We are pleased to announce that our Diversified Credit capability has invested in Teraco, Africa’s largest data center, through syndicated loan refinance.

The demand for data and the necessity of digital transformation in Africa will continue to drive demand for energy efficient, high-quality data center infrastructure. This investment will facilitate the development of critical digital infrastructure, contribute towards carbon footprint reduction, and enable meaningful employment opportunities.

We adopt an integrated approach to sustainability, applying an equal focus on risk management and positive impact outcomes.
