NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Global X Funds, the New York-based provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), today announced that its suite of China Sector ETFs will undergo index changes to track China sector indexes from MSCI, a leader in investment indexes. The transition to the MSCI indexes, which takes effect on or around December 5th, 2018, will, among other changes, result in the inclusion of Chinese A-Shares in the ETFs going forward.

The index changes reflect Global X's continued collaboration with MSCI, which will additionally extend to the firm's prospective additions to its suite of China Sector ETFs, slated to come to market at a future date. Together, these index changes along with the upcoming fund launches will establish a suite of ETFs that track each major economic sector in China.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations.

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.

Carefully consider the funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing.
