A contrarian, long-term investing philosophy
Platinum is a $12 billion Australia-based equity manager established in 1994. Platinum has one core investment style – to seek out companies whose true worth and prospects are yet to be fully recognized by the market. Historical results show that the approach has worked in different economic climates and withstood the test of business cycles. With a focus on achieving strong long-term absolute returns, Platinum looks beyond short-term market turbulence caused by events of a transient nature to seek out ‘unfashionable’ companies whose actual worth is greater than the value implied in their present share price. Both their Global Long/Short and Asia Long/Short strategies have more than 20-year track records.
