Autocallable ETFs Are Here — And You Can Learn About Them Directly From the People Building Them
The structured product industry has been one of the fastest-growing corners of finance for years — but access has always been the problem. High minimums, opaque pricing, limited liquidity, and bank-issued notes with complex terms kept most advisors on the sidelines. That’s changing fast, and I want to make sure you’re in the room when the key players explain exactly how.
GraniteShares is hosting its first-ever Autocallable Income ETF Seminar on Friday, April 10th at the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City — and if you’re an advisor trying to understand how autocallable strategies are being democratized through the ETF wrapper, this is the event to attend.
WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW
Autocallable structured products have historically generated compelling income by linking coupon payments to predefined equity barrier levels rather than traditional interest rate or credit spread dynamics. The problem? They’ve been locked inside structured notes with high fees and limited secondary market liquidity.
GraniteShares changed that in February when they launched TLA (linked to Tesla) and ANV (linked to NVIDIA) — the first single-stock autocallable ETFs in the U.S. market. These funds use a laddered portfolio of autocallable options to seek monthly income, and the early distribution numbers speak for themselves: TLA is currently distributing at an annualized rate north of 20%, while ANV is running above 17%.
Those are not typos.
The key innovation is that unlike owning a single autocallable note with one set of terms and one barrier, TLA and ANV hold diversified portfolios of autocallables with staggered barrier levels and expiration dates — reducing the binary risk that has always made advisors nervous about the structured product space.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN AT THE SEMINAR
The agenda brings together an elite group of structured product practitioners, ETF market makers, and clearing experts for two and a half hours of fireside chats and live Q&A:
The Evolution of the Structured Product Industry
Representatives from Nomura, HSBC, RBC, and Citi discuss how the industry evolved from bank-issued notes to ETF-wrapped strategies — moderated by GraniteShares Founder and CEO Will Rhind.
How Advisors Are Using Autocallables
A practical look at real portfolio use cases and how autocallables are being incorporated into asset allocation — featuring the same panel of major bank structured product desks.
Trading, Liquidity & Clearing — The Plumbing Behind Autocallable ETFs
This is the session most advisors don’t know they need. Representatives from Jane Street, StoneX, and Nomura walk through how these ETFs actually trade — execution, liquidity sourcing, and clearing mechanics. Moderated by Matt Lamb, CAIA of GraniteShares.
Outlook on the Technology Market
A closing session on the current state of the technology sector — directly relevant given that TLA and ANV are linked to Tesla and NVIDIA — followed by live Q&A.
After the panels wrap at 5:30 PM, there’s a drinks reception — arguably where the best conversations happen.
