Call Date The date when an issuer can elect to redeem a preferred stock or a bond for a specified value. There can be multiple call dates over the life of a security. These terms and dates are contractually expressed by the issuer. Duration The percentage by which a bond’s value will fall based on a 1% change in interest rates.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Preferred stock is subject to many of the risks associated with debt securities, including interest rate risk. In addition, preferred stock may not pay a dividend, an issuer may suspend payment of dividends on preferred stock at any time, and in certain situations, an issuer may call or redeem its preferred stock or convert it to common stock. High yielding stocks are often speculative, high-risk investments. These companies can be paying out more than they can support and may reduce their dividends or stop paying dividends at any time, which could have a material adverse effect on the stock price of these companies and the fund’s performance. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Variable and Floating Rate Securities may have limits on the maximum increases in coupon rates and may lag behind changes in market rates. PFFD, PFFV and SPFF are non-diversified. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Global X NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Market price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at the close of the exchange and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
