"The Platinum Global Fund outpaced its index with a 10.3% return in Q3 2025, driven by AI semiconductor leaders and a surge in cheap Chinese tech. Following a merger, L1 Capital's David Steinthal takes over management of the fund starting in October."
In the quarter ending 30 September 2025, the Platinum Global Fund (Long Only) posted a strong return of 10.3%, outperforming the MSCI AC World Index's 6.4%. Performance was propelled by key semiconductor positions (TSMC, ASML, Micron) riding the AI wave, alongside an explosive 60% gain in Alibaba. Outgoing manager Ted Alexander addresses AI bubble anxieties, noting that stock valuations are currently backed by rising earnings. He also highlights healthcare opportunities (e.g., IQVIA) emerging from regulatory clarity under the Trump administration. Following a corporate merger, David Steinthal of L1 Capital will assume portfolio management on 1 October 2025.
