Data Center & Digital Infrastructure ETF
AIQ seeks to invest in companies that stand to benefit from the further development and use of artificial intelligence in their products and services, as well as those providing the hardware that facilitates AI for big data analysis, spanning the AI ecosystem from developers to enablers.
CHPX seeks to invest in companies positioned to benefit from the growth and advancement of the AI semiconductor and quantum computing ecosystems, including those designing and manufacturing AI-specific chips, AI-focused compute systems and data center infrastructure, and quantum computing technologies.
BOTZ seeks to invest in companies that stand to benefit from increased adoption of robotics and AI, including those involved with industrial robotics and automation, non-industrial robots, and autonomous vehicles, spanning the robotics and AI ecosystem from hardware and systems to applications.
DTCR may complement technology allocations with targeted exposure to the digital infrastructure ecosystem—data centers, cellular towers, and hardware forming the backbone of AI computing. Where equity portfolios may underrepresent the specialized operators powering this buildout, DTCR may offer a concentrated way to access companies that may benefit from tight capacity and rising pricing power.
As data centers evolve into the utilities of the AI age, DTCR may help position portfolios for the multi-decade infrastructure expansion now unfolding.
Global data center revenues are expected to increase from a projected $483B in 2025 to $756B in 2030 to support the growth of Generative AI, Mobile Connectivity, Smart Grids, and other tech-based infrastructure.1
Generative AI adoption is rapidly expanding, creating a need for data processing. Accelerated development of AI-tuned digital infrastructure may be necessary to support this growth.
Digital infrastructure spans multiple segments, with innovative companies including household names and newcomers. DTCR invests accordingly, without regard for sector or geography.

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.
