"Platinum International Fund delivered a strong 9.3% return for Q3 2025, beating its benchmark through key exposures to semiconductor giants riding the AI trend and a robust rebound in Chinese consumer stocks."
The Platinum International Fund delivered a strong return of 9.3% in the September 2025 quarter, outperforming its benchmark's 6.4% gain. Outperformance was largely driven by robust stock selection in information technology (notably Micron, Lam Research, Alphabet, ASML, and TSMC) and a well-timed allocation to Chinese equities (such as Alibaba, which surged 60%). The fund also deployed significant capital, reducing cash from 19% to 9% and bringing short exposures to zero. A recovery in the healthcare sector, particularly via the fund's position in IQVIA, also aided performance. Looking forward, the fund manager rejects bubble warnings for AI, highlighting that valuation multiples are justified by profits. Effective October 1, 2025, David Steinthal becomes the lead portfolio manager following a merger with L1 Capital.
