain information provided in advance of the November 16, 2023 Board meeting. Global X Management subsequently provided additional information to the Board in advance of a second meeting called for the purpose of considering the extension of the Renewal Agreements, the Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Mirae USA Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement for a full year. At a Board meeting of the Trust held on December 21, 2023, the Trust’s Board, which was comprised entirely of Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Renewal Agreements, the Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Mirae USA Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement for an aggregate one-year period ending November 30, 2024.
In the course of their consideration of the Renewal Agreements, the Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Mirae USA Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trust’s Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel and, in addition to meetings with management of Global X Management, the Independent Trustees met separately in executive sessions with their counsel.
RENEWAL AGREEMENTS
In determining to approve the continuation of the Renewal Agreements for the Renewal Funds, the Board considered a variety of factors, including the factors discussed in greater detail below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | the terms of the Renewal Agreements and the range of services that would continue to be provided to each Renewal Fund in accordance with the Renewal Agreements; |
| |
• | Global X Management’s key personnel and the portfolio managers who would continue to provide investment advisory, supervision and administrative services to each Renewal Fund. In considering the key personnel, the Board considered the departures of certain key executives of Global X Management and their replacements, and the plan for identifying a permanent replacement for Global X Management’s chief executive officer; |
| |
• | Global X Management’s responsibilities under the Renewal Agreements, among other things, to: (i) manage the investment operations of the Renewal Funds and the composition of the Renewal Funds’ assets, including the purchase, retention and disposition of their holdings, (ii) provide quarterly reports to the Trust’s officers and the Board and other reports as the Board deems necessary or appropriate, (iii) vote |
74
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (Continued)
| proxies, exercise consents, and exercise all other rights relating to securities and assets held by the Renewal Funds, (iv) select broker-dealers to execute portfolio transactions for the Renewal Funds when necessary, (v) assist in the preparation and filing of reports and proxy statements (if any) to the shareholders of the Renewal Funds, and the periodic updating of the registration statement, prospectuses, statements of additional information, and other reports and documents for the Renewal Funds that are required to be filed by the Trust with the SEC and other regulatory and governmental bodies, and (vi) monitor anticipated purchases and redemptions of the shares (including Creation Units) of the Renewal Funds by shareholders and new investors; |
| |
• | the nature, extent and quality of all of the services (including advisory, administrative and compliance services) that have been provided by Global X Management or made available to the Renewal Funds; and |
| |
• | the quality of Global X Management’s resources and personnel that would continue to be made available to the Renewal Funds, including Global X Management’s experience and the professional qualifications of Global X Management’s key personnel. In evaluating key personnel, the Board considered the qualifications of Global X Management’s chief operating officer and interim chief executive officer, and considered Global X Management’s plans for hiring a permanent chief executive officer. |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Renewal Funds by Global X Management.
Performance
The Board considered the performance of each Renewal Fund. They examined the performance of the Renewal Funds for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods, as applicable. Also, the Board considered the total return and investments performance of the Renewal Funds relative to (i) the performance of unaffiliated comparable ETFs and/or other registered funds, which performance information is publicly available from such registered funds, as well as other third party sources; and (ii) the performance of pertinent indexes. The Board considered instances of under-performance and overperformance with respect to the competitor funds. The Board also considered the Renewal Funds’ tracking against their underlying indexes in absolute terms.
Based on these considerations and comparisons, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Renewal Funds did not adversely affect the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Renewal Agreements.
Cost of Services and Profitability
The Board considered Global X Management’s cost to provide investment management, supervision and administrative and related services to the Renewal Funds. In this regard,

