LONDON, Nov 19 (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 IRM.
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.
"This is a hail Mary pass of a dying business," de Weck told the Sohn Conference in London.
The team is known for their research on SES Imagotag, now Vusion Group and Spanish medical company, Grifols.
