The Hidden Costs Of SLVO's High Yield

SLVO offers high monthly dividends through a covered call strategy but caps upside potential, making it less ideal during strong silver rallies. Despite a bullish outlook on silver, SLVO's structure and historical underperformance suggest direct investments like SLV or self-managed strategies might yield better returns. SLVO's 32% yield is appealing for income-focused investors, but its expense ratio and capped gains limit its attractiveness for those seeking significant capital growth.

SLVO: Don't Blow This Bull Run On Covered Calls

I'm bullish on Silver, due to its fundamental setup, highlighted by a 6-year running supply/demand deficit. Despite my bullishness on Silver, I'm bearish of the Credit Suisse X-Links Silver Shares Covered Call ETN due to its long term under-performance. On the surface, the SLVO ETF's shareholders get a 14% dividend payout. Yet, the total return of the fund since inception has been negative for more than 11 years.

Silver Looks Ready To Break Out On The Next Round Of Rate Cuts

Silver has provided significant returns, up over 40% in the last year, and may catch up to gold in the ongoing precious metal bull market. The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts and potential increased industrial use from China could support further appreciation in silver prices. Silver's industrial demand, particularly for solar cells and electric vehicles, combined with supply deficits, suggests a strong potential for future gains.

SLVO: If You Are Looking For A Rally In Silver, SLVO Is Not The Answer

2024 has seen significant rallies in commodities, including oil, coffee, gold, and cocoa. The Credit Suisse X-Links Silver Shares Covered Call ETN offers exposure to silver but caps its upside to +6% monthly positive moves. Commodity rallies have proven themselves to be sudden and significant in short periods of time, thus making the SLVO structure inappropriate for a sudden break-out in silver.

SLVO: Why Covered Calls Are Not The Right Approach To Silver

A covered call strategy involves owning an asset and selling call options, benefiting from modest price increases but resulting in losses during extreme price moves. Silver has traded in a narrow range since 2020, with the range narrowing further in 2024. The Credit Suisse X-Links Silver Shares Covered Call ETN has underperformed silver futures and experienced losses in recent years, making a direct investment in silver or a self-directed covered call strategy more favorable.
