Why invest in platinum?

Platinum’s attraction as an investment asset arises from the following:

  • After three years of significant deficit, the moderate surplus forecast for full year 2026 is insufficient to rebuild above ground stocks to sustainable levels
  • Platinum supply is constrained, with limited scope to increase mine supply in the short-to-medium term. Higher prices have led to some recycling supply growth, but so far this year the rate of growth has fallen short of expectations
  • Diversity of end uses and a lack of lower-priced alternatives are supportive of platinum demand despite downside risks from unexpected external events or structural trends
  • Platinum is a critical mineral in the modern economy, underpinning a key role in emissions control, the hydrogen economy, and growing AI applications
  • The platinum price remains undervalued versus the price of gold
