Aberdeen Standard Platinum ETF Trust is an investment trust. Co. holds platinum bullion and issues Aberdeen Standard Physical platinum Shares ETF (the Shares) (in minimum blocks of Shares, also referred to as Baskets) in exchange for deposits of platinum and distributes platinum in connection with redemption of Baskets. The investment objective of Co. is for the Shares to reflect the performance of the price of platinum, less its expenses and liabilities. Co. is designed to provide an individual owner of beneficial interests in the Shares an opportunity to participate in the platinum market through an investment in securities. The PPLT stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the PPLT stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2014 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the PPLT annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
