Distributions for the ETFs will vary from period to period. For further information regarding the Distributions, please visit About Global X Investments Canada Inc. ( Global X Investments Canada Inc. is an innovative financial services company and offers one of the largest suites of exchange traded funds in Canada. The Global X Fund family includes a broadly diversified range of solutions for investors of all experience levels to meet their investment objectives in a variety of market conditions. Global X has more than $41 billion of assets under management and 142 ETFs listed on major Canadian stock exchanges. Global X is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Mirae Asset Financial Group, which manages more than $900 billion of assets across 19 countries and global markets around the world. Commissions, management fees, and expenses all may be associated with an investment in products (the "Global X Funds") managed by Global X Investments Canada Inc. The Global X Funds are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. Certain Global X Funds may have exposure to leveraged investment techniques that magnify gains and losses which may result in greater volatility in value and could be subject to aggressive investment risk and price volatility risk. Such risks are described in the prospectus. The Global X Money Market Funds are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other government deposit insurer. There can be no assurances that the money market fund will be able to maintain its net asset value per security at a constant amount or that the full amount of your investment in the Funds will be returned to you. Past performance may not be repeated. The prospectus contains important detailed information about the Global X Funds. Please read the relevant prospectus before investing. The payment of distributions, if any, is not guaranteed and may fluctuate at any time. The payment of distributions should not be confused with an exchange traded fund's ("ETF") performance, rate of return, or yield. If distributions paid by the ETF are greater than the performance of the ETF, distributions paid may include a return of capital and an investor's original investment will decrease. A return of capital is not taxable to the investor but will generally reduce the adjusted cost base of the securities held for tax purposes. Distributions are paid as a result of capital gains realized by an ETF, and income and dividends earned by an ETF are taxable to the investor in the year they are paid. The investor's adjusted cost base will be reduced by the amount of any returns of capital. If the investor's adjusted cost base goes below zero, investors will realize capital gains equal to the amount below zero. Future distribution dates may be amended at any time. To recognize that these distributions have been allocated to investors for tax purposes the amounts of these distributions should be added to the adjusted cost base of the units held. The characterization of distributions, if any, for tax purposes, (such as dividends/other income/capital gains, etc.) will not be known for certain until after the ETF's tax year-end. Therefore, investors will be informed of the tax characterization after year-end and not with each distribution if any. For tax purposes, these amounts will be reported annually by brokers on official tax statements. Please refer to the applicable ETF distribution policy in the prospectus for more information. The Global X Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCC) and the Global X Enhanced Bitcoin Covered Call ETF (BCCL) are each exchange traded alternative mutual funds that invest in other alternative mutual funds that invest, directly or indirectly, in Bitcoin. There are inherent risks associated with products linked to crypto assets, including Bitcoin Futures. While Bitcoin Futures are traded on a regulated exchange and cleared by regulated central counterparties, direct or indirect exposure to the high level of risk of Bitcoin Futures will not be suitable for all types of investors. Given the speculative nature of bitcoin and the volatility of the digital currency markets, there is no assurance that BCCC or BCCL will be able to meet their respective investment objectives. An investment in BCCC or BCCL is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for investors who have a sophisticated knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin and the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. An investment in either BCCC or BCCL is considered high risk.

Weekend sampler: 3 micro-cap stocks to watch
With the TSX up by 5.7 per cent over the past month, just shy of its all-time-high, driven by a rebound in the price of oil, and the S&P 500 following suit, up by 6.8 per cent, emboldened by strong U.S. jobs data, investors are growing increasingly immune to Trump's tariff bluster. They're realizing that he's but one among many short-term headwinds, along with wars, recessions and a diversity of cultural conflicts, which stocks have proven more than capable of overcoming on their way to delivering attractive long-term returns. While financial media has a vested interest in making you worry about next quarter's earnings or the effects of a single central bank interest rate decision, fundamentals and value will always prevail in the end. This means it's always the right time to consider stocks with the potential to reward patient investors, grounded in the understanding that short-term volatility is the price of long-term gains. To this end, as you kick your feet up and kick off the well-deserved weekend, here are three fundamentally attractive micro-cap stocks for your perusing pleasure, each of them worth a deep dive towards a potential investment thanks to positive earnings per share year-over-year and evidence for keeping the profits flowing into the future. BQE Water Our first micro-cap stock pick, BQE Water (TSXV:BQE), market cap C$65.93 million, last trading at C$51 per share, specializes in water treatment and management for the mining, smelting and refining markets. Although the stock has added 363 per cent since 2020, supported by more than 100 per cent revenue and net income growth – including a strong Q1 2025 – it's down by 20 per cent year-over-year, likely discounting numerous projects near completion expected to drive growth through year-end. Olympia Financial Group Our second micro-cap stock pick, Olympia Financial (TSX:OLY), market cap C$266.57 million, last trading at C$110.78, administers self-directed registered plan accounts, corporate trusts, transfer agency services, currency exchange, global payments, private health plans and information technology services in the Canadian market. The company more than doubled revenue from C$48.62 million in 2020 to C$102.92 million in 2024, while tripling net income over the period from C$7.99 million to C$23.92 million, respectively, following this up with a steady Q1 2025 marked by a growing client base. Under the care of a long-tenured management team with 34-per-cent insider ownership, Olympia is in the midst of a multi-pronged growth plan (slide 25) to expand its established position in private markets, granting investors a data-driven thesis for meaningful gains, despite the stock adding 184 per cent since 2020. ADF Group Our final micro-cap stock to watch, ADF Group (TSX:DRX), market cap C$188.29 million, last trading at C$6.70, is a top designer and engineer of steel structures for the North American non-residential infrastructure sector. The company's over 65-year track record includes infrastructure projects spanning airports, stadiums, factories and office towers, with a current capacity to manufacture 125,000 tons of structural steel per year. If we look at ADF's past five years, we see expanding market share justified by accelerating profits. This includes revenue growth from C$172.59 million in fiscal 2021 to C$339.63 million in fiscal 2025, proven efficient by net income growth from C$6.87 million to C$56.79 million over the period. Tariff fears have since hit the stock with steep losses to the tune of 60 per cent year-over-year – most recently hampered by an increase in U.S. steel tariffs which Canada may reciprocate – with new contracts slowing and lower expected revenue and margins through the fiscal year ending January 2026. That said, the stock remains up by more than 500 per cent since 2020 – including the year-over-year loss – thanks to management's stellar operational track record. While tariff uncertainty is peaking at the moment, the high likelihood of a reasonable resolution between Canada and the U.S., given that they're commercially tied-at-the-hip, puts the profitable ADF on a path to retracing recent losses, fueled by an over C$400 million backlog as of January 2025. Should you invest in BQE Water, Olympia Financial and ADF Group today? The stocks we've discussed in this article only deserve a place in your portfolio if they match up with your financial goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. Take care to paint a clear picture of your personal financial circumstances and conduct thorough due diligence on a prospective company before putting any money to work.
