MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF
MLPA invests in some of the largest and most liquid midstream Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), providing exposure to companies involved in the transportation, storage, and processing of energy commodities.
LNGX seeks to provide exposure to U.S. companies with exposure to the Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) value chain, including those engaged in the exploration, production, and initial processing of Natural Gas and NGLs, as well as transportation, storage, processing, and liquefaction infrastructure for export.
EART seeks to invest in companies producing rare earth components, metals, and other critical materials essential to the expansion of technologies such as electric vehicles, energy storage, robotics, and radar systems.
MLPX can complement traditional energy equity allocations by providing targeted exposure to midstream infrastructure entities—rather than upstream producers or integrated majors—whose cash flows are less sensitive to commodity prices.
As the architecture of North American energy logistics evolves, MLPX has the potential to serve as a vehicle to access the midstream ecosystem, potentially positioning portfolios for future trends in America’s energy infrastructure.
Unlike traditional MLP funds, MLPX avoids fund level taxes by limiting direct MLP exposure and investing in similar entities, such as the General Partners of MLPs and other energy infrastructure corporations.
MLPX invests in midstream infrastructure entities such as pipelines and storage facilities that have less sensitivity to energy prices.
MLPX invests in MLPs and other energy infrastructure companies, which may result in above-average yields while offering broader midstream sector exposure than comparable MLP-only funds.

The Premium/Discount chart demonstrates the difference between the daily market price of shares of the Fund and the Fund's net asset value (NAV). The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount of the daily market price as a percentage of the NAV. The horizontal axis shows each trading day in the time period, and each data point in the chart represents the Premium/Discount on that day. The data presented in the chart and table above represent past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
The primary explanation is that timing discrepancies can arise between the NAV and the trading price of the Fund. Since shares of the Fund trade on the open market, prices are affected by the constant flow of information received by investors, corporations and financial institutions. Depending on how this changing information affects investor sentiment, shares of the Fund may deviate slightly from the value of the Fund's underlying assets. The NAV of the Fund is only calculated once a day (normally at 4:00 p.m. eastern time). As a result, shareholders may pay more than NAV when they buy Fund shares and receive less than NAV when they sell those shares, because shares are purchased and sold at current market prices. However, due to the creation and redemption process that is unique to ETFs, market makers are able to minimize these deviations from NAV by taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities.
Close of Trading Times. Although both the NAV and the daily market price of the Fund are generally calculated based on prices at the closing time of the exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time), slight differences in this timing may cause discrepancies.
Time of Last Trade. Trading of Global X funds generally takes place during normal trading hours (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. eastern time). However, it is important to note that the last trade - from which the closing price is determined - may not occur at exactly 4:00 p.m. eastern time. Therefore, changing market sentiment during the time difference may cause the NAV to deviate from the closing price.
International Holdings. The premiums and discounts for funds with significant holdings in international markets may be less accurate due to the different closing times of various international markets. Because the Funds trade during U.S. market hours while the underlying securities may not, the time lapse between the markets can result in differences between the NAV and the trading price.
