Investment Strategy

How we allocate capital

We build a portfolio around one thesis: Thailand needs substantially more compute capacity, and the scarce inputs are not demand but power, water, title and execution capability. Our strategy follows those constraints.

Themes

Six investment themes

Each theme carries its own return profile and risk shape. Combined, they balance contracted cash yield against development upside.

Hyperscale Campuses

Large-scale capacity for cloud providers and platforms, targeting long-dated leases and stable yield.

AI Compute & GPU Clusters

High-density, liquid-cooling-ready facilities capturing structural AI compute demand.

Edge & Distributed Compute

Smaller nodes close to users and industrial demand, serving latency-sensitive workloads.

Power & Supporting Infrastructure

Substations, on-site generation, solar and storage that unlock constrained capacity.

Network & Interconnection

Fibre routes, interconnection facilities and cross-border capacity serving regional traffic.

Brownfield Repositioning

Power upgrades, cooling redesign and re-leasing that release value in existing stock.

Investment Stage

Three stages, three capital structures

Stage determines risk, return and the role we play. We do not force every project into the same template.

STAGE 01 · GREENFIELD

Greenfield Development

From land title to live campus. We take development, permitting and leasing risk, and earn both development margin and long-term hold returns.

  • Site selection and land due diligence
  • Power capacity application and grid coordination
  • Design, EPC tender and construction management
  • Anchor tenant secured before energisation
  • Ticket size: USD 20M – 150M
  • Target: levered IRR ≥ 16%
STAGE 02 · ACQUISITION

Acquisition

Operating or near-complete assets where lease quality, tenant covenant and site scarcity justify a long hold.

  • Single-facility and campus-level purchases
  • Platform and operator equity acquisitions
  • Lease quality, tenant mix, WALE analysis
  • Exit pathway via REIT or secondary trade
  • Ticket size: USD 10M – 250M
  • Target: cash yield ≥ 6.5%, IRR ≥ 13%
STAGE 03 · RETROFIT

Retrofit & Upgrade

Modest capital deployed into underperforming assets to release value through technical and commercial repositioning.

  • Power expansion and electrical upgrades
  • Air-cooled to liquid-cooled conversion
  • Efficiency optimisation, capacity reallocation
  • Re-targeting tenants, rebuilding the lease book
  • Ticket size: USD 3M – 40M
  • Target: levered IRR ≥ 19%
Asset Types

What we assess, and why

Any ownership structure and any operating status. What matters is location, power and the tenant story.

Asset typeTypical profileWhat we assess
Hyperscale campus30 MW+, single or multi-building, built-to-suitLocation, permit completeness, lease tenor

Geographic Focus

Thailand, in order of priority

We concentrate where power, land and connectivity come together, rather than spreading thinly across the country.

Priority markets

Chonburi (EEC) Rayong (EEC) Chachoengsao (EEC) Bangkok Metro Samut Prakan Ayutthaya Pathum Thani

These provinces carry the bulk of Thailand’s announced capacity pipeline. Industrial estates with grid headroom, established power infrastructure and access to the Bangkok metro make them the natural first choice for hyperscale and AI workloads.

Opportunistic markets

Nakhon Ratchasima Chiang Mai Khon Kaen Songkhla Phuket Surat Thani Cross-border (Malaysia)

Regional clusters where land and power economics are more attractive and local enterprise, government and platform demand is sufficient to anchor a facility. We consider these on a case-by-case basis, typically at smaller scale and often as an edge or distributed play.

10 ms Latency reference to Bangkok metro
10 MW Minimum secured power per project
1.40 Maximum PUE at entry, improving to 1.30
Scope Discipline

What we deliberately avoid

Defining the edges of a mandate is as useful as defining its centre.

Speculative land plays

We do not acquire land purely on the expectation of future rezoning or resale without a credible project to build on it.

Contested title

We will not proceed where title or permit disputes are unresolved, regardless of the discount available.

Assets with no power pathway

Without a credible route to secured electricity capacity, a site is not a data centre project — however attractive the land price.

Diversification for its own sake

We stay inside digital infrastructure. Adjacent sectors are only entered where they directly serve a compute asset.

Short-term trading

Our capital is structured for multi-year holds. We are not a flipper, and we do not underwrite on a quick exit.

Underwriting without operational input

If we cannot contribute beyond capital on a given project, we will usually decline rather than crowd in.

Does your project fit the strategy?

Send it across. We will tell you plainly, and quickly, whether it does.
