Empowering Your Financial Goals

ETFs, or exchange traded funds, share characteristics of both stocks and traditional mutual funds. They are baskets of securities (potentially including stocks, bonds, options contracts, etc.) that trade on an exchange similar to individual stocks. They can be bought and sold at market price throughout the trading day.

Simplicity, tax efficiency, transparency, and diversification are some characteristics of many ETFs that make them appealing to a wide range of investors. For many people, managing a portfolio of individual stocks is too time-consuming, and funds that invest in options contracts, bonds, and/or international securities may be too complex or inaccessible for non-professional investors. Some ETFs may not exhibit all these traits. Please read the prospectus of any potential investment carefully and consider consulting a financial professional before investing.

Unfortunately, ETFs can only be purchased via a brokerage account or through a financial advisor. On the bright side, Global X funds are accessible on nearly all major online Canadian investment platforms.

As Global X, we are proud to be part of a truly “global” investment network, with our brand also present in the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. Over 120 ETFs offered by Global X are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). Depending on your brokerage, you may see a “.TO” after the ticker symbol, which denotes that it is TSX-listed. Canadians are also able to buy U.S.-listed Global X ETFs from the U.S. Global X partner if they so choose to do so.

Thematic investing entails obtaining broad exposure to long-term, transformative trends influenced by technological advancements, shifting consumer preferences, and environmental adaptations. Examples include the emergence of artificial intelligence, the transition to renewable energy, and other evolving opportunities.

We believe that the search for yield is not limited to bonds and treasuries. While we do have fixed-income offerings, we also manage ETFs that invest in preferred stocks, dividend-paying stocks, and derivatives that aim to produce income. Many of our income ETFs are designed to provide monthly distributions. Learn more here.

Foreign investments can boost portfolio diversification and may be able to mitigate risk by adding exposure to economies with various growth drivers, demographics, currencies, and correlations with domestic markets. International investing may involve the risk of capital loss from unfavourable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations.
