The global AI market is on track to expand from roughly $602 billion in 2024 to about $3.6 trillion by 2033 — a compound annual growth rate near 29%. That trajectory isn't built on hype; it's the aggregate of contracted data-centre construction, semiconductor order books and enterprise software budgets that have already been committed.
Extended Investment takes a structured position across the entire value chain rather than betting on a single winner — the chip layer that manufactures the compute, the cloud layer that operates it, and the application layer that monetises it. Concentration within the theme; diversification across the stack.

We don't bet on the winner of the AI race. We own the road every competitor has to drive on.
Every dollar of AI demand passes through four layers. We hold conviction positions in all four, weighted to where the margins and the moats are strongest.
The compute supply. A handful of designers and foundries control the GPUs, accelerators and high-bandwidth memory the industry depends on — NVIDIA holds an estimated 70–95% of training silicon at ~75% gross margins, with TSMC and HBM makers forming the structural bottleneck. As workloads shift from training to inference, we add custom-ASIC exposure growing ~28% a year.
The compute operators. Hyperscalers — Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and Oracle — are funding the >$500B buildout and marking raw GPUs up as rented inference. We hold the operators turning today's capital expenditure into durable, contracted cloud revenue.
The compute monetisers. Foundation models from the frontier AI labs — OpenAI, Anthropic and Google DeepMind — plus the copilots and vertical software built on top of them, turning raw compute into recurring enterprise revenue. The youngest and fastest-moving layer — we size it for asymmetry and manage it actively.
The compute owners — before they list. We take direct pre-IPO and secondary-market positions in the frontier private AI companies, where the largest value is still being created off the public market. In 2026 these became the biggest private assets in the world — Anthropic raised near a $965B valuation and OpenAI filed to list above $850B — and we secure that late-stage compounding before it reaches an exchange.

The AI trade is often dismissed as crowded. The data says otherwise: spending is accelerating, not peaking.
