About Global X Funds Global X Interest Rate Hedge ETF (RATE)

Global X Funds Global X Interest Rate Hedge ETF (RATE) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Interest Rate Hedge Index. The fund was launched on July 26, 2012, and is managed by Global X Management Company LLC. RATE is listed on the NYSE Arca and is classified as a diversified fund.

The Solactive Interest Rate Hedge Index is designed to provide exposure to a portfolio of U.S. and international interest rate hedged securities. It is composed of U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. corporate bonds, and international government bonds. The index aims to reduce the interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio by incorporating short positions in U.S. Treasury futures contracts. This strategy helps to hedge against potential interest rate movements, which can negatively impact fixed income investments.
