Zerodha Fund House has launched the Zerodha Silver ETF, an open-ended exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to track domestic silver prices, amid growing investor interest in precious metals. With silver prices rising sharply in recent months, this ETF provides investors a structured way to gain exposure to silver’s price movements.

Silver ETF Subscription Details

• Launch Date: March 10, 2025
• Closing Date: March 18, 2025
• Minimum Investment: ₹1,000, with additional investments in multiples of ₹1,000
• Initial Net Asset Value (NAV): ₹10 per unit (1/10,000th of silver’s per kg price)

Why Invest in Silver ETF?

Silver has demonstrated strong price performance, gaining 15% in 2024 and adding 11% in early 2025. Analysts attribute this rally to declining US interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and shifting trade policies.

Commenting on the launch, Vishal Jain, CEO of Zerodha Fund House, stated:

“Silver has the potential to play a role in both investment portfolios and modern industries. Our Silver ETF provides investors with a valuable tool to diversify their portfolios and capitalize on the metal's unique characteristics.”

Investment Objective and Asset Allocation

• 5-100% in silver and silver-related instruments
• 0-5% in debt, money market instruments, cash, and cash equivalents

Vaibhav Jalan, CBO of Zerodha Fund House, highlighted silver’s growing demand in technology and clean energy sectors, making it a potentially lucrative investment.

Risk and Suitability

• Very High Risk: The ETF is classified as very high risk, as per the Risk-o-meter of both the scheme and benchmark (domestic silver prices).
• Investors are advised to consult financial advisors before investing.
