SIVR Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect
Last updated July 2026
Short answer
SIVR's approximate 0% yield (as of mid-2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Spot silver price (LBMA Silver Price) and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 0.30% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; SIVR is built for total return, not yield. If total return is the goal, the yield matters less than cost and what it holds. Yield is a recent snapshot, not a promise; verify the current figure with abrdn.
How does the SIVR dividend work?
SIVR holds the companies in Spot silver price (LBMA Silver Price), collects the dividends they pay, and distributes them to shareholders (usually quarterly), net of its 0.30% fee. The yield you see is the trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change.
SIVR is the abrdn Physical Silver Shares ETF, holding allocated physical silver bars in secure vaults so its share price tracks the spot silver price at a 0.30% expense ratio. It is a grantor trust rather than a stock fund, so it holds no equities and pays no dividend. It is the lower-cost physically backed alternative to the much larger iShares Silver Trust (SLV) at 0.50%.
How does SIVR's dividend yield compare?
- Approximate yield: 0% (mid-2026).
- What drives it: the payout of the underlying Spot silver price (LBMA Silver Price) holdings.
- Fee drag: the 0.30% expense ratio is deducted before you receive distributions.
- For more income: dedicated dividend or income ETFs target higher yield, with their own trade-offs.

The bottom line on the SIVR dividend
The bottom line: at an approximate 0% yield, SIVR is a growth-first, low-yield fund. If income is your goal, dedicated dividend funds pay more; SIVR is the wrong tool for yield and the right one for total-return Spot silver price (LBMA Silver Price) exposure. If total return is the goal, the yield matters less than cost and what it holds. Treat the figure as a moving snapshot, not a fixed rate, and verify the current yield with abrdn.
