Platinum Asia Fund Cameron Robertson | “During the quarter, we introduced a small position in Chinese autonomous vehicle company, Pony AI. Autonomous vehicles are not on the horizon; they are on the road today, scaling rapidly with unit economics that finally make sense. Pony AI grew its autonomous robotaxi fleet from approximately 250 vehicles at the end of 2024 to 1,159 by the end of 2025, with plans to triple this to over 3,000 vehicles in 2026. The investment case is not about cool technology; it's about the cold math of unit economics as costs decline and utilization rises. BSD Analysis: Pony AI is a long-duration bet on autonomous driving where timing matters more than vision statements. The technology is credible, but commercialization depends on regulation, cost curves, and partnerships. Investors conflate slow rollout with failure. Capital intensity and funding access are the real constraints. If autonomy scales, operating leverage is enormous. If it doesn't, dilution risk dominates. This is not a near-term earnings story. It's optionality on regulatory and technological convergence.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
Baillie Gifford -Emerging Markets Andrew Stobart / Mike Gush / Ben Durrant | “Pony.ai was initiated as a position following commercial robotaxi progress and clear regulatory frameworks established in China. The company trades at a depressed valuation despite strong unit economics, regulatory approvals in Tier 1 cities, and key strategic partnerships with Toyota and Tencent.” | BULL | Q2 2025 Jun 30, 2025 | View Pitch |
