As of June 18, 2026, the portfolio holds 26 positions, all initiated on June 12, 2025, except Powell Industries (added June 12, 2026).

Performance Review
All positions show a 0.00% return due to a static quote snapshot (first and latest quotes identical). This is likely a data artifact; actual performance may vary. No material price movements were observed in the review period. The portfolio remains fully invested with no cash drag.
Theme and Positioning
The data center theme continues to benefit from secular growth in cloud computing, AI workloads, and edge computing. Key sub-themes include: (1) Power & Cooling (Vertiv, nVent, Eaton, Schneider, Munters, Modine, Powell) – critical for managing rising power densities; (2) REITs & Operators (Equinix, Digital Realty, GDS, NEXTDC, Stag Industrial) – direct exposure to data center leasing; (3) Semiconductors & Networking (NVIDIA, Arm, TSMC, Astera Labs, Ubiquiti) – enabling compute and connectivity; (4) Energy & Sustainability (Vistra, CleanSpark, Spruce Power) – addressing power demand and renewable integration; (5) Software & Logistics (WiseTech, Corsair, Spire Global, Legrand, Siemens, Kingspan) – supporting data center operations and supply chain.
Risk Concentration
The portfolio has moderate concentration in U.S. equities (~60%) and Asia (~20%), with the remainder in Europe and Australia. Sector concentration is high in technology and industrials. Key risks include: valuation multiples (especially for NVIDIA and Arm), regulatory changes (energy, data sovereignty), and supply chain disruptions. The portfolio is overweight power infrastructure, which may be sensitive to commodity prices and grid investment cycles.
What to Watch Next
- Q2 2026 earnings reports for hyperscalers (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) and key holdings (Equinix, Digital Realty, NVIDIA).
- Federal Reserve policy and interest rate impacts on REIT valuations.
- Power grid investment announcements and renewable energy mandates.
- AI chip demand and export controls affecting TSMC and NVIDIA.
- Data center lease pricing and vacancy trends in primary markets.
Close Decisions
No positions are recommended for closure this week. All holdings remain aligned with the data center theme, and no thesis-breaking events have been identified. The portfolio is well-diversified, and the flat performance does not warrant action. Powell Industries is protected from closure until December 2026.
