Investment objective & strategy
As of March 27, 2026 · prospectusObjective. The Global X Alternative Income ETF ("Fund") seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Indxx SuperDividend Alternatives Index ("Underlying Index").
Strategy. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of the Indxx SuperDividend Alternatives Index (the "Underlying Index") and in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") based on the securities in the Underlying Index. The Fund's 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and requires 60 days prior written notice to shareholders before it can be changed. The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of the Funds total assets (including the value of the collateral received). The Underlying Index is intended to provide exposure to five income-producing categories: Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs") and Infrastructure, Real Estate, Preferreds, Emerging Market Bonds and Covered Calls. The MLPs and Infrastructure categories primarily consist … The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of the Indxx SuperDividend Alternatives Index (the "Underlying Index") and in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") based on the securities in the Underlying Index. The Fund's 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and requires 60 days prior written notice to shareholders before it can be changed. The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of the Funds total assets (including the value of the collateral received). The Underlying Index is intended to provide exposure to five income-producing categories: Master Limited Partnerships ("MLPs") and Infrastructure, Real Estate, Preferreds, Emerging Market Bonds and Covered Calls. The MLPs and Infrastructure categories primarily consist of units of MLPs and shares of infrastructure companies. The Real Estate category provides exposure to global real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), and gains this exposure through investing directly in the Global X SuperDividend REIT ETF. The Preferreds category provides exposure to U.S. preferred securities, and gains this exposure through investing directly in the Global X U.S. Preferred ETF. The Emerging Markets Bonds category provides exposure to emerging markets debt, and gains this exposure through investing directly in the Global X Emerging Markets Bond ETF. The Covered Call category provides exposure to a covered call strategy, and gains this exposure through investing directly in the Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF. At the annual reconstitution, each of the five categories is equally weighted at 20%. The Underlying Index may rebalance quarterly if any one category deviates more than 3% from its target weight, in which case each category is rebalanced back to equal weight of 20%. The Fund's investment objective and Underlying Index may be changed without shareholder approval. The Underlying Index is sponsored by Indxx, LLC (the Index Provider), which is an organization that is independent of, and unaffiliated with, the Fund and Global X Management Company LLC, the investment adviser for the Fund ("Adviser"). The Index Provider determines the relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index. The Adviser uses an indexing approach to try to achieve the Fund's investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to "outperform" the Underlying Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. The Fund generally will use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index. However, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Underlying Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow the Underlying Index, in instances in which a security in the Underlying 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 Underlying Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index, before fees and expenses, will exceed 95%. A correlation percentage of 100% would indicate perfect correlation. If the Fund uses a replication strategy, it can be expected to have greater correlation to the Underlying Index than if it uses a representative sampling strategy. The Fund concentrates its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated. As of January 31, 2026, the Underlying Index was not concentrated in any industry or sector.
