Monthly fund update
Key points
- T8 Energy Vision finished August up 0.5% (in Australian dollars, hedged to the Australian dollar), outperforming its benchmark (Clean Energy Index -3.4%, in Australian dollars) and matching global equities (MSCI World Index +0.6%, in Australian dollars).
- We maintain our structurally bullish outlook for the electricity sector, which is booming.
- Our research indicates that electricity demand from data centres more than doubles by 2030 relative to present levels (in 2025, data centres consumed over 4% of total US electricity), driven by 10-20% per annum growth rates.
- Investors will not be able to get tangible exposure to the electricity demand growth thematic via major indices (we estimate electric utilities and their supply chains account for only 3-4% of global equities indices). For investors seeking exposure to this thematic, a specialised strategy such as T8 Energy Vision should be contemplated.
