Active ETFs at Platinum

Investors preferring the structure of managed funds but favouring the convenience of placing trades through the ASX or an online broker may consider the Platinum International Fund Complex ETF (ASX: PIXX) and the Platinum Asia Fund Complex ETF (ASX: PAXX).

Known as Active ETFs (Active Exchange Traded Funds), these offer investors the advantage of knowing the fund’s intra-day indicative NAV per unit before placing a trade. The funds trade, clear and settle in the same way as do shares in ASX-listed companies, and therefore can be conveniently accessed through an online broker.

PLATINUM'S ACTIVE ETFS

FAQs

What are Platinum’s active ETFs?

The active ETFs we currently offer include Platinum International Fund Complex ETF (ASX code: PIXX) and Platinum Asia Fund Complex ETF (ASX code: PAXX). For more information on the active ETFs we offer, please go to https://www.platinum.com.au/active-etfs.

What are the key advantages of investing in active ETFs?

The key advantages for investors wishing to invest in our active ETFs are:

The benefit of knowing the fund’s intra-day indicative NAV per unit prior to transacting.
The funds are easy to access as units in active ETFs trade, clear and settle in the same way as shares in ASX-listed companies and can be acquired through any licensed broker (including broking platforms) without the need for lengthy paperwork.
Annual income distribution.
No minimum investment amounts

What does the market-making function refer to in the active ETFs?

Market makers match buy and sell orders for investors that want to trade units in the fund. The market maker provides liquidity to the market by supplying quotes and updating their prices to reflect changes in the underlying securities, market conditions and the supply and demand for the units throughout the ASX trading day. Platinum has engaged J.P. Morgan Securities Australia Limited as its market making agent.

What is the difference between our active ETFs - PIXX and PAXX, and an ETF or LIC?

Active ETFs such as PIXX and PAXX, have a unit trust structure and are open-ended, which means that new units are issued and existing units are cancelled based on investor demand and capital flows.
A typical Australian exchange traded managed fund (ETF) also has a trust structure and is open-ended but is not actively managed and instead tracks a market index.
Listed investment companies (LICs) are closed-ended investment vehicles that are established in the form of a company. They do not regularly issue new shares or cancel existing shares and so their cash flows and investment decisions are not impacted by daily fund inflows and outflows (as is the case for managed funds). However, the share price of a LIC can (and often does) differ from the underlying value of the LIC’s portfolio of investments.

^As at 30 April 2025.
*Fund returns are annualised, are calculated using the fund's net asset value per unit (which does not include the buy/sell spread), and represent the fund's combined income and capital returns over the period from the fund's inception date (as specified) to 30 April 2025. Returns are net of accrued fees and costs, are pre-tax, and assume the reinvestment of distributions. The investment returns shown are historical and no warranty can be given for future performance. Historical performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Source: Platinum Investment Management Limited.
