Fluctuations in the business for companies in these sectors will have an adverse impact on the Net Asset Value of the Fund.
- The Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy. The Fund does not seek to track any index or benchmark, and there is no replication or representative sampling conducted by the Manager. It may fail to meet its objective as a result of the Manager’s selection of investments, and/or the implementation of processes which may cause the Fund to underperform as compared to other index tracking funds with a similar objective.
- 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 and economic conditions and issuer-specific factors.
- There is no industry sector requirement and the Fund may from time to time concentrate in a particular sector. The performance of the Fund may be exposed to risks associated with different sectors and themes, including but not limited to industrial, consumer discretionary, financial services including fintech, information technology, semiconductor, communication services, entertainment, and healthcare. The Fund may experience relatively higher volatility in price performance when compared to other economic sectors.
- Securities lending transactions may involve the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities lent out in a timely manner or at all. The Fund may as a result suffer from a loss or delay when recovering the securities lent out. This may restrict the Fund’s ability in meeting delivery or payment obligations from redemption requests.
- Investors should note that Unitholders will only receive distributions in USD and not HKD. In the event the relevant Unitholder has no USD account, the Unitholder may have to bear the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such distribution from USD into HKD or any other currency.
- Payments of distributions out of capital and/or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distributions involving payment of dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital of the Fund may result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per Unit of the Fund and will reduce the capital available for future investment.
- The trading price of the Listed Class of Units on the SEHK is driven by market factors such as the demand for and supply of the Listed Class of Units. Therefore, the Listed Class of Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s Net Asset Value.

Risks associated with FDIs include counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and over-the-counter transaction risk. FDIs are susceptible to price fluctuations and higher volatility, and may have large bid and offer spreads and no active secondary markets. The leverage element/component of an FDI can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the FDI by the Fund.
- Global X Electric Vehicle and Battery Active ETF (the “Fund”) invests in equity to achieve long term capital growth by primarily investing in companies which are directly or indirectly involved in electric vehicle or electric vehicle-related battery businesses.
- The Fund employs an actively managed investment strategy and does not seek to track any index or benchmark. It may fail to meet its objective as a result of the Manager’s selection of investments, and/or the implementation of processes which may cause the Fund to underperform as compared to other index tracking funds with a similar objective.
- The Fund’s investments are concentrated in companies involved in the EV/Battery Business, which may experience relatively higher volatility in price performance when compared to other economic sectors. The value of the Fund may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the relevant sector.
- Electric vehicle companies and electric vehicle-related battery companies invest heavily in research and development which may not necessarily lead to commercially successful products. In addition, the prospects of electric vehicle companies and electric vehicle-related battery companies may be significantly impacted by technological changes, changing government regulations and intense competition from competitors.
- Investors should note that Unitholders will only receive distributions in USD and not HKD. In the event the relevant Unitholder has no USD account, the Unitholder may have to bear the fees and charges associated with the conversion of such distribution from USD into HKD or any other currency.
- Dividends may be paid from capital or effectively out of capital of the Fund, which may amount to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment and result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per Unit of the Fund.
- The trading price of the Fund unit (the “Unit”) on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong is driven by market factors such as demand and supply of the Unit. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value.
- The Fund’s synthetic replication strategy will involve investing up to 50% of its net asset value in financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”), mainly funded total return swap transaction(s) through one or more counterparty(ies). Risks associated with FDIs include counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and over-the-counter transaction risk.

Industry Update
China and Europe EV sales are both much better than feared YTD: China PV wholesales ended at 9.67mn units, +11.5%YoY as of May 2025, in which xEV wholesale was 3.72mn units, +40%YoY. BEV and PHEV accounted for 60.5% and 30% of the total xEV sales, growing faster than EREV. BYD is in line with market growth, while Geely, Leapmotor, Xpeng, Xiaomi and Chang’an are gaining market share. Europe BEV and PHEV sales grew by 26.6%YoY and 20.8%YoY to 930k units in total as of May 2025, respectively. Sales rose across most markets (Germany, UK, Spain, Italy, etc.), driven by more affordable xEV models and a low base last year. For example, VW ID3 has been adopted with BYD’s LFP battery and the new base price cut to below EUR29,760 since September 2024 in Europe, which is slightly higher than the Golf’s starting price of EUR28,330 and becoming the most popular xEV model in EU-28, helping VW gain market shares in Europe in 5M25. It could also be a good sign of Chinese battery penetrating in Europe amid the controversy. In the US, xEV sales peaked out in January, due to weak Tesla sales and promotions from HEV brands. Additionally, people start to question on the potential market size of xEV in the US as Trump administration is in strong favor of boosting oil production and reducing subsidies on xEV sales.
Stock Comments
NVIDIA Corporation: The company’s quarterly results beat street expectation. Management indicates the pace of rack shipment is improving. Multiple customers are taking 1k racks per week. GB300 sampling began in May and production shipment will come later this quarter.
Geely Automobile Holdings Limited: BYD announced deep pricing discounts for most of their car models on May 23rd. Auto-related loans are marginally decelerating recently. More automakers released their new models. Hence, investors are worried about price war and Geely’s earnings growth in 2H2.
Preview
We remain constructive on China EV and battery sales in 2025 despite sales a little bit slowdown in June, as it is an important vehicle for China government to boost economy in the near term and reduce the dependency on oil imports from the long-term perspectives. We are positive on some leading companies who are continuously working on technology innovation, making strategic self-help efforts and gaining market share globally in spite of protectionism.
