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.
"A new, invisible and at times virtual, tyranny is established, one which unilaterally and irremediably imposes its own laws and rules. Moreover, indebtedness and credit distance countries from their real economy and citizens from their real buying power. Added to this, as if it were needed, is widespread corruption and selfish fiscal evasion which have taken on worldwide dimensions. The will to power and of possession has become limitless." Francis I, 16 May 2013
