Silver as a portfolio mix — yes or no?
When silver complements gold — and when it doesn't.
Silver is much cheaper than gold and more volatile. In rallies, silver often gains a higher percentage than gold — leverage effect.
Downside: silver carries 19% VAT in Germany (unlike bullion gold). Higher entry cost.
Our view: small add-on (10–20% of metal allocation) for risk-tolerant investors. Choose bullion bars or coins (Maple Leaf, American Eagle).
