The Trust issues Shares in Baskets to Authorized Participants on an ongoing basis. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. An Authorized Participant is a person who (1) is a registered broker-dealer or other securities market participant such as a bank or other financial institution which is not required to register as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions, (2) is a participant in The Depository Trust Company, (3) has entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement with the Trustee and the Sponsor, and (4) has established an Authorized Participant Unallocated Account with the Trust’s Custodian or other platinum bullion clearing bank. An Authorized Participant Agreement is an agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant, the Sponsor and the Trustee which provides the procedures for the creation and redemption of Baskets and for the delivery of the platinum required for such creations and redemptions. An Authorized Participant Unallocated Account is an unallocated platinum account, either loco London or loco Zurich, established with the Custodian or a platinum bullion clearing bank by an Authorized Participant. The creation and redemption of Baskets is only made in exchange for the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount of platinum represented by the Baskets being created or redeemed, the amount of which is based on the combined NAV of the number of Shares included in the Baskets being created or redeemed determined on the day the order to create or redeem Baskets is properly received. Authorized Participants may, on any business day, place an order with the Trustee to create or redeem one or more Baskets. The typical settlement period for Shares is three business days. In the event of a trade date at period end, where a settlement is pending, a respective account receivable and/or payable will be recorded. When platinum is exchanged in settlement of redemption, it is considered a sale of platinum for financial statement purposes. The amount of bullion represented by the Baskets created or redeemed can only be settled to the nearest 1/1000th of an ounce. As a result, the value attributed to the creation or redemption of Shares may differ from the value of bullion to be delivered or distributed by the Trust. In order to ensure that the correct metal is available at all times to back the Shares, the Sponsor accepts an adjustment to its management fees in the event of any shortfall or excess. For each transaction, this amount is not more than 1/1000th of an ounce. As the Shares are subject to redemption at the option of Authorized Participants, the Trust has classified the outstanding Shares as Net Assets.  Changes in Shares are presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. </div> </div> 58059.6 43368.8 62044000 41460000 <div> <div style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;"> 2.7. Expenses / Realized Gains / Losses The primary expense of the Trust is the Sponsor’s Fee, which is paid by the Trust through in-kind transfers of platinum to the Sponsor. The Trust will transfer platinum to the Sponsor to pay the Sponsor’s Fee that will accrue daily at an annualized rate equal to 0.60% of the adjusted net asset value (“ANAV”) of the Trust, paid monthly in arrears. The Sponsor has agreed to assume administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust, including the Trustee’s monthly fee and out of pocket expenses, the Custodian’s fee and the reimbursement of the Custodian’s expenses, exchange listing fees, United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and certain legal expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the Sponsor’s Fee was  $640,270 and $885,125, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015, the fees payable to the Sponsor were $239,499 and $205,938, respectively. With respect to expenses not otherwise assumed by the Sponsor, the Trustee will, at the direction of the Sponsor or in its own discretion, sell the Trust’s platinum as necessary to pay these expenses. When selling platinum to pay expenses, the Trustee will endeavor to sell the smallest amounts of platinum needed to pay these expenses in order to minimize the Trust’s holdings of assets other than platinum. Other than the Sponsor’s Fee, the Trust had no expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Unless otherwise directed by the Sponsor, when selling platinum the Trustee will endeavor to sell at the price established by the LME PM Fix. The Trustee will place orders with dealers (which may include the Custodian) through which the Trustee expects to receive the most favorable price and execution of orders. The Custodian may be the purchaser of such platinum only if the sale transaction is made at the next LME PM Fix or such other publicly available price that the Sponsor deems fair, in each case as set following the sale order. A gain or loss is recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the cost of the platinum sold. Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor is liable for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale. Realized gains and losses result from the transfer of gold for Share redemptions and / or to pay expenses and are recognized on a trade date basis as the difference between the fair value and cost of gold transferred. </div> </div> 0 0 -0.0110 -0.0005 <div> <div style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;"> <div style="width:100%"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"

