Early Investment Mindset: Before his acting fame, Arnold invested in real estate, understanding the long-term value and potential for growth. 2.

Westbridge recently attended the inaugural Alt x Alt conference in Toronto. The first of its kind conference brought 12 firms with a diversified portfolio of alternative assets and various investors together in a room to talk about the industry and its outlook. Mike Meekins, our President, was featured on a panel on Private Equity. We are happy for the success of the first Alt x Alt conference and looking forward to the next one closer to home in Calgary. Westbridge's income trust is focused on investing in the Mezz Debt of our portfolio companies, where our in-house professional services group provides extensive due diligence, and where we also have management control on our invested companies. Mike highlighted our 17 year record, his origins as an entrepreneur, and the evolution into a fund in the last 6 years to offer our investors a diversified portfolio of assets.

For a little over a decade now, ScaleMatrix and DDC Cabinet Technology have been akin to conjoined twins, built from the same DNA, but each having their own personalities and working to forge their own way in the world around them. Each has made their mark on the data center landscape, with our patented liquid/air hybrid cooling methodology rising to new heights in recent years, as GPU processors and AI workloads drive densities in the data center through the roof.   This was a trend that we always knew would happen, we may have been just a little early to the party with the launch of our high-density data centers in 2011.   Today, the rapid deployability, energy and cost efficiencies, and high-density capabilities of the various DDC platforms, have enabled us to support many of the world’s most demanding workloads, punching well above our fighting weight, because of the unique capabilities of our team and our technology. This morning, I’m pleased to announce that the surgery to separate the twins was successful.  😊 After an extensive process, and to support the opportunity we see driven by the explosive growth of the data center industry, we’ve chosen to move forward with a majority interest investment led by Cequel III and Thompson Street Capital Partners.  Both parties are shareholders in Tierpoint, and have had the opportunity to see the DDC platform in action throughout a variety of installations within TierPoint's network of data centers, a fact that drove Tierpoint to become one of the largest DDC customers to date. For DDC, this majority investment brings new capital into the business which will be used to scale up operations, expand manufacturing capabilities, grow our teams across a variety of disciplines, all while promoting the benefits of the DDC platforms across the global data center market.  I will continue on as Co-Founder, Chief Strategy Officer, and Minority Director on the Board of DDC, while a mentor and exceptional business person and human, Keith Markley, takes the helm of DDC as CEO on February 5th. My long time, multi-decade business partner Mark Ortenzi, will transition to Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, in charge of product development.  With some analysts forecasting that data center power usage will DOUBLE globally in the next 24-36 months, our timing couldn’t be better.     I want to thank all of our team members who helped both ScaleMatrix and DDC Cabinet Technology achieve what we have today.  The future is bright, and very exciting. For partners or others interested in working with us as we expand DDC’s reach globally, please don’t hesitate to reach out.  Chris Orlando, CEO & Chairman of ScaleMatrix Data Centers, and CEO (at least until Keith starts on the 5th 😊) of DDC Cabinet Technology

The next gen is set to play a greater role in family office activity in the coming years. Moving forward, it's clear that the next gen's attitudes towards wealth and divergent priorities will significantly impact family strategies for succession planning and asset allocations. In particular, the weighting towards and exposure to "developing" assets classes is one trend that is likely to continue. But what are these developing asset classes? Do trustees and those that represent family offices fully understand what drives the next gen and are they geared up to integrate these "new" assets into family structures? In this instalment of Ogier's article series "Conversations with the next gen," private wealth counsel Katherine Neal shares her insights to answer these key questions.

Big thanks to Altus Group and especially Omar Eltorai for facilitating a long form conversation with James Nelson and me that really captures how our teams function, both independently and together - as well as why we brought The Singer & Bassuk Organization into Avison Young | US and what we've done with the platform in the last couple years.
