Executive Summary
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%.

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.
