Frequently
Asked Questions.

ETF View is an independent industry forum convened by Ultumus that brings together senior operational leaders from across the ETF ecosystem – Authorised Participants, Transfer Agents, Security Services providers, Asset Managers, and ETF Issuers – to collaborate on operational best practices, share insights, and collectively address infrastructure challenges.

As ETF markets have grown exponentially, operational infrastructure has struggled to keep pace. ETF View provides a collaborative space where practitioners can move beyond competitive concerns to address shared challenges, establish industry standards, and shape the evolution of ETF infrastructure.

ETF View is specifically focused on operational infrastructure rather than investment strategy or product development. We maintain deliberately focused membership to ensure productive dialogue, operate under Chatham House Rule to encourage candid discussion, and prioritise actionable outcomes over theoretical debate.

ETF View is convened by Ultumus, a SIX company, providing ETF infrastructure services. While Ultumus organises the forum, ETF View operates independently with all participants having equal voice regardless of commercial relationships.

ETF View is open to senior operational leaders from organisations actively involved in the ETF ecosystem, including ETF issuers, Authorised Participants, Market Makers, Transfer Agents, and service providers supporting creation/redemption, launch operations, or settlement. We deliberately maintain a focused membership to ensure productive dialogue. If your organisation fits this profile, we welcome you to express interest through our contact form.
