Robeco Gravis Digital Infrastructure Income is an actively managed fund that invests in a globally diversified portfolio of best-in-class real estate and infrastructure companies that are listed in developed markets and are likely to benefit from the digitalization of economies, changing the way we work, live and play. The selected real estate and infrastructure companies own, operate or finance tangible assets, such as communication towers, data centers, distribution centers that enable the fulfilment of e-commerce, fiber optic networks, smart grids, battery storage, and warehouses. The fund promotes E&S (i.e. Environmental and Social) characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of the European Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, integrates sustainability risks in the investment process and applies Robeco’s Good Governance policy. The fund applies sustainability indicators, including but not limited to, normative, activity-based and region-based exclusions, proxy voting and engagement. The Sub-fund is actively managed. Although securities may be components of the benchmark, securities outside the benchmark may be selected too. The investment policy is not constrained by a benchmark but the Sub-fund uses a benchmark for comparison purposes. The Sub-fund can deviate substantially from the issuer, country and sector weightings of the benchmark. There are no restrictions on the deviation from the benchmark. The benchmark is a broad market weighted index that is not consistent with the environmental, social and governance characteristics promoted by the Sub-fund.

Market development
US PCE inflation remained at 2.7% in the year to April 2024. It is expected the Federal Reserve will continue to keep interest rates unchanged at their upcoming meeting in June, with more positive data on inflation needed before they can begin to decrease. However, there are expectations that the Federal Reserve is on track to start cutting interest rates ahead of the US presidential elections in November. In the Eurozone, inflation increased to an annual rate of 2.6% in May, up from 2.4% in April, which was higher than markets were expecting. As a result, some analysts now believe price pressure could increase again in June. This was certainly the case at the recent ECB meeting, where the ECB announced a cut in its main interest rate from an all-time high of 4% to 3.75%. The president of the ECB said the outlook for inflation had improved "markedly", paving the way for the rate cut. It also follows Canada's recent decision to cut its official lending rate.

The digital infrastructure sector is set to continue growing, with strong demand driving rental growth across the sector. The fund manager maintains a positive outlook on the digital infrastructure sector, primarily due to the strong performance of underlying portfolio assets. Equinix (portfolio weight 6.8%), one of the world's largest global data centers and colocation providers, reported a 7% year-on-year increase in earnings for the quarter which ended 31 March 2024, marking 85 consecutive quarters of top-line revenue growth, which was the longest streak of any S&P 500 company. In addition, in the first quarter of 2024, Montea (portfolio weight 3.1%), an investor in logistics real estate, saw EPRA earnings rise by over 16% compared to the same period in the year prior, while retaining full occupancy for the fifth quarter in a row. There is no doubt that next generation listed digital infrastructure remains a core component of the technological revolution, highlighted by the strong returns across portfolio assets. As such, the digital infrastructure sector remains a key investment area for any investors seeking strong and stable returns.
