How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Return Index (“Secondary Index”).

 

The Secondary Index is designed to reflect the performance of the silver mining industry. It is comprised of selected companies globally that are actively engaged in some aspect of the silver mining industry, such as silver mining, refining, or exploration, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Secondary Index.

 

For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2025 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 75.97%, while the Secondary Index increased 77.61%. The Fund had a net asset value of $38.68 per share at the start of the reporting period on October 31, 2024 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $66.36 per share on October 31, 2025.

 

The Fund delivered positive returns during the reporting period, supported by a favorable backdrop for silver producers. Silver rallied alongside record-breaking gold prices and rising safe-haven flows, with prices nearing fresh peaks that boosted miners’ revenues and valuations. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s 0.25-percentage-point rate cut in September eased real-yield headwinds and supported a softer dollar—historically constructive for precious metals. On fundamentals, record industrial demand alongside a meaningful market deficit underscored tight physical conditions that reinforced pricing support for producers. Policy developments in Mexico, the world’s leading silver producer, further tightened supply expectations as the government reaffirmed that no new mining concessions will be granted, a stance that may constrain project pipelines and favor established operators. At the same time, global solar deployment set another record in 2025, with investor optimism for growth in the coming year, underscoring durable demand for silver-bearing PV technologies and improving miners’ cash-flow visibility.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index (“Secondary Index”). The Fund is passively managed, which means the investment adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. The Fund generally seeks to fully replicate the Secondary Index.

 

The Secondary Index is designed to reflect the performance of the copper mining industry and is comprised of copper companies, companies engaged in copper mining, exploration, or a closely related activity, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Secondary Index.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2025 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 43.39%, while the Secondary Index increased 44.33%. The Fund had a net asset value of $43.79 per share on October 31, 2024 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $61.59 per share on October 31, 2025.

 

The Fund delivered positive performance over the reporting period, supported by a stronger copper backdrop. Supply shocks tightened the market: Indonesia's Grasberg operation halt and Panama's mine shutdown reduced expected output and buoyed miners' earnings expectations. U.S. tariffs on copper notably excluded key copper input materials, easing fears of supply chain disruption; as a result, the COMEX premium to LME prices swiftly narrowed back to 0%, while the exemption helped alleviate earlier concerns about potential weakness in U.S. demand. On the demand side, China signaled more macro support with fresh policy-based financing, which typically benefits copper-intensive sectors. Despite Chinese smelting expansion pushing refined output toward record levels, net market expectations shifted toward a deficit after the Indonesian disruption, reinforcing investor appetite for mining stocks. Overall, this mix of supply constraints and policy-driven demand support underpinned the Fund's gains.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Gold Explorers & Developers Total Return Index (“Secondary Index”).

 

The Secondary Index tracks price movements in the shares of companies which are active in the gold mining industry as an explorer or developer, as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Secondary Index (“Index Provider”). The Fund also invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities of companies that are economically tied to the gold exploration industry. Companies economically tied to the gold exploration industry include those engaged in the exploration of gold mining projects.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2025 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 95.24%, while the Secondary Index increased 97.66%. The Fund had a net asset value of $34.82 per share on October 31, 2024 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $66.35 per share on October 31, 2025.

 

The Fund posted a positive performance over the reporting period, with gains supported by a powerful upswing in bullion prices, which benefitted exploration‑focused equities. Gold set fresh records around late September into early October as investors priced in U.S. rate‑cut expectations, a softer dollar, and safe‑haven demand around geopolitical risk and the U.S. government shutdown, which improved sentiment toward gold‑exposed companies. Underpinning this backdrop, central banks added 1,045.00 metric tons in 2024 and continued net purchases in early 2025, reinforcing structural support for gold to the benefit of producers and developers across key mining hubs. Higher bullion levels helped lure capital back to gold‑mining equity funds after prior outflows, as investors anticipated wider margins and strengthening balance sheets—tailwinds that tend to amplify moves in earlier‑stage companies. Investor expectations for a September Federal Reserve cut and intermittent dollar softness further supported the Fund’s positive returns during the reporting period.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?

The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Uranium & Nuclear Components Total Return Index ("Secondary Index").

 

The Secondary Index tracks the price movements in shares of companies with business operations or exposure in the uranium industry, as determined by Solactive AG, the Secondary Index provider. This includes companies engaged in uranium mining, exploration, uranium investments, and technologies related to the nuclear industry.

 

For the 12-month period ended October 31, 2025 (the “reporting period”), the Fund increased 84.83%, while the Secondary Index increased 85.94%. The Fund had a net asset value of $30.72 per share on October 31, 2024 and ended the reporting period with a net asset value of $55.25 per share on October 31, 2025.

