RE:
Global X Funds (“Trust”) File Nos. 333-151713, 811-22209
 
Post-Effective Amendment No. 15

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is given in connection with the filing by Global X Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (“Trust”), of Post-Effective Amendment No. 15 (“PEA 15”) to the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (“Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”) and Amendment No. 18 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) covering an indefinite amount of securities in the form of shares in each series of the Trust (the “Shares”).

I have examined the following Trust documents: (1) the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, as amended; (2) the Trust’s By-Laws; (3) each of the Registration Statement filings made on behalf of the Trust with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); (4) pertinent provisions of the laws of the State of Delaware; and (5) such other Trust records, certificates, documents and statutes that I  have deemed relevant in order to render the opinions expressed herein.

Based on such examination, I am of the opinion that:

 
1.
The Trust is a statutory trust duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and
 
 
2.
The shares to be offered for sale by the Trust, when issued in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

This letter expresses my opinion as to the Delaware statutory trust law governing matters such as the due organization of the Trust and the authorization and issuance of the Shares, but does not extend to the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the State of Delaware or to federal securities or other laws.
