As volatility persists in interest rates, airline credit, and asset pricing, investors are recalibrating what constitutes a "smart" aviation deployment. While traditional leasing platforms remain attractive, capital is also flowing into emerging strategies—from part-outs to SAF infrastructure to engine leasing platforms and secondary market funds. This session brings together leading institutional and aviation-focused investors to discuss how capital is moving, where risk tolerance stands, and which parts of the aviation value chain are likely to outperform.

  • What does at’s the appetite for investing into mid-life or distressed assets versus newer, lower-risk placements? How are investors pricing geopolitical, credit, and interest rate risks?
  • Is there a growing investor appetite for hard assets? How is that appetite executed?  
  • What is appealing to investors beyond traditional aviation finance deals? MRO? Parts?
  • Capital raising: what makes for a successful fundraising for smaller, independent platforms?

Join a closed-door session with seasoned aviation investors and industry leaders. Hear how they got comfortable with the asset class, compare risk/return profiles with other alternatives, and discover how aviation can fit into your investment strategy.

Exploring the different elements of aviation as an asset class: 

  • Diversification: Aviation assets move differently to traditional equities, real estate, or infrastructure—offering true portfolio diversification.
  • Yield Potential: With global demand for air travel soaring and fleet renewal accelerating, aviation finance can deliver competitive, stable returns.
  • Hard Assets, Real Value: Aircraft are tangible, globally mobile assets with strong collateral value and established secondary markets.
  • Low Correlation: Aviation investments have historically shown low correlation to mainstream financial markets, providing a hedge in volatile times.
  • Access to Growth: Asia-Pacific is set to lead global fleet expansion, making this region the next frontier for aviation investment

Aviation finance is open for business—be among the first to seize the opportunity.
