UTI Mutual Fund has resumed acceptance of fresh transactions in its UTI Silver ETF Fund of Fund, effective October 27, 2025. The move follows a temporary suspension due to elevated silver premiums and market volatility. Investors can now invest via lump-sum, SIPs, STPs, and switch-ins.
UTI Mutual Fund has officially reopened its UTI Silver ETF Fund of Fund for fresh investments, as per a circular issued on October 27, 2025. The fund house had earlier paused new subscriptions amid a sharp surge in domestic silver prices and unusually high premiums, citing investor protection concerns.
With market conditions stabilizing and silver prices showing signs of moderation, UTI joins other mutual fund houses like Kotak, Axis, and Aditya Birla Sun Life in resuming access to silver-based fund-of-fund schemes. Investors can now initiate lump-sum investments, Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), Systematic Transfer Plans (STPs), and switch-ins under the reopened scheme.
This resumption is expected to revive retail interest in silver ETFs, which have gained traction as a hedge against inflation and currency volatility.

-
Effective Date: Fresh transactions allowed from October 27, 2025
-
Investment Modes: Lump-sum, SIPs, STPs, and switch-ins now permitted
