Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (NYSE Arca: CEF)
CEF provides investors with exposure to physical gold and silver at a time when demand is high, causing excessive premiums on coins and bars.
Don’t Overpay for Gold and Silver
Supply shortages of physical gold and silver are pushing up premiums on precious metals coins and bars. The Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (NYSE Arca: CEF), is a popular, alternative way to gain exposure to precious metals. It provides the convenience of direct ownership without the costs of storage and insurance, as well as the daily liquidity of an exchange traded security.

Important Disclosure
Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (the “Trust”) is a closed-end fund established under the laws of the Province of Ontario in Canada. The Trust is available to U.S. investors by way of a listing on the NYSE Arca pursuant to the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940.
The Trust is generally exposed to the multiple risks that have been identified and described in the prospectus. Please refer to the prospectus for a description of these risks. Relative to other sectors, precious metals and natural resources investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage, and liquidity should also be considered.
Gold and precious metals are referred to with terms of art like store of value, safe haven, and safe asset. These terms should not be construed to guarantee any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds, and cash generally do not carry a high risk of loss relative to other asset classes, any asset may lose value, which may involve the complete loss of invested principal.
