Fund Overview

The Global Data Centre Group provides the opportunity to access a portfolio of investments in data centres that it believes should benefit from the strong growth in data driven by cloud, internet and IOT.

The underlying portfolio of data centres within the Group includes data centres in Asia Pacific that are exposed to Hyperscale cloud growth and regional/edge data centres in Europe.

Investment Strategy

The strategy of the Global Data Centre Group was to provide investors with medium to long term capital growth and some income from a portfolio of data centre businesses. In July 2023 after a unitholder vote, the strategy has shifted and the fund is unlikely to make any new investments and instead will seek to realise value over the medium term through asset disposals.

Investment Approach

The Fund will capitalise of Lanrik Partner’s deep network and expertise to source data centre businesses and assets with a focus on operators with exposure to Hyperscale, Ecosystem and regional facilities
