Gold & silver

Silver miners ETF: equities instead of metal

Buying miners means buying companies, not metal. With largely fixed costs, a rising silver price expands margins faster than the metal moves, and the reverse is equally true.

Physically replicating equity ETF of mining companies

Figures are indicative and checked periodically. Always verify the ISIN, ongoing charges and index in the issuer's latest KID and factsheet before you invest.

Operational leverage

At an all-in cost of $20 and a silver price of $25, a move to $30 doubles the margin on a 20% metal move.

Risks physical silver does not carry

Permits, local politics, strikes, ore grades and equity dilution can leave miners behind the metal even in a good market.

Frequently asked questions

Does it track silver one for one?
