7 Commodities ETFs to Help Build a Hedge Against Inflation - 2 of 7

 
 

#2 - iShares Silver Trust (NYSEARCA:SLV)

If you’re considering investing in precious metals, silver and gold go together like peanut butter and jelly. And some investors prefer silver because they point to its use in a range of applications. And currently, that includes its demand for semiconductors. Like gold, investors can choose to buy silver in its physical form. However, like gold that comes with limitations.

A popular ETF for investors to consider is the iShares Silver Trust (NYSEARCA:SLV). This is the largest physically-backed silver ETF in operation. It currently has just under $12 billion ($11.93 billion) assets under management (AUM). And the only holding of the fund is silver. Over the last five years, the per-share price of the fund is up 22%. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.50%.
