DTCR, a REIT fund focused on data centre landlords like Equinix and Digital Realty, has risen 38% year to date driven by strong AI-related leasing demand, though rising Treasury yields pose a risk to valuation multiples.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Proptech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Rising interest rates are tightening valuation multiples on data centre landlords despite robust AI demand. You need to prepare for margin pressure and spot exit points in this high-growth but rate-sensitive sector now.
