What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The Global X S&P 500 Covered Call ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, generally correspond to the performance of the Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (the "Underlying Index").

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite Index, which holds all 500 stocks of the S&P 500 and systematically writes at-the-money call options on the index monthly, collecting option premiums to supplement returns. The premiums cushion losses when markets decline but cap gains when the market rallies sharply, so the fund is expected to underperform the S&P 500 during strong upswings. The fund uses representative sampling to track the index and may hold underlying ETFs as a substantial portion of assets.

What the fund is made of

Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

Derivatives-1.92%

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Volatility over the last 12 months: 5.65%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.

Jun 2026 and Jul 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
