India is not a major silver exporter in pure form, although it exports silver jewellery. In terms of mine production, India is ranked 14th and is ranked third in terms of demand and imports. India imports Silver (unwrought or semi-manufactured) from countries such as China, United Kingdom, Russian Federation, Germany and Rep of Korea, while it exports silver jewellery to countries such as US, Hong Kong, UAE.

Sahifund Verdict:
Edelweiss Silver ETF FoF – Direct Growth is an open-ended commodity fund of fund that invests in units of the Edelweiss Silver ETF, thereby tracking the domestic price of silver. Being a FoF, investors get exposure to silver without directly buying ETF units, making it convenient for small-ticket investments starting at Rs. 100.
Silver has dual characteristics — it is both a precious metal and an industrial metal, which makes its price more volatile compared to gold. Demand is influenced by industrial usage, global economic cycles, currency movements, and geopolitical factors.
While silver can act as a hedge against inflation and currency weakness, its price movements are often sharp and unpredictable, leading to high short-term risk. The presence of a 0.1% exit load for redemptions within 15 days further discourages very short-term positioning.
Fund managers Bharat Lahoti and Bhavesh Jain have solid experience in managing diversified and arbitrage strategies, but as this is a passive FoF, returns will largely depend on silver price movements rather than fund manager skill.
This NFO is not suitable as a core holding. It may be considered only as a small tactical allocation (5% or less) for investors with high risk tolerance looking for commodity diversification.
Sahifund Verdict: ❌
(Use only for diversification; avoid for conservative and long-term core portfolios)
