“We are excited to provide this index to Themes ETFs, given that silver mining, which spans industries, is a critical area of interest for the global investor community. Our index sheds light on the dynamics in the industry in a transparent and rules-based way and underscores STOXX’s strong position as a leading index provider for thematic indices.”
Axel Lomholt, General Manager at STOXX
“Growth in demand for silver as an industrial input, particularly for solar panel production which rose 64% to 232 million ounces in 2023 alone, has placed silver miners in focus. AGMI offers investors an opportunity to invest in silver miners. We have made it our mission to provide investors with relatively more cost-efficient access to potential market opportunities via our ETFs.”
Taylor Krystkowiak, Vice President and Investment Strategist at Themes ETFs
