How we invest your money

The fund primarily invests in listed securities. The fund will ideally consist of 70 to 140 securities that Platinum believes to be undervalued by the market. Cash may be held when undervalued securities cannot be found. Platinum may short sell securities that it considers overvalued. The fund will typically have 50% or more net equity exposure.

Platinum may use derivatives:

1. for risk management purposes
2. to take opportunities to increase returns
3. to create a short position in a security
4. to establish positions in securities that may otherwise not be readily available (eg to gain access to particular stock markets where foreign investors face restrictions), and
5. to aid in the management of fund cash flows (eg some stock markets require pre-funding of stock purchases that may be avoided through the use of derivatives).

Platinum has set the following investment restrictions in respect of the fund:

• the underlying value of derivatives may not exceed 100% of the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the fund, and

• the underlying value of long stock positions and derivatives will not exceed 150% of the NAV of the fund.

Platinum manages risk associated with currency exposure through the use of hedging devices (eg foreign exchange forwards, swaps, non-deliverable forwards and currency options) and cash foreign exchange trades.

This fund is considered a hedge fund by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission because it uses some sophisticated investment techniques.

More information about this fund is available in the investment manager's PDS available on mlc.com.au/findafund.
