Methodology#
Silver pays no dividends, so monthly returns are simple price changes computed from SLV's month-end closes (in USD). The table shows the most recent 120 months and the bar chart the most recent 60. See the year-by-year returns for the annual view. Past performance does not predict future returns; not investment advice.