Valuation of Platinum  The Trust follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Platinum is held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”), on behalf of the Trust, at its London, England vaulting premises. Platinum may also be held by UBS A.G., or any other firm selected by the Custodian to hold the Trust’s platinum in the Trust’s allocated account in the firm’s Zurich, Switzerland vault premises on a segregated basis and whose appointment has been approved by the Sponsor (the “Zurich Sub-Custodian”).  At March 31, 2016, approximately 6% of the Trust’s platinum was held by the Zurich Sub-Custodian. Platinum is recorded at fair value. The cost of platinum is determined according to the average cost method and the fair value is based on the afternoon session of the twice daily fix of an ounce of platinum administered by the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) (the “LME PM Fix”). Realized gains and losses on transfers of gold, or gold distributed for the redemption of Shares, are calculated on a trade date basis as the difference between the fair value and cost of gold transferred. Once the value of platinum has been determined, the Net Asset Value (the “NAV”) is computed by the Trustee by deducting all accrued fees and other liabilities of the Trust, including the remuneration due to the Sponsor (the “Sponsor’s Fee”), from the fair value of the platinum and all other assets held by the Trust.   The Trust recognizes changes in fair value of the investment in platinum as changes in unrealized gains or losses on investment in platinum through the Statement of Operations. The per Share amount of platinum exchanged for a purchase or redemption is calculated daily by the Trustee, using the LME PM Fix to calculate the platinum amount in respect of any liabilities for which covering platinum sales have not yet been made, and represents the per Share amount of platinum held by the Trust, after giving effect to its liabilities, to cover expenses and liabilities and any losses that may have occurred.   </div><div style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;"> 2.2.

Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The investment in platinum is classified as a level 2 asset, as the fair value of the Trust’s investment in platinum is calculated based on third party pricing sources supported by observable, verifiable inputs.

<div> <div style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;"> 2. Significant Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires those responsible for preparing financial statements to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust. 2.1. Basis of Accounting The Sponsor has determined that the Trust falls within the scope of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), Financial Services—Investment Companies (“Topic 946”) and has concluded that for reporting purposes, the Trust is classified as an Investment Company.  The Trust is not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not required to register under such act. 2.2. Valuation of Platinum  The Trust follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Platinum is held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”), on behalf of the Trust, at its London, England vaulting premises. Platinum may also be held by UBS A.G., or any other firm selected by the Custodian to hold the Trust’s platinum in the Trust’s allocated account in the firm’s Zurich, Switzerland vault premises on a segregated basis and whose appointment has been approved by the Sponsor (the “Zurich Sub-Custodian”).  At March 31, 2016, approximately 6% of the Trust’s platinum was held by the Zurich Sub-Custodian. Platinum is recorded at fair value. The cost of platinum is determined according to the average cost method and the fair value is based on the afternoon session of the twice daily fix of an ounce of platinum administered by the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) (the “LME PM Fix”). Realized gains and losses on transfers of gold, or gold distributed for the redemption of Shares, are calculated on a trade date basis as the difference between the fair value and cost of gold transferred. Once the value of platinum has been determined, the Net Asset Value (the “NAV”) is computed by the Trustee by deducting all accrued fees and other liabilities of the Trust, including the remuneration due to the Sponsor (the “Sponsor’s Fee”), from the fair value of the platinum and all other assets held by the Trust.   The Trust recognizes changes in fair value of the investment in platinum as changes in unrealized gains or losses on investment in platinum through the Statement of Operations. The per Share amount of platinum exchanged for a purchase or redemption is calculated daily by the Trustee, using the LME PM Fix to calculate the platinum amount in respect of any liabilities for which covering platinum sales have not yet been made, and represents the per Share amount of platinum held by the Trust, after giving effect to its liabilities, to cover expenses and liabilities and any losses that may have occurred.   </div><div style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;"> 2.2. Valuation of Platinum (continued) Fair Value Hierarchy ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows: <div style="width:100%"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;width: 100.00%;margin-left:0pt;"> <tr> <td valign="top" style="border-right:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-bottom:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-left:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-top:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;width:02.54%;padding:0pt 6.5pt"> </td> <td valign="top" style="border-right:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-left:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-bottom:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-top:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;width:09.62%;padding:0pt 6.5pt"> Level 1. </td> <td valign="top" style="border-left:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-bottom:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-right:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-top:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;width:87.84%;padding:0pt 6.5pt"> Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust has the ability to access. </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" style="border-right:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-bottom:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-top:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-left:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;width:02.54%;padding:0pt 6.5pt"> </td> <td valign="top" style="border-right:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-left:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-bottom:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-top:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;width:09.62%;padding:0pt 6.5pt"> Level 2. </td> <td valign="top" style="border-left:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-bottom:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-top:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;border-right:1pt none #D9D9D9 ;width:87.84%;padding:0pt 6.5pt"> Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The investment in platinum is classified as a level 2 asset, as the fair value of the Trust’s investment in platinum is calculated based on third party pricing sources supported by observable, verifiable inputs. The categorization of the Trust’s assets is as shown below: <div style="width:100%"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:collapse;width: 100.00%;margin-left:0pt;"> <tr> <td

