Silver has emerged as one of the best-performing commodities over the past three years, driven by a mix of industrial demand, global uncertainty, and inflation hedging. This rally has translated into strong returns for investors through Silver ETF Fund of Funds (FoFs), a convenient route for gaining silver exposure without directly buying ETFs on exchanges.

For investors scouting for low-cost, commodity-based alternatives, several Silver ETF FoFs have delivered over 60% returns in the last three years. But with silver prices already elevated, the key question is whether these funds still deserve attention now.

Top Silver ETF FoFs: Returns, Costs and Size Compared

Fund Name3-Year Return (%)Expense Ratio (%)AUM (₹ crore)
HDFC Silver ETF FoF62.750.18₹3,281
Aditya Birla Sun Life Silver ETF FoF62.640.30₹1,173

Nippon India Silver ETF FoF62.380.26₹3,705
Axis Silver FoF62.280.14₹907

Why Silver ETF FoFs Are Attracting Investors?

  • Strong price momentum: Silver prices have benefited from rising industrial usage (electronics, solar panels) alongside safe-haven demand.
  • Low-cost exposure: Expense ratios remain relatively modest, especially compared with actively managed commodity funds.
  • Ease of investing: FoFs allow investors to gain silver exposure without worrying about ETF liquidity or demat transactions.

Conclusion

Silver ETF FoFs have delivered impressive 60%+ returns over the past three years, supported by a strong rally in silver prices. However, future performance will depend largely on commodity price movements rather than fund-level outperformance. For investors, the decision to invest now should hinge on risk appetite, portfolio allocation needs, and time horizon, rather than past returns alone.
