Digital infrastructure includes towers, data centers, fiber roll outs and managed sources, as confirmed by spokesperson David Graham.
The fund
will primarily target North America opportunities with a slight exposure
towards Western Europe.
The system
allocates 6% to its real assets portfolio against a target of 8%, as of October
2024.
As per STL
Partners, over the years, the growth in digital infrastructure will
be led by demand, data sovereignty, latency and government policy.
“The data center market is growing at a rapid pace globally
– analysts estimate between 5-20% compound annual growth from 2020-2030,” stated
the research.
Earlier
this year, the $520.12bn California Public Employees Retirement System
allocated $200m to the digital infrastructure fund alongside the $1bn Virginia-based
Newport News Retirement System committing $10m to the fund.
