New Silver Fund


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.
