**Global X Short-Term Treasury Ladder ETF**

Ticker: SLDR Exchange: NYSE Arca

**INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE**

The Global X Short-Term Treasury Ladder ETF ("Fund") seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE US Treasury 1-3 Years Laddered Bond Index ("Underlying Index").

**FEES AND EXPENSES**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares ("Shares") of the Fund. **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.**

**Annual Fund Operating Expenses** (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment):

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Management Fees: | 0.12% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees: |  |
| Other Expenses: | 0.00% |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses:** | **0.12%** |

---

**Example:** The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. This example does not take into account customary brokerage commissions that you pay when purchasing or selling Shares of the Fund in the secondary market. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **One Year** | **Three Years** | **Five Years** | **Ten Years** |
| $12 | $39 | $68 | $154 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover:** The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. For the most recent fiscal period, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 11.15% of the average value of its portfolio.

**PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES**

The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes (if any), in the securities of the FTSE US Treasury 1-3 Years Laddered Bond Index (the "Underlying Index"), and in securities that the Adviser determines have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of the securities that comprise the Underlying Index. In addition, in seeking to track the Underlying Index, the Fund may invest in debt securities that are not included in the Underlying Index, cash and cash equivalents or money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements and money market funds. The Fund's 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and requires 60 days prior written notice to shareholders before it can be changed.

The Underlying Index is designed to measure the performance of a strategy commonly referred to as bond "laddering" as applied to public obligations of the U.S. Treasury that have maturities between 1 and 3 years as of the last business day of February of each year (each an "annual rebalance"). Bond laddering involves constructing a portfolio of bonds maturing at staggered intervals (commonly referred to as "rungs"). The Underlying Index allocates its holdings equally across two distinct rungs (each an "effective maturity group"). Each effective maturity group covers a one-year period. For example, the first effective maturity group includes bonds that mature in 1 to 2 years from the annual rebalance, whereas the second effective maturity group includes bonds that mature in 2 to 3 years, as of the annual rebalance. Within each effective maturity group, each index component is weighted based on the component's market capitalization value in relation to the aggregate market capitalization value of all Underlying Index components. Upon the annual rebalance, the component securities of the effective maturity group with a longer maturity date range become the securities of the next effective maturity group, one year closer to maturity. For example, the securities in the effective maturity group maturing in 2 to 3 years will become the securities in the effective maturity group maturing in 1 to 2 years on the annual rebalance. The component securities within the effective maturity group with the

---

------

shortest time to maturity are removed from the Underlying Index and new component securities are selected for effective maturity date with the longest time to maturity, thus maintaining the ladder structure.

To be a part of the eligible universe of the Underlying Index, certain criteria, as defined by FTSE Russell, the provider of the Underlying Index ("Index Provider"), must be met. In addition to having a remaining maturity of less than 3 years and at least 1 year at the annual rebalance, each security must be denominated in U.S. dollars and at least $5 billion of the security's offering must be available to the public for purchase (i.e., is not held by the Federal Reserve), as determined by the Index Provider on the annual rebalance. The Index will not include variable-rate, floating-rate, fixed-to-floating rate, index-linked, retail directed, T-Bills, stripped zero coupon, convertibles, savings, private placements, and dual-currency bonds. The Underlying Index is reconstituted on a monthly basis. At the monthly reconstitution, newly issued securities may be selected for inclusion in the Underlying Index and the securities within each effective maturity group will be reweighted; however, no security shall change its effective maturity group at the monthly reconstitution. As of January 31, 2026, the Underlying Index had 103 constituents. The Fund's investment objective and Underlying Index may be changed without shareholder approval.

In tracking the Underlying Index, the Fund uses two effective maturity groups, a first effective maturity group of securities with maturity dates between 1 and 2 years from the Annual Rebalance and a second effective maturity group of securities with maturity dates between 2 and 3 years from the Annual Rebalance. Each year, on the Annual Rebalance, the Fund sells the securities in the 1 to 2-year effective maturity group that have been removed from the Underlying Index; the securities in the Fund's 2 to 3-year effective maturity group become the securities in its 1 to 2-year effective maturity group; and the Fund purchases new securities for its 2 to 3-year effective maturity group using the proceeds from the sales of the securities formerly held in its 1 to 2-year effective maturity group.

The Underlying Index is sponsored by the Index Provider, which is an organization that is independent of, and unaffiliated with, the Fund and Global X Management Company LLC, the investment adviser for the Fund ("Adviser"). In addition, any determinations related to the constituents of the Underlying Index are made independent of the Fund's portfolio managers. The Index Provider determines the relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index.

The Adviser uses an indexing approach to try to achieve the Fund's investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to outperform the Underlying Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued.

The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Underlying Index. "Representative sampling" is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile substantially similar to the Underlying Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. These include market capitalization and other financial characteristics of securities. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes (if any), will be invested in (i) component securities of the Underlying Index and (ii) investments that have economic characteristics that, either individually or when combined, are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such component securities. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund's performance and that of the Underlying Index, before fees and expenses, will exceed 95%. A correlation percentage of 100% would indicate perfect correlation.

**SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL RISKS**

As with any investment, you could lose all or part of your investment in the Fund, and the Fund's performance could trail that of other investments. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, the Adviser or any of its affiliates. The Fund is subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value ("NAV"), trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective, as well as other risks that are described in greater detail in the **Additional Information About the Funds** section of this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI").

**Asset Class Risk:** Securities and other assets in the Underlying Index or otherwise held in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general securities markets, a particular securities market or other asset classes.

**Bond Investment Risk:** Investments in debt securities are generally affected by changes in prevailing interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuer. The values of debt securities may rise or fall in response to market fluctuations, changes in interest rates, actual or perceived inability of issuers, guarantors or liquidity providers to make scheduled payments, or illiquidity in debt markets. The Fund's yield on investments in debt securities will fluctuate as the securities in the Fund are rebalanced and reinvested in securities with different interest rates. Investments in bonds are also subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of debt securities will be unable to pay principal and interest when due, or that the value of the security will suffer because investors believe the issuer is less able to make required principal and interest payments. This is broadly gauged by the credit

---

------

ratings of the debt securities in which the Fund invests. However, credit ratings are only the opinions of the rating agencies issuing them, do not purport to reflect the risk of fluctuations in market value and are not absolute guarantees as to the payment of interest and the repayment of principal.

**Fixed Income Securities Risk:** Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk, which refers to fluctuations in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates can significantly affect the value of fixed-income securities. A rise in interest rates typically causes fixed income security prices to fall, with longer-maturity or higher-duration fixed income securities being more sensitive to such fluctuations. Conversely, a decline in interest rates may increase fixed income security prices; however, this environment can also reduce the yield of newly issued fixed income securities, potentially lowering the Fund's income over time. In periods of falling interest rates, reinvestment risk may arise as the Fund may need to reinvest proceeds from maturing securities at lower yields, which could negatively impact overall returns. Additionally, an unexpected event could interfere with an issuer's ability to make timely interest or principal payments or cause market speculation about the issuer's ability to make such payments. Such events may significantly reduce the credit quality and market value of an issuer's fixed income securities and/or other debt securities regardless of the broader interest rate environment. These risks may result in losses to the Fund or underperformance relative to other investments. The value of the Fund's fixed income investments is also dependent on their maturity. Generally, the longer the maturity of a fixed income security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

**U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk:** U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. U.S. Treasury obligations are subject to inflation risk, as the price of short term U.S. Treasury obligations tends to fall during inflationary periods as investors seek higher yielding investments. Changes to interest rates may also adversely affect the value and liquidity of the U.S. Treasury obligations. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund's investments in U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Notwithstanding that U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as reaching the legislative "debt ceiling," which can in turn drive debt higher. Such non-payment could result in losses to the Fund and substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system.

**Cybersecurity Risk:** With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund, like all companies, may be susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. Cybersecurity incidents involving the Fund and its service providers (including, without limitation, the Adviser, fund accountant, custodian, transfer agent and financial intermediaries) have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, impediments to trading, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs.

**Geographic Risk:** The Fund's investments in securities of issuers located in a particular country or geographic region may subject the Fund to certain risks to a greater extent than if its investments were less focused, including: natural, biological or other disasters and the spread of infectious diseases; economic, political and social instability; security concerns; and trade disputes with key trading partners. The securities in which the Fund invests and, consequently, the Fund is also subject to specific risks as a result of their business operations in a particular country or region, including, but not limited to:

**Risk of Investing in Developed Markets:** Investments in a developed country's issuer may subject the Fund to legal, regulatory, political, currency, security, and economic risks specific to developed countries. Developed countries tend to represent a significant portion of the global economy and have generally experienced slower economic growth than some less developed countries. Certain developed countries have experienced security concerns, such as war, terrorism and strained international relations. Incidents involving a country's or region's security may cause uncertainty in its markets and may adversely affect its economy and the Fund's investments. In addition, developed countries may be adversely impacted by changes to the economic conditions of certain key trading partners, regulatory burdens, debt burdens and the price or availability of certain commodities.

**Risk of Investing in the United States:** Investments in United States issuers may subject the Fund to legal, regulatory, political, currency, security, and economic risks specific to the United States. A decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation and/or an economic recession in the U.S. may have a material adverse effect on the U.S. economy.

**Government Debt Risk:** Countries with high levels of public debt and spending may experience stifled economic growth. Such countries may face higher borrowing costs and, in some cases, may implement austerity measures that could have an adverse effect on economic growth. Such developments could contribute to prolonged periods of recession and adversely impact investments in the Fund.

**Income Risk:** Income risk is the risk that the Fund's income will decline because of falling interest rates.

**Indexing Strategy Risk:** The Fund is not actively managed, and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not seek to outperform its Underlying Index. Therefore, it would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. Additionally, if a constituent of the Underlying Index were removed, even outside of a regular rebalance of the Underlying Index, the Adviser anticipates that the Fund would sell such security. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause the Fund's return to be lower than if the Fund employed an active strategy.

**Index-Related Risk:** There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to the Underlying Index and therefore achieve its investment objective. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on the Fund's ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Underlying Index. Errors in index data, index computations and/or the construction of the Underlying Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund and its shareholders.

