The Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive MLP & Energy Infrastructure Index..

The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities of the Solactive MLP & Energy Infrastructure Index, which tracks midstream energy infrastructure MLPs and corporations that principally own and operate pipelines, storage facilities, and other assets used in transporting, storing, gathering, and processing natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, or refined products. The Fund generally uses a replication strategy, investing in index securities in approximately the same proportions as the index, though it may use representative sampling when replication is impractical. The Fund limits MLP investments to 25% of total assets to comply with Subchapter M of the Code, and the Underlying Index limits partnership exposure to comply with tax diversification rules. As of January 31, 2026, the Underlying Index comprised 27 securities concentrated in the oil, gas and consumable fuels industry.

Price vs. Moving Averages

Bullish — 50-DMA above 200-DMA

Price $72.25 is above the 200-day SMA ($65.14); 50-day SMA $73.14. The 50-day SMA sits above the 200-day — an established uptrend, no recent crossover. Moving-average signals are a timing aid, not a recommendation — weigh them against the distribution profile and framework score.
