Key Features
About the FundA diversified portfolio of Asian (ex-Japan) companies across industry sectors, the fund offers investors exposure to undervalued businesses benefiting from the region's dynamic growth and transformation. Investment objectiveTo provide capital growth over the long-term by investing in undervalued companies in the Asian region (excluding Japan). Investment StrategyThe Platinum Asia Fund primarily invests in listed securities of Asian companies. The portfolio will ideally consist of 50 to 100 securities that Platinum believes to be undervalued by the market. Cash may be held when undervalued securities cannot be found. However, the portfolio typically has 50% or more net equity exposure. Platinum may short-sell securities that it considers overvalued. Why invest with Platinum?Platinum is one of Australia's leading investment managers in international equities. Platinum has an independent style of investment management driven by a thematic stock picking approach. The composition of a Fund's assets is determined largely by the availability of companies regarded as undervalued by Platinum rather than by macro economic modelling (referred to as top down asset allocation) or by reference to global share index weightings (referred to as benchmarking). Platinum's investment strategy is applied with the aim of achieving absolute returns for Investors. This is our central endeavour. It is complemented by monthly and quarterly communications to keep Investors abreast of our perspective and portfolio positioning. The Funds can be used as standâ€alone investment options for international exposure or may be used to complement the investment styles of other managers. |
