An ETF issuer is the entity responsible for creating, registering, and managing an ETF. The issuer is typically a financial institution, such as an asset management company or a specialized ETF provider.

To do this, the ETF issuer collaborates with various service providers, including trustees, advisers, and distributors, to bring the ETF to market successfully.