the Board considered the management fee (“Management Fee”) that has been borne or is expected to be borne by the Renewal Funds under the Renewal Agreements for the various investment advisory, supervisory and administrative services that the Renewal Funds require under a unitary fee structure (including the types of fees and expenses that are not included within the unitary fee and would be borne by the Renewal Funds).
In addition, the Board considered expected profitability to Global X Management, as applicable, from all services provided or expected to be provided to the Renewal Funds and all aspects of Global X Management’s relationship with the Renewal Funds. In connection with these considerations, Global X Management provided the Board with financial information regarding its operations and the services provided to the Renewal Funds and discussed with the Board its current and expected, as applicable, profitability with respect to the Renewal Funds.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the Management Fee rate paid by the Renewal Funds to Global X Management, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, was reasonable and in the best interests of the Renewal Funds’ shareholders.
Comparison of Fees and Services
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | comparative information with respect to the Management Fee paid to Global X Management by the Renewal Funds. In connection with this consideration, Global X Management provided the Board with comparative expense data for the Renewal Funds, including fees and expenses paid by unaffiliated similar specialized and/or focused ETFs and/or other comparable registered funds. The Board considered the Global X Management’s detailed explanation of the fee structures of any Renewal Fund that was above the average or median for its peer group; |
| |
• | the structure of the unitary Management Fee (which includes as one component the investment advisory fee for the Renewal Funds) and the current total expense ratios for the Renewal Funds. In this regard, the Board took into consideration that the purpose of adopting a unitary Management Fee structure for the Renewal Funds was to create a simple, all-inclusive fee that would provide a level of predictability with respect to the overall expense ratio (i.e., the total fees) of the Renewal Funds and that the proposed Management Fees for the Renewal Funds were set at a competitive levels to make the Renewal Funds viable in the marketplace; and |
| |
• | that, under the unified Management Fee structure, Global X Management is responsible for most ordinary expenses of the Renewal Funds, including the costs of various third-party services required by the Renewal Funds, including investment advisory, administrative, audit, certain custody, portfolio accounting, legal, transfer agency and printing costs, but that the Renewal Funds would bear other expenses |
76
Renewal of Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (Continued)
not covered under the proposed all-inclusive Management Fee, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and other transaction expenses, interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the services received and the fees charged under the Renewal Agreements were reasonable on a comparative basis.
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Renewal Funds grow and whether the unitary Management Fee for the Renewal Funds reflected these economies of scale; |
| |
• | the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Global X Management has made and intends to continue to make in the Renewal Funds in order to seek to assure that the Renewal Funds are attractive to investors; and |
| |
• | that the unitary Management Fee would provide a high level of certainty as to the total level of expenses for the Renewal Funds and their shareholders |
Based on these considerations, the Board concluded that the unitary Management Fee for the Renewal Funds appropriately addressed economies of scale.
Other Benefits
In considering the Renewal Agreements, in addition to the factors above, the Board considered any other benefits realized by Global X Management as a result of its relationships with the Renewal Funds and concluded that, in the exercise of the Board’s business judgement, all information the Board considered supported approval of the continuation of the Renewal Agreements.
Conclusion
After full consideration of the factors above, as well as other factors that were instructive in its consideration, the Board, including all of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, concluded, in the exercise of its business judgement, that the Renewal Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each Renewal Fund.
In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors above nor did the Board deem any one factor or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. Each member of the Board may have assigned different weights to the various factors.

Also, the Board considered the total return and investment performance of each Renewal Fund relative to (i) the performance of unaffiliated comparable specialized and/or focused exchange-traded funds and other registered funds in the same classification as each Renewal Fund, which performance information is publicly available from such registered funds as well as other third party sources; and (ii) the performance of comparable registered funds and pertinent indexes.

In this regard, the Board considered the sub-advisory fee paid to Mirae Hong Kong (from the Management Fee borne by each Renewal Fund under the Investment Management Agreement) for the various investment advisory services that each Renewal Fund requires.
In addition, the Board considered the expected profitability to Mirae Hong Kong from all services provided or expected to be provided to each Renewal Fund by the Sub-Adviser and all aspects of Mirae Hong Kong’s relationship with each Renewal Fund.

• | comparative information with respect to the sub-advisory fee paid to Mirae Hong Kong by Global X Management (from the Management Fee paid to the Adviser by each Renewal Fund).

| |
• | the structure of the sub-advisory fee and the total expense ratio for each Renewal Fund. |
Economies of Scale
With respect to this factor, the Board considered:
• | the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each Renewal Fund grows and whether the sub-advisory fee for each Renewal Fund reflected these economies of scale, and noted that Mirae Hong Kong represented that it does not expect to experience any economies of scale by providing continued sub-advisory services to each Renewal Fund, based on the anticipated size of the Fund during at least the Fund’s first few years; and |
| |
• | the significant investment of time, personnel and other resources that Mirae Hong Kong has made and intends to continue to make in each Renewal Fund to seek to assure that the Fund is attractive to investors. |
Other Benefits
In considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, in addition to the categories discussed above, the Board considered other benefits realized by Mirae Hong Kong because of its relationship with each Renewal Fund.
Conclusion
After full consideration of the factors above, as well as other factors that were instructive in its consideration, the Board, including all of the Trust’s Independent Trustees voting separately, concluded, in the exercise of its business judgement, that the Mirae Hong Kong Renewal Sub-Advisory Agreement was fair and reasonable and in the best interest of each of the Global X Emerging Markets ex-China ETF and Global X Emerging Markets Great Consumer ETF.
In reaching this decision, the Board did not assign relative weights to the factors above nor did the Board deem any one factor or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves. Each member of the Board may have assigned different weights to the various factors.

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 a Fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. A Fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Market Price of a Fund 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 a Fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
