The product structure reduces the difficulties of buying, storing and insuring physical silver for investors. NAV for the fund is determined using the LBMA PM Silver Price (formerly the London PM Silver Fix), so the prices reflect the current spot market values, priced in USD. The majority of the Bullion owned by the fund will be held vaults located in Canada, with the remaining held in the United States of America and/or the United Kingdom.
