William Rhind is the founder and CEO of GraniteShares, an award-winning global investment firm dedicated to creating and managing Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). In 2016, William 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, Mr. Rhind decided to answer that question by launching his own ETF company. This is how GraniteShares was born.
William'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. He is 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.
