The investment objective of the VT Gravis Digital Infrastructure Income Fund is to provide quarterly income whilst also providing capital growth through market cycles (7 years).
The sub-fund will aim to meet its objective by primarily (at least 70%) investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other listed securities that own, operate or finance tangible assets that provide the infrastructure which enables modern technology to operate successfully. This is likely to include, but not exclusively, assets such as communication towers, data centres, distribution centres that enable the fulfilment of e-commerce, fibre optic networks, smart grids, battery storage, and warehouses. The Fund may also invest (up to 10%) in listed vehicles which are being specifically established to invest in such infrastructure.
The sector is currently weighted in favour of REITs, however, as the digital infrastructure sector grows the ACD may identify additional opportunities in the sector, in other security types, such as equities, real estate operating companies (REOCs) and bonds.
The sub-fund has a global investment remit and will invest in companies listed in member nations of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development plus Singapore and Taiwan.
The sub-fund may also invest (up to 30%) in collective investment schemes, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash.
There is no particular emphasis on any geographical area.
