Comparative Analysis of Global Silver Mining ETFs
- Cost Structure Differences: The iShares MSCI Global Silver and Metals Miners ETF (SLVP) offers a lower expense ratio of 0.39% compared to Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) at 0.65%, making SLVP more appealing to cost-sensitive investors while providing a higher dividend yield of 1.3% versus SIL's 0.9%.
- Portfolio Composition: Launched 15 years ago, SIL holds 42 stocks primarily focused on Canadian mining companies like Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., which accounts for over 20% of its assets, while SLVP emphasizes Mexican mining firms, despite both ETFs having the same number of holdings.
- Risk and Return Comparison: Over the past five years, SIL and SLVP experienced maximum drawdowns of -55.63% and -55.56%, respectively, with growth of $1,000 amounting to $2,945 for SIL and $2,592 for SLVP, indicating similar risk management but slightly better performance for SLVP.
- Market Volatility Impact: Given that silver is estimated to be three times more volatile than gold, investors should be cautious of the risks both ETFs may face during significant price fluctuations, although they have benefited from the meteoric rise in silver prices in 2025 and early 2026.
