Technology companies have borrowed billions to fuel the rapid expansion of data centers for AI, but that demand is at risk of reaching a plateau before the debts are all paid back, according to Voya Financial Inc.’s investment arm.

Within its $50 billion private credit portfolio the asset manager is limiting holdings tied to large technology companies that have long-term contracts for artificial intelligence-linked infrastructure or “hyperscaler offtakers,” according to Voya’s Paul Aronson.
