The chipmaker is leveraging private equity partnerships to secure the physical layer of AI infrastructure, moving beyond traditional capital expenditure models.
Nvidia Corp. has pledged US$2 billion to the Brookfield Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Fund, as the Financial Post first reported via investor documents. Nvidia serves as an anchor investor in the fund alongside the Kuwait Investment Authority.
Brookfield Asset Management is targeting a US$10 billion raise for the specific AI infrastructure fund. This initiative is part of a larger strategy by the New York-based firm to raise approximately US$50 billion for its infrastructure group over the next two years, with AI integrated into every strategy, as previously reported by Bloomberg.
The fund's mandate focuses on the physical requirements of the AI buildout, specifically targeting compute infrastructure, factories, and dedicated behind-the-meter power solutions.
Beyond this specific fund, the Financial Post reports that Brookfield is a member of an Nvidia-led consortium. This group is committing to the financing of AI computing deals with a total value exceeding US$500 billion. This shift suggests a strategic move by Nvidia to secure the foundational physical layer of the AI stack through private capital partnerships rather than relying solely on the capital expenditures of traditional hyperscalers.
