HSH Global X S&P 500 CAD Hedged Index Corporate Class ETF

TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2024 /CNW/ - Global X Investments Canada Inc. ("Global X" or the "Manager") announced today that the swap costs payable by certain corporate class index exchange traded funds (the "ETFs") it manages are changing effective January 1, 2025, as indicated in the table below. These swap costs, payable to an ETF's bank counterparty or counterparties, as applicable, are increasing because of changing swap market conditions.

Currently, each ETF pays to its counterparty or counterparties, monthly in arrears, a net amount equal to no more than a percentage per annum of the notional value of the Swap calculated and applied daily in arrears as set out in the table below (the "Swap Costs") in the "Current Swap Costs" column. It is currently expected that, effective January 1, 2025, the Swap Costs of each ETF will increase as follows:

As disclosed in the prospectus of the ETFs, Swap Costs incurred by an ETF are not fixed, and may increase, decrease, or in the case of the termination of an ETF's Swap or Swaps, be eliminated. Also as disclosed in the prospectus of the ETFs, Global X Canadian Select Universe Bond Index Corporate Class ETF and Global X US 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Index Corporate Class ETF may incur hedging costs. 

There are no changes to the management fees of the ETFs as a result of these changes. For greater certainty, there is no increase in any amounts payable by the ETFs to Global X, the Manager of the ETFs, in connection with the Swap Costs increase. The increased Swap Costs will be reflected in the Trading Expense Ratios ("TER") of the ETFs.

Additional information regarding the increased Swap Costs is or will be made available in a prospectus amendment on the Manager's website, www.globalx.ca, and on www.sedarplus.ca.
