Global X Adds ETF Model Portfolios to Interactive Advisors Platform

NEW YORK, July 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Global X ETFs (Global X), the New York-based provider of exchange traded funds (ETFs), today announced that two proprietary ETF model portfolios have been added to the Interactive Advisors platform. Interactive Advisors is a pioneer in online investing that offers both actively and passively managed portfolios.

"ETFs are the components that we use to build broader portfolios," said Jon Maier, CIO at Global X ETFs. "Our aim is to construct relevant, timely and thoughtful portfolios that assist investors in achieving a wide range of unique investment goals. We're excited to see how investors using the Interactive Advisors platform engage with these tools."

The portfolios, which allocate across numerous ETFs, predominantly Global X ETFs, are designed as packaged solutions to meet certain investment needs. The two model portfolios launched on the Interactive Advisors marketplace are:

• China Sector ETF Model Portfolio
• This portfolio exclusively made up of Global X ETFs provides exposure to China utilizing a segmented and processed approach with a tilt towards the growthier, "new" economy that is being driven by the shift to a consumer-led economy. The portfolio is intended to be tilted toward the new, consumer-led economy and away from the more export-oriented sectors. This is a momentum-oriented strategy that takes into consideration the correlation between sectors as well as valuations, and seeks to take advantage of the dynamics within the Chinese market.
• Equity Thematic Disruptors ETF Model Portfolio
• The Global X Equity Thematic Disruptors ETF Model Portfolio is a growth-focused equity allocation portfolio using Global X and third-party ETFs. The ETFs utilized are chosen to target structural themes that may be disrupting various segments and sectors in the broad market. The portfolio is constructed around these three key features:
• Growth potential - The ETFs used are chosen to target structural themes that may be disrupting various segments and sectors in the broad market.
• Unconstrained approach - Thematic ETFs tend to transcend classic sector, industry, and geographic classifications, providing exposures with low overlap and correlations with other growth-oriented strategies.
• Structured approach - Sectors and themes can be selected and weighted in an effort to tilt towards higher growth opportunities.

"Global X is a leading-edge firm and a logical addition to our marketplace," said Joseph Sullivan, Director of Manager Relations for Interactive Advisors. "I am excited to give our clients access to innovative models like Thematic Disruptors and China Sector. We are able to give clients access to Global X's knowledge to help them navigate complex markets like China, and provide low minimums and management fees."

Investment minimums for the new portfolios are just $5,000 and the annual management fee is 0.10%.   As the issuer of many of the underlying ETFs making up the portfolios, Global X separately charges investing clients ETF fees.

Disclosure from Interactive Advisors:

These portfolios are not in any way recommended to Interactive Advisors clients by Global X. Global X does not provide any investment advice or recommendation in relation to these portfolios and is not acting as an investment adviser or fiduciary to Interactive Advisors clients. Global X has built these portfolios without regard to the individual financial circumstances and objectives of any investor or Interactive Advisors client.  All or most ETFs in this portfolio are Global X ETFs (i.e., ETFs managed by Global X). There may be similar ETFs with higher ratings, lower fees and expenses, substantially better performance, more attractive yield/risk profiles in the market, better in terms of exposure, or otherwise considered preferable to Global X ETFs. Because Global X earns fees for advisory, administrative and other services from Global X ETFs and will generally use a Global X ETF in this portfolio unless there is no Global X ETF consistent with the desired asset allocation, Global X has an incentive to include ETFs with higher costs and fees in this portfolio. Additional information on the Global X ETFs included in this portfolio, including their investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses can be found in the prospectus for each ETF at: https://www.globalxetfs.com/.  For a detailed discussion of the risks associated with investing in this Global X ETF Portfolio, please review this risk disclosure.
