Copper and Grid Metals Investment Thesis
Electrification and the data centre build cycle are pulling copper and adjacent grid metals into structural shortage.
Why now
Grid build-out, electrification of transport, and data centre demand are stacking on top of mature copper supply. Tier-one assets take a decade to bring on. The bottleneck is real, durable, and unhedged.
Where I focus
- Tier-one copper assets in stable jurisdictions
- Refining and processing capacity outside Asia
- Adjacent grid metals: nickel for transformers, silver for solar
- Recycling at industrial scale
