In a broader review of alternative asset managers, the firm highlighted growing challenges, including redemptions from BDCs, credit strains in asset-backed finance, and performance pressures from AI-driven disruptions. Market volatility is adding uncertainty to potential realizations, and expanding credit spreads, along with ongoing fraud concerns, are creating questions about underwriting practices and downside safeguards.

The initiative comes amid a rapid expansion of the Army’s use of artificial intelligence during the ongoing conflict in Iran. Under the terms of the arrangement, the Army will provide long-term leases for the data centers but will not contribute capital to fund the construction. This project represents a significant technology and infrastructure investment by the Army while leveraging private sector expertise for hyperscale computing capabilities.
