New thematic fund gives investors targeted exposure to the data centre value chain, from power and cooling to networking infrastructure

The fund tracks the Solactive Global Data Center Index and charges a total expense ratio (TER) of 0.45%. It gives European investors access to a basket of companies operating across the data centre industry, a segment that has drawn growing interest from thematic ETF issuers as demand for computing infrastructure expands.

Fund structure and objective

The Amundi Global Data Center UCITS ETF is a sub-fund of Amundi ETF ICAV, an Irish-domiciled umbrella structure. It is managed by Amundi Ireland Limited, which is authorised in Ireland and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

The ETF is passively managed. Its objective is to replicate, as closely as possible, the performance of the Solactive Global Data Center Index, whether the index rises or falls, while minimising the tracking error between the sub-fund’s net asset value and the index. The expected level of tracking error under normal market conditions is set out in the sub-fund’s prospectus.

The share class is an accumulation share. Income generated by the underlying index constituents is retained and reinvested within the sub-fund rather than distributed to shareholders, which builds value into the share price over time rather than through dividend payments. Amundi recommends a minimum holding period of five years.

The ETF was launched on 9 July 2026 and is domiciled in Ireland, according to fund data published by justETF. The base currency of the sub-fund is US dollars, as stated in the fund’s Key Information Document dated 29 April 2026. The ETF also trades on Euronext Paris under the ticker DATAC and on Xetra, where it is quoted as ADTC.

The underlying index

The Solactive Global Data Center Index is an equity index measuring the performance of companies involved in the data centre industry. It is calculated as a net total return index, meaning dividends paid by constituent companies, net of tax, are included in the index return. The index value is distributed via Bloomberg under the code SOLGDCTN.

According to Amundi, the fund is designed to provide exposure to companies active across the full data centre ecosystem and value chain, including power supply, cooling, networking and digital infrastructure. The asset manager points to rising demand for computing power, storage and connectivity as the driver behind the theme.

Few pure-play data centre ETFs are currently available to European investors, a gap that issuers have been moving to close as artificial intelligence build-out accelerates demand for underlying physical infrastructure.

Part of a broader thematic push

The Global Data Center ETF was launched alongside a second new product, the Amundi Global Memory Chips UCITS ETF, which aims to give investors exposure to companies involved in memory chip production, including firms based in the United States and South Korea. The memory chips strategy was created through the renaming and repositioning of the former Amundi MSCI Disruptive Technology UCITS ETF, effective 17 July 2026.

Commenting on the launch of the two thematic strategies, Benoit Sorel, Amundi’s head of ETF and index business line, said thematic ETFs are increasingly used by both retail and institutional investors “as a way to express specific long-term convictions with greater selectivity.” He added that the two new funds “are designed to provide targeted access to segments of the market that may drive the next wave of innovation,” describing them as “the latest addition to an ambitious roadmap for our thematic range, which we will continue to build out over the remainder of 2026.”

Amundi reported that thematic ETFs domiciled in Europe attracted €17 billion in net inflows during 2025, with a comparable amount gathered in the first half of 2026 alone, based on European-domiciled ETF flow data as of 30 June 2026.

What the listing means for investors

The London listing widens access to the fund for UK-based investors and intermediaries who trade through the London Stock Exchange rather than continental venues. Investors can deal in the ETF’s shares during the exchange’s trading hours, subject to market makers maintaining liquidity, in line with standard UCITS ETF trading arrangements.

As with any newly launched thematic product, the fund currently has a limited track record and a small asset base relative to more established ETFs. Investors considering the strategy should review the sub-fund’s prospectus and Key Information Document for the full risk disclosure, including concentration risk associated with a single-theme equity index.

Conclusion

Amundi’s Global Data Center UCITS ETF began trading on the London Stock Exchange on 6 August 2026, extending the distribution of a fund that tracks the Solactive Global Data Center Index at a 0.45% TER. The listing follows the fund’s launch on 9 July 2026 and forms part of a wider expansion of Amundi’s thematic ETF range, which also includes the newly repositioned Amundi Global Memory Chips UCITS ETF. Both products are aimed at investors seeking targeted exposure to segments of the technology infrastructure build-out linked to artificial intelligence.
