How it works

Same as Gold ETF mechanics: AMC holds physical silver; ETF units track price.

When silver in portfolio?

  • Diversification beyond gold for precious metal exposure.
  • Industrial demand correlation (electronics, solar).
  • Higher volatility than gold (smaller market).

Risk

  • More volatile than gold.
  • Industrial demand cyclicality.
  • Storage / purity outsourced to AMC custodian (good for investors).

For most retail portfolios, silver is a small (5-10%) allocation alongside gold.
