AIP Capital has partnered with Tokyo-based investment platform BeYoke Capital.
The partnership will originate aircraft and engine investment opportunities for Japanese investors via JOL, JOLCOs, and secured loan products. As part of the partnership, AIP has made a minority investment in BeYoke and will join the board of directors.
AIP said this partnership positions it with a Japanese FSA licensed JOL and JOLCO arrangement platform and will go on to further expand AIP's presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
“BeYoke is led by a team of experienced and well-respected market leaders,” said AIP managing director Scott Debano. “AIP and BeYoke are well aligned with a similar vision, and we believe this partnership will bolster both platforms while enhancing AIP's financing capabilities and further grow our investor base and serve our airline customers across the globe.”
BeYoke Capital CEO Rion Sato commented: “AIP has proven its capabilities as an origination partner and asset manager. We believe our shared core values and principles will enable us to deliver innovative solutions that align with the evolving needs of our airline partners and unlock diverse and creative investment opportunities for our investors.”
AIP Capital was advised by Morgan Lewis as lead counsel and KPMG on tax structuring.
