GraniteShares

Overview

GraniteShares is an entrepreneurial ETF provider focused on providing innovative, cutting edge alternative investment solutions.  It was founded in 2016 by William “Will” Rhind, a well-known figure in the ETF industry, with backing from Bain Capital Ventures and other leading ETF investors.

GraniteShares listed its first ETFs in the United States in 2017 and its US ETF offering consists of commodities, including physically-backed gold, as well as income from high-yielding assets plus a US large cap index that screens out the companies likely to underperform.

In 2019, GraniteShares officially launched its European business in London to develop a new category of Exchange Traded Product (ETP): collateralised, short and leveraged exposure to single stocks.

The initial listings are listed on the London Stock Exchange and feature exposures to a range of blue chip companies listed in the UK.

GraniteShares product capabilities in Europe range from short and leveraged single stock ETPs through to the creation of bespoke, focused collateralised baskets to meet the specific investor requirements.   These can be thematic, e.g. global renewables, or sector focused, UK banks.
