Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

A strong track record, over the very long term, in international equities established Platinum as one of the best-known fund managers in Australia.

Bears

The majority of Platinum Asset Management's earnings come from only a handful of funds, meaning it has a high reliance on key investment personnel and the performance of its main funds.
