HDFC Silver ETF and Kotak Silver ETF delivered 31.78% each in the mentioned period. Tata Silver ETF gave the lowest return of 30.54% in 2025 so far. In other words, all funds delivered more than 30% return in 2025 so far. Post this rally in Silver, an expert recommends betting on this rally through multi-asset allocation funds wherein the fund manager may take exposure at his discretion.
'Should be considered but as Multi Asset Allocation wherein the fund manager may allocate a higher percentage allocation to commodities (Gold, Silver, etc) depending on the view,' Rajesh Minocha, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Founder of Financial Radiance, shared with ETMutualFunds.According to a report by ETMarkets, Silver September futures contracts hit a new all-time high of Rs 1,16,275/kg, having surged by Rs 620 or 0.53% and Gold and silver extended their gains amid the approaching U.S. trade tariff deadline. 'The U.S. President already warned of imposing higher trade tariffs on U.S. trade partners if a trade deal is not finalized before August 1,' the report added.On Wednesday, according to data available on NSE, silver ETFs rallied up to 1.39% with the UTI Silver ETF witnessing the highest surge. Mirae Asset Silver ETF surged by 1.37% and DSP Silver ETF jumped by 1.05%.According to another expert, market concerns grew over the potential for these levies, scheduled to take effect on August 1, to spill into broader trade relations, even though silver remains exempt under the current US-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
'Earlier gains in silver had been fuelled by tightening physical supply and soaring lease rates in London, where a surge in ETF holdings, up by around 2,570 tonnes since February, has reduced the pool of available metal. The one-month annualized lease rate exceeded 6%, a stark deviation from the near-zero norm, signaling deepening physical market strain,' Riya Singh – Research Analyst, Commodities and Currency, Emkay Global Financial Services

The counterpart - gold ETFs have offered an average return of 29.36% in the current calendar year so far and delivered up to 29.81% return in the same period. Singh believes that despite the retreat, silver is still up 32% year-to-date, outperforming gold's 27% rise, and the gold-silver ratio has dropped to 86 from its 10-year average of 80, indicating silver remains relatively undervalued.

Want to invest Rs 1 lakh when you are young? Here is Raamdeo Agrawal's Warren Buffett-style blueprint to compound wealth
Raamdeo Agrawal urges young investors to avoid rushing into markets without understanding value. Learning to identify price-value gaps and mastering patience are key, he says, citing Buffett's wisdom and his own early investing lessons. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads At 30, pick a lane: Professional or Passive? Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Everybody knows the price, nobody knows the value India and the U.S. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads If you're 20 years old and sitting on Rs 1 lakh, Motilal Oswal co-founder Raamdeo Agrawal has one piece of advice: don't do anything till you understand it. That, he says, is among the best lessons he's learned from Warren Buffett, and it applies to both investing and a conversation on Groww's investor podcast released on YouTube, the Motilal Oswal Financial Services co-founder urged young investors to resist the pressure to act without clarity. Agrawal said most 20-year-olds underestimate how little they know about the market. 'At the age of 20, what you don't know is a lot of things… So when you see value–price gap, you will have a, what do you call, limited understanding of it.'He recalled his own investing debut, a hostel tip-off that turned into a three-bagger. 'I bought it 15 bucks, and in a year, two years' time, it became 45 bucks,' he said, noting he was around 22 at the time. 'Those kinds of breaks will happen.'Asked where Rs 1 lakh should go at 30, Agrawal said it depends on whether you want to master the game or outsource it.'If I want to make a career in investing… then you should go to the stock market and figure out what is the value, what is the price, what is the earnings growth, what is the RoE, what is the momentum. I mean, it's a full-time job, and it has become very competitive.'Otherwise, 'go and give your money to one of the fund managers and be happy with it.'Agrawal didn't hold back on what he sees as the pitfalls of post-COVID market behaviour. 'Out of 200 million demat accounts, 160 million is less than 5 years… they have no clue what they are buying and selling... (post COVID)… market is very impatient,' he stressed that understanding intrinsic value is the core skill. 'Everybody knows the price. Nobody knows the value. Once you master the formula to discover value, investing becomes simple.'And the real reward, he added, lies in spotting mispriced opportunity. 'Is the return gap between price and value… is it asymmetric? We are looking for asymmetric... Asymmetricity in the return — that's the excitement in the market.'Agrawal dismissed market timing as a flawed strategy. 'Not buying at the bottom is a crime if at all you are trying to time the market,' he said. 'By the time you muster the courage to enter, you've already missed 40% of the upmove.'He advised investors to look beyond narrative and into balance sheets. 'I go straight to 23 financial ratios,' he said. 'If two companies are equally profitable, but one collects its dues in 10 days while the other takes 90 days, the difference is huge.'Despite growing global uncertainty, Agrawal believes India is one of the only two countries in the world, alongside the United States, where macroeconomic growth consistently flows into long-term equity returns. 'There are 170 markets, but only these two allow for extrapolation of economic growth into stock performance,' he said.'India,' he said, 'is more predictable than the U.S.': Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

Mumbai-based ARCIL was the second most profitable ARC in India in FY24 with a standalone profit of Rs 305.34 crore, and the second largest by assets under management (AUM) at Rs 15,230 crore. It had the second largest net worth among private ARCs in India at Rs 2,462.5 crore on a standalone basis as on March 31, 2024, according to the report. As of March 31, 2025, it had acquired total principal debt of Rs 72,657 crore at a cost of Rs 38,156 crore or 52.51 per cent of the total principal debt and made recoveries of Rs 28,460 crore and the company's total borrowings stood at Rs 305.99 crore. ARCIL competes with the likes of Edelweiss ARC, Phoenix, JM Financial ARC, ACRE and Omkara.

The shares of the company are proposed to be listed on the BSE and NSE. PTI HG ANU view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 14:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
