Digital infrastructure generally encompasses the physical assets, such as data centers, fiber networks, and towers, that enable the storage, processing, and transmission of data worldwide. As demand for cloud services and AI appear to accelerate, these assets have become essential to modern life and economic growth.
Cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global digitization appear to be fueling unprecedented demand for data. Mission-critical infrastructure, such as data centers, networks, and connectivity platforms, is essential to supporting this growth.
While digital infrastructure may be a new asset class for many investors, its underlying components are deeply embedded in everyday life. These assets support everything from streaming a movie and sending a text message to powering cloud-based business operations and enabling AI-driven technologies.
In many ways, we believe digital infrastructure is the “roads and bridges” of the digital world. The digital infrastructure ecosystem consists of three main interconnected components.

Data centers house mission-critical IT infrastructure for corporations, governments, and other organizations.
While their exteriors are typically nondescript, inside they feature specialized environments designed to support powerful computer servers and maintain operations even during power outages.
Hyperscalers are large technology companies that operate global networks of data centers, delivering cloud services to businesses, consumers, and governments. Their data centers feature massive capacity (typically >1 megawatt), long-term leases (7–20 years), and serve a small number of major tenants.
Hyperscalers generally require partners with the scale, capital, and global reach to help deliver reliable, customized solutions.
Today, hyperscale demand is the largest and fastest-growing driver of total data center demand.1,2
Global data center spending is on track to exceed $1T by 20293, turbocharged by a “wave-on-wave” surge in demand for cloud computing and AI. As this dependency accelerates, so may the need for physical infrastructure to power the digital economy.
Data centers that are fully operational with long-term tenants and predictable cash flows. These assets generally behave like core infrastructure investments.
Data centers that are newly constructed or under development to help meet the specific needs of tenants. These projects are designed to deliver modern, scalable solutions and are typically anchored by long-term leases with high-quality clients.
Digital infrastructure can potentially offer investors several benefits, including but not limited to:

Digital infrastructure can potentially offer investors several benefits, including but not limited to:
Data center demand has increased 200% since 20106 and is accelerating rapidly, with global capacity projected to nearly triple from 2025 to 20301. Despite this surge, vacancy rates in top-tier markets remain extremely low at just 2%7.
Meeting these needs will require over $7 trillion in new capital investment by 20301, as cloud computing and AI drive a wave-on-wave expansion of the digital economy.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. There can be no assurance that historical trends will continue.
Long-term leases with investment-grade tenants5 seek to offer predictable cash flows and downside protection.8
Low correlation to traditional assets and inflation-linked rent escalators make digital infrastructure a resilient complement to core holdings.
Data centers play a foundational role in supporting the technologies that drive AI, cloud, and global connectivity potentially positioning investors to benefit from secular technology tailwinds.
