DISCLOSURE
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investments may involve risk of capital loss
from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic
or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as
increased volatility and lower trading volume. High yielding stocks are often speculative, high risk investments. These companies
can be paying out more than they can support and may reduce their dividends or stop paying dividends at any time, which could
have a material adverse effect on the stock price of these companies and the Fund's performance.
Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and
additional information can be found in the Funds' prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-888-GX-FUND-1 (1.888.493.8631),
or by visiting www.globalxfunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully
before investing.
Global X Management Company LLC serves as an advisor to the Global X Funds. The Funds are distributed by SEI Investments

Global X NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The closing price is the
Mid-Point between the Bid and Ask price as of the close of exchange.
