As the world gradually depletes its major existing gold mines, discovery of new mines becomes increasingly important to meet global demand of this precious, “safe haven” metal. While many gold explorers may not yield significant, economically-viable deposits, those that do will experience dramatic valuation increases. For the investor seeking such high-risk, high-reward, early stage investment profiles, gold explorers provide an opportunity similar to that of venture capital investing.
Ordinarily, extensive trade knowledge may be required to evaluate and select gold exploration companies. By providing exposure to a wide range of gold explorers, GLDX helps reduce single-company risk. An investment allocation to a basket of gold explorers can complement a holding in gold bullion or large-cap miners, adding growth potential to the overall portfolio via exploration or mine development.

DISCLOSURE
Carefully consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Funds’ prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-888-GX-FUND-1 (1.888.493.8631), or by visiting www.globalxfunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Securities focusing on a single country and narrowly focused investments may be subject to higher volatility. There are additional risks associated with investing in metals as well as their respective mining industries. Negative changes in commodity markets could have a great impact on the fund, that exploration and development of mineral deposits are highly speculative and exploration companies may be significantly affected by competitive pressures, the price of mineral deposits, and regulatory and political events, all of which may (cause losses or) increase volatility.
Index returns are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect actual fund performance. Index performance returns do not reflect any management fees, transaction costs or expenses. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
