Overview

The Sprott Physical Gold and Silver Trust (CEF) was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical gold and silver bullion.

Our goal is to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors who want to hold physical gold and silver without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical gold bullion.

Investing in CEF offers several compelling reasons: you benefit from fully allocated gold and silver, redeemable for metals, secure storage you can trust, potential tax advantages, ease of purchase, sale, and ownership, and the liquidity of your investment.

Gold’s Post-Election Correction Comes as No Surprise

BY EDWARD BONNER · 12/05/2024
We see gold's post-election pullback as a healthy consolidation, affirming our bullish outlook. Post-election market dislocations, historically tied to political outcomes, may present a strategic buying opportunity in precious metals and mining equities.

How to Obtain Physical Certificates

In the United States, shareholders can contact the Computershare call center at 800.446.2617 or go to computershare.com and access a transfer form by creating an account.

In Canada, shareholders can direct their broker to withdraw units from CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. When the broker puts in the withdrawal, the transfer agent in Canada, TSX Trust Company, will issue physical certificates to the broker.

How to Hold Units in Your Name

Once you have purchased Trust units through a third-party financial professional, the Direct Registration System (DRS) option gives you the ability to transfer the units you own from your broker to the Trust's transfer agents (Computershare for U.S. unitholders and TSX Trust Company for Canadian unitholders). DRS is the electronic or book-entry form of security ownership offered by and only through transfer agents and allows a unitholder to hold Trust units in that holder’s name directly as opposed to electronic security ownership through a broker. The DRS option went into effect on October 5, 2017, for unitholders of each of the Trusts (read press release).

How to Redeem for Physical Bullion

Sprott Physical Bullion Trust unitholders have the right to redeem for physical metals on a monthly basis, subject to meeting the minimum redemption amount. To submit a request for physical redemption, a unitholder must complete the required redemption form for the specific Trust from which they wish to redeem units.
