William Rhind
William Rhind
Founder & CEO

In 2016, Will Rhind challenged himself to find a way to do things differently. As a 18-year veteran of the ETF industry with experience working at, building and running, well-established successful ETF businesses, he made a keen observation: investing just isn't as exciting as it once was. He asked himself, how do you bring back that excitement?

As an experienced entrepreneur, he decided to answer that question by launching his own ETF company - GraniteShares was born.

Will's focus on disrupting the financial industry has taken GraniteShares from an idea to a successful start-up garnering the attention of Bain Capital and other well-known ETF investors who support his passion to create products that will change the way people see investing.

Will spends his time outside of GraniteShares with his wife and three children. He's on the Board of Directors of the Bath University Foundation, has a passion for classic cars, Manchester United, and travel - especially back to his roots in Aberdeen, Scotland, “The Granite City.” Will has over 25 years of experience in the industry.

Investing in Innovation: A Deep Dive into NVIDIA ETPs Corporate actions such as dividends or right issues do not affect the value of an investor's investment. For instance, after a stock goes ex-dividend, an investor holds the stock and a dividend with a combined value equal to the share price before it went ex-dividend. Similarly, an investor who wants to short a stock needs to borrow it first. If the stock pays a dividend, the borrower needs to compensate the lender for the amount of the dividend, so that the value owed to the lender before and after the stock went ex-dividend remains the same. Leveraged ETP Securities are priced off indices that take into account corporate actions such as dividends or right issues so that there is no impact on the index level when a stock goes ex-dividend or ex-rights (potentially subject to tax).
