Just like gold, silver has an intrinsic value that can never be lost through time and the unfolding of events. Both metals have demonstrated a positive correlation with inflation, gaining value when inflation is high. Historically, just like gold, the price of silver goes up in times of financial downturns.

This makes investing in silver an effective diversifier, protecting your assets from the volatility of stocks, bonds, and similar investments.

Investing in silver may be done through paper shares, such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs), future-based mutual funds, and others. However, if you’re looking to hedge your investments and realize substantial gains in the long term, we recommend investing in physical silver.

Silver is available in bullion in the form of coins, bars and rounds. Bullion is the most recommended investment type as it is portable and easy to store and handle. Silver bullion coins also come with a nominal value that makes them legal tender and can thus be transported across international borders.

Exclusive Assets like the Silver Polar Bear, Arctic Fox, and Polar Bear & Cub are the recommended investment because they are the only pure Silver .9999, direct from a mint (RCM) brilliant uncirculated, white glove handled asset that has the additional feature of exemption from broker reporting requirements.

Here are some reasons why investing in silver makes good financial sense.

Silver is money

For centuries, gold and silver have been used as currency around the world. To this day, both silver and gold may still be legally used as money.

Silver and gold are both very durable metals that can withstand excessive handling and transport. This makes them ideal for international commerce.

Silver is an essential commodity

As a precious metal, silver is very durable and can be expected to last for decades. It is also highly malleable, is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, and is highly resistant to corrosion – properties that make it useful for numerous applications across various industries. This helps drive the demand for silver and ensure its worth through time, especially since silver used for industrial purposes is less recyclable than gold.

Silver is more affordable than gold

Investing in silver requires less money than investing in gold. With the precious metal’s considerably lower cost, investors can get much more silver than gold for the same amount of money.

Silver is currently undervalued

The market has always tracked the value of gold in respect to the value of silver through the gold-to-silver ratio. In recent times, this ratio has been trending upwards of 60:1, way above the traditional ratio of 15:1. The prevailing ratio is not supported by the ratio of global silver reserves to global gold reserves of 10:1, pointing to the conclusion that silver is currently undervalued.

As more silver is being used for industrial and investment purposes and supply goes down, the gold-to-silver ratio is expected to come down significantly and come closer to its traditional level. The value of gold is not projected to come down given the current trends. This means there’s a very good chance that investing in silver can yield good returns in the future as the metal’s price increases to reflect its true worth.

Redeeming paper silver

Investing in silver may be done through paper shares rather than physical ownership. It’s estimated that silver is trading at 1.1 billion ounces a day through paper assets like ETFs. This is much higher than the actual physical output of only 1.3 million ounces of silver a day. This means that when investors redeem their paper shares in actual silver, the demand for silver could rise dramatically and drive the price up.
