Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance as of 6/30/2010 for the Global X/Interbolsa FTSE Colombia 20 ETF (GXG) is 53.84% at NAV, 47.46% at Market Price (1 year), 82.10% at NAV, 76.90% at Market Price annualized since inception (2/5/2009). Annualized total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions.   Total expense ratio is 0.86%.  The portfolio's returns are attributable to investments in a single country.  The unusually favorable conditions that may lead to higher returns may not continue to exist and there can be no assurance that performance will be repeated in the future.  Market price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 Eastern Time and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance quoted.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Securities focusing on a single country and narrowly focused investments may be subject to higher volatility.  There are additional risks associated with investing in base and precious metals as well as their respective mining industries.
