Fund Details

Investment Thesis

SIVR delivers identical physical silver exposure to the much larger SLV fund but charges a 0.30% expense ratio versus SLV's 0.50%, a 40% annual fee reduction. For long-term silver holders this cost difference compounds significantly over multi-year holding periods. abrdn maintains allocated silver bars in JP Morgan's London vaults providing institutional-grade physical custody at a competitive price.

Who It's For

Cost-conscious silver investors who want the same physically-backed silver exposure as SLV but prefer a lower ongoing expense ratio for long-term positions. The 0.20% annual fee savings may seem small but compounds meaningfully for larger positions held over many years. Suitable for investors who have decided to hold silver long-term and want to minimize the total cost of ownership.
