ORBX

SHLD seeks to invest in companies positioned to benefit from the increased adoption of defense technology, including those building cybersecurity systems, leveraging artificial intelligence and big data, and developing advanced military systems and hardware such as robotics, fuel systems, and aircraft for defense applications.

BUG seeks to invest in companies that stand to benefit from the increased adoption of cybersecurity technology, including those developing and managing security protocols that prevent intrusion and attacks across systems, networks, applications, computers, and mobile devices.

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.

ORBX can complement traditional aerospace and defense allocations by delivering targeted exposure to the space technology value chain, rather than exposure to broad aerospace conglomerates or generalist space economy strategies.

This differentiated approach can help fill a gap in broad equity allocations, where companies driving the commercialization of space may be underrepresented, while offering exposure to both near-term, commercially proven segments like satellite internet and longer-duration growth opportunities such as orbital computing. As these segments converge, we believe the space economy is positioned to scale.

The space economy is expanding from government-led exploration to a generation of public companies driving commercial growth and unlocking a new economic opportunity. 
 

ORBX invests in companies powering the growing space economy—unlocking new opportunities across launch systems, space infrastructure, and next-gen space technologies.
 

Built on Global X’s thematic investing expertise, ORBX delivers a pure-play approach across the space value chain, offering differentiated exposure to a rapidly emerging investment theme.

The financial statements include the Fund's disclosures required by Items 7 through 11 of Form N-CSR, which includes the financial statements, financial highlights, and other important information when applicable.

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.
