Indian
Mutual funds (MFs) have lifted restrictions on investments in silver
exchange-traded fund (ETF) fund-of-fund (FoF) schemes as supply constraints
have eased and premiums in the silver market have normalised.
Tata Mutual
Fund..!
Tata Mutual
Fund said it had resumed taking lumpsum investments into its silver FoF.
“Considering
the normalisation of market conditions, it has been decided to resume all
lumpsum investments, switch-ins, and new SIP/STP registrations into the scheme
effective October 24, 2025,” it said.
Other
fund houses follow suit
Other
fund houses that had closed their ETF FoFs citing market dislocation have also
opened their schemes for fresh investments. Since October 20, Aditya Birla Sun
Life, HDFC, Kotak, and Axis have lifted the restrictions.
Silver
premiums..!
Silver
ETFs had traded at premiums of 5% to10% for five straight sessions starting
October 9, 2025 after global silver prices crossed the $50-per-ounce mark. The
gap, caused by a global shortage of physical silver, led several fund houses to
temporarily stop taking new inflows into their silver fund-of-funds.
However,
the premiums settled soon after as the supply shortage eased.
The
demand has also moderated, according to analysts, as prices have corrected
globally. Silver ETF prices are down over 20% from their all-time highs
achieved on 2025 October 15.
