The value of the Fund may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments.The trading price of the Fund’s unit (the “Unit”) on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong is driven by market factors such as demand and supply of the Unit. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value.As part of the securities lending transactions, there is a risk of shortfall of collateral value due to inaccurate pricing of the securities lent or change of value of securities lent. This may cause significant losses to the Fund. The borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all.

Global X Hang Seng TECH ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before deduction of fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the Hang Seng TECH Index (the “Index”).The Fund’s investments are concentrated in companies with a technology theme. Technology companies are often characterised by relatively higher volatility in price performance. Companies in the technology sector also face intense competition, and there may also be substantial government intervention, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins.

The value of the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the technology sector.The Index is subject to concentration risk as a result of tracking the performance of securities incorporated in, or with majority of revenue derived from, or with a principal place of business in, the Greater China region.

This may restrict the Fund’s ability in meeting delivery or payment obligations from realisation requests.The trading price of the Fund unit (the “Unit”) on the SEHK is driven by market factors such as demand and supply of the Unit. Therefore, the Units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value.Dividends may be paid from capital or effectively out of capital of the Fund, which may amount to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment and result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per Unit of the Fund.

Homebuyers can now visualize hyperlocal insights and broader neighborhood trends to find their perfect home

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Realtor.com® announced the launch of dynamic map layers, a set of new map-based search features that allow users to answer classic home-buying questions like “Is this house the best deal on the street?” and “Where can I find the newest homes in a neighborhood?” or “Where are houses selling for a lower price per sqft.?” Now, users can explore multiple ZIP codes and neighborhoods with one quick glance and use this information to find the home they want.

Dynamic map layers deliver a unique zoom and pan experience that shows real-time visualizations of property data and neighborhood insights all in one map. When applied, each layer illustrates search parameters through color shading that represents aggregated data including market trends for a specific area. The shading dynamically adjusts to the property level as the user zooms in, and gets broader as they zoom out, adapting to highlight different data at each zoom level. Users can apply different map layers and access unique Realtor.com® econometric data, like market hotness, to find the best home options based on what they’re looking for.

“Do you remember when you bought your first smartphone and how it completely changed how you use a phone? Dynamic map layers are going to change how people search for homes online,” said Mausam Bhatt, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Realtor.com®. “They are an entirely new pathway to home discovery that allows buyers to answer their most pressing questions with a look at a map. They present data in an interactive way that is easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to make the most informed decisions with – so users can confidently choose the place they call home.”

Seventy-one percent of real estate website/app users think that more visual or map-based features could help them learn more about properties and compare homes more easily, according to a recent survey conducted by Realtor.com®. Ninety percent stated they would value being able to search for “home size” and “home value” via a map on a real estate search sites.

Whether it’s someone with a limited budget searching for the best buy in a specific area; a buyer who wants to understand the market competition of a home in order to make the best offer; or, a buyer who is comparing multiple neighborhoods so they can decide where to invest, Realtor.com® users can dive deeper and explore homes with the following layer options:
