The wealth fund has been a backer of GLP\u2019s funds for years, but this is the first time it will acquire shares in the group, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/logistics-firm-glp-secures-up-15-billion-investment-adia-unit-2025-08-28\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>How it\u2019s structured: <\/strong>Adia will kick things off with a USD 500 mn investment in GLP to shore up its financial position and speed up expansion in logistics, data centers, and renewable energy. The rest of the funds are set to be invested over the next few months, a source familiar with the matter told the newswire. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Fresh capital from China, too:<\/strong> Earlier this week, GLP secured CNY 2.5 bn (USD 349.5 mn) from Zhejiang government-backed investors to expand its data center footprint in China.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What they said:<\/strong> \u201cWe have successfully invested in GLP funds for a number of years.
