Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Platinum International Fund Complex ETF, ASX: PIXX?
PIXX is an ASX quoted version of our existing flagship fund, the Platinum International Fund. PIXX feeds into the Platinum International Fund, giving you access to Platinum International Fund’s portfolio composition, portfolio managers and investment strategies. The returns of PIXX may vary slightly from the returns of the Platinum International Fund due to different cash holdings, and gains and losses arising as a result of PIXX's market making activities.
What are the advantages of a quoted actively managed fund?
Easy access through the ASX, together with live pricing and little paperwork associated with traditional managed funds.
What is the market making function often referred to in a quoted actively managed fund?
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.
How do quoted actively managed funds such as the Platinum International Fund Complex ETF differ to an ETF or LIC?
Actively managed quoted funds such as PIXX have a trust structure and are open-ended meaning the number of units on issue can grow or shrink based on investor demand. An ETF likewise has a trust structure and is open-ended but is not actively managed and instead tracks an index. LICs have a company structure and are closed ended meaning they do not receive daily capital inflows.
What are the fees for the Platinum International Fund Complex ETF?
PIXX has a management fee of 1.10% p.a. plus a relative outperformance fee of 15%1. This fee is in line with the fee structure for Platinum‘s two listed investment companies, Platinum Capital Limited (ASX: PMC) and Platinum Asia Investments Limited (ASX: PAI).
How can investors purchase or sell units in the Platinum International Fund Complex ETF?
Investors can purchase or sell units via their stockbrokers as they would a listed security. You do not need to complete an application form or withdrawal form; you will purchase the units or receive the proceeds from the sale of units, in the same way as you would a listed security. There is no minimum number of units investors can buy or sell.
What paperwork is required to access the Platinum International Fund Complex ETF?
None, if you have an existing stockbroking account.
At what price will investors be buying or selling the Platinum International Fund Complex ETF?
Prices will be live and reflect unitholder demand and supply. However, the market maker will add liquidity during the ASX trading day with the objective of ensuring that the price closely approximates the fund's iNAV. The iNAV is updated at regular intervals during the ASX trading day and is available on Platinum’s website.
