The new fund will allow both retail and institutional investors to access silver at competitive market prices through a professionally managed vehicle, providing a way to diversify portfolios and hedge against market volatility over the medium to long term.
Beltone said the launch underscores its strategy to deliver innovative financial products that respond to evolving investor demand while supporting the depth and efficiency of Egypt’s capital markets.
Subscriptions are expected to open after the Eid Al-Fitr holiday, with further details on the fund’s structure and investment mechanisms to be announced. Investors will be able to subscribe via Beltone Securities Brokerage.
With Egypt’s public debt reaching EGP 5.57 trillion, 35.2 percent of GDP, and debt service costs hitting EGP 41 trillion per the 2024-2025 budget, investors face squeezed returns from traditional government bonds and volatile equities.
Silver is emerging as a safe-haven asset, with global prices rising 25 percent in 2025 due to industrial demand in renewables and electronics, outpacing gold’s 18 percent increase and helping hedge against Egypt’s 28 percent inflation.