31, 2015. 2.3. Platinum Receivable and Payable Platinum receivable or payable represents the quantity of platinum covered by contractually binding orders for the creation or redemption of Shares respectively, where the platinum has not yet been transferred to or from the Trust’s account. Generally, ownership of the platinum is transferred within three business days of the trade date. 2.4.  Creations and Redemptions of Shares  The Trust expects to create and redeem Shares from time to time, but only in one or more Baskets (a Basket equals a block of 50,000 Shares). The Trust issues Shares in Baskets to Authorized Participants on an ongoing basis. Individual investors cannot purchase or redeem Shares in direct transactions with the Trust. An Authorized Participant is a person who (1) is a registered broker-dealer or other securities market participant such as a bank or other financial institution which is not required to register as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions, (2) is a participant in The Depository Trust Company, (3) has entered into an Authorized Participant Agreement with the Trustee and the Sponsor, and (4) has established an Authorized Participant Unallocated Account with the Trust’s Custodian or other platinum bullion clearing bank. An Authorized Participant Agreement is an agreement entered into by each Authorized Participant, the Sponsor and the Trustee which provides the procedures for the creation and redemption of Baskets and for the delivery of the platinum required for such creations and redemptions. An Authorized Participant Unallocated Account is an unallocated platinum account, either loco London or loco Zurich, established with the Custodian or a platinum bullion clearing bank by an Authorized Participant. The creation and redemption of Baskets is only made in exchange for the delivery to the Trust or the distribution by the Trust of the amount of platinum represented by the Baskets being created or redeemed, the amount of which is based on the combined NAV of the number of Shares included in the Baskets being created or redeemed determined on the day the order to create or redeem Baskets is properly received. Authorized Participants may, on any business day, place an order with the Trustee to create or redeem one or more Baskets. The typical settlement period for Shares is three business days. In the event of a trade date at period end, where a settlement is pending, a respective account receivable and/or payable will be recorded. When platinum is exchanged in settlement of redemption, it is considered a sale of platinum for financial statement purposes. The amount of bullion represented by the Baskets created or redeemed can only be settled to the nearest 1/1000th of an ounce. As a result, the value attributed to the creation or redemption of Shares may differ from the value of bullion to be delivered or distributed by the Trust. In order to ensure that the correct metal is available at all times to back the Shares, the Sponsor accepts an adjustment to its management fees in the event of any shortfall or excess. For each transaction, this amount is not more than 1/1000th of an ounce. As the Shares are subject to redemption at the option of Authorized Participants, the Trust has classified the outstanding Shares as Net Assets.  Changes in Shares are presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. 2.5. Income Taxes  The Trust is classified as a “grantor trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Trust itself will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, the Trust’s income and expenses will “flow through” to the Shareholders, and the Trustee will report the Trust’s proceeds, income, deductions, gains, and losses to the Internal Revenue Service on that basis. The Sponsor has evaluated whether or not there are uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition and has determined that no reserves for uncertain tax positions are required as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.   2.6.

/ Losses The primary expense of the Trust is the Sponsor’s Fee, which is paid by the Trust through in-kind transfers of platinum to the Sponsor. The Trust will transfer platinum to the Sponsor to pay the Sponsor’s Fee that will accrue daily at an annualized rate equal to 0.60% of the adjusted net asset value (“ANAV”) of the Trust, paid monthly in arrears. The Sponsor has agreed to assume administrative and marketing expenses incurred by the Trust, including the Trustee’s monthly fee and out of pocket expenses, the Custodian’s fee and the reimbursement of the Custodian’s expenses, exchange listing fees, United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registration fees, printing and mailing costs, audit fees and certain legal expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 the Sponsor’s Fee was  $640,270 and $885,125, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015, the fees payable to the Sponsor were $239,499 and $205,938, respectively. With respect to expenses not otherwise assumed by the Sponsor, the Trustee will, at the direction of the Sponsor or in its own discretion, sell the Trust’s platinum as necessary to pay these expenses. When selling platinum to pay expenses, the Trustee will endeavor to sell the smallest amounts of platinum needed to pay these expenses in order to minimize the Trust’s holdings of assets other than platinum. Other than the Sponsor’s Fee, the Trust had no expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Unless otherwise directed by the Sponsor, when selling platinum the Trustee will endeavor to sell at the price established by the LME PM Fix. The Trustee will place orders with dealers (which may include the Custodian) through which the Trustee expects to receive the most favorable price and execution of orders. The Custodian may be the purchaser of such platinum only if the sale transaction is made at the next LME PM Fix or such other publicly available price that the Sponsor deems fair, in each case as set following the sale order. A gain or loss is recognized based on the difference between the selling price and the cost of the platinum sold. Neither the Trustee nor the Sponsor is liable for depreciation or loss incurred by reason of any sale. Realized gains and losses result from the transfer of gold for Share redemptions and / or to pay expenses and are recognized on a trade date basis as the difference between the fair value and cost of gold transferred. 2.8. Subsequent Events In accordance with the provisions set forth in FASB ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events, the Trust’s management has evaluated the possibility of subsequent events impacting the Trust’s financial statements through the filing date. During this period, no material subsequent events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements were identified.  </div> </div>
