GRANITESHARES FINANCIAL PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The directors present the Annual Report and the audited financial statements of Graniteshares Financial Public Limited
Company (the "Company") for the financial year ended 30 June 2025.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Company is a public limited company, incorporated in Ireland on 17 July 2017, in accordance with the laws of
Ireland with a registration number 608059.
The Company has been formed for the purpose of issuing collateralised exchange traded products (“ETP Securities” or
(“ETPs”)) and entering into a fully funded Swap agreements. Commercial activity commenced in September 2019 with
the ETP Securities initially listed on the London Stock Exchange for trading on the secondary market.
The Company established a Collateralised ETP Securities Programme under which the Company issues, on an ongoing
basis, collateralised exchange traded products of different classes (each a “Class”) linked into indices providing exposure
to a range of asset classes including equities, commodities, fixed income and currencies. The ETP Securities may have
long or short, leveraged or unleveraged, exposure to the daily performance of the referenced index.
Each Class constitutes limited recourse obligations of the Company, secured on and payable solely from the assets
constituting the ETP Securities in respect of such Class. Each Class of ETP Securities may comprise one or more
tranches.
The ETP Securities have been listed for trading on the London Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the “Italian Stock
Exchange”) and Deutsche Borse (the "Frankfurt Stock Exchange"). The Company uses the net proceeds of the issuance
of the ETP Securities to enter into Total Return Swap Transactions (“TRSs”) to hedge its payment obligations in respect
of each Class of the ETP with one or more Swap Providers once the Swap Provider has delivered eligible collateral. The
TRS for each Class of ETP Securities will produce cash flows to service all of the Company’s payment obligations in
respect of that Class.
As at financial year ended 30 June 2025, there were 65 ETPs in issuance (2024: 109 ETPs). The purchases over the
financial year amounted to €425,059,067 (2024: €201,188,492) with sales of €441,319,278 (2024: €264,002,053).
Cash flows are a result of subscriptions and redemptions of ETP securities and expenses incurred. A movement on
collateral does not generate a cash flow. The proceeds of the issuance of a tranche of ETP Securities of a Class will be
paid by the Company to one or more of the Swap Providers with whom the Company has entered by the Company in
relation that Class in proportion to the increase in the number of ETP Securities of that Class then outstanding.
The Company’s payment obligations in respect of the ETP Securities of a Class will be covered entirely from payments
received by the Company from the Swap Providers in respect of such TRS. Pursuant to the terms of each credit support
document, the Company will be obliged to pay amounts equal to each distribution made on collateral held by it to the
relevant Swap Provider upon receipt.
The ETP Securities do not bear interest at a prescribed rate. The return (if any) on the ETP Securities shall be calculated
in accordance with the redemption provisions. The Classes of ETP Securities are disclosed in note 11.
The issuing and purchasing activity of ETP Securities by the Company reflects the demand and supply from market
participants and investors. There are several factors that will impact by the supply and demand from market participants
and investors, among them are (not exhaustive list):
• the general market trends, in particular the existence of a trend which may occur across the market or sector specific,
• the market volatility, in particular volatility spikes,
• Portfolio reallocation across specific names or sectors to express tactical allocation,
• the existence of competitor products,
• the ability for market participants to be involve is supporting the liquidity in the ETP Securities.
Over the financial year ending 30 June 2025, the Company continued to witness significant involvement from investors
and market participants across its ETP Securities. The continuous interest in artificial intelligence and similar themes has
translated in strong financial performances these areas, which has resulted in continuous tactical reallocations by
investors in the ETP Securities. That has generated subscriptions €425,059,067 (2024: €201,188,492) and redemptions
€ 441,319,278 (2024: €264,002,053) activity by the Company.
There were no acquisitions of own shares by the Company during the financial year (2024:nil).
The Company does not have any branches.
The principal financial risks and uncertainties facing the Company during the financial year relate to the financial
instruments held by it and are set out in note 14 to the financial statements and the Company expects the nature of these
risks and uncertainties to remain the same for the foreseeable future.
