ETF Shares is an Australian investment management company based in Sydney. The firm specialises in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). It is chaired by Graham Tuckwell, the Australian philanthropist and founder of ETF Securities.
History
[edit]ETF Shares was established by Cliff Man and David Tuckwell, former executives at Global X ETFs (previously ETF Securities Australia). Man leads the business as CEO.[1][2] The company is backed by Graham Tuckwell's venture capital firm, ETFS Capital. Graham Tuckwell serves as the company's chairman.[3]
The firm positioned itself as a "homegrown" challenger to global asset managers that dominate the Australian ETF market, such as Vanguard, BlackRock (iShares), and Global X.[4] The founders stated that their strategy focused on the "adviser-driven" nature of the Australian market, aiming to service financial advisers and retail investors directly.[5]
In May 2025, ETF Shares launched a suite of products on Cboe Australia.[6] The company subsequently expanded its leadership team by hiring William Taylor as Chief Operating Officer (COO), who had previously worked at rival firm Global X.[7]
In November 2025, six months after launching products on Cboe Australia, ETF Shares changed the listing venue of its ETFs to the Australian Securities Exchange, shortly before Cboe announced the sale of its Australian business. In an interview with the Australian Financial Review, the firm's leadership said they felt the Australian government needed to intervene with legislation to facilitate a competitor exchange to the ASX.[8]
Products
[edit]ETF Shares focuses on passive index tracking ETFs. Its initial product launch included three funds focused on the United States equity market:[6]
