It Is Time To Leave SIL And Return To SLV

  • Global X Silver Miners ETF has outperformed due to silver's industrial appeal and a favorable gold-silver ratio, but the SIL/iShares Silver Trust ETF gap is now narrowing. SIL's higher expense ratio (0.65%), greater volatility, and smaller AUM make SLV increasingly attractive for risk-adjusted exposure. Silver is a mining byproduct; in this case, of Canadian companies; therefore, it is partially influenced by Trump's tariff escalation.
