SLV vs GDX: Is a Silver ETF a Better Buy Than a Gold Miner Fund in 2026?

• The article compares the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) and the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) as investment vehicles for precious metals exposure.
• SLV offers direct exposure to physical silver, while GDX invests in gold mining companies, introducing equity-specific risks and potential for outperformance during gold rallies.
• Despite recent volatility, GDX is recommended over SLV due to its dividend payouts, potential for corporate actions to boost shareholder returns, and more favorable tax treatment for U.S. investors.
