Objective and investment strategy
Objective
The Sub-Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before deduction of fees and expenses, closely
correspond to the performance of the Hang Seng TECH Index (“Underlying Index”).
Strategy
The Manager intends to primarily adopt a full replication strategy through investing all, or substantially all, of the assetsof the Sub-Fund directly in securities constituting the Underlying Index in substantially the same weightings as thesesecurities have in the Underlying Index to achieve the investment objective of the Sub-Fund (“Replication Strategy”).
Where the adoption of the Replication Strategy is not efficient or practicable or is otherwise at the Manager's absolute
discretion, the Manager may pursue a representative sampling strategy and hold a representative sample of theconstituent securities of the Underlying Index selected by the Manager using quantitative analytical models to derive a
portfolio sample (“Representative Sampling Strategy”). In pursuing the Representative Sampling Strategy, theManager may cause the Sub-Fund to deviate from the Underlying Index weighting on the condition that the maximum
deviation from the Underlying Index weighting of any constituent will not exceed 3 percentage points above or below
such weighting.
Investors should note that the Manager may switch between the Replication Strategy and the Representation Sampling
Strategy without prior notice to investors, in its absolute discretion.
The Manager has no intention to engage in sale and repurchase transactions, reverse repurchase transactions or othersimilar over-the-counter transactions in respect of the Sub-Fund. Should there be a change in such intention, theManager will seek prior approval of the SFC if required and not less than one month’s prior notice will be given tounitholders.
The Manager may, on behalf of the Sub-Fund, enter into securities lending transactions with a maximum level of up to
50% and expected level of approximately 20% of its NAV and is able to recall the securities lent out at any time.
As part of the securities lending transactions, the Sub-Fund must receive cash and/or non-cash collateral of at least
100% of the value of the securities lent (interests, dividends and other eventual rights included) valued on a daily basis.
The collateral will be subject to safekeeping by the Trustee or an agent appointed by the Trustee. Non-cash collateral
received may not be sold, re-invested or pledged. Any re-investment of cash collateral received shall be subject to therequirements as set out in the Code. To the extent the Sub-Fund undertakes securities lending transactions, allrevenues (net of direct and indirect expenses as reasonable and normal compensation for the services rendered by theManager, a securities lending agent and/or other service providers in the context of such transactions to the extent
permitted by applicable legal and regulatory requirements) shall be returned to the Sub-Fund.
The Manager may invest no more than 10% of the Sub-Fund’s NAV in futures for investment and hedging purposes,
where the Manager believes such investments will help the Sub-Fund achieve its investment objective and are
beneficial to the Sub-Fund. The futures in which the Sub-Fund may invest will be index futures which exhibit highcorrelation with the Underlying Index in order to manage the Sub-Fund’s exposure to the Underlying Index constituents.
Underlying Index
The Underlying Index is a free float adjusted market capitalisation weighted index and aims to represent the 30 largest
technology companies listed in Hong Kong which have high business exposure to selected technology themes,
including internet (including mobile), fintech, cloud, e-commerce, digital, or autonomous activities. The technology
companies selected have to be Greater China Companies (as defined below) that are listed on the main board of the
SEHK.
“Greater China Companies” are companies not classified as “Foreign Companies”. “Foreign Companies” arecompanies which are incorporated outside Greater China (i.e. Hong Kong, Mainland China, Macau and Taiwan) andhave the majority of their business presence outside Greater China.
The Underlying Index is compiled and maintained by Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited (“Index Provider”). It was

coupon payments, after deduction of any withholding tax (including any surcharges for special levies, if applicable). The
Underlying Index is denominated and quoted in HKD.

What are the key risks?
Investment involves risks. You may suffer substantial / total loss by investing in this Sub-Fund. Please referto the Prospectus for details including the risk factors.
1.
•

General investment risk
The Sub-Fund’s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the key risk factors below and therefore
your investment in the Sub-Fund may suffer losses. There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal.
There is no assurance that the Sub-Fund will achieve its investment objective.

2.
•

Equity market risk
The Sub-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 issuerspecific factors.

3.
•

Risks related to companies with technology theme
The Sub-Fund’s investments are concentrated in companies with a technology theme. Many of thecompanies with a high business exposure to a technology theme have a relatively short operating history.
Technology companies are often characterised by relatively higher volatility in price performance whencompared to other economic sectors. Companies in the technology sector also face intense competition,and there may also be substantial government intervention, which may have an adverse effect on profit
margins. Rapid changes could render obsolete the products and services offered by these companies.
These companies are also subject to the risks of loss or impairment of intellectual property rights or licences,cyber security risks resulting in undesirable legal, financial, operational and reputational consequences.
The Sub-Fund may be exposed to risks associated with different technology sectors and themes (including
industries, consumer discretionary, healthcare, financials, information technology, internet (including
mobile), fintech, cloud, e-commerce, digital, or autonomous activities). A downturn in the business forcompanies in these sectors or themes may have adverse effects on the Sub-Fund.

•

4.
•

•

Concentration risk
The Sub-Fund’s investments are concentrated in securities listed on the SEHK of companies that are active intechnology sector may result in greater volatility in the value of the Sub-Fund than more diverse portfolios which
comprise broad-based global investments. The value of the Sub-Fund may be more susceptible to adverse
economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the technology
sector.
The Underlying Index is subject to concentration risk as a result of tracking the performance of securities
incorporated in, or with majority of revenue derived from, or with a principal place of business in, the Greater
China region. The Sub-Fund’s NAV is therefore likely to be more volatile than a broad-based fund.

