About SLDR
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.
