When it comes to investing in precious metals, global investors opt for gold and silver through the exchange-traded fund (ETF) route. While gold ETFs have been available to Indian investors since March 2007, silver funds were first launched here in January.
Up till now, investors could only invest in silver in the physical form. With silver ETFs, investors need not worry about purity or quality of the underlying asset and it is also free from storage-related hassles.
