SLV

The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is a commodity‑focused ETF that holds physical silver bullion, with the metal stored in secure vaults and each share representing a fractional ownership interest in that silver. Its strategy is straightforward: purchase and retain physical silver to mirror the day‑to‑day price movements of spot silver, providing investors a simple, cost‑efficient way to gain exposure without dealing with the logistics of buying and storing the metal themselves. Because the fund’s performance tracks the price of the metal rather than any corporate earnings, it is suited to investors looking for direct commodity exposure, diversification away from equities, or a potential inflation hedge within a broader portfolio.
