Gold Empire, in collaboration with Mubasher Financial Services Group, has announced the launch of the first specialized silver investment fund in the Egyptian market, named "Mubasher Silver Fund." This move aims to expand the range of investment tools available to individuals and institutions and promote portfolio diversification away from traditional assets.

Osama Zarei, Board Member of Gold Empire and a shareholder in the fund, stated that the subscription for the fund’s units will begin tomorrow, Sunday. He noted that the fund aims to reach a size of approximately 1 billion EGP in the coming period, driven by expectations of strong investor demand.

He added that the launch is part of the company's strategy to provide flexible investment tools that keep pace with global economic changes. Zarei highlighted that silver represents a dual investment opportunity, serving as both a precious metal and a fundamental component in many modern industries.

Furthermore, Zarei explained that Gold Empire is focused on developing specialized investment products within the precious metals sector. By offering solutions that combine security with ease of trading, the company aligns with global trends toward investing in real assets. He pointed out that the company aims to build an integrated ecosystem that includes both gold and silver.

Key Features of the Fund:

Purity: Investment in .999 grade silver.

Convenience: No storage burdens or risks of counterfeiting.

Liquidity: High levels of liquidity, allowing for easy entry and exit.

Accessibility: Specifically designed to be attractive to retail investors.

Zarei confirmed that subscription will be available through several financial brokerage firms, including: Mubasher Trade, Thndr, Naeem, Ostoul, Arabia Online, and Zalady. Investors can subscribe via digital applications or physical branches.

He clarified that the pricing of the fund’s units is based on the global spot price of silver. The bullion will be kept in secured vaults under regulatory supervision, ensuring the highest levels of security and transparency.

Market Context and Growth

In a related context, Zarei noted that the Egyptian market is witnessing a significant boom in investment funds, particularly those focused on precious metals. Data from the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) showed that the total net assets of gold investment funds reached approximately 9.28 billion EGP by the end of March 2026, distributed across nearly 289,000 investment accounts. This reflects growing investor confidence in these instruments.

He added that these indicators show a clear shift in investor behavior toward regulated investment channels, especially with individuals making up the largest percentage of investors, alongside an increasing interest from younger demographics.

Zarei concluded by emphasizing that precious metal investment funds are among the most important hedging tools against inflation and market volatility. They allow investors to benefit from global price movements without the need for physical purchase or incurring storage costs. He reiterated that the launch of the silver fund supports financial inclusion, enhances market depth, and aims for sustainable capital returns.
