Global X has unveiled its latest fixed income offering, the Global X Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (GXIG), on the NYSE Arca today. This new actively managed fund aims to deliver exposure to high-quality investment-grade corporate bonds. It carries an expense ratio of 0.14%.
According to the prospectus, GXIG invests in a mix of high-yield and investment-grade bonds, including convertible bonds, loan obligations, and asset-backed securities. The fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in foreign bonds from developed and emerging markets.
Technology-Driven Approach
To select the best bonds, GXIG uses two advanced tools developed by Wealthspot LLC: a quantitative model and a deep neural network. These tools group similar bonds together based on things like maturity, industry, and credit rating. Then, they rank the bonds using various factors. These factors include market trends and company financials to help the portfolio managers decide which bonds to buy or sell. The fund is subadvised by Mirae Asset Global Investment’s Joon Hyuk Heo and Young Sang Kim.
GXIG can also invest up to 10% of its assets in derivatives to help manage risk or enhance returns. These derivatives include options and futures.
“The fund addresses growing investor demand for higher-quality fixed income exposure by offering actively managed access to investment grade corporate bonds,” said Pedro Palandrani, head of product research & development at Global X. “As interest rate and credit environments grow more complex, GXIG can help fill the gap by introducing an adaptive, data-driven solution in the fixed income space.”
“Demand for fixed income ETFs has accelerated in 2025 as advisors gain comfort,” noted Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi. “We have seen advisors open to taking on more credit risk. So it is great to see Global X expand its lineup.”
With GXIG, Global X further expands its suite of over 20 core portfolio-building ETFs. The firm manages more than $55 billion in assets across more than 90 ETFs in the U.S.
