GLOBAL X ANNOUNCES CHANGES TO RISK RATINGS FOR CERTAIN ETFs

Global X Investments Canada Inc. has made changes to the risk ratings applicable to nine of its ETFs (exchange-traded funds).

The changes in risk ratings are effective immediately and are detailed in the attached table.

These changes are the result of an annual review conducted in accordance with a standardized investment risk classification methodology, set out in National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds, that is based on the historical volatility of the ETF as measured by the 10-year standard deviation of the returns of the ETF. If an ETF has less than 10 years of performance history, the investment risk level of the ETF is calculated using the return history of the ETF and, for the remainder of the 10-year period, the return history of a reference index that is expected to reasonably approximate the standard deviation of the ETF.
