Silver prices have risen over 14%, even besting its more expensive precious metal brethren gold. As silver demand increases, mining output will likely to rise alongside its uptrending prices.
“Mining output will rise 2% and scrap recycling will rise 5% on Metals Focus’ outlook,” noted BullionVault.
Additional Catalyst: Lack of Supply
An additional catalyst for higher prices is the lack of supply that won’t meet rising global demand in the coming years. In addition to serving as a precious metal, silver is also lauded for its electrical conductivity. As the shift from fossil fuels to alternative energy sources like electricity continues, demand will get an additional push.
“Silver is to outperform all precious metals in 2025,” a LBMA Forecast Survey noted.
Given the potential, consider the Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (SLVR ). The fund tracks the performance of the Nasdaq Sprott Silver Miner Index, which mimics the performance of the industry including producers, developers, and explorers, as well as silver itself.
Myriad Compelling Reasons for PSLV
With tailwinds blowing behind the white metal, consider getting pure exposure via the Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV ). The fund provides exposure to the precious metal without the additional hassle of storing it. It invests in unencumbered and fully allocated London good delivery bars. Additionally, shareholders can redeem their shares for physical bullion anywhere in the world (subject to certain minimum conditions) if they want a more tangible investment experience.
“Investing in PSLV offers several compelling reasons: you benefit from fully allocated silver bullion, it’s redeemable for metals, secure storage you can trust, potential tax advantages, ease of purchase, sale, and ownership, and the liquidity of your investment,” noted Sprott on PSLV’s product website.
Meshed Gold & Silver Exposure
The white metal’s prices have been rising alongside gold. But investors may want the exposure benefits of both. On one hand, silver can provide the benefit of being an industrial metal. On the other, gold offers investors a store of value. Investors can mesh the benefits of both using the Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust CEF.
CEF offers a diversified path to precious metal exposure. Additionally, it gives investors the growth component of silver as clean energy technology demand increases. It also derives gold’s benefits when the dollar falters. That can be an ideal hedge when the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates.
Secure, Convenient, Exchange-Traded Alternative
CEF is a closed-end trust that invests in unencumbered and fully allocated physical gold and silver bullion in LGD bar form. Overall, CEF aims to provide a secure, convenient, and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors wanting to hold physical gold and silver without the inconvenience typical of a direct investment in physical bullion.

Funds that emphasize investments in small/mid-cap companies will generally experience greater price volatility. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of investment losses. ETFs are considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow an individual to trade throughout the day. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses, affect the Fund’s performance.
