ETF Innovation Brings Autocallable Strategies To Advisors
Host Ryan Nauman welcomes Will Rhind, founder and CEO of GraniteShares, to discuss ETF innovation, the growth of active ETFs, and the rising use of derivatives in ETFs. Rhind explains how the SEC’s Derivatives Rule (18f-4) helped enable broader derivatives usage in funds, bringing strategies once limited to hedge funds and ultra-high-net-worth investors into ETF wrappers. The conversation focuses on autocallable strategies—popular in structured notes—designed to deliver attractive yield alongside defined downside protection, and why they resonate when markets are near all-time highs and investors prioritize capital preservation. Rhind highlights liquidity as a key advantage of the ETF structure versus traditional structured notes and discusses how advisors may use auto-callable ETFs as complements to fixed income, equity income, or alternatives.
