Summary
Top1000funds.com has published an InFocus feature examining investor enthusiasm for data centres, titled "Believing the hype around data centres." The article was produced in partnership with Blue Owl Global and is credited to Robert Hartog. The publicly available excerpt does not disclose specific deal values, return figures or market data, so the feature's conclusions cannot be verified from the excerpt alone.

Its framing reflects a question that has become common among allocators: whether the broader narrative around data centre demand is matched by underlying investment fundamentals.
