ETF Securities

ETF Securities is a pioneering asset management firm and one of the world's leading innovators of exchange-traded products (ETPs). Founded by Australian businessman Graham Tuckwell, the company collaborated with the World Gold Council to develop the first gold ETF in 2003 and listed the first physically-backed gold ETC on the Australian Securities Exchange. Over its history, ETF Securities created Europe's first petroleum ETF (2005), established the world's first commodities ETF platform (2006), and listed the first carbon ETF on the London Stock Exchange (2008). By 2012, the company had over $30 billion in assets under management. In 2018, WisdomTree Investments acquired its European and North American asset management businesses. The remaining Australian business continues to operate independently, issuing ETFs primarily on the Australian Securities Exchange.
