Difference between Platinum Asia Fund and Platinum International fund

Hi

I enjoyed your recent conference and also Charlie Aitkens recent article on opportunities in Asia.

What do you see as the best way a small investor to access this opportunity ? If an ETF, can you run through some of the key ones for Asia ? And can you explain the difference between Platinum Asia which gives a healthy div, and the Platinum Asia Fund and Platinum International Fund which are listed, but don’t have a div reported on the ASX web site.

A: The Platinum Asia Fund (ASX Code PAAX) is a feeder fund for Platinum’s unlisted Platinum Asia Fund. The former only invests in the unlisted fund. It pays annual distributions – the first distribution was paid recently for the period ending 30 June 18.

Vanguard, iShares and Betashares offer exchange traded funds that track various Asian indices (see www.ishares.com.au www.vanguardinvestments.com.au , www.betashares.com.au )
