BetaPro by Global X Expands Canada's Largest Leveraged ETF Suite with 3X & -3X Exposure to U.S. Treasuries, Semiconductors and the S&P/TSX 60™ Français

All BetaPro 3X & -3X ETFs have their management fees rebated to 0.65% until the end of the year TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - Global X Investments Canada Inc. (" Global X" or the " Manager") is announcing the launch of six new ETFs (the " New ETFs") within its BetaPro by Global X (" BetaPro") suite, offering new ways to access three-times (" 3X") and minus three-times (" -3X") exposure to U.S. Treasuries, Semiconductors and the S&P/TSX 60 ™ Index. Units of the ETFs begin trading today on the Toronto Stock Exchange (" TSX") and Cboe Canada Inc. (" Cboe Canada"). BetaPro is the first, largest and longest-running family of leveraged, inverse, and inverse leveraged ETFs in Canada. With more than 17 years of trading in Canada across 38 ETFs, BetaPro by Global X is the Canadian leader in this ETF category. In addition to the launch, the Manager is simultaneously announcing a 50-basis points rebate (the " Rebates") on the New ETFs until December 31, 2025. For the duration of the Rebates, the effective management fee for the New ETFs is 0.65%. " From the global semiconductor boom to the magnitude of U.S. Treasuries, these new launches represent some of the most exciting sectors, indices and asset classes in recent market memory," said Erik Sloane, Executive Vice President, Head of Distribution at Global X. " As part of our mission, we are constantly exploring new ways to empower sophisticated Canadian traders to take advantage of volatility with today's market movers. These latest 3X and -3X launches are our most recent answer and offering to them." More details on the New ETFs are outlined in the table below: The New ETFs are designed to provide daily investment results, before fees, expenses, distributions, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, that endeavour to correspond to 300% of the daily performance of the specified Underlying Index, or 300% of the inverse of the daily performance of the specified Underlying Index. The New ETFs do not seek to achieve their stated investment objective over a period of time greater than one day and are not for investors who do not intend to actively monitor their investments daily. Any U.S. dollar gains or losses as a result of the ETFs' investments will be hedged back to the Canadian dollar to the best of their ability. Currency movements can introduce unwanted noise and reduce the precision of tactical trades. The New ETFs employ currency hedging to seek to neutralize U.S. dollar exposure, providing performance that may more accurately reflect the underlying U.S. equity indices. " When taking a high-conviction position within a volatile sector or asset class, the last thing sophisticated Canadian traders want to see is their expectations and returns distorted by currency fluctuations," said Erik Sloane. " The BetaPro 3X and -3X ETFs stand apart from the competition on this key differentiator with a built-in currency hedge structure, which helps to neutralize U.S. dollar movements. That means the potential for a better trading experience for Canadians." The Rebates are effective upon the launch of the New ETFs. The New ETFs are still subject to operating expenses, which are included in the Management Expense Ratio (" MER") and are still subject to trading costs, which are included in the Trading Expense Ratio (" TER"). The New ETFs closed their initial offering of units to their designated broker and will begin trading today on the TSX and Cboe Canada.

For investor inquiries: Please contact Global X at 1-866-641-5739 (toll-free) or (416) 933-5745 [email protected] 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 Global X Funds include our BetaPro products (the "BetaPro Products"). The BetaPro Products are alternative mutual funds within the meaning of National Instrument 81-102 Investment Funds and are permitted to use strategies generally prohibited by conventional mutual funds: the ability to invest more than 10% of their net asset value in securities of a single issuer, to employ leverage, and engage in short selling to a greater extent than is permitted in conventional mutual funds. While these strategies will only be used in accordance with the investment objectives and strategies of the BetaPro Products, during certain market conditions they may accelerate the risk that an investment in shares of a BetaPro Product decreases in value. The BetaPro Products include the 3x and -3x ETFs and will use leveraged and inverse leveraged investment techniques that can magnify gains and losses and may result in greater volatility of returns. These 3x and -3x ETFs are subject to leverage risk and may be subject to aggressive investment risk and price volatility risk, among other risks, which are described in their prospectus. Each 3x and -3x ETF seeks a return, before fees and expenses, that is equal to either 300% or –300% of the performance of a specified underlying index (the "Target") for a single day. Due to the compounding of daily returns, a 3x and -3x ETF's returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the performance of their respective Target(s) for the same period. Hedging costs charged to BetaPro Products reduce the value of the forward price payable to that ETF. An investment in any of the BetaPro Products is not intended as a complete investment program and is appropriate only for sophisticated investors who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment. Please read the full risk disclosure in the prospectus before investing. Investors should monitor their holdings in BetaPro Products and their performance at least as frequently as daily to ensure such investment(s) remain consistent with their investment strategies.

The Royal Horse Show is proud to announce Ecclestone Horse Transport as Presenting Sponsor of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Toronto

TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2025 /CNW/ - The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is pleased to announce Ecclestone Horse Transport as Presenting Sponsor of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Toronto at the 103rd Royal Horse Show. This world-class competition is the marquee show jumping event at The Royal and the only Canadian qualifier on the Longines FEI World Cup™ circuit. This expanded partnership with Ecclestone Horse Transport marks a milestone for the Canadian company as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Since 2023, EHT has served as Official Transporter of The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, overseeing equine logistics with professionalism and care. This year, the company steps into a more prominent role, reflecting The Royal's shared commitment to excellence in service and long-standing support of equestrian sport in Canada. "The Royal has always been magical for me," said Kyle Ecclestone, President and Founder of Ecclestone Horse Transport. "From childhood memories to now supporting the athletes and horses behind the scenes, it's been a constant throughout my life. Presenting this class during our 10th year is a full-circle moment I'll never forget." Founded in 2015, Ecclestone Horse Transport has become one of the nation's most trusted names in equine transportation, moving horses of all breeds and disciplines across North America and abroad. Built on horsemanship, reliability, and a deep understanding of the sport, EHT plays a critical role behind the scenes at The Royal Horse Show, one of the most prestigious indoor equestrian events in the world. The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Toronto draws many of the world's top-ranked riders to the city, all competing for valuable points toward qualification for The Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ Final.

"Having a Canadian company like Ecclestone Horse Transport so deeply involved in this year's event is a powerful reminder of how homegrown businesses can help shape the future of our sport. Their ongoing commitment to the equestrian community reflects the very spirit of The Royal: tradition, excellence, and connection," said Cyrus Cooper, Chief Executive Officer, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. Steeped in history, The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair has been a Canadian tradition since 1922, when it was founded to unite rural and urban communities in the years following the First World War. Today, it remains a living link to the country's heritage and an essential part of equestrian sport's pathway in Canada, inspiring the next generation to discover horses, take lessons, and one day compete at the highest levels.
