2019 Outlook
-
Financial markets have made a volatile start to the 2019 financial year:
-
tightening in China;
-
rising US interest rates; and
-
global trade tensions.
-
Closing FuM as at 31-Oct-2018 was $24.7 bn, down 4% on June 2018.
-
Unless there is a dramatic turn around in markets, seed investments will likely be in an unrealised loss position and performance fees for the halfyear ended 31 December 2018 will likely be negligible.
-
Absent these transient factors, Platinum continues to be well positioned:
-
investment team continuing to find good value in the market;
-
smooth leadership transition with continuity amongst key people;
-
significant progress in developing future growth plans offshore; and
-
long term investment in people, processes and technology.
