Our Approach

Leading The Digital Revolution.

The Axxeltrova Fund owns, operates, and invests in the next generation of essential digital infrastructure in the UK, Europe and North America.

The Fund will be investing across the digital ecosystem in both passive and active components, offering exposure to firms which own the physical infrastructure assets. With a focus on greenfield and brownfield Digital Infrastructure projects, the Fund aims to primarily invest across five key verticals. These are Fibre Networks, Small Cell Networks and 5G rollout, Edge Computing and Data Centres, Smart Cities and IoT, and Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure.

Our platform is strategically identifying differentiated investment opportunities within the digital economy and has access to global institutional capital yielding significant value for our limited partners and shareholders.

 

Investment Strategy & Approach

The investment strategy aims to generate long-term sustainable growth for our clients as well as positively impact societies. By investing in businesses that we believe aid the digital infrastructure evolution, the Fund can generate compelling capital appreciation potential.

Concession Infrastructure Projects: We also focus on projects underpinned by long-term government contracts. These projects may generate inflation-linked cash flows without high correlation to economic cycles. Value stems from the contract since there is limited risk associated with the residual asset value.

All our investments are proactively managed to ensure they reach their full potential and are built to be resilient and adaptive in this dynamic environment.

 

Investment Process

The investment process is designed to form a concentrated portfolio of companies that produce significant revenues from the digital infrastructure sector. The investment team performs fundamental analysis to develop well-rounded sector views, utilising the output of valuation models and fundamental research based on industry-specific metrics. Risk analysis is also undertaken and factored into investment decisions.

  • Target Returns

The Fund targets a return of 12% p.a. with the potential for capital growth over time.

  • Target Sectors

Data centres, Telecommunication Infrastructure, Cloud Computing, EV charging.

  • Target Geographies

Europe and North America.

The Asset Class

Due to ever-changing technologies and new lifestyle habits, data utilization by businesses and residential users is soaring. An increased amount of data is being constantly generated due to businesses relying heavily on data for performance analysis, process improvement and decision making. This requires the digital ecosystem to evolve, creating a multi-year growth opportunity across digital infrastructure. Consequently, this positions industries within digital infrastructure in the centre of digital transformation. An investment universe based on the whole digital value chain is created allowing the Fund to capitalise on this powerful trend.

Digital infrastructure assets present several attractive investment features which generate value growth including recurring long-term contracts with stable cashflows, low obsolescence risk and limited barriers to entry.
