SLVM questions answered
Written from the latest data on this page. General information only, not financial advice.
How diversified is Global X Silver Miners ETF?
Global X Silver Miners ETF holds 39 securities, and its ten largest positions make up 75.7% of the fund, more concentrated than the 35.9% typical of Global ex-Australia equity funds. That makes it fairly concentrated.
Its largest country exposure is United States at 65.4%, based on holdings as at 2 Sept 2026.
Which ETFs does SLVM double up with most?
SLVM shares the most holdings with Betashares Global Gold Miners ETF - Currency Hedged (MNRS) (24% overlap), VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) (20% overlap) and Betashares Energy Transition Metals ETF (XMET) (14% overlap). Overlap is the share of the portfolio the two funds hold in common, looking through to the underlying securities.
None of these overlaps is above half, so pairing SLVM with one of them adds some genuinely different holdings.
How is Global X Silver Miners ETF managed – active or passive?
Global X Silver Miners ETF is passively managed: it follows an index and holds what that index holds, rather than relying on a manager's stock picks.
Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, active funds charge a median 0.75% a year and index funds 0.45%.
What will I pay in fees for SLVM?
SLVM charges a management fee of 0.65% a year, about $65 for every $10,000 invested. Only 27% of the 471 ASX ETFs we track charge more, and the median fee is 0.44%. Among Global ex-Australia equity funds, the median is 0.55%.
Lower-cost funds with a similar focus include Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (VGS) at 0.18%, Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares (Hedged) ETF (VGAD) at 0.21% and iShares Global 100 ETF (IOO) at 0.40%.
If you would rather have a manager choose the investments, active options such as Vinva Global Alpha Fund - Active ETF (V1AC) at 1.35% and Hyperion Global Growth Companies Fund - Active ETF (HYGG) at 0.70% cost more.
The fee is taken from the fund's assets and is already reflected in its returns. You'll also pay brokerage when you buy or sell, and the bid-ask spread, which has averaged 0.57% for SLVM.
Does Global X Silver Miners ETF follow a theme?
No. Global X Silver Miners ETF is a broad equity fund: it aims to cover a wide slice of its market (Global ex-Australia) rather than one theme or sector.
What is under the hood of SLVM?
As at 2 Sept 2026, SLVM's ten largest holdings are Wheaton Precious (23.1%), Coeur Mining Inc (11.4%), Pan Amer Silver (11.2%), Hecla Mining Co (5.1%), First Majestic S (4.7%), Industrias Penol (4.5%), Ssr Mining Inc (4.2%), Fresnillo PLC (4.0%), Or Royalties Inc (3.8%) and Buenaventura-ADR (3.5%). Together they make up 75.6% of the fund.
It follows an index. Most broad share indices weight companies by market size, so the largest companies take the biggest share; the exact rules for SLVM's index are in the issuer's PDS. Its top 10 weighting of 75.7% compares with 35.9% for similar funds.
How well has Global X Silver Miners ETF performed?
Based on its category, Global X Silver Miners ETF aims to grow your capital in line with the index it tracks.
SLVM doesn't have a full year of price history yet, so we can't judge its performance.
Tracking difference is the gap between a fund's return and its index's return. We don't hold index returns, so we can't measure it for SLVM; the issuer reports it in the monthly fact sheet. As a guide, a well-run index fund trails its index by about its fee, here 0.65% a year, and a much bigger gap is a warning sign.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
