"The Platinum Asia Fund returned 5% in Q4 2025, capitalising on AI semiconductor gains and a major recovery in Chinese financials, while actively building positions in Pony AI and Jollibee."
Executive Summary
During the quarter ending 31 December 2025, the Platinum Asia Fund recorded a 5% return. Strong performance was driven by semiconductor holdings (SK hynix, Samsung, and TSMC) riding the AI wave, alongside Weichai Power, which benefited from data centers requiring heavy-duty diesel engines. In China, financials (Ping An, China Merchants Bank) rebounded strongly as fears of government-coerced property bails subsided, signaling a shift toward commercial rationality. The fund established a position in autonomous vehicle company Pony AI, citing rapidly scaling robotaxi fleets and improving unit economics, and increased its position in Philippine fast-food giant Jollibee under turnaround leadership. To fund these purchases, positions in SK hynix, Bilibili, and H World were trimmed following strong runs.
