Fund Description
The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of the Cboe S&P 500 Tail Risk Index ("Underlying Index"). The Fund's 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and requires 60 days prior written notice to shareholders before it can be changed.
The Underlying Index measures the performance of a risk management strategy that holds the underlying stocks of the S&P 500® Index and applies a protective put strategy (i.e. long (purchased) put options) on the S&P 500® Index. The Underlying Index specifically reflects the performance of the component securities of the S&P 500® Index, combined with a long position in 10% out-of-the-money (“OTM”) put options that correspond to the value of the portfolio of stocks in the S&P 500® Index. The implications of the long put option are described in more detail here:
Put Options - When an investor purchases a put option, the investor pays an amount (premium) to acquire the right (but not the obligation) to sell shares of a reference asset at a specified exercise (“strike”) price on the expiration date. If the reference asset closes below the strike price as of the expiration date and the investor exercises the put option, the investor will be entitled to receive the difference between the value of the reference asset and the strike price. If the reference asset closes above the strike price as of the expiration date, the put option may end up worthless and the investor’s loss is limited to the amount of premium it paid.
On a quarterly basis, the Underlying Index will take long positions in quarterly put options with an exercise price generally at 10% below the prevailing market price of the S&P 500® Index. However, if put options with that precise strike price are unavailable, the Underlying Index will instead select the put option with the strike price closest to but greater than 10% below the prevailing market price of the S&P 500® Index. Each option position will (i) be traded on a national securities exchange; (ii) be held until the expiration date; (iii) expire on its date of maturity (in the next calendar quarter); (iv) only be subject to exercise on its expiration date; and (v) be settled in cash.
The S&P 500® Index is a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index containing equity securities of 500 industrial, information technology, utility and financial companies amongst other GICS® sectors, regarded as generally representative of the U.S. stock market. A float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index weights each index component according to its market capitalization, using the number of shares that are readily available for purchase on the open market. The Fund's investment objective and Underlying Index may be changed without shareholder approval.
The Underlying Index is sponsored by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (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 or designates a third-party index calculation agent to publish 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. By purchasing put options on the value of the portfolio of stocks in the S&P 500® Index, the Fund’s protective put strategy may protect the Fund from a significant decline in the price of the S&P 500® Index, if the put options become in the money. If the value of the S&P 500® Index is below the strike price of the Fund’s put options positions upon the expiration of the put option, then at expiration the put will be worth the difference between the strike price and the value of the S&P 500® Index, so the value of the put option would protect the Fund from further losses below the strike price of the put. For example, if the S&P 500® Index were to fall by 15% from the time the put option was purchased to the time the put option expired, then the put option would be expected to have a value equal to approximately 5% of the value the portfolio had at the time when the put option was purchased, which would limit the Fund’s loss from the decrease in the S&P 500® Index over the relevant period to 10%. The level of protection the Fund provides from declines in the price of the S&P 500® Index during the period a given put option contract is held will vary depending on the relative difference between the strike price of the Fund’s put option position and the price of the S&P 500® Index. However, if the S&P 500® Index does not fall below the strike price of the purchased put option during the time the put option is held, then the put option will expire worthless, and the Fund’s strategy will underperform the S&P 500® Index during this time period due to the cost of purchasing the put options. An investor that purchases Fund shares other than on the day that the Fund takes long positions in quarterly put options, or who sells shares other than on the day that the put option expires, may experience different investment returns, depending on the relative difference between the strike price of the Fund’s put options positions and the price of the S&P 500® Index.
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 to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to follow 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 December 31, 2023, the Underlying Index had significant exposure to the information technology sector.
