Fund Description
The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes (if any), in the securities of the Solactive Blockchain Index (the "Underlying Index") and in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") based on the securities in the Underlying Index. Solely for purposes of complying with this policy, the Fund only views securities issued by Blockchain Companies (as defined below) as satisfying this criterion. The Fund's 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and requires 60 days prior written notice to shareholders before it can be changed. The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of the Fund’s total assets (including the value of the collateral received).
The Underlying Index is designed to provide exposure to companies that are positioned to benefit from further advances in the field of blockchain technology. A blockchain is a peer-to-peer shared, distributed ledger (or decentralized database) that facilitates the recording of transactions and tracking of assets without the need for the use of a central authority acting as a trusted intermediary (i.e., a bank). Certain users, known as nodes, elect to maintain a copy of the database (“ledger”) on their computer. Nodes connect on a peer-to-peer basis with other nodes, propagating transactions and blocks across the network to be independently verified by other nodes according to the network’s rules. Transactions are aggregated into blocks which record the time and sequence of transactions, like new pages of a ledger. “Blocks” are linked together with the prior block to form a “chain”, or a “blockchain”, which grows linearly in time with the addition of each subsequent block, or page of the ledger. The resulting blockchain is a distributed, time-stamped ledger of information—because the rules for adding information to the
ledger are public, any transactions and new pages of the ledger can be independently verified by any user maintaining a copy of the ledger, resulting in a shared and continually reconciled database. Blockchains may also be private or public networks. A public blockchain network is a publicly available set of rules that anyone can download and run to participate in the network. A private blockchain network is a centralized blockchain that requires an invitation from the originator of the network to participate. Specifically, the Underlying Index will include securities issued by “Blockchain Companies” as defined by Solactive AG, the provider of the Underlying Index (the "Index Provider"). “Blockchain Companies” are those companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues, operating income, or assets from the following business activities:
1.Digital Asset Mining: Companies involved in verifying and adding digital asset transactions to a blockchain ledger (i.e., digital asset mining), or that produce technology used in digital asset mining.
2.Blockchain & Digital Asset Transactions: Companies that operate trading platforms/exchanges, custodians, wallets, and/or payment gateways for digital assets issued on a blockchain.
3.Blockchain Applications: Companies involved in the development and distribution of applications and software services related to blockchain technology and digital assets issued on a blockchain, including smart contracts.
4.Blockchain & Digital Asset Hardware: Companies that manufacture and distribute infrastructure and/or hardware used for blockchain activities and digital assets issued on a blockchain.
5.Blockchain & Digital Asset Integration: Companies that provide engineering and consulting services for the adoption and utilization of blockchain technology and digital assets issued on a blockchain. For purposes of the definition of “Blockchain Companies”, the Index Provider will consider only those revenues, operating income, or assets from consulting and/or engineering services specifically related to blockchain and digital asset technologies.
The Fund will not invest in digital assets (including cryptocurrencies) (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through the use of digital asset derivatives.
In addition, companies identified by the Index Provider as deriving greater than 0% but less than 50% of revenue from the business activities described above ("Diversified Blockchain Companies"), as well as companies identified by the Index Provider as having primary business operations in the business activities described above but that do not currently generate revenues (“Pre-Revenue Blockchain Companies”, are eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index if there are fewer than 25 eligible Blockchain Companies. Diversified Blockchain Companies and Pre-Revenue Blockchain Companies are collectively subject to an aggregate weight cap of 10% at each semi-annual rebalance.
In constructing the Underlying Index, the Index Provider first applies a proprietary natural language processing algorithm to the eligible universe, which seeks to identify and rank companies involved in the blockchain fields based on filings, disclosures and other public information (e.g. regulatory filings, earnings transcripts, etc.). The highest-ranking companies identified by the natural language processing algorithm, as of the selection date, are further reviewed by the Index Provider to confirm they derive at least 50% of their revenues from the business activities described above, greater than 0% of their revenues from the business activities described above in the case of Diversified Blockchain Companies, or that they have primary business operations in the business activities described above but do not currently generate revenues in the case of Pre-Revenue Blockchain Companies.
To be a part of the eligible universe of the Underlying Index, certain minimum market capitalization and liquidity criteria, as defined by the Index Provider, must be met. As of January 31, 2024, companies must have a minimum market capitalization of $50 million and a minimum average daily turnover for the last 3 months greater than or equal to $0.5 million in order to be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index. As of January 31, 2024, companies listed in the following countries were eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.As of January 31, 2024, the Underlying Index had significant exposure to Chinese issuers. The Fund may invest in China A-Shares, which are issued by companies incorporated in mainland China and traded on Chinese exchanges.
The Underlying Index is weighted according to a modified effective market capitalization weighting methodology and is reconstituted and re-weighted semi-annually. Modified effective market capitalization weighting seeks to weight constituents based on market capitalization but accounting for liquidity in determining final weights, and subject to caps on the weights of the individual securities. During each rebalance, the maximum weight of a company is capped at 12%, the aggregate weight of companies with a weight greater than or equal to 4.5% is capped at 45%, and all remaining companies are capped at a weight of 4.5%, and all constituents are subject to a minimum weight of 0.3%. In addition, Diversified Blockchain Companies and Pre-Revenue Blockchain Companies are subject to an individual weight cap of 2% and an aggregate weight cap of 10% at each semi-annual rebalance. Generally speaking, modified effective market capitalization weighting will limit the amount of
concentration in the largest market capitalization companies and increase company-level diversification. The Underlying Index may include large-, mid- or small-capitalization companies, and components primarily include information technology and financials companies. As of January 31, 2024, the Underlying Index had 25 constituents. The Fund's investment objective and Underlying Index may be changed without shareholder approval.
The Underlying Index is sponsored by the Index Provider, which is an organization that is independent of, and unaffiliated with, the Fund and Global X Management Company LLC, the investment adviser for the Fund ("Adviser"). In addition, any determinations related to the constituents of the Underlying Index are made independent of the Fund's portfolio managers. The Index Provider determines the relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index.
The Adviser uses a "passive" or indexing approach to try to achieve the Fund's investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to outperform the Underlying Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued.
The Fund generally will use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index. However, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Underlying Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental or disadvantageous to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to replicate the Underlying Index, in instances in which a security in the Underlying Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund but not the Underlying Index.
The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index, before fees and expenses, will exceed 95%. A correlation percentage of 100% would indicate perfect correlation. If the Fund uses a replication strategy, it can be expected to have greater correlation to the Underlying Index than if it uses a representative sampling strategy.
The Fund concentrates its investments (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated. As of January 31, 2024, the Underlying Index was concentrated in the software industry and had significant exposure to the financials and information technology sectors. The Fund is classified as "non-diversified," which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.
