SLV

The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is a single‑asset fund that holds physical silver bullion, stored in secure vaults, giving investors exposure to the global precious‑metal market without purchasing the metal directly. Its strategy is to track the spot price of silver as closely as possible, using a physically‑backed, “vanilla” approach that reflects the price of the metal less the trust’s expenses and liabilities. Because it holds no equities or diversified holdings, the fund’s performance moves almost one‑for‑one with silver prices, making it appropriate for investors seeking a liquid, commodity‑focused position for diversification, inflation‑hedge, or tactical exposure to silver’s industrial and safe‑haven demand.