Differences in dealing arrangements between Listed and Unlisted Classes of Units risk
Investors of Listed and Unlisted Classes of Units are subject to different pricing and dealing arrangements. The
NAV per Unit of each of the Listed and Unlisted Classes of Units may be different due to different fees and cost
applicable to each class. The trading hours of the SEHK applicable to the Listed Class of Units in the secondary
market and the dealing deadlines in respect of the Unlisted Classes of Units are also different.

•

Units of the Listed Class of Units are traded on the stock exchange in the secondary market on an intraday basis
at the prevailing market price (which may diverge from the corresponding NAV), while Units of the Unlisted
Classes of Units are sold through intermediaries based on the dealing day-end NAV and are dealt at a single
valuation point with no access to intraday liquidity in an open market. Depending on market conditions, investorsof the Unlisted Classes of Units may be at an advantage or disadvantage compared to investors of the Listed
Class of Units.

•

In a stressed market scenario, investors of the Unlisted Classes of Units could realise their Units at NAV while
investors of the Listed Class of Units in the secondary market could only realise at the prevailing market price(which may diverge from the corresponding NAV) and may have to exit the Sub-Fund at a significant discount. On
the other hand, investors of the Listed Class of Units could sell their Units on the secondary market during the day
thereby crystallising their positions while investors of the Unlisted Classes of Units could not do so in a timely
manner until the end of the day.

6.
•

Differences in cost mechanisms between Listed and Unlisted Classes of Units risk
Investors should note that different cost mechanisms apply to Listed Class of Units and Unlisted Class of Units.
For Listed Class of Units, the transaction fee and the duties and charges in respect of creation and realisation
applications are paid by the participating dealer applying for or realising such units and/or the Manager. Investorsof Listed Class of Units in the secondary market will not bear such transaction fees and duties and charges (butfor the avoidance of doubt, may bear other fees, such as SEHK trading fees).

•

On the other hand, the subscription and realisaton of Unlisted Class of Units may be subject to a subscription fee
and realisation fee respectively, which will be payable to the Manager by the investor subscribing or realising. In
addition, in determining the subscription price and realisation price, the Manager is entitled to add/deduct anamount which it considers represents an appropriate allowance for the fiscal and purchase/sale charges. Any or
all of these factors may lead to a difference in the NAV of the Listed Class of Units and Unlisted Class of Units.

7.
•

Securities lending transactions risk
The borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Sub-Fund may as a result suffer froma loss or delay when recovering the securities lent out. This may restrict the Sub-Fund’s ability in meeting delivery or
payment obligations from realisation requests.
As part of the securities lending transactions, the Sub-Fund must receive cash collateral of at least 100% of thevaluation of the securities lent valued on a daily basis. However, there is a risk of shortfall of collateral value due toinaccurate pricing of the securities lent or change of value of securities lent. This may cause significant losses to the
Sub-Fund.
By undertaking securities lending transactions, the Sub-Fund is exposed to operational risks such as delay or failureof settlement. Such delays and failure may restrict the Sub-Fund’s ability in meeting delivery or payment obligations
from realisation requests.

•

•

8.
•

Passive investment risk
The Sub-Fund is passively managed and the Manager will not have the discretion to adapt to market changes
due to the inherent investment nature of the Sub-Fund. Falls in the Underlying Index are expected to result incorresponding falls in the value of the Sub-Fund.

9.
•

Tracking error risk
The Sub-Fund may be subject to tracking error risk, which is the risk that its performance may not track that of theUnderlying Index exactly. This tracking error may result from the investment strategy used, and fees andexpenses. The Manager will monitor and seek to manage such risk in minimising tracking error. There can be noassurance of exact or identical replication at any time of the performance of the Underlying Index.

10. Trading risks•
The trading price of the Units on the SEHK is driven by market factors such as the demand and supply of theUnits. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Sub-Fund’s NAV.
•
As investors will pay certain charges (e.g. trading fees and brokerage fees) to buy or sell Units on the SEHK,
investors may pay more than the NAV per Unit when buying Units on the SEHK, and may receive less than the
4
MAIN\HODONO\38424794_1.docx

Global X ETF Series Global X Hang Seng TECH ETF (Listed Class)
NAV per Unit when selling Units on the SEHK.
11. Termination risk•
The Sub-Fund may be terminated early under certain circumstances, for example, where the Underlying Index is
no longer available for benchmarking or if the size of the Sub-Fund falls below HKD50 million (or its equivalent in
the Sub-Fund’s base currency). Investors may not be able to recover their investments and suffer a loss when the
Sub-Fund is terminated.
12. Reliance on market maker risks•
Although the Manager will use its best endeavours to put in place arrangements so that at least one market
maker will maintain a market for the Units and that at least one market maker gives not less than three months’
notice prior to terminating market making arrangement under the relevant market maker agreement, liquidity inthe market for the Units may be adversely affected if there is no or only one market maker for the Units. There isalso no guarantee that any market making activity will be effective.
13. Distributions paid out of capital or effectively out of capital risk
• Payments of distributions out of capital and/or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part ofan 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 Sub-Fund may resultin an immediate reduction in the NAV per Unit of the Sub-Fund and will reduce the capital available for the SubFund’s future investment.
