Sprott Physical Silver Trust is a closed-end mutual fund trust. The Trust was created to invest and hold substantially all of its assets in physical silver bullion. The Trust's investment objective is to provide a secure, convenient and exchange-traded investment alternative for investors interested in holding physical silver bullion without the inconvenience that is typical of a direct investment in physical silver bullion. The Trust invests primarily in long-term holdings of unencumbered, fully allocated, physical silver bullion and does not speculate with regard to short-term changes in silver prices. The PSLV stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the PSLV stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2019 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the PSLV annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
