"Platinum is playing defensive against high-flying US valuations, deploying cash into overlooked international value opportunities in South Korea and Europe that are backed by strong domestic demand and governance reforms."
Platinum Asset Management’s quarterly report for the period ending June 30, 2025 highlights a strong preference for non-US equities, particularly in South Korea, Europe, and Japan. The flagship Platinum International Fund remained stable over the quarter, up 0.3%. High valuations and looming macro risks in the US—namely rising debt, potential tariff shocks, and inflation—have led Platinum to maintain a cautious stance on US mega-caps, using protective shorts and cash management to guard against volatility. Conversely, the manager is highly constructive on South Korea, citing governance reforms (the 'Value-Up' program) and its positioning as a key technology and heavy industry supplier to the West. Key portfolio changes include adding positions in defensive or structurally growing businesses like Cameco, Diploma, and EO Technics, while divesting from low-conviction or structurally challenged holdings such as Wizz Air and China Vanke.
