"The Fund returned over 6% in Q3 2025, boosted by AI hardware holdings, but defensively liquidated its long-term stakes in Alphabet and Meta due to growing structural disruption risks from generative AI."
For the quarter ending September 30, 2025, the Platinum International Technology Fund returned over 6%, trailing the MSCI AC World IT Index which returned 12%. Performance was driven by key AI infrastructure holdings like Broadcom, Nvidia, Vertiv, and TSMC, which each rose about 20%. Conversely, the fund made a strategic decision to completely exit long-term holdings in Alphabet (held since 2011) and Meta (held since 2018), taking advantage of market rallies to protect against existential threat and margin degradation from ChatGPT/OpenAI's user growth. The manager also exited analog semiconductor holdings (Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Microchip) due to tepid cyclical recovery and market share loss to Chinese competitors, and chip equipment makers (AMAT, Tokyo Electron, Synopsys) due to headwinds in China and at Intel. These capital outlays were redirected to increase the position in Intuitive Surgical to 3.0%, initiate a position in Grab, and build defensive technology holdings (~4% of the portfolio).
