Platinum has recently opened an office in the UK, in order to address the growing needs of American and Western European companies. Platinum Funding Group is a true factoring company doing non-recourse, full-notification deals. Our look through mechanism allows us to execute a transaction in a very timely manner (48 hours, at times) while conducting due diligence on the company's debtors' credit stability only without any need for financial statements, balance sheet, personal guarantees and the like. We assist companies that are in their early stage of development, but with annual sales, lacking the required financial statements, thus unable to receive institutional funding. Partnering with us enables these companies to improve their balance sheet and prevent additional dilution to their investors. Moreover, we work with fast growing companies that may use additional working capital in order to meet their growing demand and keep up with their internal liabilities. In addition we finance companies going through a downturn that may not receive funds from a banking institution, or are seeking funds fairly quickly. We offer bridge funding, finance M&A transactions, various buy-outs and creative funding solutions for the closing date by utilizing the Accounts Receivable. We offer PO financing by paying off suppliers through Tri Party agreements. In order to evaluate a deal, all we need to review are the aging report and customer's list for the company. We will be able to reach an informed decision within 2- 3 hours!!!

  • Appendix D: Securities Held by Funds
    Annual Report of Activities Pursuant to Act 44 of 2010 September 30, 2015 Appendix D: Securities Held by Funds The Four Funds hold thousands of publicly and privately traded securities. Act 44 directs the Four Funds to publish “a list of all publicly traded securities held by the public fund.” For consistency in presenting the data, a list of all holdings of the Four Funds is obtained from Pennsylvania Treasury Department. The list includes privately held securities. Some privately held securities lacked certain data fields to facilitate removal from the list. To avoid incomplete removal of privately held securities or erroneous removal of publicly traded securities from the list, the Four Funds have chosen to report all publicly and privately traded securities.
