Portfolio Management

Let's talk

In the current economic environment, the aviation sector continues to offer solid risk-adjusted returns, however, the recent introduction of more stringent bank regulations under Basel III have fundamentally changed the business aircraft finance market.

  • Servicing of performing and non-performing loans & leases

  • Return of end of lease aircraft
