- Global X Management Company LLC (Global X) is a New York-based provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), offering actively managed and index-based products focused on thematic investing, income generation, commodities, fixed income, and equity strategies; its lineup includes core equity funds, covered call ETFs, disruptive technology themes, emerging markets access, and alpha-seeking solutions. The firm, founded in 2008 and headquartered at 605 Third Avenue in New York, NY, operates globally with offices in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Australia as part of Mirae Asset Global Investments (US), following Mirae Asset's 2018 acquisition. Global X serves institutional and retail investors seeking innovative, low-cost ETF solutions across developed and emerging markets.
Among its core offerings, the Global X U.S. 500 Income Edge ETF (EDGX), launched on February 17, 2026, is an actively managed fund that employs a covered call strategy on the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index to provide exposure to the largest 500 U.S.-listed equities while targeting a 9% annualized distribution rate through weekly income from option premiums and dividends; it invests at least 80% of net assets in the U.S. 500 portfolio and related options, selling calls on a portion of holdings to balance income with upside potential. The ETF holds key positions such as BNY Mellon US Large Cap Core ETF (BKLC) and Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), with a net expense ratio of 0.00% under a fee waiver through at least March 1, 2027.
In recent developments, Global X launched EDGX alongside the Global X Nasdaq-100 Income Edge ETF (EDGQ) on February 17, 2026, expanding its options-income suite to 16 ETFs, including seven 100% covered call strategies and seven 50% covered call/growth blends, to meet demand for weekly distributions amid growth in the derivative income space. Earlier in 2025, the firm enhanced funds via name and ticker changes, such as renaming the Global X Thematic Growth ETF to Global X Dorsey Wright Thematic ETF (GXDW) following a strategic partnership with Nasdaq Dorsey Wright for momentum-based indexing, and rebranded the Global X Telemedicine & Digital Health ETF to Global X HealthTech ETF (HEAL). Additionally, in July 2025, Global X announced product updates including liquidations of minor funds representing less than 0.2% of assets, underscoring ongoing portfolio optimization.
