Global X E‑commerce

ETF description

This ETF focuses on companies that play a key role in e‑commerce, which involves buying and selling products and services online. The fund includes businesses that operate online marketplaces, provide digital payment systems, or offer logistical support for online retail, such as shipping and delivery services. E‑commerce has grown rapidly as more consumers shop online, drawn by convenience and access to a wide range of products.
