ADIB Capital Limited, headquartered in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), is a wholly owned subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank PJSC and is regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). The firm has announced the launch of the ADIB Digital Infrastructure Fund, a Shari’a-compliant public fund domiciled in the DIFC.
The fund is designed to offer investors focused exposure to high-conviction listed equity opportunities in companies positioned to benefit from favourable supply-demand dynamics across the data storage and data transmission value chain, with an emphasis on markets in North America and Europe.
The ADIB Digital Infrastructure Fund provides investors with a Shari’a-compliant avenue to participate in the global digital transformation while enhancing portfolio diversification through exposure to digital infrastructure assets. The fund follows a bottom-up investment strategy, combining in-depth company analysis with an assessment of broader macroeconomic trends. It invests selectively in a concentrated portfolio of approximately 20 to 25 securities trading below their assessed intrinsic value, with the objective of delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Structural tailwinds driven by Artificial Intelligence, cloud computing, e-commerce, and increasing mobile connectivity continue to underpin the long-term growth outlook for the digital infrastructure sector. The fund seeks to capitalise on these enduring trends by investing in essential assets such as data centres, cell towers, fibre networks, and related infrastructure. Rising global demand for connectivity, alongside constrained supply in data storage and transmission assets, has created a compelling investment environment for targeted exposure in this space.
ADIB Capital will manage the fund in partnership with DigitalBrid, Liquid Accounts Adviser, LLC, an affiliate of DigitalBridge Group. DigitalBridge is among the world’s leading specialised digital infrastructure investment firms, with a global platform spanning the ownership, operation, and investment across a broad range of digital infrastructure assets.
The fund’s structure, investment universe, and documentation have been reviewed and approved by its Shari’a Supervisory Board, reinforcing investor confidence in its robust Shari’a-compliant framework. This is further supported by ADIB Group’s strong governance standards and established institutional capabilities.
