Project background
The initiative advances a country’s digital sovereignty through green AI technologies, with a robust project plan, experienced leadership and regulatory approval already in place. We were approached to give potential investors a secured way to participate: minimizing their risk while preserving the benefits of a traditional cash investment.
The structure
Instead of the originally proposed 35/65 equity-debt split, the funding builds on custodial deposits. Investors place their capital, from USD 50 million, into a custodial account at their own bank; where a bank does not offer custodial services, we assist in opening an account with a reputable international bank such as HSBC UK, DBS or UOB Singapore after successful compliance.
- The principal remains fully secure and untouched in the investor’s own bank
- Investors receive their participation share in the data center project
- No redemption liability: after five years, investors regain full access to their funds with no repayment obligation from the project vehicle
- Comprehensive onboarding support for account setup and compliance
Funding mechanism
Upon completion of compliance and acceptance, the project owner receives financing equivalent to 100 percent of the committed capital in the first quarter. In the following years the structure provides fixed annual returns of 15 percent on the held capital plus participation incentives, giving the project predictable cash flows for operations while eliminating a classic debt burden.
The figures presented are projected targets based on the planned execution of the project and are subject to change based on operational, market and regulatory conditions.
