Mirae Asset Launches Silver ETF Fund of Fund for Investors 2026

Mirae Asset Mutual Fund has introduced a new investment option for investors looking to gain exposure to silver through the mutual fund route. The company has launched the Mirae Asset Silver ETF Fund of Fund (FoF), an open-ended scheme designed to invest primarily in units of the Mirae Asset Silver ETF. This new fund aims to make investing in silver simpler and more accessible for retail investors who prefer mutual fund products over holding physical metal.

The New Fund Offer (NFO) for the Mirae Asset Silver ETF FoF opened on March 5, 2026, and will remain open for subscription until March 18, 2026. After the NFO period ends, the scheme is expected to reopen for regular investments and redemptions starting March 25, 2026. Investors can begin investing with a minimum amount of ₹5,000, and additional investments can be made in multiples of ₹1 thereafter.

A Simple Way to Invest in Silver

The newly launched fund provides an indirect way to invest in silver. Instead of purchasing and storing physical silver, investors can participate in the silver market through this mutual fund structure. The fund primarily invests in the Mirae Asset Silver ETF, which tracks silver prices. This approach allows investors to benefit from price movements in silver while enjoying the transparency and regulatory framework of mutual funds.

The scheme will be managed by experienced fund managers Ritesh Patel and Akshay Udeshi, who will oversee the portfolio and ensure the fund follows its investment strategy.

Why Silver Is Attracting Investor Interest

Silver is considered a unique asset because it serves two major roles in the global economy. On one hand, it is a precious metal, often used as a store of value and an alternative investment during uncertain economic conditions. On the other hand, it is also widely used in industrial applications such as electronics, solar panels, electric vehicles, and manufacturing industries.

Because of these dual uses, the demand and price of silver are influenced by several factors including industrial growth, global economic conditions, currency movements, and investment demand. Experts believe that the growing use of silver in renewable energy and technology sectors may continue to support long-term demand.

Factors That Influence Silver Prices

Silver prices can fluctuate based on many global factors. These include industrial demand, mining supply, interest rate cycles, geopolitical developments, and currency trends. In India, silver demand is also driven by jewellery consumption, investment demand, and expanding manufacturing sectors such as electronics and renewable energy.

For investors, commodity-based funds like silver ETFs or silver FoFs can act as a diversification tool in a broader investment portfolio.

Final Thoughts

The launch of the Mirae Asset Silver ETF Fund of Fund adds another option for investors interested in commodities and precious metals. With a relatively low entry amount and a simple mutual fund structure, the scheme aims to make silver investing easier for retail investors in India.

However, like all commodity investments, silver can be volatile. Investors should evaluate their financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon before investing in such funds.