 

The Fund delivered positive returns during the reporting period, supported by growing policy momentum favoring nuclear technology. Executive orders issued in May 2025 set out to accelerate nuclear power adoption by easing regulatory burdens and expanding nuclear capacity targets through 2050. Additional initiatives focused on strengthening domestic nuclear fuel production, funding research into spent fuel reprocessing, advancing next-generation reactor designs, and deploying new nuclear technologies on military installations. Globally, similar policy developments reinforced the trend, with Europe and other regions advancing pro-nuclear measures to enhance energy independence and meet climate goals. Supply risk came into focus after a temporary production suspension at the Inkai joint venture in Kazakhstan and, later, reduced output guidance at Cameco's McArthur River/Key Lake mine, both of which underscored the value of dependable Tier‑one assets. Further near‑term supply noise stemmed from weather‑related disruptions and a slower‑than‑planned ramp‑up at a key Namibian mine restart, tempering expectations for new supply reaching the market quickly. On the demand side, notable institutional interest emerged during the period, with several major funds and financial entities increasing their physical uranium holdings, further tightening market fundamentals.

Notes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2025

 

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The 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 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. As of October 31, 2025, the Trust had one hundred eleven portfolios, one hundred two of which were operational. The financial statements herein and the related notes pertain to the Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF and Global X Uranium ETF (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund (except the Global X Gold Explorers ETF) has elected non-diversified status under the 1940 Act.

 

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 (“FASB”). 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 and 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.

 

RETURN OF CAPITAL ESTIMATES — Distributions received by the Funds from underlying master limited partnership (“MLP”) and real estate investment trust (“REIT”) investments generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Funds record investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on historical information available from the MLPs, REITs and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

 

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 currency 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

October 31, 2025

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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 Funds’ Board of Trustees (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 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, the Funds may fair value a security if an event that may materially affect the value of the Funds’ 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.

 

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 to sell an asset

 

36

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

October 31, 2025

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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). 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 Schedules 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 as of October 31, 2025. 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.

 

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS — Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY”) in its role as Custodian to the Funds (the “Custodian”), and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf by the Custodian under a book-entry system. Each Fund monitors the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the

 

37

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

October 31, 2025

 

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.

 

It is each Fund’s policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations, and the Funds are prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (included in repurchase agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under an MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.

 

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 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based 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 year. 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.

 

If a Fund has foreign tax filings that have not been made, the tax years that remain subject to examination may date back to the inception of the Fund.

 

As of and during the reporting year ended October 31, 2025, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the reporting period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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 investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

CREATION UNITS — The Funds issue and redeem their shares (“Shares”) on a continuous basis at NAV and only in large blocks of 10,000 Shares, referred to as “Creation Units”. Purchasers of Creation Units (each, an “Authorized Participant”) 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 on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day. If a Creation

 

39

 

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, an additional variable fee may be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown:

 

   Creation
Unit
Shares
  Creation
Fee
  Redemption
Fee
Global X Silver Miners ETF   10,000   $250   $250 
Global X Copper Miners ETF   10,000    300    300 
Global X Gold Explorers ETF   10,000    400    400 
Global X Uranium ETF   10,000    600    600 

 

CASH OVERDRAFT CHARGES — Per the terms of an agreement with BNY, if a Fund has a cash overdraft, it will be charged interest at a rate then charged by BNY to its institutional custody clients in the relevant currency. Cash overdraft charges are included in Custodian Fees Payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Custodian Fees on the Statements of Operations, if applicable.

 

SEGMENT REPORTING — The Funds have adopted FASB Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) during the period, with the intent of improving reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole, thereby enabling better understanding of how an entity’s segments impact overall performance. The Funds’ adoption of ASU 2023-07 impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds’ financial position or results of operations.

 

The Adviser’s Chief Financial Officer acts as each Fund’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for assessing performance and allocating resources with respect to the Funds. The CODM has concluded that each Fund operates as a single operating segment since each Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within each Fund’s financial statements.

 

3. RELATED PARTIES AND SERVICE PROVIDER TRANSACTIONS

 

On July 2, 2018, the Adviser consummated a transaction pursuant to which it became an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Mirae Asset Global Investments Co., Ltd. (“Mirae”). In this manner, the Adviser is ultimately controlled by Mirae.

 

The Adviser serves as the investment adviser and the administrator for the Funds. Subject to the supervision of the Board, the Adviser is responsible for managing the investment activities of the Funds and the Funds’ business affairs and other administrative matters and provides, or causes to be furnished, all supervisory, administrative and other services

3. RELATED PARTIES AND SERVICE PROVIDER TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

reasonably necessary for the operation of the Funds, including certain distribution services (provided pursuant to a separate distribution agreement), certain shareholder and distribution-related services (provided pursuant to a separate Rule 12b-1 Plan and related agreements) and investment advisory services (provided pursuant to a separate Investment Advisory Agreement), under what is essentially an “all-in” fee structure. For the Adviser’s service to the respective Funds, under a supervision and administration agreement (the “Supervision and Administration Agreement”), each Fund pays a monthly fee to the Adviser at the annual rate below (stated as a percentage of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets) (the “Supervision and Administrative Fee”). In addition, the Funds bear other expenses, directly and indirectly, that are not covered by the Supervision and Administration Agreement, which may vary and affect the total expense ratios of the Funds, such as taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, certain custodian fees, acquired fund fees and other transaction expenses, interest expenses and extraordinary expenses (such as litigation and indemnification expenses).

