GLOBAL X ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT FEE REBATE TO 0% FOR ENHANCED GROWTH ETF SUITE

TORONTO, Aug. 1, 2024 /CNW/ - Global X Investments Canada Inc. ("Global X") is pleased to announce rebates (the "Rebates") on the annual management fees on each of the ETFs within its suite of Enhanced Growth ETFs (the "Rebated ETFs" or the "Enhanced Growth ETFs"), effective today.

The effective annual management fee for each of the Rebated ETFs for the remainder of the calendar year ending December 31, 2024, will be zero basis points (0.00%), plus applicable sales taxes.

The Rebated ETFs are still subject to operating expenses, including the costs of leverage, which are included in the Management Expense Ratio ("MER") and are still subject to trading costs which are included in the Trading Expense Ratio ("TER").

The Rebated ETFs are further described in the table below:

ETF Name	Ticker	Index Exposure	Management Fee before rebate*	Effective Management Fee until December 31, 2024*
Global X Enhanced S&P/TSX 60 Index ETF	CANL	S&P/TSX 60™ Index	0.35 %	0.00 %

*Plus applicable sales tax

The Rebated ETFs are part of Global X's suite of Enhanced Growth ETFs, which include funds that use leverage, a strategy that can potentially magnify both gains and losses. These Enhanced Growth ETFs aim to generate approximately 1.25x the return of their underlying index. 

To do this, each of the Enhanced Growth ETFs creates leverage using cash borrowing and invests, on a leveraged basis, in a related ETF managed by Global X. To ensure risk is limited to the capital invested, each of the Enhanced Growth ETFs is regularly monitored and seeks to maintain a leverage ratio of approximately 125%, or 1.25x, of its net asset value ("NAV").

"Light leverage is an increasingly popular strategy that can make sense for investors seeking to achieve or accelerate their journey towards their investing goals," said Rohit Mehta, President & CEO of Global X. "That's why we built our Enhanced Growth ETF suite – to offer Canadians more choice for investing in some of the world's most popular indices and the ability to amplify that exposure for greater effect. With the added benefit of this management fee rebate, that light leverage can go even further."

The Rebates are effective August 1, 2024.  For more information on the Global X family of Enhanced Growth ETFs, investors can visit www.GlobalX.ca/Enhanced-Growth-ETFs.

Each of the Enhanced ETFs are alternative investment fund ("Alternative ETFs") within the meaning of the National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds ("NI 81-102") and are permitted to use strategies generally prohibited by conventional mutual funds, such as the ability to invest more than 10% of their net asset value in securities of a single issuer, the ability to borrow cash, to short sell beyond the limits prescribed for conventional mutual funds and to employ leverage of up to 300% of net asset value. While these strategies will only be used in accordance with the investment objectives and strategies of the Alternative ETFs, during certain market conditions they may accelerate the risk that an investment in ETF Shares of such Alternative ETF decreases in value. The Alternative ETFs will comply with all requirements of NI 81-102, as such requirements may be modified by exemptive relief obtained on behalf of the ETF.
