Platinum International Health Sciences Fund

Learn more about unit pricing dates
Platinum uses a forward pricing methodology. Applications for investment in the fund received and identified (and accepted by us) by 3:00 pm (AEST) on a Business Day are processed with an entry price calculated for that Business Day. Applications received and indentified (and accepted by us) after 3:00pm AEST on a Business Day (but by the next cut-off time) will generally be processed using the entry price calculated for the next Business Day.
Standard Pricing Timeline
Where a withdrawal/application request is accepted by us by 3pm AEST on a Business Day, we will generally process those trades with an exit/entry price calculated by reference to closing prices of global equity markets on the trade acceptance date.
For example, where an investor has deposited monies and we have accepted their completed Application Form with the necessary supporting documentation by 3pm, Tuesday 5 December 2023, the application will generally receive the entry price calculated by reference to closing prices of global equity markets on Tuesday 5 December 2023. Withdrawal requests are processed in the same manner.
Public Holiday Pricing
Where a withdrawal/application request is accepted by us by 3pm AEST on a Business Day which falls prior to a public holiday, we will generally process those trades with an exit/entry price calculated by reference to closing prices of global equity markets on the trade acceptance date.
For example, where an investor has deposited monies and we have accepted their completed Application Form with the necessary supporting documentation by 3pm on Friday 29 September 2023, the Business Day prior to the Labour Day holiday, the application will generally receive the entry price calculated by reference to closing prices of global equity markets on Friday 29 September 2023. Withdrawal requests are processed in the same manner.
Unit prices are updated on our website at approximately 5:30 pm AEST each Business Day.
Please refer to ‘Manage your Investment’ for how to apply for units and make withdrawals.

The fund may earn income (such as dividends and interest) from its investments and may also realise capital gains or losses on the sale of its investments. Income and net realised capital gains are distributed to unitholders annually as at 30 June. The components of the distribution will vary from year to year, the details of which are set out in the annual distribution and tax statements provided to unitholders. There may also be times when no distribution is payable.

Distributions are calculated in dollars-per-unit on the number of units held by a unitholder as at the end of the distribution date. This means that a unitholder’s distribution entitlement from the fund is not pro-rated for the duration of the unitholder’s investment in the fund during the tax year.

When a distribution is made, the unit price will fully reflect the distribution.

Unitholders will generally receive their entitlement (if payable) within 15 Business Days after the distribution date.

Unitholders may elect to have their distribution entitlement:

• reinvested as additional units in the same unit class of the fund;
• paid into the unitholder’s nominated financial institution account; or
• fixed cash distribution option, currently set at 4% per annum

If no election is made, the unitholder’s distribution entitlement will be automatically reinvested. Additional units will be issued at the net asset value unit price on the relevant Business Day, and the buy spread will not apply.