 

The following table discloses supervision and administration fees payable pursuant to the Supervision and Administration Agreement:

 

  Supervision and
Administration Fee
Global X Silver Miners ETF 0.65%
Global X Copper Miners ETF 0.65%
Global X Gold Explorers ETF 0.65%
Global X Uranium ETF 0.69%

 

SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SEIGFS”) serves as sub-administrator to the Funds. As sub-administrator, SEIGFS provides the Funds with all required general administrative services, including, without limitation: office space, equipment, and personnel; clerical and general back office services; bookkeeping, internal accounting and secretarial services; the calculation of NAV; and assistance with the preparation and filing of reports, registration statements, proxy statements, and other materials required to be filed or furnished by the Funds under federal and state securities laws. As compensation for these services, SEIGFS receives certain out-of-pocket costs, transaction fees, and asset-based fees which are accrued daily and paid monthly by the Adviser.

5. TAX INFORMATION

 

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

 

The differences have been reclassified on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to/from the Paid-in-Capital and Total Earnings (Accumulated Losses) accounts during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025 are primarily attributable to redemptions in-kind and sales of passive foreign investment companies.

 

The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the years ended October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 were as follows:

 

Global X Funds  Ordinary

5. TAX INFORMATION (continued)

 

For taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, a Registered Investment Company within the meaning of the 1940 Act is permitted to carry forward net capital losses to offset capital gains realized in later years, and the losses carried forward retain their original character as either long-term or short-term losses.

 

The Federal tax cost basis of investments and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments held by the Funds at October 31, 2025 were as follows:

 

Global X Funds  Federal Tax
Cost
  Aggregated
Gross
Unrealized
Appreciation
  Aggregated
Gross
Unrealized
Depreciation
  Net Unrealized

Global X Silver Miners ETF  $2,458,073,840  $1,183,550,738  $(134,225,631)  $1,049,325,107
Global X Copper Miners ETF  2,910,602,928  704,764,561  (229,145,280)  475,619,281
Global X Gold Explorers ETF  77,196,388  38,795,950  (4,239,066)  34,556,884
Global X Uranium ETF  4,219,729,114  2,854,007,057  (538,483,449)  2,315,523,608

 

The preceding differences between book and tax cost are primarily due to mark-to-market treatment of passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.

 

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS

 

The Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various 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, the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.

 

The securities markets of emerging market countries are less liquid, 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 as are issuers and securities markets in the United States. 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.

 

The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

October 31, 2025

 

 

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISKS (continued)

 

The Funds use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of an underlying index (also known as a secondary index) in approximately the same proportions as in the underlying index. Each Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to its underlying index when a replication strategy might be detrimental to its shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow its underlying index, or, in certain instances, when securities in the underlying index become temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or due to legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements that apply to a Fund but not its underlying indexes). Commodity related securities are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets.

 

The Funds invest in commodity related securities, which are susceptible to fluctuations in certain commodity markets. Any negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on those securities.

 

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 securities lending agreements with BNY are initially required to be secured by collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). Such collateral received in connection with these loans will be cash and can be invested in repurchase agreements, short-term investments 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 each Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next 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.

 

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements held in the Funds are held by BNY and are designated as being held on each Fund’s behalf under a book-entry system. The Funds monitor the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis and can require the seller to provide additional collateral in the event the market value of the securities pledged falls below the carrying value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. It is each Fund’s policy to only enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other financial institutions which are deemed by the Adviser to be creditworthy. The Funds bear the risk of loss in the event the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligations and the Funds are prevented from exercising their rights to dispose of the underlying securities received as collateral and the risk of a possible decline in the value

7. LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES (continued)

 

of the underlying securities during the period. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral (including in repurchase agreements, at value or restricted cash) as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability- on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 

Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in repurchase agreements and short-term investments by the lending agent. The Funds do not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

 

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under the Securities Lending Agreement, which permits a Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.

 

Income from securities lending is determined by the amount of interest earned on collateral, net of any rebate and securities lending agent fees.

 

The following is a summary of securities on loan by the Funds, with cash collateral of overnight maturities and non-cash collateral, which would be subject to offset as of October 31, 2025.

(1) Collateral and non-cash collateral received in excess of market value of securities on loan is not presented in this table. The total cash collateral received by the Fund is disclosed in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 

The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at October 31, 2025 are shown in the Schedules of Investments. The value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than that required under the lending contract. As of October 31, 2025, the cash collateral was invested in repurchase agreements and the non-cash collateral consisted of

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 (the “Trustees”) and the Trust’s officers are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties.

 

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Trustees of Global X Funds and Shareholders of Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF and Global X Uranium ETF

 

Opinions on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Global X Silver Miners ETF, Global X Copper Miners ETF, Global X Gold Explorers ETF and Global X Uranium ETF (four of the funds constituting Global X Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2025, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2025, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2025 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2025, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2025 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinions

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
