RE:   Notification of amendments to the index methodology effective 15 December 2022 and other amendments

 

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.

 

This notice is to inform investors of the Fund of the following index methodology changes:

 

Index Methodology Changes:

 

The index methodology of the Index of the Fund will change as follows on 15 December 2022:

 

Previous methodology:

 

The Index each month measures the performance of a portfolio of the equity securities included in the NASDAQ-100® Index (the "Reference Index") while it also "writes" (or sells) a succession of one-month at-the-money covered call options on the securities in the Reference Index, which are held until one day prior to the expiration dates (i.e., generally the Thursday preceding the third Friday of the month) and are liquidated at a volume-weighted average price determined at the close.

 

Updated methodology:

 

The Index each month measures the performance of a portfolio of the equity securities included in the NASDAQ-100® Index (the "Reference Index") while it also "writes" (or sells) a succession of one-month at-the-money covered call options on the securities in the Reference Index, which are held until the expiration dates (i.e., generally the third Friday of the month) (the "Roll Date") and are liquidated at a time-weighted average price of the new call option during the two-hour period beginning at 11:30 EST on the Roll Date.

 

Full details of the Index methodology changes of the Index can be found at: 202211_Methodology_Change_for_the_Cboe_NASDAQ-100_BuyWrite_V2_UCITS_Index.pdf

 

Distributions

 

We would also like to take this opportunity to advise investors that the Supplement will be also updated to advise investors that as a consequence of the Distributing Classes distributing on a monthly 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, 15 December 2022, subject to the approval of the Central Bank.

 

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,
