Global X Cuts Fees and Shifts Dividend ETFs to AI-Driven Sub-Advisor

Global X will appoint Mirae Asset USA as sub-advisor for the Active Canadian Dividend ETF (HAL) and Active Global Dividend ETF (HAZ) effective July 1, 2026, replacing long-time manager Guardian Capital. The change introduces WealthSpot’s AI-powered quantitative models, combined with human oversight, to support portfolio management. At the same time, management fees will be reduced to 0.35% from 0.55% for HAL and to 0.50% from 0.65% for HAZ. The ETFs’ names, tickers, and investment objectives remain unchanged, while the two funds oversee more than $650 million in combined assets.
