Important Information

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 HSCEI Covered Call Active ETF (the “Funds”) is to generate income by primarily investing in constituent equity securities in the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (the “Reference Index”) and selling (i.e. “writing”) call options on the Reference Indexes respectively to receive payments of money from the purchaser of call options (i.e. “premium”).
  • If the value of the securities relating to the Reference Index held by the Fund declines, the premium that the Fund received for writing the Reference Index Call Option may reduce such loss to some extent. However, the downside of adopting a covered call strategy is that the Fund’s opportunity to profit from an increase in the level of the Reference Index is limited to the strike price of the Reference Index Call Options written, plus the premium received.
  • The market value of an Reference Index Call Option may be affected by factors including supply and demand, interest rates. The Fund’s ability to utilise Reference Index Call Options successfully will depend on the ability of the Manager to correctly predict future price fluctuations.If an Reference Index Call Option expires and if there is a decline in the market value of the Reference Index during the option period, the premiums received by the Fund from writing the Reference Index Call Options may not be sufficient to offset the loss realised.
  • The Reference Index Call Options in the OTC markets may not be as liquid as exchange-listed options. The Fund may find the terms of counterparties in the OTC markets to be less favorable than the terms available for listed options. Moreover, the SEHK may suspend the trading of options in volatile markets which may casue the Fund unable to write Reference Index Call Options at times
  • The use of futures contracts involves market risk, volatility risk, leverage risk and negative roll yields and “contango” risk.
  • Investing in Reference Index Futures and writing Reference Index Call Options generally involve the posting of margin. If the Fund is unable to meet its investment objective as a result of margin requirements imposed by the HKFE, the Fund may experience significant losses.
  • The Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy. The Fund may fail to meet its objective as a result of the implementation of investment process which may cause the Fund to underperform as compared to direct investments in the constituent equity securities of the Reference Index.
  • The Fund is exposed to concentration risk by tracking a specific regions or countries.
  • To the extent that the constituent securities of Reference Index are concentrated in securities of a particular sector or market, the investments of it may be similarly concentrated.
  • 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.

  • Risks associated with tokenised class(es) of Shares include, but are not limited to: Blockchain technology risk, Token security risk, Cybersecurity risk, Delay risk, Dependence on service providers, Regulatory risk, Potential challenges in application of existing laws, Operational and technical risk, and Risk associated with virtual asset trading platforms (as distributors).

First Tokenized Fund for Global X ETF

By: Global X HK ETF Research

The First Tokenized Fund by Mirae Asset Global Investments

On August 27, 2026, Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) has officially launched a tokenized share class for the Global X HSCEI Covered Call Active ETF (3416 HK), marking a milestone in bridging traditional finance with Web3 innovation.

The underlying asset tracks a Hong Kong index-based covered call strategy, aiming to deliver a monthly distribution (Dividend rate is not guaranteed, distributions may be made out of capital). It allows virtual asset investors to fully deploy idle capital sitting in their digital wallets.

Developed in collaboration with OSL Group, a SFC-licensed virtual asset trading platform (VATP), the fund enables seamless on-chain primary market subscriptions and redemptions.

Owing to the evolving regulatory environment, a VATP-listed share class to allow secondary market trading is not yet available. Mirae Asset Global Investments (Hong Kong) plans to introduce this share class upon receiving regulatory approval in due course.

Below are the basic information and introduction to the tokenised fund.

Tokenisation structure

BC Technology Hong Kong Limited (a subsidiary of OSL Group) serves as the tokenization provider, utilizing the public Ethereum blockchain to establish a permissioned digital platform for tokenized Class M1 shares of Global X HSCEI Covered Call Active ETF.

Investors can only subscribe to or redeem shares via licensed Qualified Distributors acting as nominees. Our current eligible distributor is OSL Group. To ensure compliance on a public chain, the platform enforces “whitelisting” and multi-signature controls to restrict transactions to pre-approved participants; while tokenized shares carry identical rights to non-tokenized shares, peer-to-peer (P2P) secondary trading is currently prohibited.

Ownership Settlement & Reconciliation Mechanism

Although share representation and transaction logs are recorded on-chain via tokens, cash settlement and the official direct shareholding register (maintained by the Transfer Agent, Citicorp Financial Services) remain off-chain, strictly defining ultimate legal ownership. Daily reconciliations are conducted between the Transfer Agent’s off-chain register and the provider’s on-chain token records; in the event of any discrepancy, the off-chain register prevails, and the provider will resolve mismatches by appending corrective instructions on the blockchain.

Procedure of Subscription and Minting

Procedure of Redemption and Burning

Advantages of Tokenized Fund

  • Higher Operational Efficiency: Automates key processes like subscriptions, redemptions, and distributions via smart contracts, replacing manual workflows and reducing traditional T+2/3 settlement cycles to intraday or near-instant settlement.
  • Enables fractional ownership by splitting high-barrier fund shares into smaller digital units, lowering entry thresholds for investors and unlocking secondary market liquidity for illiquid assets like private credit and equity.
  • Using blockchain technology eliminates international payment barriers, making it easy to raise money from global institutions and crypto-native investors.

Key Risks of tokenized Fund

  • Smart Contract and Technical Vulnerabilities: Exploits in smart contract code, private key compromises, or protocol bugs on the underlying blockchain can result in asset loss, unauthorized token minting/burning, or prolonged operational outages.
  • System Misalignment (On-Chain vs. Off-Chain): When legal ownership remains tied to an off-chain registrar, discrepancies between real-time on-chain token state and off-chain official records can create operational friction, delayed settlements, and reconciliation disputes.
  • Regulatory Uncertainty & Compliance Risks: Unclear or fragmented global regulatory frameworks regarding digital assets and on-chain ownership finality expose issuers to legal ambiguity, shifting compliance requirements, and cross-border jurisdictional hurdles.
