They’re just two different providers.
Generally, I’d ask this kind of question to chatGPT. Here’s a summary of its answer:
| Feature | iShares Silver Trust (SLV) | Invesco Physical Silver ETC |
|---|---|---|
| Exposure | Physical silver price | Physical silver price |
| Structure | US ETF (grantor trust) | European ETC |
| Expense ratio | Higher (~0.50%) | Lower (~0.19–0.20%) (JustETF) |
| Liquidity | Very high | Lower (JustETF) |
| Best for | Active traders & large volume | Long-term holders seeking lower fees |
Sometimes ChatGPT misses though, and in the case you’ve posted it’s comparing the US based iShares Silver Trust to the European Invesco ETC. A more direct comparison would be the Ireland based iShares Physical Silver ETC (IE00B4NCWG09), as this is more appropriate for UK/Europe based investors.
Here’s a comparison of the two funds on Just ETF
