iShares Silver Trust ( (SLV) ) has provided an update.
On March 27, 2026, BlackRock Managing Director Jay Jacobs was appointed to the Board of Directors of iShares Delaware Trust Sponsor LLC and named its President and Chief Executive Officer, placing an experienced ETF strategist at the helm of the sponsor of iShares Silver Trust. His background leading U.S. equity ETF product strategy and research-focused roles at Global X ETFs and the New York Stock Exchange signals a continued emphasis on product innovation and institutional-grade oversight for the silver-focused vehicle.
Also effective March 27, 2026, Shannon Ghia resigned as a Director and as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor, with the company stating the departure did not stem from any disagreement over operations, policies, or practices. The orderly transition to Jacobs, who has deep experience in thematic and active equity ETFs, is likely to reassure investors and counterparties that leadership change will be managed with continuity and strategic focus in mind.