**Management Risk:** The Fund may not fully replicate its Underlying Index and may hold securities not included in its Underlying Index. The Adviser's investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may cause the Fund to underperform the market or its relevant benchmark or adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.

**Representative Sampling Risk:** Representative sampling is a method of indexing that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively have a similar investment profile to the Underlying Index and resemble the Underlying Index in terms of risk factors and other key characteristics. When the Fund utilizes a representative sampling strategy, the Fund is subject to an increased risk of tracking error, in that the securities selected in the aggregate for the Fund may not have an investment profile similar to those of the Underlying Index.

**Tracking Error Risk:** Tracking error may occur because of differences between the instruments held in the Fund's portfolio and those included in the Underlying Index, pricing differences, transaction costs incurred by the Fund, the Fund's holding of uninvested cash, size of the Fund, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to the Underlying Index or the costs to the Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses, while the Underlying Index does not.

**Interest Rate Risk:** Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of fixed income securities resulting from changes in the level of interest rates. When interest rates decline, prices of fixed-income securities generally increase; and decrease when interest rates increase. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply.<br>Variable and floating rate securities also increase or decrease in value in response to changes in interest rates, although generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate securities. Variable and floating rate securities may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. When the Fund holds variable or floating rate securities, a decrease in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities, which may also impact the net asset value of the Fund's Shares.

**Market Risk:** Turbulence in the financial markets and reduced liquidity may negatively affect issuers, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund and its investments. The Fund's NAV could decline over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns. Trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs, may dampen consumer spending and result in decreased confidence in the markets. Additionally, political uncertainty regarding U.S. policy, including the U.S. government's approach to trade, may also impact the markets. Furthermore, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious diseases, inflation and recessions, changes in interest or exchange rates, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and trading of its Shares. Market risk factors may result in increased volatility and/or decreased liquidity in the securities markets.

**Operational Risk:** The Fund is exposed to operational risk arising from a number of factors, including but not limited to human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund's service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes, cyber security incidents, and technology or systems failures. The Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks

------

through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate for those risks that they are intended to address.

**Reinvestment Risk:** Reinvestment risk is the risk that the changes in interest rates will impact the Fund's ability to reinvest income or principal at the same return it is currently earning. This risk is greater when interest rates decline compared to the interest rates of the Fund's portfolio.

**Risks Associated with Exchange-Traded Funds**: As an ETF, the Fund is subject to the following risks:

**Authorized Participants Concentration Risk**: The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants and engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund, and none of those Authorized Participants is obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. To the extent that those Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, such as in times of market stress, Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and/or at wider intraday bid-ask spreads, and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting from an exchange.

**Large Shareholder Risk:** Certain shareholders, including an Authorized Participant, the Adviser, an affiliate of the Adviser, or funds managed by the Adviser, may own a substantial amount of the Fund's Shares. Redemptions by large shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund. If a large shareholder were to redeem all, or a large portion, of its Shares, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to maintain sufficient assets to continue operations in which case the Board of Trustees may determine to liquidate the Fund. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a large percentage of the trading volume on a national securities exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Shares.

**Listing Standards Risk:** The Fund is required to comply with listing requirements adopted by the listing exchange. Non-compliance with such requirements may result in the Fund's shares being delisted by the listing exchange. Any resulting liquidation of the Fund could cause the Fund to incur elevated transaction costs and could result in negative tax consequences for its shareholders.

**Market Trading Risks and Premium/Discount Risks:** Shares of the Fund are publicly traded on a national securities exchange, which may subject shareholders to numerous market trading risks. In stressed market conditions, the market for the Shares may become less liquid in response to the deteriorating liquidity of the Fund's portfolio. This adverse effect on the liquidity of the Shares, as well as disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of assets in the Fund or an active trading market for Shares may result in Shares trading at a significant premium or discount to NAV. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. The NAV of the Fund is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings. The trading price of the Fund's Shares fluctuates, in some cases materially, throughout trading hours in response to changes in the Fund's NAV.

**Valuation Risk:** The sales price the Fund could receive for a security may differ from the Fund's valuation of the security and may differ from the value used by the Underlying Index, particularly for securities that trade in low value or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology (such as during trading halts). The value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell the Fund's Shares.

**PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES** 

Shares of the Fund are or will be listed and traded at market prices on a national securities exchange. Shares may only be purchased and sold on the exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Only "Authorized Participants" (as defined in the SAI) who have entered into agreements with the Fund's distributor, SEI Investments Distribution Co. ("Distributor"), may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund will only issue or redeem Shares that have been aggregated into blocks called "Creation Units". The Fund will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a basket of cash and/or securities that the Fund specifies any day that the national securities exchanges are open for business ("Business Day"). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). To access information regarding the Fund's net asset value, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, please go to www.globalxetfs.com.

**TAX INFORMATION** 

The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account ("IRA"), in which case distributions from such tax-advantaged arrangement may be taxable to you.

**PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES** 

The Adviser and its related companies may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as a bank) for the sale of Fund Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your broker-dealer, sales persons or other intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
