Impactful Policy Frameworks
SEC Rule 6c-11 (2019)
This rule, adopted by the SEC in 2019, provides a standardized regulatory framework for all ETFs, simplifying the approval process for new ETFs and allowing for more innovative product structures.
This rule streamlines product development for Global X ETFs, allowing them to bring new, innovative funds to market more quickly and efficiently.
Proposed SEC Climate Disclosure Rule (2022/2024)
The SEC proposed rules in 2022 (finalized in early 2024 with some adjustments) requiring public companies to disclose climate-related information, including greenhouse gas emissions, which impacts ESG-focused funds.
This policy increases data availability and transparency for Global X's thematic growth ETFs focused on sustainable investing, aiding due diligence and marketing efforts for ESG-conscious investors.
DOL Fiduciary Rule (Various Iterations, Latest Proposed 2023)
The Department of Labor (DOL) has proposed new rules (most recently in 2023) expanding the definition of 'investment advice fiduciary' under ERISA, impacting how financial professionals recommend investments to retirement savers.
This rule will likely increase demand for cost-effective, transparent ETF solutions from financial advisors seeking to meet higher fiduciary standards, benefiting Global X's offerings.
