DESCRIPTION

Y'all Street Physical Silver ETF is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the price of silver by holding physical bullion. The fund holds fine silver bars sourced from approved members of the LBMA Good Delivery List in U.S.-based vaults, primarily at the Texas Precious Metals Depository. This domestic storage strategy and the exclusive use of allocated, segregated silver distinguish the fund from competitors that may use foreign vaults or unallocated accounts. The fund is not actively managed and avoids derivatives to eliminate counterparty and credit risks. Shares represent fractional interests in the fund's silver holdings and trade on the Nasdaq. The fund's revenue comes from a sponsor's fee that accrues daily based on the net asset value of the holdings. This fee covers all operating expenses, including custody, administration, and marketing. Since silver produces no dividends or interest, the fund sells small portions of its bullion to cover these costs, which reduces the silver content per share over time. Creation and redemption of shares occur in blocks called baskets and are restricted to authorized participants who deposit or receive physical silver. Texas Precious Metals serves as the custodian and receives a share of the sponsor's profits. The fund's strategy focuses on providing a transparent, physically-backed investment vehicle for silver without the complexities of financial derivatives or international custody.
