Overview
The Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV) is a closed-end trust that invests in unencumbered and fully-allocated London Good Delivery (“LGD”) silver bars.
Our goal is to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors who want to hold physical silver.
Investing in PSLV offers several compelling reasons: you benefit from fully allocated silver bullion, it’s redeemable for metals, secure storage you can trust, potential tax advantages, ease of purchase, sale, and ownership, and the liquidity of your investment.

Silver's Impressive Strength in 2024
BY MARIA SMIRNOVA · 12/17/2024
We believe that silver continues to offer a compelling investment opportunity due to its unique market dynamics. For investors, a diversified portfolio that balances physical assets and mining equities may offer exposure to silver's stability as a store of value and its growth potential as a critical industrial metal.

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.
