MLCC & Electronic Components ETF
The Fund is positioned to complement AI investment strategies by providing targeted exposure to the MLCC and passive component manufacturers that anchor the AI hardware supply chain. This concentrated approach may fill a structural gap in broad equity portfolios, where companies powering the AI ecosystem remain underrepresented relative to their strategic role.
As demand for MLCCs accelerates alongside AI adoption, the Fund offers a differentiated way to access the fast-growing, hard-to-reach corner of the market that may scale alongside accelerating AI demand — including holdings trading on foreign listings that may not be available on U.S. markets.
MLCCs are the tiny capacitors powering virtually every device. As AI and electrification accelerate demand, MLCC delivers targeted exposure to this critical, fast-growing layer of the hardware supply chain.
The Fund targets an under-represented link in the tech value chain: a bottleneck where MLCC demand tied to AI servers is projected to rise nearly 4.3x from 2025 to 2030, while global supply stays consolidated among a handful of manufacturers.1
MLCC offers investors access to hard-to-reach Asian companies, undiluted by unrelated holdings, with active management allowing newly listed companies to be included as the industry scales — all through a familiar ETF structure.

The Global X MLCC & Electronic Components ETF (MLCC) is an actively managed ETF that seeks to provide targeted exposure to the companies driving the production and supply of multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and passive electronic components, critical building blocks of AI infrastructure. From the design, production, and supply of MLCCs, capacitors, chip resistors, inductors, and other essential electronic components. Through active management, the Fund seeks to navigate the access barriers inherent in these markets, delivering efficient exposure to the global leaders supplying the passive components that make modern technology possible.
The Global X MLCC & Electronic Components ETF ("Fund") seeks to achieve capital appreciation. The Fund is an actively managed fund that seeks to invest in companies leading the multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) and passive electronic components market.
The Fund considers companies across Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, with eligibility requiring that a company derive at least 50% of its revenue from MLCCs and components or rank among the top 3 capacitor manufacturers globally. The Fund includes these companies and, where direct investment may be impractical given the access barriers unique to these regions, may gain exposure through derivative instruments designed to replicate the economic performance of those securities without holding them directly.

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.
