Global X Select ETFs – February 2026
Global X HSCEI Covered Call Active ETF (3416): Longer Track Record And Better Capital Preservation
Hong Kong market has a volatile start in 2026. After a subdued 4Q25, Hong Kong/China A market had a strong start with a clear style rotation from value/defensive into growth/momentum. Notably, Metals and AI value chain led the gains on the back of favourable supply-demand cycles. However, following a substantial rally, precious metal market recorded historic plunge after US President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve. The nomination is expected to boost dollar and undercut sentiment among investors who had bet on Trump’s willingness to let the currency weaken, which led to Gold sell off. Hong Kong market, especially Tech stocks, are also impacted as a result of changes investor sentiments and investor profit taking. Market is likely to remain volatile in the rest of 1Q as we approach 4Q results season, Chinese New Year in Feb and China’s Two Sessions in March. Covered Call ETFs remain essential building blocks for investor portfolios to navigate market volatility.
For investors in Covered Call ETFs, the primary income source typically comes from monthly dividend distributions. However, it is crucial for investors to remain attentive to price fluctuations (NAV). As the first covered call ETF listed in Hong Kong, we highlight the longer track record, good capital preservation alongside the attractive dividend yield for 3416 HK – the ETF recorded 18.13% dividend return and 0.31% price return in 2025. (Source: Bloomberg. Based on NAV, assume dividend reinvestment)
Global X Hang Seng High Dividend Yield ETF (3110): Long Term Outperformer With High Trading Volume
The Global X Hang Seng High Dividend Yield ETF (3110) is one of the most actively traded Global X HK ETFs, consistently delivering resilient performance across various market cycles. During the market correction in Q4 2025 and the volatile start to January 2026, the underlying Hang Seng High Dividend Yield Index (HSHDYI) of the 3110 HK demonstrated significant outperformance compared to the Hang Seng Index, owing to its superior defensiveness. This trend of outperformance holds true even when we extend the timeframe to the past decade. The effectiveness of high dividend strategy in Hong Kong market is supported by the low valuation and solid cash flow of listed companies.
Recent nomination of next Chair of the Federal Reserve and the subsequent correction of precious metal prices and tech stock prices also introduced substantial uncertainty to the Hong Kong market, and 3110 HK offers better defensiveness to investors’ portfolios for its combination of elevated dividend yields and reduced volatility. High dividend strategy is also a key beneficiary for China’s forceful stimulus package and policy supports. PBOC’s Relending facility should boost corporate buyback, and Capital Market ‘Nine Measures’ issued by Central Government also promotes corporate dividend payout.
Global X China Semiconductor ETF (3191): Strong Investor Interests, With Structural Growth Driver
The strong performance of China semiconductor has garnered substantial investor interests in the sector, as evidenced by the heighted trading volume of the ETF. Global X China Semiconductor ETF (3191) remains a unique product listed in Hong Kong market that tracks the performance of China’s Semiconductor value chain.
With technological self-reliance reaffirmed as a key focus of the 15th FYP, China’s journey towards semiconductor localization represents a long-term structural growth opportunity. The semiconductor landscape in China is growing more robust, with a number of fabless companies specializing in AI accelerator design successfully listed and gained substantial investor interests. Additionally, AI model providers Zhipu AI and MiniMax also successfully listed in Hong Kong market, making them the world’s first publicly listed large language model (LLM) start-ups.
China’s semiconductor industry is positioned for further structural growth ahead, driven by two key catalysts. First, the low localization rate is set to rise, supported by persistent government backing and ongoing U.S.-China tech tensions. Second, the rapid development of cutting-edge AI models and applications within China is fueling a surge in domestic demand for AI compute, energizing the entire hardware supply chain.
Global X China Robotics and AI ETF (2807): Humanoid Robots And Robotaxis Continue To Gain Investor Interests. Booming Exports Are Supporting Industrial Automation.
Recent developments of Robotaxi and Humanoid Robots in China and the US have sparked increased investor interest in the sector. Albeit still at early stage, Chinese Robotaxi operators are ramping up commercialization with expanding fleet size and improving unit economics. Humanoid robot integrators recorded substantial growth in orders in 2H25, with downstream applications across industrials, commercial services, and data collection centers. For industrial robots, domestic share gains (esp. in high-end category with higher margin) and overseas market expansion are key themes to drive growth. Global X China Robotics and AI ETF (2807) helps investors to capitalize on long-term growth opportunities through offering direct exposure to these themes.
Global X Asia Semiconductor ETF (3119): Unique Product With Meaningful Exposure To Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix And TSMC (>40% Combined)
Continued strong HBM Demand driving prolonged memory cycle: As HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) is a critical component in both general-purpose and custom chips, SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics are expected to continue to benefit. In late January, both companies posted strong 4Q25 results on the back of strong ASP growth. The continuous increase in pricing could lead to an unprecedented margin level for memory chip leaders, further bolstering the sector sentiments.
AI will remain a key investment theme across global market in 2026. Compared to US AI-value chain which appeared to be somewhat overvalued, Asian companies in the semiconductor supply chain, primarily in manufacturing (foundries and memory), offer relatively attractive valuations because their growth drivers are not tied to specific model competition but rather are more diversified.
Global X Asia Semiconductor ETF (3119) is a unique product that focuses on assigning roles to each Asian regions in a portfolio encompassing the entire semiconductor supply chain. Semiconductors are a broad value chain industry spanning design, etching, and packaging, and no single region can monopolize this sector. This ETF leverages each region’s unique strengths to further diversify the portfolio. Top 3 holdings are SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and TSMC, with a combined weighting of over 40%.
Global X S&P 500 Covered Call Active ETF (3415): Navigating USD Uncertainty And US Market Volatility
In the past week, US market volatility is high due to a number of uncertain events: 1) The appointment of Kevin Warsh as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve initially led to a hawkish perception in the financial markets. This resulted in rising treasury rates, a strengthened USD, a decline in precious metal prices, and a drop in stock futures; 2) Following its quarterly results, Microsoft’s stock price plummeted by over 10% due to decelerating cloud revenue growth coupled with significant AI capital expenditures. This scenario has raised concerns regarding the ROI of the AI capital expenditure; 3) US Software stocks also drop substantially, as investors are increasingly concerned that AI competitors and automation tools could erode demand for traditional software licenses and workflows. On the bright side, AI is significantly enhancing productivity and driving positive outcomes. For instance, Meta reported a robust quarter, attributing its substantial advertising revenue growth throughout the year to investments in AI technologies. Anticipating volatility in the US market in 2026, we recommend that investors consider positioning themselves through a Covered Call ETF. This strategy not only helps to mitigate volatility but also enhances income generation for investors.
