"Platinum is playing the AI boom defensively by avoiding overvalued US mega-caps, choosing instead to overweight structurally reforming Korean tech enablers and zero-emission energy plays like Cameco."
Platinum Asset Management's June 2025 report outlines its strategic overweight in South Korean equities, driven by the 'Value-Up' program and the country's dominance in hardware/AI enablers like SK hynix and Samsung. Under lead PM Ted Alexander, the flagship International Fund generated 0.3% for the quarter (10.9% annualized since inception), heavily supported by its positions in Cameco and semiconductor giants, while completely exiting its underperforming stake in Wizz Air. The report features a deep dive into AI stock valuations using Platinum's proprietary TAPS model, warning that high-flying names like Palantir present poor risk/reward due to lower-than-expected growth. Furthermore, the manager details a potential platform shift where agentic AI could disintermediate Apple's iOS ecosystem. Ultimately, Platinum remains cautious on US mega-caps, using shorts and cash to mitigate downside risk while finding attractive valuations in European and Asian markets.
