Swisscanto (CH) Silver ETF EA CHF is an exchange-traded fund domiciled in Switzerland that offers investors direct exposure to the price performance of physical silver. Launched on May 9, 2007, it invests exclusively in silver bullion meeting London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery standards, with assets fully backed by physical metal securely stored in Switzerland, eliminating counterparty risk under the Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act. Each unit represents approximately 3 kilograms of silver, enabling share sales at any time or redemption for physical silver bars at a rate of 30 kilograms per unit. Denominated in Swiss Francs with unhedged currency exposure, it tracks the ICE London Silver price index in CHF terms through physical replication and carries a total expense ratio of 0.60% per annum, with annual distributions. Managed by Swisscanto Fondsleitung AG and custodied by Zürcher Kantonalbank, this ETF plays a key role in commodities markets as a diversification instrument, given silver's low correlation to equities and bonds, while serving as a potential inflation hedge.
