Investors should not base investment decisions on this material alone. Please refer to the Prospectus for details including the product features and the risk factors. Investment involves risks. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. There is no guarantee of the repayment of the principal. Investors should note:
- The investment objective of Global X Innovative Finance ETF (the “Fund”) is to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the Indxx Global NextGen Finance Index (net total return).
- The Fund’s investment in equity securities is subject to general market risks, whose value may fluctuate due to various factors, such as changes in investment sentiment, political, geopolitical and economic conditions and issuer-specific factors.
- The Fund may invest in small and/or mid-sized companies, which may have lower liquidity and their prices are more volatile to adverse economic developments.
- The number of constituents of the Index is limited to 30, and because the Index is concentrated in the sector involving technology-driven financial services or development of decentralized finance infrastructure, the performance of the Index may be more volatile when compared to other broad-based stock indices.
- Investors should note that Shareholders will only receive distributions in USD and not HKD, Shareholder may have to bear the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such distribution from USD into HKD or any other currency.
- Companies that are offering technology-driven financial services or developing decentralized finance infrastructure (“NextGen Finance companies”) may be adversely impacted by government regulations, economic conditions, and cybersecurity attacks.
- Platforms involved in virtual assets and alternative currencies may face slow adoption rates and be subject to higher levels of regulatory scrutiny in the future; NextGen Finance companies tend to be more volatile than companies that do not rely heavily on technology, and there is no assurance that the business model of these companies will be sustainable in the long run.
- The trading price of the Fund’s unit on the SEHK is driven by secondary market trading factors, which may lead to a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value.
- The Manager may at its discretion pay dividends out of the capital of the Fund. Distributions paid out of capital, represent a return of an investor’s original investment or its gains and may potentially reduce the Fund’s Net Asset Value per Share as well as the capital available for future investment.
- The Fund may suffer from a losses or delays when recovering the securities lent out. This may potentially affect its ability to meet payment and redemption obligations. Collateral shortfalls due to inaccurate pricing or change of value of securities lent, may cause significant losses to the Fund.
