Should I invest in Platinum’s international fund?

Charlie has been recommending Platinum (PTM). I am currently completing the forms. What particular trust was Charlie referring to? International fund, unhedged, etc?

I seem to recall somewhere in a previous report that it was international fund but he may have been recommending a spread. Please let me know as I am keen to go ahead.

A: Charlie was recommending Platinum Asset Management (PTM) as an investment. That is, buying shares in the investment manager (see this article - and in particular the information under the heading ‘The game plan’.)


I think you are talking about using Platinum to manage your money. Their track record as a manager is pretty good. We wrote about this the other week. Personally, I would consider their International Fund.


Hope this helps.
