Key statistics
The headline figures for SIL.
What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of SIL's holdings, performance and risks.
Basic Materials makes up 99.9% of the fund, so SIL's performance is almost entirely tied to that one sector. When the sector moves, the fund moves with it. SIL is an Equity Precious Metals fund run by Global X Funds, and it launched on April 19, 2010.
Owning SIL carries an annual cost of 0.65%, which comes to $65.00 on every $10,000 placed in it. The fund's net assets total $4.4B, and its distribution yield stands at 1.18%. Turnover in the portfolio is 28%.
Daily swings are the first thing to plan around. SIL has moved 2.54% on an average session. Because 99.9% of its holdings sit in Basic Materials, the fund leans heavily on a single sector. Until the price climbs back above its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is 30.81% below the 52-week high of $119.24.

CleaRank AI analysis of SIL
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) is in a downtrend. The price of $82.50 sits 9.58% below its 200-day average of $91.24 and 10.46% below its 50-day average of $92.14. The 50-day average is still 0.98% above the 200-day average, but the price has already fallen beneath the shorter line. In its 52-week range of $61.80 to $119.24, the price stands at 36% of the range, 30.81% below the high.
The recent dip sits within a longer record that is firmer. Over the past month the price fell 9.27%, while over the past three months it rose 15.00% and over the past year it rose 3.32%. Momentum leans weak: the 14-day RSI of 39.8 sits in the bearish zone, still above the oversold line, and the MACD line is negative.
- Two levels matter most right now. The 20-day EMA at $86.50 sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $61.80 sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 39.8, in the bearish zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Fees add up over time. SIL's expense ratio of 0.65% works out to $65.00 a year for every $10,000 invested.
With the price beneath both its 50-day ($92.14) and 200-day ($91.24) averages, the trend reads as down. Reclaiming the 200-day would be the first hint that this is changing. Right now the closest level overhead is the 20-day EMA, at $86.50.
Below the price, the nearest level is the 52-week low at $61.80. The RSI sits in the bearish zone, and momentum still leans toward lower prices.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in SIL, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in SIL today could grow to about $19,394 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $97,797 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $3,846. The simulation models price only; at today's 1.18% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
SIL 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $108 for SIL by 2030 in the base case, from $82.50 today (1.3x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $38.65. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on SIL's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $52.85 | $88.15 | $147 | |
| 2028 | $45.68 | $94.19 | $194 | |
| 2029 | $41.49 | $101 | $244 | |
| 2030 | $38.65 | $108 | $299 | |
| 2031 | $36.60 | $115 | $361 |
Method: a lognormal simulation of SIL's own volatility and capped historical trend, re-run daily; base case is the median path, the outer columns the 10th and 90th percentiles.
