Why invest in silver:
A promising metal
With investment and industry demand growing, silver can be an interesting purchase for many savers and investors. Learn why.
Why buy silver?
Reasons people buy physical silver
An affordable metal
Silver is an affordable precious metal compared to gold: which is what often makes it a first choice for many savers and investors as they can buy more silver for the same price.
Demand is expected to rise
General demand for silver, both from industries and investors, is expected to continue rising in the coming years, thanks to its use in tech and as a protection against inflation and economic downturns.
A good way to diversify
Silver, like gold, is seen as a protection against inflation and is often used as a way to diversify one’s portfolio. Its growing industrial use can also make it interesting in times of economic growth.
Exceptional properties
As an adaptable metal with exceptional conducive and reflective properties, silver is increasingly used as a key component in green and sustainable technologies.
Is now a good time to invest in silver?
A more volatile metal with long-term potential
Less talked about than gold for long-term investment, silver can be a powerful asset in a diversified portfolio.

Silver, much like gold, is often used as a safe haven in times of crisis and inflation.
Its use in industries also make it an interesting asset during periods of economic growth.
Investment demand for silver has been on the rise since 2016.

Silver is becoming a key element in green and tech industries (electronics, solar energy, batteries, electric vehicles, etc.)
As such, silver’s industrial demand is expected to grow further in the coming years. This growth along with rising investment demand, could help sustain a higher silver price.

Because of its dual demand, the price of silver tends to fluctuate on the short term, usually more than gold, for example. This higher volatility can potentially bring short-term profits for investors ready to take on some risks.
But its constantly growing industrial use and general demand also make it an interesting long-term addition to any portfolio alongside gold.

Before buying,
check your country’s VAT rate on silver
When you buy silver, most countries will apply VAT as silver is considered an industrial product, unlike gold, for example.

In Switzerland, when buying and storing silver, you will pay 8.1% VAT. However, other countries can charge much higher rates, with 20% VAT in France and the UK, 19% in Germany, or 22% in Italy.
