Insights

Data center ABS represents a significant emerging investment opportunity in the structured finance market. The projected $50 billion market size by 2027 indicates substantial growth potential, doubling from current levels. The $8 billion expected issuance in 2024 demonstrates strong market momentum.

The subordinate and mezzanine tranches currently offer compelling risk-adjusted returns, benefiting from the defensive nature of data center operations. These assets are particularly attractive due to their high-quality tenant base, typically consisting of large technology companies with strong credit profiles and long-term lease commitments.

For DSL, a closed-end fund focused on income generation, this expanding market provides new opportunities to diversify its portfolio and potentially enhance yields while maintaining relatively modest risk exposure. The sticky client base and mission-critical nature of data centers provide strong fundamental support for these securities.

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a new research paper, Stephan Diaz Ellinghaus, a Specialist on DoubleLine's Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) team, and Client Portfolio Manager Phil Gioia, CFA, find in data center ABS "high-yielding investment opportunities with modest risk."

The paper, "Securitizing the Digital Present & Future: Investing in Data Center Asset-Backed Securities (ABS)," can be accessed here: https://doubleline.com/wp-content/uploads/Securitizing-the-Digital-Present-and-Future_October-2024.pdf 

Data centers provide critical infrastructure, Messrs. Diaz and Gioia write, "to support the technologies that are now critical to people's everyday lives." These include emerging technologies such as machine learning, virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence as well as established ones, for example, email, messenger, streaming and social media.

Securitization, the authors note, is a rapidly growing avenue for the financing of data center assets. Primary-market issuance is "on track to hit record issuance in 2024, with more than $8 billion expected. The total data center ABS market outstanding could reach $50 billion by 2027, up from $25 billion in 2024."

DoubleLine, they write, is finding compelling opportunities in data center ABS throughout the capital structure. Subordinate and mezzanine tranches at present "offer the most attractive risk-adjusted return profiles. Like the senior tranches, the subordinate tranches are generally resilient to stress cases and benefit from the same industry dynamics and sticky client base and have more attractive spread and yield."
