LONDON (Reuters) -The hedge fund short selling partnership of Gotham City Research and General Industrial Partners (GIP) said on Wednesday it has taken a short position in the real estate investment trust, Iron Mountain .
The company did not immediately respond for a request for comment.
Daniel Yu and Cyrus de Weck said Iron Mountain’s leveraged investments into data centers do not match what the firm has available long-term to spend.
As of 15:55 GMT the Reit shareprice was down 5%.
The team is known for their research on SES Imagotag, now Vusion Group and Spanish medical company, Grifols.
