Six Wall Street giants have joined the effort, which could raise more than $500 billion for AI infrastructure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>The firms: Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, BlackRock, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs and KKR have signed memorandums of understanding with Nvidia to develop financing platforms for companies buying its hardware and building data centres, Nvidia said on Monday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The proposed pools of capital will support hyperscalers, frontier AI labs and enterprises, with financing aimed at Nvidia\u2019s chips as well as the data centres needed to run them. <!-- -->According to a FT report, the agreement is still subject to final terms.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Why Nvidia is turning to Wall Street for AI funding<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The move represents Nvidia\u2019s effort to bring institutional credit, insurance money and private capital into the financing of AI computing infrastructure. The company says the initiative will mobilise more than $500 billion in third-party capital over time.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Nvidia founder and chief executive Jensen Huang believes the nature of the company\u2019s chips makes them suitable for financing in much the same way as other productive assets.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>\u201cThis is really the first time that technology chips have become an investable asset class,\u201d Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC. \u201cThese are revenue-generating assets now. They\u2019re productive, they\u2019re long-lived, they\u2019re fungible, they\u2019re flexible.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Huang said Nvidia\u2019s hardware is widely used and can be transferred between customers, allowing lenders to view computing capacity as an asset capable of generating revenue over an extended period.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>\u201cFundamentally, what\u2019s different about this industry and this way of doing computing is that the computer is now part of the infrastructure, like electricity, like the internet, and so you have to think about it like it\u2019s infrastructure,\u201d Huang said in the CNBC interview.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Nvidia described the agreement as the first of its kind and said it would help finance AI infrastructure across its ecosystem, including leading frontier AI labs, enterprises and AI clouds.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>\u201cWe began by building chips; today, we are helping create a new class of productive, investable infrastructure: AI factories,\u201d Jensen Huang, founder and chief executive of Nvidia, said in a news release on Monday afternoon.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Wall Street\u2019s AI bet<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>The partnership gives some of the biggest private capital managers a direct role in financing the expansion of AI infrastructure.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Blackstone president and chief operating officer Jon Gray said AI computing could be treated as a \u201cfinanceable asset class\u201d in the same way mortgage lenders assess homes. <!-- -->He said demand for AI was exceeding supply, while usage at Blackstone portfolio companies had increased sevenfold this year.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>\u201cWe continue to be enormous investors globally across the Nvidia ecosystem, and this announcement further underscores our confidence in their platform and the future of AI infrastructure,\u201d said Jon Gray, president and chief operating officer of Blackstone. BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink said he saw the initiative as the beginning of the \u201cnext future for financial engineering\u201d, drawing a comparison with the creation of mortgage-backed securities in the 1970s.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>Some funds have already been raised, Fink said, while BlackRock would be \u201craising quite a bit more\u201d.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>\u201cWe need to raise this money as fast as possible and put this to work, because I think it\u2019s really imperative that the United States is the leader in AI in the world,\u201d Fink said on CNBC.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon said the group was entering the market at a significant point in the AI investment cycle.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>\u201cWe\u2019re in a pivotal moment of a historic AI investment cycle,\u201d Solomon said in the release. <!-- -->\u201cOur investment and distribution roles reflect our confidence in NVIDIA\u2019s leadership, and we\u2019re excited for the new opportunity to create a market for credit backed by NVIDIA compute.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"49\"\/>Solomon told CNBC\u2019s Becky Quick that Huang had approached the Wall Street firms with the idea for the financing project.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"51\"\/>Private capital groups such as Apollo and Blackstone have already arranged AI infrastructure deals to help companies including Anthropic fund spending on chips and data centres. <!-- -->They have also developed multibillion-dollar, investment-grade-rated financing for companies such as Meta and Intel that sits outside their corporate balance sheets.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"55\"\/>Nvidia\u2019s push comes at a time when investors have also been scrutinising the scale of AI investment. A July market downturn prompted questions over whether Big Tech\u2019s spending on AI would pay off, while rating agencies such as Moody\u2019s have warned that unprecedented capital expenditure is putting pressure on free cash flow and increasing technology companies\u2019 debt burdens.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"58\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Nvidia\u2019s growing role in AI funding<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"60\"\/>The chipmaker\u2019s involvement goes beyond supplying the hardware. Nvidia frequently provides financial backing to help AI partners raise debt in capital markets, supporting their spending while also helping Nvidia generate revenue.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"62\"\/>That model has raised concerns over concentrated risks in the sector because of the circular nature of some such transactions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"64\"\/>Nvidia was also in talks to provide a massive guarantee for a 10-gigawatt data centre project in Ohio leased to OpenAI, according to a person familiar with the matter. <!-- -->The company has emerged as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom as demand for its latest hardware has significantly outpaced supply. GPUs account for most of the cost of new computing capacity, while Nvidia supplies chips, infrastructure and software to a wide range of companies developing AI technology.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"69\"\/>Nvidia\u2019s market capitalisation has grown 15-fold since the end of 2022, shortly after the release of OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT. <!-- -->The company was valued at $5.26 trillion.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"73\"\/>Its shares fell about 1.1% on Monday after the FT reported the financing arrangement, wiping nearly $60 billion from its market capitalisation. The stock eventually ended the day 2.9% lower.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"75\"\/>The six financial groups joining Nvidia are collectively preparing to invest trillions of dollars from insurance, retail and institutional investors into AI infrastructure, while Nvidia seeks to use that capital to support the continued expansion of the chips, power production and data centres underpinning the AI boom.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/business\/international-business\/500-billion-ai-boom-nvidia-wall-street-giants-join-hands-for-chip-data-centre-push\/articleshow\/133141372.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nvidia has joined hands with six Wall Street giants to raise over $500 billion to finance the next phase of AI infrastructure.
