Global X Lowers Risk Rating for Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (TSTX)

Global X Investments Canada has lowered the risk rating of the unhedged units of its Global X 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Bond Index ETF (TSTX) from “Low to Medium” to “Low,” effective October 26, 2026. The adjustment follows the firm's annual risk assessment under Canada's National Instrument 81-102, which evaluates investment risk based on historical return volatility measured over a 10-year period, using reference index data where necessary. The ETF provides exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury bonds with maturities of one to three years. The revised classification reflects the standardized volatility assessment rather than any change to the fund's investment approach. Its objectives and strategies remain unchanged, while the hedged units (TSTX.F) and U.S. dollar units (TSTX.U) retain their existing “Low” risk ratings.
