Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q1
The Global X Defense Tech ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Global X Defense Tech Index ("Underlying Index").
The fund tracks the Global X Defense Tech Index using a replication strategy, holding securities of companies that derive at least 50% of revenues from defense technology, cybersecurity, advanced military systems, or related defense applications across eligible global markets. The fund is non-diversified and may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Because the fund may use representative sampling when replication is impractical, its performance may diverge from the index.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
One month is blank because the fund did not report it — not because it was flat. A cumulative figure is not shown for this class: compounding across an unreported month would treat it as flat and invent a return.
May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
