TORONTO, June 1, 2026 /CNW/ - Global X Investments Canada Inc. ("Global X" or the "Manager") is announcing that effective on or about July 1, 2026,  Mirae Asset Global Investments (USA) LLC ("Mirae Asset USA") will assume the sub-advisory role for the Global X Active Canadian Dividend ETF ("HAL") and the Global X Active Global Dividend ETF ("HAZ" and together, the "ETFs").

In addition, effective July 1, 2026, Global X will also reduce the management fees for the ETFs. The names, tickers and investment objectives for the ETFs will remain the same.

As part of its sub-advisory mandate, Mirae Asset USA will leverage quantitative model services from WealthSpot LLC ("WealthSpot"), an affiliate of Mirae Asset USA and the Manager. These models incorporate machine learning techniques, including deep learning. This A.I.-driven analysis combined with human oversight seeks to deliver returns for unitholders.

In addition to the upcoming sub-advisory mandates for HAZ and HAL, Mirae Asset USA is also the sub-advisor to the Global X Active U.S. Dividend ETF ("DIVY"), which launched on May 27, 2026. WealthSpot's technology is currently also used by Mirae Asset USA in relation to its sub-advisory mandates, including in the United States.

"We are excited to take on the role of sub-advisor to these funds, utilizing WealthSpot's proprietary A.I. technology and deep portfolio management expertise for their unitholders," said Ryan Coyle, Senior Portfolio Manager at Mirae Asset USA. "Our focus on total return, alongside our experience on dividend strategies will be a strong complement to the ongoing management of these ETFs."

The ETFs are both actively managed dividend-focused mandates, with combined assets under management of more than $650 million, as of April 30, 2026. Additional details about the ETFs are provided in the table below. There are no changes to the names, tickers or investment objectives of the ETFs in connection with the sub-advisor change. Further information about the sub-advisor change will be provided in an amendment to the prospectus of the ETFs.

Since their inception in 2010, both ETFs have been sub-advised by Guardian Capital LP ("Guardian Capital"), a Toronto-based asset manager. Guardian Capital will cease to be sub-advisor to these ETFs at close of business on June 30, 2026.

"Today we welcome the future of these ETFs with Mirae Asset USA and WealthSpot," said Rohit Mehta, President & CEO of Global X. "Their pioneering and experienced portfolio management team harnesses cutting-edge A.I. technology and is backed by the trillion-dollar expertise and reach of Mirae Asset USA. Investors in HAL and HAZ will continue to enjoy Global X's offering of an intelligent and differentiated approach to dividend investment that can fuel their portfolio's growth and income needs, now at a lower cost to invest than ever before."
