Silver Bullion Trust, an all silver fund from the CEF/GTU closed-end fund group, has its roadshow going on now.
Initially it will only be available in Canada. It will trade on the TSX to start, then on the AMEX once it has risen to $75 million of assets which is a similar process used in the introduction of GTU.
It will trade in Canada in both U.S. and Canadian dollars.
The initial offering is reported to be for up to $200 million, so the $75 million threshold could be met immediately depending on the bid size of the deal.
It is expected to price at around US $10 (1 share + 1 $10 warrant) by July 29th.
This could be a interesting alternative to SLV and to CEF for those who wish to invest more heavily in silver.
"O that I could find in the desert a wayside shelter for travelers, that I might depart from my people. For they are all adulterers, an unfaithful mob of traitors. Their tongues are devious weapons, bent like drawn bows. With falsehoods rather than truth they have gained power. They commit one crime after another. They do not know me, says the Lord. I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, the lair of jackals. I will lay waste to Judah, a desolation where no one can live."
Jeremiah 9:2-3,11
