Aditya Birla Sun Life has temporarily halted fresh subscriptions for its Silver ETF Fund of Fund on BSE, citing limited availability of physical silver amid surging demand. Existing systematic plans remain unaffected. The suspension aims to protect investors’ interests during a volatile market and supply constraints.

Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund announced a temporary suspension of fresh subscriptions to its Silver ETF Fund of Fund (FoF), effective immediately as per the recent BSE notice. This move comes in response to a sharp surge in investor demand for silver and a constrained supply of physical silver, which limits the creation of new ETF units at the indicative net asset value (iNAV).

Investors will not be able to make new lumpsum investments, switch-ins, or additional purchases during the suspension period. However, existing Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) and Systematic Transfer Plans (STPs) registered before the suspension will continue without interruption, and redemptions will be permitted as usual.

Safeguarding Investor Interests

The fund house emphasized that the temporary pause is necessary to safeguard the interests of existing and prospective investors amid current market conditions. The silver market has witnessed elevated volatility due to macroeconomic factors and increased commodity demand globally, which has impacted the availability and pricing of physical silver needed to back the ETF units.

Key Highlights

Fresh subscriptions, including lumpsum and switch-ins, to Aditya Birla Sun Life Silver ETF FoF are temporarily suspended.
Systematic plans (SIP/STP) initiated before suspension continue unaffected.
Redemptions and switch-outs remain active for liquidity.
Physical silver shortage and soaring demand affect new unit creation at NAV.
Suspension is temporary and will last until further notice to protect investor interests.

Investment Insights

Aditya Birla Sun Life Silver ETF FoF offers investors exposure to the domestic silver price by investing chiefly in units of the Silver ETF, providing liquidity, purity assurance, and cost-effective silver exposure without physical storage concerns. The ongoing suspension aligns with similar moves by other fund houses facing physical silver supply pressure.

Investors are advised to keep updated with fund communications and consider the suspension’s implications while planning new investments in silver-linked funds.
