RE: Notification of amendments to the distribution policy of the Fund.
Dear Investors
The ICAV is an open-ended investment vehicle with variable capital organised under the laws of Ireland and is authorised by the Central Bank pursuant to the European Communities (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) Regulations 2011, as amended. The Fund is a sub-fund of the ICAV.
It is proposed that the distribution frequency of the distributing Classes of the Fund (the "Distributing Classes") be changed as set out below:
Current distribution frequency | Proposed distribution frequency |
Semi-annually | Monthly |
Distributions in respect of the Distributing Classes will be declared on the basis of an indicative annual dividend yield of the constituents of the index replicated by the Fund (the "Index") calculated by the Investment Manager. As a consequence of the proposal for the Distributing Classes to distribute on a monthly, rather than a semi-annual, basis, there may be circumstances where dividend frequency of some, or all, of the constituents of the Index is less than the distribution frequency of the Distributing Classes. In these circumstances, distributions declared in respect of the Distributing Classes, on the basis of an indicative annual dividend yield of the Index constituents, may comprise net income (if any) of the Fund but may also be paid out of the capital of the Fund attributable to the Distributing Classes. Given this is the case, the disclosure contained in the Supplement will be clarified to reflect the potential for distributions to be paid out of capital in addition to net income.
The proposed changes outlined above necessitate that the Supplement be updated accordingly and these updates to the Supplement will take effect on, or around, 18 July 2022, subject to the approval of the Central Bank.
Additionally, the distribution calendar (available at https://globalxetfs.eu) will be updated to reflect the revised distribution frequency of the Distributing Classes
Should you have any questions relating to the changes detailed above, you should contact your local agent, or (if none) Global X ETFs on +44 (0)20 4529 2551 or europe@globalxetfs.com, or alternatively you should contact your investment consultant, tax adviser and/or legal adviser as appropriate.
Yours faithfully,
